they do not understand the situation.
Petitions from various bodies and
from the various nationalities which
go to make up our heterogeneous pop
ulation, have poured in upon the
Commissioners, and they have had to
consider very many divergent views.
This was to be expected. Except when
there is strong pressure from
without, when self-preservation be-
comes the first law of nature, it has
always been a matter of the greatest
difficulty to get this community to
keep one or two things prominently
before it, The very fact that it is a
remarkably intelligent community is
what helps to cause so much diver
gence of opinion
With these many views before them
and with a thorough appreciation of
the fact that however small the pop
ulation is now it will grow enormous
ly during the next decade. and that
the political and commercial interests
of the Islands are really greater than
their apparent size seems to warrant,
the Commissioners have no easy task
before them in formulating any plans
for the future government of the ter
ritory.
What the Commission intends to
propose is a matter of profound Sc
crecy. Their are rumors abroad, but
they are merely rumors. 1t is said,
for instance, that three of the mem
bers of the Commission have united
together upon restricted franchise,
while two are utterly opposed to it..
This would of course lead to a ma
GRITTY and a minority report and to, a
strong division in Congress. For the
suffrage is one of the main points in
our future, and it is one of the points
upon which Senators and Congress
men feel deeply and strongly, and up
on which their constituents look with
uNNh CN NS' D'N' lo SlNhl lCllullCC Cdll
be put upon any of these statements.
Thank goodness, the days for Sc
crecy will soon be passed. 1t has been
one of the curses of Hawaii that its
government should be carried on in
secret instead of openly. Upon this
point the last cabinet were divided.
One of the ministers advocating the
policy of letting the public know as
| much as possible. and others prefer
ring the old course of secrecy. When
a government is for the people, by the
people. the people have to know.
The community at large on the de.
parture of the Commissioners must
thank them for their courtesy and
urbanity, and the members of the
press owe special thanks for favors
conferred. So we wish them Dor

will do their best for the welfare o.

he dicontinued after the Chandler & Smith tannery burned down. MT. Chandler has served in various official capacities. He has been chairman of the republican town committee and registrar for the past twenty-five years. He Is the oldest notary public in the town. Pre- vious to the establishment of the borough court he held he position of trial justice. In 1887 the borough court was estab- lished, with the late James Risley as judge. Two years later Judge Risley reached the age limit and retired. MT. Chandler was then appointed to fill the vacancy, and has since executed clemency or discipline as the cases have seemed to demand from the judicial bench of the borough court. In 1882 he was appointed county commissioner for a term of three years. In 1896 he was again appointed to this important position for 8 term of four years. During his long term of pub. lie life Judge Chandler has been a staunch supporter of the republican party, and the honors that he has received have been the gifts of that party. His latest appointment as postmaster of Stafford Springs Is substantial evidence that his work for his party is appreciated.
