Political Echos.

_____

 

   The political pot is boiling hot and all the politicians have got their hands full of wires, some are pulling wisely, some are pulling like fools.  The renegades of the National Party who still hold seats as nobles have grouped around dthem little cliques who fancy themselves powerful factors, and are bitterly opposing those who have stood firmly and honestly by the national principles.  Such men are called "scabs" in American politics.  They will run their chief career unmolested, but their faithlessness is condemned and never again will the obtain popular suffrage.

_____

 

   The Mechanics Union has been the plaything of reform politicians, who had succed in creating dissention in that body, by inducing some of its unwitting members to indulge in all kinds of treachery to their associates, and to forget every principle of the National Party which originally brought them together.  The union has practically gone over to the once hated Reform Party, and the majority of its members have left it in disgust.  The nominations which the union have made are headed by a man who has been treacherous to the National Part and to his countrymen, and his associates and some of the ticket are known tools of the sugar barons Reform Party.  There is not much chance of that ticket being elected for it will be strongly opposed by the majority of intelligent native Hawaiians who realize that the election these tools of the Reform Party will destroy forever all prestige of native Hawaiians in the affairs of this country.  It will be opposed also b the Portuguese who know that with the ascendancy of the reformers and sugar barons the Portuguese must go and the cheap  East Indian coolie will come.

____

 

   The hui Kalaiaipa is reduced to a handful of shyster lawyers, while the Native Sons of Hawaii is a farcicaal attmept to bolster up the disabled Reform Party under an alluring title.

_____

 

   The Liberal League and the International League who have combined upon the same platform are the strongest organization and have the largest following.  The Reform Party made an attempt to speak in W.G. Ashly upon the nominations, but that gentleman wisely withdrew, since his employers, B. F. Dillingham and Mr. P. Robinson are lace upon the opposition ticket which the sneaking reformers are backing up.  The ticket which the National Liberals have put forward, is the ticket that most distinctively represents the people and the principles of the National Party, and is the winning ticket.  All you sporting gentlemen can bet on it.

   The attitude of the Oahu Railway and Land Co. in the present political election ahs probably lost to them the support of the National Party in the coming Legislature.  It way and is a part of the policy of the National Party to encourage the building of a railroad about this island.  It was the national leaders who fought through the Legislature for a subsidy to the O.R.&L. Co.  They were opposed by the scabs of the National Party sided and abetted by their allies of the Reform Party who fought determinedly against the railroad.  The National Party and national leaders were the friends and promoters of th railway subsidy, but what is their recompense.  Now that another election comes round dthe O.R.&L. Co. shows its hand in active hostility to the nationals. and covertly intriguing to create confusion in our party, and counubiating with the tools of the Reform Party.

____

 

   But hat else could be expected of the man who principally composed the O.R. & L. Co.  They are so deeply dyed with the disingennnous and the dishonest principles of the religio-hypocritic politico-reform arty, that they are unworthy of the political assistance of the masses of Hawaiian voters.

____

 

   Believing that the railway company would appreciate that portion of the national platform which recommends assistance to railways, Mr. M.P. Robinson was asked to accept a nomination for noble by National Liberal Party, but he spurned it, refusing to abide by the liberal platform.  He, however, allows his name to stand as a nominee of the Native Sons of Hawaii which is known now to be but another synonym for reform.

The Boodlers are Out.

_____

 

   The so-called Mechanic Union met Wednesday evening, to make nominations for Nobles and Representatives for the Legislature of 1892.  This organization, after three unsuccessful attempts to make nominations have at last succeeded in selecting a dandy crowd to represent them.  This performance was brought about by the efforts of men who are renegades to that principle of equal rights, for which they claimed they were oppressed and are now involuntary exiles from their native country, represented by such men as Messrs. Bowler, Sullivan, Quinn and Nowlein.

   It appears that these gentlemen had managed to pick up from the streets, a substitute Committee for the Hui Kalaiaina and in Tammany style, carried the Boodle crowd as their nominee for the future elections.  The names for Noble, is a fair specimen of the manner in which the Mechanics and the Workingmen are going to be represented.  Any one reading the names can realize what interests will be served.  Take Mr. Cummins, for instance, a sugar planter, owner and a gent all in one, who will undoubtedly  work to open the door wide to Asiatics hordes to flood the country and to drive every foreign mechanics out of the land, and his fellow workman, the Hawaiian into his taro patch, if he is fortunate enough to have one to flee to.

   The two next on the list are well known lawyers, whose precarious profession naturally leads them into a life of excitement and in pursuit of smoky fortune for their own self gratification instead of serving the public weal, add especially the class of people, whom the Union and the Hui Kalaiaina  are supposed to represent.

