The Advertiser has become an al
armist in regard TO the Board Of
Health, and is making q great plea
for the retaining OF the large staff
of useless officials which are now
sucking the tits of the public trea-
sury COW, The Board OF Health
should be in the hands OF a practi-
cal business man with an advisory
board of professional men. The
marshal or High Sheriff or whoever
is the head of the police depart ment
should be member ex ollicio and
the whole outfit should be conduct
ed by President, a Secretary and
one or two agents Ali of them
should be made to understand that
the Board Of Health is not law
making body but simply tho execu-
tive department OF certain small
branch OF the territorial government.
II is not for the board to tecide
whether political committee can
so to the Leper Settlement or not.
A matter like that should be decid-
ed by the Legislature and we guess
it will be. Where is the difference
between doctors and agents, and
carpenters running UP to the Ssttle-
ment whenever it suits the Board Of
Health, and a few kamaainas going
there for day or two to tell the
lepers about their rights to vote FOR
Delegates and members OF the legis-
lature. The wings Of the Board Of
Health need to be clipped very
badly.

An employee OF the Board Of

breeds malaria to the neighborho cd
OF the road leading to the new

looked at an old hat. He stirred a

We entertain the highest esteem
for Mr.. Samuel Parker as an indivi-
dual and representative Hawaiian,
and TO his honor be it said, that he
loaned his name to the Republicans
in an effort to defeat Robert Wilcox.
1t has always been known among
the friends Of Mr.. Parker, that it
was contrary to his wishes and
personal interests, that he should
become candidate for Delegate to
Congress. As long as no other man,
acceptable to the voters, entered the
field, Mr.. Parker was ready and will
ing to step into the breach and to
support good aud pure government
against the Wilcox cabal. Mr.. Park
er, by resigning in favor of Prince
David has gained more friends than
he ever commanded, and every con-
cession or gift in the power of the
territorial government will be at his
disposal for his truly patriotic and
noble action in fighting against cor
ruption and policy which would
mean the ruin OF Hawaii.

4 propos OF "a Democrats" letter
in this mornings P.C.A. suggesting
fusion between the Democrats and
Republicans and naming certain
gentlemen for the local Senate and
House, it was perhaps curious in
cident that a representative OF this
paper discussed this matter last
evening with a practical politician
who controls votes. Strangely
enough also was it that every name
in the Advertisers list was discuss
ed but the man of vote controlling
power declined to accept but three
on the grounds that it would simply
mean the election Of TIE same old
ring and the continuance in power
of the family compact. He felt
that for once, at this our first elec-
ton, the Hawaiians should have
show for the stakes. If they misbe-
have then let Americans deal with
them in practical politics.

Prince David will be the ideal
man for the position as Delegate.
The 'royalists" will remember the
Ali, who at ono time was behind
the bars of the Jail in 1895. They
will remember him as the last scion

Philadelphia, Nov. Slate returns
indicate that Pennsylvania gave over

ticket. exceeding even the record
breaking plurality of 295,072 in 1896.
OF this plurality Philadelphia furnishes
over 125. 900 and Allegheny county, in
cluding Pittsburg, nearly $4,000. Bryan
carried 10 of the 67 counties in the
state.
In this city the fusion of the Demo-
Gratis with the Municipal League cut
down the Republican county majority,
but J. Hampton Moore, for city treas
urer, and Jacob Singer, for register of

rality.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS
CLAIM The LEGISLATURE

Chicago, Nov. S.-Returns received
from the state at large do not materi-
ally alter the political complexion Of
the next state legislature The prob
ability is that the Republicans will
have a majority of about p on joint
ballot which means a Republican sue
cessor to Senator Cullom. The present
house is Republican by 10 and the hold
over senators give a Republican ma
jority of eight in the senate and the
Democrats figure that with but slight
gains they will be able to have a ma
jority of one or two ON joint ballot and
thus replace Senator Cullom with a
Democrat. In the event of their obtain-
ing the control of the legislature. IL is
certain that Samuel Alschuler. the de-
feated Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date. will be sent to the senate. The
Republicans however claim that there
is not the slightest doubt OF their hav-
ing control of the legislature, and give
plausible figures in support of their
assertions. Some of them claim SO
members Of the house. but this is con-
sidered excessive by the conservative
members Of their own party.
