which every barefooted native boy
who could get away from home
took part
The idea struck the humorist at
Emma Hall while the band was
concertizing for the benefit of the
residents of Cape Horn, and at
once the crowd composed of native
boys and women were informed
that torchlight parade would start
from the Bell Tower, and would
they join in. The boys said "suren
and the women agreed to stand on
the sidewalk and act as the audi
ence. The crowd then started for
the meeting place.
About 8 o'clock the procession
started for somewhere. Many
thought they were going down to
the wharf to make holes in the
water, but no such luck was in
store for them, and when last seen
the crowd headed by the band
was on its way in search
of members of the Cabinet to
commend the Marshals course, it
is supposed, as their exact rea-
son for making night hideOus
could not be ascertained. Mr..
Kane, one of the leaders of the
mob, in response to question,
said he did not know what it was
all about, and admitted that the
Marshal was the cause of the
gathering. This is fact.
The alleged procession was COM
posed of three parts: The advance
guard, several of whom appear now
and then in the Police Court for
infractions of the law; then came
some very raw and hungry
looking recruits, known to
the law as minors; the rear
guard had the usual position, and
consisted of several bum politicians
and Government clerks and spies.
Noble Paul and Little Ned"
must feel proud of their friends.
AT THE HOTEL.
The procession finally wound up
at the Hotel, where speech-making
was INDUCED in.
Mr.. J. K. Kahookano, on arrival
at the Hotel grounds, dismounted
from his horse and addressed the
people in Hawaiian. Hon. J. K.
Kaunamano followed him, Mr.. An
tone Rosa interpreting his remarks.
Hon. A. P. Peterson was the next
speaker. He said that the work
during the week had wholly I'M
nerved him. His party had fought
a grand fight and had won. They
had had to contend against the
sugar barons with their money and
influence, but had held them at
bay. There was certain clique,
representing about one-tenth Of the
voters, who said that they must
have their will. They claimed to
stand on constitutional principles,
but had no principle except to get
Office. We met them to-day, and
the resolution they brought failed
to pass. Upon a motion to adj
journ, which was not debatable,
they arose and tried to raise
a riot. They violated every
principle of parliamentary law in
their action, but tomorrow they
will bring in an appeal. We want
them to appeal; we want the
opinion of the Supreme Court on
the principle and the Constitution !;
we want to do what is right.
(Cheers) We are not trying to
raise riots we want to livein peace
and do what is right. applause. }
His Elk. Hon. Paul Neumann
came forward amidst deafening
cheers from the small boys and
women who had been drawn to-
gether by the lights and noise.
He said that he was going to take
a new departure. 1t is not usual
for new Cabinet to address the
public, but he wanted to make a
new departure. He said that to-
morrow those who would have
voted him out would come and tap
him on the shoulder, saying how
undignified it was for him to adj
dress torchlight procession, see
ing that he was a Cabinet officer.
Me advised them to put up decent
candidates on the 4th of October
and to vote for them and
make the victory complete.
They had boosted that they could
put out the Cabinet, but they did
not get the native votes they ex-
pected. With two exceptions, the
National Reform party and the
natives kept the Cabinet in. Dur
ing the short while l expect to stay
in, I will try to do my duty. [
don't know how long l may be in
there. I am glad of two principles
established in this country, and
they are: Observance of the law
and standing by the Constitution
as long as the Constitution
is the law and not repealed.
He believed that every member of
the Cabinet, after what they had
| gone through in the House, would
