HiIo and all OF Hawaii is cut for
township and county government and
the papers there insist that they need
no advice on the subject" The Trib-
une for Yesterday has the following:
That large and important part OF
the republican party which is bounded
on the north by the Pacific ocean, and
on the south by Pahoehoe. and is 9TH
erwise included in the First district OF
the Territory of Hawaii. has come out
with a local platform upon which y
proposes TO stand any candidates for
the legislature who look for its sup
port, and they must not show any
weakness of the knees while they stan
there. either. This platform is IN its
principal points OF purely local ma
ture and does not encroach upon or
come in conflict with any principles OF
the republican party as whole, or
what is likely to be the territorial plat
form, hammered out at the territorial
convention
1T will be noticed that We are not
trying To carry the scheme OF local
government to the extent OF mu-
nicipality for Hilo. In spite of the
fact that the enormous expenses al
legged for swell municipality like this
are largely mythical, Hilo is willing 10
take its chance with the rest OF the
county which may be formed from
Hamakua. North Hilo and Puma. She
has herself experienced too much OF
municipal hoggishness from Honolulu
in the past TO consider 1t either jus.
or polite to adopt or attempt to adopt
a similar course for herself in the flu
ture
The First district, as it now stands,
is united upon the desirability OF local
government and the expenditure OF
revenues under local direction. bi-
ennial or Quinquennial visit from the
superintendent of public works, when
the treasury is empty, fails to satisfy
our yearning for attention. Being
united upon this point, we should sug-
gest to the Organ of Misrule in Homo
lulu that it change the cylinder in the
monograph and cease to try and talk
us out of our determination. Of course
if it prefers to keep on blowing hot
air in our direction, it Is nothing to
us. one way or another.
