The Breach Healed.

We regret to distqrb tbe generāl joy whieh permeated the Reform Party ranks, after seeiag the an» nouneement in ©«r Tuesday's issue that a ct split" iu the Nationa3l Party was quite possible, in fact, imminent, on account of underhanded eflforts being made to displace certain leading Hawaiians holding i3ertain positions in the organizations composing the latter party. While it joy to .the ,iOpen opponents and secret enemiee of the Nationalists. it brought no very pleasant sensation to the majorjity of the party. However, whatever others may have thought and felt as to the resulcs of the eall for a meeting of the natives, we were satisfied that no worse CoVild happen to the National Party, by aii ppen settle* ment of the existing causes of mteunderstanding than what it would eventually eome to in the end, if such a state of distrust should be allowed to exist, through the machinations of a few who have bolted from the principales of the party to serve their own selfish ends, and who, we are assured are aiming to do mischief and accomplish it by causing the disruption of the Party, or controlling it. While regr«tting being obliged to dispel the joy that others may feel in the possible fall of those who would be their friends in an honorable way, we feel it a duty to ourselves, and a very natural and excusable one, to express the gratification of the Hawaiian Pohtical Association in their unification uuder more popular rulers and regulations, with a President. who will notbe brought and sold with a few honeyed words, spiced with a lie or two.
