It is said that Iaukea formerly
said, when he was Republican, that
Hawsiians we're not competent for
county government az yet, nor will
they ever be. But now Re thinks
otherwise, since he received a Home
Rule nomination, something that he
would never have got had he re-
mainsd in his former party. Some
of his former political pals remem.
Der his past remarks aud are not
now impressed with his inconsist-

The people of this county demand
a change of sheriff Why7 Because
Brown has been in. Office too long.
Let him step down and out! Should
turu-table Wilcox get elected and
make an ass of himself in office, the
people will havs another go to throw
him down. But it is. doubted wheth-

A man OF the Pratt stamp does
not know what he is himself and he
has the gall OF donkey to bray be-
fore the people for recognition Els
past is against him with the Hswa-

stood by his gun under the Station
House, aud as soon as he saw which

that an old aud feeble man like Glib
son would skip the country, while
under the influence OF "bsnzine," he
pointed his loaded pistol at him
without any just cause or provoca
ton. This recollection has never
been obliterated from the writer's
memory box. And now he begs foi
the Hawaiians' support. Go to, thou

fession of making telephone con
neotions. The people are not in
debted to him nor has he any claim
upon them.

William Rawlins ia another islant
