GOOD GOVERNMENT AT ISSUE

The Good Government Republicans
are well-ahead of the machine in the
Territorial Convention, thanks in large
degree to the stalwart aid of Mr.. Achi
and his native Hawaiians. They elect
ed the chairman in the person of Mr..
kaulukou and the secretary in the
person OF Mr.. Hendry; and they got
just the delegation to Philadelphia they
wanted In the persons of Messrs. Par
ker. Kepoikai, Dillingham; and Castle,
with Mr.. Parker as chairman Having
so clear majority of votes they ought
to find no trouble in putting the party
on an honest basis OF organization. 1t
10 against this that the minority ma
chine now protests. It's members said
last night that they can fool Achi and
obtain what they want by delaying
matters until the majority of the ma
tive delegates get tired and go home
leaving them to run things in their
own way. But if Achi is made of the
stuff We think he is he will fool the
machine and insist at once this morn
ing upon rules of organization which
will conduce, here in Honolulu and
elsewhere, to honest primaries
Last night the machine got the Or
ganization postponed to await an in
terminable job of translating and print
ing. Then its members began talking
against the tyranny of rules" They
wanted no obstacles" to interfere with
free expression, any more than high
waymen want laws to interrupt their
little games on the road. Theirs is the
open primary" which they can colo
ME from the waterfront with the help
OF Lewis & Turk and from any other
place where purchasable colonists are
to be found-a primary in which they
can defeat honest Republicans by run
ming in Democrats and nondescripts OF
all kinds. We want no such primaries
as these and if Achi and his friends
Joined with other Good Government
Republicans of whom Judge Smith OF
Hilo is type, can defeat them ant
give the party safeguarded politics they
will deserve the honors of the day.
The fight will be on this morning fol
pure politics. There are votes enough
to win 1t and the responsibility of lead
ing them properly and triumphantly
In the face of the cunning politicians
of the machine is great. All eyes are
ON Achi and Smith and their s.anct
and valiant allies. Will they win the
battle as they ought to or succumb
to the wiles OF the would-be bosses?

assume that they have been as reluct-

political pail as the natives are.

Complaints reach the Advertiser
from the owners of private carriages
that they are unable to drive to the
sidewalk near the fish market owing
to the hacks which are massed there on
busy days. AS there is room for the
hacks at the opposite curb there would
seem to be no reason why they should
monopolize the approaches to the mar
ket. The trouble is one that the police
might easily settle without doing in
justice to any one.

The return of Liliuokalani is preced-

her days are to be few in the land.

vest the homecoming of the late SOW
ereign with pathos and solemnity not
unlike that which surrounded the re-

for sympathy in her last great trouble

very kind in extending sympathy and
material assistance, not only to our
selves, during our present bereavement
but also to our son during all his sick

very warm place in our hearts.

The Tacoma Ledger Tuesday,
speaking of Captain Tew's steamer
Northern Light, has the following to
say:
"The Northern Light is not pretty
to look at, her square box-like struc-
ture strangely en1b1ing that of the
Clara Brown. She was built for the
Yukon trade last year, but the COM
pany building her failed to take her
north. She is of light draft and is a
typical Yukon river boat. Captain
Tew felt slightly aggrieved when ask
ed if he had built the steamer, and said
that anyone who knew him would
never accuse him of anything like that.
He is not at all pround Of the steam
er's lines, but says she will do nicely
on the run she is to take"

In another column will be found the
advertisement of Wilmer Atkinson
Co., publishers of The Bicycle Books.
In conciseness of statement, in the
thoroughness with which the ground
has been covered, The Bicycle Books
have won praises on every hand. The
boiled-down, common-sense, cream not
skim milk method, which characterizes
the pages of the FARM JOURNAL has
been carried out in their preparation.
For mechanical effect no expense or
pains have been spared, and the high
ly finished paper, the beautiful illus
trations, the excellent type and press
work, and the handsome cloth binding,
make these books models of the print
er's art. The color work in the Berry,
Poultry and Cow Books has never
been attempted before in any book
selling tor a reasonable price. No
farm or rural home is complete with
out Judge Bicycles Books, and no one
interested in these subjects can afford
to let another day go by without shar-
ing in the helpful things with which
their pages are filled. Pay $40 for a
farm library other than this and you
will not have more value. The price
is SO cents, free by mail; address the

The Elma Chronicle re-opens the
question of having one of our railroads
connect with the Summit branch Of
the Northern Pacific. The PROPOSE
ton has been studied some years ago,
and some surveying work done, but
hard times came before the connection
was made. Had it been done Shelton
would now have big mill or two cat
er1ng to the Eastern trade. However
we expect to have a direct connection
by means of the Port Angeles Eastern
by the end of this year and this is far
more desirable to the people of this
section.
