Petition from Kauai.

To Hrs MAZE rr KALAKkUA, KING OF THE HAwAnAN
ISLANDS
Sire: We the subscribers, citizens of the Island
of Kauai, moved by our love for this the land of
our birth, adoption or choice and by our patriotic
desire for its welfare, progress and prosperity as
well as for the perpetuity of its Independence, feel
impelled to express to Your Majesty the anxiety
and alarm with which we have noticed the recent
tendency of Your Majesty's policy.
We desire most earnestly to impress on Your
Majesty the vital importance of maintaining
high moral standard in the administration of the
government.
The means by which this people have been lifted
from heathenism to civilization and the forces
which brought them into political existence have
been moral forces. The election of Your Majesty
to the exalted position you now occupy, by the
peoples representatives, was the result of conf
dence on the part of loyal people that Your Maj
esty's reign would be marked by that strict and
impartial administration which would guarantee
"equal rights to ALL" " Ud nidW ke ca ku alma {
ka pono'' is as true to-day as when Kauikeaouli
first proclaimed it. On sound principles and even
handed justice rests the foundation of our indie
pendence. When the policy of our rulers ceases
to be directed by sincere desire for the welfare
of the whole people they forfeit the respect and
confidence of other nations, as well as their own
subjects; weaken our credit and undermine the
stability of the government.
No government with safety persstently dis
regard the best interests of an intelligent people,
Your petitioners respectfully represent that they
contribute largely to the support of Your Majesty
and the government in the payment of taxes, and
that any action on the part of Your Majesty or
Your Ministers which affects our credit abroad
tends to reduce the taxable value of our property
1t was therefore with emotions of profound regret
that we recently heard of the dissolution of the
late Cabinet which during tie past two years has
served Your Majesty and the people with such zeal
and fidelity, and which possessed to an unprece-
dented degree the confidence and esteem of the
country. -fr-.
| We would at all times deprecate any unnecessary
changes in the government as inevitably tending
TO produce feelings of insecurity detrimental to
the general prosperity. But when changes must
be made we beg to suggest to Your Majesty that a
spirit of true patriotism would lead to the selection
| of such might be in all respects best fitted
/ by education, talents and loyalty to the country
to fill the high offices to which they called,
! gardess of personal friendship, or of private
aversion, we furthermore beg to state that in our
opinion the recently appointed cabinet is unworthy
of Your Majestys royal prerogatiye; that it tends
TO destroy our credit abroad and Is therefore
menace to our constitutional rights and that fail
| ing to command the respect or approval of the
most loyal and intelligent portion of Your Maiestys
| subjects it is disgrace to HAWAII mel.
| Holding ourselves ready at all times to support
| Your Majesty in any measures for the benefit of
the country, we earnestly petition Your Majesty
in consideration of the traditions of the past and
the grand possibilities of the future to relieve
/ loval people from the humiliation of the present
position and to assert the dignity which becomes
the Monarch of these fair Isles, and your peti-
| tioners will ever pray:
