THE PAST YEAR.
During the past year the Hawaiian
community has twice been called upon
to mourn the death of members of the
last royal line of the monarchy; Her
late Majesty Queen Dowager Kapiolani,
widow of His late Majesty King Kala-
kaua, and Her late Royal Highness Prin-
cess Kaiulani, daughter of Her late Roy
al Hghness Princess Likelike and the
Honorable Archibald S. Cleghorn.
State obsequles were rendered to the
remains of both of these esteemed Aliis.
and the mourning for them by all
classes and nationalties was general
and sincere.
Public feeling was deeply aroused by
the death of Princess Kaiulani. Her
beauty and charm, the romantic Incl
dents of her short life in connection with
her brilliant political prospects as heress
presumptive to the Hawaiian throne, and
their Illustration by no fault of hers, her
brave acceptance of the new and difficult
situation, and the tact and sincerity she
displayed in her changed relations with
the Government and the people, had won
for her a widespread interest and the
respect and regard OF the community.
Her sudden death, coming when she had
indicated her superiority to circum-
stances, and had with sweetness and
genteneSS turned ner leet TO the num-
bier life, feeling that the best things
We're still hers to live for, and people
We're fast recognizing her nobility OF
character, was most pathetic and at
the same time most favorable to the
permanence of tender and affectionate
memories of her life and personal quail
ties.
In inaugurating local legislation for
Hawaii nel in it's new political depart
ure, you hold a most conspicuous posi-
tion before present and future genera
tons, and one probably of unusual in
fiuence.
The past with its records of success
and failure @annot be changed. You
may go to it for lessons, but your work
is for the future. You can hardly fall
in your legislative procedure to make i'm
portant presidents. 1t Is in your power
to create useful or Injurious ones. When
the people of the future years shall talk
about the first Legislature Of the Terri
tory of Hawaii, the first Hawaiian Leg
islature of the twentieth century, their
verdict of your work will be such as
you now lay the foundations for.
