Maiy Clement Leavitt says, that “those who would by their ballots restore the old wicked—opium and lottery bills —policy, should not be allowed the use of them.” She is probably in favor of smug(jling. / * Perhaps Mar\’ Clement Leavitt, will write a eouple of columns on the history of the American Indiaus and their treatmeut. Mary Clement Leavitt is reqnested to read an article in Thrum’s Annual of 1893, headed ! “Histor}' of the ProvisiouaI ces- i sion of the Hawaiian īslands and their Kestorution,’' she may learn something to her beuefit.

Does Mary Clement Leavitt not know, that on the 31st day of July 1843 the Bbitish restored to King Kamehameha III. “a full restoration of his rights, privileges and dominions?” If not, she had better read Hawaiian history.

Wbat in the deuce have the actions of William of Normandy, William of Orange or anybody else, 100 or 1,000 years or so ago got to do with the present Hawaiian situation? Ask Mary Clement Leavitt L. A. Thurston has the faculty of denying anything and everytbing. It may be polilie, but it sounds very mueh like downright lying. \

A loeal correspondent thns photograpbs Mr. Cbarles Carter. Ho dresses like a dude, acts like a fool, and looks like an ass, but he still imagines himself a statesman. Charlie Carter's didum of twenty-five paragraphs to Secretary Gresham is conclnded. It is an abie (?) docnment. TVhat a pitv the Secretary did not listen tohim,orgive him an opportuuity to speak. The f»ct is Secretarjr Gresham knew a great deal more of Hawaiian afiain from reliable sonrces, tban he probab!y wou!d hare asoertained from Charlie Carter, eo did not care to hear his story .

If Charlie Ci»rter h»d remaiued longer in \Vashinton he iright have heard more truths regarding Hawaiian »ffairs than he erer bn< tc, but jvhich Secretary Gresham did know. The Star said the other evening. that “The constitutional rights of United States citizensin tl)ese Islands are amply secured bv tbe United States Constitation.” So far as those rights of hon.i fide law abiding United States citizens are concerned, that is correct. Bat filibasters, rebels, anti-Amerieans, and revolutionists do not eome nnder that head, nor are they protected by the clauses refered to editoria!ly by the Star man. “Here, Ladiesand Gentlemen” cried Stellar Smith the showman of the Great Provisional Circns “yoa see the great Hebrew dwarf, Frankie Hatch. He’s the smallest man in tbo world.” “Its no such thing” retorts the dimiuative Vice-President standing on tip toe. “I’m tbe great New Hampshire Giaut. •‘Oh Gentlemen” observed the showman sbaking his head eompassionately “its a pity that u dwarf that is so perfect iu every respect, shouldn’t have a better lot of brains.”
