The proprietor and editor in chief of tlns paper, — Kahiliaulani — is in town from Hawaii. He looks beautifully well, and that is undoubtedly promoted rather by Hamakua elimalie changesthan by a laborite slippery boodle business. (Monday News.)

With the City government starting on a move early next year, we are just one step less nearer to Statehood. Nevertheless,we are proud to say that at the paee weaie travelling, under A'merican institutions, we are rapidly fulfilling theold saying, viz: "Imperium in imperio" (One government within another.)

We just learned [rom a Republican source, that the Republican Supervisors have taken the thurstonian oath, to give the Democratic Mayor the musquito b/tes that ever worried him in all his lifc time; aid if they can't bother him a"bit, they'll beg the devil to assist thom to bamboozlc His Excellency, the Mayor. We hope the coming ycar will usher the angel ol peaee to give our City and County fathers a very mild bellicose disposition to wipe off the Democratic Mayor with the tips of their tongues, Take a bit o! advice frnm us, gentlemen. Let the Hawaiian Fern grdw luxuriantly, and you will find things running smoothly on a well macadamised belt road around Oahu. We remembered several years ago a cooperative eoncern was started in thc old fish-markct on Quecn Street, makai of Ulakoheo (old Honolulu Iron Foundry) "for the sale, principally, of salmon, poi, dried fish and other Hawaiian.staples." This was a native hui. It did not sui'vive very long when it was defuncted. But, we hope ihe embryonic the presiding genius of whieh is ourgenial friendCo!onel John T.. Baker," wi'll make its (non-meteoric) career rushes with a great good speed. Eyes right, Colonel: and fight forward, fours right—hop! hop! hop! I-Je ui hoi tau! We had the good fortune last Saturclay evening to rneet the Mayor-elcct Fern, thc Senator-elect Harvcy, ihe Sheriff-e|ect Jarrett, and the Delegate-non-elect McCandless at Laie Settlement. They went there to give their gracious compliments to the voters ol' Laie because they gave on election day 55 votes for Notley, anel only 19 for Link. The new elected dignitaries plus L.-, 1 Mc- C. had a good poi supper prepared by thc Democratic sisters »nd brothers of Laie. After dinner, they gave. some Deniocratic hot stuffsto the (ew galhnts~voters and non voters— that assembled in the dancing hall of the beautif u l town. During the;meeting Piblo liokii, a turned coat Home Ruler was called upon to niake a spcech. Among the many kieks he wildly māde that evening, the one against thc "Primary Law" was the prettiest perfomanee he ever executed. Mr. Chas. K. Notley, president of the Home Rule ?arty has already announced the future slulns ijho of the jarty in the following undubious terms: ''The Home Kule, aarty. will remain hnn on its feet. It will not give up its ight iu politics. As long as Hawaii remains a Territoiy, :he Home Ruders will always remain as such." He further 3tated: "That I will not become a Republican or a Democrat until Hawaii has become, a State. The Home Rule party will disorganize only after Hawaii has heeome a 3tate." ' : phj3 anr T G4nc.err)ent ihe President of the Party is but feaffirmiiig theprinoiple laid down in the p!atform adopted bythe Party in June, 1900, whieh was aa £ollows: "We further pledge ourselves to support tha.t political party in the United States that will work to make Hawaii a state." This is the foundation rock upon whieh thc Home Rule party was built. Give us Statehood, and we are paU, 4nd yyhatever political party in the Unitcd States that grants us jhe boon, we, tho Home Rulers of Hawaii, will quickly amalgamatc ourselvcs, 'body and soul, mind an 1 hcart with such party, be it aßepublican or Demo'-r : t• ; aity. Otherwisc,-No,

