The Truth About Hawaii.

The excellent gentlemen who are
working for the annexation Of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United
States are not helping their cause
by the sophistical method they have
chosen to adopt. On the contrary,
they have succeeded, not in de-
ceiving the American public but in
exciting it's suspicious by want of
frankness,
To tell tho people that, unless we
hurry up and annex these islands,
Great Britain or Germany will seize
them, is to practice very puerile,
not to say insulting, indiscretion
Neither Great Britain nor Germany
would think OF Selling what we
should venture to regard rs our
possession; neither, after he selling,
could hold them were minded to
order them of. No European power
will ever attemp pit to possess itself OF
them. This appeal therefore, is a
shabby pretext to conceal the truth.
The truth, of course, is that the So
called "republic" of Hawaii is not a
republic at all, 1t is an oligarchy,
more or less tyrannical, founded in
force, aud in constant danger of
overthrow.
Why not say so frankly7 Do the
oligarchs dread the consequences of
telling the truth ? Then the truth
cannot be creditable to them or their
cause Whatever may be their OBJ
ject, they will fall to attain it by
trying to hoodwink 70000,000 Ameri-
