GOODBYE HAWAII.

The Hawaiian Islands were annexed
TO the United States OF America on the
9Th Of July, by joint resolution of the
House and Senate. The resolution
was sent to the President on that day
and was undoubtedly signed on tn,
9TH.
As the terms Of the resolution do no
provide for a day in the future wher
the resolution shall take effect, 1t be
comes operative at once, and the sigma
ture of the President is the last ant
final act for the incorporation of thes
Islands into the territorial acquisition
of the United States. 1t is possible
however. that the Government Of tn
United States may, as matter
form only, request the Legislature o
these Islands to put upon record, It,
assent 10 tne TtsOlutloH' ihiS, IL VIZ
sired, will be only a matter Of detail.
The title to the Hawaiian Islands is
now in the United States.
This event is the forseen end of a
long process Of political evolution in
the Pacific ocean. Those in these ISL
ands who have earnestly desired the
coming of the event have been, as
might be expected, governed by differ
ent motives, some by purely selfish
motives, others by the well considered
belief that all classes in the community
would be benefited by it. For, in a
general sense, 1t brings certain
stability to the Government, which is
Of the first, and highest Importance.
No doubt there will be local disorders,
al they occur in other places. But the
foundation rock of good government
will now remain imperishable, though
the structure above 1t may sway and
change.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-07-15

The local policy of this little Nation
now gives way to the larger and indeed
almost imperial policy OF the United
States. This Is as yet incohate, uniform
cd, and in the embryo. But we must
now gracefully yield, as we are pre-.
pared TO, any measures or policies
which have been for our sole benefit
We fall in line with every community
in the United States from Passport,
Maine, to San Diego, California. The
wants and desires of any single com
munity become absorbed in the
wants and desires of the imperial Re.
public, with its 100000 of people.
Now that a freer speech is estab-
lished here, We, the native born, ha-
waiians and Anglo-Hawaiians do not
hesitate to give rein to our sentiments
Of regret that events have forced the
extinction Of our little nationality.
Necessary, wise as it is, We have loved
our little fatherland, and see it go
down in the sea Of political evolution,
with the same feeling of regret that
the father feels as his child abandons
the home OF his youth, sewers for
ever the ties that bind him to his
home life, and moves away, for his
own good, into the wider world beyond.
Some of us lived when this nationality
''struck its beings into bounds" as
civilized Nation. We live to see 1t
close It's career, unimportant as it may
have been. but still crowded with
pleasant memories.
On the stage of national events. the
foot lights grow dim. The curtain is
rung down, and the drama OF Hawaii
is closed forever.

"LUNlNGISIM."

Some days ago, Mr.. J. w. Lunng
called on the Librarian of the Homo
lulu Library, and requested her to pur-
chase lot of books, when he had
taken in pledge from Julian ID. Hayne
of sayory memory. He declared that
the Waverley Club desired them, but he
preferred to sell to the Honolulu Lib
rary. The librarian, on consultation
with several members of the committee
on purchases, declined to take all of
the books, for the simple reason that
Thereupon Mr.. Luning remarked in
substance, that she need not blame
him, If he made 1t hot" for her in
the newspapers.
Soon after, an attack was made on
the library management, by corre-
spondent of the Independent, and the
attack has been repeated.
The offer to sell to the library a
lot of second hand books that We're
not wanted; following the offer with
declaration of making it hot" for
the Librarian in the papers, and n sub
seQuent attack in paper, indicate the
business principles of Mr., Luning: We
do not say that he is the author of
the attack. But the appearance Of

in the immediate vicinity.

Annexation and Drugs.

Druggists are among the people who
will feel the benefits of annexation,
though the public treasury will suffer
correspondingly. 1t is a fact that 81
per cent. of the drugs imported from
the United States pay duty. OF course
that means nearly all. Drugs are sold
here at American standard rates. An
nexation will increase the profits to
drug men and in time will enable a
reduction in prices.

Robert Harris Probably Fatally
 Wounds John Davis.
WAS WITHOUT PROVOCATION
Escape-Occurred in Saloon On Third Avenue-Th Ball Took
 Effect in Right Breast

About Il o'clock last night Robert Harris, a negro rounder who is well known in po- lice circles, shot and probably fatally made his escape.
 The shooting occurred in Adam Towards saloon in Third avenue, and according to the statement of eye witnesses was done without provocation.
 Quite a number of negroes were in the saloon at the time and were standing around the bar, when suddenly Harris called to Ed Chewett to hit Davis, and at the same time drew a 3S-caliber pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the right breast just below the nipple and ranging across the body.
 Harris Escaped
 Harris immediately ran out of the sa- loon and down Third avenue, turning in to the TX. C." saloon situated few doors below. Without stopping he went through the back door of this saloon and escaped through Second alley, going towards Twen- ty-first street.
 Captain Will Wear, of the police depart- ment was on Twentieth street and heard the shot fired. He ran towards Third aye nue ana drTlVeQ at the corner Tn tune to see the fleeing negro run into the "K C." saloon. Two officers who had heard the shooting came up about this time and join ed in the chase. One of the officers ran around through the Nineteenth street en- trance to the alley, and the other went through the saloon. Captain Weir called to the provost guard on Twentieth street to look out for the negro, but no trace of him could be found, he having probably passed out of the alley before the officers arrived.
 Will Prove Fatal
 The wounded negro who works for the Wheelock Roofing company, and bears 0 good reputation, was removed to police headquarters, where City Physician Wild CT attended him. Dr. Wilder was unable in the nasty examination to locate the ax- act course of the bullet, but was of the opinion that the wound would prove fatal and the negro was removed to the home of his sister, in Fifth alley, between Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets
 The entire police department were noti- fled to keep a sharp lookout for Harris, and it is probable that his capture will be effected.
