THE DAY.

The good results of the Natio3uilj Beform victorv on Oahu are already; showing among the people. It is| almost nseless to repeat that -the | public sentiment of the day is one of satisfaqtion and confi4ence among all our people. The general leeling pf distrust hss passed away, whieh has for the pasi two years kept the people of different races from mingliug and freely expressing their opinions ;>nd discussing the political situatiou. Confidence in future political justice being done,- without prejudice to auy. one class, has brought the native Hawaiian and the haole t into closer political relations. This argues well for tlie social and poli' tical reconstmction of the people of the entire kingdom to the satisfaction of all.

We do not indulge in rose'Culored views for the future. We rather adhere to the maiter-of-fact, as already esiablished by. late political events. For years past there has been a tacit under.standing āmong raee factions ixere that they agree to disagree. This has been one of the most prolific causes of political evil that has prevailed here of late years. īts ugliness has not been fully seen until years of political quarreling terminated in political oppression exercised by the dominant faction. It is a further fact that the,native race has received most of tha political following these political disagreements. But otli3r elasses of good citizens have also been made to feel the rub of political events and policies from administration to The natural has that Imis en. gendered political cross-purposes, whieh the National Beform party fiuds itself called upon to reconcile.. The pres#nt government is qnite right in intimating throi|gh its oiHeial journai thslt the Naiional Beform party iias undertaken a big contract. It has ; but we belie"ve the people will suecessfully compkte the contract to the advantage and satisfaction of the entire kingdom.

Xhe contraet referred to above is political xeconstruction and the llarmonizing of those political and soeial elejnents, whieh have so long 1 ai sword's points 011 aceount mutual misunderstandings rather t' i from real caws.eB, The first ste]' in tliis direction was taken by th people themselves on the fifth da\ of Feb< ruary, 1890, The secoud and most jdecisive step will be taken by the new government when the well <!■ termiue.d poiiov of the National Befor •; party is practically and impartialh i ,rried out in the interests of the p: »le as a whole. Justice to all. mui favors to none will be, as it should be, tue political motto of any really good government, The people now liave their s£oulders to the wheels of gO¥ernment. Let them see to it that ,they plaee the Hawaiian Government wheie the indifferenee or self-intej:ost of former administrations has hereto* iore prevented it being placed ! ; j«. r-r fr " yi f' r rrf'r-[ W<dkc 3 r lit<lwrU-a aunouiiee tht" selvet> as e )ntrftctore apd ir auotber oplumo.
