To the Hon. w. r. Castle, Presi-
dent of the Legislative Assembly Of
the Kingdom, Sir: l return here
with to the Legislative Assembly of
the Kingdom without my signature
the bill "Abolishing the Office of
Governors" My reasons are as
follows, viz:
The abolition of the Office Of Gov
ernor of each island will no doubt
strain our intercourse with national
vessels of great and friendly Powers,
where no exchange of international
courtesy is provided. Said Govern
ors being commandants of batteries
and Notifications wherever placed
within their respective islands and
at ports opened for the commerce
with foreign countries, it is neees-
sary that such function should be
maintained.
The form of government of the
Kingdom and the peculiar situation
of the islands separated as they are.
make it desirable TO maintain on the
principal islands the Office of q re,
preventative of the Sovereign.
Done at Our Palace at Iolani this
21st day of August, 1888.
