nv Continental friends, must ask you
70 keep your meddlesome fingers out OF
this Spanish-American war. i may as
well be candid with all OF you and tell
you that am ready to stand at Uncle
Sans back and really 1t viii be better
for you if you don't monkey with eur
combination buzz saw. For IL you DO
If you combine against America, then.
by the God of Nations, England will
combine with her, and
wherever we come. we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall reel and
rock,
For they are lords OF strong young
land
And we are lords of the MAN,"
These re-cemented ties of Anglo
Saxon union will, / hope, never again
be severed, and together the English
speaking nations will lead and rule the
world. Rule it not as one nation put
as one force-rule il for progressi rule
it for Justice; rule IL for freedom; rule
il for Christian civilization.
Every patriotic Englishman should
celebrate the Fourth of July with
heartfelt enthusiasm, not on our ac-
count, but on his own. AS Lord Dun
dreary remarks, the reason why dog
wags it's tail is because the dog Is
bigger than the tail. Otherwise the tail
would wag the dog. The most popl-
lous town usually captures the county
seat sooner or later. II we had never
achieved our independence, II this coun-
try had remained a part OF the British
Empire, we would by this time have
moved the Parliament Houses 10 this
side OF the Atlantic; the steamship
lines would have lost the patronage OF
sea-sick American heiresses seeking
titled husbands. for there would have
been a choice line of Boston Dukes and
Buffalo Earls sufficient to supply the
local matrimonial market, and the
coronation OF Edward the Seventh
might have taken place at Chicago.
In the grand future OF our country
f these islands will have a share. Whe
steamship lines between the Orient and
/ the Antipodes and the mainland. which
/ now touch at our wharVes. will, when
the Nicaragua canal shall be con-
structed, be reinforced by white winged
fleets. The commerce OF the vast clip
tic of the seas which surge from the
Arctic to the Antarctic, and which
wash the eastern and western shores
of a hemisphere will pay tribute 60
US, and, with the development OF our
own potential resources, will make our
cities as opulent as they now are
beautiful.
Let us adjust our thoughts and our
efforts to this grand destiny. Let us go
( forward with IL. help IL to advance and
not retard IL by nursing unwise and
unjust and unnecessary pre1udices and
aniInosities, epgendered by events that
are past and gone.
There ia no State or Territory of the
Union so free as is Hawaii from race
and caste distinctions. Let us not fOs-
ter policies and passions that tend "a
create such. Let US not establish q
policy OF dissatisfaction with American
institutions or OF alienation from the
American flag.
II is Hawaii's flag now, and no man
need be ashamed to claim 1t and honor
IL.
It is the flag of people who will not
be terrified by the noise of the pofiti-
, cal Anarch of the day who thinks thai
) he is roaring and shaking his manC
where he is only braying and showing
, mis- ears The duty that confronts ms
. we viii not shirk The destiny tina
: awaits us we will not avoid. We have
!, marched on and on in the vanguard
r OF progress and freedom for all thes'
: years, and not now will we skulk to tn
rear. wherever our soldiers and soil
{, ors have planted the flag in faith anc
= honor. there il shall stay.
