We have had dream of wealth,
and we are little happier for it. 1t
brought neither peace nor virtue,
and it has weakened the bond that
united races and nationalities. Let
us once more proclaim that right
eousness shall be the life of the land,
and as the day breaks the darkness
and shadow will flee away.
Pray accept my assurance that
nothing is farther from my thoughts
than to speak disrespectfully or re-
proachfully of your opinions. You
frankly presented yourself as a de-
finite advocate of annexation, and
have addressed you not as a person
but as representative of annexa.

HAWAIIAN LEGISLATURES.

Mr.. r. j. Creighton, in his paper
on the Hawaiian situation in the
San Francisco Examiner, regards the
legislative control established by the
Reform revolution of 1887 as a grand
mistake and one that contributed
largely to bringing about the present
crisis. He makes a remark in this
connection to the effect that the late
session of the Legislature was from
the cause given farce. There has
been much loose talk here in the
same line. While there were some
farcical features characterizing the
session, at the same time the proper
tion of highly important and useful
legislation accomplished at the ses-
sion bears favorable comparison with
the body of legislation produced by
any Legislature in the history of the
country. One most commendable
characteristic of Hawaiian Legisla-
lures all along has been the absence
OF mere party obstruction to mea-
sures which had not been subjects
of party controversy in the country
The great cause of confusion in and
protraction of the late session has
been the peculiar composition of the
House, divided as it was into several
factions with still greater number
of members who posed as leaders.
As the BULLETIN said one time in the
session, the remark being conceded
by opponents to be perfectly correct,
sit is one thing to get a majority to
put Ministry out, but quite another
to get majority to maintain its sue
cessors in Office" This difficulty of
parliamentary government, exper-
fenced in a greater degree at the late
session than at any preceding one,
is not by any means unknown in
other countries. The confusion
caused in France, for instance, by
the many factions in its Assembly
has more than paralleled that in
Hawaii from the same cause. In
fact, France is to-day confronted
with the question of whether par
liamentary government is not fast
proving a failure. A threatened
similar situation causes little cloud
to appear at the present day on the
horizon of Great Britain, the parent
of all systems of parliamentary con-
troll existing throughout the world.
Even in the United States, where
the will of the people is more boast
cd to be the governing power than
anywhere else, we have seen within
a very short time deadlocks in State
governments of character on which
any OF our little crises of the
past would not be a patch. Such

Anyone not an idiot can see from
these figures that the annexationists
are in the minority, and that those
who, while favoring almost any kind
of government provided it is good
one and keeping our independence
intact, have been left out in the
cold, though in an overwhelming
majority.
At least are wo not entitled to any
consideration, any voice.. Have we
no rights in this matter, or are we to
be led like lambs to the slaughter
and open not our mouths?
1t is hard, very hard, to have to
submit to be totally ignored by cut
and dried committee of thirteen,
backed up by a few hungry office
seekers, land spectators, hot-head-
ed ward politicians and a lot of over
grown schoolboys, to be forced at
the point of the bayonet to give up
our rights, our independence, with
out murmur, and be bartered away
to the highest bidder.
In conclusion, | will suggest now
that everyone has had time to cool
off, would it not be we'll, before it is
too late, to reconsider and discuss
this vital question more fully and
adopt course preserving the rights
and respecting the wishes of us all,
MAJORITY SHOULD RULE.

1t is we'll that the Provisional
Government sent 50 discreet and
cool-headed an official as Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth to Kohala.
Anybody of such a venomous spirit
as that displayed by writer's in the
Advertiser who should appear, cloth
ed with little brief authority, in
Kohala at the present time would
be likely to create serious complica
tions. Mr.. Chillingworth, according
to our report, made his mission en-.
tirely conciliatory.
The Daily bulletin., 1893-02-11

a condition as two Governors of one
commonwealth, with angry factions
at the backs of both, squabbling over
the chief executive chair, has never
been equalled here. Also, look at
the frequency with which the most
important measures in the Federal
Congress have been mangled or en-
tirely baked by the trickery of
minorities.
Coming back to the Hawaiian
case, the explanation of the farcical
part of the late session lies in a nut
shell. There was a Ministry in Of
flee at the opening of the session,
which had conducted affairs in
conservative way, which was carry
ing out a progressive policy of in
ternal development, and which had
all the financial backing required to
tide the country over threatening
embarrassments. 1t was a Ministry,
moreover, which was not marked
either in personnel or policy by ex-
treme partisan features. Unfort-
unately, there were men among this
Ministry's own original supporters,
and more in the ranks of its nominal
opponents, the so-called Reformers
who were grievously afflicted with
the buzzing of the ministerial bee ir
their bonnets. When these mem
bers combined, each class with ;
party following in it's support, i
was an easy matter to overthrow th'
Ministry. Trouble began when i
came to securing new Ministry
Each of the two wings of the lat'
opposition coalition wanted the ad
vantage in the formation of th'
Cabinet. As neither could ge
enough members out of the combin
ed caucus to support its claims ef
fectually in the Legislature, the whole
situation was thrown into dead
lock out of which only the Queen her
self could bring it. She did so onl,
to have affairs almost immediatel,
upset again by a fresh combination
So matters went on in uncertaint,
until the grand catastrophe at th'
close of the session. The inordinat'
greed of office, on the part of fac
tions as we'll as persons, was thu
source of all the farce that there
was about the session. Parliamen
tary government may be just a
feasible here as in more pretentiou
states. If parliamentary govern
ment, which means popular govern
ment, is impossible here, how in tn
name of common sense is relief to b
found in joining nation the yer.

