"A Leading Hawaiian Politician

We have been permitted to read
a letter from Honolulu sent to q
gentleman of this city by a leading
Hawaiian politician, who until re-
Gently was an opponent of annexa-
ton and . supporter of the ex-
queen, and wSose picture has been
printed in the Herald as that of a
determined anti annexationist.
This patriotic native of Hawaii, in
his letter to his correspondent in
New York, writes thus:
eve Hawaiians are anxious to
know what our destiny is to be,
and what is Cleveland's policy, so
far as we are concerned. l was not
at first in favor of annexation,
which, as 1 am pleased to know,
is advocated in America by the
Sun; but. after due consideration,
/ have come to the conclusion that
annexation, pure and simple, is the
only salvation for our Hawaii. l
am now, therefore, n rank annexa-
zionist"
This correspondent, as we learn,
is not the only Hawaiian of i'm
portance who, after seeing his pic
ture in the Herald, has changed
his views on the subject of annexa-
ton. He is 4 man of large in
fiuence.
We regret to say that We cannot
give him the information that he
desires concerning I" President
Cleveland's policy" in the case of
Hawaii. We should like to be able
te offer the assurance that this
policy will be that which, as the
Hawaiian writer says, holds out
the only hope for the salvation of
Hawaii. But we can only say to
him, in the plaintive old language
of his native country: "Aloha nui
