TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Tbe Ii»t«*st TĪctim of iLe wratb of the SLir antl banilfal of followers of raixe»l n3tion.«lities belonf»ing to the club is Mr. Cecil Brown roeinl>er of the A.dvi»ory Conncil. Mr. Ilrown h«s dared in open «es«ion to snggest that the Execntive Co«ncil live up to the dnties prescribed for it in the proc!«ra»tion of J»nuarv the I7th and lun tLe governroent withont ullovring the a»s- inMe«l visdom of the annexalion club or any Tom, D ck o* n«rry to dictate to it aml to bnlldozo it. The SUr call-i Mr. Brown a mngvnm]i uml a secret royalist an-1 throws ont somo tlire thre«ts about caliing a inH8s-nu‘eting to annihilaie all the infi«lels who refuse to worship the clnb aml its prophet. tho Star. This !nass nieeting businef=s isgotting kiud of monotonons. Let ns have one by all means aml let us then thoroughly investigate the raaterial whieh will con8titute the moctiug and whioh will snpport the proposition of the Stur that the Execntive Couucil au»l the G»>voruraent ranst t«ke their in8trnctious from the iuteresting individnals who run the club. Tho Star may be followed aml 8upj>orttHl bv the 2.22*2 Portnguese, by tho drei-handred and bjr the handfdl of j>etty govornm’nt clerks who are tiying to play ward-hosse8 now. Bc.t the in(lucntial aud res;x>otable eleuient—aud n3mnrkable to suy there ure f-‘w of that kiud in the ranks of tho annox«tiouist«- will be «d the opinion that if Mr. Dole aud his Cabin«*t huven t got t l »e confidenca of their supporters in a «uilieioui »logree to do their doty aml attend to their buatuess it wouhl l>e better for them to step down »ad out at onee instea«l of being ha«upere«l aml dictated to bv an iri s ‘sponsible crowd who think tb«t thoy run the couutry b eause they have beeu fnrnished with a ritle aml sora« cartndges. The proposition of Mr. Emme luth whieh calledf«>rth C. Browo'« vigorons oppoeilion is worthy of the pohiieal knowle«ige aml brains of the little plnmber. We have never yet le»rned that it was e »nsidere<l a«lvis»blo to punish onr cnemi«s by forn>shing them arms a n «1 allow,ng them a platfe in »>ur r»nks where they c*a «ow dism*nsion aml troolde. But that is aecordmg to his own s»ving extctlv whal this funoy combi n.vti«>n of « tin-smith «nvl a slatesmso desires.

H- b*« no confidence in these men. He sospects their loyalty 1 to the government. He doabts the -incerity of their oath He watches tbem with cert*in appre henaion and terms them spies ; an«i r*sc«ls —and then he staml8 , np in ihe A«lvisoiy Oonneil aml j insist« ontheg«>vernment. fnrnish- j ing thtse very men witb arms «nd amnnUion ami forceīng tbem in amoug the soldiers w ho it is clatroed are the mainprop and sole support of the present Government against the people. Mr. Brown ha«l g«x>d reason to be seized with that ‘*tiretl feelingamltolosehistemper. Sen*tor Emmelnth is enongh to make an ( angel swear. Had white winged | Jira Morgan l>een there he wonhl ; hav« Ulked Irish till further j notic» and sold the plumber for j “two bitty. Mr. Johnstone is still on the war path against th*> despised half whites. He corapares the increase of them with tlie large iucre3so in the class called Hawaiian born foreigners He is anxi«>ns to let the last roentioned class ap;>e«r as if it consisted of Anglo-Saxons while he knows as well as we do, that a veiy large majority of thera are Portuguese. As the Portnguese are departing gradnally from here. and will continne to «lo so, aml as they take their childreu with them. Mr.« Johnstone will find nt the next censns a very raarked decrease in the Hawaiian born foreigners. The half whiiea on the other side will keep on increa«iug, nnless Mr. Johnstone and the nther haoles married to Hawaiiansshould it ta ve intotheir heads to depart from bere—or otherwise stop the increase. We reprint elsewhere a letter from the famous traveller Ott«> E. Ehlers whieh apj>eared » few months agn in Kolniahe Zeitung. aml whieh farnislu‘s some venintcrosting reading raatter as a g»>o«l exainple of how otber people see us. Mr. Ehlers is a great traveller and explorer, and is a special favorile of the Emperor of Germany, In a letter to a gentleman in this city, Mr. Ehlers st»tes that he has lai«I his report of his visit here before llie Eraperor who appeaml «leeply inter-sted in tbe sitnation here and expresse*i himself in the raost symj>athetic terms towanls the Qneen. Mr. Ehlers is eon-, siderate enough not to raeution the insulting «nd boorish treat iuent to whieh he and Major Rol>ert9nn were sobmitte«I, when he desired to see the Paiaee by the hand« of the *’sweeper ont” or wh«tewr title it is tbat Mr. Dv>le’s ''ehamheHaiu" sails nndcr.
