into the possession Of the
missionaries sons and their
friends. the american people ara
indusy bound to make that real
estate still more valuable by an
nexing the islands 70 the United
States and that no daty We think
we owe to cur own country should
prevail against the duty We owe
to them. As they express it, the
American people cannot Ego
back on them without disgrace.
This IS a most preposterous ma
ton. but il it should gain ground
among our people. it would be a
very dangerous one for our future.
And it seems to be assidouslv
fostered by many OF the Hawaiian
missionaries friends among our
clergy. Ii We are foolish enough
to give any weight to such an
appeal and to treat such a claim
as valid, there would be no end
of similar pretenslons. They
would be put forth by all sorts of
American Adventures, who had
acquired interests in other quart
ers of the globe and then wish
this republic to take those inter-
ests under It's protection and en-
chance their value, and we shall
never cease to be troubled by the
agitation of the widest annexa-
ton schemes. Thisis the most dan
gerous kind of Indictment to reck-
less territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
and when once started on such a
career We shall find it difficult to
stop. Such pretensions should
therefore be repealed at
once wit b tn e u m o
decision and frmness, and the
impndent Hawaiian appellant
from the American President to
the American people should be
made to understand that if the
missionaries sons and their
friends have succeeded in feather
ing their nests on the Hawaiian
Islands, they have done so at
their own risk; that we do not
grudge them. their good fortune,
but that We are not willing to
curse this republic with policy
obliging it to build and maintain
a navy as large as any navy in
the world for the purpose Of
protecting those nests

DoUBLY DOOMED.
The verdict of Stanford's
Students Supported.

"The annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands to the United
States is not a commendable
proposition" is the text of a
decision rendered at the Grand
Opera House Jan. Goth by
Supreme Justice Beatty, United
States District Judge Morrow
and Superior Judge Slack. This
opinion was not based upon the
merits of the case, seriously and
carefully considered, but upon
the preponderance of oratorical
weight in two-hours' debate on
the question: Resolued, That
the Hawaiian islands should be
annexed to the United States"
Irwin M. Scott was to have
assisted General w. II. l.. Barnes
In presenting the affirmative
portion of the argument, but u
sudden and serious illness pre-
vented his attendance and the
Generals duty was consequently
doubled. Rev. Horatio Stebbins
and John P. Irish sustained the
negative in n successful way, as
evidenced by the verdict of the
judges.
There were upward of 1000
persons present, aud the most
absorbing attention WIS mani
tested In the mastery manner in
which the pertinent question was
handled by its friends and oppo
nents.
President James d. Phelan in
introducing the orators. said the
debate was designed to precede
the Congress ofdebates of the Mid
winter Fair. and that its results
would be devoted to the entertain
ment of the distinguished guests
who would soon visit this city in
the interests of art and Of science.
Mr.. Phelan referred pleasantly to
the gentlemen who had been cbo-
sen as referees, and then briefly
explained the topic of discussion.
He then introduced General ".
H. L. Barnes to the audience. A
warm applause greeted the
popular speaker as he began
little legal retrospection bearing
upon the primary motive of The
discussion.

can be seen from the following

and directed the overthrow of the
government, is Lorrn A. Thurs

this nation. The act receives
small consideration from the fact
that Tburston is himself native
of the Hawaiian Islands, and
might be presumed to have a
streak of patriotism mingled with
his desire for gain. Naturally
the royal curios were abstracted
secretly. To have removed them
openly would have aroused a
storm of indignation. not only on
the part of the Royalists, but also
among many of the adherents of
the present administration. When

NOT WANTED.

Rev. Horatio Stebbins closed
for the negative. and incidentally
reviewed many of the salient
POINTS brought out by the other
speakers. He took up point of
international law, saying that it
was not law, but a confession
that there was degree of ackuow-
lodged justice between state and
state.
The people who have put a
SO 900 tax on a civilians vote are
not fit to cast a ballot for free
dom" he said. IF, unlike
England. the sun does set on our
dominion. l thank God that We
can be trusted in the DARK. To
submit the que st ION of
annexation to the voters
of Hawaii would be the
acme of absurdity. and had better
be submitted to the coiored voters
of Louisiana. We have enough
domain on our hands Our history
has been, come to Us. We have
said it too long. and we must now
be careful. We do not want Hawaii
at any price; We do not want her
il. the family; We will maintain the
ststu quo, and some day it may be
necessary TO tell some one tn keep
awav. bal Hawaii is not needed in
the family"
This concluded the argument and
the question WAS given into the
hands of the judges for decision
In few minutes Chief Justice
Beatty approached the foot lights
aid said:
I'VE decide, not the merits OF
the question. bnt the merits of
the argument. We do not al
together agree on all points. but
we do agree on one point, and
that Is that the weight of the
argument tonight is In favor of
the negative"
An uncertain approval greeted
the verdict, apparently an
evidence of the fact that the
friends Of annexation comprised
the majority Of the audience.
