We have exhibited small interest
only in the controversy in regard to
municipal governments which is 60
ing on among orr local Republican
press. We think it would be waste
of time TO enter an argument on a
matter which is foregone couclu-
sion. The family compact may
roar, the Advertiser may screech
day in and day out, but Honolulu
will have municipal government,
aud Hawaii, Maui and Kauai will
have self-government as far as their
domestic affairs are concerned. II

vote wishout restriction virtually for

cannot check the vote Of our citizens

There was time when VIC thought
that the mut iclpal government

changed our views and we believe
that the municipal governments
shall be controlled by the men quail
fed to vote for members OF the
