and Out.

The Home Rulers are at skies and
,svens among themselves, and neither

or where the difficulty is going to end.
From the present outlook it would
.aem that Senator Kalauokalani would
be offered up as a vicarious sacrifice
by the Disconnected natives. In addi-
ton to appeasing their desire for re-
yenge for the failure of the Legisla-
| ture. the non-plussed Home Rulers will
also pay off several personal scores
that they have against the tall Sena-
tor. The why and wherefore of this

always managed to whip the unruly
members back into line, and while

power, kaiauOkalani made all kinds Of
inducements. He assured his compat-
