10 be amended at the eleventh hour by
The Democratic party SO as TO suit the
views and whims of only one man
who, by information received, failed to
go to the polls to cast his Democratic
vote on Wednesday last. Such a
course lacked principle and very mucn
showed weakness, which evidently
somewhat cost them the election TO
certain extent, there's no doubling it.
BeinGaware of this action shortly aft
er it had heen done, we refrained from
saying anything. our advise not being
thereto sought, and held our peace and
our counsels to ourselves. That one
error, lack of judgment, lost them
many votes, we are sure, for it shew-
ed that they were too easily swayed
by the published opinion of that soli-
tary Democrat, and forgetting party
fealty too quickly, thereby exposing
their utter disregard and lack of prin'
ciple OF sincerity and of earnestness.
Better to have stayed by its enunciat-
ed platform as contained in its decla
ration of principles and to have fallen
together with it than has been the case
but as it is, there is still one remedy
left and that is-fusion.

One of the best compliments and
tributes made during last nights burst
of oratory was that of Lorrin Andrews,
who thanked the Home Rulers for
their "clean politics" and the Demo
Gratis for their Conduct during the
campaign just closed, but of course
not forgetting to thank themselves
(the Republicans) above all others for
their grand and glorious victory. We
admire such manly and out-spoken re.
marks, providing they were honestly
and sincerely made. But to be taunt.
ed for our presence at Republican
rally in the hope that we will be al
ways found there hereafter, we ex-
ceedingly regret most, and will say
though that in our line of business, we
had a right to be there, being of the
people and of the masses, and don't
need to be taunted. Had we felt other
wise, we would not have lent our pres
ence, whether wanted or not.

The Maui ex-Judge and fire claims
man spoke Republicanism last night,
he being of that stripe and cult But
a Home Ruler yelled at him that some
what unruffled his equanimity and
razzle-dazzied him, which almost ulti
mately foored him hoarse. He ought
to be lifted up and redeemed by the
Maui News; otherwise there would be
no redemption for him by the time he
is through with giving awards on the
fire claims. Hooray, pard!

For the now transferred official, we
can say that he Is most efficient Of
ficer who knows his business fairly
suit his superiors, and the methods EN-
ployed upon simple and unfamiliar peo-
pie, particularly the easy-going and
much imposed women who own
property and are entirely helpless in
the matter, so as to gain more whereby
the Government may receive a larger
revenue. All credit is due such Off
cials for the work that they do for and
on behalf of the Government.

But right now, let it not - deemed
that we are prying too much with tax
affairs or attempting to run that most
important bureau of the Government,
for the Government. Nay, nay, not SO;
far be it from us 10 meddle in affairs
other than our own and OF the public,
and this being in the latter category,
we have right to say, but not with
the intention of running the Tax Blu
reau.

Orders were given out late yester-
day afternoon, so we are credibly in
formed, and emissaries were sent out
securing the country to have all the
laborers under the Government turn
out IN last nights parade, which they
did grandly and handsomely. We con-
slider this conduct most perildious and
the actions of some as false being on
ly done as a mere matter of show to
their superiors that they were quite in
sympathy and harmony with their po-
litical feelings. But we will here call
to mind that the chiefs of the depart
ments owe their confirmation to the
Home Rule party, and not to the Re
publican party, and the least they
could do, and should and ought 20 do,
Is TO abstain from showing any pollti.
cal partiallty whatever. Has not "the
two Boyds and Wright" been already
accused of being Home Rulers, al
though they are out and out Republi-
cans? Even il they are Hawaiians,
and were "royalists" (oh, horrors }
once, they are still Republicans all the
same Malama oukou!

Mr.. Abraham Lewis Jr., q young at
torney, a malihini of few years
standing in Honolulu, and an aspirant
for political honors, although he is
still of an unknown quantity, made
his bow to the Honolulu public last
evening at the Republican mass meet
ing. He was introduced as law part
ner of w. o. Smith and made an elo
quent plea for the advent of young men
in the field of politics. AS an example
of their worth and energy he cited the
city of San Francisco who, to inaugu-
rate a new government under a new
charter, had chosen young man for
Mayor. Very true; but Mr.. Lewis for
got to tell his hearers that the young
man, Mayor James d. Phelan was
Democrat, was reelected three success
sive times on the Democratic ticket.
and on his retirement was succeeded by
Mayor Schmitz, another young man,
the standard bearer of the Labor Party.
The progressive city of San Francisco
has no use for Republcanism, and has
demonstrated that fact very emrhati
cally on several recent occasions.

Sure, the recent election demonstrate
cd beyond doubt that only onc-half
or the qualified voters of the Fourth
District voted on wednesday, but that
does not in the least show that it was
such very glorious victory, after all;
only fraction of the people and that
not very large one.

Having already asserted that the
Republicans only want the Hawaiians
in SO far as their votes and women
are concerned WHICH we would now
reiterate that such are only too true.
After that. they don't care rap for
them. Hawaiians should bear in mind
that their being now employed on pub
lie works is not due to the Republi'
cans, but rather to the Home Rulers
and more so, who were first on record
here and in Washington on such a
matter, the Republicans being only
trailers at the end of the cows tail

For our own particular information,
we would like to know what was the
editor OF the Star when he first came
to the country, a royalist or social
ist, even" when he was holding office
under the monarchy, and what was he
previous to the overthrow? And also,
what was the Superintendent of Public
Instruction before becoming such, was
he a Russian, an Englishman, a bas'
tard Hawaiian or a bastard American?
These questions are most pertinent in
order to find out what he has been,
what he was, and who and what he
is, whether he is the one and the same
payson. Also, whether he Is still scar

Certain departments OF the Govern.
ment were well represented last night
in the grand rally and parade for the
recent glorious success of the Repub.
lican party, such as the Public Works
Roads, Water and Health bureaux, as
well as a scattering of the other Off
cials from the Auditors and Tax Of
fees and other offices as we'll. Tho
parade was more in the nature Of an
official turnout, but who can tell what
their politics were, for there were no.
ticed men of all three parties com
mingling together in jollification,
which was evidently all fun and peas
ure, But there was stamped on that
parade the impropriety of officials
meddling openly in matters political.
A halt should be called somewhere.
Officials could do their politics quietly
without any show to gain some sort
Of favor We deem such conduct un,
becoming and most reprehensble to
