President Dole has never submitted
himself even to the restricted suffer
age his revolution created. He is
President OF a so-called republic,
but was never candidate for the
Office before the people, and there
are evidences of such discord among
the 1000 people who are permitted
to vote that if an election for Presi-
dent were held he would be defeated
even by the machine he has so care
fully created.
Metropolitan Temple recently
rang with denunciations Of bossism
in the politics of San Francisco.
Now bossism in this city rests and
has always rested upon the criminal
capacity OF few men to practically
disfranchise the majority by crimes
against the ballot. In this way a
minority runs the city government,
but so far it has done no worse than
sell us out to a few corporations. 1t
has not peddled us in the worlds
market and put our sovereignty up
for sale to tho biggest and greedi-
est bidder. In this respect Boss
Dole is long step ahead Of our
various bosses, and yet his act is ap-
proved by the men who denounce
bosses at home.
Notwithstanding the reports about
Japan the world is waiting passively
for us to fix our own character
among the powers. We established
this republic upon the firm thesis
that all govern ments derive their
just powers from the consent of the
governed. The world waits to see
whether adhering to that at home
we seek extracontinental jurisdic-
ton based upon its violation.
AS for Japan, she has people and
treaty rights in Hawaii, and if
watchful OF these her duty to her
self is no menace to the United
States, though it serves admirably
as material for appeal to false pa
triotism.-S. f. Call.

The Switzerland of the Seas.

A sensational cry rises and runs
that Japan is about seize Hawaii, or
that Ger many has designs that way,
or that England has a pocket for
the islands. Suppose any of these
were true, what would be the duty
of the United StatesY
There is an example in classic
history. The little Platean repub-
lie, neighbor Of Greece, was beset
and taken by the Persians. Greece
delivered her and Immediately de-
creed and guaranteed her independ-
enoe. That WAS a sort Of Monroe
doctrine long before Macedonia and
Alexander.
Hawaii ia in the Monroe hemi-
sphere. Let us initiate that act OF
the Greek commonwealth, which
furnishes one of the highest inspira-
tions in history, and refusing to
bully the weak because we are big,
or to rob the lowly because we are
greedy, say to the world, Little ma
tions have the same right to live as
big ones, and Hawaii shall remain
independent and neutralized-the
Switzerland of the seas"-S,F. Call.

THE USUAL LIE.

The following editorial paragraph
appears ia the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle:
The organs of the sugar trust say
that the annexation strength of Hs-
waii is represented by 2S00 voters.
That is quite true as far as it goes,
but it does not go far enough. In
1893, as was shown by statistics, this
strength was also represented by
$27, 100000 out OF total OF $35, ,000,-
600 Of island property. The proper
tion still holds good, 1t was repre-
sented again by at least 80 percent
of the men and women who count
for anything in the moral, CONNER
cial and material growth of the ISL
ands. What are left on the other
side would aid any country most by
leaving.
Two OF the men who called for
last nights mass meeting represent
alone one-tenth Of the total wealth
Of tho country, fact that the
Chronicle could obtain from it's en-!
ployee, Walter G. Smith, if he could
tell the truth. Mr.. Smith aided Ha-
waii by leaving the country.

Wrongs Of a Nation.

