The Hawaiian Consulate IN San Francisco.

The reports wliieh we receive in reg.ird to the manner in whieh the Hawaiian Consulate in S.m Francisco is couducted are not pleasant to peruse uor favorahle to the dignity of the Hawaiian goverumeut officially represented there. Mr. \Vilder wliom the government saw fit to app°int to that important olflce iu spite of his youth and inexpenenee appears to use the office as a reception room for voung fellows who without any regard to people doing business there imlnlge in political discnssions aml the most iusulting comnients on C leveland and his admiuistration. rhese expressions against the head of the governmeut to whieh the C onsnl-General is accredited havo been carried from bis office to ontsiders and have created cousiderable ama/ement and indignatiou. As Ioug as the representitive eonfines hiiuself to p a y i n g n e w s p a p e r s for publisbing his biograpbv and pictures nobody has anythiug to eomplain of. but it is hardly proper or condncive to the ndvautage of Hawaii to encourage or tolerate officials in thediplomatic or consu!ar services vilifving the he.id of a—so far at least — friendly power. In eouneelion herewith. we are informed that the banks in San !• rancisco were unwilling to cash a consular eheek ou the P.
