Hawaii Holomua, Volume III, Number 258, 10 July 1893 — Untitled [ARTICLE]

Gbeat Scott1 So brother Johnstone i? a Hawaii»h. Wealways did wonder wliere he hailed from and what he wae, but his editorial on Hobert Wilcox this moruing has settled all our doubts. Eeeauae this is what this great journali»t and famo is polilieian writes about the '‘native politician” and he couldn’t have sketched a better portrait of bimself if he had tned ever so long. “There is scircely a native politician in Hawaii who has not within the past few yeara, been upon both sides ot every public question whieh hae arisen.’ (Mr. Johnstone who, to-day is the ehampion of the misBionary party was the editor of the Elele and the Daily Naiional Herald in 1890, and assames the glory of defeating the reform party.) “He (the native polilieian and Johustone) is jast as liahle to shift again and again during the next few months before ; the iaaue is fioally settled.” (Thia from the ex-editor of the Natiocal Herald—tbe d«fender of tbe oolitii eai rights of the down-trodden Ha- *

waiian*.) “He is un?table aa water, and his poliueal principles and nalioual ideas doat like corks with every charge of the tide.” (Should the Bulletin offer Mr. Johnstone a h ; g?er salary he would ‘•float Iike a cork” into the anti-an-nexation eamp.) ‘*Il is the evident unreliableness of his cbaracter whieh brings him wilhiu the eontempt of the haole.” (Hear! Hear! O ! Iisten to such aulo biography.) *‘Fortunateiy Arglo-Saxon j>olitics and |>olitician3 are made of different st'.ff. and have a hahA of clinging to a c.iuse until success is assured and all obstacles are finallv (What bett>‘r nr«x>f tnat Jobnstone is not an AngIoSaxon? By the meraory of Sissv Scissors we thank you Arthur t r finally giving us tiie truth and nothing but the truth.)
