THE HAWAIIAN FLAG.
Theories as to It's Origin and Sig
nifcance.

The origin of the Hawaiian flag is
yelled in obscurity. 1t may be that
the archives of the Foreign Office of
Great Britain contain memoranda of
the inventor, and assigned reasons for
the invention, but all that we know
of its history is very meagre.
In the saturday Magazine, 1885,
printed in London, appears the follow
ing:
"The national flag of the Islands
was given them many years ago by
the British government, accompanied
by an assurance that it would be re-
spected wherever the British flag was
acknowledged. 1t is an English jack
with eight or nine stripes of white,
red, and blue"
AS matter of fact the Hawaiian
flag consists of the Union jack and
eight stripes, the former the emblem
Of the British empire and the latter
semblance of the stripes of the Amer
lean flag, with an additional stripe of
blue, thus combining the three cardi-
nal colors of white, red, and blue.
By this arrangement the cOlors of
the flags of the principal nations of
the world are combined.
1t is thought by some that every
part of the flag has particular mean
ing and designedly inserted by the in
ventor. For instance, that each of
the eight stripes represents an island
in the group, there being but eight
inhabitable islands. That the tout
ensemble of the flag repre- sents the
manifold origin of the Anglo-Saxon
race, as of Germany, Denmark and
France. The cross of st. George is a
memorial of the discovery of the
group by the British circumnavigator
Captain Cook, and of the paternal
care of the islands expressed by that
Government in sending Vancouver
with so many essentials of life as
horses, cattle, etc.
The stripes are memorial of the
interest taken in the group by the
American people in civiliZing and
Outstanding the aboriginal inhabi-
tants.
The whole is device peculiarly rep
resentative of the Anglo Saxon race,
and at the same time so appropriate
for a banner for the only haven in
mid North Pacific where the ships of
those great maritime nations may find
a shelter.
Resident patriotic Americans of a
somewhat iconoclastic tendency how
ever, have in vain rendered designs
for a flag to supersede the old Hawai-
ian flag. Should the Provisional Gov
eminent accept any design for a new
flag it would be AN admission of guilt
mess of treason to the Government,
our contention being that the Queen
was guilty OF treason in her endeavor
to subvert the Constitution which she
had sworn to support, and was there
fore justly removed. The country still
is governed by the statute enacted
during the monarchy, and with the
exception of the replacement of a
! Queen by an Executive Council, af-

Dem Vote. Pop. Vote

#Boxes were stuffed i'm the primaries.
and admitted by the Democrats them
selves
MANY Populist votes thrown out in
the general election.
If we concede the Democrats as
many votes in these parishes as
they cast In the primaries, and re-
cognize only what they give the
Populists, they would have a ma
jority of $3.50, and a clear MAORI
ty in the district of $50, but when
it is known that the primary vote
was too large by being stuffed in
3 of these parishes, rs admitted
by Democrats, and proven by the
stuffed primary vote in the first
table Grant, Bienville and Web
ster) being so much larger than
their honest vote in the general
election, and that many Populist
votes were thrown out in the 5
parishes named in the last table,
and that many friends of the can
didate defeated in the Democratic
primaries (Judge Watkins) either
stayed at home, or voted for Mr..
Bailey Pop.) on Nov. 9th, no rea-

In another column appears the
valadictory of our former editor in
chief, Judge Nj. +. Machen. We
regret the circumstances which he
seems to believe justifies his
course. and hope that unless his
health is permanently disabled he
will not remain long out of the ed
itorial field, where lie is so sadly
needed by the cause Ofreform. AS
associate editor, we come next in
the line of succession, and upon us
will devOlve all the work heretofore
done by Judge Machen and our
self. We do not feel equal to
the task thus imposed upon us,
but all the time, energy and devO-
ton that we possess will be given
this paper, and with the hearty CO.
operation of our friends we expect
to make it a grand success.
We had the pleasure and the
experience CT establishing and ed
iting for nearly three years, the
first Populist paper (''The Com
rade") in this State or in the South, /,
and that experience will be a great
help in the work we are now be-
ginning.
This work requires of us some
sacrifices that many men have re-
fused to make when duty called
them. We must leave our home
where we received our first pOliti-
cal impressions and shaped our
course in life, where we have warm
friends who have bestowed upon
us many honOrs, and where we
must now sacrifice future ambition,
but the cause we have espOused
demands it and we would not he
true to those friends nor to our
selves, were we to refuse the sacri-
fee.
The LOUISIANA POPULIsT will
continue to advocate, with all the
earnestness that is in us, the prin-
ciples of, and the success of the
Peoples party-the coming party
of this and the next generation.
We shall endeavOr to make this
a State paper for our party and
having all the facilities which the
grand old city and parish of Match
itocbes can afford, and the will
power, we believe we shall succeed.
With an abiding confidence in
the ultimate triumph of right over
wrong, we are.

Above are the official returns of
the late election in this district.
There are several curious things
about these figures which will be
made plain during the contest al
ready inaugurated.
To say nothing about Rapides
parish casting an even 1000 more
votes than Caddo, larger parish,
nor that Z boxes Boyce, Wells,
Alexandria, Lamourie, Lecompte,
Forest Hill and Cheneyville) out
of the 25 in Rapides, cast 735 more
votes than the whole parish of
Caddo, nor that there are more than
1900 Populists in the 8 parishes of
DeSoto, Caddo and Bossier, where
we are returned 3O4, we will
compare the above table with the
Democratic vote in the primary
election held one month before the
general election.
This primary election was race
between the two wings of the
Democratic party, and not only
succeeded in drawing out the full
Democratic vote in the district,
but stuffed the boxes in Bienville,
Bossier, Caddo, Grant, Rapides
and Webster, and therefore the
primary vote represents the full
strength of the Democratic party
in the district, and more than its
strength in the ''stuffed" parishes.
The comparison will be made in
two tables; the first showing the

The Democratic vote as cast in
both primary and general elections
is shown in the first two columns,
and is about the same except in
Grant, Bienville and Webster,

larger vote there than in the gene

district gives the slightest Demo.

State, and that with a few POpu-
list papers and some good Organi-

carry that district easily. The
"bOys" in the 4th and 5th districts
should notice the difference be-
tween this vote where there is no
Populist paper in the district, and
the vote in theirs, where there were
four papers in one and three i'm the
other, and then they should send
