WEDNESDAY, SEPT. "a, 1902.
FIAT JusTIrrA kUAT cGLUM.

Prominent Hawaiians all seem to
agree that their Queen should be hand
somely reimbursed by the Federal Gov
ernment, or by this Territory, for the
loss in revenue sustained by her, and
more particularly in the Crown Lands
matter, occasioned by the overthrow
of her government through the conni-
vance of duly accredited Minister Of
the United States to this country. But
what is strange to us is the unanimity
OF opinion as expressed by them, no
matter of what side in politics they
belong to. On the main reasoning of
the issue, they are agreed.

THAT HILo OVATION.

We have it straight from one who
went and returned from Hilo with the
Senatorial party last week that that
rousing Republican meeting given last
Thursday to ratify Prince Cupid's can
didacy at the fishmarket was very
much of damper and quite farce,
although all the Republican papers de-
clare that the rally was an enthusiastic
rouser to the kickers and slumberers
of that Rainy City. One of the Hilo
Rooters has the following to say:
'Prince Cupid has started the ball roll
ing for Republicanism on this island
in good style. His first greeting at
Hilo as the leader of the Republican
force of the Territory fas splendid
ovation. The meeting at the fishmar'
ket last night was huge success. All
the speakers made excellent impress
sions and the Republican cause has
been strengthened

When we came out with our leading
editorial of last Friday, and prior to
its being written, we had not known,
but had only heard, of the kind of tes.
timony relative thereto that had
been given to the visiting Senatorial
Commissioners on board of the steam
er conveying them to Hilo last week.
Our brother Commissioner (Fire
Claims), Judge Kepoikai of Wailuku,
gave testimony in consonant with our
views. which we deem as being most
remarkable, denoting that there must
have been some mind-reading going on
between us, although we were so near
and yet so far

Both of these Bayers or Braying
Rooters of the Crescent Bay town were
evidently very much disappointed One
did not have its expectations realized
and the other fibbed its readers about
its being rousing splendid ovation.
And a wireless message informed head
quarters here of "a rousing reception" !"
II may be that the Prince personally
got a rousing CD reception, but we
believe that he got nothing as Re-
publican turncoat political leader
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-24

Our informant tells us, and we be-
lieve his statement to be correct and
true, for he himself was on the spot,
that the whites predoniinated and that
only mere handful of natives gather
ed at the fishmarket to greet the Prince
and speakers. Col Sam Parker led off
by saying Aloha" and said few more
words and he was pau (done). Down
he came as cool and as meek as lamb
without word of response nor cheer
The Prince followed suit in the same
vein and received the same cold and
unresponsiye reception. And yet it
was a splendid ovation" Bah! Where
was it, pray? 1t may have been in
their minds eyes only, for it was not
hardly known anywhere else.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-24


Politics also figure in this matter,
but we fail to see wherein any particu-
lar party can claim the sole credit for
it. The people demands restitution,
and if not, reimbursement, and when
either is done, then may we hope to
see 'the lion and the lamb lie down
in peace together. 1t will surely help
us all politically in the end to have
one severe pain settled finally for all
time, providing it can be so done just
1y and amicably.

Her Majesty's claim to the Grown
Lands. 1t also shows that those who
usurped the reins of power by revolt
ing, through United States assistance
and interference with lawful author
ity, had no right to confiscate these
lands to public uses and benefits with
out just reimbursement of them.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-24

Another remarkable testimony is
that given by Senator Cecil Brown in
support of the previous gentleman's
remarks on the same subject. 1t is un-
expected as coming from him, for he
has been and is still a strong oppo-
nent of the Queens, both sentimental
ly and politically, and we may add
and otherwise, too. And it further
shows that time has had something to
do in the matter towards healing all
feelings on this momentous subject,
and surely time has made wonderful
cure.

