mand would be, that the treaty
should be co-eXistent with repub-
licau form OF government. Nine
people ont OF every ten in the
| United States have a healthy hat
red for any form Of government
that savors Of monarchy; every

nation Is against it and 30 com

-tillcd In the American heart that
we may well say that even conser-
vativc citizens Of the United States
are strongly prejudiced against amy
monarchy. Our so-called royalist
contemporaries well know that
ex-quecn Liliuokalani has become
the public laughing stock Of Wash
ingtonians and the American peo-
pie generally, simply because it
has been stated that she seeks re-
storation TO a throne in what i
practically an American Colony
the Hawaiian Islands. Should
monarchy be restored, Hawaii and
the native Hawaiians would occupy
the same position as the eX-queep-.
a public laughing stock-and the
general tendency Of sentiment
would be to withdraw whatever as !
sistance has been given us TO build
up a progressive and enlightened
colony.
The native Hawaiian who stops
to consider the question can see
very clearly that the men who
have many times led them to de
struction are seeking to lead them
and the nation to still lower depths
by publishing the most bare faced
lies concerning the character and
sentiment of the United States and
the republican institutions which
American citizens love and Will
fight TO uphold.

ROYALISTIC BABBLE.

One of the latest schemes used
by one of the native papers to pre-
judice the native mind against the
Republic and against annexation
Is contained in the statement that
the Reciprocity Treaty will be lost
unless the monarchy Is restored.
This Is another good example of the
miserable political food with which
some of our native Hawaiian citi-
zens are being fed. The average
citizen very well knows that no
thing could disgrace this country
in the eyes of American citizens
and American statesmen more
than return o monarchial rule.
And the average citizen also knows
that monarchy in the Hawaiian
Islands Is deader than the deadest
Indian whose corpse ever graced
a North American plain.

government here cut any figure
with the United States in respect
