a Query.
ED. The INDEpENDENT:-

In your corrected topic on "The
Church in Hawaii" you say that
Bishop Willis is dead as regards
his status in the minds of American
churchmen." Do you mean 10 ia
sinuate that the Bishop has not a
leg to stand on since annexation?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-05-31

Stop sulking; listen not to the
treacherous tempters, refuse the
petty bribes offered to you to stay
away from the ballot box. We,
your friends who went to Jail with
you in 1895, and who have suffered
with you in 1898, ask you to go to
the Offices of registration and to the
ballot box, where your power will
be felt. During the last few days
of June the Portuguese will flock
to the Office of the commissioners of
registration, and they will run" the
next Legislature. The American
Congress will meet in December,
and there is no reason to believe
that the Hawaiian question will be
touched until the end of the session
and even then the laws and rule:
made by the next Hawaiian Legis
lature will remain in force for one
or two years at least.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-05-31

The Hawaiians are sulky because
they have been injured and insulted.
They failed to fight and die for
their country because civilization
had taught them not to fight or
bleed when they were face to face
with tha braves who stood behind
the Maxim guns and held chances
of 10 to l against the men armed
with miserable carbines of the
cheapest model. But the people
must get over the "sulks," and the
men who love Hawaii nei must un-
derstand that it is ballots and not
bullets which will count in the here
after. l., every man who loves
Hawaii take any amount OF oaths
for the purpose OF securing vote
at the next election which may re-
suit in Legislature. Let him
swear to support Mr.. Dole and his
republic, and at the same time re-
member that Dole swore to uphold
the monarchy but betrayed Liliuo-
kalani in most cowardly way and
