at the Queen street Armory last
night was well attended. Three
members of the Legislature spoke
in favor Of republic for Hawaii.
Their remarks received the appro-
baton Of the audience who fire.
quently interrupted the speakers
with cries of "repubalika," "hoopau

Hon. j. E. BUSH: The talk cur
rent among the community to day is
the different forms of government.
Hon. r. W. Wilcox gave very good
discourse about republicanism last
week. Hon. @. W. Ashford will dis
cuss about annexation as soon as he
is able. The Constitution was fran
ed by smart and cunning foreigners.
Under the old Constitution, the SOW
ereign enjoyed more rights. For
eigners have come among us and
pretended to be teachers to our aliis.
They were educated people, and they
watched every opportunity to take
advantage of the people. They had
that opportunity, and we know its
evil consequences. These people
were religious teachers. Under Ka-
lakaua there were certain corrup-
tions. There was a great deal of
favoritism during his reign. The
present sovereign is not free from
that political stain. A native of the
South Seas has gained her conf
dence. She does not heed her peo-
pies cries. We would not suffer
under the administration of this
southern leader if he possessed
any ability at all. We did
not reap any benefits under
the Thurston administration. You,
the people, constitute the govern
ment. The government does not be-
| gin from the sovereign, but from the
people. Queen Victoria's ancestors
| sprang from the common people.
They did not come from the deities,
as our traditions tell US about our
line of kings. In ancient times, when
the people of Kau, Hawaii, became
dissatisfied with their king, they went
in body and killed him. It was the
people that elected King Kalakaua.

the bill, the House can pass it

autocratic government, that is, a
