Row In the Camp.

There was quite an excitement
in the political headquarters of the
Portuguese colony this morning.
A leading Portuguese gentleman
stated that the cause Of the excite
ment was due to the fact, that two
members Of the Executive Commit
tee were trying to monkey" with
the memorial adopted at a meeting
few days ago, and which was to
be presented to Senator Morgan.
The original memorial stated that
the Portuguese colony in Hawaii
were favorable to annexation, pro-
viding that State rights were grant
ed to the islands. 1t was short,
sweet and to the point.
The two members referred to took
upon themselves to change the
wording of the memorial so as to
make it read that the Portuguese in
Hawaii are unoonditionally in favor
of annexation, and they asked the
chairman of the meeting to sign
their memorial, which he promptly
refused to do.
The Portuguese feel naturally in
dignant at this attempt to play
them trick for unknown purposes,
and it is possible that a meeting Of
the Executive Committee will be
called and the two members who
want to manufacture memorials be
severely oensured.

Morgan" as he was used as tool
and for a purpose. Nothing in this
world would tempt Senator Morgan
to walk up the aisle Of church in
Alabama arm in arm with John l..

contrary Notwithstanding. In con-
clusion, l offer in behalf of Senator
Morgan, the following prayer from
Shakespeare:
I have ventured, like little wanton
boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in sea Of glory
But far beyond my depth: my high
blown pride,
At length broke under me, and now
has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the
mercy
OF rude stream, that must for ever
hide me.

The Cuban question is still un-
solved, and, as the correspondent
said forty-three years ago, will occu-
py the attention of Congress in the
near future. Both the Hawaiian
and the Cuban questions have
assumed graver proportions as time
has passed. Both questions have
become in a sense international.
There are parties concerned in any
policy that may be adopted that
we're not considered forty-three
years ago. The problems are not
to be so hastily solved as our hot
spurs OF the Executive Building aud
the United States Legation affect to
believe.

We believe that the meeting to-
night will be attended by large
number of patriotic Hawaiians and
by their true friends, and that all
present will express their approval
OF tho memorial which will be SUBJ
mittsd to them. The enemy will
have cause this evening to call the
Hawaiians "noisy" when they with
enthusiasm born of patriotism adopt
a solemn protest againt annexation,
an appeal to the honor Of the civil
lied world for justice.

THE MASS MEETING

Our evening contemporaries were
as usual somewhat premature in
their sneering remarks in regards to
the mass meeting, which will take
place at Palace Square this evening.
The Bulletin says that "no for
eign anti -annexationists can be
found to sign the call for the mass
meeting" The organ of Mr.. ex-
royalist Gear evidently does not
consider the four gentlemen, who
have signed the call, foreigners, or
considers them of too little conse-
quence to be noticed.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-10-08

The Star continues its idiotic po-
licy Of heaping insults on the anti
anne1ationists, whom it daily terms
q "noisy clique OF roy alists." 1t pro-
phecies dismal failure of the mass
meeting, and states in advance that,
"if the meeting should prove sue
csss, it will be due to certain influ-
ences and will not show a spon.
tansous move on behalf of the Ha-
waiians."

CORRESPONDENCE.
Morgan's Rhodomontade.
courage.
Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-


Ia the speech OF Senator Morgan
where he said, "The King agreed
with our Minister here ON Treaty
of Annexation, and that treaty came
to nothing simply because Kameha-
meha III. died before he had the
opportunity to sign it" etc. that
statement is false to the core. In
1858, the missionary element were
hurled from Office and power for
gross neglect of duty and inhuman-
ity to men, women and children.
And in 1854, that class with DR..
Judd at the head, for pure revenge,
worked upon the poor King who
had become an imbeeile and sickly
to consent to give away his country
to America the land OF the free and
the home of justice in name only.
In that year there appeared in our
harbor the frigates Mississippi and
Susquehanna, both steamers, and l
think the sloop of war the Vandalia.
The two frigates had fine bands and
discoursed sweet music both aboard
and ashore for two or three months.
The citizens often wondered why
those warships laid here so long,
but one fine day the town was
aroused by hearing that General
Miller, the British Commissioner,
had dropped on to the game of DR..
Judd, and instantly went to the
King aud demanded of him the
notification of the abominable act
of annexation forthwith. When the
GAneral had explained to the King
the consequences Of the dastardly
trick being played upon him by the
willy doctor he was much impressed
with the visit of the sturdy old
General, and affsctionately embraced
him, and said, that he was very
happy to find one true, strong friend
to him aud his people. After two
or three days the ships OF the nation
that never robs the weak (only when
in fssting humor) up anchor and
left. Senator Morgan in his speech
used these words: $50 that we were
not prepared to accept Hawaii until
it became republic" You should
not easily contradict yourself, my
dear heeting Senator, was not this
| nation monarchy when, as you say,
the United States tried to annex it,
but was banked because of the
"death Of Kamehameha Ill" which
took place during the waning ol

speaking of America, "that our mo-
tives are not selfish" Is it not the
very quintessence OF selfshness and
mesnness combined, to force annex.

"HIsToRY REPEATS ITSELF"


A Washington correspondent
writing to The Friend, in 1854, said:
"The recent change in the Hawaiian
ministry clearly indicates the grow
ing desire on the part of the King
for annexation. DR.. Judd was
known to be in favor fthst project,
but Mr.. Allen, who recently assumed
DR.. Ju9d's portfolio, is more radical
ON the subject, and in favor OF
instant and perfect annexation, with
out conditions Of any sort likely to
embarrass the United States in con-
sidering the subject. So we may as
we'll get ready to admit the State OF
Hawaii, with Mr.. Allen, and perhaps
DR.. Judd, as her two United States
Senators. Mr.. Gregg, the
new Com missioner to the Sandwich
Islands, is fully informed that the
sentiments of the Administration
warmly favor annexation. That
and the Cuba question are expected
to be great topics of interest during
the next session OF Congress"

The above extract only goes to
show that Americans have never un-
derstood the feeling of native Ha-
waiians on the question of annex
alton. The two persons nominated
as Senators for the State Of Hawaii,
forty-three years ago, have been
dead several years, and annexation
is still being discussed, and the view
OF native Hawaiians still misunder-
stood by those who desire annex
