In His True Colors. CHIEF JUSTICE JUDD Writes a Letter.

THE TE0Y BUDGET PUBLI5HSSIT THE CHIEF JUSTICE AS A P0L1TICIAN The following letter from Chief Justice Jadd whieh appear3 in the Troy Budget finaliy shows that gentleman in his trne light. It has heretofore heen a puzzle, where he stood in the present disturbed state of affairs, and he has so far successfully avoided coming out openly. We need no commenton his letter, but shall restrain ourselvesto remarking that he ought to be complimented for using official letterheads—paid f°r by tne tax payers—even when he attends to his private correspondence from Kualoa; Depabtment of the Judiciary, Kualoa, H I. Aug. 8, 1893.— Oolonel C. L. Mac Arthcr— Dear Colonel: —I am taking a rest of a few weeks at a country seat some twenty miles from Honolulu, beyond the pali. and while here have read the file of the Troy BuDGETyouso kindly sent to me. I have enjoyed their reading so mueh that Iam impolled to write you to express my thanks and appreciation of the f«vor. Tbe Bddoet is evidently a live paper, sound apparently on all important questionfl, and is not filled up with the murders and crimes whieh occur all over the United States, and whieh so nuny roaders gloat over. I especiaily enjoyed your racy letters on Hawaiian afiairs. With •

——— • II l«U a few unimpqrtant mUtakes, due undoubtedly to ®rroneous inforraation, yoor letters are very correot, not only in tbeir descriptions of Hawaiian scenery bnt in the estimate you plaee upon our politioal importance te the United States and yonr diagnosis of our situation. I hope Nordboff and Spreckels hare not done us mueh hann. Tou saw and becsme aoqnainted with the pewona who were prominent in the morement to rid these islands ofthe incubus of monarchy, and favored annexation io the United States in order to give us stability of government and thns invite and ratain eapiial here to develop onr

yet untoucbed resonrces, You fonnd them, .1 tbink. to be men who were honest, sincere aud patriotic, noi seeking their own bot the welfare of the entire community. Nordhoff knew us equally well—bnt to carry ont his preconeeired opposition to annexation, distorted everything to our disadrantage. Congyeas met yesterday. I am extremely anxioos that the ailver menaee be . disposed of snmmarily without compromise or eoneuUana. and that tben tbe Coagress give some conaideraiion to liiila Hawaii. Hava we not been in saspense long enougb? The ProvisioEal Govemmeni haa put Hawaiian affiūiB in better ahape ihan they have been in for raany long years. ī« bavo no idee that ib* Preeident ot the United States will zestore bni nniil some authontative aeiion is taken by the Prandant, whieh ahowa

that he has no soch design, manv timid souls. especialiy among the Hawaiians. fear to £avor annexation, lest is £ail, the Qneen be restored, and then vengeance be visited upou them! Iam in this beautiful plaee, Kualoa, with Mre. Jndd and seven ofmvchi!dren, my two eldest sons having recently gone East to enter Yale University. ***** Yours sincerely. A. F. Jldd.
