MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

The bona f1des of the Republican
pledge to pass a city and county gov
eminent bill would be questioned by
the Advertiser IL there was any basis
for it; but the utterances and pledges
of convention delegates and candidates
and the work of the Republican COM
mission show that the party has made
up It's mind to establish local self-gov-
ernment on the American plan. Bow
ing to the viii of the party, the Adver-
tiser has also committed itself to the
measure and will work with those who
are seeking the best results from this
momentous experiment
Recent events have shown, however,
that Hawaii. to be safe from boodlers,
must adopt the most advanced munic-
ipal measures. Something more than
mere home rule is wanted, and that is
honest home rule. The Wilcox party
approaches the issue following the mere
instinct of spoils; the Republican party
is approaching it with the definite pur-
pose OF government economically adj
ministered. The one wants what
there is in it, for themselves; the other
for the people.
For an example OF what the old
methods mean, read the history of ST.
Louis. where the Jail yawns for each
board of aldermen in turn. and of New
York. under its former charter, where
every public contract was made for the
benefit of thieves. Now under its new
charter New York shows a clean bal
ance sheet, the boodlers being driven
for their plumber to the private taxa
ton OF vice; and in st. Louis the time
will soon come when professional city
officials will be debarred from any pub
lie opportunity to follow their thievish
trade. 1t has been proved possible to
have clean municipalities; let US hope
that, with Republican votes, it will be
made practicable here.

The lMpULSiVE
KANSAS SENATOR

Senator Joseph Ralph Burton is back
from Hawaii with tall story about
missionary rapacity in the islands.
''The Hawaiians," says the Senator,
have been robbed by missionaries
from Boston and elsewhere, who, in
exchange for their lands, gave them
certificates that they would go to
heaven when they die. This throws
into the shade Porter Minuit's
purchase of Manhattan Island from
the Indians for trinkets worth $24.
Peter drove a hard bargain, which. as
present values per front foot Oh Wall
Street and Fifth Avenue go, has the
look of a confidence game but he was
a liberal soul compared with the mis-
sionaries, who, for a tract of land,
have given the Hawaiians a deed to
lot in heaven-that is if Senator
Burton's story is true. AS the Senator
has rather fantastic imagination and
a hair-trigger vocabulary we must
take leave to be skeptical until he pro-
duces the evidence. The Boston mis-

and their performance may not always
fit their professions, but in purity of
purpose and actual accomplishment
they have nothing to fear from any
comparison made with the disinterest-
ed public services of Senator Burton.
In bringing this remarkable charge
against the missionaries he will stir
up hornets nest in Boston, and will
and that defence of his attitude to-
ward Cuban reciprocity, which got
him into so much trouble with his con-
stituents, is pleasant recreation COM
pared with making peace with the
missionaries and their friends in
Kansas.
The Senator is carried away with
enthusiasm for his Hawaiian friends,
which may account for his fervid be-
lief in the story of the celestial certif-
icates. Zone noble Hawaiian" says
Mr.. Burton, "even in his unimproved
condition, lis worth 40 spider legged
Cubans." We doubt the impartiality
of the Senator's Judgment He has a
grievance against the Cubans, which
grew out of the ingenious opposition
to reciprocity. The intemperateness
of this dictum makes the missionary
story look more dubious than ever

ISLAND PESTS.

