Poor, pretty ‘little Princess Kaiulani
of Hawaii, heir expectant to Lilinokala-
ni's throne, does not take it at all Kindly
that she is to be stripped of hem glory
and her expectations “and be just a rich
young woman in private life. as the
United States government and the Ha-
waiian commissions propose she shall
he. She asks, somewhat pathetically,
‘Have I done anything wrong that this
wrong should be done to me?”
- Yes; Kaiulani. you have done wrong,
and we can. tell you what it is. Even
you, innocent and sweet as you are. have
been guilty of a crime. Your crime is
that you believe in the divine right of
kings and queens. You believe that by
mere virtue of condescending to be born
yon have the right to rule over a nation,
and that its people must maintain von in
royal state and utter idleness, giving you
every luxury. while they toil daily for
bread for vou and themselves. You
would not give them any equivalent for
all you cost them.
No king or queen or royal family ever
does give such equivalent. They do not
govern, for it is only the representatives
of the people wh have sense enough io
govern. Every king, queen. prince or
princess who is thrown out of a job
marks one step more in the progress of
civilization. That old idea of the hered-
itary right of kings to rule must be ex-
ploded quickly, and the sooner it is done
the better tor the race. It is an idea
that has no right to lurk anywhere in
this age of the world. The really royal
soul builds its own throne by its own
deeds, and none other has any right to a

are able to determine. During the late
election THE Star did not work for nor
oppose any candidate of any party. It
stated in its initial number that it would
be a Republican paper so far as state and
national politics are concerned, but added
that when jt came to local or county
politics, it reserved the right to work for
or oppose any eandidaie it saw it to work
for or oppese, regardless of ‘the politics
of such candidate. And right here we
will state that “‘we will fight it out on
this line if it takes all summer.” When
it comes to borough, township or county
offices, our motto is, work and vote for
those whom you think will make the
best officers. regardless of their politics.
So far as local politics are concerned.
their is no party principle at stake, and
politics should not be considered at
borough, township or county elections.
The closer the American people live up
to this doctrine, the more it will be con:
ducive te good citizenship. No fair-
minded or intelligent man can success-
fully dispute this.
Prior to a borough or township election.
each candidate usnally runs on a plat-
form of his own construction, and while
electioneering usually tells his fellow
citizens about what his views are on
maiters of local interest. [If his ideas
and theories are popular in the. commun-
ity. of course he will be elected. If un-
popular, he will be defeated. Of course,
it is well to stick to your party ticket,
even in loeal elections providing von
think it is as good as any other ticket in
the field. But if you conscientiously he
lieve that your own party ticket. or any
part of it, as the case may be, is not as
good ms some other tickef. then it he-
comes your daty as an. honest ‘man and
a good citizen to vote for whom vou con-
sider the best men for the offices. Where
is the man who ‘ean raice his hand to
high heaven and say that he disapproves
of this doctrine from pure and honest
motives? ;
When it comes to voting for offices
that are strictly political, we can not sce
how anv honest man ean split his ticket:
for we consider the principles we believe
times represent them. And on. those
grounds, gentle reader, we can not go
back on the Republican party whenever
there are any party principles at stake.
So far as our late borough Election is
‘concerned, we can only say dy some
very good men on bath tickets were
elected, and some on hoth tickets’ equal
