Another peculiar feature connect
ed with the election is that the
House elected five members out Of
it's own body to serve as Councillors
OF State. II the Senate adopted the
same plan, the Council Of State will
simply be a standing committee OF
the Legislature, in session after the
regular adjournment OF that body.
That was not the intention OF the
trainers OF the Constitution, who
believed in Council OF State, com
posed Of the most conservative aud
responsible men Of the country, to
whom could be loft al matters OF
emergency to be dealt with wisely
and fairly.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

The people are entitled to have
some Information on this subject
even II The INDEPENDENT alone dare
to ask for it, 1t is asked for pub
licly, for we are not satisfied with
what we have reason to believe is
the so-called policy of the Govern
ment on this very important matter,
and fully believing that annexation
is impracticable for many months
il not years to- come.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

With government at the head OF
affairs which has already sustained
some six or seven defeats in the
Legislature, equivalent in their esti-
mation-had they been in opposi-
tion--to severe votes Of censure and
want of confidence, what reliance
can the people place in their inten-
tions or policy since their rule has
been one OF continued laundering
from the day they forcibly assumed
power until this very hour
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

Surely there must be some sensi-
BILE, and let us say at least sel6shly
patriotic, Senator or Representative
who has the moral and physical
courage to put the following simple
question to the Government in order
to allay the uncomfortable impress
sions that are abroad of the utter
inconpetency of the Executive to
deal with the important situation
now confronting us.

Such statement coming from the
most prominent member OF an ad.
uinistratiou, pledged to annexation,
shows conclusively. that the Govern
ment has finally abandoned all
hopes of closer union with America
and now simply considers the future
OF Hawaii in connection with the
independence Of the country.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

Oficially-that is to say by the
Government we are in law, and by
force mqjeure, compelled to recognize
as such-we have consented to our
marriage with the United States,
but that power has unotficially de-
cliued to espouse us and appears to
be very reluctant to even take the
matter into serious consideration,
and the more the subject is ap-
preached the more reluctant Uncle
Sam becomes.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

Are they to be permitted to sacri
flee our lives and property in the
fatuous hope that, by counting an
attack from Spanish war vessels
upon these defenceless islands
through open or covert breaches Of
the neutrality laws, the United
States will annex us merely to carry
out the wishes OF a few plutocrats
and the secret syndicates that are
pulling the annexation wires here
and in the United States?

"The sugar trust pretends to be
alarmed lest the Government should
"seize" Hawaii. But the Govern
ment won't. When it wants Hawaii,
as it probably will pretty soon, Con
gress will merely accept it as gift.

THE NEUTRALITY OF HAWAII

In view OF the bellicose attitude
Of our great and good neighbor, to
whom our oligarchical republicans
ara so anxious to ally us contrary to
the will of the majority Of the peo-
pie, is it not about time that we con-
sidered little our own delicate
position.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

The most significant point in the
election was tbe attitude If Minister
Damon, who represented the Gov
ernment in the House. Mr.. Damon.
ia nominating Mr.. S. K. Kane, an
outgoing Councillor urged the cleo
tion OF men who wer. Hawaiians in
thought, sentiment and principle
He wanted men wto loue NJ" f'g and
HawaH because ii is BaWaii
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

All possible credit to Mr.. Damon
who, ignoring the clamor of the
irresponsible jingoes, openly states
his position as an honest, earnest
patriot of the land, which gave him
birth, and OF which no has proved
himself noble and faithful son.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-29

No one knows better than the Ex-
ecutive the risks that the Govern
ment is incurring, individually and
collectively, by a policy whieh is
equivalent to trusting everything to
the blind chance Of an improbable
almost impossible

Had the President and Congress
Of the United States the remotest
thought OF annexing these islands as
a protective or war measure some
action would have been taken be-
fore now, and Admiral Miller would
have been retained at his post here
and the force under his command
strengthened instead OF being weak
ened, or, at any events, some indica-
tion of such an intention would have
been received by the Government
from Washington, and such, we have
been reliably informed, is not the
case.

Practically, we are in the position
Of the man who claimed that he

Mining, in general, in the territory, Is
increasing with rapldity which is ex.

portance of the industry as a New Mex
leo resource. The values of alhproper-
ties of note are being enhanced by devel-
opment and the attention of outside
capital is turning this way. Surer
profits and lesser degree of chance are
the inevitable result of development in
New Mexico mining regions, while the
opportunities offered are far superior to
those of other western localities. A
