SATURDAYS PARADE AND
MEETING.

figures so brilliantly in the history
OF literature; it signifies education,
man who has read. We wonder If
there were any Hawaiians who spoke
Saturday evening, who in an I'M
guarded moment are apt to use the
namo Of some man famous in liter
allure. We wonder again il there are
not some local prominent haoles
who do not know whether VIM.
Cullen Bryant was baseball play
or or bookmaker. The anti silver
feeling OF the Eastern press has
proved the kind OF a man the Demo.
Gratis have at the head OF their
ticket; when Mr. Bryan after
four years OF hard work for his
party aud principles, said to the
convention assembled at Kansas
City: Gentlemen, unless you adopt
the Silver plank step down and
out; it only displayed the principle
and straightforwardness for which
he is much respected by all who
know him. And though wo hear OF
the opposition OF certain class to
the silver part Of the platform, we
all know the confusion that would
have followed Bryan's withdrawal
and the utter impossibility to have
selected, at the eleventh hour,
man half 80 strong, or one who
could have held the party together;
80 we in unison with all the Demo
Gratis in Hawaii congratulate Mr..
John Wise on his vote for 16 to /.
John says he is not familiar enough
with the money question to publicly
explain l6 to l, which are the very
same words we once heard John Il.
Mclean say, when asked TO explain
the Same question. VIM. Mckinley
ought to be as able to define its
meaning as is Mr.. Bryan, for when
Mckinley was a Senator he was
16 to l man an advocate Of the
Sherman law and strong opponent
OF anything English, he is now on
the opposite side and his only
reason for being there is, az he told
prominent silver man, that he
"had to-"
In Hawaii just now we are hear
ing a great deal about the actions
OF Senator Tillman; let me say to
the Hawaiians who may see this
that Mr.. Tillman never saw an Ia
waiian aud OF course cannot intelli-
gently say what is required for Ha-
wall and the Hawaiians in the way
OF legislation or anything else; he
does not know that it is possible to
bring him into Hawaiian homes and
show him culture and refinement to
equsl ii not surpass that OF the Till
man home. Senai Morgan and
Berry are Dem 1cratic Senators and
know the Hawaiian people; we all
know their feelings in this matter
The action OF few Senators on the
negro question in their home states
does not apply to the principles OF
the party to which they belong, nor
can it in any way apply to the Ha-
waiians. II it did the Democrats
might refer to Oregon with her re-
cent Republican majority OF 10000,
their state constitution contains the
most rigid restrictions regarding
the negro and his rights, proposal
to repeal this clause was also de
ieated this spring. | SEQ the Ka-
mebsmeha Schools are to study the
U. 8. Constitution, this is a bad
thing for the local Republican
party; it must be prevented, the
BOYS will read where ell men are
supposed to have the same rights
and privilege, they will read, if a
certain Territory OF country be-
comes a part and parcel Of the U. S
and ia under and protected by the
Stars and Stripes 1t must necessarily
be governed by the same federal
constitution which governs it,
n.ighboring territory under the
same flag. They will also read that
