young men was to get in line on tho
policy OF Hawaii for the Hawanans"
and to get a line II one could by sny
possibility bc fastened on that naugh-
~. naughty Mr.. Achi.
The joke OF this is that all these
little Lare chaps are not iIawai.ars.
Not bit of II. But they nut up John
the unsuspecting as a sort of stalking
horse to lead the Hawaiiaas into their
camp, intending to sneak I'm under
cover while John stood spoutins his
local patriotism for the bedeft of the
poor abused. downtrodden natives. 1t
is wicked haole scheme, that's what it
Is, and 1t was too bad to fool poor
John Lane that way However it
would have been worse, aybe IL
John had fooled his people into fol-
lowing him to their own smashnient
And ii don't make 1t any better, eth
er, that that talented young poiiti Ian,
Mr. Charles Clarke. while he was lead
ing the Lane Sunday school class in
the most virtuous way that man
whose acquaintance with virtue is ON
bowling basis could, and while be
was doing war dance oil UP and
down Fort street seeking the blood of
Achi in the interest of Mr.. Ned
Adams, was currently reported to be.
grinning to himself at the thought that
possibly Ned Adams knew rather less
about the real movements of the little.
Lane fellows than many a man who.
had less personal interest in the busi-
ness.
MAY LEAVE ADAMS TO PINE.
For it is told now as a fact among
those who loiter in the shadows of the.
potted palms in the Cunha alleyway
that Ned Adams was only looking
wise, and that when the time came,
he was due to wake up to the some
what startling discovery that he had
been caught in a hot lava fiow-and
that the other fellow was pouring out
the lava. Mr.. Adams is pretty good
politician himself-but there are at
least nine things about the game that
he does not know.
However, Adams was not the only
one that was being counted out in ad--
vance by the Lane Sunday school
scholars. That war against Achi is.
certainly being made to cover a null
titude of sins. For Freddy Water
house is slated for retirement. too. it
is said. and there is talk of a remem-
bering against w. w. Harris of that
declaration of his during the county
campaign that he was "out of poll
tics" You see. there is that awkward
tendency to take a man at his word
when he does not always want to
be taken.
That is the speciality of the little
Lane fellows-unless the fellow hap
pens to be one of their own fellows.
| There is Kuhio, now. 1t is said in an
afternoon paper that he has written
Lane for help-presumably recognizing
the natural born leader at q great dis
tance. Kuhio agreed to stand out to
make room for Alex. Robertson, but
Kuhio is an honorary member of that
Sunday school class, and so anything
that he promises that might be con-
| strued against himself is to be taken
altogether in a Pickwickian sense.
All the same, 1t is even betting that
Mr.. Harris will be found very much
| in politics when the showdown comes;
and in certain eventualities he may
| be found in the room of Kuhio him
self. There be stranger things than
that in island politics.
KANEOHE HEARD FROM.
The clouds that hang dark above
| Kaneohe broke yesterday to show
the stalwart form of Link McCandless-
looming through the Nuuanu Pail gap.
Mr.. McCandless stopped in town
long enough to say that white man
most emphatically could be elected to
Congress. Mr. McCandless is a white
man.
MIR. McCandless said that he was
not candidate for Congress, especial
ly, but that he was, like Barkis viii
l,t.f 1. 10 Ri ya1
that Mr.. McCandless is a white man
and when he goes after a thing, he
generally gets it. II you do not be-
lieve that, just cast your eye over the
printed proceedings OF, the last session
of the Territorial Senate.
Moreover, Mr.. McCandless said he
was not surprised at Kuhio's notion
that the Delegateship was a life job,
and that he thought II was very like
ly true that the Delegate would make
the run independently II the Repub-
licans did not nominate him. And, OF
course, he will. That has been known
TO the little Lane fellows all along
and to the rest of us for as long as.
We have been sizing up the situation.
Mr.. McCandless throws a bouquet to
Alex. Robertson. who isn't getting
much else these days, poor man, and
then proceeds to demonstrate TO all
who may care to listen that "A mistake
Was made In electing kuhio In the
iirst place.
But, bless his heart, everybody
knows that The point is 10 fight away
from any more mistakes. That Is the
problem that confronts the whole
bunch excepting the little Lane
chaps, They are all mistake, any
way, and VIII follow their own nature,
each after its kind, And because they
follow their own nature, each after -
