THE MAUI ANNEXATION
CLUB.

The Advertiser during inter
walls when not busy abusing the
Star, is shedding tears of Joy
over the powerful 81 organization
known as the Maui Annexation
Club. The Advertiser which for
years has searched the slang
dictionaries of the United States
for the purpose of finding
epithets suitable to express the
contempt and hatred which the
reform party biennially feel for
John ". kalua, is now loud in its
praises of that slippery gentle
man. The Advertiser which by
the way never has been very
strong in its endorsement of
Emmeluth's funny resolution
about forcing men to become
counters, now gloats with
satisfaction, because the Annex
alton Club on Maui has
endorsed the said funny reso-
luton of the said funny senator
We also are pleased with the
report of the meeting held in
Wailuku, and at which Deputy
Collector McStocker-who osten-
sibly is inspecting Custom
Houses Tin WailukuD tried to
revive the annexation corpse by
a description of the glorious con-
dition of the "club" IN Honolulu
and we hope by explaining
where the deuce he ever found
the 1449 American voters who he
claims are enrolled On the books
of the organization. The reason
why we are pleased is, be-
cause the meeting gave an OPP
portunity to a prominent govern

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.

This is from the Chronicle Of Nov. 4ih.l
Washington, Nov. 3rd.--The
President did not send the
Hawaiian correspondence to
Congress before adjournment and
nothing will be given to the
public regarding the policy of
the administration or the instruc-
tions to Minister Willis until
Congress reconvenes, when the
whole matter will be laid before
the Senate and House, supple
mented by a large amount of
information which Mr., Willis
will in the mean time gather and
forward to the State Department.
Evidence is cropping out daily
to show that Minister Blount 5
mission as special commissioner
was not altogether successful or
satisfactory to the administration,
and that much later data will be
required before the President can
send any recommendations to
Congress for action on this i'm
portant question.
II as possible that intimation
ociU be .giveaa the provisional gov-
ernment by Minister Willis that
the President lciU not ottthorise
negotidtions Of FRIENDSHIP and
COMMERCE lcitk THE GOVERNMENT DE
FAcTo until that government shall
haze been ratified by a popular
election.
The question of annexation is
practically out of the way, and
even the members of the pro-
visional government appear to
realize the fact and are striving
for the strongest kind of protec-
torate.
Minister Willis is instructed
to follow the general principle of
non-interference, unless it may
be necessary to take action to
prevent foreign Intervention. In
this matter, as in all others, he
has been granted the fullest
discretion.

To say that the naval forces
were landed on the 10th of JAN
nary last to protect life and
property against the "dissolving'
forces of the government, and
"to protect this city in coming
night of fear" is false, and they
know it. 1t is well-known that
peace and quietness reigned
throughout this city on that day,
although, two mass meetings
were held in the afternoon. The
direct lie is given to the above
assertion when their press de-
liberately stated the falsehood,
that the British minister offered
to land marines from the British
war vessel in port to assist in the
protection of property, when
they knew perfectly well that
there was not a war vessel of
that or any other nationality.
except of the United States in
port at that time. Had there
been British war vessel in port
at that time, there would not
have been an overthrow. They
also know well, that the then gov
eminent tuas in a position to put
down and quell any riot or dis

Whatever may be President
Cleveland's course of procedure,
whether he submits the question
to Congress or not, whether
the American Constitution gives
him the power to remove or dis
place revolutionary government
or not, even after he has recog-
nized it merely as a matter OF
form or for purely business pur-
poses, is of no concern to the
present government. This gov
eminent holds similar position
in the eyes of the United States
Government, as does the right
full Sovereign of Hawaii. Both
parties are in the hands of the
Government of the United States,
and will have to abide by its
dictum whenever it is announced
to our people by Its Representa-
tive in Hawaii.

So now, when it becomes
apparent to them that they may
possibly be treated in like man
ner, a great wall is set mp, and
anv movement of that nature Is at
once denounced by them as
revolutionary and declaration
of war against the government
they are supporting. If the
action of Minister Stevens in de-
throning the Queen last January,
was not an act of war or yankee
coercion" ride STAR. against
Her Government then the same
act may be properly repeated
now, and the present revolution
ary government set aside to make
wav for a ''lawful and legal
government without such action
being termed one of yankee
coercion.

