The Folio Tournament.

Notwithstanding cloudy and
threatening weather, accompanied
by brief but heavy shower, many
fir men and brave. women were
attendants at the opening series
OF the pslo games at Kapiolani
Park yesterday afternoon. The
wealth and fashion OF the Homo
lulu "four hundred" were we'll re.
presented and the colors OF the con-
testing teams we're quite evenly
distributed although naturally
enough the blue OF Oahu was more
prominent than the green OF Hilo,
the yellow OF Maui or the scarlet
Of little Kauai. AS on inception the
meet was success; appreciative
spectators aud interesting games.
The result Of the games as played
is: Oahu ~, Hilo 2, Maui 9, Kauai
6. Tomorrow the second game of
the polo tournament is scheduled
to take place at the Park the con-
testants being the losers in the first
games viz: Hilo VS. Kauai. Judges
play Kauai TO win. The efficient
service performed by Lieut. Leslie,
and the members OF the mounted
police force on duty at the game,
deserves mention on account of
good judgment displayed in pre-
venting opportunity for accidents
among the many vehicles in attend
ance at the park aud the preven-
tion OF needless driving on the home
return.

When calamity howlers and despis'
ers such as these are go about sowing
seeds of discord and dissension, why
should Hawaians be blamed for har.
boring a feeling of resentment against
such a lot? AS is generally the case,
these howlers have nothing at stake
here in the country. But for Hawaii
ans, their all and their interests are
here, for they know no other country
than these Islands as their home. 1t
is here that they were born and bred,
and therefore, they have every reason
to feel, even if beaten for the time, al
though there are many of them on the
successful side, to receive a certain
amount of recognition, not as police
men and road makers, but on the same
plane as any of their white friends,
for there are yet many left to them
aside from these howlers and despis.

ernor himself

Certain remarks, made in barrooms
by certain incautious white men, have
been brought to our notice where
these men have asserted that now,
since the election, they have got the
natives down, they mean TO keep and
hold them down for good and forever
from now on and that they do not in
tend to ever again let the "kanakas"
nave the upper hand of them in the fu-
ture. These remarks are in perfect
line with what we have repeatedly in
sisted lately that when they gain the
uppercrust of things. they mean to
hold it and, at the same time, rule with
an iron grip. There's no letup in
their natures, and we don't blame
them if they can hold ON to their pow
er w4-.ch they have gained by coer-
cion of the native element.

1t is fortunate, to certain degree,
that calamity howlers did not gain the
vative enough to concede some fair
ness to Hawaiians, whites born and
bred in the country together with tho
native Hawaiians. Should these ca
lamity howlers not feel conScated, tho
world is wide enough for all of them
to go and seek their fortunes else
where, but Hawaiians and their
friends are contented to live and end
their days here.

Thanksgiving, in the whirligig of

with the proclamation of the Governor
of this Territory, will be a(day "desig-
mated as a day of General Thanksgiy-
ing and directs that all public offices
be closed on that day. for which lat

offering will be given by each and

mention of sackcloth and ashes for
past transgressions, nor that prayer
and fasting shall be given to the Giver
of all good in eXtenuation of any sins
of commission or omission committed
during the past period. a grander,

THE ACHI RESOLUTION.

Regarding the wisdom of Senator
Achis resolution of yesterday pertain
ing to the preparation of County and
Municipal Acts for presentation to the
next regular session of the Legislature,
we tacitly approve. But the strenuous
opposition displayed by his party dis
tinctly showed that the matter was of
his own doing without previous consul
tation with those OF his colleagues in
caucus, and he stayed with it till
brought to the test, whereat he forced
his friends and was in turn supported
by his opponents. And had it not
been for their united support, the res
olution would have been relegated and
probably referred to only as part of
the record of what might have been
done, but was left undone, uncomplet-
ed and deferred. But instead, it has
become fact.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-11-26

We feel that in the entering of this
wedge, the extraordinary nature of
this special session would be lost if
further attempts of the kind should be
made and passed upon. But the ma
jority must bear the brunt of it, which
the minority took advantage of by car
rying it solidly with the introducer's
lone assistance, for without them, it
would never have been carried. And
yet, the Republican party may place
the blame for it where it should and
ought to be, and that is with the Gov
ernor himself.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-11-26

The opposition of the Republicans
was mainly on the ground that 1t was
a matter entirely outside of the calling
of the Senate together, which was ap.
parently called for specific object
and purpose, but, as we have previous
ly stated, the call seemed vague, indis-
tinct and hazy as regards the specific
purpose, and which can only be taken
by way of inference and implication
One may seek to infer or imply a spe-
cific purpose, but such is neither clear,
distinct nor Ineligible. The intention
may be there according to implication
and inference, but the sole purpose for
which it was intended is lacking in
clearness and distinctness of detail.

become a fact.

The Bulletin referred to it that ''it
is highly probable indeed that the vote
of Home Rule-Democratic Senators
was given the measure largely because
they thought they could thereby put
Republican Senators on record against
county and municipal government"
We did think so at the time, but now
We do not. At the first view of the
matter, it would really look that it was
a test of the sincerity of the Republi-
can party, but after further consider
alton, we believe that no such test
was intended other than to get an in.
sight into whatever measures of the
kind may be brought up. Whatever
were the thoughts of those who voted
Tor + we do not know, but it is certain
TO be known later as we grow older in
the game.

There will be, however, hiatus in
the praise offering of many when
judged from religious standpoint and
TO them the Advertiser may well ap-
ply, the question-Why did you not go
to church? The proclamation of the
Governor gives us and our employees
a needed respite from our labors.
Thanks!

These incautious brawlers further
asserted, so the report goes, that the
Caucasian race was destined to rule
the whole world, and that the brown
and dark. races are subservient to
them and were not inteQded to rule
over them, 1t is just such remarks
as these are that create and cause
trouble among all classes here in this
cosmopolitan community, particularly
among the browns and whites. They
are mainly made by irreconciliable and
irresponsible parties who now see a
chance of slapping the Hawaiian in
the face, although at one stage, not SO
very long ago passed by, they patted
him on the back in order to get his
vote, and when they have got it and
placed them in power, they now say,
as these, are reported to have said in
clustering way and with much gusto,
what they did not dare say while the
campaign was on, But we believe
them capable of showing such a nature
wherever they are.

One thing we feel certain, and that
was the view limited at by Senator
Baldwin, that it was move to saddle
the expenses of their preparation upon
the incoming Legislature. 1t looks so
at glance, for the introducer of the
resolution is schemer of no mean
capacity. However, Mr.. Achi had the
courage to introduce it in spite of his
party and he carried it through with.

involve the expenditure of more than
$500 600 and will increase the water sup

The water is brought by gravity dis

There are six siphOn pipes and 1000 feet

a heavy outlay for maintenance. The
new supply is to be brought from the
