In my judgment" remarked Mr.. Ell

doubtful districts will be carried by the
regulars Most of the counties in the
regular column are safely Republican,

the Republican party does its whole
duty in November the contest will be
settled by Republican votes in the

Democrats in November and elect
Democratic members in counties where

WILL. V'0rK WITH HHANNA


Gen. Roodor Las been invited to visit
New YORK and confer with the leaders
of tho Raouniicar national committee
In reference 20 the work of the cam
paign, as i is desired that the chair
man of the various state committees
shall he in touch with the national
committee and work in harmony with
Chairman Hanna.
The speech Of acceptance from
Bryan, in which he made imperialism
almost the only issue. made an impress
sion upon the conservative element Of
the Democracy and the Republican
leaders fear that unless there shall be
a renewal of the agitation on the silver
question, this speech from Bryan will
have the effect OF sending sons Of the
sound money Democrats back into line
with 'lo national democracy. Il is be-
lieyod that this speech was prepared
with ~" sol" purpose OF misleading
the gold Democrats OF the east and
getting them to give their support TO
Democratic candidates for congress.
Bryan has Tho confidence of the silver
ties Of the vest and the northwest, and
they know that he will be true to their
Interests no matter what he may deem
polite TO say in any Of his campaign
speeches. With the knowledge that the
silvcrites are for him, Bryan diplo-
ratiCally made his speech Of accept
ance on imperialism, with the idea Of
getting the sound money Democrats Of
the east working in sympathy with the
Democratic organization. The Demo-
cratic silyerites Of Pennsylvania are
now boas,ing that Bryan's Indian
apolis speech will bring back into the
Democratic party many Of the sound
money advocates and that they will be
seryiccah!e in helping TO elect Demo-
cratic candidates for congress and the
Democrats Gnd insurgents vino will be

lature

church. The next Legislature may
assist Mr.. Richards in reforming the
moral conditions of the country,
but if he hopes for success, he must
take the bull by the horn aud start
his reforming scheme not among
the men who sell women, but
among those who buy them, and he
will find that in the latter field he
will be much closer to bis own

MISSIONARY MACHINE MASHED

1t is really amusing to read the
Thurston organ yesterday after
the political blizzard which struck
the missionary machine on Saturday
and even drew the "color" line at
Kalihi. We think we are in the
right when we ask the Hawaiians to
go slow in pledging themselves to a
party which stuffs the ballot boxes,
and in which the members are
fighting among themselves and call
ing each other bad names.

The Advertiser is happy appar-
emily, because number of Hawaii
ans went to the ballot boxes and
voted against it's own clique, 1t
predicts that the Hawaiians will not
stand aloof from national politics
but will come into the fold Of the
only true and upright party, that
represented by the showed under
Thurston gang.

The Advertiser knows nothing
about politics in Hawaii and it
thinks it can wheedle or bully the
Hawaiians into line by the exhibi-
tion of corrupt political methods on
Saturday night. The Hawaiians
were observant and their remarks
to day are far from complimentary.
In one precinct number of Japan

missionary" watchers allowed them
to pass along pretending to believe
that they were Hawaiians, and then
the men we're kicked out by the
"other side," and the practical joker
who perpetrated the joke, was hail
ed with applause by those who had
watched the proceedings.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Get out OF the party, for the ma
jority will have none of them," says
the Advertiser to the men who put
an iceberg on top OF the missionary
machine on Saturday night. 1t will
be interesting to know what consti-
tutes majority" in the mind OF
Mr. Thurston's organ.

We think Colonel Parker has felt
the political pulse Of the vnters aud
has made a correct diagnosis.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-05-22

The main question to be dealt
with by the first territorial legisla-
ture is that OF framing a suitable
bill for the municipal government
of Honolulu and county govern
ments for the other islands. We
want a law which can insure home
rule to each community, and we are
going to have it, in spite of Mr..
Thurston's majority"

If The next Legislature should use
the rates OF salaries adopted for fed
eral officers in the Territory OF Ha-
waii, as a basis for the territorial
officers there will be weeping and
gnashiDg of teeth. The salaries pro-
vided for federal positions may be
suitable in Arizona aud other back.
wood territories, but they will hard
ly be ample for any official in Ha.
waii to pay living expenses and yet
be honest. The latter qualification
is probably not very necessary un-
der American rule.

