they were mistrustful In consequence.
Europeans would not have acted so
under the same circumstances IL WAS
necessary 10 have patience and for
bearance with them. Matters OF
public nature were difficult enough 70
deal with under any circumstances,
hut now this is more than ordinarily
the case. The ordinary channels Of
EXPRESSION through the ballot box
have been closed. and there has been
8 powerful hostile influence from
without 10 contend against. Ii is a
matter Of pride that thus far self
interest has been Subordinated TO
higher considerations Men have
stood ready 10 make any sacrifices TO
support the great principle at stake.

few words more 10 say. l don't know
in just what form our future difficult
ties will arrive. Our grand object is
the attainment of good government
through union with the United States
We must subordinate personal ambi-

and then We will move on 10 success.
Some one in the crowd then pro-
posed three cheers for President
Dole. which were given with a will.
JUDGE RoSsRrSoN: | thank the
Committee for giving ME this oppor-
tunity TO appear As fellow annexa-
ZIONIST. \ yeSr ago was five thOus-
Snd miles away, unconscious of what
was taking place and unable TO take
part in resistance 20 the fatal act of
the foolish Queen. Upon the arrival
OF the five Commissioners in the Unit
ed States, recognized the same spirit
which told kSl3kauS in lSS7 10 come
down from his high horse, and in 1889
told Bob Wilcox TO come out from his
gasoline tank. was pleased TO hear
that the boys Of - were still in the
ranks in lS9S. l read letter in the
Star the other day in which British
sailor was offended 81 being called =
boy, but shall never feel inSulted at
being called ''one OF the boys Old
men for counsel; young men for war.
The young men here were ready few
weeks ago 10 fight our great and good
friend Grover Cleveland. I am not
ashamed to confess that my eonver-
sion TO annexation dates back only
one yesr. was proud OF my eOuntry's' $
independence Sud willing 70 submit 10
the mOusrehy until its abuses and
eOrruptiOus were too iutolerable TO be
borne any longer. We will seek 3
new and greater independence in the
United States, where Sll our people
will become citizens Of the republic,
where the accident OF birth will no
longer be regarded, and sll will be
EQUALS before the law. l believe that
now that there Is no more monarchy
snd no more royalty, the country is
better for it, Every boy who grows
up will feel on sn equal footing with
his neighbor- The royalists have
prophesied thzt the Queen would be
restored to her throne. The throne
was not hers. but lent her by the peo-
pie whose voice is IS the voice Of God,
ard when she violated the conditions
and abused her privileges, the people
had Su inslienAbIa right 10 take IL
away frou her zgsin- Many had
hoped thst she had learned something
from the example Of kslakaua
and believed that she should have
fair chance The Supreme Court gave
her = chance 10 choose her own Cab
met and everybody knows how she
returned the compliment in the con-
stitUCiOu which she didn't promUl-
gate While We decline 10 return in
our Steps, We must be patient and
eousIterate- The period i one Of
transition and trial, and the future
viii depend on our present conduct
With au Administration like the
present. We may o. sure that what
the Government does will De for the
best interest OF the country 81 large,
and that their efforts viii be finally
crowned with success.