Ahhough, the Heme Rule part)' is practically un-eliniinated In.ni Uk' polit -;al tussel in Hawaii nei. Keep at it boys! We see that the Advertisor of ,Nov. 29 in its "Loea-1 Brevities," gave Mr. Whitney the honor of bein(rthe At.orncy General," and in tīiat capacity he assumes the respcnsibility to frame "a bill to be introduced in the aimed at the Japanese Camps in residenee districi i, ,vc. This Act ean be entitled; An Exclusion Aet ol Japa:>-se Residences from Plaees, wherc A.ngcls and Saints reside. It is based, we believe, on the same pnneiple whieh pron-.pt-ed the anti-Japanese kiek in San Francisco, excīuding the little Yellow men from public schools. Beware of the Yellow peril! When that time comes, the World will know, "who's who' 1 isT:he Yellow dog?" As the traveler reaches the Nuuanu Pali,.the Koolau panomaric view will surprisingly bursts before his vision nnd his whole being wili be amazingly thrilled wii'h awe Hecause of nature's grandeur v'isible to his eyes from every point of view. He will see a small eonieal island standing at some distance from the main-land. It is called Moko-lii (the Royal Serpent). There ts an old legend relating to this Mokolii. When Hiiaka, the youngest sister of Maelame Pele, was travelling on that side of llie island, there lived a very large demi-god serpent, named Moko-lii, in the mo.untains of Kualoa. Hiiaka whipped thc monster with her petticoat. She made the serpent's hideous head a small eonieal island, and called it Mokolii. The body of the moo, she turned it inlo a lcrra jirnm whieh extends from the southern extremity of Kualoa mountains to the northern end. We see that some politico sore-heads ,ire wickedly and maliciously designing to ou( s)t—our ftiend Douthitt Representative-elect from the fourth district, because he was not a resident of Hawaii lor three yrar : , piroK to his election. ' We had onee triecl the experiment during the last legislature and we got the Rcpublican Up on the napes of our necks, whieh knoekeel our wind sacs to beieh like Kona ,-uoi-m. We receivcd a petition from 46 qualihed voters of Hana District, County of Maui, to unseat certain Representatives,electcd while holding Notarial Commissions, el eelenl, We handed the petition to Rrp. S. K. Mahoe, who presented it to the llouse qii Thursday, l'eb. 21, being the Second day of the Scssion. The peiiiion was referred lo the Judiciary Committee. The Chairman of that Committee, on the last day of the session, *eported orallv on the petition to the līouse, to lay il on the table. It took the learned Committee 58 days to make an oral report. That's what you eall Republican parliamentary bluff.

All turned coat pōliticians ; whether Home Rulers, Republicans, "Democrats or other kinds of tra-la-la boom-da-ra' political' quantities,are like unto the weather cocks revolving around their own round slender poles. That's what!

Just what we told our readers sometimes ago, that there'U be something fall at Washington not erelong. Why, the SanFrancisco Chronicle inits resume' of Queen Liliuoka ]ani's properties and her'royalbusiness to Washington, the Quene's young Secretaxy J, "D. Aimoku gave out that the present value of the crown lands is estimated at $20,000,000. Why is such valuation givenouti! nothingof value would be calculated upon it? Tut! tut! to make the Queep to eompromise her elaim for $250,000 is a sheer folly. What's $250,000 compare with the small sum of $10,000,000 that theUnjted States government. is willing to part with, just for the sake of We'll soon see more electric sparksonthis particular line from Washington.

"Sail—Ahoy! _a stranger—No, a kaimoiua. There she is right ahead of our lee bow. She is coming fu!l sail —heading up against the wind. O ! ho! ho! A Republican eanoe Wahoo!" gleefully bawled out our look-out from the top ōf our main-mast. Indeed, on Wednesday morhing, Dec. 2, the Captain of our little craft received a message written on a pieee of pa!(-pa» kapa (a wauke cloth), from aboard the Republican eanoe, and it unfolded us the surprising news, that our. friend Mr. Lane is going to make a fight in the Courts for the Wahoo escaped his grasp through a narrow kine strewn with fcvns on election day. Wh \■', we are surprise to learn that a Che-Fa" Willie is also mixed up iu the downfall of friend Lane. Only two or three days, if our memory serves us right, before election day, we saw a certam, Willie lalki ag yer>' excitingly' to Mr. Lane, who was standing near our humble selves. This particular Willie told Mr. Lane, that he was pretty sure of his—Lane's—being; elected, "That is a sure thing 5 " hesaid; then"'he kept on issuing the stuff: "What lam onīy afraid of, is about our ,Sena.tors. I-think Broad will beelected." Mr Lane d° n> t you remember that day you met aHome Ruler at the foot of the steps leading up to the County ōffices in Mclntyre Building sometimes before eleeūon? Sure! we don't forget that. Ha! ha! ha! how beautiful little things eome to serve pur purpose when they are properly stowed away for future use!
