II the voters OF Honolulu today desire
a full investigation Of the acts Of the Gov
ernment during the past two years they
viii vote the independent ticket What a
poor team the government ticket presents.
Mr.. kaulukOu. full OF windy rhetoric.
whose stentorian lungs have been called
into play 10 shout telectioneering addresses,
but who will make very poor statesman.
Should this gentleman he elected, we may
look for a lengthy session, he Will howl,
shout aud gesticulate in the House. to the
0lHr Of all who are desirOus OF getting
through the business OF the country quick
". Mr. John T. Baker, known TO the Ho-
nolI.lu public a the brother of the nominal
author Of a silly pamphlet which he did
not write q man full Of vanity, who
knowing but a smattering thinks he knows
everything Mr. Lilikalani lays his claim
to Legislative honors as the father of the
liquor bill and the author Of the $1,000
900 loan act not that he was the author
Of either Of these measures. but he likes to
put the lions skin over his own but
ike the celebrated animal in the fable, he
cannot hide those melodious tones which
betray him 50 thoroughly Mr.. hcau Is a
hard working man We believe. but that in
itself. without other qualifications. does
not constitute a claim for representing
the intelligence, commercial ability and
wealth Of the capital.

at the men that are put forward on the In
dependent ticket.
Mr. J. .. Carter, lkoo haGkHl who heads
the ticket has the confidence OF the whole

ponents cannot find thing to cayil at, a
Hawaiian born. d man whose record Is be
fore the public. since his earliest days Of
manhood. d tried man in official work. he
Is the man we need. and we hope to see
his name at the head Of the poll.
Mr. j. L hawalnui has shown himself
a fearless exponent Of wrong doing IN
official high places, he has suffered for his
freedom Of speech; he has been unjustly
uusted from the Priyy Council and from
the Board OF Education. because he, a Ha,
waiian dared to say home truths, anG we
may expect the same fearlessness of speech
and examination when he reaches, as We
hope he will do. the Legislative Chamber.
Mr. halaukoa. Is an excellent speaker.
and l. an honest and upright man: he
commands influence and respect among
his own race and those Of other national,
tiles that are acquainted with him.
Lastly there Is A X. hunuiakea: an Ali.

q well known protege Of Queen Emma,
and on these grounds he Is a most accept
able candidate to all
The Government ticket can show no such
qualifications in the four acknowledged
candidates that it puts forward
The Independent Ticket combines men
Of broad views, Of varying interests Itis
no party clique. Religion forms no stun
bling block. PrOtestants and Roman
Catholics alike Will find their interests
supported by its members. The present
government may promise, and promise
