Continued from Saturday.
RIGHTS TO THE CROWN LANDS.
The White House and other Off
cial estates form an investment made
with the money of the American
people for the use Of their chosen
Executive. The Crown lands we're
never the property of the people, no,
not even of any monarchial Govern
ment. Not citing the testimony of
ages, when the lands belonged to
the chiefs, in 194S the ruling King
reserved these very lands as CHS
private estate" and the Legislature
confirmed this act "as the private
lands of his Majesty, his heirs and
assigns forever" In 1864, the Sup
rene Court decided that leach sue
ceeded" could regulate and dispose
OF the same according to his will
aud pleasure as private property.
In 1866, payment was made to
Queen Emma in lieu OF dover in
these lands, although she had not
been on the throne, but was the
widow of a monarch deceased two
years previously. In 1880, Mr.
Spreokels paid to Princess Ruth
$4,000 to release her claim to a
small track of these lands, although
she had never assembled the throne.
The act of the Legislature by which
these lands we're made "inalienable,
to descend to the heirs and success
sors of the Hawaiian crown, IN. B.,
not Of any Kamehameha,) forever"
has not been reversed, the Constitu-
ton expressly confirming this by
the words the successor elected
shall become a new STRIPS for a
royal family, regulated by the same
law as the present royal family"
Were Kslakaua, Liliuokalani, or
Kaiulani of another race Gnstead of
having, as they most certainly have,
the blood Of Kamehamehas,) it
would still be true that no intelli-
gent lawyer would invest the money
OF his client in tract of hereditary
crown land unless the living repre-
sentatives were to join in the deed.
1t is just possible that the lawyers
who have visited Washington know
these facts, as the first two articles
of their conveyance to US by treaty
are only quit claim deeds; they ex-
pressly limit the grantor's warrant
to that which at this date belongs
to them. Any person could execute
such a conveyance to the White
House estate, and il would not con-
vey anything, nor even pretend to
put the grantee in possession Of
anything. Will American capitalists
invest at their own risk in land
which constitutes one-fourth Of the
whole proposed territory of Hawaii

THE HAWAIIAN DEBT.

By the treaty Of 1898 we assumed
debt of three and ne.quarter
millions, by that OF 1897 this is in
creased to four millions; here, then,
is a confessed deficit Of $750000. OF
what value is the clause of limita
ton? Surprising that from defec-
tive titles, indemnity to Japan, or
claims now regularly before almost
every European Government abroad
and private notes for borrowed
money at home, the liabilities OF our
new territory should be eight mil
lions, from whence is the overplus

wall give us a bond with personal
