Uncle Sans Unknown Land.

Washington has her great unknown
land. like the interior of Africa The
country shut in by the Olympic Mountains,
which includes an area of about 1000
square miles, has never. to the positive
knowledge of old residents of the territory,
been trOdden by the foot of man. These
mountains rise from the level country.
within ten or fifteen miles of the Straits of
of San Juan de Fuca in the north. the
Pacific Ocean in the west. Hoods Canal in
the east, and the basin of Quinault Lake
in the south, and rising to the height of
5000 CT 5000 feet, shut In a vast unex-
plored area.
The Indians have never penetrated it,
for their traditions say that it is inhab-
tied by fierce tribe which none of the
coast tribes dared modest Though it is
improbable that such tribe could have
existed in this mountain country without
their presence becoming known to the
white men, no man has ever ascertained
that it did not exist White men. too.
have only vague accounts of any white
man having ever passed through this
country, for investigation of all the claims
of travellers has invariably proved that they
have only traversed its outer edges.
The most generally accepted theory in
regard to this country Is that to consist
of great valleys. stretching from the in
ward slopes of the mountains to a great
central basin. The theory is supported by
the fact that. although the country has
abundant rain. and clouds constantly hang
over the mountain tops, all the streams
flowing toward the four points are n
significant. and rise only on the outward
slopes Of the ranges, none appearing to
drain the great lakes shut in by the noun
tains. This fact appears to support the
theory that streams flowing from the inner
slopes Of the mountains feed a great in
terror lake. But what drains this lake?
1t must have an outlet somewhere. and
as the streams pouring from the mountains
rise in their outward slopes it must have
subterranean outlet to the ocean. the
straits. or the sound. There are great
discoveries in store for some of

WHY The OPPOSITION Is A REACTION
AIRY PARTY.

We speak OF the Opposition to the
Reform party as the ''Re-actionary
Party" first, because its leaders are the
very men who, until they were forcibly
stopped from doing SO, were running
the Government as a private machine,
who were part and parcel of the gang
which was making the name of the
country a by-word and bankrupting the
Treasury; and second, because OF their
principles, or rather their lack OF princi-
pies.
They have gotten off a lot OF clap-trap
in what they call their platform, but in
all their speeches and all their news
papers there is an absolute lack of refer
ence to the principles set forth in the
platform.
Mr.. Antoine Rosa, as President of the
Hui Kalaiaina, sounded the keynote OF
the campaign in his armory speech the
other night. 1t was Grace prejudice"
The Elele has for months been dinging
ltitc SdIS vi llS d HeNST-CtdS-
ing stream of bitterness concerning the
usurping H-a-o-l-e," the EMISSION
ary," and the down-trodden Hawaiian.
Mr.. Bush rings the changes on the
usurping foreigner and urges the Hawaii
ans to right their wrongs by treating the
haoles as the Samoans did the Germans.
MIR. Wilcox's sole capital is the race
prejudice which he has excited and is
still exciting.
In view of these facts, in view OF the
specific declaration made by Mr.. Rosa as
to the position OF himself and his socie.
ty, and knowing that these gentlemen
are the recognized leaders of the party,
we feel justified in designating the party
which they represent as re-actionary
party, even though there may be other
men on the ticket with them who do not
entertain such sentiments
Race prejudice is the one plank upon
which the Re-actionary orators and
newspaper writer's seek to win the com
ing election

PLEDGED AND HONEST CANDIDATES.

