A proud smile. nearly q yard
long illuminated the face of Min
lister Hatch when he yesterday.
rose firm his seat and read to the
assembled councillors q touching
set of resolutions passed in April
last by the Senate of Iowa. e. S.
The joint resolutions which have
been approved by Governor
Jackson-whoever he may be-
read as follows and were received
by uFroarious applause of the
small prophets assembled. And
Moses struck the rock and the
following resolutions flowed:
STATE OF Iowa,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
JOINT RESOLUTION.
Whereas, The people of the
Hawaiian Islands have cast off
the fetters of an effete and dissol-
ate monarchy and have assumed
a position among the republics of
the earth; Therefore,

sembly of the State of Iowa:

two millions OF prosperous. hap
py, liberty-loving people, who

Our liberties We prize and our

HENRY STONE,
Speaker of the House.
W. S. DUNCAN,
President of the Senate.
Approved, April Oath, 1894.
SEAL. FRANK d. Jackson,
Governor of Iowa.
Of course nobody can take any
exception to this remarkable
document. 1t has evidently
pleased the wise man of Iowa,
who by the way neither know
where Hawaii is or what kind of
government we have, and it has |
been source of great satisfaction
to Dole d Co., who alas, have |
not been recognized by anybody |
else. We are surprised that little |
Hatch didn't move the hands of |
time a little ahead, and dated |
the resolutions July oath instead
of April Oath. The wise men of
Iowa wouldn't have appeared
quite as foolish as they now do
and the whole affair wouldn't
have been quite SO absurd, ridic-
nlous and impudent as it now is.
On the Oath of April, there was
40 republic in Hawaii. There is
none now. we are aware, but we
have at present at least an
apology for one. In April, we
simply had provisional govern
nent without any sembIance or
'retense of being a republic.
t the interesting farmers or
Shatever they may be, from

liberty to do So. but they should
