THE GAINS OF PROGRESS.

With annexation brought to pass the
good times which came to the sugar
planters few years ago would come to
all Hawaiians. The first result would
be rush of noneyed investors here
from the coast-men and their kind
who have been following the pioneers
from the Alleghanies to the Pacific
states, building great cities as they went
and turning vacant principalites of land
into orchards and gardens, Thousands
of these restless and constructive spirits
are waiting for American law and
power to establish these islands in peace,
order and security; and when that is
done they are ready to come to Homo
lulu and Hawaii and build them up
and develop their latent resources at
whatever cost of industry and expendi-
ture Of capital. One year after annex
alton had been secured, this city would
be twice its present size and would hum
and buzz with business; the harbor
would be crowded with commerce the
available wild lands would begin to
blossom with the fruits of thrift the
coast cable project would be taking
form Geographic communication be.
tween the islands would have been
established and Oahu would be girdled
with tracks of iron.
This is no fanciful picture. 1t is
what the progressive men Of America
have done successfully for Chicago and
Illinois; Omaha and Nebraska; Kansas
City and its contiguous territory; Seat.
tie, Tacoma and Washington; Los An
geles, San Diego and Fort Worth; and
what they will do for any advantageous
part of the American Union. Out OF
it all every man, woman and child in
Hawaii would gain in prosperity, com.
fort and happiness.
What has royalty to give as an Offset
Stagnation in trade; political weak
ness which would make these islands
the prey OF strong maritime nations; a
rotten royalty and a boodling legis.
lature; oppressive taxes; insecure titles
and government by political adven
turers.
1t is contention between progress:
and reaction; between right and wrong
between honesty and dishonesty; be-
tween a great future and a discredtet
past.

administrative way, either for Alaska or
the United States, could yet be had by
acceding to their wishes.
Hawaiians have no cause to study
the Alaskan precedent because there is
nothing in it that points in this direc-
ton. Hawaiians being a civilized ard
numerous people would be treated,
under annex ton, as were the Creoles
of Louisiana, the Mexicans of Califor-
MIA and the Africans Of the South, not
to mention the redeemed Creeks and
Seminoles of the Indian Territory, who
exercise home rule. There could lie
no other outcome and the natives here
need give themselves no concern on
the subject.

element of the community when the
late Queen by her own act, in attempt
ing to promulgate a constitution (Which
even the Liberal admits was an out
rageous proceeding) created the anarchy
and uncertainty which was evident on
all sides during the 18th and roth days
of January.
The same cowardy impulse that
actuatcd the ministers to fee from the
Government building to the station
house on the eventful afternoon of
January 18th, caused the rabble that
had collected there in support of the
lost cause" to weaken in the face of
the determined stand taken by the or
ganizyrs Of the Provisional Government
and their supporters, and to capitulate
to the Provisional Government. Had
the attributes of royalty and patriotism
found IN abiding place in the hearts OF
any Cf these cowards-they had arms
and ammunition enough to have wiped
out the drel hundred that were pltted
against them. Let us hear no more
argument about intervention and
superior forces" of the United States
in the face of the facts above enumer-
ated
Successful revolution is not treason
and to compare the status of those con.
cerned in the fasco of 1889 and the
last embryo attempt to form a republic
by Ashlord-WilCoX & Co., to the pres
ent government simply demonstrates
the dense ignorance of the person writ
ing such trash.
The Provisional Government is the
only recognized government Of HeSt
Islands to-day, and it is as much trea
son now for royalist to plot for a mon
archy and others for an Independent
republic, as it was year ago for WILCOX
and his associates to plot for republic
while living under the monarchy.
The Provisional Government has bu
one purpose-the economical conduc
of the affairs of this country until sucf
time as our union with the UniteC
States can be efeCted-that is the SOLE
power and purpose under the Procla
nation published on January 18th
Any statements to the contrary b,
writer's in the newspapers or Others, arr
lies made out of whole cloth anC
unwarranted by the logic Of events.
In conclusion we wish once more tt
urge on our readers the desirability O
their candid consideration of the grea
step that we feel certain will be takel
in the near future, and to prepare then
selves by close examination into tn
merits of free constitutional government
under the American flag as compare,
with the past government of thes
islands SO as to intelligently accept an
sacredly guard the great privileges an
immurites which we are sure to EMO
as part of the greatest Republic tn
world has yet seen.

