TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Tbe SUr last night is extremely worried. beoaose the Holomi'a gare away the insivle bnsiiiMB of the cuni(>rotoise now in conteraplation. Mr. lialoh —«o the Star «hvs. iloee not iike to rush into print—hut he ueverthele«s empbaticaliy ileniee that any ste(M have heeu taken whieh eouhl he con>true«l intu an atteiupt for a rompromise. We have to diri'er with the ‘acting i resident”—the aUorney of Mr. Claus Spreckels. Mr. Hafcoh, as wo admitted in our fonuer issne is as sbrewd and lon(;-headed as any man who is connected with anv pojitio*l party here, hut Mr. Hatcb eaunot hlort' us. Mr Hatch the *‘acting preaident’ and Mr. Spreckels’ attorney is mainly after eoiu—aml he gets most of it in his last capacity. Mr. Dole has returned. If be ia in such u conditiou in reganl to bealth as will euahle him to conduct the affairsof the country, ia to be seen. The man who took his plaee, and who really to-day is nt the head of the affairs of the conntiy, Mr. Francis Hatch, is virtuaily the abeet-anchor of the Provisii»ual Government, and if ]eft alone will carry the raemhers of it tbrongh the breakers ahead in a betfcer raanner than any of them erer ho]>cd for. 13ut it ahouhl never he forgotten that Mr Hatch first and foromost is the attorney of Cluus Spreckels. Mr. Hatch waa asked on several occasious to take a position in cahiuets nuder the monarchy. Mr. Sprecktds if we rememher rigbtly offered Mr. Hatch a s]>ecial rettiner if he wouhl take the office as Attorney-General. Mr. Hatch, uIthov:gh, the ohedient servant of King Spreckels resisted the teraptation of an e\tia thonsaud dollars, hnt when he thuught that Mr. J. L. Stevens had accomplished tho viie and oontomptihle steal of those littie lslHtids. ou whieh Mr. Hatcb and his family had fonnd a very profitablo ahiding plaoe theu he was ontv too willmg to heeome a pohiieian, aml to hasely desert the man who fee—d him. Mr. Dole retorned this morning afler a visit to bis •'roymlist‘* | frieuds on Hawail. Tbe Presi- t dent has e\hihited his nsual amouut • f Uot and geotIemaD)y feelmgs hy s)eepi(ig eating. and living with the tuen whom he injoied {>o)itica))y and financially. He was received with the ordtoary display of polieemen aml sol liers Mr. W. O Smith was no‘ in sight. We soppose that ti -* cooaixy is safe now. Where is Mr. Haleh? Tbat ‘'Uaplau’* Lomn Andrews woahi m*ke himaeH ohnoiious wa» to be o«pected and ihe HoLoaea pre ictcd wbat the

i reeolt wonid be of this latest | fruit of tbe family compact. \Ve j are now in receipt of eomma- ! nicmtions and of verhal eom- ; plainla against tbe actions of thia —the latest pet of Marshal Hitchcock. It seems that this i resigne«l bullock-driver from Makawao at ihe Kagle Hou.se. An old H*wsiian who arrive»l from Kauai Sunday morning drove m a haek to tbe plaee where his sister lives whieh hap)tens to he hehind the E tgle Hoo.se. He »rrivod barly in the mornicg. Some how or other the steaoiers do get in early. He ealled out to his friends and lo. and hehold, ont turned the Makawao bnllock-driver —now tbe Cbief Captain of HonoInln poliee. Seeing that the noise *rv>se fn>ra a nian on whona he could impose with the sanie in<lierierenee an<l insults as he nsed to do in Makawao on anv Goil-forsaken Chinaman. the ex-bollock-lassoer of Makawao, and the now rigLt bower of Mr. Hitchcock —when he looks the other way —immediately made an arrest. and jailed the nnfortunate kanaku for distarbiog the peaee of the nigbt. We snggest that the steamers enter Honolnln harbor at an honr when ‘*Chief Caj>tain” Andrews ‘‘is awake.’ And then \ve suggest to Marsbal Hitchcock to ship Mr. Andrews haek to Makawao. In Honolnln we don’t need him. A fnmily eompaei is good enough, but Doctor Av»drews on the Miowera (or rather not on her), Lorrin Audrews as Chief Capt«in of tlie Poliee, and Lorriu Andrews T. in Washington. are even more than our comnmnity ean stand.
