troll, and by commissioning them for
two years indicated the Legislative de-
sire to give them a fixed and certain
tenure of Office. The viii of the Legis-
lature thus expressed has been abso-
luteIy defeated and set aside in both
particulars by the extraordinary inno-
walton introduced by the present Exc
cutive of this Territory.
AS things now stand, if the Executive
branch, of the Government has any
private or special reasons for securing
the prosecution of any particular citi-
zen or influencing the judgment of the
court in any particular case, this policy
OF holding undated designations from
the Magistrates opens the way for the
accomplishment of such purposes with
a vengeance.
These district and police courts are
the courts that come in closest contact
with the people; though inferior courts
in one sense they are in another sense
the most important courts that we
have. The manipulation of these courts
by the Executive branch of the Govern
rnent was one of the chief causes lead
ing to the Revolution of 1887, and the
adoption of new constitution. Yet
King Kalakaua never dreamed of go
ing to the lengths that the present Exc
cutive of this Territory has gone in the
and control of these Magis-
trates.

L. A. ANDREWS LETTER.

| hold in my hand an interesting let
ter from L. A. Andrews, Sheriff OF the
Island of Hawaii, addressed to one of
his police officers located on that is
| land. The letter is written in Hawai-
| ian; translated into English it reads as
follows:
| The letter commends the police officer
| TO go to the Republican committee of
his district to get its endorsement for
the position he holds, the same to be
sent to the main committee at Hilo.
These things are being done at the in
stance of the Executive of this Terri
tory who desires to promote the well
fare of the Republican party in the
Territory
! The vital significance of this letter
| is that under the policy of the pres
| ent Executive men cannot hold office
until they have secured the recon-
mendation of the machine, and we
know what that means. Tt is not
enough that a man should be a Re-
publican; he must be a good Repup-
1ican. In other words he must be an
administration Republican, which in its
| final analysis means a man VINO will
| forego his own convictions and act
against them when ordered to do so
| by the machine. This means dis
tinct impairment and lowering of the
standards of the civil service; it means
| less efficient officers; it means officials
of lower morals. Tt calls for the ex-
clusion of those who will not surrender
their independence of thought and ac-
ton to the control of others and it
| invites in the class that will.
| The filling up of a Republican con-
vention with Office holders under the
personal leadership of the Attorney
General to defeat Mr.. Cecil Brown
shows the growing tendency of the
Executive to absorb all power and 10
suppress and blacklist men in public
| life who do not propose to be dictated
to by the Executive or any one else.

CASE OF CECIL BROWN.

The Democratic party has nominated
but two Senators for the Island of
Oahu, leaving the third position vac
ant because the Democrats desire to
vote for Cecil Brown in order to place
themselves on record as protesting
against executive interference with the
conventions of the people. Mr.. Brown
was and is a Republican and, there
fore. the Democrats have not nomin-
ated him or endorsed him but they
have left the members of the party
free as citizens to go and register
their conviction on the issue thus rails
ed between the Executive and Cecil
Brown. And this they do, not for Mr..
! Cecil Brown or to help him out in
dividually, but because his fight is
also the fight of the Democratic party,
his defeat means our defeat: his vic
tory means our victory; it aids the
| Democratic party in its plan to resist
the interference by the Executive with
the Legislative branch of the Govern
ment.
Coercion works evil both to the men
who use it and to those against whom
/ it is used. A party using coercion has
to keep using it and generally has to
extend its use to hold its own and with
coercion comes intolerance of public
and private criticism. Men who are
using coercion and intimidation to Sc
cure the support Of office holders. who
are using the public patronage to
| bribe and demoralize voters. naturally
dislike to have the light turned on,
naturally dislike investigation, natur-
ally dislike open criticism. How many
times during the last year have we
found Republicans criticising the Exc
cutfve in whispers and with the EN-
phatie injunction that you are not tc
mention their names2 How many
times have we found them looking
around TO make sure that nobody wa
standing by to play the part of tall
bearer? The existence of such condi
tons are offensive to every right mind
ed, self-respecting citizen, and al
should welcome the advent of tn
Democratic party which proposes t
turn the light on to everything an
TO declare its convictions in regard l
Executive aggress1ons in the broa
daylight and before the eyes of al
, men, which is the privilege and dut
OF American citizenship.
There is no cowardice equal to IN
cowardice of a political push whe
riding down in combination any on
individual who dares to differ or or
ijeet. The violent and personal abus
Iof Mr.. Cecil Brown by the Republica
machine is the time honored method {
the machine in attacking independent
of thought and is in marked contra:
to the we'll known scomplacency of II
machine to corruption and bad me
and bad citizens. provided those ba
men and bad citizens stand pat wit
the machine.
