the Old Armory last night.
Hon. J. L. BUSH Hon. G. ". Ash
ford will not speak to night on an
nexation. He is waiting until the
decision of our Noble contest case is
given, which will probably be next
week, after which he will discuss
annexation, republicanism, and mon
archical government. There is from
BILE ahead. Mr.. Wilcox is feared.
For myself, / have no connection
with these so called revolutions. But
if our Queen continues to follow the
idle advice of few moneyed men,
trouble might follow. prefer quiet
l do not wish TO revolutionize the
government. We have done our best
in the last election campaign, but
still we are in minority. Some de-
sire to gain power by force. I do
not want to do that. But If you
people want to follow the others you
may do So But [ am certain we
would lose our independence in that
way, and would come out worse off
than ever. We lack the capacity of
the Kamehamehas We are under
strange Government to-day. Our
Queen is influenced by native of
the South Sea Islands, and that,
gentlemen, has baffied the policy of
the Cabinet. We have plenty of in
fuential Hawaiians, but still south
ern foreigner gains the upper hand
of our Sovereign The Roard Board
law is very satisfactory to US. We
have elected good Hawaiians, and
they are benefiting our Hawaiians
by giving them work. Has our Queen
done a single thing beneficial to you
Hawaiians Audience No. 1t Is
said that our Queen has refused to
sign the Treaty. She did that be
cause she knows she would not be
benefited by it. She did that not
because of her love for her people,
but because of love for self. The
Queen has not appointed good Ha
waiians on the Board of Health. She
appointed John Ena, but he does not
sympathize with Hawaiians. When
Mr.. Ena resigned, another good Ha
waiian John F. Colburn) was APP
pointed. But Mr. Colburn does not
know the needs of Hawaiians. He is
foreigner in sentiment. Why can
not leprosy be doctored in Honolulu?
The Bishop of Honolulu requested
the Board of Health to apply his
remedy to a few cases, but he was
told by the Board to go and reside at
Kalawao. What is the Minister of
Foreign Affairs doing? [ think he is
the greatest idler under the sun. /
believe the Queen will have him
again to form new Cabinet, if the
present one resigns. Should this
continue, sand bags will not soothe
the heart aches of the people. If the
Queen were to invite me to come to
her, would decline, because | know
she is not candid, for have heard
hard sayings against me from her
lips. [ have heard that sometimes
she wanted to consult with me, but
the ''Bolapola" wont have it. Is that
Tahitian on the Throne? The Queen
said these words: Qua ola no au
kun Polopola" (My Bolapola is Civ
ing me sound advice). We are JUST
fed in expressing publicly our
grievances against our Queen. That
is better than conspiring against her.
We cannot gain anything by desiring
human flesh. If people come to
tempt you to join in revolution, re-
gard them as your bitterest enemy.
Can we retain our government if we
continue diminishing in number?
We expect grave news by tomorrow's
steamer. The Maoris are increasing
in numbers. The English laws are
stringent; the natives are not allow
ed to sell their lands to foreigners.
England is highly praised for this
policy. The people of India respect
Queen Victoria. They have not
seen her. Who is protecting Ha-
waii Foreigners. If SO, our indie
pendence is already gone. What is
the use of our laboring under such
heavy burdens. We must strain
every nerve to regain our lost advan-
tages. Under the feudal system,
Hawaiians enjoyed life better than
they do at the present day. We are
suffering people. Maybe the Amer
lean Indians have greater advan-
tages to-day than the down-trodden
Hawaiians. Wilcox says that we
can't have new constitution without
bloodshed. / think otherwise. 1
believe if the people in Hawaii hold
conventions from Hawaii to Niihau
and ask the next Legislature for a
new constitution, the Legislature
would grant our petition. Foreign
powers are concentrating their at
tention upon you today. You must
do something to show them that you
still prize your rights.
HON. j. W. BIPIKANE: have been
to all our meetings since election, but
this is the first time l have been
asked to speak to you. You have
heard what our president has said.
I do not agree with all of it, 1 am
always independent. He has advised
US to remain silent, even if we are
down-trodden. I don't believe in that
that is hoopilimeaai. We have al
ways been obedient We are suffer
ing under the present Constitution.
We must lot continue so. If we do,
our children will suffer also; we must
be armed. I'd rather die fighting
