THE MARSHAL'S CONFESSION

That incarnadinely hirsute specimen of oblique vision and apparently still obliquer morality (in regard to the goddess who is fabled to

dwell at the bottom of a well) y-clept the Marshal of the Provisional Government of the Hawaiian Islands says Harry Juen is a liar. We notice however that he calls him this approbrious epithet on general principles, while not only not contradicting one solitary atom of Juen’s sworn testimony, but admitting that the whole is true. At the same time we notice that he dates this alleged discovery of Juen's lack of veracity to a period so long ago that, as he himself admits, he has re-employ-ed him as a police officer and consequently a witness on oath from time to time against criminals, more than once after, as he says, finding out that Juen was not worthy of ‘‘the slightest confidence either in his truth or honesty." And this redheaded illogical aml incompetent coverer over and condoner of crime as well as conspiracy, according to his own published statement, is the heaven sent Marshal provided by the Provisional Government in place of that honest, active, upright and determined man Charles B. Wilson, whose two years of Marshalship were never disgraced by such acts as Hitchcock has now the shameless impudence to openly confess and glory in. “And of such is the Provisional Government of Hawaii."
