Hunting for Big Game.

—- — The b!oodtbirsty editor of Rats I is now no longer a«tisfied by at1 tach ; ng sculps of petty ofiicials to his warrior belt. Ho is tired of bringing down small g;uoe and conscious of his power, he now clamors for the offlcial heads of the representatives of the foreign powers. He lift his inky axe I and ehop; dowu rolls, Minister j Willis’ head into the waste basket j of tbe eanelum sanctorum iu tbe | great butcher’s office. Another : gleara iu the air and the descend- : iug pen (beg pardon, axe> axtinguishes the light of Great Britain's minister. A third att ; ck and I Japan bemoans the loss of Mr. 1 ; Fujiis, aud, wheu France and i Portugal have lost their repre- | sentatives the leader of Rats wipeshis gory( ?)pen while looki ng round for the heads of the refract- ; ory councillors, who will not have hira, evcn as a gift. It is sad i that the small success that Mr. Sraith has had in this village has corapletely turned his head. His j vanity has been overtrained by the ’ daquers who ho!d the bost iu the j Kobiuson's hall. He is a i mole, he thinks hiraself a inoun I tain. Like Balaara’s quadrnped he talks throngh his elongated , bead-appendix, and fills the governraent and the conimunity with disgust aod the diplomats with utter coutempt. Of course in spite of Mr. Sraitli’s bawling the govemment will reraain perfectly quiet and during its last brief raoments try rather to : conciliate than to, ori'end. The i governraent knows that none of , the foreign powers except Amer iea (and perhaps Bnssia throngh raisrepresentation) have ever recognized it as an existing (x>wer. i It knows that the raeu-of-war in ‘ our port belonging to Eugland i bavo never saluted the President of the Provisional Government, and that, he, consequentlv nover bas called on boarvl. Mr. I Dole is siraply known as minister of Foreigu AfTairs of a teraporary governraent. but snch government ; is not entitled to the coortesies or recognition &s an equal power nnder diplomatic rules and inter- ' national laws. The United States did recoguize tue P. G. as long &s ! Stevens deceived the American «draiaistration with his lying tongue. Since Minister Willia’ 1 I deiuand and the publication of I | President Cleveland's po!icy the i recognition of the P. G. as a ! ( *overeignty of eqaal sianding has i coasied, «nd lbe government is i now simply knowu as a govern-

But by all moans let Mr. Dole foi!ow't!ie &drice of bis do;r frien.l Mr. ani !et iiim notify the members of the coii»s (iiyJomatique that thcy mnst I leave. Jiothing wonhl sett!e the basiness here quicker. Mr. S!nit’i wonld perhaps lean t!:e representatives wonhln t go ’ n spite of Mr. Dole s dictarn.bat wonU simply go on board tbeir raeu-cf-wai an<l atten«l to Mr. Dole from there. The id : otic drirelling abont the Monroe doctrine is childish. Does Mr. Srnit‘i snppose for a ninment that 3Ir. Cleveland or anybody else wonkl interfere if a po\ver insuited bv the Hawaiian governraent nndevtqok to castigate th ' pigmy for it.s in\pndence? The Amoriean goveruraent may not allow the Hawaiian Islands to be eonqnered, and absorbed by any other power, bnt it wouhl certainly uot interfere if a wellmerited spanking was administer cd to its naughty protege. If the spanking took tho form of dam«ges perhaps Mr. Dole, and company woald deeply regret to | hHve atteraptod preserve the I ‘selfrespect’ of their government I asadvised by—well, by Rufs.

- - - ■ - It is amusing to read the eftu- | sions of “Gener;il” McArtbur of that obscure sheet the Troy Dudget whieh is quoted with great gusto in nearly every unuiber of! the “Advertiser.” The articles all show that the “General” has been innoculated wilh a severe dose of Juddisni duriug his brief visit to this Star-chamber-ruled country, aad is evidently eu- , deavoring to pay for the raission- ! ary hospitality accordtd to him by workiug oft’ his dose in the niost blatent and ignoraut jiugoisra. By the way who is “Geueral” McArthur? Is he a “General” of that forco so eouspicuous iu peaeo aud invisible iu war. the Miliiia? Oue would j neccessarily iufer so from the coxcombiy that stares fox-th so ! glaringly from the twaddle scratched with his pen, as no true soldier would be guilty of writing himself down an ass so persistently as this brave (?) j "General.” — Mr. \TvaS is uow appearing «s ; au advocate of further Portuguese Immigration and he thinks that ' he wouhl be the right mau to | send to Portugal where, he says he esily eoukl induce 10,000 peasauts to eonie to Hawaii. We have no doubt that Mr. Vivas ; woukl only be too happy to be enabled to see his country for the first time in his life at the expense of the Hawaiiau Govern- ; ment, bat we believe that the experimeut woukl be more than risky and the result futile. He has better coutinue expending hisenergy and time (at night?) j araong his countrymen at Palama 1 than bothering about those who are fortunate enough to have remaiued qniet in their homes in Europe. The gentlemanly and cultured instinct of the editor of the Advertiser is illustrated every raorning by the pnblication of a Iot of the most vulgar dog genel about the Queen. \Ye beg to skvte that the gentleman is a “stick’' j of Ihe'Hawaiian soil and that bis attompted “refining” in Gennanv J shown itself to be a eomplele failure. - Mr. J. Bowler is rece:vxng a great deal of attention from the ! S(ar and the AJcertisfr. The latter organ facetiously states that Mr. Bowler desixres t) bei eome a raember of tho secret league, whieh on account of the I raembers “polyglot” appearance ealla itself the “American” | League, while the Star solemnlv I says that Mr. Bowler won’t be ad- j mitted. The two organettes ean ; rest assnred tiat Mr. Bowler has never had the slightest ambition to heeome a merober or in any way connectod with Mr. Malli- ī i Ran’s society. The insinuation i »s virtually a libel on Mr. Bow- ] ler. Ashe is au American by 1

Is another eolumu we pnkii?li an interview with Captain Peter Lee. the well-known munager of t,ie Volc»uo House who has l>eeu on» ot the late victims of the * Advertiser” spite As a large nnmber of visitors f<>r the \oIeauo īiouse depart to-morrow it is r ight to plaee the managemcnt ! woikl-known HoteI in n pn>per light and assnre intending j visitors that the high reputation wh ieh the Hotel enjoys is solely dne to Mr. Lee aml that the nttacks of tne “Advertiser cliqae are onlv basetl upon personal motives. Thf. fnrions riding tlirough the town on mooulight evenings sboukl bo stopped. It is a surprise to see people of social standing and who onght to know better induging in chasing along the streets. plaeing themselves their horses und what is of more account passers-bv iu eminent dauger of broken necks. If theso wild ridesaredue tonncontrolab!e liverv-steeds tho Marshal sbould j reqnest the stable-owners to save the oats; if (what we b©lieve) the fault lies with the incapacitv of the wonid-be hors9mou, the Marslml shoald, well —nmke thern eat oats. don’t yer knowl Mr. Walter M.
