PARDON THEM.

We are glad to see that the Ad.
vertiser takes fair and manly stand
in regard to the granting OF per-
mission to G. W. Ashford and other
'banished" men to return to the
islands. Our contemporary makes
mistake, however, when it states
that the political prisoners OF 1896
have been pardoned. Such is not
the case. The men are at liberty on
parole. 1t means that the Govern
ment can seize them and throw them
into Jail at its own sweet will, and
that they are deprived OF their civil
rights. We think that the moment
has come, when full free pardon
should be granted to all those who
were mixed up in the unfortunate
affair Of 1885, We believe that such
a step would be a wise move in the
effort Of harmonizing the different
parties here. To be deprived of
civil rights is hardship to many of
the men who have no other country
than Hawaii To have heavy fine
hanging over their heads is worse
yet. H. prevents them from going
into business, from obtaining prop
erty by purchase or inheritance; aud
we certainly think that the Govern.
ment can afford to lift the ban
which now hampers the misguided
men. AL OF them have behaved ex.
cellently since they were granted a
conditional" pardon, and they have
been sufficiently punished for their
youthful folly. We have been told
that the Government is willing to
recommend full pardon, if the
men will take the oath to the Re-
public. We think the condition is
reasonable aud fair, and we do not
doubt that the sensible prisoners
will readily swear allegiance to the
Government which is the de .facto
Govern ment, the laws OF which they
obey aud to which they pay their
taxes. We hope that the matter
will be brought up at the next meet
ing of the Council OF State and be
favorably enter tanned by the wise
men of that body.
