MY FIRST BRlBE

/ am n member of the House and was
elected from a country district. / am a
very fair talker, especially on any sub
ject the rights of which appeal to my
sense OF justice. During the campaign
in which l was elected / improved ev-
cry opportunity of addressing the peo-
pie and gradually got over any native
timdity I may have had and today GO
on the platform feeling that am the
master OF the school. / heard much
during past sessions Of the Legislature
Of the corruption Of members and had
good cause to believe that some OF them
did feather their nests by accepting
brides in one form or another. wish
ed that / could be elected and that
some briber would come to me so that
I could have the opportunity OF treat
ing him with the scorn and contempt
which his conduct deserved.
When the House was organized and
bills began to be presented had sew
eral opportunities Of speaking and
found that 1t was as easy to address
an assemblage of representatives, or
easier than to address the inhabitants
OF a country district with so many of
whom I was well acquainted. Men be-
gan to come to me to second measures
which they proposed and others re-
quested me to father their bills.
There was a gentleman in the city
whom 1t was always a pleasure to meet
as he apparently was well posted on
any subject and from whom / gained
points which / used in my speeches.
He seldom spoke upon any subject
without referring to similar matters
which had occurred to his knowledge
elsewhere, and the incidents quoted by
him had the effect of impressing the
subject matter on my memory. | re-

ner in which he compelled a city coun-
ell to fix the charges for water rates
to consumers in town in California
and of my appreciation of general
law which protected the people from
the constituencies charges of a corpora
ton. 1t appeared there that the COM
pany was nov allowed to charge more
in the aggregate than would produce
seven per cent on it's invested capital.
No direct bride was offered me and I
refused several invitations to eat and
drink at house maintained by man
who had pet measure to put through,
in fact had something to dispose of
to the government out of which he
would make killing. However one of
the members persuaded me to go there
saying that the dining there did not
the recipient of the dinner to
endorse his bill" After the first plunge
it was easier and things did not appear
to have the ugly blue hue which my
sense of justice had built up.
Notwithstanding my economy the
four hundred dollars for the session
soon became beautifully less through
the expensive living in the metropolis,
and towards the end of the session l
could see that l would barely have suf-
fcient money to pay my passage home.
Members began to work towards get
ting an extra session which was one Of
the things l had set my face like flint
against when I was leaving home. 1t

I tried nearly everything that was rec

a few applications I was much re-
leved, and, continuing the treatment,
l was soon completely cured. l have
felt no signs of that intolerable itching
since, and II is four months ago since
l used Doan's Ointment. To say that

parent that 1 would be in need of the
extra pay 1t would bring.
A great corporation was about to
ask for a franchise and several of my
fellow members knew my opinion in re-
gard to granting franchises. The gen.
tleman friend spoke Of had some high
ideals on that matter. He said it was
@ debatable matter whether II was not
better for the government to conduct
things of a quasi-public nature like the
conveyance Of passengers on the
streets, furnishing gas or electric light
and power, and supplying water which
could only be done by using the public
avenues. At all events he said 1t
would be wrong to grant long fran
chise which would be an incubus on
the coming generation. Also that to
insert a section requiring a specific tax
was not sufficient but that the public
should be protected against outrageous
charges. That towards the latter law
that the corporation should not charge
individuals more than would produce
in the aggregate a definite percentage
on its invested capital was the wisest
measure. / fully concurred in all he
said. One day on coming away from
the house of our host, whom we dubbed
"Col. Mazuma," one of my fellow MEM
bers asked me how / was fixed for
money. I replied that my funds were
getting very low. He produced hand
full of gold and proffered me fifty dol
lars to help me out, saying we would
get an extra session when l could re-
turn 1t to him. l took the money as
1 really needed it.
In the course of a few days he offered
mo n hnI
to go through any way and they might
as well pay Of it. He did not say what
bill, but l had my suspicious and really
was not binding myself to assist the
passage of any bill.
However when a certain measure was
brought up he asked me to assist, or
at least not to oppose It, The first
cowardly act I did was to absent my
self when the bill was up for considera-
ton. AS it happened, the bill was
tabled, and the following day when l
was present it was lifted from the ia
bic and was ralroaded through. l at
tempted to speak against some of the
amendments but never felt weaker in
my life. l knew my gentleman friend
was sitting in the audience and watch
ing my course. He waited until the adj
journment and in coming out he said to
me in the native language, in which
he is proficient. ia al no ka oe ka
laau Moo" that is Have you eaten
the catnip." l knew well the double
meaning which we natives have the
faculty of applying to expressions and
saw that he could read me like book.
1 could not get angry but his remark
nonplussed me exceedingly and 1 wish
ed to God that / was back again on
that innocent plane on which l stood
when first elected. Is the tempter more
to blame or the bribe-taker, or is it the
law in not providing a sufficient re-
enumeration to a man to enable him to
be above the necessity Of listening to
the tempter? What my. future course
will be l know not, but l have to adj
nit that l was not without good advice
and did have sensitive conscience.

A GREAT MASS MEETING.

