lSpeCi al 10 the ADVERTISER
A new election has been ordered to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of the member for South Hilo,
j. Nawahi, whose rapid flight to the
airy height of Cabinet position, his
strong futter to maintain it, was fol-
lowed by sudden decapitation, are
events of only few days ago. I'm
fortunately in the hurry Of the mo-
ment due attention has not been paid
to the election law and to the times
and sailings Of our Inter Island
steamers, and SO the Inspectors,
Judges Lyman and Hapai and j. p.
Sisson, have decided that an election
cannot be held on the 29th instant, as
candidates have not the requisite
time to file their application within
the IA days allowed by law.
Section AZ of the election law
reads mo person shall be permitted
to stand as a candidate for election,
unless he shall be so requested in
writing, signed by not less than
twenty five duly qualified electors of
the district, which request shall be
deposited with the Minister of the
Interior not less than fourteen days
before the day of election, etc"
Now, the Kinau leaving here on
the 18th inst, will not reach your
city before the 10Th, which day would
be the earliest'on which notices could
be filed with the Minister of the In
terror, so that it would be impossible
to comply with the law, and SO the
Inspectors declared that no election
could be held An election may be
necessary, but seems useless, as the
business should be finished before
one can be held.
What was our Chataugua class OF
the past several years having gradu,
ated most Of its members last year, has
turned into a very active reading
class of sixteen members who are
pursuing a course of old English
literature, Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales, Moore's Utopia, Spencer's
Fairie Queene, Bacon's Essays, Mil
toms Paradise Lost, Ben Jonson's
plays, etc. The interest displayed
and the work done are certainly
worthy of high commentator.

A pleasant sail around the bay in the

larger yacht, was present. Prepare
