CRAWLING OUT.

At Iast the Ady*riiitr comes out opeu!y aad sympathizes witb the men who do uot want annexatbn but who Jo believe in the present oligarchv. Mr. Magoon has been the onlv prominent supporter of tue government who Las openly stateJ that he cannot support the anuexation scherae while he at the ! same time mustereJ as an active 1 snpporter of tho Kepnhlie. AnJ he was the only oue ! It was well knowu to ns and to the ; community at iarge that the capitalists ot this connlry fnllv j approved of Mr. Magoon’s anti- j aunexatiou views, but uot one of them dared to eoiue to the front anJ express their honost opinion. TLe annexatiou scheuie has : j simply beeu used as a political I piopeller. The masses may honestly and earnestly Jesire to be accopted intothoAmerican Union. The rulers never wanted it. Put as raany planks in your platforms as you Jesire gentlemen! The “planke” do no hann aud tbe principles unJerlyiug j theai will never matorialize. Tho ■ | present government wants to be I a ”governmeut” and as long as they are tbere their object is ati taineJ. The Star undoubtedly reprei sents tbe trae annexationists—auJ there are a few—and it is now the object of tbe Iecturing auJ scolJing of the official organ. If the Hawaiiaus ean seeuo other way to get popnlar government, | they niay yet some Jay step for- i ward anJ ask for anuexation. Then it will be granteJ auJ then 1 the present oligarchy and Mr. Armstrong will feel —sick.
