AFTER ALL THAT Is SAID"

EDITOR BULLErlN:-
"We do not have any fear as to
the result Of any agitation that inter-
ested parties may make in favor of
annexation or of republicanism.
Either of these two conditions is ear
nestly desired by large number of
people of this community for several
causes. The primary and general
cause of disaffection TO the present
form Of government is principally due
to the unsatisfactory administration
of the affairs of the country, !. e.,
the attempt of the Executive to run
personal government without any
regard to the will of the people.
Whoever wrote the above, which
appeared in ka Leo some days past,
speaks falsely when he says he has
no fear as to the result of any agita-
tion that interested parties may make
in favor of annexation or of rcpubli-
up the public mind by constantly
placing before The public the subject
of annexation or a republic. 1t is
his wish, although lie has always lived
under a monarchical government, to
see the community turn out zen
masse" and request annexation 10
the United States of America or
republic, because under the present
form of Government he or they have
a very slight chance Of a government
billet-and he or they will not be
content with less than ministerial
positions and so whether this King
dom is annexed or becomes a repub-
lie becomes q matter of Indifference
to him.
Disappointment still rankles in the
inmost recess of their hearts and SO
they try to raise opposition, create
disturbance, and preach ncendiary
principles into the people and try to
make them believe it is for their good.
If the people would only stop and
consider before they permit them
selves to he influenced by such un-
principled motives and selfish reason
ings they would be much happier to-
day: but now they are afraid of an
imaginary something about annexa-
ton (Which they know nothing at all
about), or of the approaching ruin
of this Kingdom which has been con-
stantly preached into them in the
sheets of Ka Leo.
At present it is utterly impossible
for this country to be annexed to the
United States. These parties think
that all they have to do is to say
"take us" and then the United States
would only have to say "come to our
arms" and that would be all-but it
is great mistake. There are many
old resident whose interests are in
this country who do not wish it and
will strive against it's accomplish
menL. The sons and families and
grand children of our first mission
aries who first brought the light to
this country do not wish it. And
they have just as much right to say
as the native born-that we shall
maintain an independent government
and if necessary will fight for it.
Ka Leo is the mouthpiece of the few
soreheads who are trying to instil
socalistic ideas into the minds of the
people and to SOW discomfort, and l
warn all right minded people not to
be influenced by such foolish and
wicked ideas, for the results will be
terrible.
Your peaceful homes will be burnt,
your lives in danger, your families
and those you love best will be
ruined. All these will be results of
socialism as we have seen all over
Europe. And yet Ka Leo encourages
the spread of these ideas to make an
end of our beautiful Island Kingdom
our peaceful home protected by
our laws.
We have an Executive who is bound
by the law of the land TO watch over
her subjects. We have ministers
who are bound by the law and have
to guide their actions according to
the directions of the laws of the
country, and are responsible to the
Legislature for their actions. Where
is the pilikia? The pilikia only
exists in the fertile brains of the
writer's of Ka Leo who are bent on
doing mischief. Such people ought
to be taken care of and sent to an
institution like VIM. Auld's establish
ment at Kapalama-the sooner the
better. 1t may be necessary to re-
move them from our midst as the
Citizens Committee did during the
early days of California.
