Il rnamcial order.

Thomas. tenth earl of Dundonald. at
his death vice admiral In the English
navy. tells in his Autobiography OF
Seaman eff an incident on board the
Hind. on which he served as midsllip-
man. The pet Of the ship was parrot.
the aversion of the boatswain. whose
whistle the bird learned to initiate ex-
actly.
"One day party of ladies paid US
visit aboard. BY the usual means OF a
swhip' on the yardarm several had
been hoisted on deck. The chain had
descended for another. Scarcely had
its fair freight been lifted out Of the
boat alongside when the parrot piped,
Let go.'
THE order was instantly obeyed. and
the unfortunate lady. instead Of being
comfortably seated on deck. was soused
In the sea.
Luckily for her. the men were on the
watch and quickly pulled Ler out, and
luckily 70. the parrot the boatswain
was on shore. or this unreasonable as
sumption Of the boatswain's functions
might have ended tragically for the
bird"

Now that there is so much talk ABOUT
education il is interesting to look back
and see what a seventeenth century
moralist had TO say about the teaching
of children. I'VE are in Pain to make

ito talk rather than to know, which

GUS to Children IS what is sensible, and
that we make no Part of their Rudi-

But what Is of most Significance to us
is the same writer's appeal for tech

ALL AFTER NATIVE VOTES.

If it is compatible and consistent
with party integrity and honesty of
purpose towards the Hawaiian people,
those to whom all political parties are
craving for votes in order to gain sue
cess at the polls next month, we would
suggest, if it may be accepted in that
spirit, that the nominations of G. X.
Wilder and Fl. A. Juen made by the
Democrats the other night, be with
drawn in favor of the original Home
Rule ticket for Fourth District repre-
sentatives We don't think their
candidacy has added any extra
strength or lustre to the cause
in that district. The Democrats
ought to be content to let well
enough alone. AS all are after Hawaii
an votes, their past record is very
much against them, and rather than
rake up the past nor go into personali-
ties towards them, we demand their
immediate withdrawal in the cause of
harmony, unanimity, good fellowship
and of Democratic success by joining
forces with the Home Rulers. AS Ha-
waiians votes are wanted for the par
tvs success, those with questionable
records should not be flaunted up be-
fore them as embodying the best ma
terial obtainable.

PROVED a FAILURE.

To secure annexation our sugar bar
ops who desired the change of soyer-
eighty said that white farmers could
work in our cane fields, and to prove
it colony of farmers were prevailed
upon to locate on the Eva plantation,
the most desirable for that purpose, to
prove that our Islands could sustain
hundreds of such colonies. The ex-
pertinent proved dismal failure; but
our saccharine barcns carefully con-
cealed the result until annexation was
assured, and now they are as loudly
proclaiming that Orientals alone can
till our fields. How foxey they were,
for times have changed conditions and
their views as well.

What has an expression of opinion
by The Independent of over a year
ago got to do with the saddling of re-
sponsibility where it ought to be for
the appointment of w. II. Wright as
Treasurer of this Territory? Governor
Dole is alone responsible for his ap.
pointment, although the Senate would
not have the 'uitlanders," who had
been in office too long, and rightly too
in order to be assertive, the choice
was made by way of compromise and
was accepted. But how could it be
that the Home Rule majority in the
Senate is alone responsible, and not
the Republican minority as well, who
worked hard with will to compro-
mise matters, the Governor making
and naming his own choice. Surely,
the "uitlanders" were turned down,
but there was no particular fayorite
with the Senate other than that he
was Hawaiian, although Republi.
can in his politics.

IN LACK OF GOOD MEN.

The Home Rulers have stultified
their party by nominating a Mongol-
ian, who recently got license to prac-
tice Paw in our District Courts. That's
one way of repaying for fayors ad-
vanced in the granting of quarters free
of rent, even If only for a nominal
rental, as well as other favors said to
have been made to the delegates at the
recent nominating convention. We had
expected it, for be ii remembered that
we some time ago touched on the mat
ter of the removal of headquarters to
within and among Celestials in the Chi
nese quarters. At that time we felt
that some pay would have to be made
and given in a political way for those
fayors given, granted, accepted, receiy-
ed and delivered the quid pro quo by
nominating most unpopular and un-
likely being. In our modest and hum
BILE opinion, we feel this insult very
heenly. if we may call it an insult,

Nearly the whole of the Advertiser
STAFF was represented at a recent en-
tertainment la Hawaiienne II seem
ed to us by the look of things, seeing
them nearly all there with few excep-
tions, that they put up the stuff for
such an affair in order to entertain the
visiting Senators, who returned yes
terday, and throw the burden for such
a seance upon the shoulders of others
by making it appear that otherwise
was the case. We may be mistaken
in our surmises, but such was the i'm
preston conveyed to us. But what we
do know, by indirect information, that
certain officials in high authority had
q hand in-its get-up. And for refrain,
they say-sure kela, You bet you,
that's certain. And yet you talk
about your hard times"

and that such an action on their part
shows their utter lack of being obedi-
ent to the wishes of those who sent
them. 1t further goes to show that Ha-
waiians lack the proper material from
which to pick out good and true men,
and in so doing as above set forth, they
have laid themselves liable and open to
public cehsure, distrust and obpro-
brium. But we do hope that they win
overcome the difficulty in peaceful
manner, although the revolution is still
brewing

We must ask our readers to look
over the Republican nominees, partic-
ularly for the fifth district, and then
see how clean the Democratic ticket
is by comparison. One of the nomi-
nees, haole, too, is reputed TO be liv-
ing a life only to be matched by that
of an "unspeakable Turk and he has
the endorsement OF the pillars of our
Congregational Churches. and of their
organ, the critical Advertiser.

When the Morning Glory termed
recent Hawaiian entertainment, in the
shape of luau and hula, as being that
of 'old Hawaii and it's former mode
of entertaining right royalty with food
and pleasure, it took all the breeze
out of our sails and we somewhat had
to reef them in. There was nothing
ancient nor old seen at that entertain
ment, everything being of and repre-
senting modernized Hawaii, even the
songs sung by the gourd thumpers
were mostly of recent times, during
the regime OF the kamehameha and
Kalakaua dynasties, as well as the
makeup of the dancing girls. But oh.
how did the visitors, both ladies and
gentlemen, craned their necks to see
how twas done, and it wasn't old nor
ancient either, for they were all young
and of Hawaii of the present day. Too

not be very materially changed The

informed, will be the report of the
platform committee of the Democratic
| party to be presented at a general
meeting of the party this evening at
Waverley Hall:
The Democratic party of the Terri
| tory of Hawaii re-affirms the princi-
| pies of the platform of the party adopt
ed in convention in Honolulu, II. T.,
| October s, 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 Ia
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 just acknowl-
edgment due her for her great loss.
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 revision and modifica.
tion of all existing license laws.
We favor the enlargement and com
prehensiye development of all the har-
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-
waii, 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
unAmerican,
That we protest against the employ
ment of Aslatics as laborers or other
wise, either directly or indirectly, by
the government, or upon any work or
contracts to be done, and paid foi,
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 mar.
ty appeals to the voters of Hawaii.
