GROWING BOLDER.

language
In the meantime the people of Hawaii
will preserve their peaceful dignity and
await patiently the answer from Cleve
land which he must give some day.
The answer SO far given refuses to grant
the petition of the so called Provisional
Government for annexation to the
United States. That Government which,
according to its own proclamation, was
formed for the purpose of obtaining
annexation only has failed in its object
and it has neither "A moral or legal

it by his Government would be an inn

icW be found and other measures 1CW be

affairs into proper and just grooves. 1t
any trouble arises through the inactivity
or through the refusal of the United
States to do what is right, the blame
will fall on the President of that repub-
lie, and will remain there as an indel-
BILE stain on American honor.
Such threats as the HOlomNa
makes, without rebuke from the
authorities, inspire contempt for
the sedition law, alarm capital here
and abroad, support the postulate
that the Government is weak and
make the natives believe that by
standing in line for Mrs. Dominis
they may yet rid the country Of the
missionaries, whom they mis-
takenly hate. The net result is
political and commercial turmoil
and unrest.

interest Of public order, to teach

of the Dangerous Persons" Act is
required, the sooner it shall become

PUSH THINGS"

The spirit and zeal that formed
the Annexation Club should be
now embodied in the work OF
building up the Union Party which
has come to take its place. The
need of that party is so pronounced
that every AnneXationist who is
able to take part i'll poll
tics, should rally to the new
standard and perfect the organiza-
ton. As for the old club it was
simply an enrolment of loyal citi-
zens, without primary, convention
or electoral powers or machinery.
Naturally it had to be remodeled or
supplanted when the time to hold
elections should approach; and
from this need, now imminent,
the Union Party has arisen. So
far, unfortunately, the Annexation
lists have not arisen to the Union
Party in the numbers which the
cause has the right to expect. Last
nights meeting was poorly at
tended. SO in fact was the meet
ing i'll the first district; and I'M
less a better showing is made al
the meetings to come, apathy will
be likely to spread in the other
Islands. Let us hope that
on Monday night in the
two districts which will then
be organized the AnneXationists
will turn out in becoming numbers
and put their shoulders to the
wheel. The effort is worth making,
not only for the good of the COM
mon cause, but because it may soon
devolve upon the party clubs to
elect del gates to the constitutional
convention.

HENCE THESE TEARS.

The Bulletin has uncovered a
mares nest and is standing by il
with its hands raised above its
head and the whites of its eyes
showing lustrously through its
spectacles. What it has found it
calls a "rotten state of affairs. "
Upon a careful examination of
these affairs" we find them to re-
veal the fact that the principal
offices of the Government are actu-
ally held by President Dole, Min
listers King, Smith, Damon and
Hatch, Judge Cooper, l.. A.
Thurston, w. c. Wilder ct al; and
that these gentlemen are receiving
usual legal salaries, excepting the
chief Of the State who is paid about
$8S, 900 per annum less, all told,
than his predecessor got.
1t puzzles one to see where the
horror of this thing comes in.
Perhaps, however, the Bulletin has

Union Party Of the Hawaiian Islands.

For the promotion of the best inter-
ests of all the people OF the Hawaiian
Islands and the organization OF a party
having only this object in view, the fol-
lowing is adopted as declaration of the
principles upon which the organization
to be known as the "Union Party" is to
be established, and upon this platform
we invite the cooperation of every
friend OF good government.
LIST. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT
The Union party is unalterably opposed
to any form of mOnarchical Govern
ment in the Hawaiian Islands, and de-
clares its full allegiance to the Provis-
ional Government, endorsing the pro-
posal for a constitutional convention,
looking to the extension OF popular rep
resentation in the Government.
End. PoLITIcAL UNION - We declare
our leading principles to be the accom-
plishment OF political union with the
United States OF America and the main
tenance of a stable and honest Govern
ment.
3rd. PUBLIC LANDs-We favor such
legislation as will promote the occupancy
OF all public lands, including those here
tofore known as "crown lands" by
small holders, and foster the develop
ment of varied industries, believing it
to be OF vital Importance that "many
acres" should be for "many men,"
4th. CITIZENS RIGHTs-We declare
that all citizens are equal before the law
and we are opposed to monopoles or
privileged classes, favoring participation
in the government by every loyal
citizen.
9th. LABoR-We favor such legisla-
ton as will substitute American, Portu-
guese and other European immigration
for Asiatic immigration, thus securing Il
class of immigrants for labor purposes
which will ultimately be of permanent
value to the country as settlers.
9th. PUBLIC WoRKs-We favor the
immediate establishment of compre-
hensive system OF public Improvements
that shall be OF permanent value to the
country and afford needed employment
to the laboring classes, but we declare
against importation OF labor and materi-
al OF any kind whatsoever for use on
public works which can be obtained in
the home market, and materials which
must be obtained from abroad should be
obtained through local dealers in open
competition.
9TH. PUBLIC OFFICEs-We hold that
no person should occupy any position OF
trust or profit under the Government
who is not loyal to the same.
Sth. PRIsoN LABoR-We oppose the
employment OF prison labor in any
mechanical pursuits.
9th. TAX SYSTEMIC favor re-
vision of the tax system whereby all
property, improved and unimproved,
shall be taxed on an equitable basis.
