WHOSE HAND?
4 VERY QUEER ELECTION
PETITION.
Nawahis Thirty one PetitiOniue
Admirers All Write the
Same Hand.

The late Premier, now plain Mr..
Nawahi, was the only man who
got a petition in in time to stand
as candidate at the South Hilo
election; all other candidates, ac-
tual or potential, got left The
charge being made that the cleo
ton was purposely set so as to
shut out everybody but Nawahi,
the ADVERTISER detailed a reporter
to inquire into the facts.
The election proclamation was
issued on the 4th of November, and
the election set for the Goth. The
Kinau had already left (on the
1st), and she did not leave with
the election notices, etc, until the
18th, arriving at Hilo on the 18th,
and not reaching Honolulu again
until the 10Th, or ten days before
the election, four days too late for
candidates to apply.
When the reporter learned these
facts he scratched his head and
asked, how did his very late excel
lency get there then? Did he keep
petitions on cold storage, all ready
for emergencies? Had he been col
onizing Honolulu with a choice
band Of his stalwarts? The re-
porter inquired for Mr.. Nawahi's
petition, and one glance revealed
three things:
/. 1t was filed on the last avail
able day.
! 2. IT HAD NO DATE.
>. NAMES AND ALL, IT WAS ALL
IN THE SAME HANDWRITING II!
To borrow Mr. Nawahi's favorite
phrase, there is ''nigger in the
fence" here, and it is not hard t
smell him. The queer collocation o
dates, combined with the queer
qualities of this very queer peti
ton, are a broad hint that some
body has been trying to queer
Mr.. Nawahi's opponents. The
puzzle was too japanese for thu
ADVERTISER reporter, and he re
tired with the reflection that it
good thing to have friends.

Next Mondays Concert.

The organ concert to be given at
the Kaumakapili Church next
Monday evening, the anniversary
of Hawaiian Independence, by Mr..
Wray Taylor, Will have many fea-
lures. Those who will render vocal
music are Miss Eta \. Burgess,
the new music teacher at Kawaia-
hao Seminary, and Mr.. Sheldon
Painter, of England. There will be
an instrumental sextette, a piano
concerto with string instruments,
and organ solos. On this occasion
the church will be lit up for the
first time by electricity, three very
handsome electric light chandeliers
having recently been placed in the
building.

AT THE Y. NJ. G. A.
An Able Lecture By Mrs. Mary
NJ LeaVift.

An Able Lecture By Mrs. Mary
N Leavift.
= The lecture of Mrs. Mary Leavitt,
delivered at the Y. NJ. c. A. last
night, was fairly well attended,
though it deserved Il crowded
house. Mrs. Leavitt is favorably
known to Honolulu people, having
lectured here eight years ago.
Since that time, as previously, she
has labored unremittingly in the
service of the great cause to which
she has dedicated her life. Mrs.
Leavitt is a pleasing speaker, SIM
pie but forcible, and while she
avoids the excuses and exagger-
alton of statement into which so
many temperance lecturers fall,
she knows how to dignity her
theme with the earnestness which
BELTS the subject. The discourse
last night was aimed particularly
at the Light Wine and Beer bill,
now pending in the House. The
speaker does not think the mea-
sure will promote the cause Of
temperance and her views were
supported by some forcible argu
ments.
At the close of the address, DR.
Hyde, who presided during the
evening, expressed on behalf of the
audience its appreciation of The
clear, intelligent and impressive
manner in which the issue haC
been stated. A vote being take1
on the merits of the bill, all, with :
solitary exception, gave their voice
against it.

NOT YET COLLECTED.
All Error Corrected Before Harm
Was Done.

EDITOR THE CTIzEN:-Will you per-
init me to correct an impression made
by an article in Yesterdays CITIZEN,
which, though desirable eventually to
be created, is at the present moment cr-
roneous and possibly prcjudicial to the
interests of the subject referred to. You
say that "Mr. F. A. Sondlcy and Col.
John d. Cameron are now at work upon
a vast array of facts relative to the past
and present history of the county, which
they will arrange in order for publica-
ton"
Now this is premature, both in the
announcement of course of facts, not
yet collected, and such as are in the
hands of the committee subject to the
subsequent action to be taken during
the celebration of the Buncombe centen
ial. AS was stated few days ago in
the report published in TIE CITIZEN OF a
recent meeting of the historical commit
tee, Messrs. Sondley and Cameron were
appointed to prepare report to be read
on the occasion of the centennial embrac-
ing only an outline of what had been done
an the collection of the material for an am
pie history of Buncombc county.
In the report OF the meeting of the his
torical committee it was stated that
while much matter was in hand and
much Observation-Disclosures wasat-
tianahle, there still WAS much to be learn
cd and gathered; and therefore appeal
was made to the general public for adj
ditional material, such as may be found
in almost any of the old families of the
county. This appeal for what is yet
needed disprovcs at once your statement
that Mr.. Sondley and Col. Cameron are
already at work upon vast array OF
facts. When such facts are gathered as
no doubt the most valuable OF them
muss be by the time of the centennial
celebration, it will be in order to take
steps for the publication and permanent
preservation of that which is of so much
interest and of such incstimabe value to
the people of Buncombc county, and the
following extract from your article COW
ering the ground exactly and the sug.
gestons ought to he acted upon. You
say:
This will undoubtedly be most valuable
mattsr, and arrangements should be
perfected during the centennial meeting
for its publication in full in an abiding
form, for the qualification of the present
and the information of the future natives
of the county" ]. d. Cameron,
July 22nd.
