must be the final outcome. Salts
fed with the constitutional guar
antees, the party of liberty
was then, as it always has been,
the party of peace and order. The
revolution came because the woman
who was on the throne adopted the
traditions of absolutism, put her
will against the people, and set
herself to appropriate the gains
of forty years. Then the
revolution taught her, or would
have taught her if she could have
learned, that freedom was en-
trenched in power, and that the
children of liberty in the Western
nations were not to be driven from
their furthest outpost.
If we have not misread the
meaning Of Hawaiian history, there
is reason to look back with high
satisfaction upon the year which
is now fastening to its close. 1t
has brought US great trials, but
greater triumphs. 1t has termin-
ated forever the reign of heathen-
ism. 1t has abolished personal
government and put a final period
to usurpation.
Can we reasonably ask that a
single year shall bring us more ?
There is enough for deep rejoicing,
for earnest thankfulness, for high
hope. There is enough to make
merry Christmas, and the conf
dent anticipation of happy New
YEAR.

When there is pestilence in the

What more appropriate signal of

the Holomua.

BLOUNT AGAIN.
Wilson Gives one of Stevens
Alleged InsuItine Speeches.

A leading objection of the royal
lists to Mr.. Stevens is the allegation
that he used to give the ex.queen
unwelcome advice, insult her,
trample on her feelings, etc. C. B.
Wilson furnishes long story TO
Mr.. Blount, doubtless written for
him by some of his numerous crea-
lures, which contains one of these
alleged insulting speeches of the
American Minister. Here it is:
MADAM: 1t is my official duty to
offer to Your Majesty congratulations
cordance with the provisions of the
Constitution of your Kingdom. Turn
ing from the funeral scenes through
which we have just passed, [ address
Your Majesty words of hope as to the
future of your reign. Standing on the
border-land of death and the future
world, of which we have been so
solemnly reminded by what has Just
transpired in our midst, and reverent
towards the Supreme God, to whom
all are accountable, the Minister of
the United States expresses his earn
est qualification that Your Majesty
has taken the firm resolution to aid in
making your REGINA strictly constitu-
tional reign, to maintain the constitu-
tional right of your Ministers to ad-
minister the laws, and always to
acknowledge their responsibility to
the Legislature in the performance of
their sworn obligations. In the wish
thus to respect the supreme authority
Of the Constitution an ! the laws, Your
Majesty places yourself in the exalted
rank of the best sovereigns of the
world, and thus will avoid those en-
barrassments and perplexities which
have so often disturbed the peace and
crippled the prosperity of countries
not blessed with free and enlightened
constitutions. 1t is my earnest prayer
that Your Majesty may be able to
carry out your noble resolution, and
thus have full time and opportunity
to discharge the duties which Your
Majesty justly regards necessary to
the success Of your reign and beneti-
cial to your whole people. In endea-
voring to make good these auspicious
promises, Your Majesty will have the
full sympathy and the good wishes of
the Government which 1 have the
honor to represent at this capital.

THE LATEST.

The Oceanic arrived at Z o'clock
last night, with four days later
news from the Coast. The intel
ligence is very interesting, and will
be found in full in our news COL
umns. The only action which has
been taken by either branch of
Congress in the Hawaiian matter
is the adoption by the Senate of a
resolution of Senator Morgan's,
authorizing the Committee of Fo--
eigH Relations to send for papers
and witnesses and to administer
oaths, with view to determining
whether any and if so what irregu-
larities have occurred in the dip
lomatic or other intercourse be-
tween the United States and
Hawaii, in relation to the recent
political revolution" The purpose
Of this resolution, as explained by
Morgan, was "to have a settlement
Of the charges made against this
and the former Administration"
In the House a number of fiery
resolutions have been introduced,
and speeches of a corresponding
temper made, but nothing has been
done. The majority of the Foreign
Relations Committee has reported
q resolution condemning the al
legged interference of the Republi-
can Administration in Hawaiian
affairs. On this resolution no ac-
ton has been taken and nothing
further viii probably be done by
either House until after the re-as-
sembling of Congress, on Janu-
ary ID.
The full text of all these reso-
lutions is published elsewhere.

LIBERTY vs.. SEDITION.

