PER ORDER

 

Property Qualification.

Somewhere about eighteen and a half centuries ago a great reformer and philosopher arose in Syria and floored the human race with the statement that a man with property was not necessarily any better than a man without.  In fact, he distinctly inti@ that the probabilities tended the other way and throughout his whole career all his blessings and his promises were for the @ and all his ana@ were si@ted @ the rich.

  He has now @ @50,000,000 professional followers and except possibly a @ two or three dozen, mostly in jail they are @early all @.  For the Christian world @ sticks to the great worldly axiom that property is the one criterion of merit and never under any possible combination of circumstances, does it set @ to its alleged spiritual creed.  There is no real democracy in any yet explored region of the earth - what is called a democracy only deserves the name because it is a shade more democratic than an aristocracy.  There is no Church which does not anuf@ fifty two times per ann@ about the blessings of being poor and yet almost everyone of them will holler for the police if an u@ vagrant-the living symbol of the blessed state of poverty, appears within its doors.

  There is no @ social reformer who will not admit that all men were @ equal and if there is one who will set up to the creed in its entirety his name is not known and his address is unavailable.  The worship of property in some shape or other has grown with a thousand centuries of gravel until it has become an instict or a disease.  Possibly it is an @ complaint, and if so the Christian faith is a failure and @ impossibility, and had better be given up.

 

  The stock argument of the conservative in favor of plural voting is that it should be the reward of thrift.  He always @ for this one particular virtue, but he never ventures to @ definitely that it is greater than any other virture.  Thrift, after all, is  only the habit of accumulation coin, and is merely another branch of the great virtue by which a monkey accumulates nuts.  It is the science of wearing a dirty shirt, and thus, @ on the wash-bill-the noble trait of sleeping; fourteen in a room and keeping down the rent-the shining virtue of working and walloping a wearly bony bor@ to death, and @ending out the profits of the @ misery on good "security."

 

  If the @pical conservative were asked whether it was a better and a grander thing to be a common @ grubber and go to sh@.-the conservative is a hog on sheol.-or to be a Christian of the apostolic pattern and finally go to heaven, he would answer unanimously and at once that the latter was far preferable but he would suggest that he would enjoy his celestial wings and his halo with more complete joy if he could be sure that the land and bricks and mortar which he had left behind him would still confer plural representation on his heir.  This shows with sufficient distinctness that his christianity is a lie, and that he might as well be a budhist of the most pronounced type.  If he were asked whether it was better to have the free-hold of a mud hovel or to be a patriot of the order of Bruce or Hago or Garibaldo or Lincoln, he would undoubtedly whoop for the patriot but he never suggests that the man who has served his country should have extra voting power, and that the gilded animal who never served anybody save himself if @ not.  This demonstrates that his patriotism is @ a lie of the choicest description.  And he never by any chance moves that the @ of genius or learring, underpaid school teachers or the brief scarce lawyers, should by @ of their education have an extra share of political power; the only individual he takes any interest in is the one who has scraped money together no matter how he got it.  And this proves that the Tory @ a lie altogether, from his soul @ boots, and that the only thing he values in all the earth is @.

 

KAULIA IS A PATRIOT.

  The biped who is aspiring for senatorial honors as candidate of the "Sons of Hawaii" in the Second Ward is too @ ing for any sphere in life above that of a lackey.  Before we give his speech at the Armory on Saturday night as interpreted into english by the Hon Antone Rosa, and recorded by our own reporter.  We do not intend @sting good pris@ ink for the purpose of keeping him out of the legislature, for he has no more chance of getting there than he has of getting an interest in the "Construction Company".  We would not notice him at all were it not that @ chairman of the meeting he was Dillingham's fugleman and a representative "Son " This individual J. K. Kaulia said:

  "I wish to announce that I have been requested by the Sons of Hawaii to preside at this meeting.  I have @ for the 8 @ District.  I consider the @ question is the life of the land and our side has advocated it.  I consider that the staff of life is the main point but Ashford @ the constitutional question as a bait.  The constitutional question is not the main question.  The means by which a man liv @ money, i@ tho principal thing to consider."

  The foregoing are the "sensible observations on the situation" uttered by Mr. Kaulia, which the Advertiser report omitted.

  J. K. Kaulia no doubt felt that it was a solemn thing to @ a political faith that was too foul @ he expounded in comprehensible terms.  It was perhaps too much to expect that the Sons of Hawaii when they got tired of being a part of the Hawaiian nation would have honestly stated their position, but it would have been a pleasant and refreshing thing if they had done so.  Several members of the sons have privately expressed their disgust with such @ as Kaulia.  We advise honest Hawaiian to quit such society and play the part of men.  The man who will wear the badge of servitude and bow the knee to a few gilded nobles is no man.  We will suggest a resolution for the patriotic Kaulia to move in Ward 2.  It embodies all he said at the Armory:

  Resolved, that the chief end of man is to own ground and bricks, and compared to this, honour, honesty, religion, intelligence, industry, philantropy and everything else are of no account.

