What then say the Hawaiians
about the proposition OF surrender
ing the independence of their ma
tionality to country which neither
commands or controls the respect,
love or friendship OF Hawaii nei.
Whenever annexation to the United
States is mentioned an emphatical
NO arises from the throat of every
Hawaiian man, woman and child.
The hatred towards the present re-
gime here has not abated, and many
years will pass before the intense
feeling of hatred towards the haoles
created since the treachery of 1898
will subside. Many Hawaiiars may
smile and look pleasant, through de-
sire of personal gain or through
their natural courteous instincts.
But those best acquainted with
them know that in the depth of
their hearts there is feeling which
cries for vengeance for the wrong
done to their nation by the mission
airy clique who, through their i'll
gotten lucre purchased the assist
ance to their nefarious scheme of
the corrupt Government of the
United States.

A "Cauadian" calls our attention

HAWAIIAN SENTIMENT.

The Evening Bulletin since tum-

it has straddled for the last few
years, advocates the education of
Hawaiians in regard to changing
their views towards the annexation
question.

The official organ knows enough
not to join the Anterior organ, but
although it does not damn the Ha-

Let Mr.. Anterior ignore the Ha-

them, and let the Annexation Club
continue its work in disappearing
the true sentiments OF this nation.

The ways of the Attorner- Gen
erals Department are certainly most
peculiar. There seems to be great
deal of wire pulling in the alleged
administration of justice, and it is
not difficult to find the parties who
have hold of the wires. A short
while ago the police arrested the
owners OF three billiard saloons in
this town against whom complaints
had been made for allowing on their
respective premises gambling game
known as Monte Carlo pool. The
men arrested were brought before
the District Magistrate in due course
OF time and this is how they we're
dealt with. Howe plead guilty and
sentence was suspended. Hopkins
plead guilty and was fined SIS and
costs and in the case OF Graef nolle
prosequi was entered. To the Or
binary mind such discrimination
is -unwarranted il not disgraceful,
and it is due to the community that
an explanation should be given by
the Attorney General or the Marshal.
The three men in question had con-
Quoted game which two of them
admitted was in violation Of the law.
Why, then were they treated SO diff
ferently? Even under our "best"
government it is apparent that
favoritism and discrimination are
the order of the day. There may be
reasons-good ones perhaps-why
the "Mopte Carlo" cases have been
disposed of as they have. We think
that the people are entitled to know
the reasons, il they exist.

May we humbly suggest to the
Minister of Finance that he in his
next financial report state how much
money has been paid to the Col
lector-General as salary during the
visit of that official to New Hamp-
shire farm. If the great chief of
the Custom House bureau has been
locked one or two months pay the
Minister will have done something
to uphold the title OF the chest"
