Aloha Lahui Hawaii.

   The practical defeat of the Liberal Party is the last opportunity of the Hawaiians to regain a political footing in their own country, and they will now continue to be trampled upon as they have been since 1@87.  The election of 1892 marks another period in the extinction of the Hawaiian race and the utter hopelessness of young Hawaiians to elevate themselves in the land of their birth.  The less on of the election in Honolulu is that the principal white residents ignored all honor and principle and united in a determined vote against the Hawaiian.  A malignant race prejudice has been shown by the foreigner against the native.  The blow has been struck by ungenerous plutocrats and monopolists who have fattened on the soil of Hawaii.  It looks now as though the only hope for equal rights in this country lies in--shall we say it--annexation.

 

A Striking Analogy.

   The British Colony of Barbados are inflicted with a class of "absentee proprietors" whose relations to the colony are similar to that of our "sugar barons" here.  They have a "West India Committee" whose character and operation corresponds somewhat to our "planters labor and Supply Co."  The following reference to them by a Barbados paper suggests some serious thoughts as to the attitude of our "sugar barons" to this country.--The West India Committee, is a somewhat anamolous body, self constituted, unofficial, but possessed of not a little influence in Downing Street.  It is composed of persons who are known here, generally with disrespect, as the "absentee proprietors," that is, sugar estate owners resident in England.  These gentlemen are not liked by the colonists.  Generally, indeed, they are cordially disliked and their influence with the British Government frequently exercised against the projects of the colonists.

   @ colonists say in the first place that the absentee proprietors are a de@ and a dead weight upon (the Islands unnecessarily ?), and as the @ result of their absenteeism  @ they @ as much and give  @ that their  @ are inevitably run on @ plan every effort being @ of the land @ be made to give without any corresponding  effort to improve @ they band together to op@ every scheme of colonial pro@ can possibly involve @ the sugar industry and to @ the Islands all kinds of @ that interest from @ of the public burdens."

 

LOST!

MONOPOLY TRIUMPHANT BARONS AND BOODLERS

will @ the high horse over the Mechanics and Workingmen.

NO EQUAL RIGHTS

between plutocrats and commoner.

EAST INDIAN COOLIES

will now dig your graves of the Hawaiian and the Workingmen at 15 cent a day.

A THURSTONIAN CABINET

will now hold high carnival in the public office.

BOSS BOWLER

and his

TAMMANY

are now our political dictators.

BOSS BOWLER.

   Bankers and lawyers, merchants and their clerks, parsons and their deacons, have bent the knee to thee Boss Bowler and you are now our political dictator.  KA LEO congratulates you upon our easy success.  With such a gullible constituency as the intelligent (?) citizens of Honolulu have proved themselves to be, you have magnificent vistas of boodle and power before you.  You are tammany and tammany is yours; Tweedy and Buckley are your prototypes and we sincerely hope that you will take full advantage of the homage that the foreigners of Honolulu have paid to you.  Let not your ambition remain in the tens of thousands, but soar up into the hundreds of thousands.  KA LEO strikes you in advance for the job of cartage of boodle.

 

ON DIT.

   That the Red Lion looks sand and lonely, too bad.

   That John Brown's whiskey bottle loes empty on the shelf.

   That John Brown's baby's got a pimple on its nose glory glory Haleluyah.

   That we understand from good authority that J. A. Kahoonei Representative of the National Reform Party, swindled Boss Bowler by throwing over the Catholic vote to the National Liberal Party.  Hurrah!  Hurrah!

   That Wilcox did no Election @ring whatever the office certainly chose the man.

   That by a system of intimidation and fraud the Noble vote went ahead.

   That Charley @ will find later that he helped the wrong men.

   That all Inspectors of Election were strong national Reform.

   That poor Kanoonei only got @300 out of the big sell out.  Haole gobbled the boodle in chief.

   That Reform voters went solid for the National purchasers.

   That Kauiukou L O @ are for sale very cheap.

   That Kikila's Baby @haoles and relatives got him.  Ballota nui loa.

   That a Baby carriage for Koolauloa went freight free by rial 2nd @

   That Johnny says he is going to be a Pradistant, the R. C. vote went back in him.

   That the remains of the Holomua is going to be moved to a new boneyard, to be presided over by the old Lady of the P. C. A.

   That Ben made a mistake in not getting Kinney over from Salt Lake for the campaign.  Willie had a very winning way with him likipu Thurston.

   That the contemptible coward Diogens had the bottom kicked out of his tub by C. W. Ashford.

   That Mr. Marques was the best friend the Railway had in the last Legislature, but beware ye Boodlers.  To encourage honest enterprise is one thing; to attempt to bag all the Boodle in sight is quite another.

   That every clerk in the Pacific Hardware had his hack for the use of Ashfords voters.

   That some of the inspectors--notably in the first and fifth districts exceeded the "discretion" allowed by law--Natives were ordered to go and get their tax receipts as in the years gone by, an oath was not sufficient.  Partizan Inspectors are readily seen through.

   That John Ena should remember in speaking of Bush trying to get a living and helping his people, that the people or their cause never received much help from Mr. Ena, except in the mutual way of wages.  Bush would have to confess that he has not made a fortune by the people, which may be owing to a want of brain power is not decerning and pursuing the true road to wealth, and the entrance to select society.  But it does not fall to every mans lot to be able to rake in a rich widow and a divorce suit.

    That (the light weight) @ will now have time to attend to his duties as chambermaid.

   That the deeat of Dillingham was, says the P. C. Advertiser, a race issue.  Yes verily, a "race" to get away from the meat trust, the water and milk trust, the newspaper trust, the Asiatic coolies trust, the labor and supply trust, the designs of the R. R. trust and the other octopus trusts which @ in his benevolence is capable of constructing.
