Who Is this prominent lawyer who

Hawaiian bill' The publication of the
, letter was delayed till after the election
for reasons kIvhi It wns delayed '111

tho prominent lawyer to rcfuso to al
low the use of bis name.
Dr. Raymond has the energy, foreo
of character and medical ability to
make a first class president of the
Board of Health. Ills administrative
business ability Is what will be put to
the most Bcvcro test In making n sup
cess of the Hoard's work. In this lino
Dr. Raymond In common with raoit
physicians Is entering n field In which
ho has had little opportunity to try his
pace. Tho opening offers to make a
record, and Raymond will have th
best wishes njid cordial support of the
community.
The appointment of an Iowa man tu
the position of Internal Revenue Col
lector fulfills the Uulletln's prcdlctlo-i
that local candidates for such Federal
'ofilces might Just ns well save the en
gy they waste In making a canvass for
the place. The Tcrrrltorlal law gave
bo many of the oinces exclusively tu
citizens of the Territory that It Is use
less to expect the outsiders will allow
their share to be taken up by local citi
zens. The election result nlsg.lrlcllnes
to convlnco Federal authorities that
" raoro Republicans art needed tu Ha
waii.

v" npmnrratlp mmmltt
the Republican and
Democratic committees In declining to
cooperato with tho Independents js
party representatives, places the pre
liminary construction of the Honolulu
charter Just where It ought to be. It Is
now to be hoped that the Independent?
representing the majority power In the
Legislature will call upon leading citi
zens Irrespective of party affiliations li
cooperate In framing tho charter. This
ought to result In n discussion of the
situation free from any party political
bickering at the outset. It ought to
further assure a charter commission
cifry member of which Is honestly !n
facor of decentralizing tho government
of the city. Let the political play for
place bo left to tho sessions of the
Legislature.
Almost without exception the com
znents on the Hawaiian election mtuo
by the Mainland press show a complete
misunderstanding of tho local nttltuiin
on tho franchise question. This Is dus
largely If not entirely to tho mlsrep
rcsentatlon made by tho parly de
patches statlnc that the election of
Wilcox had been the signal of an Im
mediate movement upon Congress to
place n restriction on the vote. Such a
plan has never been thought of, ex
cept possibly by tho small cotcrlo who
opposed the liberal franchise from the
first. Hawaii would Indeed mnko an
exhibition of Itself requesting Congress
for franchise restriction only two yea's
after flooding tho country with lltcia
ture to demonstrate thatjlie Hawatt.iu
people are as capable of exercising tho
privileges of American citizenship us
the average citizen of Doston.
Judge Had to Pay.
A certain Judgo went to the office of
the Wall, Nichols Co, this morning una
asked, for a logo at the Opera lions?.
He was told that both of the loges ha 1
been engaged for the concert Saturday
night Just then Wray Taylor came to
the rescue and told tho Judgo he ought
to take one of tho boxes. Tho Judpe
did not see It that way, Mr. Taylor
then proposed that they match to see
who would have to pay for the box,
The Judge agreed to this plan and the
coins were tossed, The long and shmt
of tho whole thing Is that the Judgo
had to pay for tho box.

