A PoLlTIcAL OBJECT LEssoN.

This is a good time for the Republi
cans of Hawaii to make up their minds
to nominate no more legislative tickets
; and no county tickets which represen
Home Rule ideas. 1t is clear from the
course of the Legislature that the ma
jority on the Republican side have nj
Republican. principles. They are Home
Rulers at heart-such in their ideas
their affiliations, their predatory in
stincts, their friendships and in their
hatred of the Republican Territorial ad-
ministration.
One of the first steps of the Repub-
licans of the House was to nominate a
Home Ruler for Speaker and he in turn
gave chairmanships to his own kind,
the leaders OF the minority. Then be-
gan saturnalia of spoils. Erary prom
inent Home Riller who wanted a job
got it. Even the clerkship of the House
went to a man who voted against the
Republican legislative ticket. such
creatures as Prendergast, such Wild
eyed Wilcoxites as Markham. Tesla,
Nakuina, the latter a member of the
Home Rule Executive ccmmittee-Ka-
lauokalani, Jr., Makafnai, ad nauseam;
Republican secret allies of the Home
Rule party and the rifraff of the politi-
cal beach-combers, these are the men
who went from the legislative session
with full pockets. There were not
enough genuine Republicans in clerk
ships to fill bus. 1t was as if a sign
had been put up: mo Republican need
apply. More Home Rulers wanted"
If the honest men of the Republican |
party let this sort of thing go on in
future it will be their own fault and I
they Will deserve to be robbed. Their /
arst duty will be to take part in the
county primaries and stop all schemes

oubIicans should be driven back into
