NO ANTI.RAILRoAD ORDINANCES.

W. ~ OnCifNf -
A desperate attempt is being made
by the republican press bureau. the
informants Of several republican pa
pers and the editors of several of
them. to create the impression that
the Oklahoma constitutional conven-
tion is inimical to railroads.
This they do by inuendo and broad
statements not warranted by the rec.
ords and very frequently by positive
misstatements Of the records. They
do not, for the reason that they can
not come down to positive concrete
facts.
Some of the railroads may endorse
and foster this impression in the
hope of thwarting the convention
from necessary ordinances IN the in
terest OF the people. This too, will
fail. but 10 may do injury
II was TO be expected that every
republican politician who was pro-
noting a railroad, would charge all
his troubles TO the convention. They
had their troubles before the conyen-
tion assembled. and will always have
them. regardless Of what is done.
This matter of retarding the deyel
oputHt Dl ldlliOduS iS SonlttuluE up
on which the people OF Oklahoma are
very tender. Those who seek TO dis
credit the convention In the eyes OF
the people are aware Of this fact
They propose to hold up this 6ogie In
hope OF shaking the confidence OF the
people in the conservative tendency
OF that body, aud thereby discredii
the democratic party, to their own
political aggrandizement They will
! fail. because they do not tell the
truth but they may do injury.
The statement comes not directly
but by underground telegraph. in the
shape OF printed rumors, that certain
proposed lines Of road have suspend
ed further operations pending the ac
tloh OF the convention. These will
continue regularly until the adjourn
ment Of the convention. that is all a
part OF the political game The peo
pie OF Oklahoma In general will SO
understand It. IL may iujure the ter
ritory ia the eyes Of uniformed
strangers. The people OF the ter
ritories are spotting these deiamers
and those newspapers that lend their
columns TO such vituperation.

an amusing incident occurred yester-
day when the senatorial committee
called upon the Governor to confer
with him relative to this matter. The
Senate took a recess for 10 minutes,
but as half an hour passed and none
of the committee appeared. the outsid-

place Finally one of the senators who
were outside explained 1t: "I know"

A majority which is not a majority
is the paradox that resulted in the dis
comf1ture of the Hon. H. NJ. Kaniho,
silver tongued representative from
Kohala, on the floor of the House one
day this week. 1t at the same time
afforded considerable amusement for
his colleagues at his expense, and oc-
cupied half an hour of the time of the
distinguished body. 1t came about in
| this wise:
The Democratic leader had been put
ting up a hard but losing fight to get
bill through to rebuild certain roads
destroyed by the recent volcanic erup-
ton by the flow of lava. He had sue
ceeded in getting it passed by the
House, the Senate having already put
it through, only to have it vetoed by
the Governor on the ground that it
isn't the Territory's business to build
roads. Kaniho worked hard to get
the House to override the Executive
veto but the veto to override failed
to get the necessary two-thlrds ma.
jority, although the vote stood 16 to 10
in favor of the motion.
The next day word came from the
Senate that that body had passed the
bill over the veto, and Kaniho prompt
ly introduced a motion to reconsider
the Houses action of the previous day.
He made strong speech in making
/ the motion and for few minutes he
held his Hawaiian auditors GREATNESS
with the spell of his eloquence. Then
he hit a snag. AS he paused 70.
breath some one raised a point of or
der on the ground that a motion to re-
consider motion must come from. one
who had originally voted with the pre-
vailing side. Kaniho urged that he had
voted with the majority; that he was
one of the sixteen who had stood firm
the day before. Wasn't sixteen a ma
jority of thirty? Besides one member
was absent so there were only thirteen
votes on the other side Since when
had 10 become greater than 16 It never
had been when he went to school, and
much more to the same effect.
| With difficulty the Speaker finally
checked the flow of logic, and ruled
him out of order. Then Kaniho ap-
pealed from the ruling of the chair,
and after another volume Of talk sue
| ceeded in getting MahOe to second
him. Before the question was put he
exhausted his efforts in appealing to
his compeers to stand by him, but his
eloquehce for once failed to convince,
and when the Speaker finally man
aged to get the question put in edge
wise through a small break in the Ko-
hala delegates phalanx of words, he
was overwhelmed by an almost unani-
nous vote. and the business Of the
House proceeded.

I was reading Mark Twain the other
day and ! encountered a little story
that made me think Of the Governor
right away.
Those who have enjoyed the humor
of the famous Mark will recall that
part Of Huckleberry Finn. where Huck
and Jim are on the raft, making their
way down the river and are Joined by
two vagabond takers. The younger
one says he is the oppressed Duke Of
Bridgewater and the older bald-head-
ed sinner, not to be outranked, de-
clares himself to be the late Dauphine
OF France. Money runs short and the
pair decided to give theatricals to the
rubes along the river towns, The Duke
Of Bilgewater, as the Dauphine insists
on calling him, advertises a grand
dramatic performance Of The Royal
NOnsuch. The town hall is crowded.
When the curtain is raised, out pran-
ces the Dauphine, as naked as the day
he was born. painted and striped like
zebra. He prances around on an
tours, 10 the amusement OF the crowd.
and the show closes
