professions Of patriotism are only
assumed as temporary cloak, to
cover either their ambition, their
avarice or some other equally un-

OF such is the Star editor and the
party he represents.

OF in laudatory terms by the. sup
porters Of the present Oligachy-on
the subject Of Patriotism, may fit
tingly be quoted here:
True patriotism does not consist
in advocating measures that would
tend, unnecessarily, and regardless
OF the consequences, to embroil our
own country in disputes or war with
another. We often hear of fire. and
sword politicians and representatives
of the people, who seem to claim
the homage and support OF their
fellow-citizens through no other
means. The language of such is,
my country right or wrong, right or
wrong my country this, however, is
not the language OF wisdom, nor
even of common sense, and he, who
adopts it as his motto is not
reasonable man, but bigot. There
is ia every free country a class OF
men, mostly among the lower
orders, who are not contented TO
follow the arts OF peace and to lead
quiet and sober lives under their
free institutions, but are always
ready to catch the first note from
a war crying politician, and echo it
round and roond through the length
and breadth Of the land, till they
get the whole nation worked up into
ferment OF excitement and anxiety,
and the press, the Huctuating index
OF the public mind, teens with in.
hamatory war speeches from would
be patriotic editors and orators,
glad OF an opportunity to display
their talents and court temporary
popularity, even at the risk OF en-
dangering their country's peace aud
welfare"
Continual reference is made by
the Star editor, TO the considerable
sacrifices aud the many risks Of life
to which his party have been sub
jected to in'.heir endeavor TO obtain
control Of the Government of Ha-
waii and to keep their Oligarchy in
existence. Really, all such sacrifices
and risks of life must be known only
to themselves, no one else ever pre-
sumed that they had experienced
any such danger. The following re-
marks made by the same jurist
already referred to, are also appro-
pirate:
"Those who are most clamorous,
and in whose mouths is ever heard
the ready cry,-our country-our
country, are in general insincere.
They endeavor to appear at all times,
in bold relief before the eyes of their
fellow citizens as the champions of

If No Annexation, What ThenP

If No Annexation, What ThenP
ED. The INDEPENDENT
The above head lines afford much
food for thought to the Hawaiians
and those interested in their cause.
1t is not the intention of the writer
to discuss that question at the pre-
sent time; the form OF government
that will be the best suited to our
condition or which will he the most
satisfactory to the majority of "the
People," can be discussed and ar
ranged upon when the proper time
is at hand.
The tone of the leading editorial
in the Star of the 23rd inst, appears
to show most conclusively, that it is
not the intention of the clique re-
presented by that newspaper, to per-
NIT the Hawaiians or any others
who do not coincide with their
views to have any voice whatever in
the formation of government for
these islands. They seem to arro-
gate to themselves the sole right of
debating to "the People" the form
of government they must accept,
and through their mouth piece they
inform the people what government
win be or will not be tolerated by
their party.
The writer OF the editorial, to en-
phasize the views OF his party, goes
so far as to say that any movement
to establish government contrary
to their wishes, "would precipitate
revolution in less than twenty
hours" Such a remark is irrational
and preposterous, and has in it the
look OF demegogism and anarchical
tyranny.

late eminent jurists, ,-one who
was respected and held in high es-
TEEN by, and whose good qualities
aad legal talents have been spoken

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-
For anyone to pretend to be able
to foretell or to assert what will or
what will not happen in the future
in the event of the non accomplish
ment OF the annexation scheme, is
utter nonsense
The editor of the Star is now pos
ing as prophet from Kopai, Asia.
He not only poses as being possess
ed of the gift of foresight, but also
with the sense of small; the smell OF
b-l-lood-probably the blood of a
fve-pound roast It's now being
waited into his nostrils He sees in
the distance, what he terms to be a
possible revolution, he is ready to
again sacrifice his life--why in the
devil did he not stay dead, when he
first died--in the defense OF the oil
garchy which he now supports. His
war talk is the utterance OF a dema-
gogue, and his facts exist only in
his own mind.
He speaks of sacrifices, and the
risks of life; what sacrifices or risks
of life has he, or in fact, have any OF
the clique to which he adheres-like
postage stamp to an envelope
ever been subjected to; none what
ever. The overthrow of the govern
ment in 1898, was not accomplished
through any sacrifice or risk Of life
to themselves, that diabolical and
disgraceful act of theft, was the act
OF the United States naval forces;
the two principal actors in that
affair have lost their lives for their
pains at the instance of just Provi-
denoe.
Let the Star prophet accept the
dire omen.