  That historical character Judas Iscariot was by comparison a model of fidelity, and patriotism Kaulia had the advantage over the other @ that he @ the benefit of the teachings of nineteen @ Christian @.  Moreover the original Judas repented of his @ and hung himself; but Kaulia goes out to a feaast of roast pig.  Verily well does Kaulia exemplify his words "g@" never mind if you poor natives who getting only 49 dollars a month have @ one @ to the 50 dollar man's ten, get money I may and got pig cheap when you can, John Ena got plenty.  Let us each drink and be merry even if politically we are dead.

 

Mr. James Gay

  This gentleman is well and favorably known on this island and all over the kingdom as a man of education and character as well as being independent in @.  Mr. Gay is married to a Hawaiian lady and is raising a family of @ sons and daughters of @ soil.

  He is in the @ sympathy with our platform and ticket and the election is certain.  Mr. Gay's record in the legislature of 1878 proves him a man will qualified for the peoples trust as Noble for the legislature of 1892.

 

From Awaialua.

  Our correspondent writes: "The plantation is working for K@a, and boast that they alone can secure him 60 votes.  He rides around the place decorated with leis, accompanied by the uncle of the fair lady he courts at Laie, and a host of fellows partial to gi@.  One marked pecularity I have noticed the last two days, the like of which as hardley ever been in Waialua before, a great many people @ to be a kind of oblivious conditiono from the gratuitus use of gin and beer.  I don't know how it is so, but the coincidence of this @lian state of things and Kikila's visit looks very strange to say the least of it.  But Wilcox election is assured if he will come down.  The kanakas love gin, but they will not cast their votes for a man who has often deceived the Hawaiians and antagonized their interests."

 

Poor Royaly

  A Native styling hemself D. Paulo is going around Punchbowl demanding and obtaining from the Portuguese tenants of the Qu@ Dowager 25 cents a month for every goat.  Believing it an imposition a white lady from whom Paulo demanded goat money bounced him a good United States vernacular.  She wanted to know if Royalty was not reaping enough out of Punchbowl.  The management of the Punchbowl settlement is an argument in favor of abolishing the corrupt Cro@ Lande manipuation.  Not a dollar has been spent on the Punchbowl @ by Queen Kapiolani, and the government will make no roads on Crown Lands although the people are heavily taxed.

 

ON DIT.

  That the other day when John Ena was advised not to employ Chinese just @, before the election to build his new house, he replied, "d-n the mechanics, what are they @"

That is @ political @ and @ to @ at the @.  Try @ jokes @ a little salt.

  That another @ .  Oh yes, Sir Roger and @ flavored with @ Frank the Cook's fertilizer.

  That Doctor K@ working wonders in the @ and Bridges department.

  That the @ is working @ in the Attorney General's Office.

  That the P. C. A@ to slander the Hawaiian Liberal Party.

  That the rival @ of @ and K olau babers will be fully discussed after the campain in these @.

  That Peterson who was Attorney General is repsonsible for the P@ chinese being let loose.  If a mechanic @ a job @ damages.

  That Mr. Jim Kearney @ man machinist at the de@ Union Foundry is now in charge of a squad of Portuguese laborers @ the new fish market.

  That @ one @ has the pull @ that it is a good time at @ show kindness to portuguese voters or laborers.

  That interference on the @ of missionary (?) hoodlums with public speakers wi@ in @ he resented in anything but a gentle manner.

  That @ dirty tricks are so @ go to press.  J. J. Williams @ live @ was reported dead.  Who did it? Find the rascal.

  That the Sugar Planters are in a @.  The Supreme Court decision in the Pa@ case is now in order.  Is it being withheld until after the elections?

  That Conservative, in Monday's Advertiser says truly: "If the Reform Party follows the lead of the one who led it to disruption "@" @ Are you listening Ben? Too late now but if you had consulated us instead of W. B. C. it would have a @ you a heap of pilikia.

  That the free@ of 1887 swallowed one tablesppoonful of mechanic mixute and now in less than 48 hours it acts as an @.  Good again John, your dose worked @.  Better @ in the @ of good Reform sanity @than he swalled in that bottomless @descrip vortex: The Boodlers U@.

  That when the Advertiser says that Ashford intended @ Dillingham's Armory Meeting.  It simply lies, as Ben would say.  In "cold blood."  The Liberal Party can captured anything as Ben will find on election day.  The conducgt of the gang of ro@ who were outside hooting Mr. Ashford was in marked contract to the courteous treatment Mr. Dillingham received inside.  The corrupt practice of trying to get voters from other wards into ward three, is a move of Mr. Dillingham's friends which the Liberal Party dropped on to.  Hence those tears.
