ana sayings Of our last sovereign
Claus Spreckels and the Hon. Pau
1 Neumann-the three leading light;
against snnexation-must believe
as the writer does, viz, that It Is
not patriotism, love of country, MOI
love OF any part of the people that
prompts them to oppose annexa-
tion-but 1t is self-interest, SUI
preme selfshness. Our last sover-
eign sent Hon. Mr.. Neumann to
Washington, and instructed him to
negotiate with the Washington
government for q liberal money
allowance for herself and for her
supposed successor. She asked no
favors for the country or for her
people; and when self is so large

else from being seen, II is not love
Of country that presents itself to
view.

visional government and all friends
of annexation. whether they be
found here or in the United States.
He wants cheap labor to work his
plantations (no selfshness there)
and he believes annexation will
prevent ii. He appears blind to
the country's welfare, stable gov
eminent, and everything but cheap
labor.
Mr.. Spreckels claims to be a
friend Of the poor kanaka. He

For why ? Because he believes the
duped kanakas can help him to de-
feat annexation, and that viii en-
sure him plenty of cheap labor,
which must be very gratifying
TO the poor laboring kanaka as
well as profitable to Mr.. Spreckels.

under his financial thumb. are for

alton would be good for the coun-
try and are willing to abide the re-
suits whether labor be low or high.
Mr.. Neumann's selfshness does
not crop out in such bold. plain
words as those referred to above
but his advice to President Dole
and the Provisional government
implies as much. When the emo
