We have received advices by the
Coptic that the Canadian Australian
Steamship Company has withdrawn
its appeal in the Cranstouu case.
and has offered to compromise with
the Hawaiian "exiles." No sum has
yet been agreed upon but it is uu-
derstood that compromise will be
effected. The steamship company
has incurred enormous expenses in
defending it's case, and it has evil
IDENTIFY had enough of it. The mat
ter would be OF comparatively small
interest to us if it we're not for the
fact that the taxpayers OF Hawaii
have to foot the bill for costs and
damages. The blunders made by
the "best government Hawaii ever
had" are becoming costly, AS soon
as the "exiles" have received their
damages they will probably return
to Hawaii, there being no written
agreement to prevent them from
doing so, They might make it un-
comfortably hot for certain news

characters during their absence
from Hawaii.

Most creditable indeed to our lit

connected with this paper have seen

expected in this climate with hot
uniforms and perspiripg e7ening.

presented, outside OF the Citizens
Guard aud private reserve, the
brawn, brain and power Of the peo-
pie. Each company did its best and
honored itself and our country.

sus returns of Europe for the pur-
pose OF learning a few things about
centenarians. He has found, he
says, that tho German Empire, with
55,000000 population, has only rs
persons who are more than 100 years
old. France, with fewer than 49,
100000, has 2l3 citizens who have

600 inhabitants, %. Switzerland
does not boast single centenarian,
but Spain, with about 100000
population, has 40l. The most
amazing figures found by the Ger

The work OF the New England
missionaries has been a decided
failure What have they taught the
Hawaiians2 To wear pants and
collars, live in mortgaged houses
and remain poor according to DR..
Bishop, through idleness, drunkness,
gambling, etc. Verify the result is
we'll worth shouting from the house,
tops. And yet DR.. Bishop wonders
why there has been a decided de-
cline in the contributions to Home
and Foreign Missions in the United
States. The fact is that the "mis-
sionares" have been found out, and
that the people OF the United States
have tired of feeding and fattening
a lot Of land grabbing missionaries
who instead of carrying the banner
of Christ travel around with blank
mortgages, essence of bigotry, and
the gift OF serving discomfort, dis
satisfaction and unbappiness where
ever they go.

Ed. The lNDEPENDENT:-
From Email editorial in the Adj
vertiser Of August "a, manufactured
in its usual swirl of deception, |
quote the following: "The greeting
given Mr.. Dole shows clearly what
miserable Misrepresentation form
the basis of the dyspeptic howls of
the small coterie who are given the
dignified title OF the opposition"
We fully understand, Mr.. Advertiser
man, that your poky concern you
call government was born in lies
and deception, and its nurses are
absolutely forced to stuff the abor-
ton with that quality OF food in or
der to keep them in existence. But
with all its nursing-peculiar signs
point in the direction-that "cold
frost" has alredy struck the doleful
chicken under the fifth rib. We
understand that the Hon. j. w. Ka-
lua was one of the chief entertainers
of Mr.. Dole. Well, we'll The old
adage that "birds of feather will
flock together" appears to be true
after all. Will the Advertiser please
give the true characteristics OF the
Hon. j. w. Kalua2 And while the
Advertiser is about it, will it please
state to the dear public why and
wherefore was it, that Mr.. Kalua
was forced to leave the legislative
hall in hurry during the sitting
of the last Legislature under the
monarchy, aud fled to Lahaina by
the first boat? But then, what would
be the use, when the Advertiser
seems to think that Mr.. Kalua is
good enough for Mr.. Dole2
Now then, dear reader, the Adver-
tiser would wish the people to be-
lieve that all this gathering Gas it
says) of 800 or 1000 people vas to
honor Mr.. Dole while verybody else
knows the opposite to be the fact.
In order to prove it, we will wager
that if the "Hon. H. p. Baldwin"
will give luau in honor of plain
prosecuted Liliuokalani, "the beauti-
full amphitheatre shaded by tall
mango and avocado pear trees"
would be out OF sight, for the crowd
that would be there to do honor to
the ex-Queen. She would require
no pleading, begging and "oh! do
come now," etc, as her reception,
would be spontaneous outburst
straight from the heart. In fact the
ex-Queen could dispense with those

For the accomplishment OF these
enriching results, it has proved an
unavoidable necessity for the for
eigner to take into his own control
the government OF the country, The
native Hawaiian is as incompetent
to administer government over all
this immense enterprise and COM
merce, as he is to conduct first
class sugar plantation. The whole
concern is like great steamship,
which he is incapable Of command
ing or navigating, but in which he
is welcome as passenger, and may

Now, let us ask DR.. Bishop, how
ha found the natives sixty years ago
when he romped around among
them on the lAuds which the mis-
sionaries "created" for themselves.
Were they. not happy, easy going
and conlented? L. is true, they
went about naked, but it is hardly
possible that they missed the COM
fort Of the civilization in the shape
of high collars and pants, The mis-
sionares took them in hand-and
their lands. The natives got the
stiff collar and pants, but was he any
the happier2 He was taught to live
in white cottages as rule to sleep
under the house or in his old grass
hut-did it make it make him more
contented7 He is now told after 70
years OF the misi naries' labors that
he is poor because he drinks, gam
bles, etc,, etc. What then in heavens
name have the missionaries done
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-09-04

The editor also states that when
he was a child sixty years ago the
natives went around in n,alos and
lived in grass houses. That con.
siderable number OF them now earn
from two to three dollars a day, but
that there yet is great deal Of
poverty arising from idleness, drunk
enness, and gambling. He. admits
that in comparison with the
average white man the native is
poor, but that compared with other
Polynesians he enjoys superior
prosperity.
