SOLES LOAN BILL
Mr Charles H Dlclcey Hopresenta
tlvo for tho Third District bemoans
In tho Bulletin of March 23d tho fail
ure of tho passage of tho loan bill In
tho last Legislature and ho claims
that tho blame for this falls on Ed
mund Norrle and Robert Boyd who
ho aajs Jnduced the members of tho
Legislature to leave tho legislative
hall and kept them away all tho even
InB of the last day of the session
Tho cause for this action he attributes
to tho dealro on tho part of the alleged
kidnappers to forcing tho Governor to
call an ejttrn session which however
was not dono to tho great satisfaction
of Mr Dickey and to tho detriment of
tho Territory
Mr Dlclcey and his political friends
aro alwayB seeing ghosts when they
nro In tho Legislature and are attrib
uting to their opponents nil kinds of
diabolical methodBnnd measures It
la true that the loan bill of tho Dole
government introduced In tho elev
enth hour of the session was lost
through tho failure of getting a quo
rum but this move on tho part of tho
Legislature was quite proper and In
fact tho only manner In -which tho
lepresontntlves of tho pooplo woro
nblo -to voice effectually want of
confidence -winch tho voters then as
well as now reposo In Dole Cos
administration Mr Dole could hard
ly expect a Legislature which had no
confidence in him or his administra
tion to enable him to contlnuo his
maladministration of public affairs If
ho had possessed tho right senso of
his duties as a citizen ho would at
onco havo resigned hoping that a suc
cessor to tho governorship would bo
nppolnted who had the good will and
confldenco of tho voters and their rep
resentatives Mr Dolo does not be-
long to tho resigning class how
over as long as there aro salary and
power connected with tho job He
sets tho will of the people and Its
representatives at naught and now
ho whines becauso public business Is
at a standstill and throws tho blame
for tho empty treasury upon tho Leg
islature which oxprosscd Tjjggjy the
want of confldenco tho peoplefeols in
his administration
To return to Mr Dickey Wo can
not holp fooling amused at his puerilo
explanation of tho defeat of tho loan
bill and tho refusal of tho Governor
i riBMmriTM i m hml u
to call a muchly needed extra session
Will tho honornblo gentleman from
Maul explain why Mr Dolo waited
with his loan bill until tho last
uto of tho extra session It should
havo boon tho first moasuro Intro-
duccd after tho Legislature convened
and not como in as an After consider-
ation No rational Legislature could
bo expected to vote a largo sum of
money for a government In which it
had no coufldoncc and for tho use of
a Governor who Is not In touch with
tho people at largo or enjoys tho con
fldenco of tho moneyed Intorests here
or of tho administration at Washing
ton which now oven desires his pres
ence to give him a chanco to explain
why ho cannot run this ono horso Ter
ritory In a harmonious manner with
tho voters Doles explanation will of
courso bo that It was a grlovous mis
tako to havo granted n franchise to
the pooplo of tho Territory and ho
will shako his whiskers in a doleful
manner and toll tho President that
Hawaii is nqt yet prepared for self
government or Its pooplo capable of
exercising a froo franchise And tho
Jntorcstlng part Is that Dole Dickey
Co really bellevo that tho govern
ment of tho Territory should by tho
Organic Act have been arranged on
tho plan of an oligarchy composed of
tho moneyed and missionary classes
only That such a policy would bo
entirely un American cuts no Ice with
Dolo Co They never wero and
never will bo Americans In tho true
senso of that comprehensive word
But wo must return to tho Honor
nblo Dickey who Is quoted as saying
to tho Bulletin interviewer In regard
to the falluro of the loan bill tq be
come law that This could havo
been dono but for the action of Editor
Edmund Norrlo and Robert Boyd
They nlono aro responsible because
they prevented tho passage of the
loan bill by inducing members to leave
tho chamber and by keeping them
away all tho evening of the last day
of tho Bosslon We waited till past
11 oclock that night but tho mem
bers sufllclent to make a quorum did
not return and for this Norrle and
Robert Boyd aro responsible It was
hoped tnat an extra session of the
Legislature would bo called to pas3 a
loan bill but In this tho recreant
members hngs I am glad to say been
disappointed
Why Mr Dickey Is glnd becauso no
extra session was called and thoroby
tho administration crippled through
tho poor policy of Dole wo fall to seo
It was Indeed a very poor policy on
the part of the Dole Dlckoy coterlo
as wo predict will be proven during
tho next Legislature If Mr Dole
should still bo In tho gubernatorial
chair Mr Dickey may blame two In
dlvlduals for the existing embarrass
ing public conditions the absurdity
of the accusation Is so glaring that U
could only omauate from tho source it
does If Mr Dickey who Is or ought
to bo by this time a practical poli
tician was In favor of tho passago of
tho loan bill he should havo Induced
Mr Dole to call an extra session of
tho Legislature notified that body of
his resignation a Govornor and be
yond doubt tho Territorial gpvern
mont If In accord with tho people
would havo had all tho money needed
for tho administration of public af
fairs The Dofo faction cannot con
trol affairs In this Territory with tho
great majority of the voters antago
nistic to the Governor with his de
fiant attitude towards tho peoplo of
this Territory If he yet appears as
Governor before tho next Legislature
ho will And that not a single measure
