Hawaii Holomua, Volume II, Number 37, 13 February 1894 Edition 02 — Rumors. [ARTICLE]

Rumors,

From time to time the annexation organs print some very wild rumors and accuse the royalists of making them. As a rule no royalist ever even heard of the rumors before he read them in the columns of the Star or Advertiser and they are generally a surprise to him.—It would be interesting if the Advertiser would state next time it is going to print a royalist rumor, the source from which it gains it. We are anxious to know the Royalist (?) who is filling the reporters of the P. G. organs and we beg them to state his name unhesitatingly. Ten to one that he is unknown as a Royalist among our friends.— The reported poisoning of the soldiers a few days ago didn’t have much effect although it came out in time for the outgoing mail. The Star made very little capital out of it and the Advertiser hesitated to accuse the royalists of having done the distardly act although it hinted that of course it wasn’t unlikely that it was a royalist plot. This morning a private of company E writes a letter to the Advertiser in which he says: “Filth again reigns supreme in the kitchen. It was owing to nothing else that the supposed attempted poisoning was due.” This “solution” of the “plot” is not very nice to the fastidious Advertiser man but it ought to be a lesson to him to give a wide berth in the future to the rumors which he claims are floating in the air, read the HOLOMUA, study its news and be wise. DID Mr. D. B. Smith wear his royal decoration when he was nominated last night by the league?

ANOTHER “pillar” of annexation gone! IT is said that showman Thurston has a trick mule at the Hawaiian exhibit. Probably RoweII’s. JOSEPH Emerson who has a local reputation as one who desires to take the entire country of the Hawaiians away from them in one "fell swoop” has been detailed by the P. G’s to arbitrate some land rights on Molokai which the P. G’s must have. WE are surprised that the Advertiser didn’t get its deadly work in on the balloting business. We expected that it would have suggested it done on the same plan as it used to when there was a vote taken for the best base-ball player. What a pile of money the ’Tiser has lost by neglecting this opportunity. THE appointees of the P. G., fill their billets and are walking proofs of the depravity, corruption and inability of a government which pretended to show to the world all the super-natural qualities supposed to be vested in the American (!1) descendants of the holy flock. The Advertiser which always becomes so eloquent wheevern it can find a grievance against the Tramway Company and Mr. Paine, should send a man up to King street to watch the starting of an omnibus which travels towards Kalihi. The Advertiser man couldn’t wish for any better exhibition of cruelty to animals, The senior captain who by the way is familiar with dumb animals might come around too and get “a case,” SERENO Bishop who was fortunate (?) enough to become a correspondent of the United Press— though the good offices of Mr. Thurston abuses the Hawaiian people in a most unheard of manner We ask our readers to compare Mr. Bishop’s expressions in the Independent which we published a few days ago with his utterances from 1888 which will be found in a note of reference in James Schouler’s article appearing today in our supplement.—We shall devote a little more space to the “reverend” party in a coming issue. How long, O Lord, how long? How long will the covert insults of the Advertiser to the commander and officers of the American navy stationed here, be allowed to continue unrebuked? In this morning’s issue of the Advertiser in connection with a fake story of the “Royalists expected troops ashore yesterday,” the writer closes his canard with an insult to the boys in blue by saying: “The most probable explanation (why the U. S. troops did not come) seems to be the inclemency of the weather. The Admiral was afraid the gallant tars would “get their feet wet."
