The prophets are at work.
The public is told one day that
if we don't get annexed to the
United States the Hawaiian Isl
ands will go to the "demnition
bow wow," and next day another
prophet arises and tells us that
we cannot get annexation under
any circumstances and that the
outlook for the abrogation of the
Reciprocity treaty is good.
While listening to these dire
prophecies we notice that the
world moves on and that the
people plod along as usual and
give and take into marriage and
perform other acts of routine.
1t is well, however, to be pre-
pared for the worst and all pru-
dent people should now exercise
the greatest economy in house
hold affairs. The parson, the
ring and brides gown are not
all that is necessary to establish
a household Other things are
wanted in Kitchen and Pantry.
Call at our stores and select your
kitchen furnitures which we
furnish at cheap prices and in
great variety, To-day we make
special mention of the GEM
ICE SHAVERS. These handy
implements will be found very
economical. Instead of breaking
the ice and wasting it, the shaver
will scrape the quantity you
want from the block in an easy
and convenient manner.
The Fish Scaler should also
be found in every kitchen. 1t
saves labor and takes the scales

And so after all the California

whore the experiments might be

nalei, Wailua, Waimea rivers on

that he performs an official duty

THE MO US oPERANDI.

desperate fight this year to consum-
mate their ends. Assisted by The
whole force OF Government and So
cial patronage they rely upon the
financial results to flow from such
sources to materially aid them in
their campaign Of education. We
cannot blame them for using this
lobby-like influence, more especially
if they are sincere in their belief
that annexation would be for the
commercial, social and true benefit OF
(themselves frst) the Hawaiian ma
ton. When the clerics we're the
statesme of the European world,
they placed their faith in the great
axiom that "the end justifes the
MEANS" and crimes against God and
man we're condoned, provided the
end attained was 10 accordance with
their ambitious wishes and desires.
If annexation is so desirable for us
all, and if the United States is will
ing to accept us just as we are upon
the simple plea of the annexation
lists, there is one very easy way to
settle and simplify the modus oper-
andi of reaching the Golden Gate.
Let the campaign of education go
on: let facts and figures be mis-
stated to suit the educators, and
then when the country is sufficiently
educated, as it should be in time for
the Septemb ber elections, let one OF
the main issues Of that election be
annexation or autonomy. This could
be arranged for in the proclamation
calling the election. 1t might not
be exactly in accordance with the
constitution of the Republican oil
garchy, but it would be rather more
honest than for the revolutionists Of
1898, now the recognized Govern
ment, to assert that they and they
alone represent'the people and ma
tion of Hawaii. McCandless' SEN
ate which, on his say so, is to repeal
the contract labor laws, will practi-
cally be the same after the election
as before, but the Commons, the
House OF Representatives, the peo.
ple's house, will be somewhat differ
ent in character. While under the
present voting system even they will
not represent the masses OF the peo-
pie, still they will be in somewhat
closer touch with them and their
vote in favor Of annexation would
have greater effect both here and
abroad than that of the Cabinet and
the Senate. But after all the safest
plan for the annexationists to adopt
will be plebescite after they have
completed their campaign OF educa-
ton. But even then they will have
to conquer the United States

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The Advertiser OF the 18th inst.
says the planters must decide be-
tween annexation and the abroga-
tion OF the reciprocity treaty" "Ha-
waii and its friends" we are told,
"must present very strong front to
meet the opponents who now may
be considered as in the field, aud
furthermore losing no time in their
efforts to gain every possible ad-
vantage. II these people oppose the
reciprocity treaty there is no reason
to doubt that they will fight the
annexation of Hawaii to the last
ditch" Then, presumably referring
to their opposition to annexation,
our unsophisticated friend predicts
that they will not be successful.
But, il they canuot succeed against
annexation they certainly cannot
bring about the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty; on the other
hand il they have enough support
in Congress to wipe out the treaty
it naturally follows that they could
direct the same forces with equal
success against annexation.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-01-19

If the Advertiser clique will let
the treaty alone Hawaiians need
have no fears as to it's being con-
tinued. Incorporation of Mr.. Ok
nard, to which the Advertiser at
taches 30 much Importance, is
actuated by purely selfish motives,
and is in behalf OF very small sec
tion Of the American people. When
he says the treaty cost the United
States 48,000,000 dollars he forget to
mention the sum that Hawaii has
paid back for goods and manuiac-
lures. So long as we reciprocate
our treaty favors as we have in the
past and the American people re-
quire our sugar we may rest assured
the treaty will not be abrogated, un-
less ii is done by our own folly.
