A. sANITARIUM.

DR.. Bertrand f. Burgess Has Taken
Charge of the Trousseau Prem
ises.
Under the lee OF Punchbowl hill
are located the picturesque premises
OF the late Dr. Trousseau. The son
OF famous physician, and himself a
man Of great medical merit, which
brought him both fame and fortune,
he began many years ago to erect
homestead for his leisure hours.
His love Of the beautiful caused
him to build most picturesquely aud
substantially; the hours of pleasure
spent iu travel through continental
Europe were reproduced in his Fla
waiian establishment, which has
always afforded visitors to Honolulu
most pleasing "reminiscences Of the
beautiful
But the good old doctor is dead.
and his Lares and Penates have
passed into other hands. His home
of pleasure is partially now, and
after January next, will be practic.
ally, devoted to tho cause of health.
1t is especially we'll adopted by it's
locality, construction and surround
ings for first class Sanitarium.
A man of experience in this es-
pecial line has been found in DR..
Bertrand f. Burgess, Physician
and Surgeon, whose diploma from
one OF the leading California Medi.
cal Institutions hangs on his Office
wall He is a sou OF our esteemed
townsman, N. F. Burgess, and has
had several years experience in the
leading Sanitariums OF California
and elsewhere, but more especially
at Lytton Springs, st. Helen's, Ala
media and Oakland.
He has thoroughly mastered all
the details of both the Hy dropathic
and Allopsthic treatment of in
valids, as developed by modern
medical science Although he can
not boast that he has, as yet, dis
covered the famous fountain of
youth, he has gone SO far as to be
enabled TO almost rejuvenate the
weary sick aud TO take from the
wrinkles of age the burrows OF care.
The rooms have been tastefully
and conveniently arranged for the
treatment, comfort and convenience
of the invalid guests. The ladies'
departments are absolutely separate
from those of the gentlemen, and
both 20 arranged that the strictest
privacy, and the most confidential
conditions attained.
1t is not deemed necessary at the
present to enter into detailed or
technical account Of the treatment
to be accorded to patients. 1t may
be briefly described as rebuilding,
renovation and restoration of con-
stitutons in want of repair by stimu-
lating and tonical methods; among
the principal of which are massage
OF many varieties, the Swedish treat
ment, Salt CLOVIS, Vinegar and AL
coholic sponges, fermentation, vapor,
antiseptic and other kinds OF baths,
electricity and magnetism in their
most scientific developments.
The ladies' department will be in
the immediate charge of Mrs. DR..
Burgess who is now finishing a
special course of some years training
in the States, while that OF the gen
tlemen will be assisted by Mr.. D. V.
Couners gentlemen of eight years
practical experience in the best
Sanitariums of the Coast A num-
Der Of other capable assistants have
also been procured. The Institution
will probably be in active operation
by January LIST.

pie of this land to assume, without
popular vote, to cede the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States OF Am
erica, irrespective Of the will and
consent of the Hawaiian people, it
would be necessary for majority oil
the Hawaiian people to have com
mitted some great national crime;
and that they have not done.
In regard to that it is said in Of
feet, that the Hawaiian people are
not capable of properly governing
the country. The Hawaiian people
are under hereditary embarrass-
ments, for which, according to GER
tain conditions, they are not re-
sponsible; and for which, the for
eigner who chooses to live in this
land ought to remember that char
ity and patience according to truth
and justice is required
1t ought not to have been the case
that the American missionaries came
to the land OF the Hawaiians to ex-
pand, and for their children TO unite
with others in politically taking
their country from them. The
thought is painful to contemplate.
They came to give them the sacred
truth OF God; and according to this
the Hawaiian people received them
in good faith. The Hawaiian peo-
pie have received the American peo-
pie friendly; and they have not done
insuperable wrong either to them
or to the Government OF the United
States OF America.
The members of the Senate and
OF the House of Representatives of
this Government who passed the
joint resolution approved by the
President on May q, 1896, "that the
Legislature of ths Republic of Ha-
waii continues to be, as heretofore,
firmly and steadfastly in favor Of
the annexation OF the Hawaiian ISL
ands to the United States of Am
erica" were elected only by those
who would swear allegiance to this
Government. To swear allegiance
to this Government with many Ha-
waiian patriots is SO Inconsistent, so
painful to them, that they have re-
Trained from doing SO, and conse.
!quently they have not voted.
The case Of annexation under
these circumstances appea rs to be a
deplorable misadventure.

TRUE WORDS.

We publish below few words
from "true missionary son." which
should receive the careful considera-
ton OF everyone who have rushed
into the annexation mire through
the misrepresentation of the hired
annexation boomers, and, to GER
tain extent, through the jingoism of
clique of adventures, who have
everything to gain and nothing to
lose. 1t is gratifying to learn that
there is cone" son of a missionary
at least who has the honesty to her
aid the fact that tho Hawaiians have
right to exist and to be considered
in regard to the future destiny Of
the country.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

The following editorialette from
the San Francisco Illustrated World
may be OF interest to the various
committees Of the Annexation Club
during their Campaign of Educa-
ton" The INDEPENDENT has plenty
Of ammunition to assist in loading
the enemies guns:
The latest advice from Washing
ton, regarding the annexation OF the
Hawaiian Islands, would lead one
to believe that such proposition
was at last receiving at least serious
consideration, when IN all truth it is
practically an impossibility. The lie
and prosperity of the Hawaiian ISL
ands is solely dependent on their
pauper labor,a system that is clearly
in opposition to the Constitution OF
the United States and Japan, with her
thousands of subjects under such a
contract will raise strenuous objec-
tions to any power intervening and
thereby stultifying them. With
pauper labor we can't accept the
islands; without it, the islands would
be unproductive and virtually dead.
The Hawaiian Standard was
manufactured by one of the men on
FL. BINS. Talbot (Capt. Sir Thomas
Thompson) and was hoisted for the
frat time on the opening of the
Legislature, Tuesday, May 20, 1916.
Long may it float over free, united
and independent country, in spite
OF those who having stolen the
country now are striving to con-
summate the theft by bartering it
off to an alien nation that partci-
pated in the treacherous crime. A
rotten foundation makes an insecure
building whether its construction
be Of gold or mud

The Subject of the Time According

1t is manifest that one principal
indirect cause of the revolution of
January, 1898, had relation to the
results of the revolution of 1887;
which, under certain conditions,
gave electoral franchise to Euro
peans and Americans, by only swear
ing to support the constitution then
established, and without becoming
naturalized denizens OF this coun-
try. This was inconsistent with the
international laws Of all civilized
nations. And it has been grievous
to the Hawaiian people. II it had
not, they would not be like intelli-
gent and responsible beings.
In the disordered state in the
Government in 1887, and in 1893, it
would have been the duty of the re-
formers only to have compelled the
reigning soyereigns of those times,
respectively 10 rectify (by the neces-
sity OF the case) those things which
needed to be rectified, and to render
acceptable assurance for the future;
without enacting, and doing, such
things as to sorely grieve the Ha-
waiian people. la the latter case
especially they went farther than
the Supreme Government OF the
Universe will allow. For a just and
right cause for portion Of the peo-