Every government which seeks
to promote the true welfare of the
people to which it is responsible en-
courages full and free discussion
of public questions in the press.
The Provisional Government is no
exception to this rule, and has at
all times allowed, and even encour-
aged, the greatest latitude in this
regard. There is radical distinc-
ton, however, between a right and
the abuse of it, a distinction which
the disloyal press of this city, more
particularly the Holomua, wilfully
confounds.
The liberty of public discussion
is properly confined to the consider
alton of matters which are consist
ent with loyalty to the existing
Government. If it is desired to
change any provision in the statute
or organic law of nation, or to
alter the form of its government, or
radically to modify its social insti-
tutions, the agitation in favor of
such changes must be temperate
and peaceful, and the mode
of procedure recommended must
be in harmony with existing
law. Discussion which goes be-
yond the limit thus set, is sedi-
tious, unlawful and revolutionary,
and is SO recognized and SO treated
by all civilized governments
throughout the world.
We have stated these elemen-
tary principles of law not because
any rational man doubts them,
but to dispose of the pretence that |
the Government in sealing up the
seditious mouth of the Holomua
would be interfering with the free |
dom of the press. There is a
statute against seditious publica-
tions. 1t is there to be enforced |
not to be made a target for trait.
ors. The honor of the Govern
ment, its interest and its self
respect, all demand that the laws
against sedition be carried out.
There is no reason why political
should enjoy an impun
ity which is denied to the criminal
classes generally. Let there be
one law for all, and one impartial
execution of it.

There are good friends of Hawaii

The Secretary is much worried
especially as he has been courting
public fayor-looking to the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination in 1876.
Now the bucket is upset. Poor Gre
sham
The same writer, referring to the
correspondence laid before the
Senate, gays: q see no arguments
which the press have not hereto

on to say that the matter will be
referred to the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, with Senator
Morgan at the head-where it will
be quickly disposed of.

a PSALM FOR NEW YEARS
Eve.

A friend stands at the door;
In either tight-closed hand
Hiding rich gifts three hundred and
threescOre;
Waiting to strew them daily DER the
land
Even as seed the sower.
Each drops he, treads it in, and passes
by:
1t cannot be made fruitful till it die.
o good New Year, we clasp
This warm shut hand of thine.
Loosing forever, with half sigh, half
gasp,
That which from ours falls like dead
fingers twine:
Ay, whether fierce its grasp
Has been, or gentle, having been, we
That it was blessed: let the Old Year
go.
o New Year, teach us faith.
The road of life is hard:
When our feet bleed, and scourging
winds us seattle,
Point thou to Him whose visage was
more marred
Than any mans; who saith,
Make straight paths for your feet,n
and to the opprest,
Come ye to Me, and 1 will give you
rest"
Yet hang some lamp-like hope
Above this unknown way,
Kind year, to give our spirits freer
scope
And our hands strength to work while
it is day.
But if that way must slope
Tombward, oh, bring before our fading
eyes
The lamp of life, the Hope that never
dies.
Comfort our souls with love-
Love of all human kind;
Love special, close,-in which, like
sheltered dove,
Each weary heart its own safe nest
may find;
And love that turns above
Adoringly, contented to resign
All loves, if need be, for the Love
Divine.
Friend, come thou like a friend,
And whether bright thy face,
Or dim with clouds we cannot conf
prehend,
Well hold out patient hands, each in
his place,
And trust thee to the end,
Knowing thou leadest onwards to
those spheres
Where there are neither days, nor
months nor years.

SHALL THE UNITED STATES
ANNEX THE SANDWICH
ISLANDS.

| CONDENSED for The J. farary Digest from a
Paper in Our Day, -! m, November.)
The Sandwich Isla Is are knock
ing at the door of ur republic.
What position are We to take con-
cerning the proposal that Hawaii
become State of the American
Union ?
My first proposition on this vex-
ed matter of the proposed annexa-
tion of Hawaii is, that there are
three great tasks before the Amer
lean republic, to be performed
largely in the Pacific ocean:
1. The opening of vast and
peaceful commerce with the Orient
and Australasia.
2. The protection of our Pacific
frontier, not only along the line
between Alaska and California,
but as far south, at least, as the
isthmus.
8. A large task, that, | think,
Providence calls on US to assist
England, and other Powers, in per-
forming in the Pacific ocean, is the
abolition of the slave-trade.
How are Americans to peform
these three great tasks without
some standing-ground in the Pa
cific? Is not Providence possibly
calling US to acquire not merely a
coaling-station in the Pacific, but
station for the diffusion of real civ
ilization?
My next proposition is, that we
need the Sandwich Islands for mil
itary influence in case of war with
any of the great powers of the
world, especially England. 1t is
important that Americans should /.
notice that we are very nearly sur /
rounded by a Gordon of British I
fortresses. Yonder, at Halifax, the .
bronze lips of British cannon touch |
the sea, end further south at Bermu
da. You know the power of Great /
Britain III the West Indies, and she .
likes to maintain all the authority
she can over Central America. She !
has Australasia, just out of sight .
over the watery shoulder of the /
word, toward the Southern Cross
and Esquimault, on Vancouver ISL /
and, is one of the most powerful /
naval ports on the globe. There /
are, then, important military rea-
sons for the annexation of the
Sandwich Islands.
But, in the next place, allow me
to say that the Sandwich Islands |
lie as far south as the West Indies. |
The annexation of these islands |
would add to the complications of
our race problems. Who are to
vote there ? Is it safe for US to
annex new State in the tropics ?
You cannot make two laws, one for
the dark race of the Southern
States, and another for the dark .
race of the Pacific. You will, first |
or last, be obliged to have one rule /
for your entire territory. l am in
favor of standing by the Constitu-
ton. Let US have one law for all |
colors. If you wish to disfranchise
the blacks because they cannot
read, disfranchise the whites for
the same reason. If you wish TO
let a State deny the suffrage to the
blacks, for any reason whatever,
then insist that, for the same rea-
son, the whites shall be denied the
suffrage.

The LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.

One of the best and most useful
gifts that can be made to a friend
is a membership card in the Homo
lulu Library Association. The
privileges of its reading room and
Its collection of 10000 books are
offered for only six dollars a year.
The Library Committee will order
by every intermediate steamer, that
is, every four weeks, supply of re-
cent publications, fresh reading
matter. ANY member Of the Agso-
citation has the privilege Of asking
the purchase Of any book wanted.
Miss Burbank, the Librarian and
Treasurer, will be only too happy
TO receive any money, and to assist
in making the freest and best use
of the privileges of the Library. If
SIX dollars may seem to any too
large a sum, the fee for three
months use of the Library and
Reading Room is only one dollar
and half.

Apart from this episode of retro
gression, the history of Hawaii has
been one unbroken march towards
political liberty-a march aided
and advanced by the Kamehame-
has, resisted, thwarted and hated
by Kalakaua and Liliuokalani.
Each new constitution has marked
a new step forward ; each was the
logical continuation of the historic
process. Those who have shared
in these movements are the makers
of history; those who have resisted
them are in one sense also the
makers of history, but they make
it by marring it.
We stand nov upon the verge of
the final consummation of this long
historic process. 1910, 1852, 1857
they are all historic years, but
1898 is the crown and sum of all,
the fruit of a long ripeniDg. The
revolution of last January came
unexpected and unsought. No one
had even dreamed of forcibly anti

RETROSPECT.

Il
of their business year they take an
account of stock. 1t is a sensible
thing for a people from time to
time to take an account of its stock,
to measure the losses and count the
gains, and draw the balance for the
year. Never before perhaps in the
history of Hawaii has it been of
more interest to turn to the past,
examine its work, and learn where
we stand.
Almost three-quarters of CEN
tury have passed since the first
band of missionaries came to an
chor on these shores. These years,
which constitute the whole span of
an individual life, are but frag-
ment in the larger life of a nation.
Yet in Hawaii, they have witnessed
great changes, as great perhaps as
ever took place in any similar time.
The work that our fathers found
to do practically included all that
is comprehended in civilization. 1t
was their task, not merely to sub
stitute an enlightened faith for
heather superstition, but to organ
ize society, to establish govern
ment and law, to abolish feudal
tenures, to create and maintain a
system of private rights, and ulti-
mately to secure the full enjoy
ment of political liberty.
Under ordinary conditions ma
tions grow from within, and the
civilization which they gain is the
work of their own hands. 1t was
otherwise in Hawaii. The white
man brought with him a COM
pleted system of institutions
which were adapted, as well
as might be, to new conditions. In
this work of adaptation, it is need
less to say that some mistakes have
been made. The end, however, has
remained constantly the same, and
the years, as We look back on them,
indicate a steady advance. Schools
were established, a government |
formed, retainers freed from the |
burdens of feudal servitude and
a land and property system de-
vised which recognized the claims
of the common people. On the basis
of the existing relations between
king and chiefs, the first compara-
lively crude constitution, that of |
1910, was erected. This was fol-
lowed by the constitution of Kane
hameha III. in 1852, and it is
practically in this year that fully
government on modern
lines and in accordance with the
usage and precedents Of civilized
nations was established. The con-
stitution of 1852 was more liberal
than that of 1910, as that of 1887
was in its turn an advance on the
of 1852. The progress
IF political development for the
half century which has elapsed
since 1910, has been one of steady
advance in the rights of the indi-
7idual, first in the sphere Of pri-
7ate law, and then in public law.
The constitution of 1910 admit
ed the subject to a share in the
government, which was enlarged in
1852, and again in 1887. The only
,reak in the steady move forward
;ame with the constitution of Ka- I
nehameha ", which was objection
ible not SO much because it abridg-
ID the rights granted in 1852, for it
lid not do so to any considerable
extent, but because it was a re-
lcton, and re-affirmation of the
of personal government.
