THEY MEET
Allah Dole Calls His Con-
vention.

The Government building dis
played a sight. never to be for
gotten. The soldiers were absent,
the guns were out Of sight aud
even the tax-collector had hidden
himself. What was the occasionl
This question put forward by the
three Portuguese infants who had
gathered around the portals of
Kamehameha L. was answered
promptly by Captain Langley
and squad by the statement that
the Constitutional Coonven-
shion mates"
Indeed it did Escorted by
the ever-obligIng ushers. Has
singer, Potter and KeohokaloIe,
who so often under the Monarchy
ushered people along, represen-
tative of the HoLoMUA found his
way, and was placed in posi-
ton. overlooking the assembly of
the best, weaIthiest, and most
| intelligent citizens of Hawaii.
The aroma in the hall was
rather tainted with a strong
m xture of cheap paint The
whole affair had an aspect of
newness which WAS. to say the
least Objectionable to the kand-
alma. The hall was not crowded.
The usua assembly from the
Central Union church was there
and the female voters of the
W. c. [. U. were numerous.
FIVE IS Hawaiians were count
ed in the audience that greeted
the appearance of Dole. Joseph,
kalua, Baldwin, and company.
A number of commercial consuls
were present. Mr.. Willis and
Mr. Full represented the corps
diplomatic and brought with
them the officers of their
respective war-vessels. Great
Britain, France and Portugal
were not represented. The CON
bined' consul for Russia, Ger
many and Austria, appeared in
full dress and plug-hat. Evident
ly the burden of representing the
three greatest powers crushed
him. Mr.. Goo Kim and his
associate were present looking for
Chinese franchise they didn't
find it.
Among our local maguates were
especially conspicuous Ministers
Thurston and r W. Irwin who
both had chairs, if not the free
dom of the floor. The Supreme
Court appeared in dominoes mot
pink and looked very wise. The
Councillors all looked handsome
and most Of them responded to
the roll-call which was given by
DR.. Rodgers in most intelligi
BILE and graceful mannerand anus
ing to the spectators. Nearly all
the Councillors had good clothes
on and while Boeter and Castle
looked despairing the tailors look
ed pleased. Iosepa and Kalua wore
their "monarchicar' suits from
the last Legislature and Ten
ney didn't care a id
but appeared in a white long
Tenneys suit.
The reverend II. H. Parker
who in former days benefited
considerably by the patronage
of Queen Liliuokalani sacrificed
himself and prayed for the new
regime. His prayers, owing to
tax-suit against him by the
p. g,-were rather mixed. Sweet
and sour went together. In pray
ing for the Chief magistrate" of
Hawaii he did not commit him
self. 1t may be Dole, it
may be Judd, it may even
be Liliuokalani. The Rev.
Parker prays for anybody in
power and for anybody who
digs" He doesn't pray for the
tax-assessor.
Dole then had the freedom of
the floor" He opened his voice
and talked to his people. The
People weren't there though.
What he said can be read in
another column. He talked to
the hearts but he didn't believe
one word himself of what be was
saying. His finishing touch in
repeating an old alamanach story
worthy OF Paul Neumann was
received with appl use. by the