Maui returns charm the Adver-
tiser also. 1t mentions with scorn
a small cotere of Democrats and re.
fers to the Kepoikai meeting at
Wailuku as great success. The
fact is that there were $50 persons
present at the meeting out OF whom

voters ON Maui we think that the
Advertiser has only got a small
minority. How things are going on

Mr.. E. P. Dole is OF course en-
titled to file brief in defense of the
actions of his department as we'll as
the Circuit Court, His explana-
tions for entering a nolle proseqni
in numerous cases, sent up from the
District Court are not satisfactory
to the public by anv means, but
under all circumstances these ex-
plantations ought to have been made
in open Court before the jurors. As
far as the Circuit Coutt is concerned
we have heard no reflections made
as TO its work We know that the
power of entering a nolls prosequi
is vested in the prosecuting officer
and that the Judge can do nothing
except thinking a great deal. That
the Circuit Judge surprised the
community by lowering the sentence
OF man carrying deadly weapon
from 80 days imprisonment, as i'm
posed in the District Court, to fine
OF S. is surprising, and the taxpayers
have a perfect right to criticize and
condemn such decision. The
Judge probably thinks we are in
Arizona.
We are fully in accord with our
morning contemporary in urging
legislative action against the Jap
apese procurers who have become a
curse to the community, but we OBJ
ject to any foolish action which may
involve the territory in dangerous
trouble. There can be no discrimin
alton made against the Japanese,
and, il crusade is to be made in
the name of morality, the local
"Parkhursts" will be in duty bound
to look into the actions of Chinese,
Hawaiian and "white" procurers.
Chinese girls are being sold as we'll
as Japanese girls. Hawaiian women
frequently submit to the alluripg

"whites" we find several assign natiop

The Advertiser has evidently no
idea of the number of the Hawaiian
voters in the country or it would
understand that not a corporal's
guard of them voted on Saturday
and those who did, were simply
there to have the pleasure of giving
the first kick politically to the
Thurston outfit.

is probably not very necessary un-
der American rule.
The Advertiser is happy. The
Washington Star, the subsidized
organ of the missionary gang has
declared Dole the right man for
governor Of the Territory of Ha-
waii. The Washington Star will be
supported in it's views by Sc.
reno Bishops Friend, and then
Dole ought to feel sure of the sup
port of the people. If Dole doesn't
get his own way, Thurston will
elect himself the Delegate to Con-
gress and disfranchise the Ha.
waiians.
We think that paid female off,
Ger or some good missionary should
be added to the police force to
serve as matron for the female
prisoners. 1t is improper to have
women, arrested for some trivial
otfense, under the charge of the
turnkeys and officers on duty, and
it is outrageous to see Japanese
woman carrying screaming infant
into Court, while she is listening to
the charge preferred against her.
There was no one to take cara of
the baby, while the woman appear
ed in court, but we think it is a
scandal that small child should be
dragged into criminal court,
eventually to become familiarized
with the shady side OF life, in the
realms of crime.
We have the greatest regard for
Judge Wilcox and Marshal A.
M. Brown aud it grieves us
when these two respected officials
show discrimination in cases be-
fore them, which necessarily cause
comments. Mr. W. G. Achi was ar
rested while ago for violating GER
tain Board OF Health rules. His
case. after several continuances. was
called in the District Court ysster-
day morning and nolle prosequi
was entered although Mr.. Achi was
not present in the court and did not
respond to the calling OF his case.
Other men have absented themselves
in similar manner but every time
did the Court issue bench warrant
aud demanded the personal appear
ance OF the defendant prior to list
enipg to the reading Of the charge.
