TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The usn.il ontn»fres in whieh oar so-call« (l honest &nd stnble govemnjent apparently revels are comraitte<l day after day. The latest instance wliieh has eome t<> our notiee the cincelling of the coinmission hehl by Mr. 3. W. Luninp as Xotaiy Publ»c. )j r ] • :s wo understand a firra snppo v ter of constitutional governioent an<l he has undoubtedly been a thorn— and a pretty pricky one — in the eyes of the P. O.— ()n the 21 inst. he received the following letter signed bv Mr. Hassinger tl»e chief eleik of the Interior on behalf of thut immaeulaie pf<litical freak who is termed amiuister m the cabinet of Mr. Dble. J. IV. Luning Esq. Honolulu, Sir: —I am directed by His Excellency the Minister of the lnterior to iuform you, that your commissiou as a Notary Pnblic for the lsland of Oahu has been this day caucelled. I have the honor, To be Your obed't serv t, J. A. Hassixgek, Chief Clerk, lut. Dep’t. So writes the ouly Hassinger on behalf of Miuister (Great 8cott!!) King, he being presumably unahle to write anything aud the commission of Mr. Luuing as Notarv l’uhlie apjiarentlv iscancelled, although, uo olheial anuouncement has beeu raade of the fact. Mr. Lnning who by the way doesu’t care a cent for the eoiumission or its cancellatiou disliked the arbitrarv raanner in whieh the unjust aml unwarranted actiou agaiust him was eommitted and he instructed his attorney to writo an acknowledgment of the iusult to Minister King. Subseqnently the followine letter was sont to 3Ir. J. A. Kiug on Novembor the ‘2*2nd. Presumably, His Excellency is snfficientlv educated to reaiLthe English of it. Chas. Creighton. Attorney-at-law. Honolulu, H. 1. Nov. 2*2,1893. Mr. J. A. King. Sir. —Mr. J. W. Luning. my client has hauded me a letter froiu your clerk Hassinger iu whieh the information is eonveyed that Mr. Luning’s- eommission as Notary Puhlie has been cauce!led. Your actions aro extreraely autocratic especially wheu no reasous are assigued for said removal. While ackuowledging that the law invests the Minister of Iuterior with the right to eaneel a Notary's commission yot I elaiui lh.it this right caunut bo nsed in such an arbitrary manuer as you have seen fit to do in this instanoe. Please advise me of your roasons. Yours trnly. Charles Crkightcx. ,

Mr. Luning or Mr. Creighton have of conrse so f»r seen no re>pon>e to the above poblished letter aud the <l:>missal c<f Mr. Lnning will simply go ou record, ■ as another of the outrageous. \ corrupt, and indepensible | of onr immaculate and highly respectable {?) government. As far as Mr. Luning is ooncerned we need only assure hira that he will very shortly be a Notary while Mr. J. A. King will be —well where he belongs and | onght to be. The star is re«lly gotting to l»e a hopelessly black-guarding sheet a while ago the Q leeu was rt viled because she was sued f or a debt whieh Holy Willie Hall claimcd was due to his firm. The Queen from whom the Provisioual Government under the paternal protection of J. L. Stevens, and under the management of such a sjiecimen of humanity, as O. Smitb has stolen and robbed evervthing whieh constitutionaly was hers, raised sufficient money ou her real estate with whieh she j>aid every cent owed by her. She is now being abused and black-guarded by the Star, because sheactedasanhonest debtor aad liquidated her debts, aud the whole tenor of the mortgage on whieh she houored the money ueeded, is published in full by tho ex-McGrewsome sheet. The publication of that mortgage doesn t hurt the Queen one bit. But if we should sink ourselves to the same low level as tho organ of the annexation club now stands on, we might make some extrafcts frora the books of tho registrar of conveyances—there are no fees to be paid now thanks to the Star aud the clever miuister of the Interior—whieh bo of sonie interest to the people who yet believe iu the solvency of the individual members of the P. G. How wonhl this do for a heading: Saitiuel M. Damon’sdebts. Tke P. G. Minister of Pinanee mortgagedto His ■ l friends.'’ Startling disclosures from the Registrar s book or we raight spare a eolumu to explain: Where is W. O. tSmith finaucially? The Attorney-General hasu't got a bean. Disclosuros frora Mr. Thrum’s bibles or we the Advisoiy Council aml put a price on Emmeluth’s pine-apples and tin-tools —all accordiug to the Registrar’s books —but we prefer not to fo!low the example of the professional black-maiier whom Mr. Emmeluth and others jray whenever Satunlay comes around aud we shall therefore reserve our spuee for better purj>oses than for the copying ofi' of the boo k s in the office of records in the Hawaiian Kingdom.