emanating from his administration
will bo passed by the Legislature
oven If Champion Dickey Is sent by
his admiring Maul constituents We
hope Dickey will bo there because
ho always brings with him a brcezt
of goodnaturcd and harmless persl
flago Should Mr Dole still bo Govor
nor then ho will ncod a champion
and although Mr Dickey will feel very
lonely ho will always bo highly no
ccptablo to his colleagues oven If his
task of fighting tho Dolo cuuso will
provo uttorly hopeless and tho chant
plous efforts In vuln

BlBhop Willis Bcxiuon yesterday
had tho right Easter ring In It and
sounded a chord In tho hearts of all
right thlnglng and woll meaning per
sons no matter of what sect and do
nomination More such sermons aro
worth whllo Hatching1 to as well as
being worth reading when published
Wo wero most pleaseduo see many
old and familiar faces within St An
drews Cathedral yesterday showing
that faction was for tho nonce set to
ono side But thoro was one face wo
would Ilk to have seen cvon though
unllccnsed at present to show that ho
had no feeling of resentment but
rather ono of contrltlpn and Christian
charity
As far ps tho candidacy of August
Dreler -is concerned thdro is now no
withdrawal and even If It Is held late
that Mr Dreler Is Ineligible ono
thing wo feel Bure will be shown on
th coming election day Is tho unpopu
larity of Dole which will bo solely
due to his stolid stubbornnes egged
on by tho arbitrary and dictatorial
policy of tho Republican party
And still the Advertiser Is most un
relenting and venomous lownrds tho
retiring Bishop of Honolulu who truo
to his word will ofllclally rotlro to
morrow But say who has checked
tho churchs development sincoover
twonty flvo years ago Ask your own
people and friends But to say that
with tho new dispensation a union
of forces under a Bishop of Christian
character and motives Is most des
picable and reprehensible showing
tho nature of the beast In tho compo
sition of our contemporary
If they had as much Christian
character as Bishop Willis llttlo toe
they would then show a better spirit
that of contrition which would bo
more to the point of Christian teach
ings thereby showing that Christian
charity of harboring no Ill will against
one who has done more than any other
man Itself Included In this commu
nity for tho cause that he had sol
emnly pledged himself to do for his
Lord and faster Trutjh Is much
harder to toll than otherwise Is tho
case wjth tho make up of tho prlzo
fighter In tho others sanctum
Tho Church Is not a political In
stitution nor is It a social club Tho
above quotation Is from Bishop Willis
Easter sermon tho last delivered by
him as Bishop of Honolulu and which
Is published In full elsewhere In this
Issue Wo think the remarks quite
proper and pertinent to tho Issues at
stake within Iho church nnd coming
as It did nt this tlmo on tho eve of
his retiring from this Seo Is quite
opportuno and very much to the point
and should receive great weight from
all right thinking and fair minded per
sons of every creed and nation Thoro
has been too much of politics in our
church as woll as In that of other de
nominations which wo very much
doprecato as being most objectionable
and roprchonslblo In character Class
distinction was the first thing that
brought about dissatisfaction and dis
affection In those within tho church
followed closely by thoso of social
standing in order to bo distinctly so
Then ultimately politics crept hi and
becauso Bishop Willis stood up for tho
right of tho weak tho Hawallans for
whom tho church was sont hero ho
was downed and considered no good
Other than this many eeera to think J
that sociability Is tho only order for
tho church to do nnd that It was solely
Instituted for that purpose within
which social proferment distinction
nnd notorloty may bo gained Irre
spective of Christian Virtues which
wo doom quite Irrelevant to Scrlpturnl
teachings To bo socially Inclined
seems to be tho solo order of tho day
among sects and denominations other
than thoso cathollcally Inclined which
wo deem roprchonslblo and qulto out
of placo as a tenet of Christianity
A rather curious lncldont occurred
In HUp when tho present now year
year was about to dawn upon that
Crescent City while wo were there
wherein tho pollco o tho town arrest
ed certain young men for playing at
cards to whllo away tho tlmo of night
within tho Hllo Hotol It was n harm
less and an Innocent
game so wo woro Informed at tho
time among tho young bachelors
Whllo tho arrest was bolng made an
other moro glaring gambling was go
ing on upstairs of the Volcano Sta
bles where pool selling was being
held openly and publicly on the raco
events of tho following day at which
wo were present but did not take part
Wo Bay curious because tho police
overlooked a very glaring and a more
public gambling that was going on
openly to ono of a harmless and Inno
cent nature Ono was affecting many
and tho other only a few the many
affected being more of a public char
acter and the other of only a prlvato
nature The open one was a taunt to
tho public to do likewise but tho oth
er was quiet and out of the way and
looked like spite work and It was
said that complaint was duly made
Wo feel sure that there must havo
been somo personal feeling quite of
fensive in the matter And further
more be It remembered ono main
cause of the non arrest of the pool
gamblers may havo been becauso the
Sheriff Is a stockholder in the con
cern and therefore was an Interested
party to all Intents and purposes
which made the function above board
and free from arrest
