ADVICE FROM KUoKoA.
What Ought to Be Done for Island
- Progress.

Any one can see that the whites and
the natives are antagonists toward
each other. and as long as this feeling
lasts, SO long will there be trouble and
enmity. The causes NJ this feeling are
some native leaders VINO are leading
the Hawaiians to hate the whites, and
some white leaders. These native lead
ers are trying to lead the Hawaiians to
help themselves regardless of the rights
of the whites, When the whites saw
this feeling, there was nothing else to
do but to fight for their rights. For
this reason the whites and the natives
are not at peace.
When two different sides are at war
with each other one Is sure TO win.
Which of these two sides will win?
This is a very important question for
us, Hawaiians, to know. AT present
we are the majority at the ballot box
and therefore we will win. VIII this
last very long? If the whites see that
we are winning and are trying to hurt
their interests, they will seek measures
to defeat us. They have friends in the
two political sides OF the United States,
and they Will have their friends pass
law, That only those who can read

votes' and where will we be? If they
can't do that, they can fill the planta-
tons with white laborers, and soon they
will have the majority. All the planta-
tons are owned by whites and they
can fill Hawaii nei with whites If they
choose to. Therefore, we can plainly
see. that we can only win for a time.
but il can not last II we do not regard
the rights of the whites as some of our
leaders are advising us to down the
whites"
We can only gain and prosper by
living peaceably. by working for the
good of all, and by voting for the side
that will do US the most good. We do
not advise you to be dependent upon
the whites, but we do advise you to
look to the good Of all. and not to be
selfish. looking only for ourselves re-
gardless Of others. We are part Of
the United States today. and the whites
are the majority there. There. they
have two political sides formed many
wears ago. still in existence today. and
will always be there. The Republicans
viii help those that are on their side.
and so will the Democrats. Looking
back to the struggles between these two
political sides, we see that the Repub-
licans have won the most and the many
on that side were the ones to reap the
benefits thereof. With this fact staring
us in the face We can see that we can
only be benefited by voting for the Re
publicans. II we vote for the Demo-
Gratis We will be in the minority. And
how about the Home Rulers? They
are not known In American politics
and it's foolish for US 10 vote for side
not known IN American politics.
When our delegate went 70 Congress-
he learned that his voice was not heed

political sides OF the United States. He
came home in quick time" and annex
cd Republican 70 this unknown name
of the side they have chosen. thinking
that by so doing they viii be recognized
in the United States But any one
with a little common sense can see that
there Is no such side as Home Rule
Republican" IN American politics. and
therefore II will be ignored just as XVI
okoa Home Rula" was. II we Join the
majority We will have the majority TO
help US, and we will BE- able to demand
