The Sunday Republican will contain all the local news of the day and there is al ways something spicy occurlng on Sat unlay to enliven the columns of tho Sunday paper. All in nil the Sunday Republican will be Just the sort of paper you will want to read on Sunday, that longest of all days to many a man and woman TIME TO STOP TRIFLING. The action of tho republican execu tho committee, on the appointment of a charter commission, as suggested by the independents, was a piece of peanut politics that disgraces the body of mon forming the committee. It betokens a nnrrowness and bigotry In partizntiship that Is unworthy of men calling themselves republicans. It is to be hoped that the action of the com mlttee will be rescinded before it U too late as any attempt to carry out movements bucIi as planned would re suit In the ruin of' the party in Honolulu. For the republicans to attempt to frama a charter regardless of the in dependents is simply foolish. Surel the men on the committee must know this and the only reasonable excuso for their action is that Instead or be Ing sincere in supporting a chartei they are secretly trying to prevent the framing and adoption of one. Every man knows that the independents control the legislature In both branches by a majority sufficiently laffce to pass any legislation they may see fit. Be ing pledged to municipal government for Honolulu, and both the republican and democratic parties being pledged to the same, the Independents believed that it would be goal policy and for the best interests of all the people, that a commission consisting of thirty mon be appointed by the committees of tho three parties to frame a charter. It is an old saying that the majority can afford to 1o generous, but the independents were more than generous. They had It within their power to frame and adopt a charter regardless of the wishes of anyone outside of their party. But Instead of this they wanted to legislate for the greatest good of the greatest number. To this end theyJnvlted the committees of the other two parties to join with them in selecting a committee of thirty to frame a charter which committee, while it would be appointed by the party committees, would In reality be a non-partisan organization. Every thing in the way of county or municipal government is so new here, that no other way for securing a charter commission seemed open. There are no civic organizations to appeal to hence the best method at faaad was adopted. The whole desire was to secure a commission in -which every element of the city should be represent ed. True it was asked that only friends of municipal government tor Honolulu should be appointed as members of the commission, but this was only right for if enemies to municipal government were on the commission they might prevent any tangible or practical work beimj.done before the I legislature met In February. There has been a good deal of talk sinco the election abont race prejudice in Hawaii and about the indepadnt canvass being conducted tipoa those lines. The action In asking the other parties to join Sn framing a city charter -was to wipe ont all opportunities for f5uch claims. It desired to ehow the people that the independents were -working for the good of the people of this city and wanted all to have a hearing. The action taken by the republican committee- on Wednesday night is jast the sort of work that -will cause race bitterness. It will tend tc arouse the feeling that'the independent leaders have been working to destroy. It ir!oats that the npablicaa party ' and the white men do not intend to rec ognize the independents, and. Incident ally, the natives, and sneb -work is certain to incite race prejudice. Whether or not the republican party was seek ing to commit political suicide ire have no positive means of knowing bet its action would indicate that such was its object. Come, gentlemen. It is high time to accept the results as they are and make the most of them. The repub lican party is pledged as firmly loi municipal government as is the independent party. The independents have the votes In the legislature and are In control, but since they have gen enfcisly asked you, like fair and hones men, to join them in selecting a char tor commission made up of men from all three parties, no one of which shall have a majority, meet them in the same generous, open-handed way and appoint your share of the commission I If you stand for municipal govern ment, as your convention In Hall In September declared, you did play honest with the men who beat you at the polls, but who now extend the hand of friendship. Get up outc the heights of fair dealing and throv your peanut politics and peanut poli ticlans out the window. Such work may do in Brooklyn, but It won't go in Honolulu at least it won't go now. As will be seen by a news dispatch In another column Judge Brown of the United States Court of the southern district of New York is another of those erratic judges who is Insane enough to believe that the constitution follows the flag. In deciding a suit for pilot's fees in his court Judge Brown held: "It is evident that Porto Rico, under the cession of the Island by Spain to the United States, Is not a foreign port and It-is subject solely jo the sovereignty and dominion of this country" This learned Judge did not hold that Porto Rico had to await tho action of Congress before its status was fixed, but that under the cession of the Island by Spain to .e United States it was subject solely to the sov ereignty and dominion of the United Suites. Now if Judge Brown were only in Hawaii he would be told by the Supreme court of the Territory that he was all wrong and that there existed an interregnum during which neither Spain nor the United States exercised sovereignty. Along with the granting of woman suffrage. Colorado abolished capital punishment. Since the abolishment of capital punishment the state has been disgraced by mob law and lynchings on a number of occasions, one of the lynchings being In the city of Denver slvyears ago. Of course ail these former outbreaks of mob law were tame compared to the last awful crime when the victim of the mob was burned at the stake. The burning of Por ter was no doubt partially due to the fact that the people of Lincoln county knew there was no law on the statute books which provided an adequate penalty for his crime. At the most ha could only be imprisoned for life and long before the termination of his sentence by death sdhie kindhearted or misguided governor might pardon him. Now the people over the state aro agitating the revival of the death pea alty for capital offenses and strong pressure will be brought to bear upon the legislature the coming winter 10 that end. In bringing in new laborers for the cane fields the sugar planters must not continue the folly of bringing men only. If the soumern negro with his family la brought here he will prove a valuable addition to the labor of the Islands. The negro is naturally domestic and if his family is here the danger to white women, which many feai from the introduction of negro laborers, would never be present. Naturally the negro is the protector of thr refined and delicate white woman despite the atrocious acts of a few of his race. The most faithful servants in the world are the black Mammys of the South. Bring the wo men and children along and the southern negro will be the most valuably laborer the sugar planters have evei had. It is well that the holding back cf Delegate Wilcox's credentials! has come to an end. He was honestly and' fairly elected the delegate to congress by the majority of the voters of the territory and as such delegate he should have been furnished his crc dentials before this so that he could have gone on to Washington to pres ent them. However much -we may dif 1 icr irom tne man and his methods he Is the choice of the voters of the ter ritory and as .such should be given due consideration. ine one ot imperialism. g From the Kansas City Star.

