doubtless the worthy Senator from
Olaa pinned his faith to.
1t is certainly comfort to know the
true springs of human conduct and this

many of the hesitations about bringing
on acts, and changes in the appropria-
ton bills. Thus the hirsute member
from the Fifth might announce to the
solons under the trees. II dreamt last

pause and say that according to the

fat pig was regarded as an unfortunate
promotion, seeing fat pigs represented
Emperors, King, etc And then Bill
White a follower of "Napoleon's dream
book" would roar "a fat pig is lucky.
1t means take all in sight, Let us clean
out the Treasury. That is what Napo-

And now, alas, the period of urognos-
tics is over, and our worthy solons will
have to dream alone, and interpret
each for himself. No more shall the
awful portents of the night be eXpound-
ed under the shady trees of the capitol
grounds. To do the subject justice one
must quote. Imagine the conclave as

this must have been an excellent men
tai diet upon which to start out the
Legislative work for the day. Now is
the statement in circulation true? 1t
certainly is a clue to erratic action.

THEIR GUIDES.

1t is stated, whether on good or bad
authority or not, The Star has not veri-
fed the tale. but it is stated that dream
books played a considerable part in the
lucubrations of our last Legislature.
There is some color given to this by
the effect the Legislature has had up
on the Territory. 1t has felt like a
nightmare, and the people of the Ter
ritory have awakened with a sigh of
relief to know that the nightmare is
over.
But if it is true that the Legisla-
tive session has been conducted under
the auspices of dreams, it will account
for a great many things. 1t will ac-
count for that morning session under
the trees. Kalauokalani no doubt
helped to eXpound the meanings to the
listening solons. But one wonders what
particular brand of dream book our
solons had. Bill White must have had
an entirely different one from John
Emmeluth, and DIR. Russell could not
have followed the text which Makekau
believed in. In point of fact there must
have been dream books from all parts
of the world, and this may account for
the cross purposes which led the Home
Rule party to division and mishap.
1t must be patent to any one that
"Napoleoh's dream book" a favorite
here, could not agree with the interpre-
tation offered by '%rhe socialists dream
guide, or how to be always agin it,"

Senator Russell walls from Olaa. He
mourns over the Hawaiian legislator
and he sees no hope. The Senator will
get over his fit of the blues, and he
will, in time, be glad of the experience
he has had. He knows a great deal
more now of the practical working of
politics, than he did when he descended
from the slopes of Mauna Loa full of
ideals and enthusiasm. Neither of
these excellent attributes will take any
one through a legislative session with
success. Cheer up Senator.
