Growth of Annexation Sentiment, 1854.

States Commissioner. returned to the
United States in December. 1858. and
was succeeded by Hon. D. L. Gregg Of
Illinois. who arrived in Honolulu jan
uary 6, 1854.
Meanwhile the sentiment in favor of
annexation seems to have been grow
ing in strength. Three-fourths of the
business was in the hands of Ameri-
cans, and the chief market of the Is
lands was then as now the Pacific
Coast of the United States. The hope
of it stimulated speculation, and led
to new enterprises. some of which
were afterwards abandoned.
The fearful decrease of the native
population fseveral thousands OF
whom had been carried off by the
fatal epidemic of 1859. the rapid ex-
tinction of the order of the chiefs,
who were the natural leaders of their
race: the relapse of the King into
habits of gross intemperance. and the
perils from without overhanging the
feeble government, disheartened many
true friends of the nation. and led
them to favor the preliminary steps
then taken toward annexation. The
objections of the missionaries to that
measure have already been stated.
They feared that the rights of the ma
tives might De trampled upon, and
their interests sacrificed A new and
liberal constitution had just been
adopted lin 1882. and they fondly
hoped that the natives would soon
learn how to use their Refrigerated
lands and. political rights.
The Ministry. as a whole, favored
annexation, but Mr. Wyllie acquiesced
in 1t unwillingly. and only as last
resort. in the case OF an emergency
During the two following reigns he
developed a decided antipathy to
American influence. and American
ideas.
The King, however, strongly favored
annexation He had long been harass-
ed by the threats OF foreign powers;
ne had once been dethroned by Brit
ISL naval force: he had repeatedly
been compelled TO make Illuminating
concessions at the lannon's mouth; he
had recently seen his fort disuantled
and his beautiful yacht carried OFF
and his difficulties with France still
remained unsettled. At the same
time he was kept in a state of alarm
by rumors of f1ibusters from abroad
and threats of conspirators at home
to overturn his government. He was
grateful for the constant and generou:

friendship of the United States. and
for the benefits which his people had
received from American citizens.
Besides, he had reason to expect for
himself and his chiefs a sum equal
to the revenue of his kingdom. and
for his people all the rights Of a free
State in the Union. AS far as is
known, most of the high chiefs agreed
with him.
The heir apparent, Prince Alexander
Lffloliho, however, was at heart OPP
posed to the treaty, and interposed
every possible delay to its completion.

Negotiation of the Treaty.
In February, 1854, the matter took
more definite shape. On the 9Th OF

triumph? What chance have they with their raw, crude methods of fighting hack drivers and kicking policemen's shfns and punching sickly walters with large families, of even qualifying for a notice in future editions of Whose Stew in America? I'm ashamed to con fess 1t to you, Larry, but the great ma Jority of our native under grads ought only to be allowed to get corned on Amateur Night Do you see any sen iors at large who would impress you as even knowing the rudiments of the science, such as how to enter and leave barroom properly; how to eat free lunch stendlng; how to avoid tripping over the cuspidor or allowing the feet to become entangled in the brass rail2 You do strike a man sometimes who impresses you as being the man who wrote the words and music of getting bunned. But the person who looks like the original author of the great work is rarely or never a collegian. Hes more apt to be an actor. There's a great chance for reform there.
 And surely something ought to be done to raise the standard of hazing-a field that is ripe in possibilities, yet one where really nothing strangely original has been done since the members of an Ohio secret society tied a candidate to the tracks three years ago and let a freight train hit him. We plainly feel the need also of a proper course of college instruction in breeding bull dogs and one in yells, glees and loud outcries and one in getting acquainted with chorus girls and one in turning the trousers fur ther up at the bottom and surely one for showing better methods of carrying the briarwood pipe in the face. Many seniors now leave off the pipe altogether while asleep at night; whereas 1t ought to be worn constantly, to acquire the right bouquet and give the lower jaw that strong Toll or droop, like the King of Spain. Certainly also there ought to be some organized movement on the part of the colleges to elevate the students taste in clothes, for despite all that's been done along this line by the best varsity <<tailors the students at some of the smaller and more oldfashioned col leges still persist in wearing garments that are almost human. They even buy those which are labelled hobby an ob- solete term now entirely supplanted in the best college towns by the newer and classier word, 'snappy.' This should not be permitted longer. But most of all, Larry, I think we need a system of education that will discourage the up- start sons of the poor from working their way through college and maybe taking degrees away from the heirs to millions of dollars, splendid sappy young men who own their own automobiles and tutors. Let us keep the lower classes in their proper place, by all means.
 ''If you had boy, would you send him to a big rich college?' asked the House Detective.
 Not if I could get him admitted to any other kind of an institution" said the Hotel Clerk.
