The "Elele" writi ngs are as cold as Stone plastered and mixed with Bowl(d)ers. That the Bulletin Editors ' squirm—loudly—when their corns are trod on. ! That the meek and huinhle Kenyon bears ail the blunders and other things laid at the doors of the poliee Department. Well done good and €aithful servant, your loyalty is worthy of many sovereigns. That it is a query, whether that Blooming 250 ealibre shot gun was intended for the Museum or for the Marshal to pull ihe tricker. That the new sign at E. O. Hall's only needed A. L. C. O. H. O. L, to complete it, and as a sign to commemorate the enterprise of the firm in supplying Unele Sam's antipodian offsprings with something to mix with pemiean to preserve animal heat. That theHni Kalaiaina, by some of its conimitteemen, ai€§>btaining monev from the Chinese, by a pieee of paper v which professes to given them the power to vote. We are sorrv it is so, 1 but we must speak out and protest. That a native Hawaiian have true triends in Bishop Willis ahd Rev. Mr. Barnes of the Angiican Churcb. That Bowler says that iyjither Bush nor Wiicox sfeauds a sbowat the next eleetion, while be carries Kalioonei and.the im§ginsi'y Cstholie votc with bim. Wc(feel sorry to hear zealous a sou of the Chnreh dr;iwing: its iiame in the vortex of the political pool. Thotigh we ourselves are not a son of Rome, yet we Ihave a deep re£ard and respect for that emanates from tli|it Church that is rigl>Vyid propeij, bttt not such bla - as putlthemselves fbrward as the oraclee of a large aud res pectable class of reiigionists.

wards the dififerent Mands oi t»e J£hag-~--dom, oatside of OaiiH; fchey sboold jre~ ceive a fairer y proportion of Uie p«bllc mout;yß for the devtlopm<*at of their re— sonrees °and tae satiFfact»r|i of th*lf wa»ts. In fact, tbe principle of loeal Self-governm«at ehoQid be extra«fed, whereby giving localities may chopse the most iinportant of»their loeal exeeotive officers, and levy taxes for the p«rpose 1 eal irianroYements of a p«blic nature. PROTECTION TOTHE LABOURINCf , CLASSES 9. We ehall endorse ali measnre tending to inaprove the conditi6jL.of āe workizig classes, and conseqnently, without injnring any vested rights, we wfll advocate laws to prevent all farther importation or employment of contract!abor of any kind, upon conditions whieh will bring it into a ramoos aii% degrading competition mth free Hawai ian or white labor. We ehall also, m the interest of the better protection oi the poor, ask for more liberal exemptions of their property from forced sale on esecution, aud from seizare ia bankruptcy proceedines. SMALL FARM T NG XXD HOME STEADS. 10. The wealtby fraction of our population have hitherix> prevented the developmeht of an independent class of eiikene; the pablic lands have been acq«ired an3 have been tied up in a few hands or pareelled to suit favorites, and smai! farmers and pianters have been driven out by eorporations or combinations of cai>italists; but as small farming is* eonducive to the stability of the State, it should pe encouraged by a new aud more liberal Homestead act, by wheh the ownership o£ emall trscW of lan<l and the settlement thereon of families of our present l>opulation,—-and especiali ly of the naf-ive Hawaiiane who have been left almost hom<. lesē in therecoun-try.-Hhould be rendered poss»ble. To that end, the Qovernment and Crownlands, ( in m for as ean be done witJiont invadrng vestedrights ) should be dQvoted as soon as possible to homesteads. and conferred upon bona-fide settlers free of taxes for a limited period. It should be the further aim of government to, at onee, so far improve the nieans of transportr Uon, —local/national and international,~-as to piwide, in all the districts, eheap means«f conveying the product of the eoil to market. KLECTO|tAL HIHGT, 11. We hold that upright and honest manhood. .«aiui not the poesession of wealtli, arbitrarily fixed, should constithe right to voto for nobles as well as representatives,. and uo more power should bo accorded to the ballot of the rkh nr*n tban to the of the poor mau. The diserimiiuitioii in favor of wealth now made in onr Constitatioii i9 contrary to all the eternal principlo<? of right and justice. and must be abolished. To tbis end, we will favor a tevel* ing oi the £resent distinction of we&Jfch apd whieh hlemieh. amr laws . with respect of the right toivote Coi- robles, regtoring to the uative Hawaiialw privileges whieh perta?n to Iheoa. in th£jr. owa « and at whieh tbey have be»i uni«st>y deprived.
