praise for said school. The programme

as it was long. At 4:30 p. nj. there was
q debate on the subject (Which is the
most profitable to map; q good name or
,lHonoy9 Said debate lasted about one hour
and of course good name won the prize.
At 7:30 they began the regular exercises,
which were exceedingly good, the pro-
gramme consisting Of dialogues and reci-
tations etc., so,ue of tho dialogues were
funny, but in good taste. The teacher
deserves great credit for the pains etc.

Gig Main st. Baton Ieouge, La.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-01

Hawaiians should be familiar with
the annexation policy of the Mis-
sioparies for tho past rs years. They
are now only consummating their
plans for foreclosing the greater
mortgage of country and kingdom,
in place of the toreclosipg on in
dividual kuleanas By continual
practice, to beg, to borrow and to
steal become only different in de-
gree with sanctimonious land grab
bers. With the dollar for their
guiding God and the Bible, With its
tale of the theft Of the vineyard,
they make sure of an earthly reward
before they go hence and are no
more seen.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-01

The Hawaiian knows that the day
the American Gag is hoisted over
Hawaii his country will be overrun
with the scum and the riff-raf Of
the United States. There will be a
brief boom when annexation comes,
and Coxey's army will find it easier
and more cCngenial to steer for the
Hawaiian Eldorado than tramping
through snow and ice to the Klon.
dyke. The Hawaiian will then soon
find himself a stranger in his own
land. He will be treated like the
niggers are in the South by the
mobile" white \Auglo-Ssxons, these
lords of the earth, who will arrive
here in rags hoping to get their
dirty fingers in the Hawaiian pie.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-01

If Hawaii should be admitted as
territory, we are told, that the
present government will go right
ahead, and that the present person
mel will fill the Offices now held by
them. Even our Government must
have common sense enough to real
ize that this would be impossible.
Mr.. Mckinley is not the United
States by a long sight; there is
something called the Constitution
Of the United States, which cannot
be overridden by his bidding or by
any acts Of the Congress. If our
Supreme Court should be retained
in office by the dictum of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, it would not be long before
the constitutionality of its appoint
ment would be tested before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
And do our friends in the "army"
believe for moment that the tax
payers would contribute one cent
towards supporting that gallant
body after annexation comes?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-01

And yet the Star claims that the
intelligent Hawaiians, who warn
their countrymen against the evils
that annexation will bring, are the
enemies of their countrymen. Does
the Star writer really believe that
his aloha for the Hawaiiaus with
whom he is very little acquainted,
is greater than is the aloha of the
Hawaiian leaders for themselves
and for their countrymen2 Their
knowledge CT what annexation will
bring is just as good as that of the
English gentleman who presides
