LACK OF COHESION.

II there is one feature of the work of
the legislature which strikes the malihini
observer as out of joint with politics as

is the lack Of cohesiveness of the party

Home Rulers the Democrats even seem
to lack the strong building tie that ex-
lists in other public bodies Of the same
nature. in other parts Of the country
