In the eyes was the look of lowness

pinched and bore the unmistakable
air of the hunted man. Experience
had taught the futility of offering re-

Had our contemporary, the Bulle-
tin, kept itself posted on what is
being done with the publication of
Queen Liliuokalan's book in the ma
tive language, it would not have
made such an untoward, moreover,
an untruthful comment. AS far as
we know, the publication in native
has not yet got as far as the portion
in reference to the late Queen
Emma, and, therefore, we fail to
see how the book sis creating very
great deal Of talk among the native
Hawaiians everywhere" and that it
sis discussed everywhere, in their
homes, at luaus, and at society meet
ings, and it is very generally de-
nounced." Be little more truth
full, brother, and you won't run up

FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1898.
THE LABOR QUESTION.

1t is interesting to watch the Off
cial organs in their comments on the
labor question in Hawaii. The Star
wants Americans" to make this
country de facto part OF the United
States. The Bulletin feebly pleads
for less Asiatics, and the Advertiser
in vague terms calls for "white"
labor and "small" farmers. The
exact size of the latter is not given.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

In the meantime the patrons and
supporters Of the organs aud the
Government continue to pour into
the islands hordes OF Asiatics. Min
lister Hatch in Washington says that
he wants $250.0O0 to bring American
laborers to Hawaii, while Minister
Cooper in Honolulu asks the Legis-
lature for authority to bring 5000
more Chinese slaves here. Mr.. Dole
gives to Mr.. Marsden special COM
mission as general labor agent for
Hawaii, which will, by the courtesy
of the authorities of foreign coun-
tries, enable that sugar baron to
travel in comfort, receive official
favors and give him an opportunity
to be cheaply advertised.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

1t appears that a new fisheries
company is to inaugurate new sys-
tenn of practical fisheries with a
steamer. AS that trade has now to
a large extent left the hands of Ha-
waiians and been practically absorb
ed by the Asiatics the move is a good
one, especially if the price of fish
to the general consumer is reduced.
The experiment would have sue
ceeded a few years ago had it not
been opposed by the Government
Of the day, who were influenced by
the owners Of fisheries and fishing
rights.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13
"hollered" and kicked, and the
Asiatics kept on pouring in at the
demand of the planters.

Now we are going to be annexed
we have been told so every day
since 1S93-and we are "hollering"
for American laborers and kicking
against the Asiatics, and no Ameri-
cans come, but we get the Asiatics
at the rate Of 1000 month. There
is evidently some mysterious inhu-
ence at work which defeats the will
OF the people and serves the selfish
interests of our absentee sugar bar
ons. Probably some Of the noisy
members Of the defunct Anti Asiatio
League can explain what (and how
much) that influence is.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

We doubt the sincerity of the
newspapers and the men in power
who howl for white labor and yet
take no action in stopping the Asia
tic influx or help in making this
country "white" mans country.
We, who have lived here during the
past decade, remember the Anti
Asiatic League, the high sachems Of
which were men like Thurston, Kin
ney, Foster and others. We remem-
ber the grand theories propounded
in that League, and we wept tears
of joy and approval, when an honest
English mechanic in a moment OF
enthusiasm cried out: England has
got Gladstone, her grand old man,
Hawaii has got her grand young
man, Willie Kinney"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

We are all aware that one OF the
main reasons for the ceaseless
clamoring for annexation by our
Government and their supporters,
is the fearful dread that oppresses
them of being wiped out o. political
existence at the next elections.
Rule or ruin being their motto no
wonder that they prefer to pull
down the fabric they have reared SO
long as it falls upon the heads OF
their enemies while it crushes their
own. Even the scorpion stings it,
self to death if it sees no other
chance of avoiding impending
disaster.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

Before the official organs make
their sham crusade for white labor;
before Mr.. Hatch gets the S250,000
to bring Americans here; before
more Portuguese and Germans are
induced to come under the false
pretenses OF the runners for tho
planters and the Government, let it
be plainly explained to all concerned
whether this country under present
conditions is "white mans country
or not"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

The annexation pear Of the late
lamented Stevens must be too awful
ly over ripe by this time for the
United States to swallow. They
probably believe that fruit too over
ripe is hardly worth the eating
when unpleasant consequences are
apt to follow. There has Hawaii,
for the past five years, like one of
Tennyson's harlot-heroines, been
displaying her luscious charms to
Uncle Sam in the most seductive
manner, and yet he won't catch on
worth cent although Merlin gave
way and was called a fool for his
pains. Uncle Sam has the pure
commercial instincts OF our friend
Popcorn who knows that too cheap
a bargain is often a very costly en-
terprise when the books are balanced,
Few OF us can at present realize
the improvements that will take
place in our little island within the
next decade. Glance at them az

We were all full OF anti-Asiatic
feelings at the time, and our cry for
white laborers and white farmers
was loud and persistent, and the
leaders naturally did the loudest
crying The Legislature met. The
measures adopted by the Anti-Asia-
tie League and by the platform of
the political party, which controlled
the election and sent to the Legis-
lature the noisy men, who clamored
against Asiatics, were introduced in
due time and defeated. We did not
hear the sonorous tones OF the anti
Asiatic leaders in the debate on that
floor or elsewhere. "Private busi-
ness" had called them to other lands
aud the Anti-Asiatic League was a
failure.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-13

The Mechanics Union was then
organized, and owing to the exper-
fence of the members OF the Anti
Asiatie League it was decided that
no lawyers, capitalists, preachers or
professional men should be admit
ted. The Union was the back bone
of the National Reform Party, won
the election OF 1890 and hoisted Mr.!
Thurston out OF Office. And again
we were awfully anti-Asiatic, and we
