WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 7.-Mr.
Morgan occupied the time Of the Senate
to-day in a reply to the speech Of Mr..
sLcdge, delivered last Tuesday. Mr Mor-
gan again criticised tho President ana
the attitude OF this government In cotl-
inectlon with the Panama republic.
..Coombia still has sorne rights under
the laws OF nations" said Mr. Morgan. gHf
.fshe Is 10000 strong. sho has an
area larger than that of the State OF
Indiana. She Is recognized by all govern
lllents including tho United States, as
free, sovereign power She is the mother
government OF Panama. and. according
to Mr.. Bunau-variIla. the Panama minis
ter, We arc neither the father or the
mother OF this new republic. Colombia
has the right under the laws OF nations
to consider that recognition is premature
and an act Of war. Whether colombi
doe.; declare it to be an act OF war ls
another matter. The, third. poWe r IL not {
likely to bcsled into premature recognl-
( ton unless affected by some private
benefits. until the mother country mas
acknowledged the cessation Of It's sove-
rttgnty. Just as Great Britain proclaimed
our Independence before the close OF our
war with that country.
Mr.. Srooner asked II he had understood
rightly that we could not lawfully recog-
nizc Panama as de facto government
until Colombia had relinquished sovc-
reignty.
The Eight.
Mr.. Morgan stated that Colombia had
tl. right to consider recognition unIer
other circumstances as premature and an
ac. of war.
And / am compelled to say. said MIR.
Morgan .'thut Tomorrow. II the United
Suites government should withdraw us
fleet and marines from the Isthmus or

Of the railroad and to the passage across

sistent with her rights under the treaty

Mr.. Morgan put into the record u large
number OF letters, written by correspon-
dents of many large newspapers, which,
he said, gave the facts concerning the
overturning of the Colombian government
on the lsthmus, and which are not dis
iputed except by the President in his two
messages to tho Congress. Many Of
these articles We're described. pnrticu-

10 Homer The Emperor.

Tomorrow will be the forty-fifth an
niversary OF the birth of Emperor
William of Germany and around the
world, wheresoever natives of the
Fatherland are to be found, the occa-
sion will be appropriately observed.
Not only do Germans feel an especial
interest in the day and its significance,
but it is a matter Of real interest to
the people of other nations, Emperor
William, although still young man,
has proved and is proving himself to
be one of the worlds greatest rulers.
The strenuousness of his earlier years
on the throne has gradually given way
to more conservative line of activ'
ity, and this in turn has placed him in
the ranks of the great men of Europe

Ability Must Connt First.

Certain Hawaiian politicians think,
so we are given to understand from
reliable sources, that it is the bounden
duty of The Independent to support
them, when they are holding down or
are seeking office, regardless of wheth.
er they are capable or not for the
places that they seek. We desire now
to distract them from such a delusion
or illusion, whichever way one may
take it, that we nor The Independent
are tied up to such an extent. Our pol
icy has always been-Hawaii and the
Hawaians first, last and all the time,
/. e., Hawaii for the Hawaiians, but
not when they are incompetent and
incapable. We are not so narrow nor
so hidebound as to blindly support any
Hawaiian because he Is an Hawaiian,
but they must, first of all, be ire
proachable, fit and competent for the
places that they seek. Knowing rou-
tine and holding Office long cuts no
swathe in our opinion, for that's cas-.
lily done by any schoolboy, but one
must show that he is fit for the place
that he aspires to over and above his
former routine position. Like our
selves, we must hold others to the
same standard, l. e., if one is incompe-
tent, let him stay down and try to i'm
prove his time. Never aspire too high
in the beginning, but try to work ones
way up gradually, as there is a time
for every one to be recognized, wheth-
er sooner or later, for we have always
had instilled in us that "slow and
steady o. e., perseverance, will surely
win the race" Don't be too hasty TO
climb the ladder of eminence, but take
your time, slow and sure.

up the gang.

We are again having taste oil De-
ing governed by Executive Committee
rule and then to have 1t dictate ap-
pointments without being responsible
for them, be they incompetent or 9th
erwise. This is a sort of Russianized
rule. which is that of Councils or Com
mittees, finally leading the way to-
wards the Siberian cold mines dig
gings. AS we have an exile here under
an assumed Anglo-SaXon or Hebraic
name, one in favor with the power on
Fort street, he no doubt has had his
instruction and is to be coached as to
what he should do in the coming fall.
We surmise that those who will not
heed his opportunities will have to be
ostraclzed and exiled to our local ST.
beran fields of going without work
and to live on bread and water for
haoles, and kan0kas on poi and salt
but not tallow or any other kind of fat
or grease These Russianized methods
are un-American, to be sure, and they
cannot be held as republican and auto
cratic, although deemed so here.

cover.

