Ka Leo o ka Lahui, Volume II, Number 189, 8 May 1891 — ON DIT. [ARTICLE]

ON DIT.

That some of the Marshal's deputies are worse law breakers than those they are sent after to proecute. That Hilo's good people are no doubt enjoying a carnival of ungodliness im ported into the sedate town from the Gomorrah of the Pacific. That the egress from Oahu is being closely guarded by the Chief and his subordinates here, but how about the other islands. That Tommy has put in an appearance to satisfy his numerous inquiring friends who were beginning to get anxious that some underhanded work had been done to him to run him out of the country. Others may desire that, but Tom, ah, never. That since that yacht got copies of the Leo on board, showing how closely we were on her track, and how the flying squardron was being got ready for sea, under the command of some of our old sea Neptunes, she has deemed it discreet to disappear for awhile like the phantom "Dutchman." That an explanation will probably be asked by the Foreign Office here from the British Government in reference to the inexplicable conduct of a "bloody" little pirate flying the "Jack" by Jove. We think it is awful mean to add to England's difficulties with other nations by any demands from Hawaii nei, just at present.

That the Prince of Marshals has created havoc and consternation in the opinion circle and we hope in justice to the poor he then chinee, who is being punished for using the stuff which his enlightened and christian friend has been allowed to smuggle into the country and sell to him, that some of the opium pirates may be seen together with the victim of his avarice strutting the streets dressed a la Tripp. That the LEO would like to give the Advertiser credit for something, but as the columns of that sheet only show amatuer daubs of black and white, it cannot. That Honolulu is dull evenings for the want of Berger's Band. The Pedro and Poker loosers seem to feel the depression severely. That the steamer Kinau arrived at Hilo cuite early yesterday morning, and after Professor Berger and his boys had tooted their horns seven times, Hilo awoke from its slumbers, and as soon as it was found out that the srvage breast had received the soothing does, the royal party disembarked and received with a Japan ese salaam by the chief orepresentaties of the executive and the judiciary. That the entertainment given by her Majesty through the Premier at Waiaiae for the Masonic guests was a great suc cess, but that the masonic fraternity of Honolulu was very slimly represented. That Tommy will be found to-day, and as a further postponment would appear too glaringly barefaced we expect to see a lengthened trial inaugurated for the sake of eliciting, of course, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! That if the Marshal will send some one to the East end of Lanai he may make a haul.
