After the Exercises a Barbecue and Sports
Are Enjoyed.

On the evening of July 3 there
was ball at Court House hall. A
very delightful, pleasant company;
not large number but all felt that
they had a good time. Refreshments
at Hilo Hotel.
July 4 there was goodly number
assembled on Cocoanut Island to
honor the day. There was not as
many as was provided for by our
friend Wilson, who never does any
thing but he does it we'll and no
stinting. A bullock was roasted by
one who is familiar with that kind
of work, Mr.. Lycurgus. 1t was roast
ed on the island. Otherwise all the
food was cooked native style.
The orator of the day was the
pastor of the Foreign Church, Rev.
e. p. Baker. His address was great
ly appreciated, Judging by the fire.
quent applause. 1t was as follows:
He referred to two specialties, the
Worlds Fair at Chicago and the
fact that the Islands had applied for
union to America. 1t was note
worthy that so large section Of
Hawaiians were in favor of union to
the United States. He did not dis
cuss the subject of annexation. The
address treated purely on United
States topics. First, the tariff should
be tariff for protection in the case
of infant industries. The sugar in
dustry of the islands was nurtured
by the United States tariff in it's in
fancy. Protection of old and estab-
lished industries is favoritism. The
speaker disagreed with the dictum
of Cleveland's inaugural. 1t is not
the government to support the peo-
pie, but the people the government.
All governments should try and help
the people.
Secondly, foreign policy. Wash
ington warned the country against
European alliance, but Monroe de-
clared that America was for Ameri-
cans, and that Europe should keep
hands off. The United States has
not decided whether to have a for
eign policy. Some say Uncle Sam
should not go beyond the mainland
for fear Of wetting his feet, while

States should have colonies, and
possess those islands that belong to
the American system. To hold the
mainland of Hawaii one must pos
sess Cocoanut Island to prevent the
enemy's planting it's batteries there
and bombarding the mainland.
Thirdly, immigration. America,
the so-called asylum for all nations,
has become the dumping ground of
all nations. Chinese restriction is
enacted as law, not on account of
unfriendliness but to prevent Mon
COLONIZATION of the western coast
of America. No hardship for Chi
nese to register, American citizens
have to do the same. All this fuss
is due to the dictum of the Six
Companies. The Chinese should be
kindly treated, but America cannot
he made Chinese colony. Uncle
Sam has big job on his hands in
various respects. The American
eagle does not feel like screaming
very loudly, but gently as sucking
dove.
Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam,
beware OF tne DAY,
When wages and wealth
Are in battle array.
For lockouts and strikes
Rush dark on my sight,
And policemen and sherihis
Are scattered in flight.
They rally, they bleed,
For the home and the town,
But the hurricane deepens
And all things are down.
Americans should be serious
minded. The negro jumps Jim Grow
to perfection. Wheel about, turn
about, do just so, and every time
turn about jump Jim Grow. But
nations are not saved by jumping
Jim Crow. On the soil of Hawai-
we should be cheerful and hopeful
