The vein of coal developed by MT. De Bardeleben at Belle Ellen, below Blocton, is 10 feet thick. This is very thick vein, as coal measures usually run. The thick ness of the vein is the unit of measures, and denotes the value of the vein. The thicker the vein the easier it is to work it, and the greater the profit.

say that we have no more interest
now in those things than we have in
Noah's Ark. Let the dead past bury
its dead, and now let us make COM
mon cause for annexation, and for a
greater Hawaii. New hopes, new in
spiratiOn and new issues are before
US. Let us show that the Republic
of Hawaii is self-respecting, and self
sustained, and that it is determined to
accomplish, and to be worthy of its
manifest destiny of becoming part
of the Great Republic.
c.. L. Hopkins was the next
speaker. He addressed the assem-
blage in Hawaiian. His remarks
were listened to with interest by
the HaWaiians present, and they
seemed to be well satisfied with
the stand taken by the speaker.
Mr.. Hopkins said in part:
You, no doubt, all look askanse at
me standing on this platform advocat-
ing annexation. / see among you
friends whom 1 worked with for the
restoration Of the monarchy. AS we
have different political views at pres
ent, 1 hope you will bear no malice
toward me, as [ assure you bear
none to those who differ from me. I
know the feeling pervading the minds
of Hawaiians who are not of the same
persuasion as myself, that the present
Government is Odious to them; and
would like to see it done away with,
if possible. Now, gentlemen, have
you never for one moment thought
that by working and assisting in the
annexation of these islands would be
the means of Kidding yourselves of
- ~, - "a -
tionable to you? Supposing there
was something unwholesome to your
sense of smell, would you allow that
putrid matter to remain? No; you
certainly would remove it by all
means; and if the present Government
is Objectionable to you, why do you
not seize the weapon or means which
will forever rid you of that which
makes your heart sore? Gentlemen,
annexation is the only weapon which
lies before you. We tried to get rid of
United States under protest; we failed
in that. We had commissioners sent
to Washington to get from the Presi-
dent an answer to the Queens protest;
we failed in that also. We sent an
other commissioner to England,
France and Germany; We also failed
in that. Aud, lastly, arms were taken
up, and that means or oVerth rowing
the Government failed also. Now,
having tried various ways of wiping
out the Government that you so de-
test, what are you going to do now?
Sit by and do nothing? 1 say no! I
say you still have another weapon
which is just as formidable as any, if
you will only look at it in a proper
light without prejudice-and that is
annexation. You no doubt would want
to hear of some of the benefits of au-
nexation. They are numerous. Un-
der it you will have the backing of a
strong, powerful government; y,u will
have an influx of capital which will
give you all employment. 1t means
that cable will be laid here, which
will be bring ships, giving employ
ment to hundreds of you who have
been accustomed to work on the
wharves. 1t means money spent in
the country by capitalists, making
