twill be a surprise party indeed for
all those who have watched the tactics

ances if it fails to raise a howl against

treatment of Hawaiian lepers.
Representative r. Puuki took unto
himself a life companion last Saturday
evening Only intimate friends and reia-
tiyes of the contracting parties witness
ed the tying of the nuptial knot. That
is another way of carrying out the
''home rule policy.
The evening Fire works says that MT.
SpreckeIs is incorrect or misleading at
+; n
sugar produced from beets and further
more SAYS that the Sugar Trust has
Spreckels by the throat. 1t is nothing
of the kind these people do not know
what they are bowling at. Mr.. Spreck-
els knows what he is doing and these
little small potatoes or pen wiperS ought
to mind their own business. We Will
call the attention of our Delegate in
Washington to assist him as Mr.. Spreck-
els is friend of the Hawaiians. there
fore he will get the support of the Ha-
waiians as he lived here long time in
the Islands in his younger days. We
hope that the members of Congress Will
help Mr.. Spreckels all they can.
The Morning Rag Time talks too loud.
1t seems they know all about the Dele
gates illness and when he Is going TO
the Capitol, and about HIS bills The
latest news we heard from the Delegate
was tnat ne was quite well anu was oii
his feet, but he wanted to rest few
weeks, so as to be in very good health
hereafter, and he was still under the
care of DR.. Sellhaussen, dear friend OF
his He has known the doctor for two
or three years. DR.. Sellhaussen is a very
quiet man and it not fond of talking
with reporters. He hates to talk to
them.
About Col Sam Parker going to visit
the Delegate We think he was very
kind and very thoughtful in doing so.
and We think the Delegate appreciated
the kindness very much. The Rag Time
says Col. Parker told the Delegate that
his services or his purse were at the
Delegates command for anything that
could possibly make him more comforta-
BILE. Great Scott.' We think the 'Tiser
needs the purse, as the Delegate does
not need il. Everybody knows how much
he gets month from Congress. AL
though we thank Mr. Parker for his
kindness if he did. Col. Parker had an
object in calling on the Delegate. Why?
Does not the 'Tiser know? How's that?
We thought the 'Tiser knew ALL Col.
Parker took his irrigation bill for the
water of Kohala to the Delegate. He
wanted the bill to be introduced through
him. The Delegate wants to help every
body. He wants to be fair and broad
and selfish The Delegate is still at
home, but nevertheless he has lots OF
good and honest friends in Congress to
aid him and his bills.
This bill is q good on. If it passes the
lepers will be taken good care of at IA
Iaupapa Molokai: and Furthermore, they
will get good food and good clothing ana
the best of medical attendance, and they
will be treated as human beings and they
will have the best of care. The place
will be wholly improved, and Whatever
lepers there will be will be taken
straight to the settlement, thus giving
no one cause of scare in any way at all
and the parents and relatives will be al
lowed, under the rules and regulations
Of the Department, to go and see them.
