THE NEW CRY

"Hurrah for the Reciprocity
Treaty-never mind annexation," is
now the cry OF our ardent patriots
who, under Mr.. Dole's regime, have
brought these islands into a very
sad mess.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-06-06

1t was stated by leading politi-
cal fnancier at a meeting OF the
committee of 100, that the reason
for the lavish entertaining OF the
"boys in blue" was not for the pur-
pose OF furthering the annexation
scheme, but simply to cause a good
will in the States, which might save
the Reciprocity Treaty.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-06-06

Had our annexationists only de-
voted their time in efforts to pre-
serve the treaty "goose" which
lays the golden eggs, instead of
chasing the "will. o. -wisp" OF annexa-
tion, the situation in Hawaii would
be far different, and the future Of
these islands would not have been
endangered
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-06-06

The planters organ this morning
goes on its knees ia it's appeal to
the corporations to "dig" the neces-
ssry dross to pay for more potatoes
in mayonaise, more soda water and
more fever producing refresh
ments" tsaye the markD for the
next military expeditions for Manila.
The corporations are reminded of
the great benefits derived by them
through the treaty, which King
Kalakaua secured. They are told
that the people at large are poor,
but that the corporations are rich.
They are informed of the poverty OF
the Government and urged to fur.
nish the funds necessary to stuff the
next batch of "boys in blue" with
unwholesome food. And all in the
name Of the Reciprocity Treaty.
Forsooth, our rulers and their sup
porters have taken a tumble to
themselves and the true annexation
lists look disgusted.

There are many church-going gentlemen
among the members Of the General As

entire membership attend services twice
on Sunday. A few who do not attend re-
liglous exercises during their entire stay
in Richmond.
Some OF the lawmakers spend Sundays
AT their homes and those who stay In
the city as a rule. write long letters 10
their families on the Sabbath.
Every Sunday afternoon one can see
Senators and Delegates in small groups
taking long strolls about the city. Some
often walk quite a distance out into the
country
one Of the most interesting organiza-
lions among the Senators is the Bach

There will evidently be quite "a lively op-
position. but many on the committee
favor the measure All parties Interested
are invited 10 appear.
Mr. Folkcs has been asked why he did
not include State officers. but replies that
the lawyers say that If he did. IL might
be thrown out on its cOnstitutionality and
therefore he is after those whom he
thinks ne can surely reach and will try
to reach State officers another time lie
SAYS that he can see no reason why a
public officer should be exempted more
than an engineer. fireman or any other
laboring man. If you are going to eX-
empt one exempt all. is his advice. He
is opposed TO many things that are al
lowed under the present system of credi-
tor and debtor laws and especially the as
signment laws. lie continually harps
upon the legal members of the House for
better legislation along this line.