It is stated that, on Maui, where the
lantana blight began its work. the re-
suits SO far have been satisfactory
The lantana is dying and other growths
are not injuriously affected II. nothing
untoward happens. in the course OF the
experiment, all the islands viii soon be
able to free their pasture land FROM
the grasp of the Jungle and increase
CORRESPONDENCE the dairy industry and
the opportunities for small farming.
The Advertiser hopes that the nexf
step will be to decrease the mongoose
plague, which, like the 1antana, serious
ly affects the cost of living. If the
pasturage were again free, milk should
be cheaper and if the mongoose were
exterminated, eggs should go down to
coast prices The uplands all about the
city are well adapted to the raising of
poultry: but the mongoose not only gets
after the young chickens but it steals
eggs wherever it can find them. Not
only eggs and chickens would be plenti-
full and cheap in the market except for
the ravages of the mongoose, but game
also; for the four-footed destroyer has
a taste for quail and pheasant eggs and
for the young hedglings which he will
travel miles to satisfy.
If the lantana goes, the favorite shell
ter of the mongoose will be destroyed,
and this vii! help to some extent in de-
creas.ng the peril of poultry; but the
only way to reduce the plague to the
minimum Of destructiveness would be
for the Legislature to offer a standing
reward for mongoose heads-a reward
big enough to set the small boys and
idle men of the Territory at work trap
ping the little animals. California did
so well with the IS reward for coyote
scalps as to encourage the belief that
fifty cent bounty on mongoose heads
would be highly productive.

The japanese are perhaps the only
nation that can celebrate the birthday
of their 121st consecutive ruler, to say
nothing of his being of the same family
as his predecessors. The Emperor OF
AEyssinnia claims descent from King
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, but
his line of ancestry is not nearly Sc
definite as that of Mutsohito, erstwhile
Mikado and now Emperor of Japan
The latter, among the peculiar excep-
lions which put him along among mod
ern sovereigns, can count upon the most
unalterable and unquestioning loyalty
of his subjects. even including that of
the ex-Tycoon who would have exercis-
ed his temporal power but for the
bloody revolution of 1868.

maAwAIl NEEDS REpUBucANlsM.

With the closing of the last week OF
the campaign of Prince Kuhio for the
Delegateship, there is left in the minds
OF the people only one impression, that
when Hawaii sends a man to the great
conclave of the chiefs of her people,
held at Washington for the enactment
of laws for the control of the many
distinct sections of the country, to rep
resent the wishes of the people the Ter
ritory. she owes it to herself that the
people have confidence.
The fight which has occupied the pas.
two months has been passed upon the
one idea, what shall be done for the
good of the people. On the side of the
opposition to this is the sectional the
personal hatred and the race prejudice
contest waged by Wilcox and his fol-
lowers, none of whom have been so
rabid in speech or so illogical in con-
illusions, as the haole confidant of Will
cox, Edgar Caypless. There remains
for the people then only to weigh the
advocates and their arguments, and of
the results on Tuesday next there re-
mains no doubt when the character of
the voters is taken into consideration.
Prince Kuhio has never wavered from
his one principle. He is in The fight for
that which shall be for the greatest
roo5 of tJ,a ,,aopIa of tba icIapdS Ie
does not wage war against the haole
Nor does he wage campaign per Sc
against Wilcox or his friends. He has
stood, he is now, the representative of
progress as against standing still. He
wants to see this Territory one of the
foremost in the nation; and he is OPP
posed by the forces which stand for re-
dictionary tendencies
There has been in this fight no ques-
ton which has stopped Home Rule ar
gument more effectively, than the SIM
pie one: What has Wilcox done for his
country, or what has he essayed that
will be of benefit to the people at
large"
To this he has always answered with
platitudes and vain boastings. 1t is Will
cox who has always for his people,
and when they ask facts he gives them
words. If they should demand bread
he would give them stones Through
all the campaign runs the vein of this
Return me to Congress and
will again receive my salary and
travelling expenses, to the amount of
$1,000, and you will have the satisfac
ton of knowing that you have chosen
for the people, all for Wilcox and his
followers.
This is the antithesis of the Republic
can fight, for the leader has said only
that he wants to secure the Office for
the simple purpose that he may work
for the benefit of his people.
To the foreigners it is only necessary
to ask the question: (which is the
stand of the man who viii effect
things of benefit for all the people?''
To the Hawaiians the question is, who
in the past has worked for the people,
the ali who looked upon all as his
brothers, or the vainglorious common
er, who aspired to lead?"
Prince Kuhio is waging a fight for
right and progressive action. Wilcox is
working for his own aggrandizement.
And the enthusiasm of the people when
they hear the earnest words of the
Prince shows that their hearts are with
him in the struggle which will mean
SO much for the future of the Terri
tory.
