great measure to the circulation of
petitions expressing either directly
or indirectly unfsvorable sentiment
toward the new government. 1t
seems that some of the Waikiki
legal fraternity here declared that
either the presentation of the afore-
mentioned documents for signatures,
or something in their context could
be construed as reasonable under
the new law. Hence the sud
den quietus on the enthusiasm Of
the petition notaries. However, ex-
ception should be mentioned in re-
gard to Mr.. Cornwell who has prob
ably had better legal advice.
1t is rumored during last week
that the petitions were to some ex-
tent popular in Wailuku and Spreck-
elsville, meeting with more success
than that in the possession OF Rev. j.
Kamakele which could exhibit but
single signature when last seen.
1t is noted that the face values OF
January salaries for the first time in
several months have blen paid in
gold, and that election ana other
old accounts have been promptly
and legally cancelled. Moreover
affairs are moving on so quietly and
serenely,-a slight touch of anxiety
here and there about the future, but
nothing more,-that it is possible
the prophesy of certain prominent
Maui citizen will be verified: If the
Provisional Government continues to
run on for three months as satisfac-
torily as at present, that both native
and foreigner alike will desire no
change ofrule.
No case of refusal on the part of
Government employees to swear
allegiance has been reported; on the
con rary the books are filling up and
the oath blanks running short. No
one can blame the native for not
liking the change, still when ap-
preached on the subject, the general
an yer is perhaps this government
is better than the old;" that is, not
the slightest bitterness is exhibited
or expressed.
