TO CHOOSE FOR HIMsKLF.
at this late day.

1t has been claimed by our many Re-
publican contemporaries that young
Lyman, the young Hawaiian boy now
at West Point through the influince of
Delegate Wilcox, is Republican. That
may be, but we very much doubt it
though. His father may be one, he
being a member of the missionary
crowd but the young man may choose
his own political affiliation when he
comes to mans estate, for such is his
right, and may become Home Ruler
as a matter of gratitude and of policy
Let us now state for the information
of others that one of the Lyman boys of
Hilo, brother of this same young
man, is an avowed and prominent
Home Ruler in that Rainy City. How's
that, gentlemen. He's old enough to
choose for himself without his father
being sponsor and responsible for him.

campaign.

When Delegate Wilcox was recently
in Hilo, it is reported that he smashed
the Republican bulwards up there, and
the same happened all along the line
ON that Island. In a speech he deliV-
cred at Hilo, he said of Rev, Senatorial
Candidate Desha that who was ne but
a Republican tool. He had never
known of him, but he first saw him as
an inmate of the Reformatory School
here, and he likened that place as ae
ing the place where our chicken steal
ing children are kept for reformation.
We understand that the parson was
wrathy oyer this allusion, for it was
reported to him that Wilcox ha said
that he was placed in the Refounatol y
School for chicken stealing, which
was not the case. But what he did
say of him Is as referred TO above.
which is correct. We pity the politi-
cal parson, who should be voted to
stay and attend to his clerical affairs.
1t is said that the parson feels quite
chagrlned, for his defeat is sure and
certain.

CECIL RHODES WILL.
First Meeting of Executors Held in
London Yesterday.

London May 1.-THE first meeting
of the executors of the will of the
late Cecil Rhodes was held in Lon
don yesterday, Dr.. jameson and L. L..
Micell having arrived from South At
RIGA with Rhodes final instruction
Beside the reading of the will and de-
Gliding to prove it in South Africa, no
business was transacted, but the exc
cutors and trustees OF the property
were for the first time informed Of
the genesis OF the will which they will
have to administer.
w. T. Stead. as executor, furnished
the Associated Press with statement
as to the evolution of the Rhodesian
idea According to Stead the present
will is the sixth made by Rhodes be-
tween 1877 and 1899. In all these
wills the aim of the testator seemed to
be the furtherance of the British EN-
pire. the promotion of emigration and
to effect a reunion between Great Bri-
tain and the United States.
In no will were these objects lost
sight of, the changes being caused by
the death of the person named as f.
nancial agent or to make certain his
intentions to be carried out At one
time Stead was named as sole admin
istrator of the estate. A codicil mend
ing for a scholarship was added to the
will of 1898 and it was upon Stead's
urging that in the will of 1899 he
added the provision for American
scholarship.
