THE NEW ERA.

people, weary of the conspiracies,
usurpatlons, scandals, and en-
croachments upon their rights and
Liberties which have marked the
last years of the Hawaiian mon
archy, have asserted the preroga-
tive inherent in every people to
determine the form of their own

The reasons for this action are
so obvious as to need no statement.

Year after year, we have had to
patch up, and patch up, the free

The change which has taker

Hawaii will not lose her re