Nothing else was expected from this
parasite and it dare not say otherwise.
And instead of that splendid ovation"
it was surely nothing more than bum
show and parade. The other one Of
the Rooters, prior to the coming off of
that memorable and momentous oya-
ton that day, said as follows: THE
rally at the fishmarket tonight will be
in the nature of ratification meeting
and should be attended by everyone in
terested in the election of men who
have the interests of Hawaii at heart.
The presence of Prince Cupid will have
the effect of drawing a number of old
line Hawaiians and it is understood
that the candidate will refute the state
ments made by Wilcox during his re-
cent visit to Hilo. The meeting will be
an interesting one and some plain
truths will be heard from the Prince
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-24

But our informant further states that
Charley Motley was present, who had
previously promised not to interfere
with the meeting, and the natives
fiocked around him. When he asked
them why they didn't respond to the
Princes aloha, they told him that their
aloha was for Wilikoki. Be it known
that he is convert to Home Rulism
from Republicanism and it was he, the
Home Rule convert, that received
recognition. 1t also clearly
shows that the majority of
the Hawaians of Hilo are still Home
Rulers in heart and in sentiment, and
that the men there gathered, outside
of the haoles, were Home Rulers, all
else to the contrary Notwithstanding
How are the mighty fallen and the
weak raised up"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-09-24

Since the foregoing had been writ
ten, others have given testimony be-
fore the Senatorial Commission, men
of all political creeds and factions,
even to those most responsible for the
overthrow, that the Queen was enti-
tied to recompense. After confiscating
those lands without as much as say
so that the income from them was to
be hers for life, they took that also
to recoup the treasury towards pay
ing running expenses. But now we
see their change of heart and base at
this late day. The more they are
known, the more will they be found
out.

But above all, we here assert the
cry of those ancients who believed in
fair play-"Let justice be done,
though the heavens fall" And it is
our earnest hope that such may final
ly be done and accorded her who was
once our lawful Queen, but is still our
Queen in mind and in heart, and she
is still so to us and our countrymen-
Hawaiians all and everyone of them.

Truth is really very far from most of
our contemporaries. Surely, yes, it is
very far indeed. 1t is already "stran-
ger than fiction" They dare not tell
the truth for fear of disheartening and
discouraging results. But truth will
out in the long run, and nothing can
hide it from the knowledge of the pub
lie. Why preyaricate, gentlemen 1t
is much better to "tell the truth and
shame the devil" than otherwise is
the case as most of you are doing.

Here now, we have it in a nutshell
how these "rousing" reception mes
sages are forwarded, for they may be
concocted within either headquarters
up there or down here. as the case
might be. in order to keep their heroic
spirits up whose buoyancy is fast dis
appearing. And how did the Republl'
cans manage to have Hawaiians at
tend that meeting? They did it by
circulating yarn broadcast that the
visiting U. S. Senators would speak.
But they did not. Hawaiians attend
ed to hear the visitors, and as they
did not, the natives later found ou that
they had been again fooled, as usual

white voters were concerned, but that
is not what they are after Natives
and their votes are wanted and II was

VEIL DONE, Mr.. CUsHMAN.

Representative Cushman, of Washing
ton, rendered a service to the American
people by his speech yesterday on the Gu
ban so-called reciprocity measure. He
did SO by directing attention So effective
ly to the monstrous perversion of repre-
sentative institutions which is involved in
the existing rules of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Cushman was accurate in his char
acterization of those rules as unrepublic-
an, undemocratic and un-American. r is
disgrace to the American people that
they should remain in existence
There may be justification IN parlia-
mentary law to be found for the Reed ruI--
ing on the existence of a quorum; but
there can be no justification, no excuse,
found for those members whether thay
are Democrats or Republicans, who suf-
fer the existence Of those rules.
No matter how important the question
which is under consideration, no matter
how vast are the national interests In
volved, the majority has the power, I'M
der those rules, exercised without stint
in the Philippine tariff debate, not only to
choke off debate, but to prevent the cen
sideration of amendments, however ger
name and necessary they may be.
1t is part of the history of the Ameri-
can congress that Speaker Reed applied
no other rule to measures which he deem
ed obnoxious than his individual judg-
ment, and that rule was as conclusive as
the will OF congress itself on the fate Of
such measures. It does not affect the
enormity of such power to say that the
personal uprightness of Mr.. Reed was be-
yond all question. Such suggestion
leaves the matter untouched.
A like power is now in the hands of
Speaker Henderson, and he who thinks
that that officer will not exercise it, has
not exercised and will not continue to
exercise it for purely personal and politi-
cal ends. is unworthy to be taken seri-
ously.
If the men who have opposed Cuban
reciprocity-we mean the Republicans, for
of the Democrats so doing there is moth
ing whatever to be said-do no other good
by their present attitude than that which
they do in calling attention to the shame
full condition of the rules of the house of
representatives, they deserve well of their
constituents and the country.

