NO Backward StepI

From Prrsdcu Roos'rSlrs annual rsISaos OF i9na.
Whenever either corporation, labor union
or individual disregards the law or acts in
q spirit Of arbitrary and %tyrannous inter-
ference with the rights Of others, whether
corporations or individuals, then where the
Federal Government has jurisdiction II will
PEE to IL that the misconduct is stopped,
paying not the slightest heed 10 the position
or power Of the corporation, he union or
the individual, but only TO one vital fact
sthat 10, the question whether or not the
conduct of the individual or aggregate Of
individuals is in accordance with the law
Of the land,
Every man must be guaranteed his lib
trty and his right to do as he likes with his
property or his labor, Sc long as he does
not infringe the rights Of others. No man
10 above the law and no nan Is below il;
nor do va ask any mans permission when
We require him to obey Il. Obedience to
the Law is demanded as a right, not asked
as a favor.
We have cause as a nation 70 be thankful
for the steps that have been so successfully
taken to put these principles into effect.
The progress has been by evolution, not by
revolution. Nothing radical has been done;
the action has been both moderate and
resolute. Therefore the work will stand.
There shall be no backward step.

An opinionater IL his own conhdant. that
maintains more opinions than he Is able to
support. They are all bastSrds commonly
and unaWfully begotten: but being his own
he had rather. out Of natural affection. take
any pains, or beg. than they should want q
subsistence. The eagerness and violence
he uses to defend them argues they are weak,
for II they we're true they would not need il,
How false soever they are to him. he lie true
70 them. and ss all extraordinary affections
OF love or friendship are usually upon the
meanest accounts. he Is resolved never 10
forsake them, how ridiculous soever they
render themselves and him to the world.
lie Is a kind OF knight errant that is bound
BY his order 10 defend the weak and distressed,
and deliver enchanted paradoXes that are
bewitched and held by magicians and con-
Jurors In invisible castles. He affects to have
his opinions as unlike other mems a. he can,
no matter whether better or worse, like those
that wear fantastic clothes Of their wi de-
vlsIng. No force OF argument can prevail
upon him. for. like a mAdman, the strength
of two men In their wits cannot hold him
down. His obstlnaoy grows with HE ig-
noranee. for probability has so many ways
that whosoeInr understands them will not
be confident Of any one, He holds his opin.
ions as linen do their lands, and though his
tenure be litlgious he will spend all he has

urged them to vote for the haole,
equally with the Hawaiians on the

As to the Legislature, Mr.. Harvey
said there could not be good form OF
government if it was always one-sided.
If it was always Republican, the Re-
publieans did as they pleased because
there was nothing to check them. The
Democrats had good men on their Sen
atorial ticket, and they should be sent
to the Legislature. If the Republicans
have any good measures to present, no
Democrat viii oppose it. Governor
Frear need have no fear about that
part of it.
Mr.. Harvey said the Laborula leaders
were not sincere. Kalauokalani and
Achi had selected lot of Republicans
to endorse and forced the Laborulas to

Mr.. Harvey concluded by saying that
in the oratory of the Republicans
favoring Kuhio for Congress, the Re-
publicans were indulging in a lot of
nud-slinging, and especially against a
candidate who paid his taxes on his
lands. IF the Republican candidate
could not pay his taxes, he had better
not go to Washington. Anyhow, he
thought the people would rather keep

line and open threats of a government

Harvey Den0unces the
Color Line.

Judge Edings is one of the bes-
lawyers in the Territory. Our firm ha.
engaged him on many of our big case:
on which he wrote the briefs. These
briefs were so good that Judge Hart
well remarked to me that the briefs
coming from our Office by Edings wers
extra good.
I'm the law business there are two
ends, the light one, where the attorney
flashes before the public eye; and the
heavy one. that does not show on the
surface, but who does the big work;
Judge Edings belongs to the latter
class.
"The County Attorneys Office re-
quires man of Edings' class because
of grave questions coming up on the
Interpretation of the new municipal
act. Edings will save the county thou
sands of dollars. From the speech of
Edward Ingham at the Democratic
meeting at Kakaako, quoting w. A.
KINNEY.
Edward Ingham, at the Democratic
meeting at Kakaako Saturday night,
made a strong appeal to the voters for
Judge Edings for City and County At
torney. He pointed out that the City
and County Attorney is not merely the
prosecutor on behalf of the public in
the police court, nor even in the cir
cult court, but that he is the legal ad-
wiser of the Board of Supervisors and
the other city and county officers, and
that in inaugurating the municipal form
of government there is likely to come
up a number of important legal ques-
tons, and hence there was the need
of a capable lawyer.
GAS to lawyers and legal matters,
said Ingham, "no ones judgment
stands higher in this community than
w. A. Kinney's. Listen to what he
says about Judge Edings, the Demo
cratic candidate for City and County
Attorney: Judge Edings is one of the
best lawyers in the Territory. Our firm
has engaged him on many of our big
cases, on which he wrote the briefs.
These briefs were so good that Chief
Justice Hartwell remarked to me that
the briefs coming from our office by
Edings were extra good.
90 In the law business there are two

quires a man of Edings' class, because
of grave questions coming up on inter
probation of the new municipal act.
Edings will save the county thousands
of dollars. -

Mrs. Ateherley then stated that the
sooner the Republican orators and can
didates buried the revolution of '95 in
eident, the better for all concerned. 1t
was not patriotic to drag this matter
on the stump. 1t was not patriotic to
the Stars and Stripes, for we were all
Americans now. 1t is an issue dragged
out merely to raise the color line, and
the raising of the color line would hurt
all parties. She said party must he
very weak indeed to have to resort to
such tactics to get votes.
She said it was no wonder that Cath
cart was to be knitted. The Republic
cans threw Kaea, Hawaiian, down and
out on charges trivial besides those
against Catheart That would again
bring the color line into play, and the
Hawaiians would be blamed
As to John Lane, he had bluffed the
Hawaiian people about the leprosy sus-
pect bill. He played against the Ha-
waiians. As to Iaukea, he should blame
no one but himself for the predicament
he finds himself in. He announced a
long time ago that he would not run
again for Office. and now he comes out
g. an independent. That made him a
man Of two tongues. Iaukea claimed
jarrett was too young to hold the If
fee Of Sheriff, but in her opinion Jar
rett was slow aud careful and shrewd.
