Ed. The INDEPENDENT
Appreciating the manly fight
your little paper is making against
the uuwarranted sale Of your coun-
try to us for the benefit Of your
sugar barons, l desire to warn you
against assuming that in the event
OF annexation you will have he same
rights and privileges OF electoral
franchise granted to you as Ameri-
can citizens possess
| fear that, judging from the tenor
Of articles published in TEE INDE-
PENDENT, you believe that you will
have almost universal suffrage the
same as ourselves. Do not for one
moment even dream OF such a posi-
bility. The form Of government al
ready being arranged for you is a vote-
less one for the present, and for some
years to come, and until the rising
generation have proved themselves
to be competent and understanding
enough to use their votes in accord
auce with an ineligible construc-
tion Of the Constitution of the
United States.
The form of government will be
simple enough, for the United States
acW haze the aVhole control and the
whole Of the office appointing po,oer.
You will have no electorate nor will
you have any effective voice in tho
administration of your affairs.
The argument adduced for this
course of policy is that the native
Hawaiians and half-whites ace virtu-
ally children, politically, and hardly
more capable Of self government
and political responsibility than
were the negroes of the South prior
to their emancipation by the events
of the Civil War.
1t is pre-supposed also that the
white minority Of Americans, Bri-
fishers aud Germans are listless in
the matter of vote so long as fin
ancial arrangements suit them, while
the Portuguese are represented as
being restless, ignorant, irresponsi-
bile class only being slowly develop
ed into citizenship, and a class
safer to repress than to encourage,

in South African paper after the
arrival of the British Squadron at
Delagoa Bay.
Itwas in some wild, scarce known,
dopdiluted dorp, a thousand miles
from nowhere. How the news ever
got there, goodness only knows. But

We recommend the following ex-
tract from the "Osteopath," the
journal Of the profession some Of
whose members are apparently de-
srous of obtaining licenses to prac-
tce medicine in the Hawaiian ISL

his favorable consideration:
Doctor, have you heard OF the re-
cent arrest in Paris of the Count De
Criuksbauk who recently married
an American heiress? 1t seems that
this violation Of the law was in using
American hide to make French kids.
The following from St. James
Gazette makes interesting reading,
as showing the high estimation in
which our oligarchical rulers are
held in Europe:
While we are all talking about
Crete ard the Jubilee and the wea-
ther ansSother important matters,
it is possible that any morning we
may rise to find that the trouble in
the Pacific, to which we have moro
than once referred Of late, has como
to head with far-reaching conse-
quences. Hawai- is corrupt little
Republic run by handful of Ameri-
can tilibusters, who captured it and
expelled the native Queen some
years ago. The Japanese are the
Uitlanders the most pushing and
energetic section OF the very mixed
community and the most rapidly in.
creasing, thanks to immigration.
The Americans long ago stopped
Chinese and japanese immigration
on the Pacific coast with high
hand aud iwth little regard to inter
national law, and the Hawaiian Gov
ernment has now followed suit. But
the Japanese have been feeling their
strength lately, and insist on being
treated at home and abroad rs a
civilized race--a notion abhorrent
to the free and Independent Ameri-
can, by whom niggers, Chinese, In.
dians, and japanese are all Jumped
together as persons of no account,
to be bullied, logged, or lynched at
will as occasion arises.
