J. Emmeluth met the Queen at a luau
yesterday, but It Is not yet known
whether she looked as "fiendish" to
him as he said she did seven years ago.
The moth-eaten municipal circus Is
on the road again but there are few
people out to welcome It. The price
of admission Is much too high for the
kind of performance billed.
"Yes," said the bullfrog, "we've fully
made up our minds to act. These oxen
that walk around regardless and lie
down in the soft places must go. The
bullfrogs have concluded to 'fire them
and If you will listen some night you'll
hear 'em whiz."

A contemporary asks why Gen. Hart-
well was passed by when the Planters'
Association was looking for a perma
nent aeent at Washington? The answer
Is: For the same reason that H. P.
Ilaldwln. J. 1$. Atherton. C. XI. Cooke
and Alexander Young were overlooked;
the t.l.intprs knew that none of them
would take It.

The latest haunt of piracy Is the Chi
nese coast. There the tales of the
Spanish main come to life again and
men are robbed and murdered and
treasure Is stolen In quite the old
swashbuckler way.- It would pay the
Chinese Kovernment to suppress the
Oriental Captain Kldds. for if It gives
them a free sea much longer all Chi
nese ports, landing places and rivers
running to tide water may be taken
under foreign Jurisdiction.

man who cared anything for Hawaii
would have brought aid here from the
Mainland to win the election. The man
we have collected money from the su
gar planters and went away with It,
putting the funds where they would
help him to get political recognition
and giving Hawaii the go-by. buch a
Committeeman Is an Impertinence and
being one will probably not resign even
though petitioned to do so by ninety
nine per cent of the party.
Hawaii Is one of a few places in the
world Inhabited by white people that
does not know or Is not able to find
out the results of the Presidential elec
tion. Every part of the United States,
Including the West and East Indian
possessions, barring only Hawaii and
Tutulla, have been In touch with the
news for more than a week. We shall
have to wait until the 17th for data
about the returns of the 6th. It Is at
such times that Hawaii realizes. In
most strenuous fashion, tne need or a
cable to the Coast.
One of the plumbing supply men, in
the course of a recent interview, said
that he did not see why the plumbing
trust should be attacked here when it
Is let alone on the Mainland. The
causes, however, are easy to find.
Here the master plumbers have com
bined to rob the people and on the
Mainland they are content with the
rate of profit to which householders
have long been accustomed. No pro
test haa arisen at the other end of the
long ferry and doubtless few people
there, not in the plumbing business.
know of the existence of a trust. The
same might have been the case here
had not the plumbers tried to outdo the
Forty Thieves of All Daba.
The attempt of . the San Francisco
News Company to prevent the receipt
by the Honolulu press of files and As
sociated Press correspondence before
the circulation on these streets of Coast
newspapers Is another conspiracy in
restraint of trade. We have no doubt
that It can be dealt with both crim
inally and by civil process in the Unit
ed States courts and that local con
cerns which are hand in glove with the
San Francisco News Company in the
deal can be made to sweat for it. How
ever as things are going, the Adver
tiser Is not likely to lose any news ad
vantages It has hitherto enjoyed and
so long as that is the case there will be
no need on Its part of an appeal to the
Federal laws.
The vealy Bulletin revives the dis
cussion of Sewall's 'misadventure with
the Governorship and as It seems anx
M I . . .
ious ior ngm on tne suoject we may
as well tell a story. One day last
spring President McKlnley sent for an
eminent Hawaiian citizen to ask his
advice in the matter of Sewall and
IKIe. Mr. McKlnley Intimated that
Mr. Sewall was slated for Governor and
Mr. Dole for Chief Justice and he asked
how the appointments would be re
celved7 The Hawaiian spoke kindly
of Mr. Sewall but stated that the lat
ter's friends had made such malevolent
attacks on Mr. Dole that Sewall's ap
pointment would cause an undeserved
humiliation to the man whose labors
had, more than those of any other one
Hawaiian leader, made annexation pos
slble. The President wanted particu
lars and was given Bulletin clippings
to read. Going over a few of them he
expressed disgust and ended the Inter
view, saying nothing of his Intentions,
A few days later the nomination of
Panford B. Dole for Governor of IIa
wall was sent to the Senate.
If French Canadians can work In Ha
waiian cane fields the average Amerl-
' can farm hand can do so. We still be
lieve that several thousand men might
be had for the Hawaiian labor market
from the ranks of the 33,000 young sol
diers, now serving In the Philippines,
whom the law requires to be disbanded
next July. These stalwart youths
come, as a rule, from agricultural dis
tricts, they are now working In a hot
ter climate than this for $13 per month
and found and most of them have
probably, by this time, come under the
spell of the tropics. If the United
states uovernment, which has con
tracted to return them, at the expira
tion of their terms of service, to the
place of enlistment, would agree to land
such of them here as might be Induced

