handsome ornament for the

RELUCTANT AMERICANS.

There is hardly any reasonable
possibility that the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States will
ever be accomplished. The vast
majority of the Inhabitants, aud
more especially Of the autochthone-
oppose the surrender OF the indies
pendence OF their islands, and pro-
test against the unholy act proposed
by unscrupulous wire pullers and
corrupt politicians of the United
States.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-07-02

There is distinct proof that Secre-
tary Sherman is opposed to annex
alton, and an interview The In
DEPENDENT will preseut will justify
the assertion.

1t is lamentsble to notice that out
Of 81 deaths last month, no less than
Is were of infants under five years
of age. Is not this a state of affairs
calling for the most earnest investi-
cation of the Health Authorities.
In other countries q commission
would be appointed to ascertain the
causes Of their mortality, Strangely
enough also the same number is
reached between 80 and 40 the age

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-07-02

Let us admit for a moment that
the Senate of the United States
should throw decency and honor to
the winds and ratify treaty of an
nexation against the will OF the peo-
pie the very stones and coral rocks
of Hawaii would cry to the Heaven
above us in protest. Let us admit
that the men who represent the
Great Republic Of America might
be corrupted, and submit to bribes,
aud all other forms OF political dis
honor. The Hawaiians, that is the
vast majority Of free citizens of the
country will never voluntarily sacri-
fee, their national honor. And
tho men who in the Senate Of the
United States will lend their assist
ance in robbing the Hawaiians Of
their country and their indepen-
dence and will face the civilized
world after such a contemplate,
cowardly act ought to relegated to
the position where decency and
honor are unknown.
