ITS SUPPORT BROUGHT DEFEAT.

The result of the recent election il
the State of Washington contains
some lessons that may not be lost on
political workers in Hawaii. Rogers
the democratic candidate for governor
has been elected by a plurality over
Frink, republican. of 1900. while Nc
,inley and the republican state Off
GERS have carried the state by upwards
of 10000.
To say that the support of the Seat
tie Post-Intelligencer, which for many
years has held the republican party
in the hollow of its hand, has defeated
Frink. while strictly true, would be do
ing the present management of that
excellent paper an injustice. The
cause is a little farther TO seek than
that statement would upon its face
appear TO imply. The Post-Intelligenc-
er in the past six years has changed
hands three times. IL has changed its
shade OF republication twice as many
more times but that is neither here
nor there.
For the period from 1895 to late in
the year of 1897 that paper was mani
pulated in juvenile style by youth
full owner, with more money than
brains. and an unQuenchable appetite
for still more of the former. who man
aged to debauch the paper and wreck
the party which the result OF the cleo
ton of 1896 fully proved.
plenty OF money and newspaper abil
ity TO burn failed to place the paper
back in the proud position of full con.
fidence that il once occupied and the
party suffers accordingly. In the late
campaign the Post-Intelligencer was
..e TO show up the most fragrant NAL
feasanoe and fraud upon the part of
Governor Rogers. and Mr.. Frink IS
known TO be most honest and low
able man with record as state sena
tor that is above reproach.
But to no avail. One fall from grace
was enough. The present able polit
teal management could not check the
devastation of the toredo of public
distrust and a worthy man went dowr
to defeat because of the cowardice and
weakness Of the ancestry of his sup
| port
Is there any analogy between thi;
circumstances and the defeat of Ger
tain republican candidates in Hawaii.

WEATHER YESTERDAY.
THE PROSPEROUS REPUBLICAN.

Today's Republican consists of
twelve pages and is the largest Sun
day paper ever issued in Honolulu.
Twelve pages the size OF The Repub-
lican are equal to sixteen pages "
any ether paper published in this city.
A glance over today's Republican Will
show how prosperous the paper is and
how strong II is becoming in the con-
fdence Of the people. OF the total II
eighty-four columns considerably over
one-half are taken up by the live ad-
vertisers OF the city. In view of the
fact that The Republican is not yet SIX
months old this showing is remark
able. II shows that there was a field
for The Republican as was said when
the paper started. Every day sees In
crease in the circulation, and hearty
commentators upon the papers bold
and fearless course are daily pouring
into the office. 1t is doubtful if any
other paper in the United States was
ever enabled TO make such a showing
before it was six months old as The
Republican makes today. Nor has its
business been secured by any cutting
of rates. Its subscription price is the
same as that of the other dailies while
its advertising rates are higher thar
any others save one. Its street salei
on Sunday are larger than the tota
circulation OF most of the other dailiei
in Honolulu. and it's regular subscrip
ton list is not exceeded by more thar
one paper in Hawaii, even if it is *
ceeded by that one.

subject OF municipal government for
Honolulu and the framing OF charter
by a commission appointed by the
three political parties YOU have shown
political wisdom and foresight that
others % the republican committee
and oounsels would do well TO pattern
after. The Republicans are in a mi
nority in the legislature and IL they
wish 20 accomplish anything they
must work with the Independents and
not against them. And il is too your
credit Mr.. Stewart that you take this
sensible view Of the case and do no,
allow your political bias to run away
with your good sense.

There is one thing in the PROPOSE
ton of the Independents for the APP
poiutment of a charter commission
that we believe the leaders of that
party will change wnen il is called to
their attention. The call asks that the
republicans and democrats join in ap-
pointing a commission TO consist Of
thirty free holders. To limit the mem
bership OF the commission to free
holders would. in our opinion. be
mistake That would preclude nearly
all of the new corners. who have been
here less than one year, from being
members. Very few men coming into
a community become free holders
before they can become voters, anu
there are newly arrived citizens who
own personal property and have
means but who have not become free
holders. II is highly essential that
some of these newer residents OF Ho-
uolulu should be members of the char
ter commission. Coming recently from
the mainland they are more familiar
with municipal conditions than those
who have resided here for many years.
Iaen too il is most desirable that wo-
men be represented upon the commits
sion and some of the very women who
might be the most valuable members.
probably are not freeholders. While
the commission should be made up in
the main OF free holders and men rep
resenting large property interests as
well as men owning small homes. 1t
is also essential that laboring men
and newly arrived residents should
have representatives on the commits
sion and voice in the framing of the
charter.
