disturbing Thwing from a deep sleep
to go blowing down the walls of this
jolly Jericho with his unmusical horn. |

Satan has perpetrated the following.
1t is no use to make excuse
When things go topsy-turvy;
An apricot is full of juice
And politics is nervy.
1t is in vain to pray for rain
81 If you have an umbrella,
For if at all it please to fall
1t hits another fellow.
1t makes me sad, it is too bad
That stars should scintilate, sir!
But am glad my daughters dad
Does never sin till late, sir!
l wonder if buckeyes have souls
And whittier wends the weather,
But let us all forget the holes
And chew doughnuts together
l never saw a moonbeam drunk,
never went grating;
But if you thought what have thunk
l think you'd die a-laughng.

1t isn't always fun to the Governor
of a Territory as my friend George
r. Carter learned on several occasions
and as Governor Frear has been find
ing out for the past ten days. 1t Is
very safe to say that the Kepoikal
mixup has caused Walter F. more
worry and trouble than all the other
incidents of his occupancy of the
Robins Egg Blue chamber, He sure
ly wants to find some nice way to get
out of the fix but where to find It
neither he nor any one else knows. He
needs a god out of a machine" and
the machine seems to be the wheel
barrow in which the $1,000 swag was
carried off.
It is the old, old story of being led
astray by ones friends In the first
place the righteous and goodly Kepoi-
kai was stirred with Indignation at
seeing Kalua in Office with all sorts
of chances to make good hauls while
easy to fix, for Kalua had left himself
wide open. A complaint was made to
the Senatorial commission which was
here and Kalua did not last long, Ke-
poikai taking his place.
In some strange manner Kepoikai,
Coelho and his gang, got hold of H.
P. Baldwin, and got him to believe in
their purity and wisdom. H. p. as
everyone knows, is a power on Maui,
and as a rule a power for the good, but
here he fell down. His own sons saw
through the tricks and protested but
1t did no good and they acted with
filial obedience when he told them to
keep off the grass.
The fight which had been brewing
for a long time finally broke out. Dan
Case gathered his forces he had near
ly everyone on Maui with the excep-
ton OF Baldwin, c. b. Wells and few
of Kepoikai's special henchmen, and
made things roar. That was when
the reappointment was on. The fight
came to this city where w. o. Smith
made the manager of the Kepoikai
forces. In the Bar Association meet
ing every little two bit lawyer, who
had never before poked his nose out
side of an office door or done more
than copy a brief, was called in. II
there ever was a packed meeting II
was the one which wound up by en-
dorsing the Maui Judge.
H. p. Baldwin came down from Maui
and saw the powers that be. In short
every possible influence was brought "a
bear to prove to Governor Frear that
the fight over Kepoikai was simply
spitefu and malicious pers )ual attack
which was entirely uniustihed