   The lst two on the list are gentlemen, but with no voice for themselves, having lost their identit, some time in the past.  The first is not exactly a slave to his own interests, which are combined and are identical with that of the planters.  And as manager of a foundry principally owned by the select 500, he cannot be expected to straddle two horses at this advanced period of his life, or do an impossibility, served monopoly and labor together.

   The last man on the list is the one who aims to please everybody, and generally succeeds in leasing himself best.

A Grand Conglomeration

_____

 

   Of all the dozes that the voter has ever been called upon to patronize, the conglomerate political pill offered by the Mechanics Union and supposed Hui Kalaiaina is the toughest mixture that the public is called upon to swallow.  It is about as nauseating a political mixture for the public to be expected to take, with either fork or spoon or in liquid form, as could have been selected from any community, or was ever offered to the people before.

   That not very long ago Sam was hiring Kahuna'a to pray John to death, because some Kahuna had Kahuna had proved b a tarantula poultice that Sam had been poisoned by sorcerism.  That today the pair have found odut what a pair of asses they were, but no wiser, and is now trying to pray those two "incorrigible" invincibles Bush-and-Wilcox to death.  Put not your trust in a pair of asses.

______________

 

   That Police detectives, as adduced in evidence before Court, go about and hire other people to do their dirty work for them, and they single out whom to arrest and take no notice of others who break the law.  This is "Kangaroo" tactics, a hop-skip-and-jump.

______

 

   That the gang who so often expresses their love for the Mechanics and the Kornakas, showed how much they were willing to sacrifice to them, when they voted the natives down who wanted honest men to represent them, and chose monopolists, gamblists, optimists, and meladoists.

______

 

   That the National Liberals of Makawao have assumed all the expense of their candidate for Representative for that district.

_______

 

   That the opium suspect made an unintentional expose of their future programme, when the made their Mechanics Union to profess the are nominations.  To thin for those representing the mechanics and workingmen's interest.

   

   That the two kanaka Muck-a-muck's, Sam and John, have bridged the anaana chasm, and the kahuna that prayed the business to a successful issue, was the Maui missionary sugar-grandee.  John fell on Sam's shoulder without a tear, poor Sam wept.  The scene drew the limpid stream of sympathy from Henry's eyes.  And who could stand it, to see such giants hugging one another like the two dancing bears that ar makiing the attraction around the streets of Honolulu today.

Platform of Principle

 

OF THE

 

HAWAIIAN NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY, PROTECTION TO HOME INDUSTRIES.

 

   7.  We are in favor of encouraging all home agriculture and industries, and all our native products, like rice, coffee, wool, tobacco, etc. should be protected and fostered by proper tariff regulation, and also it must be the duty of the Government, in its contracts and other operations, to give preference to national products over imported ones.

PROTECTION TO THE LABOURING CLASSSES.

 

   9.  We shall endorse all lmeasure tending to improve the condition of the working classes, and consequently without injuring any vested rights, we will advocate laws to prevent all further importation or employment of contract labor of any kind, upon conditions which will bring it into a ruinous and degrading competition with free Hawaiian or white labor.  We shall also, in the interest of the better protection.

 

SMALL FARMS AND HOMESTEADS.

 

   10.  The wealthy fraction of the population have hitherto prevented the development of an independent class of citizens; the public lands have been acquired an have been tied up in a few hands or parceled to suit favorites, and small farmers and planters have been driven out by corporations or combinations of capitalists; but as small farming is conducive to the stability of the state.  It should be encouraged by a new and more liberal Homestead act, by which the ownership of small tracts of land and the settlement thereon of families of our present population,--and especially of the native Hawaiians who have been left almost homeless in their country-should be rendered possible.  To that end, the Government and Crown lands,(in so far as can be done without invading vested rights) should be devoted as soon as possible to homesteads, and conferred upon bona-fide settlers free of taxes for a limited period.

   It should be the further aim of government to, at once, so far improve the means of transportation,--local, national and international--as to provide, in all the districts, cheap means of conveying the product of the soil to market.

ELECTORAL RIGHT

 

   11.  We hold that upright and honest manhood, and not the possession of wealth, arbitrarily fixed, should count;-the right to vote for nobles as well as representatives, and no more power should be accorded to the ballot of the rich man than to the ballot of the poor man.  The discrimination in fact or of wealth now made in our Constitution is contrary to all the eternal principles of right and justice and must be abolished.  To this end, we will favor a leveling of the present distinction of wealth and classes which blemish our laws with respect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby restoring to the native Hawaiians privileges which pertainn to them in their own country, and of which they have been unjustly deprived.

 

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

 

   12.  We favor the expenditure of sufficient sums to secure a number of needed public improvements on Oahu and other Islands:  school, railroads and harbors and wharves, public light, and also a  thorough system of reservoirs and water-works, not only for Honolulu, but through-out the other islands.