General Willey's statement of his
views on the Hawaiian question are
significant. That gentleman, it will
be remembered, was here as the re-
preventative of large capital, to look
into the Oahu Railway and Land
Company as an object of investment.
He went away with very favorable
opinions of the proffered security,
but what he may now recommend to
his principals can only be conjec-
tured.

Mr.. Theo. H. Davies's open letter
to Mr.. Bishop makes interesting
reading in view of the time it was
written. 1t ought to be taken where
it is intended as an aid to conscien-
tious self-examination. Even if too
late to do any present good amongst
the circle for whose benefit it was
indited, it may bring forth fruit to
the advantage of peace and tran
quillity under whatever form of gov
ernment we are to receive perma-
nently.

1t is pretty generally understood
that one of the most cogent reasons
against the late Queens promulgat-
ing new Constitution was the fact
that it deprived most of the foreign
ers of the right to vote. Is not this
same thing being proposed to-day?
What does annexation mean to the
thousands of British, Germans,
French, Norwegians, Italians, and
Portuguese citizens here now?
Does it not mean, without a doubt,
that to entitle them Gin event of an
nexation) to the franchise, they will
all have to renounce their own coun-
try and their own flag, and swear al
legiance to the United States and
become American citizens9
1t is claimed on behalf of the an
nexationists, that at the mass meet
ing held in this city, and at which
1900 people were said to be present,
they favored annexation.
Is it so? for one say no. 1 be-
lieve that it was the desire of all
who attended that meeting to OBJ
tain good government, but l will as
sert that not one-third of those pres
ent wanted any such thing as annex
alton, and do not want it to-day.
1t is foolish, very foolish, but we
grant for sake of argument that all
there did favor annexation. l will
ask what proportion does that 1900
bear to our population? We have

because we deal somewhat in
Aermotors and when the rain
fall is greatest our sales in
that particular article fall off.
People do not require artificial
means of obtaining water
when it rains twelve or four

For the next two weeks or
longer the attention OF the
people will be riveted on the
American navy and the
Portuguese band.
But we want to claim the
attention of the gentle house

glassware suited to the purse
of the people who are passing
through period ofhard times
It's not cheap looking stuff but
something that will go side by
side with cut glass. Instead
of the conventional white it is
of white with provisional red
blending delicately into the
white. Some sets have bird,
and flowers etched into the
red showing the white surface
underneath, the prettiest, how
ever, have a fan cut into the
red giving it a rich effect. We
don't wish to deceive you in
the latter style, it is really cut
glass but the price Suggests
something poor in quality.
We have berry bowls and
saucers (they'll do admirably
for ice creamy, lemonade tank
ards and goblets. We will
sell them in sets or single
pieces. These are really the
handsomest pieces of cheap
glassware we have ever offered
for sale.
In 1887 there was as much
excitement in Great Britain
over the anniversary Of
Victoria's accession to the
throne as there is now in the
United States over the pros
pect Of the Columbian Exposi-
ton; everything there was
"jubilee." A man wore a
Jubilee coat and he drank
Jubilee GIN A lady wore
"jubilee hose" or was classed
as a back number. Hawaii is
undergoing a bit of a change
just now accompanied by some
excitement but we get only an
echo Of the thunder; the noise
itself is made in the United
States, for the British Lion has
no time to grunt at anybody
else while he is roaring in
Egypt. But we digress! To
follow the lines laid down by
the English in 81 and the
Yankees in 81 3 we must
adopt a name for certain Of
our goods suitable to the

For the next few weeks we
will ask you to try our "Provi.
sional Rat traps" nothing like
them has ever been shown in
Hawaii. Fancy catching
eleven rats alta single setting
they take everything in sight
The only objection we, as
dealers, have to them is the
fact Of their catching so many
rats that the supply is soon
exhausted.
