A Braying Ass.

■■■ ■ ■ Mr. John E. Bush is devoting considerab!e space in tbe Ka Leo in ahus ng tbe HoLOMUa and ! evervbi»dy connected with u He 1 īs perftctlv welc»nne hi do so and if it amnses and satisf «s him we sincerily enconrage hino to keep iit np. At the same we shouid snggest to the wise st)itesm«n and ! politician-with-a-record that it , would be to the iaterest and best welfare of his Hawaiian j readers if he would outline his policy as to Uie future of Hawaii and te I the people what to do. \ A man of his snperior iutelligence ranst eertainly li«ve m»de up his mind w’»iat is to be done. We j humbly suggested to Mr. Bush i and h'S equally brilliant satel!ite ! Mr. Niwahi that it was about time either to fight or vote. ■ Fight<ng is against the re!igion of the two patriots—what a c«>n- ! venient thing relipi-in occassion ! ally is—and voting isag »inst their i principles (it is snrprisiug tbat i tliis little country ean hold such great men, inclnding their“pnu I eiplea ”) All we desire is to get tbe two trnly Christi.-in leaders to eome forward and tell us \vhat to do, and when to do it. And, i alas, all the answer we get is the spectacle of seeing the two leaders kiek up their heols in a raost und gmfied mauner, piek up their )<siuitie bead ornaments and bray out in hystorical tones: "W’e are the people, B.ih Ha ! Don’t listen toanybody else, Bah Ha! Duwn with the haoles who cry fight or vote. Stay witb us and j it will all eome out in the wasb | Bah ha ba—- —!’’ And while the polilieal grass grows | nnder the heels of the asses tbe Hawaii political eow dies.