BUTCHERS DISCUSS
PURE FOOD CRUSADE
Determined to Force the Fight to
Compel Packers to Comply
With Law.

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
st. Paul Retail Meat Dealers associa-
ton, held last night at their hail. All
Robert street the main topic of discus
sion was the crusade being waged against
the use of preservatives in meat and the
cases against packers now pending in the
municipal court. The dealers are very
much in earnest in their determination
to take the initiative in this crusade and
compel the manufacturers who sell their
products in this city to comply with the
pure food laws. The ASSOCIATION was the
first to agitate the need OF the present
state meat law, and was largely instru-
mental IN securing it's passage, and is
unanimously in favor of it's strict en-
forcement. The dairy and food depart,
ment has declared its willingness to let
the association handle this matter itself
and instead of prosecuting the retailers
when meats containing preservatiyes are
found the dealers will be allowed to act
as complaining witnesses against the
manufacturers. The association last night
passed resolution to the effect that
hereafter all sausages and meats Dur-
chased outside the state will upon re-
ceipt. be submitted to the state DEPART
n1ent for analysis before being offered
for sale, and whenever found to be lille
gal will be at once returned to the
wholesaler at his expense This method

was particularly pleasing. His voice IS
well developed and finely cultivated. His
first selection took the house by storm

bition Of fancy dancing Several selee-
lions were also furnished by MaxweI's

cleared for dancing. 1T is estimated that
the entertainment realized over $500.

CRITICIsING THE COURT.

In passing on certain questions which
came before him in an industrial con-
troversy, a Brooklyn judge recently, de-
nying an injunction to prevent strikers
from interfering with non-union work
men, used this language:
This is not a case for an injunction
in advance of a trial. No violence has
been done to person or property. Capital
ana labor have an equal right to organ
ize as is now recognized by all senSi-
bic people. When they disagree some
friction is inevitable and legitimate. The
courts should not interfere except in a
case Of obvious necessity. Where courts
and judges of first instance have gone
beyond this it has been an abuse of
power These plaintiffs seem to have
brol ght on the trouble by ostentatiously
and needlessly posting in their factory
notice that they will not recognize
the Bookbinders Mon. Wiser employ
ers have learned that it is a convenient
labor organizations ard to deal with
Them
To the language and the decision alike
the New York Sun takes exception Yet
the average Iayman who happens to be
disinterested between union and nom
union laborers will probably readily ap-
prove both Perhaps the difficulty of the
is not an impartial observer of the action
of the court in that case. since 1t has been
involved in very serious disagreements
with its former employees for some time
past and has suffered therefrom consider
able inconvenience, if not loss.
The Sun, urging that the injunction in
that case should not have been denied,
says: 1.-The true function of an injunc-
ton is to restrain wrong -doing-to enjoin
the commission of crime or of acts of
violence allied in their nature to crime,
erty.' If our contemporary had stopped
in its definition at the point at which it
goes into specification it would have been
all right. Not having done so, it adds
ready in existence of the profound truth
OF the adage, that the man who acts as
his own lawyer has a fool for client.
II h G o b knows as little law as the
sun, ana AIdyDe less DuC 1t mas an equal
right to the expression of its opinions on
legal questions when editorial exigencies
seem to demand. 1t believes thoroughly
and cites the Sun as evidence to sustain
the correctness of the belief-that no opin-
ion has any value which is not accom-
panied by retainer.
Now having given its contemporary
these valuable hints it refers that en-
lightened exponent of public opinion to
Blackstone, whose law was better than
his politics. while the law and the politics
of the Sun are equally bad. Writing on
provisional remedies. Blackstone says this
about injunctions:
The first peculiar remedy obtainable
on this ground is the writ of injunction,
the most ordinary species of which is
that which operates as restraint upon
the defendant in the exercise of his real
or supposed rights; and is therefore
sometimes called the remedial writ of
injunction to distinguish it frAn the jul
dleial writ, which issues after decree,
and is in the nature of writ of eXecu-
tion.
