ing on Fort street. Outside the
Hopper's mill the horse kicked so
violently that it's hind legs passed
over the whiffle-tree and over the
dashboard. The dashboard had to
be broken down before the horse
could be released.
This afternoon there was lively
run away on King street which re-
suited ia Hack No. 13 being wreck
ed by the horse running madly into
the Chinese pork shop on the cor
nar Of King and Maunakea streets.
A passenger jumped and narrowly
escaped being injured and equally
fortunate was the driver who was
thrown out when the collision took
place. A Chinese vegetable peddler
outside the pork shop was slightly
injured and his cabbages were scat
tered all over the sidewalk.

Hawaiian group. They are
found everywhere, and every

exceed those of all other wind

Because, not only will they
run when ALL OTHER
WINDMILLS STAND
STILL, but they require less
care and attention than any
others, being simpler and
more complete and perfect in
their construction. Ministers
Cooper and Damon are both
satisfied with them, and so is

to see from ten to fifteen Chinese
gathered 10 the morning on the
post office verandah and jabbering
excitedly with the wise men who
arrange" matters for them. The
system is that some of them plead
guilty, and that the whole gang
pool together sufficient sum to
pay the fines plus commission to
the gentlemen who arrange matters.
The rest OF them are nolle, pros. as
the prosecution is satisfied by having
the guilty" ones punished. This
morning there appeared about
seventy Chinese in the District
Court charged with gambling. They
had no lawyers, and asked for a con-
tinuance till tomorrow. In grant
ing it Judge Wilcox remarked, that
he expects that to morrow two of
the gang will plead guilty and the
rest go free, and he added that he
intends to put a stop to the "sys-
tenn" in a very near future by
making it very uncomfortable for
those selected to plead guilty.

The Hawaiian breads annexation
as he does the pestilence that
wasteth at MONDAY, and he has
reached this condition of mind be-.
cause OF his loss of faith in the
white annexationist, particularly the
one who is proselyting for wages.
He does not always recognize be-
hind the wage Garner the apparent
ly pious employer, who furnishes
the money for the campaign; but
he does recognize him often enough
to despise the pretence of piety.
We wonder sometimes whether the
seemingly pious employer flatters
himself that he is not recognized.

TUESDAY, AUG, "a, 1897.
THE HA AwAIIAN ARE THINKING

The Hawaiian Star, tho advocate
of the annexationists said recently
that a Spontaneous meeting Of Ha-
waiians against annexation would
be respected on all zides." This is
fair talk and marks liberalty Of
thought that is refreshing in these
days. But" says the same paper,
"when such meeting is being work
ed up by money from the Sugar
Trust, people value the spontaneity
of it at the depth Of the sack"
Evidently some evil minded person
has told the writer that the Trust
was spending money here to inhu-
ence Hawaiians to vote against an
nexation.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-24

The INDEPENDENT presented its read
ers yesterday with very interesting
and valuable supplement contain
ing in entenso U. S. Senator Step
hen M. Whites article in the Forum
on the proposed annexation of Ha-
wai. He clearly demonstrates the
force OF his argument in hold
ing that annexation is detrimental
to the United States and that its ac
complishment now would be alike
impolitic and dishonorable. The
present government endures, he
Justly says, in defsnce Of the will
OF the governed. And yet when the
Senator penned these lines he was
not aware that the government had
actually caused to be registered no
less than SIG voters in Honolulu and
Oahu out Of 10000 inhabitants. He
also claims that the prevailing oil
garchy" hold the country by con-
quest, This article is unanswerable.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-24

LII the editorial writer knew what
Hawaiians are thinking about and
talking about he would know that
if money is needed for influencing
Hawaiians it is to obtain their con-
sent to annexation. The Hawaiians
are against annexation. They have
become fixed in their opposi-
tion largely by the conduct of the
white annexationists. The Hawai-
ian knows that the meanest of
methods have been and are being
used to secure the signatures OF his
countrymen tothe so-called annex
alton roll. WdMis offered to a
man, who is in sfaits, if he will
sign. His signature having been
secured he is dropped from the pay
roll. Again man may have gone
wrong and the pains and penalties
of the law are made light for his
signature. A woman may require
favor from an official and is told
that her signature to the roll will
go long way to secure favor
Yielding she is told that she need
not write her Christian name in full,
the initial letter is sufficient, and
thus her signature is made to do
service as the signature Of a man.
We could multiply instances Of
such petty meanness.

Register and in 1897 with census
population Of 10000 there are but

city of Honolulu with population
of over 25,0U0. We leave the Ame-
