CORRESPONDENCE.

[We do not hoId ourselves responsihle for the opinions or the utterances of our correspondents EDITOR HOLOMUA: What sort of a blizzard has struck poor old Prof. Alexander since his arrivai at Washington? Here is a man onee supposed to be as harmlesss and innoeeni as a lamb—picked up and buudled off to Washington, to keep conpany with such characters as Thurston, 0leson & Co., —and what has been the consequence? The old Professor we onee knew is no more—as judging by his long riff-raff of crooked "surveying" extending throngh numerous 'Tisers—the old Professor can now out lie old Sinbad the sailor, and for temper, be ean equal any disappointed. vicious old fish-fag. in existence. Perhape the old man has been imbibing too freely of Washington eye-openers,

whieh will generally rattle blazes out of tbe weak-minded, and may in a measure account for his strange actions. What a sin, to send that poor unsophisticated old man so far awav from hooe. GILES SCROGGINS Honolulu, Mar. 2, 1S94. EDITOR HOLOMUA: We have often wondered how

it was, that the good Christian ladies of Central Union Church were so qniet, at the time that many of onr leading and most respectable citizens whose names appeared in the San Francisco papers, that were to be mnrJeretl by hired assasins, because of their staunch loyality to the independence of Hawaii nei. Also Her Majesty, during the last year. has many times been threatened witb assassination. The independence of Hawaii is dear to them. They love its people, its mountains, its valleys, its sunsbine, its oeean, and they would die to prove tbat “Iove. " Oh! how pretty. Another tbing, how ean those good ladies keep so qniet when nnmerons kegs of intoxicating beer are dealt out to those poor soldiers who have many times laid down their valuable lives for the protection of that church and its inmates. It

should be remembered, that those unfortunate men are in a strange land, far away from their homes and the protectiug care of their mothers. Those men, before they enlisted, may have been good temperauce and Christian men but now through the temptation of the first fatal glass, they may become drunkards. What a shame! IIow selfish, wicked and blind some people appear to be, when the objective point aimed at,, is simply pelf and power. Also what an unrighteous example to set before the young innocents of Sunday Schools. When, 0 Lord, will these would-be reformers here, learn to practice a little of the reforming among themselves? Absalom. March 3. 1894. Two men who decided at the iast moment to take passage in the steerage of the steamer Australia for the coast at noon today are now, to make a ‘fake’ sensation for the benefil of some Sunday gossipers. to have been deported!
