Catarrh Cured.
All phases Of catarrh, acute or chronic,

are peculiarly afflicted with this disease
and for years the doctors have tried to

A Political Game Played

The Home Rule Executive Commit
lee played a political game yesterday.
After the Governors meeting yester-
day, they held meeting at headquar-
ters. and after heated discussion 1t
was largely decided to advise their
members of the Board of Supervisors
to stay in with the ruling majority and
hold up the Supreme Courts decision
declaring the County Act void and
their offices null 1t was held that II
an appeal is to be taken to the U. S.
Supreme Court on writ of error,
County Government will still remain
and they rule pending appeal. Why
give up the control that party has now
over affairs. is the argument used, but
we say-drop it, it's a useless and for
lorn hope. When it is knocked out by
our own Supreme Court, the highest
Territorial tribunal what is there left
for the Court of last resort to do? Even
on a writ of error, it will be again done

en- got the axe"

Much comment is heard over the re-
marks of Jno f. Colburn, the business
handle of the Kapiolani Estate, made
at yesterdays meeting with the Gov
ernor. 1t is reported that he then and
there remarked that "he had been sat
isfied with the action of the Supreme
Court. He didn't believe in County
Government and never had" We are
more than surprised that he should
make such statement, but the great
er surprise was that the Democratic
party should be blamed for his utter
ances. AS the business man of the
two Princes, the most prominent and
leading Hawaiians, the statement be.
lies them and their feeling towards
their country and people. But as the
personal utterances Of one person, he
alone Is responsible and we venture
the assertion that he is perfectly cap
able of looking after himself, let alone
being blamed for others. Those who
would blame Democrats on general
principles, because one who processes
to be one of them makes an expression
Of his feelings, would not even blame
Republicans for insincerity with re-
gard to County Government, for most
of the speakers, lawyers and business
men included, were Republicans. The
Democrats of this country are sincerely
pledged to County Government and are
bent upon having it at all hazards, even
If one of their number should break
away, for reasons of his own, from the
rest of the party. AS an individual, Mr..
Colburn is perfectly entitled to his own
views on the subject but as a Demo-
crat, his party is pledged to it and he
cannot undo that pledge.

ernment, the wise and otherwise of
that measure, and so forth, but, as
stated above, to receive suggestions
and for an expression of public opin-
ion as to how the Governor was to
handle affairs, which had become
chaotic through the decision of the
Supreme Court, and many expressed
their feelings of antagonism against
such establishment. The speakers
were mostly lawyers, with sprink-
ling of our business men, and, on the
whole, it was a lawyers meeting, most
Of whom bore out what we have al
ways accused them of, being insincere.

The last Legislature did not fail in
providing appropriations, the changed
aspect brought on by the enactment of
the County Act changing everything
into contingency, and probably, upon
the contingent ground it may be held
otherwise. A suggestion was also
made by Judge Hartwell that the Gov
ernor submit to the Supreme Court for
decision the subject of appropria-
tions, whether it is contingent to fall
back on those of 1901 or not. In our
opinion, no contingency was ever Gre
ated by the last Legislature, and ap-
preparations were passed and provided
for as submitted to it by the then Chief
Executive, who is none other than our
Federal Judge now and who led the
idea of falling back upon the appro-
priations (probably those Of salaries)
of 1901. The position is altogether
weak one and in which we see the

The business community much pre-
fer the present form of centralized
Government and they, as rule, are
strongly opposed to decentralization,
for in the latter they see their waning
influence over affairs. Heretofore,
they've had most of the say, but here
after, popularity must prevail in our
local affairs. This country was sold
for naught by the business interests
without the popular consent, and in
return for our loss of independence,
the people demand that they must and
shall rule, and that day Is surely COM
ing. II we can't get it at home, we
hope to get it away from home, and
then what will be said when it is shov-
ed down our throats, whether we like
it or not 1t will be bitter pill, but

tent with what we then had, and we

As was to be expected, the Citizens"
meeting with Governor Carter yester.
day was packed by the element oppos.
ed to county government. Only a few
of those in favor of the system were
informed of the meeting and the peo.
pie at large did not know that 1t was
to be held. The way the thing was
carried out indicated strongly that
Governor Carter did not care for a
general expression, but wanted mere.
ly to hear from those opposed to the
new idea.

POPULAR OR BUSINESS RULE

Yesterday forenoon's called meeting
held in the Legislative Hall, formerly
the Throne room of Iolani Palace, be-
tween the Governor and prominent
citizens, the latter Of business men
and lawyers principally was of vast
Importance, politically, in more ways
than one. To any one taking an inter-
est in the political evolutions of the
past year 1t meant much, because
there was no other time when so
many were brought together face to
face, consequent to the County Act be-
ing declared void by the highest trib.
unal in this insular realm; and the
first and only instnace when many of
our backstair politicians came out
openly and vented their opposition, in
no uncertain voice, to the establish
ment of County Government, whereby
the popular will might be expressed
as to who should rule them.

Consequent to the County Act being

stability of establishing County Gov.

On the main issue, with regard to
appropriations, Ex-Governor, now Fed
eral Judge, Dole was called upon for
an expression and he said that as the
Legislature failed in that duty, it was
incumbent upon the Government to
fall back on the appropriations of 1901.
He was supported in this by Judge
Hartwell, the legal and forcible mind
who revised the Act now declared void
by two of those he coached to become
legal interpreters, and in which he
failed to discover anything wrong, but
was left to his pupils to discover. But
Mr.. Alex. Robertson differed with
them, who held that the Legislature
did not fail to provide appropriations
and was supported by T. McCants
Stewart. We are heartily in accord
with their conclusions. The idea of
the first is to prevent and obstruct the
calling of an extra session of the Leg
islature for the consideration of ap-
propriations, and the second just the
opposite. And the opposite view is
the only and correct one.
