TURN THE RASCAtS OUT.
THE DEMAND is BECOMING
GENERAL.
The Citizens Reserve and American
League Adopt the Annexation
clubs Policy of Removal.

The Annexation party is beginning
to form in line for concerted effort to
rid the civil service of the Government
of its Royalist incumbents.
Feeling on the subject has become
very deep in the ranks of the Govern
ment supporters both conservative and
radical as is shown by the passage of
strong resolutions by the Annexation
Club, the Citizens Reserve and the
American League.
These resolutions were adopted at the
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Annexation Club held last Saturday
evening:
Whereas, The Annexation Club of
the Hawaiian Islands, imbued with
loyalty to the cause for which it was
established and in. full sympathy with
the fundamental aims and purposes of
the Government which the armed
service of its members ordained and
instituted, hereby,
ResoiUe, That the time has come to
develop a more decisive and vigorous
public Iolicy by which appointees of
the Crown who are not active, 10y al and
confessed adherents of the annexation
cause shall be displaced from Office
under the Provisional Government and
the vacancies thereby made supplied by
candidates whose fitness to perform
official duties is supplemented by their
firm and helpful allegiance to the OBJ
jects which the revolution of January
Eth, 1893, was designed to secure to
the Government and people of the
Hawaiian group.
ReSolred, That the Annexation Club
recognizes a legitimate cause of dis
content in the employment of convicts
at manual and skilled labor in competi-
ton with honest mechanics and work
ingmen who are supporting the Provis-
ional Government, and that it SYM
pathizes with the demand that work
upon public highways and buildings be
hereafter apportioned out among the
loyal and worthy unemployed of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Resolved, That the Annexation Club
views with alarm the presence in the
Advisory Council of one or more men
who are not in sympathy with the An
nexation movement, and respectfully
urges in case of future additions to that
body, or to the Executive Council, that
nominations to it may precede elections
lOl a lCBS VI billlS pulllCltuU lOI all
investigation to be made as to the
political views and antecedents of the
candidate.
Resolved, That the Club denounces
any and all propositions looking to a
political compromise which shall have
for an object or sequence the temporary
or permanent restoration of the Ha-
waiian throne, and that it pledges
moral and physical resistance to all
measures or men that may be enlisted
in such behalf. . -
Knowing that four of the District
& Details of the Citizens Reserve had met
on successive evenings last week to per-
feet their military organization, and
that they had taken the opportunity to
pass strong resolutions against the con-
tinuance of Royalists in office, STAR
reporter went out to get the facts. He
secured two of the sets, as follows:
At meeting of the three details of
Squad No. 3, Citizens Reserve, held on
Friday evening, November 10th, the fol.
lowing resolution was passed with but
one dissenting voice:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
squads of the Citizens Reserve here as
sembled that the responsible Offices of
the Government should be filled by
men who, besides being fit to carry on
the public business, are active and loyal
supporters of the Provisional Govern
ment and the cause of Annexation.
Two meetings had preceded that of
Friday, the resolutions of which had
been sent to the Marshal. A STAR re-
porter asked him for the text this morn
ing but the Marshal thought that his
duty required him to put it before the
Government before he did the public
''You may say, however, that the reso-
buttons passed are in line with the two
of which you have copies"
The other resolution, which the STAR
has secured, was unanimously passed
Saturday evening by the several details
of squad No. 8. 1t was as follows:
Resolved, That the members of the
Citizens Reserve coincide in the belief
that, while the Government of Hawaii
is mer aced ly internal foes, all public
officials should be active and loyal in
their support of the authorities; and
further, that employees in the civil SER
with the Government should, as meas
IRE of military expediency, be promptly
superseded
The new American League, including
an influential part of the Annexationist
force, has made its wishes known az fol-
lows:
Whereas, We firmly believe that a
large amOunt of the money now maid
out in salaries to officials, whose loyalty
to the existing Government is more than
doubted, finds it's way into Royalist
hands and is used to the injury of the
present Governments:
Resolved, That the American League
hereby protests against the continuance
in Office of all those whose 10y atty to the
Provisional Government is not beyond
question.
