THE IMPERIAL BIRTH DAY.

The Japanese now form about
oue-third, il not more, of the total
population OF the Hawaiian Islands.
Consequently it is only natural for
us to take deep interest in the iu-
cidents which interest them. To-day
were joice with them on the anniyer-
sary of the birth of their distinguished
ruler, their Emperor Mutsuhito, and
heartily congratulate them upon
the splendid and wonderful progress
made by their country during his
wise and benefcient reign. AS we
watch, in our midst in this city, the
painstaking efforts of his subjects to
acquire an intimate knowledge Of
Anglo Saxon ideas and language we
feel constrained to close our eyes
and drift into dreamland through
which passes in review the pos
sibilities and probabilities Of this
curious, patient and energetic race
which, wherever it goes, climbs over
or undermines obstacles like the
neyer-tiring, never-defeated little
ant. The intelligence, indomitable
energy and undaunted courage of
the little brown men will play an
important part in writing the his
tory Of the future in the Orient. In
the interest OF commercial progress,
civilization and peace it will be to
the advantage OF the world at large
that they should be the warm
friends and firm allies Of the Anglo
Saxon forces We heartily join with
you to-day, Mr.. Consul, in the toast
to His Imperial Majesty, the Em-
peror."

while the Hawaiians never have done
so; and there is good reason to be-
lieve that had they been permitted
to vote on The question of annexation
they would have declared against
it by an overwhelming majority.
As it has been clearly proven that
there is no provision OF the con-
stitution authorizing the passage by
Congress Of the joint resolution in
question, and as it is a complete
departure from the settled practice
and policy of our Government in the
acquisition OF territory, the writer
feels perfectly justified in expressing
the opinion that the action Of Con-
gress in this matter is manifestly
unconstitutional, and therefore,
null and void; and he has no doubt
that the Supreme Court will so
decide if the question should ever
be brought before it for adjudi-
cation.

AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.

We are inclined to agree with the
stranger who was within our gates,
but who left yesterday after taking
copious notes of the conduct Of our
Government since Absorption Day +.
On being asked what he thought of
the chances of our being satisfied
with congressional action on our
future form OF government he re-
piled: THAT, | cannot tell, but |
can tell you this much. 1t will not
be wise for Congress to permit any
OF your present rulers to remain in
office, for they have shown such an
amazing lack OF tact and discretion
as to prove their thorough incom-
patibility with and inane unintelli
gence of American ideas and prin.
ciples. You will require good,
and strong man, stranger to you
and thoroughbred American as
your Governor, to re-instil into the
minds OF the American elements
that they are Americans and must
act up to American principles, and
to teach all others that they are in
an American country and must
govern themselves in accordance
with American precepts and in
stitutions. We have absorbed you
not merely from kindly and generous
motives but as a necessity for our
future protection and development.
You cannot go on living selfshly to
promote your own ends, and to make
this as you call it Planters Para.
disc You will have to come down
to business basis on American
principles, and the soDner you do it,
OF your own accord, the better it
will be for you; for we shall COM
pei you to do as we wish and not
as you desire"

Annexation Unconstitutional andl.

(From the Green Bag
To support the writer's contention
that the vast majority of Hawaiians
have no desire to become citizens of
the United States, he will refer to
the fact that out of a total
population OF more than one hundred
thousand persons, less than three
thousand have been consulted in the
matter; and at least thirty thousand
natives have never given their con-
sent to this action on the part OF
Congress.
The question is now presented to
the citizens of the United States
whether or not Congress have the
power to annex a foreign nation as
territory without first obtaining the
consent OF it's people. II they do
possess this extraordinary authority,
from what source does it flow, and
what, il any, are its limitations? Ii
Hawaii can be annexed in this
manner, why may not England,
France, or any other nation on the
globe be also likewise annexed.
Nothing can be more self-evident
than that such radical departure
from the settled policy Of our
Government as this is, never could
have been contemplated by the men
who framed our constitution; and it
is also perfectly clear that there is
no analogy between the admission
OF Texas into the Union as a State,
and the annexation of Hawaii as a
Territory by joint resolution of
Congress-; for the Texans had
repeatedly expressed their desire to
become citizens ofthe United States,

THOSE BONDS.


The virtuous government OF Mr..
Dole has received black eye from
the community, by the failure OF its
supporters to subscribe to the new
bond issue. Mr.. Dole expected that
the new bonds would sell at big
premium, and that the demand for
them would far exceed the limit OF
the issue. The pious crowd which
has furnished Mr.. Dole with moral
support was not ready, however, to
put up the shekels for the use OF
government, which has virtually be-
come defuuct and has committed sui
eide. To the great surprise of Mr..
Dole and his factotum, Mr.. Smith,
the people did not respond kindly
to the assurance OF the learned
Attorney General that "the status OF
these bonds is, that they will be the
bonds Of the Government of the Ha-
waiian Islands, and their security
will be the good faith of such gov
ernment." Mr., Smith does not
state what government he refers to,
and what the security offered is
worth. With the exception of Mr..
Irwin's purchase no amount of
bonds was subscribed, and Mr.. Irwin
can afford to take chances, even on
paper secured only by the good
faith" Of Mr.. Dole's successors, AS
far as the country is concerned, it is
fortunate that Mr. Damon, through
his wise fnanciering has sufficient
funds to carry on the government
irres pective of the loan funds.
When the day comes, when Mr..
Dole is asked to turn over the pre-
sent government, the United States
will fiud a fair balance sheet and
well-flled treasury. We are all
aware that the "pious" men refused
to buy the new Government bonds,
because they hoped to corner" the
present regime aud embarrass the
Minister OF Finance. The pious
men are booming the proposed
national bank and investing
their money there, while they
hope to see the ship of state
stranded on financial rocks. We are
glad to see that Dole & Co. have got
lesson in political friendships and
have been made to realize that The
INDEPENDENT has always been right
in denouncing the psalm-singing,
hypocritical missionary clique as
composed of grossl y selfish, and un-
reliable men. The refusal to sub
scribe for the new bonds, and the
hostile attitude towards the issue of
a Senator, who has been the main
stay Of the Dole Government, is vir-
tually an expression OF want of con-
fidence in the administration. Was
it not for Damon's financial policy
and resources the Dole Government
would come to the ground with
dull and sickepiug thud.

