Others leaped from the galleries into

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-Brigadier
General James H. Wilson ha- arrived
in Washington direct from Peking and
called at the war department and paid
his respects to the officials. Speaking
of the Chinese situation, he said
"China absolutely is prostrate. The
report that she contemplates making a
counter claim for indemnity on ac-
count of the punitive expeditions may
be true but have no reason to believe
that any attention will be paid to it,
China has nothing to say in the matter
She is on her knees and must accept
the terms the powers decide to impose.
The punitive expeditions are unneces-
sary and the American troops did not
participate in them. Their effect was
to create bad blood"

WHAT THE PEOPLE WILL Dc
ABOUT IT.

If you don't like it, what are you
going to do about it?" When this ques-
ton is put in its political bearing the
best answer is: Make the best of it and
get in and drill-not grill.-Thc Bufie-
tin.
Presumably, this has reference to the
dissatisfaction caused by the partisan
spirit that was exhibited by Governor
Dole in naming the boards of registra-
ton for the Territory. Don't you be-
lieve for moment that the people will
drill" they will GRILL instead, in
our opinion. and the apologists for the
Governor are making serious mis-
take in adopting the old Tweed sneer:
What are you going to do about it?'
1t was that insolent taunt that led
to the downfall of that greatest and
most powerful political cabal that ever
was organized. and The Republican
doubts whether the present admins
tration of Hawaii will thank its friends
for transplanting the un-American
phrase from the Shiny and eorrupting
political environment of New York
to the clearer and healthier atmosphere
OF Honolulu. In the end, the people
always find a way of showing the poll
tieians What they are going to do
about it, The voters are very apt to
resent impertinence and sneers on the
part of their servants. the officehoIders.

what the visit OF 5000 tourists here for

PERSONAL PARTIsANsHIP.

In his interview. published in an
other column. Governor Dole very
frankly admits that he did not consult
OF inquire OF the duly organized poiiti-
cal committees before making his ap-
pointments for the boards Of registra-
ton. The Governor, in defending his
position, says that he did not knoN
the politics Of many Of the men ap-
pointed. but that he knows them per
sonally. That is one OF the objections
to the appointments. Not that they are
not reputable men. but that they do
not represent anything except personal
followers OF the Governor. In that re-
gard. they are more extensively par
tisan than il they had been appointed
solely ON the ground Of being Republi-
cans.
The elections in Hawaii this fall will
affect and concern all the people. In
preparing for them all the people
should be represented. The chief cause
of complaint against Mr. Dole's admin
istration as President was his adher-
ence 10 policy of not recognizing any
one excepting his close followers. II
has been repeatedly asserted that
President Dole's administration was
simply an oiigarchy. more autocratie in
It's administration than the monarchy
ever dared to oe. 1t is the carrying OF
this same policy into the administra-
tion of affairs now that cause people
to condemn the administration.
The Governor can no more afford to
do this than he could afford to appoii.i
boards of registration upon the sole
ground that they are Republicans Sucn
action is resented by all fair-minded
men. 1t savors of concentration, some
thing the American people have al
ways fought and always will.
True. the law does not provide for
political parties to be represented upon
the boards of registration for the rea-
son that 1t is one of the laws of the re-
public whicn Congress allowed to stand
until the Legislature should meet, put
neither is there any provision in the
law which forbade the Governor from
consulting the chairmen of the Terri
torial committees of the various politi-
cal parties and asking them to submit
the names of reputable men in each
district for appointment upon the
boards of registration. He would not
have been bound to appoint the men
recommended. but such action would
have acted as guide for the appoint
ments, and in this way the Governor
would Eot only have escaped the oppro-
brium of having appointed either Re
publican or Dole partisan boards.
