number of political factions, the
latter of whom must certainly NUM-
Der about so, comprising the three
principal parties, namely: (D Su-
perior Intellect, (2) All Fools, and
(3) Independent Parties. Thanks
to the law enforcing the secrecy of
the ballot, it has been found that
the first party enjoys membership
OF one, while the third party enjoys
membership of probably three
the rest being members of the All
Fools Party. Between these parties
the Independents enjoy the most
Of the fun, as they appear in the
role of disnterested spectators,
leaving the other parties TO do bat
tie amongst themselves. The first
party is quite active in its warfare,
and would undoubtedly carry of
the palm if some new life had not
been infused into some of the mem
bers of its most cordially hated ri
val, the All Fools Party, whose
platform guarantees to all perfect
liberty in speech and actions, in the
use of food and drink, liberty to all
to worship according TO their con-
sciences, equal rights with their
fellowmen, and the fullest enjoy
ment OF all the privileges pertaining
to citizenship; while the platform
of the first party is rather one
sided document, for all who are not
in accord with its views on religious
or prohibition questions, are to be
forthwith cast into the darkest dun
geon until they promise to repent
and live according to the laws of
this party. 1t also promises to. get
rid of its opponents by blackguard-
ing them or boycotting their bust
ness. Finally the party platform
promises to run out of Koloa all
those who should have-ah, L was
| going to say the manly courage
audacity to criticize the soundness
of this curious document the plat
form of the high and noble Superior
Intellect Party.
Not little excitement prevails,
caused by the disclosures of some
persons, carrying the proud inform
alton to the people of this place,
that they need not be ashamed of
Koloa, as it seems to keep up with
a progress that might be envied by
a much larger city, by Boosting of
possessing q well organised opium
ring.
However the greatest excitement
at present is caused by the notice OF
our Deputy Sheriff, who will, on
the Mikahala's next arrival from
Honolulu, seize all beer, wine OF
liquors. sent to this place, as being
against law according to new Act
lately passed. This official claims
that the law relating to the amount
of liquor, namely, ! gallon OF bee
or wine, or one quart Of ardent spi
rits, allowed to be kept on the pre-
misses where a business is carried
on, for which carrying on of sucl
business licence of the Govern
ment is required, does not apply tt
licensed dealers only, but to al
private parties as well, no matter
whether capitalist or laborer, judge
or policemen, doctor or quack
minister or inlidel, mechanic o.
bootblack. How this highly esteem
ed and popular official obtained thi
Interpretation of law, is q conun
drum that puzzles a great many
Some say that the high and nobl
Superior Intellect party must hav
allowed our Deputy Sheriff tn
gracious concession to inspect tn
new law with the help of this party

prove the unreliability of the latter

q chance to decide. q test case, in
volving the legal authority of OH
Deputy Sheriff to carry his orde
into execution.
Considerable complaints are hear
concerning the management of tn
Koloa Hospital. Although l hay
not, as yet, had chance to thor
oughly inquire into this matter,
must be nevertheless admitted tina
appearances seem to prove the jus
tice of the complaints. No on
ever thought of grumbling when tn
Government established with til
peoples money this institution, bu
what the taxpayers are complainin
1 about is that they should be CON
PEELED to pay for the services of
nurse or hospital steward or what

and incidentals TO himself and wifi,
: From information received it seen
that the hospital has had no inmate
for some time, while it is said Thu
only two persons ayailed themselv(
of its accommodations since its e.
