Why Tha ChOiCa Was Mad,

According to the Home Rule vernac-
ular organ, a haole Tan American
born) was chosen as the Democratic
National Committeeman over Ha-
walian. and why was it? This paper
has always urged that prominent
and representative Hawaiian should
be selected, but the Central Commit
tee thought otherwise. With all due
Difference to the Hawaiian nominated
and failed of selection, we think him
young, is unacquainted with American
politics, his political record as Sen
ator elected by Home Rule votes was
more Republican than he was Demo
cratic and Home Ruler; and further
more, he is an insincere Hawaiian,
who makes promises and never fulfils
them, and has no use whatever for 9th
er Hawaiians whom he considers not
of his class and society But the hao
lie, selected by the Democratic Cen
trail Committee to fill the vacancy of
the unexpired term of the late Col. w.
H. Cornwell, we consider as good as
any Hawaiian, because all his inter
ests are here, his family belongs here
and he has lived and spent the best
part of his life among us. His selec-
tion was not because he was haole,
but because he was deemed better
man for party interest, being right
here on the spot and not away on Ha-
waii, where it is hard to get word or
to personally see him. There was no
race or class distinction made in the
choice.

When the train stopped at Argenta two men near Williams seat got into an argument over goods alleged to have been shipped by one, for which the other. who claimed to be the agent, demanded freight charges. The al. legged merchant said he had nothing but draft on a Chicago bank for $500 and asked the farmer if he would ad- vance $500 and hold the check until he could get it eashed Williams agreed and the men left the train. The train pulled out without the two men and when 1t had made the belt of the city. Williams became uneasy at having as he supposed S300 of the mans money and got off to hunt him to return it. When he told his story he was in- formed that he had been buneoed and that the check was worthless. After vainly trying to find the men, he took the next train west, having told his family to wait for him at Holdenville
