THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 7, SO
THE CHOICE FOR The NATIVES

BY this time intelligent natives must
begin to see that the Royal cause is
doomed and that they have been sys-
tematically fooled about its prospects.
Twenty-four dates in all have been set
for restoration yet restoration has not
come and is now by word among all
who knew the trend of Mr.. Blount's
views before he left this capital. Every
assurance given by the ex-Queen to her
former subjects about an early return
to Iolani Palace has come to nothing
Her prophecies have been futile, her
pledges are discredited, and the disap-
pointments she has caused are unre-
lieved. That any native with a mind
of his own can believe any more of her
divinations or fail to take account Of
the progress of Hawaii toward annexa
ton or a protectorate, is to assume that
credulity in its most optimistic form is
an ineffaceable trait of the Polynesian
character. As for the STAR, it does
not think that the Hawaians have any
real confidence left in Royalist renais
sance, and in that belief it feels that it
may counsel with them about the
future with some assurance of a
hearing.
The times have grown critical for
the Hawaiians themselves just so far as
they have pushed the annexation idea
aside and made room for protectorate
over the Government as 1t stands.
Annexation, as we have pointed out a
score of times, means the enfranchise
ment of the native race 1t is synony-
nous with the voting privilege; but
under proteCtorste this Government
could do what it pleased with the local
suffrage and might not feel disposed to
yield very much to people who had
misguidedly opposed its plans and de-
layed their achievement. 1t remains
largely with the Hawaiians themselves
to say whether they are to fare well OF
badly. They might, by concerted action,
help bring annexation about during
Cleveland's term. By further opposi.
ton they would fall under protectorate
and that, as we have shown, would be
greatly to their disadvantage. Their
only remaining choice is between
American citizenship and the position
they now occupy. Quite as much as
this has been told them by paper of
their own tongue, the Knokoa, and it
is true as gospel according to all the
saints If they do not believe it, we
are sorry for them. If they now see
the fact as it stands, they ought to take
advantage Of it
The time is ripe for some native
leader to guide his fellows into the only
field of practical craftsmanship that is
open to them. To help the country
towards annexation now-that is then
true function as friends of their land
and themselves Will they be wise
enough to act accordingly
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-09-07

THERE is merit in the complaint of
an Annexationist Mechanic that con-
victs are employed at various forms of
skilled labor when honest men, capable
of doing the same work, and who are
loyal and taxpaying friends of the Gov
eminent, are out of job. The issue
thus raised has been familiar one in
the United States during the past
twenty years and has been generally
settled in favor of free labor So far
as we can recall the facts very few
State prisons in America are now per-
mitted TO compete with legitimate
manufacturing houses and their work
ingmen. New York no longer makes
shoes, and California has closed down
its prison furniture department, con-
fining its striped artisans to the making
of gunny sacks and the picking to
pieces of old rope. Elsewhere SEN
fences to hard labor are taken out in
breaking stone. 1t is certainly opposed
TO prevailing American sentiment, as it
is to common fairness, to use prisoners
from the reef to do carpenter work and
paint buildings Honest men and
good Annexationists should have the
first chance for public employment as
against all comers-particularly corners
with the ball and chain.

Commissioner Blount has returned
from Hawaii, but no one can find out
what his report will be, although he is
claimed to be in favor of protectorate
power by the United States over the
Islands. He would probably incline to
annexation if Harrison had not favored
such move first. There is too much
politics in managing public affairs for
the general good, and people who want
to make capital out OF every public
movement are not good citizens, nor
good politicians either, in our opinion.

An Arkansas Assassination.

The dead body of a negro named Gus Frazer was found in the public road, 1 mile east of Magnolia, with wound in the back part of the head, supposed to have been made by ball from Win chester rifle. A man from the country states that he met the negro the day before near where he was killed, and that he was being followed by three white boys, who were cursing and abusing him. An inquest was held, but no light was thrown upon the af- fair
