Principles Adopted ut Morltne ill
1 Honolulu.
Following is the platform adopted
by the Home Rule party today:
1. The Home Rulers of the
Territory of Hawaii in convention
assembled renew their allegiance
to the principles of their party and
congratulate the people of the Terri
tory of Hawaii that through the
efforts of this party and its settled,
persistent and determined opposi
. tion to those who would establish
1 in this Territory a rule of corporate
1 and class wealth the people are at
last assured a small measure of
Home Rule. The seed is planted!
I the wedge has entered and this
1 party and its supporters will not
rest contented until it shall have
rendered American institutions,
just, equal and beneficent thesafe
1 guard of liberty and the embodi
;ment of the best thought and high
jest purposes of patriotic citizens a
' reality in the Territory of Hawaii.
I 2. We denounce the present
Territorial Administration asselfish,'
(biased, corrupt, wasteful, evtrava-
gant and vicious, bent upon perpet
uating its own power and control
of public affairs, unmindful of the
wishes of the people whose servants
they are, and defiant of the Consti
tution and laws which they have
solemnly sworn to maintain. We
charge them with appointing to
high official positions carrying ex
orbitant salaried, pliable inexperienc
ed and incompetent persons: with
parceling out the public domain in
princely tracts to favored individ
uals, with the intent that the same
be held in trust for great corpora
tions, in flagrant violation of the
letter and spirit of the Organic Act:
with using the public funds with
which to defray the expenses of its
emissaries and lobbyists to and at
Washington for the purpose of pre
serving the Statu quo of the Olig
archy, concealing its frauds and
disappointing the wishes and aspira
tions of the great mass of the peo
ple of this Territory. And we call
attention to the fact that the acts as
well as the policy of the present
Territorial administration was
roundly condemned in toto by the
three Republican United States
Senators who recently visited Ha
waii as a Sub-Committee of the
United States Senate, and made a
detailed and exhaustive investiga
tion of all of its conditions, to-wit,
Hon. John H. Mitchell of Oregon,
Hon. Addison G. Foster of Wash
ington, Hon. Jos. R. Burton of
Kansas.
3. We appeal to the conscience
and manhood of the voters of this
Territory to join us in our efforts to
effectually restrict the power of an
administration which is dishonored
at home, and discredited abroad,
and which possesses neither aim
nor end other than its own aggrand
izement. And we cordially invite
all citizens without reference" to
race, creed or class to unite with us
so that we may have in this Terri
tory a government of laws and not
of men, a government of equal
rights, opportunities and privileges
under which the voice of the hum
blest citizen may be heard and re
spected. 4. We declare ourselves in favor
of the most liberal forms of county
and municipal government and we
solemnly pledge ourselves to omit
no endeavor to secure those forms
of government which are "instinc
tive with the American," and re
garded as a part of his birth right.
5. We declare ourselves in favor
of the repeal of the law which re
quires the Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court to make a biennial re
port to the Legislature, .which law
affords that official a pretext for in
termeddling in politics and matters
of legislation entirely beyond the
scope of a proper report.
6. We condemn the passage of
a law by the last Legislature auth
orizing two or more corporations to
form co-partnerships, and we charge
that said law was devised for the
purpose of enabling corporations to
evade that just and sensible prohibi
tion in the Organic Act, against the
holding of more than one thousand
acres of laud by a corporation: and
we charge further that said low is
directly contrary to the laws of
Congress and opposed to the policy
of enlightened states, as witnessed
by recent and almost universal
legislation aimed at cotpoiatc asso
ciation and combination. And wc
call upon the Congress of the United
States to immediately repeal said
law.
7. We denounce the appropria
tions made'by the Legislature for
the pay of public officials and for
other purposes as extravagant and
wasteful to the point of reckless
ness, wholly out of proportion to
the value of the services which said
officials arc called upon to perform,
finding no warrant in the almost
bankrupt condition of this Territory
and not justified by the necessities
of the situation. And for the same
reason we denounce the passage of
the so-called "Loan Bill" and we
do hereby beseech the President of
the United States to make n care
ful and critical investigation of the
necessity for such a bill before giv
ing his approval to any of the bonds
which-it is proposed to issue there
under. 8. We denounce the attempt
that is being made by the supporters
of existing conditions in this Terri
tory to raise race issues, and we
charge that such attempt is being
made for the sole purpose of mis
leading the people ot the United
States and of creating a sentiment
abroad prejudicial to the Hawaiian
people. The entire history of the
Hawaiian race for more than half a
century affords abundant testimony
of the fact that the Hawaiians desire
to live upon terms of friendship,
justice and equity with all people
who come among them, and that
strangers are hospitably received
and given opportunities in public
as well as private life, commensu
rate with their deserts.