The reicn of Kalakaua witnessed the Intrigues or one great radical poli
tician and several small ones to overthrow the influence of the conservative
white party in the affairs of Hawaii Walter Murray Oioson, Celso Caesar
Moreno and Volney ana uiarence Asnrora. uiDson s career was remarKauic
and. for a time, it threatened to dominate the politics of these Islands during
the lifetime ot the man. Gibson believed, as Moreno did, that the "mission-
aiies were men to enuure miuci iiio.ii lu ugni. nun 6'" "c -""
their character the events of ten or more years ago attest. The ex-Mormon
leader and the evil genius of Kalakaua went easily Into power and grew
bolder with practice, finally developing a policy of extravagance and fantas
tic adventure which strained the patience of responsible men to the break
ing point. The "missionaries" assembled, one blow was struck and the Gib
sonian Idol came down like the image with the brazen cheek and the feet of
clay. Moreno's reign lasted but three days and it was brought to grief under a
dangling noose. The Ashfords then tried their hands but the only imprint
they ever made on the history or Hawaii was caused ty tneir downfall.
Viewing the fate of the politicians and factions that have in turn butted
their heads against the rock of Hawaiian conservatism we can afford to smile
at the threats of the little flock of Job-chasers whose tale-bearer and handy
chiffonier is the editor of the Bulletin. The comic aspect of the thing Is In
creased by the fact that, but a few short weeks ago, they were all on their
knees to the "missionaries" begging for the money to run a campaign and
agreeing to thro.v a Jonah overboard If they could get It. Even Sewall
went around with cap In hand pleading for the money with which he hoped
to bid for personal favor at Washington got It and then left the party of
which he is supposed to be the official head to Its fate. It was 1'Good Tige,
Good Tige" to the "missionary" then; It Is "fire the missionary," now that
the money has been spent and the Job-chasers are unhappy.
It will be a rare show when these peanut politicians bring their pop
guns and toy swords to the nring line and attempt to do what Walter Mur
ray Gibson with his massed artillery failed to achieve. It will be a Joke to see
them range up to be counted, as they were once counted on an uproarious
political evening in the Drill Shed. And It will be funnier yet when the non
descript collection of "firers" hoist the white flag as usual and wig-wag this
message: "If you'll let us have a campaign fund we'll knife any one on our
side you don't like." t

"KNIFING" THE PARTY.
The following appeared In yesterday's Republican:
Knowing that the cause of the RepuMlcan defeat was mainly due to Its actions
and those It represents, the Advertiser now boldly lies about It by declaring, "The
Republican says that the Republicans were defeated because the Gear combina
tion bolted and refused to vote the straleht ticket." The Republican never said
anything of the kind and the Advertiser knows It, and furthermore the Adver
tiser knew It was stating a distinct lie when it printed the words quoted
Well, neighbor, let's see about this:?'
On November 8th, the morning after election, the "Republican" editorial
ly assigned, among other causes of the partial Republican defeat, the reason
that the missionaries had dictated the nominations. "Such action could have
but one result. It alienated nearly all of the best and most effective party
workers. They were either coldly Indifferent or openly hostile to the ticket
nominated with one or two exceptions."
On November 9th It said:
"The defeat of Mr. Henry Waterhouse Is but natural when the
political considerations are taken Into account. The Republicans of the
Fourth Representative District, In the party primaries last September, de
clared against the nomination of Mr. Waterhouse for senator. A. V. Gear
was the choice of the Republicans of the Fourth District as one of the Re
publican candidates for the senate jjut of course this made no dif
ference to the party wreckers and they proposed to thrust his (Waterhouse)
candidacy down the throats of t!ie voters regardless of whether they wanted
it or not. Now note the result. Mr. Waterhouse Is the worst beaten , man on
the ticket. The resentment against the methods with which Mr.
Waterhouse's nomination was secured, told at the polls. The silent opposi
tion to him was not so much an opposition to Mr. Waterhouse personally as,
to the Infamous methods which forced his name UDon the ticket."
Now for a bit of analysis:
First we are told that "all of the best and most effective party workers"
were alienated, and "coldly Indifferent or "openly hostile to the ticket
nominated, "with one or two exceptions."
Who were these "alienated," "Indifferent" and "openly hostile" party
workers? Certainly not the "missionaries," for we are told that they had
dictated the ticket. Certainly not the supporters of Waterhouse. for the Indlf-
rerenee and other kinds of enumerated hostility were directed aeainst him.
By process of elimination, who Is there left but the supporters of A. V. Gear,
for we are told that he was their first and only love, and his failure to get
the nomination caused "silent opposition," "resentment," "alienation." "cold
Indifference." open hostility," besides other vaguely hinted" at but uncata
logued evidences of mental pain usually conducive to what' the "regular"
dyed in the wool politician calls "knifing" a candidate or a party.
The plain English of both editorials is that the Gear supporters defeated
Waterhouse. Moreover it Is the truth; but the fat-witted Republican was so
anxious to damn the "missionaries" that it did not at first perceive that .It
was giving Gear's treachery away. Now that it realizes its blunder it Is try
ing to bluff out of it. It will be In order now for the Humphreys' end of the

able explanation. Doubtless when Judge Humphreys' paoer tmblished a dmi-

Again, when, after Waterhouse was nominated. Gear was hirlnc- men tn

Gears name substituted therefor, he was doing so in the consciousness and
belief that enthusiasm for Waterhouse would be stimulated, bv nnnh
and to demonstrate thereby that he. Gear, was consumed by devotion to the

There never has been a time, previous
I to the 14th of June and since the arrival
or the missionaries, when the port of
Honolulu was so destitute of war ships
as it Is now. Time was when Amerl-
can, British and Jaoanea
were frequent visitors and when Hono
lulu was always protected by at least
one broadside. Now we have to nut t
with a Government tug. The war In
the Phitlppines and the fact that for

to protect their national Interests ac
