The Star is continuing its agita,
tion in favor Of an Importation of
Armeniaps to these islands as plapta-
tion laborers, and it calls the oppo-
sition TO such a scheme "senseless."
Our contemporary claims that it
"has led off in this movement at the
suggestion of some OF the most valu-
able and preventative citizens of
the islands," The Star refers to
"organs" of the Asiatic immigration
companies while it apparently places
itself as the "organ" OF an Armenian
immigration syndicate. If the Star
would tell the public who "the most
valuable and representative citizens"
favoring Armenian Immigration are,
we would surely see the niger in
the fence. Hawaii has had trouble
with contract laborers from Norway,
Germany, Portugal, China aud
Japan. Are these any reasons why
the same troubles would not bs re-
peated if an Armenian contingency
were added to our heterogeneous
population? The Armenians are OF
no earthly use in their own home.
For political reasons a sentiment in
favor of them has been created
which SO far has been frustrated by
common sense. We doubt that Mr..
Dole and his bosses, the planters,
can safely undert AXE an Armenian
question in Hawaii The INDEpEN-
DENT yet uphoIds its policy in regard
to the labor questions; the main
point Of which is that there, accord
ing to official figures, are sufficient
laborers here to do the work neces.
sary, The planters may have to
pay higher wages and get smaller
dividends than in the past. Are not
the laboring classes to be consider
ed occasionally?

fex-Secretary Foster would have
the true story of how the Stevens
Wilize military oligarchy was hatch.
ed and nursed in this country (the
most dastardly and cowardly act
ever perpetrsted against weak aud
coufding nation), he will have to go
outside OF the small clique that rule
this country at the point OF the
bayonet to get at the facts. 1t will
not be advisable for Mr.. Foster to
unwarily listen to the guilty com
panions of Stevens in the crime Of
rohbipg their old benefactors (the
Hawaiians} of their all, and cry for
annexation in order to get two cents
bounty on sugar. Mr.. Foster, il he
wishes for it, will find that the ruling
clique here don't want annexation.
What at heart they really desire
is a protectorate from Uncle Sam
against the people they have ROBBIE l.,
that they may lay back in security
and grow rich through Asiatic
coolie labor at twelve dollars a
month, and find themselves, which
they are now doing.
Perhaps Mr.. Foster will ask why
it is that small clique of three or
four hundred can hold the greater
majority in subjection, l will in
form the gentleman. Iu the neigh
borhood OF two months after the
robbery OF Stevens and his gang, an
honest American, Commissioner
Blount, was sent hero by President
Cleveland to examine and report the
true state of affairs in Ha waii, which
he did in straightforward manly
manner. But through a pack Of
missionary liss and the everlasting
disgrace OF rotten United States
sugar trust Senate, Hawaii was
sacrificed and the robbers exoner-
ated.
After Commissioner Blount left
these shores for America, the Ha-
waiians and their friends had such
an implicit confidence in the in
tegrity OF the United States Govern
meat, that she would restore the
status quo as Stevens found it, that
they waited aud waited, until at last
they fouud that America, the boast
ed home of The brave and the free,
had disgracefully dishonored her
sclf, bringing the blush Of shame to
every true American.
Mr.. Foster can now see that in
the long interval between the leav-
ing OF Mr.. Blount and the meeting
Of Congress, the wolves of Stevens
lost no time 10 enlisting aud arming
heterogeneous mass of men with a
large portion of spies and sneaks,
besides disenfrauchising he people;
thus bringing the nation on the
verge OF bankruptcy.
And now, Mr. Foster, all these evils
have come upon Hawaii through
placing too much confidence in the
integrity Of America. Without that
confidence, this clique would never
have had the change to arm as they

Mr.. Crawford and his associates have
been very eager to get hold Of the prop

anxious to hold the property. But he
was forced to do so by reason of a con-
tract which he had signed three months
ago. before il was known what rich ore
the mime contained. In days Of advers-

option will expire at midnight on the

matters necessary 10 make them legal

wishes of Mr.. Blake. as he hoped that
he would again come into possession of
the property, and on Saturday last he
informed a close friend of his residing
in Denver that If they (meaning the
New York parties) failed to purchase
the Belle Champion before January /. il
