ACTION WANTED,

ed" was very sensible article of
yours, the pith of which seemed to
be, that we must begin to busy our
selves about good legislature at
the next elections. Now no good
results will be obtained-no more in
this matter than in any other--if no
proper preparations are made for the
political campaign.
Organization, as only some few
acknowledge, is the key of the situa-
ton. But organization about what,
for what, and with what? Organi-
cation about and for general, radi-
cal reform. Very good; but who
will formulate the tenets by which
all independent men can swear and
act2 Organization with what? What
are the elements that arc to be united
and who are the men who can unite
them and sway the flag around which
we are to cluster? The political
elements here are very disparate,
but as the causes of discomfort and
suffering are equally felt by all, they
can easily be blended and made to
work tremendously, if proper men
can be pointed out as leaders.
Leaders are, then, what is now most
wanted. Who they are, if any, no.
body seems TO know and nobody
seems to try and find out.
The BULLETIN some time ago con-
tanned the suggestion of four names
as suitable leaders. 1t is to be sup
posed that the gentlemen named did
not harmonic, as nothing came out
of the suggestion: at any rate, it is
to be regretted that this did not
bring out any other suggestions, and
as time is flying and something ought
to be done, shall venture to take
up the matter already begun by IA
Future Voter"
l will keep Mr.. Marques name ::
he is evidently one of the looming"
men, if he will accept to be con-
sidered as such, and he has shown
more craftsmanship in any one of his
papers on population than our pre-
sent Cabinet have done in whole
year of administration. To this
name, l will add Mr.. S. Wilder's,
about whom Mr.. Marques himself
lately wrote the complimentary
statement that he had been the best
of all Ministers of Interior ever pos
sessed by Hawaii and it can safely
be said that, in modest, unostenta-
tious way, he has done more for the
prosperity and development of this
country than the huge monopolist
ever will do.
Now, 1 will introduce Mr.. God
frey Brown, who showed last year
that he knew how to keep figures
straight even in the most cleverly
mixed up budgets, and that he would
not allow any tampering in the
financial department.
Then if l close with Mr.. Hart
wells name, to give the combination
enough knowledge of law to keep
everything correct, l shall be glad
to know of any objection that could
be raised against this suggestion, Or
if any better one could be proposed.
The only danger l might anticipate
would be that, from what is known
of the modest and retiring DISPOSE
ton of the tirst-named gentleman
and of the extensive occupations of
the second one, they might refuse
to sacrafice their time to the thank
less task of leading q weak, timid,
Heterogeneous opposition. At any
rate, let us go to work without loss
of time. Let us try to do some
thing and to find some men to lead
us, that is the only way of settling
down to business. One who is ready
for ACTION.
