1 gated around the wharf, ana diohS INC
beach, but it was evident that some ex-
ira attraction had drawn many men to
town who are seldom seen there.
Throughout the Konas the news had
spread that Prince Kalanianaole had
come to delight the hearts of the people
Of Kona with his well timed oratory,
and the excitement grew still greater
when it was known that he would be
accompanied by three of the best
speakers of the land.
A mass meeting in the big church
Twas arranged for noon, when the
steamer would have left and business
men be at leisure, but as Kanuha, one
of the Princes three companions, had
to leave on the steamer, he assembled
the tribune in front Of Kaelemakule's
store and spoke for half an hour to an
enthusiastic audience.
| In his speech he adjured his hearers
to earnestly listen to the words of the
Prince, of whose disinterestedness and
love for the people he assured them.
He laid great stress on the fact that
]
lature was due to it's being composed
of so few men of principles and so
manv without, that man without
principle could not be a gentleman and
was unfit to represent the people.
The steamer having departed the
great bell tolled and the masses wended
their way to the church, where they
were received and shown to their seats
| by ushers in full dress.
j. K. Nahale, the deputy sheriff for
North Kons who. by the way, seems
to have quilted the Republican party,
was elected to the chair, and introduce
ed the first speaker, Prince kalaniana-
ole.
After stating in few we'll chosen
words why he appeared here before the
people he turned in his gentlemaniy
WAY to the few foreigners present and
gave them in English concise synop-
Isis of his intended speech.
The speaker was listened to by all his
hearers with intense interest and was
frequently applauded. His earnest and
manly manner left no room for doubt
that his words came straight from a big
heart and they surely found their way
Ito responsive hearts, words that cannot
fail bearing fruit in due season.
He told his hearers that he came not
as candidate soliciting their votes, OF
as an office seeker, nor to tell them fol-
whom to vote, but that he came &c
them as an educator in this new era
OF politics which he had studied closely
for that purpose.
He explained the county system with
it's duties and privileges, its educational
VALUE in preparing the Territory fol
Istatehood, machine politics and party
Isystems on the mainland by which the
minority could control the majority
and proper use of the remaining pub
lie lands. The whole grafton was de-
livered with intense feeling, but with
out passion or exaggeration of any
kind
The next speaker was Mahaulu, who
enlarged upon the Princes speech anc
whose pleasant manner and graceful
gestures captivated even those whose
education in Hawaiian had been neg
iected.
The third and last member was Ma
kekau, Home Rule member of tie las
Legislature. He began in rather dry
way, giving a short history of the po-
litical changes in recent years since the
downfall of the monarchy. Little by
little he warmed up to his subject ant
when he came to speak of the achieve
ments of the last legislature, when he
described the doings of himself ant
colleagues in language bristling witt
witty ridicule and sarcasm, there wa.
such shouting, such laughing. sucf
stamping, such clapping as the walls o.
that old church never echoed before
With three laundering hurrahs thu
meeting was Observation-Disclosures.
