1t is no wonder that there is so
much dissatisfaction among the
members of the annexation club
over the proposition made to
them that they must shoulder a
gun, and fire on the American
flag. The object of the annex
alton club was to further the
scheme of annexation to the
United States, and all persons
who joined the club. understood
that such was the platform of the
organization. They were told of
the advantages to them, and to

admitted to the Union, every
thing was painted in the most
roseate colors. and America, aud

is now in order to aim and shoot

FACTS ARE STUBBORN
Mr.. Dole's Poor Memory.

Mr.. Dole in his brief to Presi
dent Cleveland has shown his
very poor memory in many in
stances, and we have several times
called attention to his mistakes
as we charitably will call them.
He has seen fit to write quite a
lengthy history-as seen through
his glasses the political sit
uation under Kalalaua. AL
though we believe all l.ferences
to that period to be perfectly
irrelevant as far as the present
question is concerned, we don't
consider it right to let some of
his statements in regard to the
Legislature of 1886 go by without
notice and correction. Mr.. Dole
attempts to create an impression
that the King through a liberal
use of gin aud brides had secured
large majority in the Legis-
lature of 1886, and that the as
sembly simply was tool of his
royal will. In 1886, the right of
voting, was nearly exclusively In
the hands of the Hawaiians
while the mobiles were appointed
by the King. Nevertheless the
the fact remains that there was
hardly any important question
before the House except the
division proved how even the
parties stood and anybody con-
versant with the business at that
session will know what a hard
time the government whips had
to gain a bare majority. Mr..
Dole who accuses the King of
corrupting the electors of the
Kingdom forgets that these very
Hawaiians, whom he today
tell US are unfit to exercise the
franchise, did elect him and
Kauhi. Cecil Brown, DR.. Wight,
j. W. Kalua. Dickey. Thurston,
Kauhane. W. r. Castle and Pae-
haole all of whom were decidedly

mobiles at that time in opposition
to the Gibson administration
were Messrs c r Bishop. J o

Where Mr.. Dole gets his large
and corrupt majority for the
King. we should Ike to know.
1t is a pity that none of the mis-
sionary sons who pretend to
write the history of Hawaii can
not tell the truth. Mr.. Dole in
his brief is a good match to ".

The annexation papers are CON
tiDually speaking about the 18th
of January as the Hawaiian
Independence" day. A more alb
surd term could hardly be used
for the day on which temporary
government was established for
the purpose of sacrificing the
independence of the country and
lmake Hawaii-nei dependency of
the United States. The excuses for
the revolt, the reasons proffered
by John l.. Stevens for meddling
with the matter, are that the
object was to annex to
tn United States, an d
thereby, eface our country from
a place among independent
nations, and at the same time
deprive a free people of self
government and civil rights. If
the day on which the era of
tyranny and an oligarchy was
initiated is to be called an indie
pendence day by men who claim
being Americans and voicing
American sentiments, the good
people should select another
name for the 4th of July and stop
calling that day, the American
Independence day.
