CORRESPONDENCE.

[We do not Lold ourselve» rospousibl» for the opmious or tUe uUenmoe» of our ; correspondeats.] Epitor Holo.mua: In au editorial paragraph in | yesterduy moruing’s Advertiaer is ; the stateraent, that Mr. Gluie, ! “h is tnken the oath of allegiance 1 to tliis governraent, and is to all intents and purposes a Hawai.an 1 citizen.” The glass-eyed writer i of that stateraent fails to mention ■ however, whieh oath Mr. GIade : has taken. He does not say - whether, it was the oath to * sap}>ort and bear true allegiance to the p. g. governmeut, and to oppose any atteropt to re-estib-lish monarchical governraent on the Hawaiiau lsluuds,” or, tbe usual and Constitutioual oath that is admiuistered to foreignars on becoming natnralized citiz'?ns of the Hawaiian Kingdora. whieh reads as foIlows; , “The undersigned. a uative of , lately resuiing in , ooing duly sworn. upon hisoath. decl»res that, he wiil support he Constitution and iaws of tbe Ila- ' waiiau Islands. and bear trne allegiance to His (orHer)Majesty i i , tt»e Kiug |or Queen).'’ , If Mr. Glade took the trst i

oath. he is not —a«cording to ;he . dictum of learned ( ? ) W. t>. Smith ' —a Hawaiian cilizen. lf he ha$ ! takeu the latter oath, is it poaai-: 1 ! ble for him k> bear allegiancc to I < tbe p. g. witbont makmg him:e!f t a traitor. and a couspirator i agaiost the Constitotiocal Gorerument of the Hawaiian Kiagdom? He is alreadv a reroIuti uist, but then, wheu tbat ōccarr)d f j he was h Germsn subject. nnd . t was representiug tbe German ! 3 £mpire in tbis £ingdom, iu ;» ihe capacity ot Consul. lf Mr. i L #

. G!*de h&s not taken either of; [ j tbose oaths. then, what oath was i adraiaistered to him on the llth 1 day of May 1801, the day, on wb;ch te heeome a nataralize<l 1 , citizen of the Hawaiian Island«' Perha{*>s the glas*-eyed writer of i the P. C. A. editor ais will have the tindne>s to state whieh oath Mr. Glade did take. The mere form of swearing allegiance to a i revo!ntionary government does; not make Glade a Hawaiian citizcn. The H twaiians li»ve no nse for sach characters. lf the real tmth was known. the re«s< n for this stulden change of citizenship was for tbe parpose of evading military daty. whieh duty he wonld most hkeh be liahle to be 1 called npon to perform en retnrn to his • fatherland.” It is to be espected, in fact it is Li"hlv i robable, tbat Mr. G ade O • ' wiil not be received by the Ger- ' man o5cials. either as a Hawaiian s ibject oras the diplomatic representative of a revolationary governinent w hieh ia not recog-; nized ciplomatically, by their own govsrnment. A weli des?-rved snubbing will, no doubt, be his; dessert. On ths 16th of January, 1893,1 Mr. Heinrich F. Glade was representing the Empires of Germany | and Austro-Huugary in the ea-! pacity of Cousul, ho beingi uccredited to tbe Sovereign ofi the Hawaiian Kingdom. On tbat day Mr. Glade—he had uot previoush’ resigned from his olliuial functions, —attended a political and revoIutionary mass meeting. He then and there lent bis aid to a revolutionary movement, not only bv his presence, but in a speech speaking derogatory o{ the Queen of Hawaii, be secomled a motion to adoj)t a set of resolutions denouncing the sovereigu aud the guverument to whom he was accredited. This is the man, who is uow called upou b\' the iinraaculato p. g. to represent tbe Hawaiian Nalion at the Court of a largo European Empire in a Diplomatic capacity, and the p. g. have the folly to believe that he will be received and recognized as such. All the fools are not Je; d yet. The glass-eyed> writer also says of this latest misrepresentation, “He will represeut Hawaii with zeal and fidelity in his native lanel. as he has warmly espoused her cause while here,” and this is written | : of a nan whose actions in Janoarv 1893, “damned him” in the miuds of all right thiuking 1 people ;n this Kingdom. All that | ean be said is, “God keep Hawaii.” What a position the unfortunate gentleman will ba iu, wheu ho finds that he is not recognized by the German Goverument and , his hopes blasted. And as a crownirg act to his imbecilitic 1 coarse he may be arrested for 1 attempting to become a citizen of ' a foreign country while holding a Royal Comtnission. Sic transit 'jloria mundi.