A great mass meeting was held at
the japanese theater at p. m. o'clock
the night of 18th, April, 1903. There
was 800 Japanese, composed Of all diff
ferent business men, Hilo, Hawaii. An
opposition motion against the white
mechanics, they are nearly all americ-
aniZed Portuguese, We believe. They
don't know anything that what power
of the right Japanese had, at the time
Hawaii annexed to America and still
the power of Japanese right is pro-
ceeding as strong ever, that is said, at
the time of Hawaii annexed to
America, Mr.. T. Hoshi Japanese Am
bassador's proposition is this: In case,
If America should be annexed to Ha-
wall and in future there should be no
disturbance OF the power of Japanese
right which they already gained and
the promises was confirmed, then an
annexation existed between Hawaii
and America, isn't fact indeed so firm
ly so, it is funny that Bill Of Hack
license having had passed the House
lately and don't know wonder Is there
Governor Dole's space for any probable
remarks to sign on it, We don't think
even we, have common sense, he will
never sign on the Bill, because he
know pretty well what condition, or
what power of right Japanese had, at
the time of annexation and that is a
reason simply as far as both concern
ed. Mostly Japanese laborers in Ha-
waiian Island they have no general
education except to fit for the field,
but still they know we'll what is the
National dishonour or dignity of coun-
try. II we talk larger and in mo-
ment there would a certain catechism
between Japan and America rush an
and in consequence would, no doubt,
the question of damage partake on as
against the Treaty. For instance. we
are expressing few more lines that
how is Hawaii circulating on the bust
ness every day. May be probable seen
some kind changes on Hawaiian ISL
and, if there would great strike raise
and SO force.
If so, may be seen further improve
ment better than we have today and
we held another meeting on the 14th
April, at the same place and made the
regulation of Japanese organized in
Hilo, Hawaii.

Estate.

Suit for possession of the drill shed
lot including not only the present site
of the barracks but the entire section
to Beretania street was begun by the
United States yesterday in the Federal
court against the persons now claim
ing title to the land. The suit was in
stituted by r. w. Breckons in behalf
of the United States against ]. o. Car
ter, w. o. Smith and Mary Parker,
trustees of the Lunalilo Estate, and
against Maleakala, Adam Kaoe, Hinau
Chuen Yet and zee Chu Fan, who are
at present occupants of the tract claim
ed by the United States.
In the petition filed the land sued for
Is alleged to be the property in fee
simple of the United States and is
designated as the Barracks Lot" 1t is
described as being bounded by Miller
and Beretania streets and by Palace
Walk, containing an area of 93,26O
square feet. The plaintiff claims to be
in possession of all of this land except
ing 9O6O square feet which runs along
Mrs. Adams lot along Barrack Square,
along DR.. Augur's lot and along the new
line of Beretania street to a point on
the makai side of Beretania street, fif-
ty-four feet from the new south corner
of Miller street. The various defend
ants are alleged to claim adverse pos
session of the land above described and
the plaintiff asks for an order COM
pelling them to come into court and
prove their interest.
The suit is simply for clearing the
title to the land and no further i'm
provement of the barracks is expected
by the United States at present.

nation and thereby benefit ourselves
We must produce what they want
But as 1 have said, we cannot hope
fully look forward to statehood until
we have larger number of American
citizens living here. We must be not
only willing but anxious to induce 9TH
ers to come here and profit by their
coming. In n word, we must have a
larger population OF Americans before
we can become state. We cannot
control the policy of the whole nation,
but we may be able to influence 1t in
our behalf. We must remember that
it takes wise men to create a free gov
eminent and wiser men to perpetuatc
ii. That human freedom is most diff
cult to establish among. And so you
young men must pattern after those
who have gone before you and profit ~
their experiences You should now
commence to prepare yourselves for the
patriotic duties which will very soon
devolve upon you. To create a govern
ment that will survive and which will
prove beneficial to the whole people is
indeed a great problem, and especially
will II be so in this territory, with its
large Oriental population, and its pre-
vious experience as a monarchy, which
naturally impregnated it with ideas
more or less in conflict with the Amer
lean theories of government. But this
is now a different government. 1t
forms part of the United States Of
America, True it lies far away from
the main land, away out in mid-ocean.
In war it will be one of the first points
OF attack and in peace it will be slow
of access and difficult to reach Its
prosperity will depend largely on Its
home government and on the character
of our productions. We cannot pros
per by competing with the home people
in producing the same things that they
produce, but rather as I have said be-
fore, i'm raising that which the people
of the United States need and cannot
produce.
COFFEE AND SISAL BOUNTY.
our people practically support Bra
I'll by our coffee trade, for that country
taxes us an export duty of five cents
per pound on coffee which they will
continue TO do until the American gov
eminent protects more strongly our
own productions in that line, which I
think should and will be done. Let
every effort be made to impress the
Congress of our country with the ne
cessity of granting a bounty on coffee
and on sisal hemp.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say
the American government and the gov
eminent OF the territory will soon de-
volve upon you. Older men will ore
by one pass from the stage OF action
and you will come into the succession.
What you may then do will either tend
to build up the local government OF the
territory or pull 1t down. Everything
American will soon rest in your keep
ing. The past Is safe. The future is
alone uncertain and the American free
men OF today are alone responsible for
the character OF our government, ma
tional and territorial.
