Political Echoes

            Some scribbler in the Advertiser of Saturday last approves of the candidates of the Liberal Party with the exception of A. Marques.  There is an air of dishonest spite about the remake which is characteristic of the little mindedness of habitues of the editorial sanctum of the Advertiser who are known to have personal antipathy to the gentleman in question.

            Now the National Liberals consider Mr. Marques the best man they have got on their ticket and therefore placed him at the head of it.  His record in this community of over 14 years is above reproach, which is more than can be said of some of the men whose names the Advertiser writer advanced.  If nothing else were placed to Mr. Marques credit, he might well rest on the fact that he was the first man in Honolulu to think of, or venture to @ an @ well, and demonstrate the possibility of obtaining water in that way, which has been such a boon to this country.

            Mr. Marques is not a demagogue or a machine politician.  Just a gentleman of culture and mental attainments whose quiet life in this community has been only a benefit to those with whom he has associated. He was dropped by the Mechanics Union because he would not stoop to the dishonorable methods of the boodlers ring.  He has accepted a a nomination from the National Liberal Party at the earnest solicitation of many delegations of his friends among the native Hawaiians and the Portuguese.  The National Party are fortunate to secure him upon their ticket, for he is known to have sound and liberal views on political matters and his influence with the other Hawaiian leaders will @ train party action and keep it in its proposed course of honest, integrity and dignity.

           

            Mr. Marques and Mr. J. S. W@ker were the only two white men elected upon the National Reform ticket of 1890 that stood @ @ and faithfully by their party colleagues and party platform in high distinction to the others who proved treacherously false. The voters of 18@ do not forget this and will be governed accordingly.

            It would be more honorable and creditable to all parties to conduct this political campaign upon its actual issues, upon the several platforms and the pronounced views of the several leaders thereon.  Of course it will be the privilege of the party organs to ventilate there opinions on the public record and character of the men who are up for @ but there should be no personal detraction or abuse, no @dding the light on false issue, no @ of falsehood or misrepresentations and no sensational falsehoods.  But if the Advertiser and 'Elele, the organs of the stiff-headed reformers, and the Boodlers Union respectively, undertake the personal vilification of the nominees of the National Liberals we will turn the unmerciful lights and shadows of actual reminiscence of the records of their favorites upon them.  Missionaries, philistines boodlers, nationalists, all have been guilty of the frailties and errors of human nature, but those matters are better kept in the astral shadows of their existence and not made the subject of political animosity.

 

            The National Liberal Party and their leaders have asserted, reasserted, and now swear it with a solemn oath that there is no dishonest motive in their political movements, nor is their policy formulated for mere party supremacy, but with a patriotic regard for the future and permanent welfare of the whole country.

 

            The Advertiser of Monday the 11th inst., inspired by Thurstons wordy display of self importance, denounce the National Liberal ticket as "incurably bad."  This is probably the result of some corrupt bargaining, for in its Friday's issue the Advertiser rather commended the ticket.  But we do not expect fair treatment at the hands of the "Advertiser" for they represent a nest of incurable bigots and conceited Pharisees.  An honest heart and fair play are two jewels that they never had sufficient wealth of character to possess.  The editorial and reportorial black guardism which they have indulged in of late are apparently borrowed from the style of the "Jolly Giants" and the "Police Gazette," but they loose the force of argument upon the public mind by their vicious spitefulness.

 

            Mr. Thurston inflicts upon the public through the Advertiser a long rigamarole of his personal opinions which consists principally of abusive insinuation against the men of the Liberal Party.  We will review this impulsive young mans composition in a future issue and perhaps meet his innuendos against national leaders, with echoes of the past misdeeds of some of his own unprincipled henchmen.  Bush and Wilcox have more personal and political honesty than some of the boodlers and opium smugglers who enjoyed the protection of the Thurston administration.

            Mr. Thurston would have the public to think that the National Liberal Party are opposed to a treaty with the United States but the contrary is the case the National Liberal Party is for a treaty with the United States but desire a treaty couched on such terms and conditions as will be fair and just to all, not a clique or cliques, whether industrial or financial or political, and a treaty that has no clauses inserted that will give Mr. Thurston and his party or any other parties a semblance of excuse at any time or on any occasion to call upon any foreign armed forced to land upon these shores, to want not only to shot down the aborigine or haole who may use their birthright privileges in opposing Mr. Thurston and his backers.  When they stand out against him in maintaining their political rights.  The National Liberal Party and their adherents do want a treaty, that the aborigines have something to say in its formulation and not as has been done, formerly to be totally ignored in his own country except in form.  Would Mr. Thurston or the P.C.A. please to inform the people who it was that inaugurated machine politics in Hawaii nei in the campaign of 1887-1888, and paved the way for Tammyites @up in our midst.

Mssrs Planters

            In reply to Mr. Alex. Young in the P.C.A. of the 12th inst., please remember that you have had the labor market under control for 16 years, during which time you made capital out of labour, and during all of those long years you have shown a strong desire and have party accomplished our ruin, you replaced white and native teamster, firemen, engineers, and in fact all kinds of skilled labor, with the Asiatic cheap botch.  You aided him to steal the knowledge from the foreign mechanics, and as soon as he the Asiatic could do a botch job you discharged your whiteman and native teamster and fireman.  The something you are doing to-day right under the eyes of the people of Honolulu, and no farther away than the Ewa Plantation, the instances are too numerous to mention.  Why therefore should you feel surprised to find us determined to take the matter into our own hands.  We will deal squarely by you in the matter of field and mill labor.  But you never did and never will given us an honest show.  The day of retribution is upon you, we cannot trust you with our fate any longer.  We poor whites and natives will have a large say in the future and dictate to you from the ballot box, all your lying verbosity and subsidised and prostituted portion of the Press will not persuade us off the track. @@

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 and@ (in so far as can be done without invading vested rights) should be @ as soon as possible to homesteads and conferred upon bona-fide settlers free of taxes for a limited @.

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

 

ELECTORAL RIH@T.

            11. We hold that upright and honest manhood, and not the possession of wealth, arbitrarily fixed, should @ 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 favor of wealth new 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 @ing of the present distinction of wealth and @ which blemish our lawn with respect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby restoring to the native Hawaiians privileges which pertain 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.