THE KUOKOA TALKS.
How Native Paper Views the Liberals
Flop.

Flop.
"Let justice be done though the
heavens fall"
Under the above heading there is an
article in the Liberal Of Wednesday,
which though appearing in Hawaiian,
has the ear marks and contains the
sentiments of certain haole who has
several times appeared on the scenes in
Hawaiian intrigues with oil on his
tongue, selhshness in his heart, Doodle
in his eye and revolver in his hand.
This man has alternately played the
foreigners and natives for suckers as
the whims of caprice or the designs of
an adventurous spirit would dictate.
this is simply matter of history.
1t has been the misfortune of our
friend r. w. Wilcox that the shadow
of such spirits as the one we now refer
to, have darkened the threshold of the
doorway which leads to the avenues OF
industry, thrift and contentmentS, and
with appeals to his vanity or bland refer
ence to success for his ambition have al
ways pointed the way that leads to polti
cal suicide and personal degradation,
We sincerely advise our brother scribe to
halt for a moment and contemplate
the probable results of the course which
he has allowed to be outlined in Wed
nesday issue, as the future policy Of the
LibeYqI.
If the statements made yesterday be
true, why was the Liberal silent on
these momentous questions during the
stirring times of last january Why
did not these self styled patriots buckle
on a cartridge belt and shoulder gun
for their "principIes as did the better

WILTSE IN WASHINGTON.

Captain G. c. Wiltse, who was re
lieved of the command Of the cruiser
Boston in Honolulu harbor by Captain
B. +. Day, has been ordered to Wash
ington to report his reasons for his ac-
ton in landing an armed force in Ha-
waii.-BMictiH.
AS the candid Vizier remarked TO his
August Master when the latter Shove d
him some spring poetry he had written,
May my soul be the sacrifice, but this
is bosh."
If Captain Witse had been ordere d
to Washington to report his reasons for
landing an armed force in Hawaii, he
would probably have replied that he
sent his men on shore because he was
ordered to do so by his superior officer,
the United States minister.
Captain Wiltse went to Washington
to be consulted with. When there the
United States government did moi
make fool of itself by asking him
silly questions.

NO ALASKAN PRECEDENT.

The men who are fighting annexation
refer to Alaska as an example of the
kind ofrepresentatjve government which
the United States is accustomed to be,

This is very disingenuous. The
natives of Alaska, who are sodden say
ages, have never asked for the suffrage
and would barter it for new kind Oh

and Juneau have yearned for terri
torial rights, but such men are few,

The public response to the STARS
plea for more decisive treatment Of the
royal cancer was instant and spontA-
neous. Scores Of representative men,
both whites and Hawaiians, have called
to express their own satisfaction with it
and that of hundreds of others. The
government can rest assured that popu.
lar sentiment will support it in severe
measures of repression in case that
treason continues to show its head and
hand. There need be no hesitanCy
from fear of the results. The annexa-
ton party is ready to back the constitute
ed authorities in any procedure which
may be needed to maintain their dignity
and subdue their foes.

a part of the Great Republic,
seems to be the burning ques-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have a little "boW-
7vO7v with you on some other
subjects, that concern you as
well as ourselves.
Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be Gin it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise well dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
We have already laid in a
stock of the Latest Hats of the
coming Spring and Summer
styles, III hard felts, soft felts
and straws, aud including a line
OF the celebrated FEDORA "
Hats, at present all the rage in
the United States. There is
therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
old Tile that bears such
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"
Believing that business will
be better in the near future, we
have not hesitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance: We have
almost everything you could
wish for. If you wear a stand
ing collar, just come in and
take a look at our =" Narenta"
or "Ardonia > or if you prefer
a turn down collar, try the
"Wlnnipeg' or "Goswell;" we
have have lots of others, and
can't fail to suit you. Cuffs in
abundance, links or otherwise.
Neckwear in profusion, scarfs
windsors Ain hands, and a
special lot of Boys Bows"
suspenders in great variety,
leather and woven ends, good
strong, serviceable goods.
We might go on indefinitely,
but space is valuable, and to
enumerate everything we carry
would fill a pretty fair sized
Book. If there is anything
you want in the mems line,
just drop in and see us, and if
we can't suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.
Ifyou should want a pair of
nice shoes, let us try a hand at
fitting you. Did it ever occur
