THE FUR IS FLYING
It has boon frequently and rocont
ly stated for tho special bouofit of
tho U S Commissioners that there
is a split among tho Hawaiians ia
regard to the fate of thoir country
but that tho Americans and in fact
all tho Anglo Saxons hero stand
shoulder to Bhoulder and are a
harmonious and perfect political
unit
Yesterday a meeting was hold by
the American Union Party at whioh
a memorial was adopted which will
buow to the Commissioners that tho
differences of opinion among tho
Hawaiian political organizations aro
childsplay cdmparod with tho po
litical chasm which is being daily
Widened between the so called Mis
sionary and tho American parties
They do not spare eaoh others
these great politicians on either
side Tho fur is flying and it is
quite amusing for tho people of
Hawaii to lay back in thoir ham
mocks and enjoy a first class politi
cal monkey show
The Advertiser is still hunting
after President Doles scalp Has
Mr Armstrong a gubernatorial bee
in his bonnet or does ho merely
wish to father a policy in favor of
the Moanalua directorate Too in
discreot a friendship in politics is
often apt to act as a boomorang on
the head of the friend and for this
reason The Independent keeps t ho
n Mil o of its winning candidate
dark although there might be
worso island men named in the ruu
ning field than Senator Baldwin or
J B Atherton Both Sewall and
Haywood we consider Mainland
mon Have you thought neighbor
of the possibility of one of tho Ha
waiian race being solectod in the in
terest of harmony and as a partial
atonement for the rape of the land
Tho Cabinet is being roasted
for refusing to consulting with tho
body of men who claim that they
are tho People and that they helped
Mr Dole and his government into
power and also for not appearing
boldly before Mr McKinleys
Commissioners and demanding tho
adoption of a government for Ha
waii which will suit tho A U P
The Independent feels rather in
clined to commend tho reticent po
licy of the government in its non
couneation with the Congressional
Commission Who would thoy re
present before tho Commission
Certainly not tho Nation and as
suredly not the majority of the elec
torate They probably have not
now tho support of even one thous
and of tho 2700 registered voters
Their modesty is thoir wiso safe
guard for they will bo regardod as
intelligent beings so long as thoy
maintain silonco
The Government political views
have beou presented to tho Commis
sion by tho Planters Society and
on doubtful views wheroiu thoy
wero not unitod by tho Chamber of
Commerce Tho obvious duty of
tho Commissioner President and his
Cabinet is to romain tonguo tiod as
to tho futuro and to supply tho
Commission with statistical inform
ation from tho Departments and
Bureaux under their administra
tions It should bo remembered
that Hawaii is not forming its own
government that will bo providod
forliy the Politicians with a capital
P in Congress and will bo found to
bo eminently satisfactory when wo
become accustomod to it and our
swelled heads have also deoreasod
to a normal condition
rli
THE LAST MEMOBIAIi
Perhaps wo aro a few hours ahead
of time in bidding aloha to Mr Mo
Kinloys Commission but as wo
wish to do it it shall bo dono right
now Lot it bo said in honesty
without flattory that the soleotion
of Sonator Oullom and Representa
tive Hitt and we supposo many will
say of Senator Morgan also has
given eminent satisfaction to all
parties in Hawaii Outside of thoir
official duties they have by thoir
friendly demeanor mado thomsolvos
respected and esteemed as well as
popular and both of the two gen
tlomon first mentioned might com
mand any political gift at tho hands
of tho Hawaiian people In tho
disohargo of their somewhat ardu
ous and burdensome public duties
they have listened with courteous
and patient demeanor to our various
opinions and they have boon wiso
in boing soorotivo for thoy havo
compollod tho press representing
tho local Kilkenny Cats factions to
timidly and timorously approach to
the point of almost oppressing
opinions May thoy depart from
our shores with our hearty aloha
and may thoy in their committeo
rooms oil the floors of Congress and
by their own firesides occasionally
find amid their toils and pleasures
a few pleasant reminiscences of tho
emerald isles of tho summer seas

Ed The Independent
I notice in tho P C Advortisor
this morning that tho contract to
build a conareto sidowalk on Hotel
and Alakoa stroets outsido the Y M
0 A has boon awardod to Mr W
H Cummings tho Govornmont
Road Supervisor
May I ask tho taxpayers whether
it is fair to tho mechanics in town
to bo subjected to competition
with a salaried officor of tho Gov
ernment
I dont think that thoro is a singlo
mechanic or contractor who does
not respect Mr Cummings for the
good work ho has done as a Road
Supervisor but at tho same timo I
feel sure that all of us realize tho
impossibility of compotiug with a
man who onjoys tho advantages as
Mr Cummings does through his
official position Tho dirt from tho
roads tho most suitable working
men carts teams and rollers aro
virtually at his disposal I do not
make tho slightest insinuation
against Mr Cummings who I am
convinced is as honest as any man
can be but ho would not be human
if ho did not look after his own in
terests when an opportunity was
offered
If Mr Cummings wauts to do
private business ho is entitlodjto it
as soon as ho rosigns from his Gov
ornmont job As a private contractor
ho shall always receive ray con
gratulations whenovor ho defeats
me and rocoives a Job for which I
havo tondored a bid As long as ho
is in his present position I oannot
compete with him Mechanic

In all agricultural countries it is
on a good plow that the tiller of

Thoso nro in uso on nearly ovory

firms whioh had been returned as
unsatisfactory
Tho groat advantage of tho Perfect
plow is that it requires loss animals
to draw it and cuts an oxcollent fur
