Petition from Kauai.


To HIS MAJESTY KALAxAuA, KINa OF THE HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS t5
Sire We the subscribers, citizens of the Island
Of Kauai. moved by our love for this the land of
our birth, adoption choice, and by our patriotic
desire for its welfare, progress and prosperity az
well 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. 'Q
We desire most earnestly to impress on Your
Majesty the vital Importance of maintaining
high moral standard in the administration Of tho
government. Ht
The means by which this people have been lifted
from heatlfenism to civilization and the forces
which brought them into political existence havc
been moral forces The election of Your Majesty
to the exalted position you now occupy, by the
peoples Representatives. was tho result of a conf
dence on the part of loyal people that Your Maj
estys reign would be marked by that strict and
equal rights to ALL" q ia ma. ke ca 0 Ia aidoi
first proclaimed it,. On sound principles and even
handed justice rests the foundation of our inde-
pendence. When the policy Of our rulers ceases
to be diIsot-d by sincere desire for tho welfare
of the whole people they forfeit the respect and
confidence of other nations, as we'll as their own
subjects; weaken our credit and undermine the
stability of the government. LII as.s .... ra.i.
No government can with safety persistently 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 the 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.
| We would at all times deprecate any unnecessary
| changes in the governments AZ inevitably tending
to produce. feelings. of insecurity detrimental TO
the general prosperity. But when changes mus.
spirit of true patriotism would lead to the selection
of such men might be in all respects best fitted
by education, talents, and loyalty to the country
| gardless of personal friendship, or Of private
aversion; we furthermore beg to state that in our

Holding ourselves ready At all times 70 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 70 relieve
loyal people from the humiliation of the present
position and to assert the dignity which becomes