1t has also been stated, that
should the Australian dispatch
be true, that "all the Pre-
sident expects thereby to
do is to ask Congress to author
ize him to restore the dethroned
Hawaiian Sovereign by force
of arms. If it becomes neces-
sary to do so, why should it
not be done? Was not the
Hawaiian Sovereign dethroned
by ''force of arms" although
mot gun was fired nor any
need less display nader The
display and force were there all
the same, and did the business.
The same display and force can
be used to restore the Queen,
without the occasion causing
the firing of a gun. In this
connection. it may be advisable
to impress upon the present
Auth critics, that, their S is only
a Provisional Government, and
their supporters are revolu-
tionists, and any overt act COM
mitted by them will only compel
the United States to treat them
as filibusters and rebels.

And comparisons are made be-
tween Hawaii and Brazil. 1t Is
well-known. that since the era
of civilization, and the formation
of independent nations and gov
ernments, there is not IN
history parallel case to the Ha-
waiian overthrow of last January.
There is no precedent The
dethronement of Queen Liliuoka-
laai was not by revolution OF
the people against Her or Her
government; Her government
was overthrown by the agency OF
a few dissatisfied politicians in
collision with the United
States Minister. Whether the
United States permits or does
not permit "the monarchy to be
forced upon Brazil, has no bear
ing whatever upon the result of
the settlement of the political
situation in Hawaii. One
thing is certain, and that is.
that the monarchical form of
government IN Brazil was not
overthrown by any action of the
United States, through its Repre-
sentative. And on the other
hand, it is the wish and the
prayer of the majority of the
lawful and legal inhabitants
of the Hawaiian Kingdom, that
the monarchy should be restor-
ed to them. Such action of
Restoration by the President of
the United States, would I'M
doubtedly be endorsed by a
majority of the people of Amer
lea, nor is it to be believed
that such action would be
denounced by til EN-
as ian act more damnable than
any occurrence since the middle
ages why not allude to the
act of January last in the same
tone-nor would 1.-The whole
world cry out-shameF' ON the
contrary, they would shout
Bravo Cleveland, Bravo!

If an order from President
Cleveland to set aside the pres
ent revolutionary government
with military or naval aid, is
be to considered as revolutionary
and an open act of war; then
the action of President Harrison
through his representative Min
lister Stevens was revolutionary,
and was an act of war against
a weaker nation, towards which
it had been on the most friendly
terms for fifty years, and one
which it had recognized and
acknowledged as an Independent
Nation.

coercion.

The statement is made, that
the present government has been
lawfully and legally acknowl-
edged by every other govern
ment having relations with it.
Will their press please inform
this community what other
governments besides that Of the
United States-no heed
being paid to that letter
from Russia-have lawfully
and legally acknowledged this
government. If that assertion be
true, will the same press also
state WHY MIR. DOLE DID NOT VISIT
the Japanese war ship Naniwa,
and the British war vessel Gar
net, during their stay here; and
also why instructions were issued
to Hawaiian officials to return the
official visits of the Commanders
of those vessels at the respective
Legations, and not on board?
Is it not true, that Mr..
Dole did not visit those
ships for the reason, that he
would be accorded honors due to
a Cabinet Minister, and not the
honors due to the Head of a
Nationl Is that being lawfully
and legally acknowledged?

arisen or been caused by
the revolutionists now in power,
and further, they well know, that
were il not for the assistance OF

rendered to them by landing

life and property they would
not be in authority to-day.

THE PASSING SHOW.
EDITOR HoLoMrA:

EDITOR HOLO&CA:
The cliques represented by the
Advertiser and the Star do not
wish to believe that there is any
truth in telegram referring to
the restoration of the Hawaiian
Monarchy which was published
in a New Zealand paper. 1t is
very natural that they should not,
it would not be to their interests
to do so; but, because they do
not wish to, is no reason why
their press should abuse and
Willy those who do.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-11-20

Is it not also fact, that all
but one of the Diplomatic and
Consular Representatives of
Foreign Countries in this King
dom. recognized the present gov
erpment only as one de facto,
pending instructions from their
several governments Have
those Representatives received
instructions to lawfully and
legally" recognize this govern
mentl 1t is believed. that they
have not. Has that sole and
only Representative, who recog-
nized this government as, The
Government" and was willing to
assist it to the best of his ability
without waiting for instructions
from his government, been
supported in his actions by
the government he representa-
1t is generally understood that
he has not, that his actions had
the contrary effect on the Home
Government, and that the recoil
was similar to that from a boom
erang.

by the '.factious and disorgsnizlng

The annexation organs have
frequently stated, that it is not
the policy of, nor does the
United States restore monarchies.