Wants a Plebiscite.
ED. The INDEpENDENT:-


The following sickeniug gush, was
born Of the Advertiser "If some
of the ironpipes in our streets could
become animate and articulate, they
would now rise up from their
trenches when Senator Morgan is
driving by and say: Welcome, COM
rade from Alabama" Indeed, the
romantic Superintendent OF Public
Works states that he heard one OF
these pipes, on the day the Senator
landed, sadly warbling in its subter-
raueous abode: "Way down in Ala
bama." The above twaddle should
be printed in large type and framed,
and then presented to "heeting re-
miniscence" Senator Morgan, to be
taken to Washington and hung in a
conspicuous place in the Senatorial
Hall, as sample of Honolulu lick
spittle curiosities who are dying
with fear of the very men they have
arme1-hence their weeping aud
whining spasm for annexation, while
the royalists look on and smile at
their sore discontinue, The Star
is noted as the chief irresponsible
perverter of political facts on the
Islands, as the following will show:
Take the mass OF Hawaiians and
no one can say that they are discon-
tented. The Hawaiian is contented
and satisfied" Now then, Senator
Morgan, to prove that the Star is
unreliable in political affairs just
get its editor and six or eight
others connected in this atrocious
robbery OF Hawaii together, and
say that plebiscite will be
be ordered here to learn the will of
the people on the subject OF annexa-
tion, and watch their faces blanch
with fear, at the mere mention of
the word plebiscite. There is not
single Hawaiian but what would
vote dead against annexation if
plebiscite was ordered and they had
fair play. There is also a large num-
Der of born Americans with host
OF other foreigners who would vote
against annexation on principle.
They one and all say that if we must
have annexation, let it come in an
honorable way or not at all. The
Hawaiian patriots should rest easy
and allow "feeting "reminiscences"
Senator Morgan to enjoy his "cakes
and ale" to his hearts content, as
by all accounts his voice carries lit
tie weight in the Senate. Annexa-
tion is as dead as Noah's Ark, and
all the ''feeting" Morgans from the
battle grounds of Vicksburg to
Libby prison cannot revive the steal.

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-25

Just so. That Hawaiian, white
or brown, should seek for aunexa-
tion is one of the inscrutable things
that even Senator Morgan cannot
understand. The fact is that il the
gentlemen who are in power could
get over the scare that haunts their
waking hours and settle down to a
rational consideration of the subject
they would call off the annexation
treaty. II it we're possible to have
the treaty ratified by the United
States Senate, that act would mark
the beginning of sorrow for all the
people of Hawaii. Senator Morgan
is right. The Hawaiian should GER
tainly "look at the matter in differ
ent light" from that which illumin-
ates the American jingo in his pur-
suit of territory. Stand fast, Ha-
waiians, for your homes and all else

interesting conversation with that gentleman
regarding the illness ofhis only daughter.
You have been correctly informed, " said

was caused by weak digestion. This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by neu-

was dangerous location for any such trouble,
and she rapidly grew worse, Notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till n year ago last November, at
which time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed.
The neuralgia became gradually worse,
and finally she was a confirmed victim to it.

and w. A. Harris. his brother, on one
side, and Judge G.. b. Gerald, a promi-

was shot dead, j. w. Harris wounded
fatally, his body being paralyzed, and
Gerald was shot in the side and may

the mobbing of w. G.. Brann, pub
Usher of The Iconoclast.
Gerald was %ex-county judge, and one
Of Waco's most prominent citizens. He
had written a bitter criticism on Tay-
Tor university with reference to the re-
cent mobbing of w. c. Brann, and had
filed 1t with Editor Harris for publ
cation. Aftefward he asked to have
his manuscript returned, and became

him. Gerald Immediately drew his re-

Hearing the shooting w. A. Harris
came upon the scene and took a hand
in the fusilade, shooting Gerald from
behind. Gerald pursued him into the
drug store, shooting as he ran. Har-
ris fell to the floor with the words,
You shot me in the back"
Gerald emptied the remaining loads
in his weapon into the PROSTATE form
of his victim, killing him on the spot.
A little colored boy who stood near was
shot in the leg by a stray bullet.
Editor Harris was carried into the
drug store by friends. His wife and
daughter were notified, and were soon
at his side. The scene was pitiful, the
wife and daughter weeping, while the
husband and father lay PROSTATE, I'M
