NO CALAMITY HOWLERS.
Discourage the calamity howlers.
True things have not gone as could
nave been wished but our commercial
integrity and industrial progress should
not be vitiated or impeded by a little
thing like this. The Islands have a
bright future before them, if we do not
lose hope, and the brains, wealth and
self respect of the better class on the
Islands will make everything all right,
if we will consent to forget our per-
sonal and party antagonisms and stand
together as the independents have
shown us how men can stand together
when dominated with one leading idea
or principle.
HARMONY NEEDED.
If it comes to a question of wheth-
or the Hawaiian or the white man is
10 dominate the future of the Islands, |
there can be but one answer. But if
the people of the Islands are wise, |
they will avoid this issue, and endeav- |
or to unite the best elements on the |
Islands into one harmonious whole,
