Annexation.-No. 3.
"Thy Spirit Independence let me share,
Lord Of the lion heart and eagle eve ~

independence has been the watch-word of the great
men Of fame's brightest galaxy. 1t was that which
nerved the arm of the demi-god in prehistoric times.
Ii %brightens great deeds in the twilight Of history. 1t
was that which sheds a glory over ~Thermopylae
and CLOVIS with an undying halo on the field of Mar
athon. Its star beamed in the west on the 4th of
July, 1776, never to set. 1t has been the ~rnllying
cry of those who dared to be free in every land. Its
banner has been baptized in the blood of the greatest
and best in all time. Independence is the soul Of
freedom. Hawaii nei possesses both. And shall we,
%forgettul of the glorious boon we possess, be not only
willing to yield 1t up, but beg some other power to
take it from US as q child would a glittering bauble
when wearied of its attraction? Ravenous hunger
was some excuse for the tired Esau when he sold his
bIrth-right for a mess of pottage, but there would be
no excuse for Hawaii to sell her independence for a
sugar plum.
And has it come to this that we cannot guard our
acknowledgements our own liberties? Are they
not safer in our own hands than TO commit them to
others, however enlightened the people and free the
government? Have we not the courage to guard,
the wisdom to sustain and the will to protect? Shall
We lose our individuality ~ a nation and be virtu-
ally blotted from existence? When the flag Of our
independence goes down, drape it in black and hang
1t as the funeral pail Of the nation, at ~half-mast,
while the people sink, lost in the millions Of another
nationality Better stand by it till every bulwark
that protects it is battered down and the last Hawai-
ian amid the ruins, valves it dramatically, but in
dependent to the last.
Hawaii has elements of strength as an dependent
nation. Our central position in the Pacific Ocean,
U Tue pathway OF commerce, our geniai Climate anu
capacity for tropical productions are elements of
strength and prosperity. 1t is not the vast extent of
a country that gives it Importance. The greatest
empires Of ancient and modern times have fallen to
pieces by their own weight. Those which endured
the longest, were small and compact. Athens,
around whose name cluster the brightest rays of the
poetry, the eloquence, the philosophy and history of
the past, was possessed of a territory not so large as
Hawaii nei. Yet for ages she was the centre of an
cient art and civilization, the cradle of our brightest
political ideas. and from her ruins a long column OF
glorious intellectual light reaches down and illu-
inmates in our own times. She was great, too, as a
military power, and the brightest page of the worlds
history is when she single-handed turned the tide Of
Eastern invasion.
m made Athens and commerce will make
Hawaii. Our skies are as blue, our fields as green
and our soil far richer than that Of Attica. We have
superior advantages, and enjoy communication with

tion Of Molokai.
The Gazette reports the PROFESSIONALISM " at
l $40. 1t makes this blunder by placing the
728 merchants of the country in the same cate
CORY with the $50 clergymen, lawyers, physicians
and teachers, which is not I" a matter of fact -
in statement.
The most important consideration for every
true friend of the Hawaiian race and nation is,
what are the prospects for staying the desolating
decay that in forty years has reduced our num-
beers nearly 81 900 souls? The last six years
shows a decrease in the native race, Of ,234,-a
slight decrease in the percentage for the previous
six years, which was OCT leaving the sum
total of unmixed Hawaiians, 49, 044. The half
castles now number 2,4S7, an increase since 1866
of S47, or nearly 80 per cent. The children I'M
der fifteen, number 1880, an increase in the
percentage as to the entire population, which
though small, is extremely significant, and shows
the important fact that has for some time past
been apparent to close observers, that the natives
have learned TO take better care of their offspring
than was formerly the case.
In the rising generation then, must centre the
hopes Of the nation. We cannot Overestimate
the importance of the responsibility that devOlves
upon the state, not only to take every possible
measure to preserve and increase the people, but
to see to the education and training of the youth.
BY education and training we do not mean that
these fifteen or sixteen thousand youths shall be
simply taught in our schools to read, write and
cypher and then after all, the business of their
lives be loaferism, or something infinitely worse.
Idleness is the parent of innumerable vices, and
when it takes possession of n whole generation in
any state, that state is doomed. Without well
organized intelligent industry, which affords profit
able employment to all who should live by labor,
and which makes labor respectable, all the edu-
cation which our schools can impart is unavail-
ing. If the children of this country, as in some
OF the States of America and Europe, are bred
to trades, to crafts, to some honest work, the ma
ton will not fail. But on the other hand, if the
youths of these islands arc bred to Incidence and
vagabondage, We may reasonably appreEend that
they will grow up into human frauds, thieves,
robbers, and lazzaroni. This of the boys-what
will the girls be? We recommend these consid-
~crations to the Government and to the next Leg
~islature.
If this nation perishes from off the face of the
earth, let it not lay to the charge of the present
generation that the saving and remedial measures
of Government Industrial schools and a thorough
national sanitary system were left untried by
those at the head of affairs, and only vaguely
and inadequately discussed through the press.
