KA LEO.

JOHN E. BUSH,

EDITOR,

HONOLULU, NOVEMBER 10, 1892

GOOD MORNING!

            We once more enter the arena of English journalism.  Circumstances have arisen, which owing to the muzzled existence of our cotemporaries, again necessitate the reopening of our former English columns.  Our course as formerly will be marked by fearlessness and independence.  Our columns, as heretofore, will not bare the ear mark of any clique, nor be under any one’s control.

            The Platform of the Liberal Party, represents our political policy.  Politics will be our paramount issue.  A small space will be allotted to correspondence, we, however, assuming no responsibility for matter published as such.

            Unswayed by malice, uninfluenced by the lures of Mammon, untrammeled journalism will be our guiding principle.

 

THE OUTCOME.

            In order that the foreigners of these Islands may under stand the principles, position and objects of the Liberal Party, we have decided to raise our voice again in the English language.  We feel our cause to be a just one.  We believe that we can afford to appeal to public opinion and that the people will support us in the struggle for representative government, equal right, and fair play.

            For several months there has been a hot contest between the throne and the representative of the people.  The result, long deferred, has been a victory for the Queen.  She has vindicated her claim to form a ministry for the legislature, to dictate to them whom they shall receive, and to break up any organized opposition by picking and piecing together any combination to attain her ends and hold a majority.  In consideration of their acquiescence the Reform received three seats in the cabinet, while the Queen retained control of the Attorney General’s office.  The whole fight has been around and about the marshal’s office.  The Reformers obtained no better condition than they could have had a month ago.  When they conceded the vital point he compromise was easy.  Cecil Brown having come to an understanding with the Marshal, chose three of the strongest Reformers he could obtain to support him; among them was naturally G.N. Wilcox, one of the men nominated by the opposition caucus.  It has since been attempted to make it appear that the cabinet was formed by the premier.  Mr. Wilcox is to honest to make any such assertion himself, and he ought not to allow others to do so for him.  The Liberals did not figure in the compromise at all, except as an element that the Reform could get along without.

            The Liberals are left in a peculiar and difficult position – out in the cold; while the Reformers and Royalists embrace, shake hands and make up.

            Personally the cabinet is not particularly objectionable.  It is certainly of more substautial composition than any of its predecessors.  The Liberals might support it had a due regard for the rights of others been respected, and the claims of the Hawaiian people recognized.  But the Reform having abandoned the PRINCIPLE, betrayed their friends, taken the enemy into their camp, can not expect the unwavering cooperation which they received at our hands during the struggle that has placed them again in power.

 

A DIFFERENCE.

 

            Two Reverend gentlemen, of the same persuasion, have been heard to give their opinion upon the late action of their representatives, which differed very materially and shows how some men soon forget “principle” and compromise their claim to manhood, for the sake of serving their stomachs.  Mr. H.- speaking to a gentleman said: “This is a splendid Cabinet.  Of course, we had to give way to Wilson and the Queen.”  Mr. O’s – opinion was: “That the action of the Reform Party, was unprincipled and cowardly towards their principle, and to those who have honestly stood by them.”

 

POLITICAL TREACHERY!

 

            The Reformers, so called have during the last ministerial struggle, proclaimed in stentorian terms, through their mouth pieces, that they were not objecting to the personnel of any cabinet, but were fighting for a principle – the right of the majority to rule, or representive government.  This being one of the principles defined in the Liberal Party’s platform, there was an immediate coalition of the Reform and the Progressive Liberals in the House to sustain this principle.  These two elements formed a majority of the House, and by combined action had almost won their point.

            The recognized journal of the Reform, the Advertiser in its issue of the 5 ^th inst., editorially stated as follows: “we cannot remind our readers too often or too strongly that the opposition is fighting for a principle, not for persons. * * It is @ighting for majority rule.  It is giving all its energies to establish that the will of the majority not to the personal taste of the sovereign makes the law and the government.”  Why has their boasted tenacity to principle disappeared?  Why do such Honorable gentlemen believe their own words and take water?  How is it that they have accepted a cabinet from Her Majesty.

            The new Premier the Hon. G. N. Wilcox returned to Honolulu on last Sunday was called for @ Her Majesty.  He responded and she submitted to him three colleagues; which cabinet he in turn submitted to the opposition caucus.  The Progressive Liberals held that in accordance with their principles, this cabinet, not coming from the opposition in caucus could not be accepted, and positively refused to support them, ten of the opposition out of twenty-six members present refusing to countenance the cabinet from the unprincipled manner in which the Reform Boodlers had taken in its formation.

            The Reformers acting upon the thesis that enough was as good as a feast came out in there true colors and showed the cloven hoof.  They, from all indications, entered into an agreement to retain C.B. Wilson in office, providing they should be given the rest of the hog.  In fact, they lived well up to the sentiment of one of their leaders, i.e., to hug the devil to gain their end.  In their eagerness to grab all, that principle, through which, they had obtained the support of the Progressive Liberals, and the sympathy of the public, was lost sight ofl.

            However, they are simply deluded if they imagine for a moment that they can hold power, after entraping their political allies as they have done.  If we are going to have an entirely factional cabinet then, let us have one composed of representative Hawaiians only.

            The Progressive Liberals, I am sure, will remain true to their principle, and will endeavor to their uttermost to obtain a cabinet in which the Hawaiian and foreigner will be alike represented.

 

ON DIT.

            That the reform wing of the Legislature, pure and unadulterated have found it quite convenient to allow the House to go on with public business unobstructed.

 

            That the old adage that a leopard can never change his spots has been verified lately in the action of human leopards.

 

            That the Cabinet has agreed to keep C.B. Wilson in, as Marshal, on condition that the Queen would give way and allow Hon.G.N. Wilcox to be the head of the Cabinet instead of Hon. Cecil Brown.

 

            That the Queen has shown more principle than the Reform Party.

 

            That the Advertiser is eating dirt – and Henry is trying to save it.

 

            That Missionary principle is once more on the service.

 

            That the intrigue between the Cabinet and Washington will be renewed a la Thurston.

 

            That the same “principle” that caused the split in the Reform Party before will be renewed and that Cecil Brown will have the opportunity to do now what C.W. Ashford did in the past.

 

            That “principle” to the leaders of the Reform Party means “boodle” on the guard scale.

 

            That “pretense” is the better term to apply to the pretended friends of popular government.

 

            That the Liberals are united once more, and are staunch against all lying combinations based upon the principle of representation.

 

            That Cecil Brown formed the Cabinet, and all said to the contrary is a down right fabrication made out of whole cloth.

 

            That it is a “lie” that Mr. P.C. Jones would not accept a Cabinet, as much as the story that he so loved Boston that he would never again return to Hallelujah!

 

            That it  is not true that Thurston sent for Peter Cushman to return and feast upon the government carcass at the expense of the public.

 

            That the Queen has conceded nothing to the “Majority,”
 and that the “reform” section of the majority has willingly sacrificed those who have stood by them, because the Cabinet is made entirely of “reformers,”

 

            That it is true and quite consistent with the generally accepted public opinion that W.O. Smith and Thurston had not the courage of their convictions.
