The N«tional Reform party will hold a mftss meefciug at Pulaee Square ob next Tuesday eveuirig atlialf-past seven o'ctock. Prominent speakers will acldress the ineeting. Mr. Capitalist Youiag is especiall_y invited to be in attendance to feel the politicKl pulse of the luboring-classes, wbo will be out in force. This will lik-olv ha Mip

ori!v ehanee Mr. Capitalist Young \ySll bave before election of meeting the middle classes of meehaniee and workingraen.

Mil Oapitalist Young professes to be in favor of an equitab!e, a just, a lhbor-protecting nnd an honest Government. Yet for three j r ears he has snstained the late Thurston reyhne with his wealth and influenco, Mr. Young, like his poliiieal masters, is giveh to making startling promises on the eve of nn eleeiion. The iae* isj Mr. Yonng h»s lmcted, and thin, a Governhieiit wb?ch waa exactly the revorse of ih» 4 now professes toaduiire. The Reform Government was fonnded in violntion of constitutional law; the Thurston Ministry w»s org<wiiz«t and aun in the interests of the capitalistic classes; the policy <-f tlie lute Goveruro«nt was prn-Chiti»so to a fault; the Thurston C£rtbinet attempted to destroy the in.dcj)cndsnce of Hawnii 1» favor of sūg*r planters like Mr. Young; yet thi? prij-o!miese capitalist of tho Uonolul n Foandrv endorsed every action of the worst Government Hawaii has ever hud. Siuce when, Jīr. Capitnlist Yourig, did yon full in love with honest Governnient in the interests of tiie people.

Mr. A. B. Ha.rt\vell'asudden retnrn at onee retuinded ns that repeived' « $500 retailier mnn_y uionths ago to hiel in the prt)secntion of B. W. Wilcox "and others, for conspiracy. As Mr. HaHwell voluotari!y !eft Honolulu before the trial ot trials eaiiiw off, the question arises: Upon whftt legal or moral grounds does Mx*. Hartwell rctain ari uneajned rettiiner ? Had Mr. Hartwell not left so hnrriedly in the fir-st instunce tlvere is no do«bt he would bavo retnmed the aion©}- to the proper departuient before going. We are further inclined to believe thato;jr of t3ie objects of Mr. HartweH's retur: on the last ste»tuer was to "fix th< raatter" as he had by letter already proruised the d<3partment liō' would Although unable to esplain whv Mr. Hartwell left a time withoi't returning the money, we etill havo a sort of dnbious faith, founded upon his psist professions, that"he will seud the money by the first return*steamer from the Coast. We uiake these remarks thns publicly in Mr. Hartwell's defense, becanse many ill-natured people are already making it a matter of street prophecy that Mr. Hartwell will turn out "bad" irj the premises, itfs the majority of the leadei - s of the original lieform party have already turned out oflieially.

Dear Advtrti*er: You are right— indet you are, for n wonder, precisely right. The National p*rty will lollow constitutiohal and legal methods of procedare in whatever it does, and ipill openly discuss wh«t is best to be when the raatter of coQstitfltionn! araendment is brought properlv and sober]y bofoi'e the Legislature.
