Who constituted the Star clique as
Judges over the people to decide
who are blind leaders?" The mere
fact OF wearing saccharine lorgnettes
does not ensure bright aud honest
vision. La fact, when the laboring

Asiatic labor, aud moving their
wealth amassed in this country to
Oakland aud elsewhere they truly
regard the Star ring as being the
actual "blind" leaders, and some-

IT the Advertiser writer will read

When the editor OF the Advertiser
is 10 one OF his independent moods,
and not afraid Of his colleagues of
the Star, will he be good enough to
enlighten his much interested read
ers as to the meaning Of President
McKinley's charge to Congress to
provide for Hawaii's annexation in
such way as to prevent the "abrupt
assimilation of elements perhaps
hardly yet fitted to share in the
highest franchise of citizenship"
Does the American ll-mighty and
irreproachable desire to have the
franchise limited to followers OF the
Oligarehical Republic alone7 1t can
be reasoned that way.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-12-21

1t is a pretty safe guess to make
that even if Hawaii is annexed to-
day. she will be an independent
country again within twenty years.
Long before that time she will have
been taken by force from the United
States by stronger powers and made
permanently neutral country for
the benefit Of all interested in the
Pacific. The Great Powers are clos
ing in all around to curb Americas
ambition as a Colonizer.

There is one question the annex

will not the Government take vote
of the people and prove their asser-
ton to be correct?

In London the great metropolis the
police are not armed with pistols or
other deadly weapons, and yet there
is hardly any better protected and
orderly city in the civilized world.
If the police officers in such cities as
London and Paris can manage the
tough" population of those two
great centers and can do it without
being armed, how is it that our
police force in this small village is
permitted to travel around with
their revolvers sticking out from
their pistol pockets and firing shots
in the air or into the bodies OF fellow
men az the case may be, without be-
ing called to task? The English
press and the English judiciary are
on the wsrpath against the revolver,
and at the next meeting OF Parlia-
ment an act will undoubtedly be
passed which virtually will make the
revolver taboo" weapon. We
hope that our Legislature will follow
the example OF Parliament aud dis
arm irresponsible men like Marshal
Browns pet Chun Poon, who used
his deadly weapon with such great
effect on Jack Gavin, the man who
charged with a small offense, pro-
badly will be cripple for life. Mr..
Chum Poon is still sporting star

Seminary, who four times every

Seminary aud the Church. The

rectly said in regard to the traffic

ans cannot own the whole road nor
can the people fortunate enough to
drive behind fast horses. The learn
ed judge might have added that at

Such as take an interest in Ameri.
can politics are aware that opposi-
ton has arisen to the promotion OF
Attorney General McKenna to the
position of one of the Just
ices of the United States Supreme
Court to succeed Justice Field, One
opponent, a layman, in his protest
to Senator Perkins gives the follow
ing reasons:
The protest charges that the
Judge was slow in disposing of cases,
and that he left much business un-
disposed of when he resigned as
Circuit Judge. 1t also charges that
he took too much time to dispose
of many of the causes that came
before him, greatly to the detriment
OF business.
There seems to be be familiar
ring in these charges There was
once a Hawaiian Judge Of whom
such things were perhaps uutruly
aud unjustly said. He does not APP
pear to have suffered much in posi-
ton through them, however, and
there are many who think that the
policy Of Fabius Cunctator which
he has often emulated rather exaltf
him in the eminent position which
he now holds.

The artificial boom in real estate
which the annexation swindlers have
inaugurated is bad enough. But the
attempt to blk number OF Hawai-
ian real estate holders out OF their
small lands under false pretenses is
even worse. Ii We are correctly in
formed, and we believe we are, the
natives are being told by certain un-
scrupulous land sharks that they
can mortgage their lands now for
considerable amounts and that all
such mortgages upon the restora-
ton OF the Queen will be declared
void and null, and that the owners
will have the money advanced as
we'll AZ the lands. 1t is difficult to
belieye that there are, otherwise
sensible, Hawaiians who have easily
been caught in the trap. When the
Government condemned the kule-
anas at the Molokai Settlement it
was expected that there would be
great opposition If not trouble ia
obtaining the transfer. The official
sent to eyict the owners OF the
kuleanas and pay the moneys allot-
ted to them, found no resist ance
whatever. The people accepted the
money, and laughed in their sleeves
because they firmly believed that
when the Queen vas restored their
lands would be- given back to them.
The swindlers who take advantage
Of the Hawaiisns in the manner
described should be brought up
with round turn, and the attention
of the orney-General is respect
fully called to their nefarious
schemes.
