odic effort on the part OF a few
irresponsible filibusters, when it was
nothing Of tho kind.
We fail to recall any writer who
has represented the revolution OF
1893 as "a spasmodic effort of a few
irresponsible flibusters." To the
contrary it has been only too well
known that it was deliberate effort
springing, as the Star writer con-
fesses, from the treaty OF 1876, aud
carried on through the years up to
1893, when the United States Min
ister Stevens, believed that "the
pear was ripe" for plucking and
ordered the forces Of the United
States ship of war Boston to land
and accomplish the plucking. For
conspicuous mendacity commend us

a FEW FACT s.

Yesterdays Star contaiued an
editorial for foreign consumption,
said to be for the Japanese market.
AS an illuminator the Star has about
one candle power, less than that
when it seeks to throw its rays into
the Japanese Foreign Office, where
there is more light on Hawaiian
affairs than the entire printing plant
OF the Government and Annexation
Club can shed. One mistake that
Mr.. Dole aud his cunfederates have
made has been that they supposed
that the epresenta,ives Of foreign
powers residing here have failed to
keep their Governments advised as
to what has been going on here in
past years.
For clear understanding of the
editorial it should he read backwards
read thus it is contradictory to some
extent. The closing paragraph reads:
The country should now stand,
and has stood to its bargain OF 1876.
Those who are against annexation
are dishonest. They have profted
by he Reciprocity Treaty and have
grown rich beyond their widest
hopes, and now they do not want to
pay the price which is due. Annex
alton was forehadowed in 1876. The
present situation is logical out
come of it.
This explanation is as bold as it is
INSCRIPTIONS. How it blackens the
memory of the men who worked for
the Reciprocity Treaty, who drew
their wage from the Treasury OF the
Monarchy with which to work it's
overthrow. The Star writer has
already unblushingly admitted that
he has been an annexationist since
1882, while for years during the
same period he fed at the crib of the
Monarchy. A man may commit
moral suicide if it pleases him; but
we fail to see the motive that leads
him to murder the memory Of his
co-conspirators.

In Hawaii we are on the same lay
out. When our friend the Star was
first founded in the initial days of
the P. g., Government clerks
were blackmailed into contributing
to its support, on the agreement
that the shares were to be paid for
in trifing instalments. This agree
ment was Immediately afterwards
violated and the whole amount col
lected. No one could "kick" for it

desired their employees to assist in
creating an official organ, aud fur
thermore that they should become

Again, the writer says:

The revolution in Hawaii was for
principle not for a man.
The quotation already made from
the editorial under consideration
fails to develop any principle upon
which revolution might be based /;
quite to the contrary it discloses a
most uuprincipled origin for the
revolutions Of both 1887 and 1898.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-10-15

For unblushing misstatement of
the motives actuating the revolu-
tionists OF 1898 commend us to the
next quotation, which reads:
At the same time it was distinctly
shown that this move was for no
personal aggrandsement, but that
the Republican Government should
be held in trust, as it were, till it
could reach its ultimate end in an
nexation to the United States.
1t is an open secret that the sugar
planters concerned in the revolution
went into it for coin. The McKin-
Icy tariff had given sugar free entry
into the markets of the United
States, very much to the loss OF our
sugar patriots, while sugar growers
in the United States were receiving
bounty OF two cents pound for
their sugar. Hawaii an American
state and it's sugars would receive
the bounty, and it was for this that
the revolutionists sought.
