Mr.. Blount's views" is fallacy. The
Hawaiians have waited patiently
seven months, and are perfectly con-
tent to wait awhile longer, until the
United States makes known what its
action towards their Queen and
themselves will be. They feel conf
dent that they will be treated justly,
and their rights assured to them.
If the Star thinks that the time is
ripe for some native leader to guide
his fellows towards supporting its
annexation scheme, why does not
the annexation party make some
financial arrangements wit h native
leader to do sol 1t perhaps feels
that it would be useless to try,
Where is the large native support,
that the annexation party boasts SO
much about, does it need drumming
up2 After referring to what the
natives should do, what advantage
is to be gained by annexation and
the disadvantages they would have
under a protectOrate, the Star says,
quite as much as this has been told
them by paper of their own
tongue, the Kuokoa, and it is true as
gospel according to all the saints"
AS the Kuokoa happens to be the
mouthpiece Of the annexation party,
! there is not any force to the above
assertion. The Hawaiians do not
take much interest in the Kuokoa,
and it is not read by many. AS the
Hawaiians do not place confidence
in the reverend-political saints of
this country, the political gospel
preached to them through the Kuo-
koa would not be believed if they
read it. There is no use for you to
talk annexation to the natives,
Messrs. Star clique. Nor can you
expect Rosa, Parker, Bush, Colburn,
| Cummins, Nawahi, or any other Ha-
waiian to do it for you9
For the past two months armed
soldiers have been stationed in the
lane nearly opposite Miller street,
leading from Beretania street to
Palace Walk. The soldiers go on
duty at about midnight, and remain
until daylight. AS many as ten or
twelve armed soldiers have been seen
on Beretania street near the lane at
half past one o'clock in the morn
ing. Not many nights since, one of
the armed guards patrolled the
street from the lane to the corner of
the Central Union Church, which is
opposite the Queens residence, on
Richards street. Besides the SOL
diers, white men evidently spies have
beeen patrolling the street from
Richards street to the lane. At
times they sit down on the steps Of
the church, again they hide them
selves by lying on the ground in the
dark, on the Waikiki side of the
church, evidently watching the
they show more spunk, and walk up
to the fence and look in on the
grounds. A few nights since one of
them was prowling in the grounds
of the Punahou Preparatory School,
he went up to the fence separating
that lot from the Queens premises,
climbed up aud looked over as if it
was his intention to enter the pre-
misses. That same night, another
person, or it may have been the same
one who was in the school lot, was
proWling around in the McKibbin
lot, on the other side Of the Queens
premises. There is reason to believe
that armed men are at times station
ed in the Central Union Church, for
the purpose of watching the Queens
premises.
Can it be, that such actions are
being carried on, evidently with the
sanction of the several authorities,
without the Executive having any
knowledge of the matter? That
cannot be. Why then has the Gov
eminent apparently ordered such a
watch to be placed on Washington
Place. 1t surely does not fear or
expect any uprising to emanate from
there. The sooner it gives up such
ideas the better. More than that,
neither the Queen nor the Hawaiians
entertain any thought of making a
disturbance. That fact is we'll known
to the authorities. 1t is evident that
the apparent placing of surveil-
lance over the Queens premises is
done for political purposes. There is
no occasion for it., such actions are
not only an annoyance to the Queen,
but they are acts of persecution.
The Queen is entitled to all courtesy
and respect from the present Govern
ment, and it should be shown to her.
If not for watching the Queens
premises, what are those men station
cd in that immediate neighborhood