fact that the L. G. Is directly
opposed TO policy which ever
could grant q voice in political
matters TO the Hawaiians. OF
course, we have been aware that
such was the policy of the P. G.
but large number of people
have vet retained sufficient faith
in the honesty of MeSsrs. Dole,
Damon and Hatch to believe,
that they really meant their hypo-
critical assertions, that they are
working in the interest of the
Hawaiians, and always with
lively sense of the political rights
and privileges due to that race.
We publish below an official
letter signed by Sheriff Samuel
f. Chillingworth the highest
executive officer on Maui, which
we trust will dispel all empty
hopes, yet entertained by
some Hawaiians in the
possibility of obtaining what
is right and just for a native of
these Islands. so long as the
present INSCRIPTIONS gang of
selfish pelf-and Office seeking
alleged friends of the Hawai-
ian are In power. One of the
speakers at the annexation meet
ing in Wailuku was Mr.. II. ii.
Plemer This gentleman who
for many years until recently
has held the responsible position
as head-luna of Wailuku Plan
tation has been one of the staunch-
est friends of the reform party
and has renderd more services
since 1888 to that party than
any other man on that Island.
He has done so at considerable
inconvenience and considerable
expense to himself. When the
annexation scheme of the specu-
lating flibusters eliminated in
the revolution of the 18th, Mr..
Plemer who is a true American
without any brogue, naturally
followed his old political party,
and he became one of the organ
izers and leaders of the annexe-
ton club on Maui. Owing to a
change in the management of the
Wailuku Plantation, Mr.. Plemer
resigned his position together
with the manager, Mr. r. d.
Walbridge and accepted temper
arily position as police officer
at Spreckelsville. Mr. Plemer
made a short speech at the
annexation meeting in Waikiki,
which we print below:
Let it be we'll remembered that
the club-organ,- the Star-at
least while DR.. McGrew was the
editor emphatically repudiated
all insinuations or assertions that
the Hawaiians should ever be
DISTINGUISHED. Let it be re-
membered that such a posi-
bility was looked upon with
scorn and stamped as
royaEst lie invented by the HO-
LoMUA for the purpose OF SANDER
ing the immaculate, the virtuous,
the supernaturally honest provis-
ional government. Let 1T be
remembered that the Star both
under the management OF the
Doctor as well as under the pre-
sent management in those days
clamored that they would wash
their hands of the whole annexa-
ton movement If any body dared

THE LECTURE COURSE.

The Y. M. c. A. lecture committee
have held several meetings lately and
has done some effective work in the
way Of securing fine course fornext
season. The character of the eight
entertainments already booked as
sures series of literary and musical
events which cannot fail to afford
patrons of the course much pleasure.
For several years now the opening
concert has been of such nature as
to give decided character to the
course as whole, and this year the
committee have secured as the open
ing eveut the Fursch-Madi Concert
Company of Boston, which includes
Nine. Fursch-Madil .prima donna
soprano; Nine. Luckstone-Meyers,
contralto; Senor Victor Clodio,
tenor; Senor Diaz Albertini, violin
virtuoso; and Isidore Luckstone,
pianist. Every artist on the list is
strongly endorsed by good judges,
and another musical treat may be
expected on the first night"
The other attractions thus far
booked include a lecture by the elo-
quent Congressman Breckenridge;
readings by Prof. Cumnock of the
Northwestern University, who comes
endorsed as ranking with Churchill
in his evolutionary ability; lecture
BY Rev. P. S. Henson of Chicago,
who has appeared in several sections
of this state and always with ac-
ceptance: the Torbett Concert Com
pany and Luttman Swedish Sextette,
a combination which promises our
people an evening of thorough en-
joyment; a lecture by Mrs. Mount
ford. who in her discussions OF life
and customs in the far East has en-
tertained many an audience in differ
ent parts of the country; concert
by the New York Philharmonics, who,
with Miss Wead as soloist, were so
warmly appreciated here last season
a concert by the Berkeley Beacon
combination of Boston, including a
fine male quartette and ladies quar-
tette of choice musical makeup.
n The committee have striven to
meet the demand of St. Johnsbury
people for high class and substantial
{ entertainments and have incurred g
large expense, trusting to gener
Gus response on the part of the com
munity-such response as has beer
given in previous seasons. The 9th
er four features of the course will bt
settled in the near future and dates
definitely announced.

A CLOSE CALL.

