EDUCATION IN AMERIcANISM.

In the proceedings of the meetir rs
of the Republican convention as pub
lished in these columns last evening,
G. B Wilson was quoted as saying that
he advocated giving Hawaiians print
ed information on Hawaiians institu-
tions" when 1t should have read
American institutions"
To quote his remark more fully it
was as follows. 81 believe that 1t
would be for the best interests of the
Republican party in the Territory of
Hawaii that some means be brought
about by the party so that the Declara-
ton of independence Of the United
States of America, the American Con-
stitution, Newland's Bill of Annexa-
ton, the Territorial Bill, and the plat
form Of the Republican party under
President Mckinley be translated and
published in the Hawaiian language in
pamphlet form or otherwise and to be
given out to the Hawaiian people 70
that II would be read in every native
hamlet in the Territory from Hawaii
to Niihau. BY so doing the Hawaiian
will inform himself on American insti-
tutions and become better prepared to
take sides in American politics when
he goes to the ballot box to vote for
his party, does so understandingly. He
will also know his status as an Ameri-
can citizen" While this Is only sug-
gestion, 1t is the duty of the Central
committee to take 1t up

there is no personal Ill will toward the

With Mr.. Andrews denying the re-

reys declaring on his personal honor
that he spoke the truth the people are
In a position to draw their own con-
illusions. Mr.. Andrews labors under
the disadvantage that the rules
which he as the tool of others present
ed to the committee would, In their
practical application, secure the result
OF shutting out large element of
honest voters from the Republican par
ty. II is sufficient that the scheme was
defeated and the party saved. The VIC
tors can afford to be generous.

Legislative sessions are at best expen-

NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY.

Further wrangling over the details
OF the Republican convention will be
left to the ponderous antagonisms OF
the organ prompted by personal spite
and devoid Of political honesty or 10y
atty to the Republican party. The
members OF the convention, the men,
bers Of the committee on organization
and the people know that studied and
covert attempt was made to foist upon
the Republican party a set OF rules
and regulations that would present
particularly impossible CARRIER to the
entrance OF the common people into
the counsels Of the party. Misrepresent
loyal party workers as 1t may, 1t is i'm
possible for the Advertiser to cover up
the fact that the influence Of that or
gan has been and is now to disrupt the
party and pave the way for Demo-
cratic victory at the polls. This It has
found impossible to do and 1t will sim
ply drift into the Democratic ranks
where 1t belongs.
To what lengths the disgruntled ma
chlnists are driven is demonstrated by
the latest Inconsistencies to which ut
teranc els given this morning. In one
sentence they seek toshow the conven-
ton as acting under the influence Of n
machine and In the next declares that
the Republican party was saved by
fraud. Even Judge Smith, who II he
has the respect for his profession with
which the Bulletin credits him will lot
appear in another political convention
while holding position on the Circuit
bench. will admit that the rules finally
laid down by the convention We're
framed in the best interests Of the Re.
publican party. Furthermore, Judge
Smith will not deny that he knew that
he was to be the chairman of the COM
mittee on organization and was the Sc
lection Of the outside ring that hoped
to run the convention at It's most criti-
cal period and utterly failed. BE 1t
said to Mr.. Smiths credit that when
he saw the temper of the convention
hC withdrew his championship Of ma
chine rule and assisted in the slaugh-
ter of the document which had been
placed In his hands by the machine
minority.
The Advertiser attempts to uphold
its dishonesty by apologizing for the
nefarious features of the machine re-
port. Thereby 1t follows the exact
policy found in the resolution promul-
gated by Democratic organizers. BY
assuming to be Republican the organ
championed a machine scheme that
would drive voters to the Democratic
party. Having failed to secure the sup
port of the people at the primaries. the
machine took the only remaining OPP
portunity that offered to defeat liberal
Republican principles and thereby Sc
cure success for its true friends the
Democrats.
The Republican Party, the Republic
can convention has nothing In Its
record. no details of its final unani-
nous action for which there Is neces-
sity for apology or explanation. II
decried the Democratic viper of the
Advertiser campaign and crushed II
under the heel of liberal, pure politics
and unanimous vote.
Tho Democrats take the first step to.
night towards party organization. In
20 far as this means the doing away
with the old narrow party prejudices

A
Three Men Probably Fatally at
Fight In White Oaks.

The usual quiet serenity OF White
Oaks has been rudely disturbed by a
frightful tragedy. On Saturday even
ing the regular Saturday night ball
was held at Bonnell hall. Everything
was progressing with the usual quiet
and order for which these festivities
here are noted. until about " o'clock,
when two men, one "A full FLOODED
Haqui Indian, came upon the scene,
They were seen to be intoxicated and
were denied admlttance into the hail..
w~hereupon the Indian drew a evolver
and his companion a knife, and they
undertook to force their way into the
hall. Jose Lial, a ~peaceable and high
ly respected native, who was acting aa
master OF ceremonies for the ball, was
shot through the body and will prob.
ably die. The natives then made an
attempt to capture the two drunken
rowdies, and In the struggle which fol-
lowed both received broken skulls. II
Is thought the Indian cannot recover.
but his companion this morning seems
likely to survive. The Indian has been
in the community for some time, and
can speak some English. He is known
as Jose NJ. Rivera. His companion,
Justo Sofas. Is known to be a bad char
acter, and has served a term In the
penitentiary. The injury sustained by
Jose Lial Is very much regretted by
the people OF White oaks. as he Ia
well known by all, having been dellv-
cry man for the Ia aferro Mercantile
and Trading company for a number
OF years and is industrious. reliable
and polite.
