Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1898-09-22

If the situation in Hawaii today
does not call for the appointment
to the governorship of man who
has not taken part in local poll
tics, there never was an instance
where such appointment was de-
manded. The man mixed up in
previous politics, who wants to get
in and satisfy the various factions
of the country, must indeed be a
seeker of the office.

tot appointed to office. There
has never been any accusation of
"jobbery" used in putting the
members where they are. All
signs point to their being 10
close touch with the people of the
country, who assisted President
Mckinley in carrying through
with success the Hawaiian annex
alton policy.
What advances have been made
to the Cabinet by their supporters
we do not know, but we do know
that the Cabinet has been asked to
outline its policy, to give some
idea of what the people may ex
pect from the official leaders. The
people of the country may well
draw the conclusion that the
American Union party has been
forced to appeal direct to the
Commission for a liberal form of
territorial government, because
the official leaders are not in SYM
pathy with its declared principles.
1t is also forced upon the atten-
ton of the Commission that the
Cabinet has not, since the flag
went up, been a representative or
ganization of either party or the
people of the country.

Mr.. Editor the above appears

such cause-even for fee.
The spectacle of or two form er
ministers to Washington making
efforts to pave the way for special
legislation in favor of Chinese in
Hawaii is not an encouragin @
sign of the times.
Taken in conjunction with the
reticence of the Cahiue. on matters
submitted to the Commission ers
things politically begin to look At
