f: OCTOBER l.
MIR. CARRIERS SPEECH.

We believe that Mr.. j. O. Car
ter is a sincere man. Moreover, he
is willing to take the consequences
of his own judgments, though
they may be disagreeable. We
respect him for this, though we
believe he is in great error. Why
he has differed so distinctly from
his American associates, in the
matter of politics, presents, we be-
lieve, a curious study in individual
traits, and might be an interesting
study in personal proclivities.
In his remarks to the natives,
last Friday evening, he made these
points: First, that the annexation
of Hawaii will make the Islands
liable to attack and devastation,
should the United States become
involved III any foreign war;
second, that the failure of annex
alton will not necessarily terminate
the Reciprocity Treaty; third,
that annexation will revolutionize
the labor conditions of this coun-
try: fourth. that it will bring up
many perplexing questions.
1t must be frankly admitted that
each one of these propositions con-
tains some truth, just as there is
some truth in the proposition that
these Islands are liable to be de
stroyeds by volcanic action. The
most dangerous errors contain some
truths. No doubt, in the event OF
war between the United States and
another nation, serious conse-
uuences5 to these Islands would be
involved. But, on the doctrine OF
chances, what are the probabilities
of such a war; We know of q
hotel built in front of the guns
of an American fortress, on
the written agreement that il
may be instantly destroyed, OF
blown up by the military forces
in case of war. So small is the
risk of loss, capitalists invested
nearly one million of dollars in
building the hotel.
We admit that in the event OF
annexation, there may be some
truth in Mr.. Carriers propositions.
No wise man can say otherwise.
But Mr.. Carter is, we believe, dis
ingenious, in not presenting to the
natives fully and frankly, the
other side of the case, that is, the
whole truth. Of course, he will
reply that he is not the only parti-
san In the community. That re
ply does not meet the case. Ht
puts himself forward as the frienC
and adviser of the natives. II
these critical times they need ;
good adviser. 1t is their misfor
tune that they either refuse goo(
advice, or follow bad advice from
inclination.

The vital question here is that
of stability, the permanence of
government under the admirable
laws which have secured peace and
justice to all, and especially to the
Hawaiians. They are the help
less ones, the weakest of the races
living on these Islands. They adj
NIT it frankly enough. The evolu-
ton of trade has put them between
the upper and the neither mill
stone, just as all human beings are
liable to be forced between the
same ugly stones. How can they
be protected! This is the serious
question which Mr.. Carter should
have answered. He, like the ma
jority of men, may be in political
matters, quite willing to sit on a
log, and drift with the current,
and so advise the natives. But
when he undertakes to give them
positive advice, it involves him in
grave responsibility. The world is
full of unutterable suffering, com
ing out of bad advice, and Mr..
Carter perhaps, does not realize
the serious predicament of the ma
tives.

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

During the municipal campaign The
Herald has repeatedly drawn attention
to the necessity for party responsibility
in the various branches of government,
municipal as well as state and national.
giving the reasons therefor 1t is a fit
time TO again cali attention to the ne
cessity for party responsibility. and no.
where have we seen the reason for it
better stated than in an article in Gun
tons Magazine for October Here are
some of them:
The abolition Of parties in municipal
government is the reverse of real re-
form. What is needed is more party re
sponsihility, not less. Party RESPONSE
bility should be EXTENDED to the remot-
est corner Of local affairs National
parties would then be held responsible,
not merely for their attitude on the
tariff or finance, but also for the atti-
tude OF the party toward Industrial
state legislation. and on local questions
[ of education, sanitary improvement,
housing of the poor and all economic
and socia! questions that reach right
/ down into the daily life of the people.
Every effort to segregate local from
state and national politics tends to re-
lieve party leaders from the real re-
sponsibility of party policy. If national
parties were held responsible for the
conduct o. their followers down tbs
whole line into the smallest school dis
trict it would become politically neces-
sary for the national leaders TO use
their influence for wise policy in the
most remote local districts With such
a theory and practice of party influence
it would be impossible for president
to be popular in Washington when his
party is preventing education and sup

or using injunctions against strikers
and blacklisting, and otherwise coercing
laborers in the north. II the national
party orofessed to be in favor of per-
sonal freedom. il would be held respon-
sible Cor the attitude of its followers
toward personal freedom, Just as much
in the remote localities as on the floor
of congress. If the national party pro-
fessed to favor social improvement. it
would then be held responsible as much
for good municipal government as for
wise tariff laws. Under this view Of
party responsibility the national Demo-
cratic party would have been held re-
sponsible for Tammany's city govern
, ment during the last 20 years.
A Darty's fitness for administering
the affairs of government can be tested

IN OGDEN,

The Democratic campaign in Ogden
has been an interesting and spirited
one. In the convention that nominated
Mr.. John Boyle for mayor there were
thar spirit and animation which all
ways characterize large assemblages of
earnest men who are interested in a
common cause and who are anxious
that those whom they believe to be
best fitted to further that cause shall
be selected. When convention has
made its nominations it's candidates
should be supported by members of the
party, and especially by those who
participated in the convention; they
are in a peculiar sense bound to do so
as a matter of honor. OF course, no
member of a party or convention is
bound to support any candidate whose
nomination was procured by anything
resembling fraud.
There were some things about the
Ogden convention that cannot be COM
mended and should not be repeated,
and most probably will not be, but
that convention was the regular Dem
ocratic convention and its nominees
are the regular party candidates and
should have the support of all mem
bers of the party. And the ticket itself
is very good one. Mr.. Boyle is de-
cidedly the best man for mayor of all
the candidates; and the balance of the
Democratic nominees are worthy of
the confidence and support of Demo-
crafts and voters generally
1t would be a matter of much regret
should the disagreements and disap-
pointments of the convention be car
ried into the election; the effect on the
party might be disastrous, and if it
was it. would be carried into future
campaigns. The Democrats of Ogden
should all work to secure the election
of the ticket and to make Ogden Dem
ocratie. To accomplish this there must
be no division of forces.
The Democrats of Ogden have put in
their platform a declaration in favor
Of free silver. and this should draw &c
the candidates of their party the sup
