that CONTROVERSY.

EDITOR EVENING Bulletin
For this last week or two you and
your neighbor the Advertiser
have INDUCED in a controversy
which it seems to me is out of
place, and waste of time.
The Governor for this part of
the United States will be selected
without any pointers from you OF
the Government Organ" If the
truth Is known, one has already
been chosen to fill the post, so
that this haggling about your re-
spectivs candidates does not
amount "to a hill Of beaus." 1t
has, however, made clear one
thing, "we know now how the
land lies"
1t must be borne in mind,
President Mckinley has lots OF
friends who helped ito whoop her
(up" and place him in the Pres
| idential chair, and it goes with
out saying if one OF them wants
he position, he will get it, and
~ the position is lucrative one
[ have no doubt the President
would be only too happy to com
ply with his wishes.
If poor Hawaiian ia allowed
to put in his oar, 1 must certainly
say, 1 am one Of a good many
that agrees with you, as to your
choice, for l will say right here
Mr.. Sewall is away ahead of Mr.
Dole in our estimation.
If President Mckinley wants
to favor the Hawaiisns, 30 as il
the course of time the bitter feel
ing which lies deep in every ka-
naka's breast Caused by Dole snc
his rebels robbing them of thei
country he must appoint Gov,
ernor who did not have hand il
the robbing, in other words, ap,
point an outsider. No local mai
will ever, or can FIJI the bill salts
, factorily to us. That bitter feeling
could never be blotted out tim
i'self could not efface iD if Dol
) or any oher local man wer
appointed to the position.
Ii Mr.. Sewall or any outside
were appointed to the position
would have tendency TO amelioI

on, we would perhaps, little b

perhaps all for the best (althoug

. MORE LIBERAL FRANCHISE.

Taking the majority report Of
the Hawaiian Commission as g
whole it is generally satisfactory
to the people Of Hawaii. In the
matter of citizenship the commits.
sion has shown itself liberal
minded and no unnecessary bars
will be put before the native Ha-
waiians or foreigners who have
previously had the rights of Ha.
waiian naturalization. The natives
are taken in as a whole with no
questions asked. This is justice,
it is American.
In the matter Of franchise, how
ever, the report makes a serious
slump in American principle
which we are inclined to believe
will be eliminated before the
measure passes Congress. 1t the
people of Hawaii are worthy to
be clothed with the full citizen
ship of the United States, they are
also worthy each and everyone to
stand on an equal footing when
they go to the polls to name the
men who shall represent them.
To carry out the full true Ameri-
can principle the people should
have full sway in the local legisla-
ture,in the house and in the senate.
The p ople of Hawaii will be sat
sifed, gratified and benefited by
the full. liberal sway of the Amer
lean principle that legislative
bodies shsll represent the whole
people and not a favored class. If
the people are given full rights of
American citizenship, the value of
that citizenship should not be de,
preciated in value by the barrier
of a property qualification tackled
on to the franchise. The size of a
mans pocketbook or the land he
possesses is by no means a fair
American estimate to place upon
mans right to have a "say" in the
affairs of his local government.
Let no fiction of Americanism
hold sway in the local affairs of
the Hawaii territory.

FROM THE HOUSE OF SPITE.

Under the caption "And Others y
the official organ of the Hawaiian
Government publishes the follow
ing:
In describing the proceedings attending
the transfer of the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States in his message, President
Mckinley states that he had authorized
Admiral Miller and the United States Min
lister" to make the transfer. No further
mention of these officers is made. Aside
from the attitude taken by the Advertiser
towards Mr.. Sewall, as candidate for gov
emor, the mention OF the name of Mr.. h. M.
Sewal as the American Minister in such an
important document as the Presidential
message, would have gratitled not only this
paper, but all Americans who took part in,
or were interested in the ceremony Of the
transfer. Il would have fixed In one Of the
most historical documents of the year the
personality of one of the prominent men.
That the President did not specially men,
ton his name has no significance whatever.
The coon-cat band will now play OF course
that stirring music: 1--WE are making II hot

around Emma Square. Presents OF flowers
and bootjacks are kindly refused.
Is this the treatment that q
loyal American representative,
whose devotion to the cause of an
nexatinn has never wavered, is en-
: titled to receive at the hand Of
men whose cause he honestly and
constantly supportedH The person
al motives in these personal attack
are getting to be well understood IL
this community and the spectacle
presented that we believe grieves
the fair minded sections OF the
community. The matter need not
be dwelt upon beyond the public
alton above given.

THE MESSAGE.

President McKinley's messsg"
to Congress is we'll composed,
strongly conservative document,
typical OF the man and typical OF
the excellent administration be has
given the couptry. The President
gives a careful, businesslike review
of the events that led up to the
war and brings out the more i'm
portant features OF the struggle
which was notably successful and
places heavy responsibilities upon
the people. Mr.. Mckinley does
not 60 at the problems of the day
in the bull-in-the-china shop me-
thod of his predecessor, seeking to
dictate to the people what they
shall do. He lays the situation in
a clear and concise style before
Congress and the people, indicat
ing that his part of the program
as chief executive will be carried
out positively and honestly, await
ing the answer from the people at
to the ways and means, the details
for the future government of the
new territory that has come under
American rule as result OF the
war.
The positive declarations OF the
message are the recommendation
for increase of the army and navy
the necessity for the construction
OF the Nicaragua canal, the assist
ance OF the merchant marine anc
reiteratiou Of the Congressloua
policy that Cuba shall be indie
pendent. These are the necessi

"powers that be" simply because
