They have taken everything from
the Hawaiian and finally they pre-
tend that they desire TO deprive him
OF his country and nationality. We
don't believe that they mean il,
though. Under present conditions
the alleged annexationists have too
soft a snap to wish for change.
Let the Asiatics overrun the coun-
try, drive the whites out of the ISL
ands and the kanakas to the wall as
long as the dividends go on. The
annexation scarecrow is the protec-
tion OF these men, who use it when
ever they get scared, but who sim
cerely hope it never will come as
long as Asiatic labor is cheap and
plentiful, and the ships of the white
squadron are in the harbor

are al liberty on parole. In case OF
which Mr.. Dole's or
gans believe will occur by Christmas
it would not look we'll to present
the United States with a batch of
political prisoners In addition to
our japanese indemnity claim, the
claims for false imprisonment, our
lepers and Asiatics and mission
aries" the political prisoners may
make the Hawaiian Christmas box
too "rich" to be gladly accepted by
Uncle Sam.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-12-15

The inconsistency of the annexa-
tion howlers is good evidence OF
their insincerity. When we see men
who advocate annexation having
their rich homes built by long-tailed
Chinese so-called carpenters, while
the foreign aud Hawaiian mechanics
are starving, we take very little stock
in their profession OF an annexation
policy. We witnessed this morning
the building of large dwelling
house at Makiki by Chinese carpen-
ters Not white man or Hawai-
ian was employed al the work. And
mark WE'LL the building is not being
erected for = Chinese, who naturally
would employ his own oountrymen,
The owner OF the place, we are
sorry to say, was q white man, a
man Wbo has made his "pile" here
and is reputed to be worth several
hund red thousands of dollars made
out OF the islands, and more especi
ally through the Hawaiiaus To
save a few paltry dollars this "an
nexstionist" gives the contract of
building his home to Chinese. Our
friends, the workingmen in the
United States, must feel very enthu-
siastic over the prospect OF annex
ing country at the request of men
like Mr.. Halstead, the gentleman
who is having his house erected by
Chinese coolies.

A contemporary suggests that the
Government should follow the Am

to deserving prisoners on Christmas

hope that the Executive will make
up its mind finally to grant free

prisoners who yet have sentences

sortm.nt are always welcomed
by the "fellows'' who shave
their "mugs." The gourmets
will be happy if presented
with Il silver palted soup tu-

TOPICS oF The DAY,

The crusade against the sight
destroying primary school building
at the High School goes on. We re-
peat former suggestion that The
parents Of the children freqnenting
the school should enter a strong
protest against the further use of
the building. Should the Board Of
Education in its arrogance refuse to
take notice of such protest, it will
be proper to withdraw all the chill
dren from the school. No sensible
parents should allow the eyesights
Of their children to be trifed with
or neglected. 1t is only too easy to
injure the sight Of the young and it
is impossible to recover the injury
done.

system which is contrary to the
Constitution Of the United States.
Nearly 800 permits were issued a
few days ago to planters who desire
more Japanese contract lahorers,
and while they all howl for an
nexation as protection against
the influx of the Japanese who
they credit with sinister motives
the gates are constantly being open
ed for further importation.

But what do the planters care for
Hawaii Most OF them are now
living abroad and as long as their
enormous dividends are paid regular
ly, they do not care fig whether
their plantations are worked by
baboons or by human beings. As
long as they have sufficient wealth
to keep up their mansions at "Adams
Point" or at Paris, Liverpool, Bre-
men or Wiesbaden the Hawaiians
and the people who live here can go
to the "demnation bow. vows" for
all they care. Annexation, however,
might bring an unpleasant change.
Contract labor would be abolished
and "cheap" labor would be dream
of the past and with that would dis
appear the fabulous dividends now
gathered in through the sweat Of
the Asatic coolies. With the big
dividends would disappear the
mansions at Adams Point, and the
bloated sugar barons who landed
here as paupers would find their
way back to Hawaii where they
would have to face the music Of a
justly indignant people who too
patiently had allowed the juice of
their country to be squeezed by q
grasping clique until the peel only
remained for the people.

Annexation is not wanted by Dole
& Co. They have to keep up the
cry to satisfy their jiugo supporters
who once had the right of calling
themselves Americans. They are
obliged to hang on to their snnex-
alton policy, beceuse they feel the
weakness OF their government and
live in constant fear OF the people
whom they temporarily rule but do
not represent.

We passed another building at
Makiki which was being erected by
Chinese. We do not know who the
owner is, but were informed that he
was a white mechanic, or at least a
man in the employ Of white mechan-
les. Well may the foreign and Ha-
waiian contractors and builders
"kick" when they see the men who
ought to patronize them giving
their work to Chinese, with whom
not even the frugal Hawaiians or
Portuguese can compete.

The new beach road is now in ex-
cellent condition but in spite of it
furnishing one of the most pictur-
esque aud pleasant drives in Homo
lulu it is not used to great extent
presumably because people haven't
realized the beauty OF the scenery
and the fresh sea breeze which those
travelling along the road enjoy. We
specially recommend the road to
people having fast horses and who
are inclined to speed them on the
public highway. On the beach road
there are no crossings, no danger OF
running into anybody and no
chance Of being pulled up for fast
driving. The scorchers will also
find the new road an excellent field
for speeding their chainless and
bell-needing wheels and get an op-
portunity to become humpbacked
without running into pedestrians
and damage suits.
