Is it not surprising, however, that
this wall OF despair from the organ
OF the Annexation Club, should be
heard ON the day when the "solder"
Of annexation, as Senator Morgan is
dubbed, makes his appearance in
Hawaii. The hired scribblers of the
Annexation Club have told us day
after day that anne xation was a dead
sure thing, in fact we have been
told that Hawaii has coated to exist
as an Independent power. Now the
hat is being passed around to get
funds wherewith to subsidize news
papers and bribe the lobby, the
necessity of issuing and distributing

The Hawaians have seen their
race dying from diseases and vices
introduced by the noble (D Anglo
Saxons. They have been taught to
worship the lowly Christ. and they
willingly adopted the beautiful doc
trines of Christianity. Doubt, cruel
doubt, soon entered their minds, be-
cause the men who preached the
beautiful doctrines did not practice
them or live in the manner they or
dsred their poor, meek pupils to do.
The Hawaiian made giant strides
toward civilization, and the average
Hawaiian is now better educated,
and better versed in political sci
ence and in the history of the world
than is the average "Anglo-Sa1on."
Select an Anglo Saxon peasant and
a Hawaiian, working on his kuleana,
and see who knows the most. The

waiian who reads his newspapers as
regularly as do the merchants of

The Hawaiian protest will be

This statement from such source
should make our annexationists
pause in their mad career. We once
published a memorial from the
Americans in Alaska to the Wash.
ington authorities in which the neg
lect to care for Alaska was strongly
set forth. The jingoes Of the United
States have no use for Hawaii excapt
as a naval station and barracks. Said

made to dredge the mouth OF Pearl

Then insults after insults were
heaped upon them. They had lost
all except their existence as a ma
tion and their autonomy. And
when their Christian teachers stole
even that, and asked the United
States of America, the Great Repub-
lie that boasts OF its justice, free
dom and lofty principles, to become
a receiver of stolen goods, then the
Hawaiians sent out a dignifed, sim
pie protest, appealing to the honor
OF the Great Republic and to the
justice OF the civilized world.

Some of these have been doing lucra-

from the person of Benjamin Hughes.
w. Warden, C. Harper, Matte Frawley,

all booked yesterday afternoon at the City
Prison on charges of burglary and receiv-
ing stolen goods.
Harper declares that until about six
months ago he was a stranger TO crime
and had always been an industrious
workman. He seems to be very much at
tached to this woman Rosie.
"She had not been what you would call
a good woman, perhaps" he said, with a
touch of pathos, but she was trying to
do better and l think this was partly due
to me-"
Unlike Warden, Harper is not addicted
to morphine, and though he undoubtedly
assisted in numerous burglaries and petty
larcenies. his story of the motive which
prompted HIM to the crimes is described
in a manner that prompts belief. He re-
fuses 10 say anything that will implicate
Warden, but offered to assist the detec-
tives in locating stolen plunder if they
would refrain from prosecuting the woman
whom he calls his wife. He insists that
she had no completely in the affairs, and
so far only charge of vagrancy has been
placed against her.

the funds arising out of sale of stock in
the Oregon Steam Navigation Company
belonging to the estate OF J. w. Ladd,
who was the first husband of Mrs, Hitler.
The will of ]. w. Ladd was problted in

and in the proceedings the stock was not
inventoried nor was there any order ever
made by the court authorizing it's sale.
William S. Ladd of Oregon was the exec

profession, who push forward their busi-

other company, and only about half of
that of the great pushing" companies.
Its results to policy holders are larger
