The following article has been hand

the Sentinel of Sept. 18th last;
"The assertion has been frequently
made by the Republican papers for po-
litical effect that Prince Cupid is full
blooded Hawaiian.
''Now. that is very far from the
truth, and as much so as the assertion
sometimes made by stock dealers that

thirty years duration, was quarter

OUT OF POLITICS.

The Independent has been authoriz-
ed to state that the Queen is entirely
out of politics. She takes no interest
whatever in them now other than to
see her people fairly well treated and
their advance forward assured to
them Any other assertions, state
ments and innuendoes are fabrica-
tions and prevarications, pure and
simple in order to gain native votes,
but in which we think that they will
utterly fail and become political fail

hoodwink and to be very assertive.

Some full-blooded Hawaiians are
dark, some are much lighter, go be-
tween the dark and the "kekea." In
the '"kekea" class, the features are
strikingly noticeable as of Spanish
origin, the dark of strictly pure Poly
nesian, and there are even some Ha-
waiians with eyes, skin and features
resembling Japanese origin. But of
course the admixture process by inter-
marrying has been going on for gen.
erations that the foreign extraction
has entirely disappeared, leaving a
purely Hawaiian strain as at the pres
-ent day.

Putting all explanations aside, we
have striking type of the "kekea' in
the person of the Chief A. X. Paleka-
luhi, of this city. He is light of skin,
very much in resemblance to a half
white, although he is not one such, but
full-blooded Hawaians.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-10-08

1t is claimed that this "kekea" class
of Hawaiians were of Spanish origin,
supposed to have been the descend
ants of shipwrecked Spaniards in days
gone by in the long ago. Some of
them have light, reddish or auburn
hair, and they are known as the "ehu"
class; and some have light blue eyes,
similar to cats eyes, and are known
as "maka alohilohi (eyes that cannot
stand the glare of the sun when high,
or, in other words, more literally
speaking, the sparkling or twinkling
eyes, similar to the stars).

Since that the Star has asserted
again in its Mondays issue that Prince
Cupid (the leading fop-over and cham

is so, will it undertake TO kindly an

PLATFORM
Or lhe Democratic Party Of The
Territory Of Hawaii.

The Democratic larty of the Terri
tory of Hawaii re-affirms the princi-
piles of the platform of the party adopt
ed in convention in Honolulu, H. T.,
October 8, A. d. 1900:
And because the political history of
this Territory since that time has
shown the peculiar aptness and the
wisdom of the position taken by the
Democratic party on the issues local
to this Territory, we repeat the fol-
lowing:
The Democratic party, as the pro-
nounced and trusted friend of the la
boring classes, declares itself to be in
favor of an eight-hour labor law, and
the giving of all Government work to
citizens of the Territory of Hawaii,
! not, however, to the exclusion of male
Hawaiian residents of European ma
tionality who because of their inabil.
| ity to speak, read and write the Eng
lish or Hawaiian languages, are denied
American citizenship.
We favor the appropriation, by the
next Legislature OF the Territory of
Hawaii, of liberal pension to the ex.
Queen of Hawaii, as a just acknowl-
edgment due her for her great loss.
p! We favor an appropriation by the
Congress of the United States to COM
pensate the ex-Queen in an equitable
sum for the deprivation suffered by her
of the Crown Lands.
| We favor the payment of all proven
and just claims resulting from loss by
fire incurred through the suppression
of the recent epidemic of bubonic
plague.
We favor a revision and a modifica-
tion of all existing license laws. -.
We favor the enlargement and com.
! prehensive development of all the 1iiar-
bors of this Territory.
AND FURTHER WE DECLARE:
That we favor the immediate enact.
ment by the next Legislature of laws
creating out of the Territory of Ha-
wall, counties, towns and municipali-
ties
That we protest against the assump.
tion of power and authority arrogated
to itself by that creation of Governor
Dole known as the Executive Council
and declare the same to be absolutely
un-American.
That we protest against the employ.
ment of Asiatics as laborers or other
wise, either directly or indirectly, by
the government, or upon any work or
contracts to be done and paid for,
by the Government of the Territory
of Hawaii. or any government or board
constituted Hereunder.
That we oppose all efforts to dis,
franchise the Hawaiians.
That the powers of the Board of
Health be limited and defined by Leg
islatiye enactment.
On this platform with the ticket al.
ready nominated, the Democratic par.
ty appeals to the voters of Hawaii.

Be it remembered that The Inde-
pendent some time back made an allu-
sion about Prince Cupid, shortly after
his detection, that he must have had
yellow streak" in him. Now GER:
tain campaign sheet, hardly much
known, claims that he has white
streak" in his veins, and such became
known since his detection towards
those who would have readily hung
him years ago.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-10-08

The foregoing speaks for itself. But
it, nevertheless,is quite bit of news to
us. We have never before heard said
or claimed that the paternal grand
mother of Princes David and Cupid
was of white origin and descent, being
that of halfwhite, "the daughter and
first born" "by white man
from one of the earlier exploring expe-
ditions." What is the above intended
to convey? Does it mean to belittle
the nativity of our princes?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-10-08

Judge Mahaulu, who accompanied
Prince Cupid on his recent campaign
around Hawaii, says that our account
of that Hilo meeting was way off and
whoever gave it to us gave us lot
of fibs. He says it was a large and
enthusiastic meeting. Pela paha,
Judge. OF course, enthusiastic as far
as haole Republicans were concerned,
but mighty cold as far as the Hawaii
ans present who were merely there as
interested listeners and spectators.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-10-08

Blood as the saying goes, "is
thicker than water" 1t is brotherly
and natural that Prince David should
not violently oppose" his brother. One
thing, though, is safe to assert that
Prince David, as a true Democrat and
as an avowed and strict party man,
will not cast his vote for his brother,
a Republican convert at the eleventh
hour, a fiop-over by principle as
against the interests of the majority
of his kind of people to the advantage
of the minority that he is in train
with.

The Independent has it upon the
best authority extant that the grand
mother in question of the two boys
(princes) was not "half-white," but
that she was of that light and fair
class of Hawaiians known as "kekea,"
white and light skinned with blue eyes,
closely resembling the half-whites.
This seems to be logical conclusion,
for the two boys are directly opposite
TO one another in color, temperament
and nature. The elder prince has TAX
en- after their father, being the exact
counterpart in resemblance, although
of much lighter color and of shorter
stature, and the younger has taken
after their mother, both parents being
true and full-blooded Hawaiians, this
new yarn and assertion to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
