The report says of the efficiency of the

1t ought not be charged against the

Attention is called to additional work

Mr.. Theo. II. Davies 10 his lecture
on Hawaii" delivered in England
last December, said: Eventually it
may be that the aun.xationists will
learn that annexation without the
consent Of the DISTINGUISHED voters
is not attainable, aud that then they
will be ready to listen to other couu-
sells, and try to restore the peace and
harmony which have been so com
pletely shattered. Had the men OF
1893 known what a Constitutional
Monarchy ought to be, and can be.
they would have known that their
best hope OF peace and permanent
prosperity lay in the retention Of
TIE Monarchy, with a well-consider-
ed and we'll balanced spportionment
OF power between natives and for
eigners. l do not anticipate any
serious outbreak again in Hawaii,
hut | shall not be surprised if the
good men OF the present regime come
to the conclusion that, after all. the
real object Of the real friends of the
Hawaiian commonwealth can best
be attained by judicious compro-
mise between natives and Foreigners,
aud in that case, and probably only
in that case, we may yet see the
Princess Kaiulani called to occupy
the throne OF Hawaii"

The "white" labor scheme has
been tried frequently and it has been
found wanting. The planters want
big dividends and cheap labor. Mr..

here and work for $l250 month,

laborers.

Mr.. Dole and Mr.. Thurston are

1t is possible that white men can
work in our cane fields without being

however, to persuade the planters
