of the monarchy. Influential men,
bers Of the Democratic party, such
as Senator Morgan, arc known
to be strongly in favor of an
nexation OF the islands, and il the
unusually high. priced diplomacy
this Government sees fit to maintain
at Washington were properly di-
rected there is probability that a
combination Of members OF both
parties in the United States could
have been obtain which would
carry the initial policy of this Gov
eminent. Perhaps some effort has
been made in this direction, but if so
the mouthp'eces OF the Government
are wonderfully silent on the sub
joct. When the mass meeting OF
the other night was broached one OF
the Government organs was good
enough to condemn it in sneaking
sort Of a way as being scarcely OPP
perfume. After the event that paper,
evidently having had the riot act
read to it for its attitude on the
event, switches round to bitterly as
sail lis fellow-organ for sueering at
the mass meeting. As to some Of
the Governments chief support, it il
stated on excellent authority that
the planters on the other islands
make 10 bones about opposing an.
nexation fat. footedly. The people
at large all the same see no hope Of
stable government in anything but
annexation. They do not want an
nexstion of the Alaska kind, as dos
cribed in au official citation by a
correspondent the other day, but
they expect that the Government
shall steadfastly promote a scheme
OF union with the Great Republic,
which will give the islands home
rule as to local affairs, equal rights
to all the intelligent classes OF the
body polite, and the strong protect.
ing arm Of great nation over the
country as an integral part OF itself.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1895-04-02

II may be necessary to tell our old
friends that the BULLETIN does not
care to open its columns for any
more thrashing out OF the question
OF 1893. Yet space is found for a
correspondent who reve'ts to the
question to-day, whose reason given
privately is that Mr.. Hartwell saw
fit to open it up in his speech the
other night. There is a lesson in
this fact to which the revolutionists
OF 1898 might take heed. Ii they
wish to have the dead past buried,
they should avoid dragging the
corpse out themselves.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1895-04-02
AN MEX 4 TON

No small amount of talk is heard
these days about tho sincerity OF the
Government and powerful section
OF its original supporters ON the
question OF annexation. That was
the chief motive, next to resenting
OF the sovereign's action in spring
ing a new constitution on tho coun-
try, for the revolution Of 1893. 1t is
really necessary that the Govern
ment should occasionally give some
evidence Of good faith in the mat
ter. As straws showing how the
the wind blows there are circum-
stances occasionally cropping up
which tend to show insiucerity ON
the part Of the Government in the
matter. One OF these was the fact
OF the apparently studied attempt
to throw cold water on the recent
action OF the American League to
bring the natives into q mass meet
ing for discussion OF the subject.
The word subject il here used adj
visedly, for the matter was not left
aquestion either by the proclama-
ton Of the Provisional Government
or the Constitution OF the Re-
public proclaimed on the last
fourth Of July. Annexation was
by those documents made a
fundamental principle Of the new
regime, and not left an open ques-
ton in anywise. Now, what is the
