CORRESPONOENCE.

[We <k> bo4 hc4d ouieli» i*poasibl« fax tbe ojw»icas or Ute of o«r 1 coRnpo&dnts.] Epitor Holomua: “Thosehrave men, u&o&e eommission \ct kold, \cho kaee faith/uUy \ ■ stood by U9 tn the hour of trial <ind 1 \chose wiU is the only earlhly authorily vx neeppwūe.” A euiioua puhlie migbt ask: who are tlu>se brave meu allutied to, and where and on what occasion have they shown their braverv—does Mr. Dole , refer on this point to Mr. J. ! i L. Stevens and his marines of the U. S. S. Boston with their ! display of cannons, mitralleuses and other iraplemonts of war, at the time that he grabbed the reins of govern- : meut? Or does he refer to the I : bravest of all tbe braves—the i commander-in-chief of the i forces with the rank of eolo-! nel (orsomething of like nature) j j and his raulligan guard consistj ing of deserted sailors, and the scum of late arrivals from : the coast by route over Canada including those heroes or i braves who rifled Kalakaua’s crown and stole the opium from the Marshal’s custody? | Well, who are those braves i anyway, whose commission Mr. Dole holds and whose 1 will he recognizes as the only ; earthlv authoritv? Bv this V V • Iatter assertion of Mr. Dole it seems to us that the tax-. payer is uo factor in govemmental aflairs at all—he has to pay his taxes and keep his mouth shut, while Mr. Dole and his braves are attending to the distribution of the money—that is about all—and such is Mr, Dole’s love and reverence for “free American institutions,” Amekioan.
