from the manner ia which govern
ment appointments are made WISHES
to perpetuate their rule. This com
pact or oligarchy, which is NOT real.
" American in sympathy or ideas OF
government rules the Islands thro
a president and cabinet, but never
use any constitutional forms OF gov
eminent only in name. All power
is vested in tho Legislature and
cabinet : the cabinet alone when the
Legislature is not in session. All
positions are appointive by the pres
ident aud this body. Honolulu is
the seat OF government, A culyert
cannot be made in the thriving city
of Hilo on the largest island about
two hundred miles distant, unless
the powers at Honolulu, rival city,
will it. 1t is the same with any road
improvement throughout the ISL
ands. The people OF the other ISL
ands complain, but are rowerless,
The only thorough solution is local
option as given by our town and
county system. This is needed aud
the Legislature should be compelled
to provide it. This is not the native
view alone but opinions OF thorough
Americans residing on the Islands.
1t is my opinion that even with re-
stricled suffrage this genuine Am
erican sentiment will prevail at the
polls, aud the "family compact"
turned down. Bat aside from the
merits OF these white factions stiiy-
ing for power not yet having any
settled party name-my plea is for
our representative system Of govern
ment in justice to our newly acquir-
ed subjects. There are forty thous-
and natives to the five thousand
whites. As a nation, while they
mourned over the loss Of their coun-
try and their flag, they have accept
ed defeat, and will, if given fair
show, prove loyal, useful subjects of
the United States. At present they
feel sore. They have been turned
from position and power by few
whom they once trusted. With eager
eyes they silently watch congress.
sional action-a hope simply that
they may be taken on their merits
as men and not Disseminated against
because, while possessing the aver
age white intelligence, their com.
plexion is brown. These are intelli-
gent, kind, law abiding people. The
people of the United States will not
sanction their being ignored, brush.
ed aside or crushed with contempt.
| have made this communication
much lengthier than at first intend
ed, but | feel satisfied from perus.
al OF the RECORD debates, that Con-
gress is not in possession of the real
facts OF the situation in the Hawai-.
ian Islands. II anything have said

line OF investigation, | shall feel re.
paid.
Just word on kindred subject
The United States with the object
OF gaining the good will Of her sub.
]ects newly acquired must be Just, il
can even afford 10 be generous. For
TINS reason and Others that might
be mentioned the ex.Queen should
be granted an allowance in lieu Of
her crown lands conliscated by the
provisional government, which act
is sanctioned by the provisions Of
the territorial bill divesting her Of

IN YOUR issue OF the 18th inst. ] read
an account of the taking and killing
of my horse by an agent of the
Humane Society, which is not wholly
correct. 1t is there stated that the
animal was kept in a stable recently
b,,ilt whereas it was nearly year
old that he suffered from cold, eN-
uosure. and lack of food: that he was
thin. etc All these statements are
wrong. ON the contrary. the horse,
being a pet. was we'll used, and fed.
and far from being thin: he had just
consumed "A ton of hay, and | had Il
quantity on hand which | could add to
at any time. as we'll az supply "f
grain. and ! always kept good
blanket on him, and could keep him
in a warm stable, close at hand. IN
cold weather. These facts can be
verified by reliable people close at
hand. The agent gave me no chance
10 dispose of my horse. and, besides,
7 shall suffer far more than the morse

meeting of the mayor and board of al
dermen. Saturday night. file forma
petition for the revocation OF the IL
cense granted Charles b. Savage to run
a bus between the Insane Hospital and
Eavmarket square. Ever since the Ii
ccuSe was granted the cab men have
spent much Of their time when not en-
gagged by business in talking over the
matter. They claim that their business
has been greatly injured by the new
cab. Many of the people living on the
East side of the river have found the
cab of great convenience to them.
Now the petitioners. to have the Ii
rense changed. will ask for formal
hearing on the matter and hope To
have their case more fully considered
at the meeting. Saturday evening.
u hat they are after Is that new IL
cense be granted Mr. Savage restrict
ing him 50 that he may run but one
round trip a day and that during the
matter. They claim that their business
argument for having license grahteh
was because he wished 70 accommo-
date the Hospital people by carrying
them back and forth to the Opera
house. Since he has been running the
cab he has been doing good busi-
ness. The cabmen claim that by CIV

TWO CARS DITCHEO.
A Slight Wreck Occurred Near Al

A slight wreck occurred about
four miles north OF Altheimer on the
Cotton Belt road Tuesday night,

other loaded with lumber, were
ditched. They we're part of

two engines Ga double header) and

fortunately none Of the train crew
were injured. Several tramps were
riding the freight at the time of the
accident, but when search was

passengers. The damage was very
light.