Tho burglaries of last night in the
Kakaako section of Honolulu Indicate
tho presence of a band of extremely
tough characters. Upon hearing oi
the matter, the public will at once az
sociate Porto Ricans with the out
RACES but we doubt very much tha'
Porto Ricans had anything to DO WIN
them. Porto Ricans are incapable Oh
such slick work and, moreover, Wouu
not have laid such large plans anu
carried the job out on such an extern
siye scale. Our idea is that the Dur
glaries were committed by white men
who live around Russian Franks, the
house of the old German woman back
of the Opera House and in the Ma
COON block. The police should make
a strong effort to apprehend and break
up the gang.

failure will be almost as equally Ger.

The initiative in any such movement
should, of course, be taken by the
Home Rulers, for the reason that 1t is
purely a local organization while the
Democratic institution here is part
of the great national party and has
national standing. The latter will
have voice in the convention at st.
Louis and in case of Democratic sue
cess at the polls on the mainland in
November, the organization here will
have upon its hands the important
work of recommending changes in the
Government Offices. The only advan.
tage the Democrats would gain from
the alliance would be votes. The ad-
vantage the Home Rulers would gain
would be better class of timber from
which to pick for Office, more money
for campaign purposes, a national
standing and voice in case things
come the Democratic way.

The Independent is not narrow nor
straightlaced to uphold that every Ha-
waiian is fit for Office. We are not
afraid to come out with what we think
of certain candidates for office, even
II they are Hawalians, and to say so
tearlessly. Color nor nativity cut any
figure with us, but capacity and COM
potency we do believe as being the
main prerequisites for a mans hold
ing office. When Hawaiian shows his
fitness, then we uphold him regardless
OF his political faith; but if not, we are
then called upon not to support him.

The figures Delegate Kalanianaole
has placed in his petitions to Congress
for appropriations for Hawaii may
seem large here, but will not likely be
SO considered in Washington, where
appropriations are made on very
large scale At any rate, no harm can
come of making the figures high, for

OF Senator Burton, of Kansas, might
receive gallery encore were 1t not for
the treatment proffered and received
by the distinguished gentleman when
here. Upon landing in Honolulu Sena.
tor Burton was received with open
arms by the supporters of the morning
press, He was this, that and every.
thing that was good. But Burton form.
ed his own ideas Of local conditions
and refused to exchange those ideas
for sugar stock. The admiration Of
the missionaries forthwith curdled up
like a can Of milk in the sun, and it
was all off with Burton.

Since the Governors meeting, and
when Mr.. Colburn came out openly in
opposition to County government. an
inference has been going the rounds
that Delegate Kalanianaole is also op-
posed to the same proposition. This
has been brought about by the attitude
displayed by his business representa-
tive here. We think the inference is
wrong and the impression created
should not for one moment be enter
tanned seriously. Mr.. Colburn is him
self alone to blame for his expression,
and not the Delegate.

On Maui and Hawaii the Home Rul-
ers and Democrats have come to look
at the matter in business-like way.
Acting alone, neither one of those
parties had been able to accomplish
anything of worth, but by operating to-
gether they have been able to elect
their men in most places and divide
the "spoils OF Office. On Maui the
Democratic-Home Rule ticket swept
everything, despite the money and
hard work of the Republicans to land
their ticket. A combination something
like that effected on Maui should be
made here and lived up to to the letter

4 WORD as TO FUSION.

The Democrats are organizing in the
various precincts of Oahu and, accord
ing to Chairman Turrill, of the central
committee, it is the intention of the
party to put full ticket in the field
this year and to stand or fall by it. The
idea is eminently proper, but would
seem to be fool-hardy, provided there
is a chance of making such alliances
as would afford some guarantee of
success. If the Home Rulers have any
idea of fusing with the Democrats on
anything like a reasonable basis land
we believe they have), 1t might not be
q bad move to consider their proposal.
Certain it is that If both the Demo-
Gratis and Home Rulers act apart in
the field an appreciable advantage will
be realized by tho Republicans. Meth
er party, acting alone, can combat the
Republicans. 1t is true that with a
solid Democratic ticket in the field the
Republicans would lose some votes,
but the Home Rulers would lose a
great many more, for 1t is from that
source that the votes would be drawn.
