In our OPINION, II would be a foolish thing
for any one tothink OF annexation, for if Hawai-
were to become a part Of America, we shoult
have to bear part Of the load of war debt o
that government, and the rich sugar planter!
would be robbed Of their laborers and the
various enterprises in the land would 90 back

brought here by people of different races, fo
the enriching Of our land. But the question
arises, will they consent to become American,
and to separate themselves from their owl
lands2 They won't consent, for it is the rul,
among people of all nations, that each one
fosters his love for his native land.
Again, what native Hawaiian would vote tc
have his loved land annexed to another country
lea been known to annex territory unjustly
without paying for it with cash? And to wha
place has she reached out her hands to take
lands lying at distance from her boundarie.
that are far away from herr
We think that if any people have talked o.
annexation, they have talked of it in despair Of
getting good cabinet ministers. For both the
wise and the foolish know that Gibson's cabinet
is not of one voice, and his past history in Ha,
wall is SO notorious that his grandchildren can
not fail to hear it. To elevate such man as
that, will be the means of bringing the nation
into contempt.
THE TWO MISGUIDED CABINET MINISTER'S
On the goth of May last, Mr.. Gibson was
appointed Premier of the Cabinet that is now
splitting up into factions the mind of the nation,
not alone in private life but also in open day
light, not alone among foreigners but still more
among the Hawaiians themselves whose is the
land and whose welfare ought to be sought
before that of others.
Before taking the office Of Minister of For
eign affairs, he took the oath to preserve the
constitution and laws of the land, and ''to per
form his duties without corruption" But or
the 23d of May, of his own notion, he APP
pointed new Board Of Health, and published
the names Of the members of that Board in the
newspapers without right or authority so to do
thus introducing irregularity, in opposition tc
his oath of Office, because these are the words
of the law: "There shall be appointed by the
King in privy council, a Board of Health fol
the Kingdom, consisting Of five members, moi
less than three Of whom shall be members o
the Privy Council, one Of whom shall be the
President Of the Board They shall serve with
out pay during the Kings pleasure" From
this, the Hawaiian people, to whom the lane
belongs, who had the first right in this fin,
country, can see that he has led them wrongly
either from ignorance or out of pure rascality
But after few weeks after this announcement
some one showed him the ignorance and lack o
authority with which he had acted, and on thai
account he ought to have his mistake rectifed
but he opened his mouth to beg that his wrong
doing and blind misguidancc be condoned ant
his action be confirmed
Last Monday, the Clerk of the Foreigr
Office, in obedience to the command of Mr.
Gibson, notified us that hereafter the /ae din.
was not to publish the official notices OF hi
department. By this last act he has entere,
into league with that one whom the membe
for North Kona called the "back heart" an
it has become quite plain that they both hav
entered that cabal Of secret plotters.
II these corrup, and rascally acts are care
fully scrutinized, il will be seen that our sore
eyed Minister the Premier Gibson, and hi
appendage Bush, cannot survive.