9. We declare ourselves in favor
of the immediate extension by the
Congress of the United States of the
American system of public laud
laws to the Territory of Hawaii,
firmly believing that in such ex
tensions lies our only hope of pre
venting the public domain from
falling into the hands of great
corporations and a few favored in
dividuals. We proclaim our loyalty to the
principles of American government
and to the citizenship which we
enjoy, and inspired by the sense of
chivalry, mauhood and independ
ence which has ever characterized
that citizenship, we send our affec
tionate greetings to our former
Sovereign, Her Majesty Liliuoka
laui and assure her of our unabated
love, confidence and respect.

Cuttings Will be Imported to llimull
by (lovernment.
The new Agricultural Board at
Honolulu has taken some steps in
the right direction. The following
from the report of the first meeting
will ue 01 interest to banana grow
ers: Mr. Smith also asked the Board
for an allowance of $500 to be used
in the importation of banana suckers
from the West Indies and Nicara
gua. He stated that the Depart
ment of Agriculture annually sent
out agents to make collections of
seeds, plants, etc., and this agent
would send the suckers of the fam
ous Bluefields bananas. The
amount asked is to be used only in
the payment for the banana plants
and the cost of transportation. The
board will be at no expense as far
as traveling expenses are concerned.
Mr. Smith stated that he had re
ceived a letter on the Doric mail
relative to this matter, and there
was a possibility that the Depart
ment would furnish both the man
and the money required. Mr.
Thurston stated that the money
asked could not be put to a better
purpose. He said that the Blue
fields banana was what is needed in
Hawaii, and he favored bringing
the plants here in large numbers,
so that it would be something more
than an experiment. Otherwise it
would take too long to properly be
gin the culture of the banana. He
suggested that the Bluefields were
what had been hurting the Ha
waiian banana in the California
market. It requires no wrapping,
the bunches can be piled up like
cordwood, the bananas didn't stick
out from the stem, and the stem
dried out instead of remaining
sticky like the China banana.
Mr. Smith said that he had al
ready received many applications
for cuttings. In answer to a ques-
: tion he said that he believed the
suckers could be brought through
alive. He did not believe they
could be brought here until Decem
ber as the rainy season is now on
in the West Indies. The expendi
ture of the amount asked was
authorized.
CliCVKIiAM) STOCK AUVANCKS. 1
Clntugn of reeling lias Coiih' Ovrr.
the South,
Kvcr since the democratic con
vention in Iowa repudiated Bryan
ism and other populistic vagaries ;
Cleveland stock has advanced on
the political market. Some of the I
most sagacious and best posted pol
iticians of both parties now believe
that nothing can prevent the ex
president from again being nomi
nated by the democratic party.
The result, however, will come
about naturally. What has hap
pened in Iowa will happen in all of
the states of the Mississippi valley.
Bryan will be thrown over. The '
men who led the party prior to 'oG
will come back into their own, they
will select the delegates to the na
tional convention, and when that
body nssemblcs next summer it will
be found to be in control of the for-1
mer president's personal following.
Bryan will have a small contingent I
in the convention that will do a
great deal of talking, but will be
powerless for mischief.
It is predicted that by the time
the convention meets, every one of
the socalled available, will be found
to be impossible, Godtnau, while ,
acknowledged to be a smooth poli-;
tician, stands for nothing but ex-'
pediency. Parker is respectable,
but colorless. It is stated that he j
will be strong in New York, but at
the same time he will have little
strength" elsewhere. Hill has trim
med so much that nobody trusts
him, and he is very unpopular with
a powerful element in New York.
Neither the house of representatives
nor the senate has developed any
democratic leader of ability. Cleve
land is the only man left whose
stature is of presidential propor
tions. It is clearly to be seen that 'the
south has a different feeling for Mr.
Cleveland than was entertained for
him in that section a few years ago.
His address on the race problem
pleased the South immensely and
the race problem is the supreme
issue'in the South just now.
If these facts be correct, Air.
Cleveland will have the delegates
from New England, New York and
the rest of the old middle states.
He will be strong in all the
northern states west of the Mis
sissippi. Already Iowa and Min
nesota are quite ready to support
him when the convention meets.
These, with the solid south, can
control the democratic convention,
even under a two-third rule, and
his nomination will follow:
In spite of the bitterness mani
fested by many democrats against
Mr. Cleveland during the years he
was in the ascendency, and in spite
of the fact that some of this feeling
still exists, and in spite of the fur
ther fact that there is still consid
erable prejudice against three terms
for any man, the fact remains that
he is the strongest candidate the
democrats can put up. There is
something about the name of Cleve
land that inspires. He preserved
the integrity of our currency. He
enforced the laws. Now that the '
republican senate can be depended
upon to prevent him putting into '
action his free trade views, tariff re-!
ductions will not be feared. A
larger campaign fund can be raised
for Cleveland than for any other
candidate.
If Cleveland should be nominated
the battle would be concentrated in
a few states New York, New Jer
sey, Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois
and perhaps Wisconsin. The is
sue would not be in doubt. Mr.
Cleveland could not defeat Presi
dent Roosevelt, but he might win
two or three of the states named
above, which any other candidate
would most certainly lose. Two
years ago Cleveland for candidate
would have seemed ridiculous, but
it now seems most probable and in
a certain sense logical. Exchange.
