AS an old Hawaiian l was some

attitude of Mr.. Hatch in the Council
the other day, when Mr.. Dole con-
suited said Council regarding the
propriety of proclaiming the 3lst
public holiday. Mr.. Hatch immedi-
ately opposed the proposition on the
ground of interference with busi-
ness, etc, and being supported by
Mr.. Young succeeded in preventing
thousands of Hawaiians the gratiti-
cation of seeing their great holiday
celebrated, or at least observed by
the Government. 1t is not the
mere loss of holiday that is SO gall

Hawaiian but the foreign residents,

one of the conspicuous characters in

their sympathizers as it would be to

THREE GALLANT DEFENDERS.

Three members Of tho Board of
Health come out in Il card, defend
ing the President from the onus of
responsibility for the Kalalau affair.
AS the main. indeed the only point
of their defense is that the Board is
responsible as whole, their resent
ment over lnvidious charges against
an individual member is rather
tardy in expression. 1t should have
been due on the appearance OF the
gross attack upon Mr.. Carter in a
Government paper, as being the
originator of the proposal to enforce
the segregation law on Kauai as
elsewhere. Mr.. Carter, however,
being the only member Of the Board
who was not an annexationist, the
resentful trio could not find it their
duty to defend him as they attempt
| to defend the President. 1t makes
difference whose OK is gored.
While they were about IL, however,
the chivalrous trio should have
stated whether it was the case or
not that Mr.. Carter advised the Pre-
sident of the Board to consult his
colleagues Of the Government be-
fore proceeding to carry out the
decision of the Board. This was
the essential point in Mr.. Carriers
defense of himself, when dragged
into controv@ rsy by foul attack
on him, but the triad evade it al
together. Possibly Mr.. Smith may
have consulted his colleagues and is
now screening them, but the fact
of Mr.. Carter's advice in that regard
certainly frees Mr.. Carter from the
odium thrust upon him by the Gov
ernment press.

different from the old ones. The
sons of missionaries have grabbed
up all the former wealth of the
native, and $4,000 Asiatics with their
loathsome seeds Of death have been
introduced, not for the benefit of
the poor aborigines, but to satisfy
the lust for gold Of the white intru-
ders. But the only means now for
the poor natives to avoid being
crushed under the new order of
things, is precisely to carefully cling
to government of their own in
their own country, and not by sur
rendering the management OF their
! own affairs to the tender mercies Of
aliens interested in their destruc-
ton.
In order to defend the indefensi-
BILE attitude Of Prof. Alexander, Ka-
maaina wants us to believe that
the "Ggis of the American Repub-
lie" with the political security" it
is so we'll known to grant to the
weaker races within its own borders,
is the only salvation for the unfor,
tunate kanaka, i'll his own land
Many thanks. Kamaaina! Indeed
the frightful "protcction" dispensed
by Uncle Sam to the poor Indians
who are oppressed, starved and ex.
terminated in their scanty "reserva.
tions" of the waste lands, after being
driven away from all the good ones
is true index of the lot that awaits
the Hawaiian with annexation. They
would Immediately be driven to the
wall, starved, treated as "a damned
nigger," and stake would even be
ready to burn them alive, according
to American precedents, if they at
tempted to protest. Now, Prof
Alexander knows all this, and, as tn,
Holomua very correctly said few
days ago, in order to carry out faith
fully his mission in Washington
every word out of his mouth vii
have to be lie. But certainly hi
own dead father and the mission
aries of his time would be horrifiec
, if they could see Prof. Alexande
ready to barter the death of tina
same race of natives for whose saliva
tion they devoted their own lives.
"Kamaaina" cannot squirm out o
this. ANTI HUMBuG.
