BEARS CLOSE WATCHING.

1t is matter we'll known that the
McCandless Brothers are largely inter-
ested in the Hawaiian Electric Co.
This brings up a recollection to ref
erence we made as late as the 18th Of
last month, used by us as coming from
political friend of Senatorial Candi-
date McCandless, but of the mission
airy persuasion. 1t bears repitition and
here it goes: did you ever know any
of the McCandless boys to work for
anything without their reaping moth
ing? Whenever you find any of them
working hard for anything, as Line is
doing, for he is really hard working
and saving fellow, he is not doing it
for nothing, but for what there is to be
made in it. That is their record" The
energy shown by Mr.. McCandless is
proof conclusive of the above. And we
are dead sure and right in surmising
that if he was elected, he will closely
watch the interest of that soulless
corporation. On this score alone, he
bears watching yes, and on the alert
too, for he will surely, if we are not
mistaken, make try to save that cor
of expiration, in order to protect the
shekels invested therein to the pub
lies continued detriment The Nc
Candlesses have a perfect right to
protect their ducats intact so as not to
shrivel their pocket income, and at
the same time to ignore the public in
terest in the protection >sf life and
property, but it should not be at pub
lie expense and inconvenience. Apart
from the foregoing allusion and refer
ence, we all the more believe the truth
Of the assertion hereinabove quoted.

TOPICS OF 1HE DAY.

Be it remembered that the fran
chise of the Hawaiian Electric Co. will
soon expire by limitation We under
stand that those interested in that
soulless corporation is trying hard to
move heaven and earth in favor of the
Republican party. If they are really
doing so, they should be taught a
good lesson.

THE BORROWING POLICY.

Nowhere on the Mainland, so we have
been told, is the ancient Hawaiian
policy of borrowing money from others
in order to carry on certain needed,
and perhaps, not urgently needed pub
lie works, looking to the next Legis-
lature for reimbursement without in
terest. 1t is clearly an un-American
policy and should not be tolerated
much longer. How comes it that this
state of affairs should be permitted to
exist much longer? If one such claim,
should it be presented hereafter, is
turned down, those who made it pos
sible for the government to borrow will
be brought to their senses in q good
round and sharp turn that they will
not attempt to do it again nor soon for
get it.
