Thē Elele Fublishing Oorapany hus decided to snspend tho publication of tho National Hekai.p for the present The oauses whieh made the publication of a daily newspaper in the interests of tho people a necessit3have toraporarily eeased to exist, Tlie weekly Elele will resume pubJication as \jsual 011 and after next Saturday. As tho Eīele will fully supply public needs until the meeting of the Legislature, the present will be the last issue of the National Hehalp nntil furfcher notice. It becomes the duty of every good eitizen to use his inAuenee at honie and abroad to correct the evil results emanating from late partisan metliods used in tlie election campaign. Our * citizens do not live on politics, but on trade, agriculture and meehanieal pursuits. Any campaign results whieh tend to depreciate our industrial resourees should, therefore, be corrected at onee. The campaigu story sent abroad to the effect that a defeat of the government party meant immediate want of confidence abroad, needs correction. The impression attempted to be created that Hawaiian bonds would sink in value as soon as the ne\vs of a change of government reached London, needs correction. The campaign whieh was repeatedly iii' sisted upon as a campaign w r eapon, that a chauge of administration meanl that Hawaii was to be ruled and ruined by the revohitiouary element of the kingdom } needs emphatic and imiuediate correction. Facts are material truths f whieh the industrial people of the kingdom prefer to accept and deai with in settling polHieal differences. Whenever sueli differences arise the public generally secs the benefit of following facts rather than the poliiieai eroakings of the disgruntled.

lii our preseut state of naiional development we are necessarily a nation t;f sbop-keepers and planters. The meehanieal trades, whieh are one day destined to be a promiaent element in.our civilization, have but lately reached a point where they may be considered as an integral part of our fature progress. The percentage of desirable free labor now in the country adds to the complex nature of tlie united interests of our cosmopolitan people, !

It is evident tliat any jourualistic! misrepresentation abroad of o«r inter' nal eondition, is a detriment to eaeli and every industry of the kingdom. To strike a campaign blow, in tlie of llie present government> by deiiberate falßifieation of present facts and future results is to endanger the industrial «nd commercial benefits accruing to all classes of our eiti zens. Dnring the late campaign poliHeal ( methods parried a little furfliorji than usnal. The present ministers f ; who were two years ago given the | trusteesl)ip for the people of the whole. * kingdom, have seen fit t g(» beyoud j campaign misrepresentations, Theyp

have deliberatoly, puiposely and unjustly doiie the entiro Jdngdom great injury at home aml abroad by dragging into a political campaign our foreign relations with France and America. They attempted to make our treaty relations with Amei'iea a campaign issue } when m fact our entire population without political distinction is friendly to the United Btates and desires a continuance of our treaty relations with the. great Republic.

It is the duty of evcry good citizen of Hawaii to now uso liis īnAuenee at home and abroad to eorreet tliese evil results omanating from tlie pavtisan methods used by the ministers aud the repyesentatives of the eliques anel factions during the late campaign.
