KING, HOLD FAST YOUR POSITION.

Hawaii POnoi is at your back, o King.
To my patient Makaainana: In these
| passing days of the summer a rumOr has
| been rife on the streets of the city, and
| that rumOr is that the Cabinet have
| ordered that the munitions of war be
| placed under the supervision of the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs in conformity
with the law that was passed by two.
thirds of the Legislature, killing dead
| the veto of His Majesty the King. And
the answer that was received by the
Cabinet was refusal.
Alas perhaps that is opposition to the
two-thirds vote law of the Legislature,
like unto the Rife Constitution, Section
xxx.
If these rumors are true, and probably
some parts of them are true, as they float
round in the circle of the zeal Hawaiians
of this capital city, then this is the voice
of the true Hawaiian Makaainana that
cries aloud to you, o King, "Hold fast
Hold fast your position, here we all are
at your back, not with the black hearted
who have OverthrOwn us with their
shameless cruel Rifles"
o, real Hawaii,
Look to your King,
Royal Ali the King.
It is a source of unspeakable pride to
this heart that the King has begun to
take into his own hand the work of his
government, in opposing the cunning
wrestling OF the government by these
abandoned, worthless haoles (whites),
people who have hearts like man-eating
tigers of Africa, and that he shows to the
whole world that his wisdom greatly
excels that of those who are with brazen
face managing the affairs of the Govern
ment.
[ fully understood that the revolution
that was inaugurated on the Both of
June, 1887, was really for the purpose of
wrestling the Government from the King,
and to place it entirely in the hands of
these very bad miscellaneous haoles, and
not to allow the Hawaiian to hold any
Office in his own Government. But the |
latter part of their plan has failed, the |
first part has been carried out.
And after that we have seen, O Ha- |
waiian people, and we still see, what is |
being done to fulfill the last part of their |
plan, which they were unable to pre- !
viOusly carry out. That is the meaning !
of the laws to abolish the Governors, and |
others that are being enacted, in order |
that they may get all the power into |
their hands, and to deprive the King of |
all power in conducting the affairs of his |
Kingdom. This purpose is very clear
and cannot be ignored.
Therefore, We see that those mis-
chievOus haoles attempted to pass the
military law, and they did indeed pass
it, the King did not sign it but veto it
for good and true reasons. They then
to kill the Kings veto by
two-thirds vote of the House, and they
indeed succeeded by means of the help |
of certain HaWaiianS who were destitute |
of love, and who probably thought their
skins would become white like the light
eyed haoles. 1t can very properly be
said OF these Hawaiians that they do not
belong to Hawaii nei, but they are
remnant of the idiots and those who are
full OF fOolishness among their fellow
men, who belong to Kalaepohaku (the
Insane Asylum), and among them are
three clergymen. They have made the
words of Jehovah of no account, as we
learn their eyes have been sealed up
and fastened by the one who holds the |
great bag of dollars.
Therefore, when their plan was accom-
plished then they Immediately ordered
that the munitions of war of the bar
racks be placed under the supervision of
those mlschlevOus persons This is it as |
you may see, o real Hawaii, from the !
rising to the setting sun.
Therefore, hold fast, and when those
people come again to intimidate YOU. o
King, give the signal; here we are stand
ing ready te obey your royal command.
HAWAII PoNOI.
