HEARD TRUE DOCTRINE. |
1T WAS PREACHED AT AMERICAS
LEAGUE HALL LAST NIGHT.
Solid Annexation Taik-The Union Must
Come Clear Views of Staunch
Advocates.

The audience was hardly as large
as it might have been at the open
meeting of the American League
Friday evening. The addresses
were good and to the point. The
first speaker introduced was Judge
Hartwell. He treated the subject
OF annexation, the advantages of it
to America and to Hawaii. His
opinion was that the annexationists
should labor with both political
parties in America. Judge Hart
wells argument was clear and able.
He reviewed the objections preva-
lent and fully answered all of them.
Senator Cecil Brown was next
introduced. Within the two years
last gone by he had reached the
conclusion that the destiny of Ha-
waii is to become a part Of the
great country across the sea.
This is my country" said Mr..
Brown, and l am working in its
behalf. The time is not far when
these fair isles will be a part of the
greatest country on earth. You
may think that a strange express
sion for a man with a good deal of
British blood i'll his veins. But the
thing to do, gentlemen, is that
thing designed to prove most bene-
fetal to the country. The natives
must be led. They must be led for
the country's good and for them
selves. The natives should be led
to say what should be done and
should not be done, intelligcntly.
We should camp with both par
ties i'll America. Make both our
friends. Leaders in Honolulu in
former years could not see the pol
icies, the course to be pursued for
the greatest Ultimate results to the
of this country. This
caused the climax January II,
1898.
Mr.. c. L. Carters subject was
Matrimony" between the United
States and Hawaii). Mr.. Garter
advocated two kinds of political
work at the present time. The
first was "Americanizing Hawaii,
often referred to before, and the
second "Hawaiianizing America. "
We could not have too many
friends i'll America. We have
a number, but there are
many millions yet unreached.
Our question here is made up of 50
many little details that it must
eventually unite every element
more solidly than ever before in
Hawaii.
DR.. J. +. McGrew was called
upon. He did not expect to speak.
DR.. McGrew wished to express a
change of opinion with regard to
one Of tue speakers. He referred
to Senator Cecil Brown. Some
years ago he and Mr.. Brown had
ha4 controversies. Since hearing
him at this time, however, he felt
like taking Mr.. Browns hand. The
Republic of Hawaii was a good
one, but he would like to swap it
off with Uncle Sam.
Senator McCandless made few
remarks bearing upon the same
topic. This speaker confidently
expected the glorious day. He
said the Britishers here were a
close second to the Americans for
annexation. The Senator spoke of
the tribute paid by the conspirators
to the American League when they
expressed fear of it.
Senator John N. Wright believed
that before Mr.. Cleveland retires
from Office he will stick feather
In his cap. Not to say that he
has done anything specially mean"
said Mr.. Wright, but he has acted
very curiously." Mr.. Wright spoke
in glowing terms of the opportuni-
ties in Hawaii for men who would
undertake cane, coffee or fruit cul
ture.
MIR. Wright was followed by
Mr.. Brennan who spoke for about
ten minutes on the status of the
question Of annexation in the
United States, with personal obser-
vations. From this he switched to
the subject Of the large number OF
laboring men now coming to this
country expecting to find employ
ment. The tide should be checked,
as the work was not here. Mr..
Brennan offered resolutions favor
ing the forwarding of statement
to the United States. The resolu-
tons will be acted upon at the next
League meeting.
President Murray announced that
there would be a series of open