Change of Air.

This being the period OF the year
when we are all more or less feeling
the necessity for change, and are
medilating a visit to seaside or inland
places, few words of warning and
advice may not be out of place.
Much depends upon the selection of a
spot to spend ones holiday for the
benefits or the reverses that may re-
suit from the change, and fathers and,
equally, of course, mothers would do
well to study this question a little
closely before making up their minds
where to betake themselves and their
families. Highly nervous persons,
the victims OF hypochondria, those
suffering from excessive brain work
above all, those in whom these condi-
tons are found in conjunction should
not, as a general rule, be advised to
try the seaside. A quiet inland To-
cality or some billy spot of moderate
elevation will be found to suit their
cases better. The ceaseless beat of
the sea waves is mentally depressing,
while the highly strung, nervous pa
tent is irritated instead of being
braced up by the stimulating effects
OF the sea air. Those who are Just re-
covering from a serious illness should
not be sent prematurely to the sea-
side; but after convalescence nothing
conduces more to complete cure than
a resort to one of the many watering
places. To those, however, who are
meditating a change for the sake of
change of air and to get themselves
into condition again after long
spell OF monotonous work. and who
are otherwise sound and we'll, we
know of no better or more beneficial
way of spending a holiday than by
the seaside, unless it is to spend it on
the sea.

History OF the Stars and Stripes.

In the earlier battles Of the Revolu.
tionary War other flags were used.
But soon the idea of lone" flag APP
peared proper and necessary for a
united people. That one which our
boys and girls are so fond of waving
was made by woman in Philadel-
phia, named Betsy Ross, at the re-
quest of General Washington.
On the I4th of June, 1875, the Con
tinental Congress resolved 'that the
flag Of the thirteen united states be
thirteen stripes, alternately red
and white, and that the union be
thirteen stars on blue field, repre-
senting new constellation. Janu-
airy 10, 1894, it was enacted that from
and after the Ist of May, 1913, the
flag of the United States be fifteen
stripes, alternately red aud white, and
that the union be fifteen stars"
This was the national flag during
the War OF 1872. On the 4th of April,
1918, the flag was again changed to
thirteen stripes, and one star for every
state in the Union. Our boys and
girls should carefully store up these
facts in their minds. --Pittsburg Re-

1.-THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER +"
How II Was Written.

OuE afternoon IN SepIeuADcis ANA4s
in our second war with Great Britain,
party of Baltimore gentlemen,
grieved at the defeat OF the American
troops at Ncrth Point, met together
in an old house Of Upper Marlborough
and there formed plan for capturing
some Of the British soldiers who
would pass through the village that
night. Meanwhile the main body Of
the British army had gone on to a
point some distance beyond.
Their plan was SO well laid that
they actually took over twenty men
prisoners and put them in "durance
vile. News OF this attack was, how
ever, carried to the British fleet be-
yond by one man who contrived his
escape. ard the tables were unexpect-
eddy turned. A detachment Of Brit
ishers descended on the village, COM
PEELED the Liberation of the English
soldiers, and took as their prisoners
the gentlemen who had planned the
capture.
Angered by what they considered
violation Of the rules of war, the Brit
ish colonel in command refused to al
low the gentlemen, who were all
asleep in their beds, time even to
dress. They were placed on horse
lack and carried to British ship,
booted and jeered at, DR.. Beans, with
whom the idea of capture had origi-
mated being especially insulted. A
day or two later, all but the poor doc
tor were set free, but he was detained
as a valuable prize worthy of taking
back to England
Meanwhile his friends in Baltimore
went to work with hearty will to
obtain his release, and as he had been
known on more than one occasion to
have treated wounded British soldiers
with great kindness, his niece, a girl
OF eighteen, ventured herself to write
strong appeal to the English officer
in command of the feet. She sue
ceeded in persuading Mr.. Francis S.
Key to take the letter with a flag OF
truce, and the young man, procuring
small boat and permission to use the
white flag, set out He boarded the
admiral's vessel in safety, but found
preparations for the bombardment of
Fort McHenry in full swing, and, as
a consequence, he was detained by
Admiral Cockburu's orders.
1t was a moment of most critical
importance, for with the fall of Nc
Henry, Baltimore's doom was sealed !;
and we can easily fancy Mr.. Keys
feelings as from the English flagship
he watched during the long hours of
that day and night the furious on
slaught upon the fort So long as
daylight lasted. he could scarcely take
his eyes from the flag floating from
the fort, and with feverish anxiety he
hailed the ''dawn's early light" The
first break of day showed him his
country's flag proudly floating to the
breeze, and in the first enthusiasm