When I'titiKtrM stnirk I lie sinOI
properly itMllf)i-ntlon fur the snfTrncol

It wns prmlleteil by Hie Anitilrnti r-sl-'
lHls of Hawaii that this step. V i II
mtanl though It nn. would result un
favorably to llnnallati Interests.
This Is Just what has happened, tin
tWilon day. Nov 0, Hawaii chose ltn
flrot Delegate to Congress and Its II mt
Territorial Legislature. All the candi
dates for Delegate were natives of ll.
nail. The Republican nominee, was
Samuel Parker, an able lawyer of halt
Hnwnlan half white origin. The Hem
oeratlc randldato was l'rlnco David, ut
noble llnwa'lan Uncage. The Indepen
dent or Royalist candidate was the
least capable and dcscnlng of the thrto
a half-white adventurer ainl profes
sional revolutionist known as ltoheit
Wilcox. It Is this Wilcox whom Ha
waii has chosen ns Its first Delegate to
Washington.
In other words, the Hawaiian oUrs
hnve made the very worst choice thei
was open to them. They have sent li
the National Capital a discredited fac-
tlonl.it, notorious in past years for his
opposition tu American supiemncy. anJ
n type of the basest element In the ar
chipelago. The one redeeming feature
of this man's election Is that It wim
uMompllshcd by a very small plural
ity thus proving that the native Hi
waltans of the Kanaka race did not
vote solidly against the Americans.
There nre nbout three thousand Am
ericans resident In Hawaii and fully
thirty thousand natives. The require
ments for suffrage are merely ability
to read and write the Kngllsh or Ha
waiian langunge. Thus the frnnchUu
Is as open to the ordinary Kanaka ai It
I to tho American college professor or
planter or merchant. Thanks to the
good schols which tho Americans have
maintained In Hawaii for generations
tery few of tho Kanakas arc Illiterate
It was In their power to Bwccp the
whole field If they stod together am
to bury out ut sight tho Republican
and Democratic candidates. That tin
have not done so that the Independent
Royalist nomine wins by n perilously
narrow margin shows conclusively
that many of the Hnwallans, and tiny
piesumnbly the most Intelligent and
substantial, have withstood the rare
cry and voted not ns Knnakns but r:
American citizens.
Of course, so far ns the I'nlted Stnte
Itself Is concerned, this Hawaiian faux
pas makes not the slightest different
"Rob" Wilcox piomlses the credulous
Kanakas wliP supported him that If h
were elected Delegate ho would see tint
Ltlluokalani were restored to titr
throne! He probably owes his victory
to this absurd electioneering, but when
he gets to Washington, If his future Is
to bo Judged by his past, ho will poe
as an American of Americans and nn
original and uncomprnlslng nnnexa
tlonlst. The man will, however, na
turally be mistrusted. He will not be
able to accomplish half as much for
Hawaiian Interests ns his Republican
or Democratic opponent would hac
been.
So the evil consequences of the blu.i-
der will fall entirely upon Hawaii It
self. Thanks to unrestricted suffrage
tho Royalists control nlco tho new lid
wallan Legislature. They will un
doubtedly devote their whole energl"s
tn tearing down tho admirable system
of llnaucc, education and government
which the American missionary nnd
mercantile Influences have erected, The
Royalist party in Hawaii Is tho pagan.
reactionary party, the party of tho lot
tcry and opium rings, the party of gen
eial license and benlghtedncss. It has)
been kept under for many years by tha
superior courage and organization of
tho American element, which It hates
as tho lawless class In every cummin
Ity hates the men who stand for order
"and havo tho power to enforce their
will.
There is one safeguard, however.
ngalnBt reactionary nnd destructive
legislation In the veto power of Gov.
Dole, representing the Government In
Washington. This will go far to kep
llfo and prospeilty secure In Hawaii
until the natives come to their sob-r
senses. "Imperialism" Is a grotesquely
Inaccurote word for a political system
which enables tho Kanaka royalists tr.
send an anti-American fllibusterer as
Hawaiian Delegate to Washington.
This may not 'jo a good system, hut
"Imperialism" Is not tho term by which
It can bo described. Tho truth Is that
we have been liberal with Hawaii
over-generous,, not to our own harm,
but to the grave Injury of Hawaii's
own interests.
The white people of Hawaii and tho
Christian natives will probably demand
now sorao restriction on the suffrage
which will prevent a relapse toward
the corruption and licentiousness of
the repudiated monarchy.

OUTVOTliO DIXIVEKims.
N. Y. Evening l'ost.J
Hawaiian election returns are Just In.
and show that the ungrateful natlm
stood together nnd outvoted their white
delUereis. Not only did they elect
their Delegnto to Congress, but carried
the Hawnlljn Legislature as well, si
that nothing but Gov. Dolo's veto will
now prevent tho frightful evil of a gov
ernment of Hawaii by Hawallans. Mo
wonder thnt the beaten whites prompt
ly dcclaro that tho natives have shown
themselves "unfit for tho suffrage," and
that Congress must Immediately Inter
venc to take It nwny from them. Self
government, new style, means u" doe u-
readiness to let the minority exploit Hi
majorln :and If tho majority obJct v!i
they must not be allowed .to vote nt
all. This unhappy outcome In Hawul
was fowen by the white ollgaicha
who piotestcd, from the first against
mnnhonil suffrage as probably fatal to
the snug little monopoly of govern
ment at Honolulu. Now that their
worst fears nio realised, they will move
on Washington to get their privileges
and Immunities restored by law.
