A prominent Japanese citizen who
has been watching events here on
behalf of his countrymen said this
morning: "As soon as the American
flag is hoisted and these Islands are
annexed, all the Japanese plantation
laborers will make an immediate de-
mand for raise in wages. They
will insist in getting $25 month.
Their demands will be refused, be-
cause the planters believe that even
in case of annexation the existing
labor contracts will remain in force
until they expire by lapse of time.
We will arrange that a number OF
men who will refuse to work will be
arrested and sentenced to imprison-
ment under the penal clause OF our
existing labor laws. Then we will
appeal, and bring the matter before
the United States Supreme Court,
and If that body has any regard for
the constitution of their own coun-
try, it will never allow slavery by
sending man to jail for refusing to
work. We have got plenty Of money
to fight the battle. The planters
may have money enough to buy
Congress; we have money enough
to buy the best legal advice in the
world"

Are our "annexationists" aware of
what will happen when the Amer
lean flag is hoisted over Hawaii to
stay, and the constitution of the
United States becomes the supreme
law OF the country9 Do our friends
in the Custom House and Post
Office realize, that they will be
walking the streets as soon as annex
alton is accomplished, because those
two departments will necessarily
come under the federal government
at once. Have our dear planters yet
to learn that all laws now existing
in Hawaii will remain in force until
permanent government has been
established (by Judge Frear) encept
such laws, which clash with the pro-
visions of the United States.