A CLOSE CALL.
Charlie, the three-years-old son Of
{. A. Stanley of Spring street, had
narrow escape from death on Satur-
day evening last. Two or three Of
the boys in that neighborhood had
dug hole in the sand back of F. N.
Browns residence with a view to
trapping Larger game" The hole
was nearly six feet deep and about
two feet across at the top, and it was
covered with lath and a layer Of
earth. The young Stanley boy was
the first to step on the treacherous
layer, and went down to the bottom,
where he remained in sitting pos
ture. The dirt which had covered
the trap fell in upon him, and there
was also a slight cave-in-sufficient
to completely bury the little fellow,
only small part Of the top of his
head being visible when help first ar
rived. Mr.. Brown chanced to be at
home and ran Immediately to the
rescue, but could not reach the boy
to do anything until further help
came. Mr.. Stanley, fortunately, was
on his way home to supper and was
soon apprised Of his boys danger.
Quite company gathered quickly,
but the impossibility ofany ones get
ting into the hole with the lad made
it very difficult to rescue him. The
sand was packed closely about the
boy, and even when the diggers had
progressed far enough to allow TAX
ing him by the armsit required some
effort to pull him out,
1t was a very serious affair, and
ought to cure the boys of any further
desire for that sort Of trap digging.

RAILROAD COLLISION.

The Passumpsic division of the
Boston & Maine had an expensive
wreck about two miles north of
Newport last Saturday. The Cana
dian Pacific trains have been using
the line from Newport to Lennoxville
because the c. P. trestle at Newport
has become impossible. A Canadian
Pacific freight train Of IS cars left
Newport at about 4 O'Clock with
Engineer Chapman OF the Passumpsic
road as pilot. At the same time
passenger train left Stanstead juno
tion going south. Mr.. Chapman
forgot about this train and in the
collision which occurred two engines,
one butter car and six freight cars
were completely wrecked. The pas
sengers escaped with slight bruises.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
Mr.. Chapman will probably be held
responsible for the accident, as it was
his business to have had in mind the
Stanstead train and wait for it, as
that train had the right of way.

A GOLDEN WEDDING.

OF all the wedding anniversaries,
there is none to which SO much inter-
est is attached as to the one of gold.
1t is sometimes question whether
even the bushiug bride, in the glory
of orange blossoms and the vigor Of
youth, is more admired and more
sought after than the wrinkled dame
who proudly surveys so years of
welded bliss. There has recently
been such celebration in Southboro,
Mass, which has in it an element Of
interest for St. Johnsbury, since three
Of the children (Mr. c. c. Follansby,
Mrs. H. c. Bond, and Mrs. w. l..
Russell), reside here, and the long
welded pair spent six years in this
immediate vicinity. Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Follansby were married
July "a, 1S43, at Durham, Canada.
At the celebration in Southboro, tw o
sons, five daughters, and11 grand
children met to do honor to the ven
erable pair. These and other guests
brought many tributes Of affection,
among which were so gold dollars.
The dinner was bountiful and delic-
ious, and the after dinner speeches
appreciative and complimentary. A
poem was prepared for the occasion
by J. E. Woodbury.. NJ.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The St. Johnsbury nine were bad
ly beaten at Portsmouth last Thurs
day, the score standing % to 6.
Our boys did some excellent batting
and the Portsmouth Times says:
"Gauthier, in left field, put up star
fielding game, two Of his catches be-
ing simply grand" Everybody but
Shufelt secured base hits and Hawley
secured a two-base hit.
The annual contest between the
fat men and lean men will take place
next Wednesday afternoon on the
campus. This will undoubtedly be
the most interesting game of the
season and is sure to attract big
crowd. Some of St. Johnsbury's
heavy weights have been engaged
and there will be lots OF fun for all.
Manager King has arranged for a
series of games with the Lyndon
villes. Five or seven games will be
played, alternating between the two
villages. The first will be played at
Lyndonville on Thursday, August
10, and the second in st. Johnsbury
on Saturday, August ~. The Lyn-
donville team will be strengthened
by new players and close contests
are expected.

ROTTEN BANKING.

Reports from Minneapolis show
that the affairs of the Northwestern
Guaranty Loan Company were rot
ten to the core long before the failure.
The company guaranteed straw
paper to the amount of 81, 700, 900,
getting irresponsible parties to sign
the commercial paper. L. F. Men
ages whereabouts are still unknown.
The stockholders of the company
have probably lost what they put
in, but whether they can be assessed
on their stock is matter for the
Vermont courts to decide
