These principles apply to the
present case with irresistible force
when the special conditions of the
Queens surrender OF her sovereignty
are recalled. She surrendered not
to the provisional government, but
to the United States. She surrend-
cred not absolutely and permanent
ly but temporarily and conditional
ly until such time as the facts could
be considered by the United States.
Furthermore, the provisional gov.
ernment acquiesced in her surrender
in that manner and on those terms,
not only by tacit consent, but
through the positive acts OF some
members Of that government who
urged her peaceable submission, not
merely to avoid bloodshed, but be-
cause she could place implicit re.
lance upon the justice OF the
United States, and that the whole
subject would be fnally considered
at Washington"

The imputation of acquiring these
islands by injusti6able met thodsshas
not been weakened by the lapse OF
time. We have faith that the con.
science Of Congress will assert itself;
that there are enough good men
and true in the Senate and House
to demand halt aud the open con-
sideration OF the scheme to annex
Hawaii. We do not believe that
Americans are ready to substitute
for the starry Union in "the flag of
the free" the skull and cross bones
nf the bucaneer; we believe that
they will not prostitute their un.
questioned power to the forcibe
seizure OF Hawaii as uublushiugly
stated 10 the Star. We hope for
better things from the greatest Re-
public, even though the contrary
op MON has the support OF officials

ANNEXATION - IF NOT, wHYP

The wide difference Of opinion be-
tween this paper and the Star, the
organ of the annexationists, on the
burning question OF the day has led
some OF our readers to ask us for the
reasons for the faith that is in us
when we say that annexation to the
United States is still a remote pos.
sibility in our opinion.

We admit that the sources OF in
formation OF the Star ought to be
as good if not better than our
sources OF information. Evidence is
accumulating that the officials OF
the United States residing here are,
so to say, on the staff of the Star.
We believe that our informants in
the United States are right when
they inform us that the annexation
treaty signed by Mr.. Dole cannot
pass the United States Senate; that
the joint resolution may possibly
pass the House OF Representatives,
but that the Senate will defeat the
scheme TO annex Hawaii; that any
attempt Of the Executive OF the
United States to take forcible pos
session OF Hawaii while the Hawai-
ian question is under consideration
by the Congress of the United States
will be resented by the Senate as a
gross usurpation of power. All this
information we have and believe it
to be as reliable as that OF the Star.
Among the reasons for the faith
that is in us that the United States
will not annex by Congressional
action is best expressed by the
quotation OF the following passages
from President Cleveland's message
to the 53rd Congress, in December,
1893. Said the President:
"As l apprehend the situation, we
are brought face to face with the
following conditions:
"The lawful Government Of Ha-
waii was overthrown without the
drawing OF sword or the firing OF
shot by process every step of
which, il may safely be asserted, is
directly traceable to and dependent
for it's success upon the agency OF
the United States acting through its
diplomatic and naval representa-
tives.
But for the notorious predilec-
tions OF the United States Minister
for annexation, the Committee Of
Safety, which should be called the
Committee OF Annexation, would
never have existed.
"But for the landing OF the United
States forces upon false pretexts re-
specting the danger to life and
property the committee would never
have exposed themselves to the
pains and penalties of treason by
undertaking the subversion OF the
Queens Government.
"But for the presence OF the Unit
ed States forces in the immediate
vicinity and in position to afford all
needed protection and support the
committee would not have proclaim
