The people are proud of Delegate Will
cox and he is the Idol and upholder
of the true Hawaiians. Sure Kela!
Mr.. w. H. Pain is a sore eye to the

lead him around. He is an independent
and upright man and true friend of
the Hawaiians.

grand in the distant land, We Holy
Missionary Republicans.
She was oblige>. to give her throne

Senator D. Kalauokalani, d. Kalau-
okalani, Jr., Rep. Fred. Beckley and
Rep. VIM. Mossman left by the steamer
Claudine, Tuesday noon for Laupahoe-
hoe to meet Delegate Wilcox and party.
If Delegate Wilcox endorsed Capt.
Ponds son to Annapolis and Judge
Gear and Mr.. Caypless and Marshal
Hendry and Mr.. Breckons to office,
what has that got to do with the
weather, Mr.. P. C. A? Does that hurt
your floating ribs?
Hawaii must hurry up and get a good
government and city and county laws,
and become a state, too Then we will
have two United States Senators and a
Congressman, just as Delegate Wilcox
says.

with the Delegate and just got here and
l belong to Hawaii, and / never heard
any one oppose the Delegate. All I
know was that the Delegate was re-
ceived like a King, and luaus were
given in his honor and most all the
people up to Hawaii are all good, honest
Home Rulers except those working for
the Government; but we cannot tell
what's in their hearts.
The Home Rule party is the only
party who want county and city gov
eminent. The people will not be fooled
this time by any party putting it in
their platform and then working
against it in the Legislature All the
Home Rulers will stand solid Muldoon
for this law, and it is bound to come.
Mr.. Great Lam, 1 want you to I'M
derstand that Delegate Wilcox does not
own any paper, but l want you to I'M
derstand that he is an Idol of his peo-
pie and that he is a leader of the true
Hawaiians.
Yes. Mr.. P. c. A, Delegate Wilcox
did give up his life several times for
the sake of his country and people as
he is not going to stand by and look
on and not defend his poor Queen and
his people.
So he volunteered to fight for his
rights and had numerous followers. AS
he is not a coward, like the big P. c..
A, when he makes up his mind to carry
out anything, he will do so without
fail. While he was on Diamond Head
and on Tantalus the Goats of the P.
G. A. could not climb up to him. Why?
Because they were afraid, and even
afraid of their own shadows.
Delegate Wilcox had no cannons. but
they were afraid of him nevertheless.
Mr.. P. C. A, il I were in your boots,
1 would keep quiet and not talk through
your hat. Oh, what a shame to run
after Delegate Wilcox to shoot with a
cannon and have the whole regiment of
soldiers and never captured him, all be-
cause he was fighting for his rights and
for the sake of his country. 1t showed
that he was a gentleman and a man
that really had love for his people.
Oh, what a shame to dethrone our be-
loved Queen and set her aside after she
had treated these people with great
honors.
But they have a face of gally Gov
eminent mule nowadays to go and call
on Her Majesty with smiles and pre-
tended aloha.
Now. Mr.. P. c. A, don't wake the
babe in the cradle. The more you talk
the more we wake up.
About Delegate Wilcox hiding in a
gas tank is not true. He was in the
grounds of the Palace yard and some
times in the BungaIo. He is no cow
ard, like the P. C. A!
Whoever said that he hid in the gas
tank is low, contemplate hound and
is a coward himself. Talk about Dele
gate Wilcox having heart disease is
another P C. a. farce. 1 think YOU
are the one that is having heart dis
ease, and earache on account of the
strong Kona wind that is blowing so
hard lately.
Mr. P. c. A, you talk too loud and
big for your size. The Home Rulers

lie Had to Kill a
Sailor to Save
Himself.
THEN GIVEN A
TASTE OF PRISON
Well Known Ex- tiiIo Man Had a
Hard Time of it in South
Africa.

II. Leube, an American sailing ship
oIilcef, VINO arrived here as first mate
OF the barkentine James Tuft, tells a.
long story of hardship and trouble
which he experienced in South Africa.
He was convicted of killing a Greek
sailor on the American bark PALMYRA
while that vessel was lying in Port
Elizabeth, and up to four months ago,
has been serving time for his crime in
Breakwater prison at Cape Town
Leube was for two years agent for the
Matson Navigation Company at Hilo,
and is we'll known to everyone connect
ed with the inter-island trade.
Today Leube is in fairly good health,
although when he left the South Afri-
can prison he was wasted greatly from
the powerful man he was at the time of
his conviction. He had made four trips
to South Africa as first mate of the
Palmyra from Puget Sound and was
well liked by the owners of that vessel
Then on arrival for the fifth time at the
open roadstead at Algoa Bay, where the
big shipping disaster recently happened,
there was trouble with the crew. OW-
ing to the dangerous position that the
ship was in and to the fact that the
vessels cargo had to be lightered to the
ports wharves, Leube ordered the SAIL
ors to cease smoking while they were
working the cargo in the hold. The
men rebeled at this order and openly
stated that they would kill the mate if
he dared to go down in the hold while
they were at work. Leube heard of
these threats, and knowing that he had
desperate men to deal with, armed him
self with a revolver on the occasion of
his next visit to the men at work in
the hold. When he got down below the
mutinous crew made threats that they
would kill him and became so abusive
that he decided to put them in irons.
He ordered them from the hold. Then
they showed fight. The Greek sailor
had lumber pick which he tried to use
on the mate. Finally, in the face of the
mates threatening revolver, he left the
hold, shouting at the mate that he
would fix him" Thinking that the
Greek was the most dangerous man in
the lot and that he was then seeking
arms the mate decided to put him in
irons first. He followed him to the
fo'c's'le but found that the man had
barred him out. He called out to him
to come out, but the sailor refused.
Then, with revolver in his hand,
Leube tried to break the door in. He
feared to go aft to get help as he
thought the sailor might shoot him in
the hack on his way to the cabin. The
sailors refused to assist him. Finally
the door gave way, and the mate fell
in on top of the Greek. The revolver
went off at the same time and killed
the sailor.
Leube was arrested and tried for the
killing. Every man in the crew gave
evidence against him. The jury sat on