In the Philippines there are 2,357 officers and 69,- 161 enlisted men. standing hi readiness to embark on air ships, secretly constructed by the imperialists, and an hour afterward carry fire and sword through 'the United States and ruthlessly slay eTery man who wont admit he has a full dinner paiL It is now evident that the Philippine war was conceived by the imperialists for the express purpose of having the army convenient to the large cities to shoot down ' the striking plasterers and broom makers. The Republican Success. From the Sugar Planters' Journal. With the news of the election of Mr. McKinley cornea a feeling of security to the sugar and rice planters of this whole country. This almost universal ratification of the republican administration guarantees to the above mentioned classes of planters that they will have at least four years more of a protective tariff and good prices for their products. Irrespective of poll-tics, the planters of Louisiana really feel that the republican party Is chief ly responsible for the present stable footing that both sugar manufacture and rice growing has in our state. In consequence, much gratification is ex pressed by all connected with the in dustries, and a period of unruffled com posure may be looked forward to for the coming four years. j Wilcox a Catholic. - From the Evening Bulletin. Yesterday Wilcox was accepted af a member or tne uoman uatnonc church. When he entered the Great Church of the Popes he bowed his head and with the modesty always br coming him he accepted the blessing of the Priest who invited him to step Into the fold of the church which the Earth. Wilcox is a Catholir and the fact will never be forgotten Mr. Dole and Mr. Cooper may fight against tne public career of Mr. Wilcox, but they will never defeat the man who holds the hearts of the and the voters who belong t the Roman Catholic church which predominates here. Bryan's Great Sacrifice. From the Omaha Bee. Mr. Bryan's haste to declare that he would not allow his name to be enter ed in the senatorial race Droves to have been his one shrewd move in view of the republican majority in the body which is to choose Nebraska's next senators. The sacrifice will certainly be appreciate by the men who are given the empty honor of a minority complimentary vote. RECEPTION AT HALEKULANI. Miss Bagley of California Meets Hosts of Honolulu's Best People. The Lewers reception in honor of Miss Bagley of California last evening was a great success in every way. nere was a very large crowd present who thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of Halekulani. Solomon's quintette club furnished the music for the dancing and the large large lanal was crowded with couples moving to the strains of the familiar melodies. On the large lanai by the water a luncheon was served at small tables the several hundred guests being amply provided with good things to eat The grounds surrounding the house were prettily decorated with lanterns hung in festoons and among the trees and on the beach lanai clusters of lights made the place look like a fairy picture. From half past eight until after midnight the music played and while there was music there were dancers. The reception was one of the most successful and largest even given here and of the six hundred and odd invitations Issued nearly all were accept ed. i HcGleUan, Pond & Go I I Baal Etat, Inmrance, Investments I In addition to homesteads and cot tages for sale, we quote the following pieces of vacant: 5,000--Corner 110x150 on rveeaumoKu st., near Wilder:; will subdivide B. lTltr thinf nfo 551,600 Corner lot 54x135 in N K?nT StfOif Tronf o3 c -',-'- avx "Dint DnlvV . , j k, $2,500 Fine Manoa lot lOOx . 200 with view of ocean and Dianiond'Head. $8,000 U acres atPunahou, fronting on college ft campus. $7,000 Choice corner on Beretania ave. - Makiki i district. $1,350 Fino warehouse lot JoOxlOOQueenstreet, s i.ewaio." -""-- M'CLELLANPONDiCO. tt TU.Malnii JHdd Building, si, oSSa v& -.. w .-. ites , s J.
