The Bulletin's Inconsistencies.

iv. ;-| Ka Lko advocates a inodified*form i)f sdcialisoi ibr thi,-' country; so savs , ihe nebulons productiou of the brainless u senior" \vriter in Queen etreet, characterized bv some as 'ihe bluTiderer.*' Now it appears to all clear-minded reador?, that article in Ka Leo does nothing *>f the kind, not even the f3ocialism of whieh the Pope and lord Saulisbury liave become exponents," however flatteriug it may be fbr the Leo to be pnt in such <iistinguishe<i companv. Cannot you yet read correctly, Dan? I# seems I you'd better go back for a eouple of years to your brother's sc!icol— you seem to suffer from mental ās well as visual obfuscation. 4< The socialism Ka Leo would like, however, is a salary for every lx>dy from the treasury, and everyl>ody to fix his own salary"—where ;and how the a blunderer" has made this startling discovery is difficult to say, unless he merely judges the -Leo by his own self, and iinagines his own wishes io he shared by "everybody." How we would like io see the "blunderer" have the power of drawing a salary *from the government without ; 'being kamI>ered by any pledges" or principles!l That would be fun!!! Butj the eap does not fit the Leo, because it has, on the contrary, always been advocating the reduction of all ex<3essive and unnecessary salaries. One more inconsistency nailtd to your W, old boy! Go and learn liow to write without distorting everything and everybody through your uncanny mikaaniani, "as ihrough a glass, darkly," The "blunderer" has been ordered by its autocrat shareholders to fight for all it was worth, and the liUle nebulosjty, who calls himself the most read newspaper writer of the plaee, is trying hurd to earn his salary; that is right enougli oh, blunderer, and we thank you for giving us such fine chances to bo\\l you ovor and over as every line vou write ean be turneil against vou. Last night. the IhtU> fhi u:,s out on the war-path about thc roorganisation thc Mechanic.os } l'nion, aiul ho

gives,—for advice to that association, so» gpod in fact and so well to the point that we cannot too strongly recommend it to the attention of all its members: u They (the mechanics) _should not let politidans whose hands are innoeent of toil eome into their ineetings und monopolize the di?cussionsj aiid dictate the conditions ofj tho eontcst." L'orrect! and so we do hope 'hat the incchanks will beware of li l le l>an ; that u defeated politiclan waose hands are innocent of toil, 7 ' and ' -ill not allow him to i "monopolize vhe discussions/' nor will they permit his aqueous organ, the blundering Bīdletin y to "scheme how to get the Mechanics" Union to carry out its selfish aims." and we here give wami ng ath at the i n terference," ii> the association, by the EuUeiin, that • , orb' J owned by white-handed politieians, at the head of whieh are some ministers and their planter fricnds and some ladies of rank. u wiil prevent the adhesion of the truiy»re]rrcseutative mechanics and workingmen, who gave tone and back-bone to the original union." YeSj Dan! Tbe workingmen know who their tnie and w&o_their false pohtical friends are; and the\ Bulletin "clique" and v { coterie," are already branded aej cording to their desserts as hypocrites and false friends; so you need not bother about giving the workingmen advice or taffy; thcy know what they have todo for themselves without your interference. The Hullelli} does noi seeni very sympatheiic to the native Hvi Kalaiainn. 11 probably knows that ail its rethoric and interested advice arc lost on the members of | that association. So according to Dan,—« not Dan Lyons, but the Maui defeated Dan. ■— "if the allij anee be retained" between the Mechanics and the Hui* Kalaiaina. I ■'•'#■■■ -i "■■ . '*they should confer through eommittees" —- now, that is exactly what has always been done, oh you "blunderer!" The two executive committees used to meet whenever concerted action was needed, and it was to a meeting of these two committees that you owned tbe unmerited .'ionor of vour nomination to the Maui theater of your diseomfiture. How forgetful you do grow, Dan, when you think you don't need the boys auy more !! But to return to the Hui Kah.iaina; it seems that, in the Hull' mind the futurd allianee bet\v<vi. the two societies is doubtful, ther Ī8 a "if!" And the BvUctin do< not care a cent about that alliam - on account of t4 ;ti generally empty harangues" fro, members of the Hui.. Now. <1.. blunderer, those harangues, ho cver long winded thev niay ha. been, were made by patriut. who were speaking, in their v»w. countrv, about the rigiits and want>,of their tVUow-meu. Th:it ui kiml of mati to sil< k nt e. and that

the kind of speech yoa and yo«r i patroiis woald like to hosh upDan, you on]y want the praises of the administratron that gives * pap to your newspaper and <lividends to the motley crowd ofyour shareholders, atid that isthe kind of stuff your "orb" wants t,o <; reflect." But the puhlie are siek of you &*nd of.yow svcophantic policy.