One of the organs of the party OF
abuse, the National Herald" glorifes
the pledged and honest candidates" OF
their faction. Let US see, another OF
their organs names the whole list. As
We have before remarked, many, indeed
most OF their candidates are we'll known
gentlemen who will not, if elected, con-
sent to become tools of retrogression
but when these organs parade the whole
ticket as pledged and honest" and at
the same time hurl inuendos and slurs
at the opposing candidates and the adj
ministration, it becomes necessary to
show up the hollowness of our neigh
boris professions. "Pledged and honest
candidates." Here they are: John +.
Bush; A. Kauhi A. Rosa, Ian ex-Min-
lister OF the notorious administration
when "waste" is a very gentle word for
the expenditure of public money!; R.W.
Wilcox; J. W. Kalua; W. H. Cum
mings. Their names are sufficient
pledge of what they are. And of the
others, j. S. Walker; j. T. Baker; J. K
Kaunamano;' D. Fl. Nahinu; J. n. Ka-
pahu; J. kamakele J. Nakaieka: E. L.
Kauai, and g. B. Palohau, have all
iency to that same administration which
did SO much to destroy Constitutional
government in the country and ruin the
public credit and national character
abroad. To hold up these gentlemen as
the proper persons to protect the true
interests Of the Hawaiian is, to pervert
the true meaning OF language, to say
that black is white, that filth is purity
And now it lies with those other gentle
men to show that their associating them
selves with men whose record is such, is
not merely for the purpose of using any
means to beat, anything to get it. How
about Bush's promise-u the Portuguese
would vote for him lin effect that he
would pay them s. per day. Perhaps he
would, bat he would not pay his own
beloved people any 81 per day. Yet he
is the apostle of equal rights, equal pay,
equal opportunities, equal rights and no
restriction OF Chinese, in fact equal any
thing if he can only get in. Let the So
called National Reform Party remember,
as the electors will not fail to do. that
they carry Bush, Wilcox and company
on their shoulders with all that that

IT Is automatically reported that Mr..
T. II. Lucas has made the statement that
r. J. Greene, one Of the Reform Noble
candidates, has boosted that he "was
the first man to kill kanaka on the 30th
of July"
The injurious effect to Mr.. Greene OF
such statement, especially among
large body of the native electors is mani
fest. 1t plays upon half healed wounds
and smouldering passions, and as poll
teal card will undoubtedly have part
at least of the desired effect.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
charge is false, Mr.. Greene having dis
tinctly stated to an interviewer that he
never made such remark, and, SO far
from indulging in the feelings attributed
to him, was very thankful when the day
in question was over, that he had not
been compelled to take human life at all.
This community simply remembers OF
Mr.. Greene, in connection with the late
insurrection, that though physically dis
abled, he was found in the very fore
front that day doing his duty as a good
citizen. He has made nothing out OF it
nor expects to, but certainly things have
come to a pretty pass if by reason OF
what he then did, he is to be just that
much worse off on election day in the
public regard than one who did little or
nothing on the occasion in question.
This statement of Mr.. Lucas will I'M
doubtedly tend to create the belief (cor-
rect or otherwise) among sympathizers
with the late disturbance, that he must
have been more or less favorable to that
movement, and therefore win their votes.
But he should learn that he cannot rouse
unjust prejudice among the natives
against rival candidates and make votes
for himself by such methods, without at
least the disapproval of those OF his own
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-01-20

supporters who regard Mr.. Greene's con-
duct on the day in question as no indica-
ton whatever OF hostility TO the natives,
but simply the response OF a good citizen
to the call OF public duty. all the more
commendable because it involved the
jeopardy OF his own life.
Mr.. Lucas should be the last one to
indulge in such immaterial and personal
remarks as the one attributed TO him, for
he himself, owes much to public forbear-
ance in this respect. We all remember
the unpleasant fact that It was firm in
which Mr.. Lucas was partner, which
spent the last few days before the 30th
Of June in barricading the Palace gates
when Tor aught men then knew, ii was
TO be themselves, their own friends and
relatives who We're destined TO beat their
lives out against those barricades in pro-
test against state OF affairs that had
become intolerable.
1t was probably the thrill OF disgust
that followed which led the Legislature
to throw out the claim OF this firm for
the services in question.
Two years have since passed and the
community with commendable good
nature towards Mr.. Lucas, which he evil
IDENTITY is not inclined to show to others,
has made no use OF these circumstances
| thus far against him.
1t is to be hoped that both sides will
show good sense enough to avoid Great
ing prejudice against any candidate on
either side because OF his support OF the
new order OF things either on the 30th OF
June or July.

IT Is a pleasure to turn from the fervid

forensic statements of little circular or

Bulletin OF the 10th inst. and attempts
