Political Echos.

 

            We, the people of England, said the three little tailors of Tooley Street C and we, the people of Hawaii, say the handful of hibernians of the Boodlers Union.  Boss Bowler and his lieutenants.  Quinn and Sullivan of our Honolulu Tammany are puffed up with about as much importance as the little tailors of Tooley Street, and even though they carry Wideman, Berger, Macfarlane and Walker in their lead, they will find that the people of Hawaii will heed their demagogy about as little as the people of England did the ridiculous assumption of the Tooley Street tailors.

 

            Ach du lieber, himmel, it was amusing to see old man Widemann sitting at a honored place at the meeting of the boodlers Union last Thursday, and cooly announcing his disappointment at nor receiving a nomination.  The Mechanics Union as it exist at present has been deserted by its best men and is now only a handful of men mainly from the Union Iron Works and from Sullivan’s horse stables, whom the “boss” controls in the interests of the Widemann-Macfarlane faction.  Therefore it is a surprise that the old Teuton did not get a nomination, though it would probably have been the first time that Micks and Deutchers ever pulled together in politics.

           

            But for Mr. Widemann to expect a nomination from any of the old National Reform Party was an absurd conceit.  He was recently made Cabinet Minister, chiefly because he had been a leader in the National Party, and as he controlled the Premier, he had it in his power if he chose, to initiate some of the changes and reforms in administration which his party had so earnestly agitated for.  But instead, he @ as a stumbling bloc, and was actually hostile to his old associates of the National Party.  One misdeed of his administration, directed against youthful adherents of the National Party and clerks in the civil service, has made him many enemies among Hawaiians, and stands out strongly against him.  For to gratify a personal spite and to assist a hybrid countryman to do the same, he @ the power of his office, to cause @ or less distress in more than one respected Hawaiian family.

           

            Mr. Widemann brief career as a leader of a political party and subsequently as a Cabinet Minister was characterized by stupid blunders which has lost him the confidence of the majority of the voters of the National Party who once elected him a noble, and now believe that it would be a sensible act, at his stage of life to retire from the arena of political activities, in which he can no more win renown, and rest only upon the laurels which are due to his old age, and to his having raised a large respected and honored family.

 

            The presence of Hon. J. S. Walker at the Boodlers Union meeting was a surprise to hi many friends who prefer to believe that he is honorably faithful to the National Party that elected him to the Legislature.  Until we have more conclusive evidence to the contrary, we shall believe that Mr. Walker has been deceived by the treacherous faction of boodlers who are “running” the Union, and that when he discovers that the real National Party no longer recognises the Mechanics Union, but are reunited under the same old party colors and principles in the Liberal League and the International League, he will return to his natural allegiance.  We do not believe as yet that Mr. Walker can join with the boodlers, and the stranger mechanics of the Union Iron Works, as against the native Hawaiians, and the conservative workingmen of long resident.

 

            Lieutenant Quinn was anxious to impress upon Widemann, Berger and his other distinguished hearers the extreme importance of the road boards, which was accepted as a polite limit as to where his ambitious lay, and what he expected as a polite limit as to where his ambitions lay, and what he expected as a reward from Tammany for campaign services.  Quinn said he considered the election of the road-boards of far more importance than the nobles and representatives.  The position of the road supervisor would be a fat billet for a Tammany man, but we know some one who ill never get there all the same, for the National party has its eye on a good national man who is neither boodler, nor reformer, who is liable to get government fodder mixed up with his own horse fee, and have his errors covered up by a complainant minister.

 

            Tra-la-la-la, ta-ta Boss Bowler.  More anon.

EDITOR KA LEO: C  

            In an editorial in the P. C. Advertiser of Jan. 6 is the following:  “The Hon. Mark Robinson is undoubtedly put in on the scriptural principle that a little haven beneath the whole lump, which @ a gratifying illustration of Mr. Bush’s official piety.  We do not believe that Mr. Robinson will consent to @ in such company, or officiate in heaven for such dough headed @”

            Can the Advertiser man @ in one act of superior Legislature ability performed by Mr. Mark Robinson during the sitting of the reform Legislature.  Mr. Robinson being ready at all times to vote aye or nay according to the wishes of the reform leaders, this doubtless has led the Advertiser astray and caused it to consider Mr. Robinson as a politician.  Then again Mr. Robinson carrying a great deal heavier sack than the other unfortunate candidates makes Mr. Robinson one of the solid men you know; and of course far more respectable than Mr. Bush & co. are allowed to be.  What a sin it is to be poor!  Honest intentions are no @.  The man is the saint, who sports the big well-filled sack nowadays.

EDITO KA LEO: C

            The nominating of Mr. C. W. Ashford for the next Legislature by the Liberal Party has caused another burst of that peculiar religious charity little know outside of the scared college of Advertiser politics.  The Advertiser is supposed to be owned and managed by professed christians, and at the same time @ @ unchristian mode of throwing machine political mud at a repenitent sinner because he had the true manhood to repent, and try to rectify that @nable wrong done to the natives, when robbed of their franchise, in the vote for the nobles.  The reader will understand that at the time the natives were so robbed, they have wronged no one, but were scorched just for the sins committed to one man.

            Up to the present time, there is not one of those (we are holier than thou) who held a high hand in that devilish game practiced upon the natives in 1887, who has shown the least desire to try and undo the wrong done, and it is left for the outside wordly sinner Mr. C. W. Ashford to make the first break and show those “very pious ones,” the courage and spirit of a true christian purpose.  Go ahead Mr. Achford in your good work, and may the good God be with you, is the sincere prayers of a workingman.
