Political Echoes.

Lorrin A. Thurston Esq. comes before the public in the columns of the Advertiser of the 11 ^th ., “speaking for no one but himself,”  but evidently posing as a political oracle.  The gist of his article is an attempt to get off a sneering characterization of the men who are leading the National Party, and in his effort to do so he indulges in open falsehoods, and falls wide of the mark in his summing up of the situation, and shows how little he knows about it.

 

Mr. Thurston appears to think that his mere say so is sufficient to condemn the men who politically is oppose to him.  Having once been the idol and oracle of the “Missionary Reform Party” he likes none but those who were his worshippers, but there are philistines in this community who measure men in a different standard, and from their worldly standpoint it appears to them that the men whom Thurston would condemn are far and away ahead in character integrity and intelligence, of the men who were the knaves, smugglers, boodlers and wire @lers of Thurston’s reform (?) administration.

We do not impuen Thurston’s personal integrity, but he was unfortunately surrounded by men of mediocre @ and incompetent political character who assisted him to carry the reform     administration to disruption and failure.  His henchmen were not honorable men, and his administration complacently permitted the most scandalously a@ing  juggary with opium in the Marshal’s Office and Custom Home that this country was ever @. He lent his protection also to other officials who were boodling in office.

In the @ @ of his office Thurston @ and active, but in affairs of importance he was not always well advised. There was one individual in particular who with his little green eyes lured him into many errors and was his evil mascotte. The man with Thurston’s po@ was the tyrannical Ralmaceda Ponseca of Hawaiian politics, and did more to bring the reform administration into disrepute than other influences combined, held imperial sway in every department and bureau of the government and carried the Interior Department about as a sort of pocket piece.  He startled the town with phantom revolutions and his official care @ was a reign of terror to all who were unfortunately under his control.  It is for fear that this man and his clique will return to dogmatic power through Thurston that caused and still causes a great deal of the opposition to the latter.  Another one of Thurston’s pets is a man whose popularity is doubtful.  We therefore consider it bad form for Thurston to attack his political opponents with mere innuendos, while such shady reminiscences surround his allies.

Mr. Thurston deliberately falsifies the fact when he asserts that the National Liberal Party is in “blind opposition” to a new treaty with the United States.  We speak advisedly in saying that the National Party distinctly favors a renewal of the treaty with the United States permitting a more reciprocal interchange of natural products, and they will undoubtedly unite in approval of such a treaty if properly constructed.  The Platform of Principles of the Hawaiian National Liberal Party speaks for itself in Section 2.

But in view of the present reciprocity policy of the United States the National Party does not consider a cession of a naval station (as at all a necessary part of a commercial compact unless there is other substantial and honorable equivalent conceded by the United States. The commercial activity of the nations that border the Pacific, will soon render the possession of a naval station in these islands of great commercial value and strategic importance and we should therefore not throw it away lightly. European nations would probably pay us millions of money for it.  But if a naval station is to be ceded, we should prefer that our principal commercial ally, the United States, should have it and we are willing that they should acquire it under a treaty that would be honorable and advantageous to both nations.  We should never approve of the Thurston “troop” scheme designed to perpetuate the cabinet in office and to deprive the people of the sacred right of the political agua@ or revolt against a tyrannical or unpopular government.

 

Mr. Thurston is further maliciously  @ when by denouncing the National Party as one of political at best and financial suicide Thurston  @ must be @  by its platform  and its utterances and in @ there be found @

As for  “political suicide”, it is Thurston  @ who @

cial stringency. There is abundant money in this community, but it is locked up in the coffers of the capitalists, with a seeming dishonest and unfinancial purpose of the political pressure.  If this be so, it is a disgraceful and suicidal act on the part of our capitalists from which no good can come, but the evils of  which cannot be laid at the door of the National Party.

The commercial outlook for this country is not discouraging except as it is artificially made so by the tying up of capital.  If the monied men would unloose the sack; if the sugar planters would set themselves to work to meet the changed condition of the sugar market, and adopt the methods which we believe still exist for getting sugar to market with profit, and if their politicions would stop whining “calamity” simply because they cannot obtain control of the administration, we believe that the country would go on and prosper.  The resources of this little nation are too substantial to collapse entirely.  The financial policy of the National Party is foreshadowed in the article “Financial” now appearing in this paper and we claim it to be far from “suicidal”.

 

FREE LANCE

The whinny of the Elele.

We know the naughty little Stone thrower of the Elele could not tell whether its heels or head was uppermost.  After having filled reams of paper with the stories of its sacrifices for its love of the natives,  and wasting bottles of ink to dupe the native voter into believing that it hated the Old Reform Party it was compelled to show its true colors at last Saturday and to whine that “ the National Reform Party have had to make concessions to the Old Reform.”  What the concessions were we can plainly infer from the tone of s stony communication in the same issue signed “Mechanic.”

In plain language the concession made is to get a New Commercial Treaty whereby the rich planter may get the two cent bounty for a pound of sugar from the United States of America which means annexation to that power under such conditions that the planter can sweat his contract slaves without clashing with the free institutions of the Great Republic.

To @ @ a lame statement to the contrary is backed on to the tail of the second plank of the Elele Party  platform, but a fact @ that has stationed itself before the elections once will continue to stulify itself as long as it hopes to gain a @ @ vote by so doing.

That when our Premier had the land cleared for the extinction of the O.R.R. why did he give the work to Chinamen.

That the Italian Consul is an active participant in the political movement which the Honolulu merchants are directing against the native Hawaiian party.  So is it not about time that Foreign nations were informed of the political action of their consul here.

That one of the Mechanics Union boodlers had a soft snap of $10 a day just for overlooking the Waikiki bridge job; and one of the reform candidates for road board had a deal on cement: Charley Mahope will have to answer for all this @ the Finance Commitee of the next legislature.

That the people of Maui will be represented in the Legislature by a long legged, green eyed mascotte, i.e. Thurston will be elected but his evil genius will preside over and direct him.

That the Thurston-Castle Advertiser clique feel very tired when they resort to calumny that they must know to be untrue towards the candidates of  the National Liberty party.

That as usual the P.C. Advertiser resorts to calling names and venting spleen on those who are in open opposition to them.

That the P.C. Advertiser never explained to the public how supplies to the Oahu prison were made.

That “Common Sense” is right in saying in his communication to the Advertiser of the 12 i@, that the U.S. has never repudiated a solemn contract. Of course treaties made with Indians and other weak nations are not solemn.