In all history there is nothing
more powerful nor more pitifulthan
the plea and position OF the native
Hswaiians. Under their constitu-
tional kingdom they had the right
of suffrage. They willingly gave it
to the Americans domiciled in their
country without any form of natural
ization or requiring that allegiance
to the United States be adjured.
The most extreme demand they ever
was that these Americans, who
could vote one month in Honolulu
and the next in San Francisco,
should take out certificates of "deni-
zation" avowing themselves denizens
of Hawaii, without expatriation
from the United States. This most
reasonable policy was the cause of
the revolution, which was aided by
the naval presence of the United
States. When this was accomplish
ed the amiabls natives found them
selves deprived Of the suffrage by
the very men upon whom they had
SO prodigally conferred it and their
voice in the government of their
country silenced violently by the
strangers who fed aud fattened on
their hospitality.
At Washington and in the press
of this country the story runs of
American holidays celebrated in
Hawaii, of the reading Of the De-
claration OF Independence ON the
Fourth of July and the observance
OF Thanksgiving. Nothing is more
natural than that the 2 percent of
Americans in that land who were
never in the right sense citizens,
who are in temporary possession OF
it for the purpose Of selling it,
should show no Hawaiian pa
triotism. 1t is not their country.
Its traditions do not appeal to them.
Its history is not their history, Its
flag rouses no more emotion in them
than is found in the pirate who
hauls down the oolors of his prize.
But with the native Hawaiians it is
different. Though Senator Morgan
makes official announcement that
"it is not our policy to consult the
natives OF any country which we
wish to annex" the natives offer to
our Congressman such humble hos
pitality as they can command, say
ing: "We have no wealth out of
which to entertain, for what was
ours has been taken from US by the
government" They plead friend
ship for the United States and are
sincere in it, but they say; "We love
our own country and we want it left
to us. We are patriotic for Hawaii,
while friendly to the United States"
Is it possible that the cry Of these
people will not be heard in the
Senate, that it will not impress the
country.
Already it is published to the
world that the United States will
fro wn upon any expression of anti
annexation sentiment among the ma
tives, though they are 36 percent oi
the population and the Americans
only 2 percent.
Instead OF appearing as the sup
pressor OF public opinion, it should
be the care of this Government and
the pride of its people to encourage
and protect such expression in Ha-
waii. The Dole Government exists
by violence and denial to the major
ity OF its rights, and this violence is

THE MASS MEETING.

The anti-annexationists are we'll
satisfied with the success of the
mass meeting held last evening in
Palace Square. The organs Of the
annexationists were OF course not
pleased, and we presume that they
have spent the day in inventing rea-
sons why the large crowd of people
gathered and adopted powerful
memorial against annexation.

What pleases us most is the fact
that there we're many women pres
ent at the meeting. When wives
and mothers leave their homes to
listen to political speeches and to
join their voices in defending their
nation and their country, it is a
proof that the feeling OF true love
Of country has penetrated into the
hearts of Hawaiians, and that all
realize the seriousness of the hour
when the Hawaiian has to face an
enemy from inside, foe from out
side.

The speakers at the meeting we're
moderate in their utterances. They
realized that it was not a moment
for oratorical effects or for speeches
to the gallery. The speakers were
not there to convert annexationiSts
or to advance new points for the
benefit OF the anti-annexationists.
They were there to submit a MEM
orial to the President and Congress
OF the United States and to empha-
size on behalf Of those they repre-
sent, that the people Of Hawaii az a
whole is opposed to annexation.

Mr.. Kaulia made an excellent

He fully explained why he had been

Morgan to speak to the Hawaiians
and tell them why annexation was

was glad that he had heard Morgan
and the promise of the Senator that
the Hawaiians will be treated as
we'll as the negroes are in Alabama.
The Hawaiians now knew exactly
what their situation would be in

"thanks, Morgan, no annexation in

Amusement COmpanv.

r. l.. Scott, the well known come
dian, has evolved a scheme whereby
the theater-goers of Honolulu may he
provided with theatrical performances
by first-class companies one week in
each month. He proposes to issue 100
shares of stock at $40 each, and each
share may be exchanged prior to the
opening of each season for a season
ticket for eight performances. The
amount raised by the sale of stock each
month is used as a guarantee fund for
the fares of each company of not more
than 10 persons who may come from
the Coast. Only the fares of the actors
are guaranteed, the manager of the
troupe playing his company on a per
centage basis. The scheme is a good
one and meets the approval of a num-
Der of people, who were informed of it
yesterday. There have already been
enough names secured to guarantee the
success of the enterprise.

Lots of novelties have been
