TO REST
Nawahi Goes Home and Leaves a
Lesson for Those Who Can Read

Lesson Tor Those VINO Gan Read
When the women OF a country
pay respect to a patriot, one OF
few as he may have been, note of
warning is sounded which ought to
be heard by the governors Of the
land. The words and rythm OF
song have more than once over
thrown thrones and republics, and
the cool courage OF women who, in
modern times while clamoring for
votes across the sea do not vote but
control the votes OF their friends,
are not to DO ignored.
The funeral procession to-day of
the ex-Minister proved that as a
Hawaiian he was not forgotten. He
represented principle existent in
the hearts Of Hawaiians, and espec-
ally of womanhood. The mothers
reared us aud will protect the
autonomy Of the country. When
they speak the word the men will
follow. Tho men Of other nation
alities, who joined with them, will
some day speak very decidedly at
the ballot box.
There ives no necessity for Minis
ter Hatch to suggest to the Govern
ment that there might be an up
rising or for the keeping of prison
ers in jail, for the Opposition con-
trolls the country in the interest Of
peace, and the women of Honolulu
proved the fact to-day. But, gentle
men, our temporary rulers, play fair
or beware! Read little Of history
shown to you by your grandfather,
If you had one, and reflect.

and grounds occupied by the late
