Hawaii Holomua, Volume II, Number 9, 11 January 1894 — Untitled [ARTICLE]

The continoeil ret«‘nt»on,.b\ the rrovisional GoTernment. of | men in theireropioy who perfonn the doties of spies, i* an act j whieh is V«th nunecessan' and eipensive. Further tiian that. roaD y of the men tbus ciothed witb anthority. or sopposed to j be. are not of good character, . and their training and in»Hncts ni.ike tbeni nn undesirab!e ele roent for the peacefuliy d’S|iosed citizc-ns of Honolulu to corae in | contact witb, either in the light or dark. There is nut the slightest necessity for such a force l>eiug now retained, as the regu- i lar poliee force are amply «ble to uphohl tho dignity of the law. c«i>ecially when there ure, in even - residcuce block iu the city, good inenenrolled aside frora their politics, who will not hesitate to npbold law and order. There are raany non-supportcre if the claims of the P. G. thus enrolled and who are honest, detennined citizens. The HoLOMUA wou!d, iu the present condition of things most strongly oppose, aud of nec68sary denounoe. any atteropt at violence, of any kind, by tlie many |>eople who consider still, that Stovens’ act was an unwarranted outrage. No! geutlemen of the Government, spies are not nocessary, ,therefore “eall off your dogs ’ and let the good citizens of Ilonolulu, whoae name is legion, be perraitted to control the fair fame of the city aud as one whieh is the abode of nn order— loving and peaeeably disposed community whieh needs no spies to dog their steps or anticipate their sentiments or conversations. The dihectobs of tbe Star Company have savod the situation by writing h letter to the wouldbe legislutor Mr. W. G. Smith iu whieh bo is told, tbat if he follows the eall of his ambition and accepts Tim Murray’s nomioaliou for a soat in the Advisory be will have to step down and out from tbe editorial cbair in the Star oftice. The whole aft'air is a bluft‘from the word“go.’’ Mr. EmmeluUi who is a partner in the newspaper business of Mr. Smith evidently fouud that in spite of the Club and the League and the Guard and the Verein Mr. Smith hud no show of being elected to the Couucils and eon sequeutly un issue between the governmeut aud tho political orgauizatious wus avoided by Mr. £iumeluth (Great Scott!) writing to Mr. Smith that he eouhl not be spared from the Star. It is really too bad for Smith. In his seekiag for notOriety he has been checkod by his bosom friends and he has to remaiu in obscurity siinply because the f«unily compact will uot opon the doors ils saorod circles to an outs:de ftllibuster, or tolerate any outside iuterference iu their monopoly of land-steaiing, grabbing aud ruling. We sincerely regrel lhat Senaior(!) Emmeluth weakeued, because we had hoped to see him make a strong fight for bis importod pet and be defeated as osualiy by the missiouary party. Poor £mmeluth! Foor Smitii! Auotber bnbble burstetl, another air csstle tumbled down. And now. we trust, that Walter G. Smith will apply for the otHce of Minister of Foreign Atfairs. We poblish in another eolnmn a letter from Mr. Juen to Marshal Hitchcock. lt will be remembered ihat Mr. Juea some woeks ego made sorue startling disclusures relating to tbe dynamite whieh waa found near the Qoeen s residenc«, ao episode out of whieh the anuexationists and their press tned previously io make as mneh eapiUl againsl Ihe Queeu and hcr suppv»rters, as they convc»iently C ‘Uld do. Mr. Juen proved that the plot was gotten up and carri«d out by poliee oj£cen, and

t! t Marsbal Hitcbcock was made aw*re of tho infamous « Iater on, but remained . 1 ,»erfecUy in-active and retained < tiie me.i oo t*ue poliee force, a |K>l«cv aiso followtd by him t - ; wards those who perpetrated the : ■ j ontrage agaiast Mr. Ciaus Sprec- j * kels. Tbe Marehal at the time made uo attempt to exonerate himseif of the charges' made ag.‘.ast him and his subordinates —becaose he kuew all the al»eg.it»ons to be troe, t but he confiued himself to vituperatiousof Mr. Juen in the public press and prr>mised to prove , his accusations against him. ' Nothing has been heard from the Marehal since, and Mr. Juen is therefore publicly asking him a few qnestinns whieh it may be of interest to the t.«xpayere to have ; Mr. Hitcbcock answer. Ine whole aftair b:«s gaiued consider- j able notoriety both bere and . abroad and it is about time for the Chief of the Poliee to clear | himself or stand convicted cf ( being a patrouiaer if not abettor , of crimiuals.
