l»r. B*)wcn who It*fi bv the Auetralia ex{>ressed himself as very miieh annoyed by the publication ot mn aLege«i interview with him in the AHvertiser. The D.x;t*)r elain.e I that he «ae fals*dy re{K>rted ail thr >ugh and es}>eciaHy disliked the untrue reference to his visit t.) the Queen. The ch iraoters of the Advert aer aod the St.ir f-r lying «nd falsifving are getting very mueh rec -gn!Z(*d by Tisitnrs t> Hawaii, but they all regret tho experience whieh it C 'sts them. before they find out the true nalure of the I>easts. The followers of the I*. G. who howl the loudesl for annexation are h ginning to tVel themselves confronted vith more than one solvtion uf the pr*'b!em that they hav« asserled could only have one 8olution—annexatiou. ln their terror and wrath at nnding it wilhin the bounds of possibility that they niay he mislaken, some of the more idiotic nublicly express themselves iu the most fo»lish way. Not eontent wilh asserting that Araerica eannol and wili not restore the D)onarcby, and cor.sidering themaelves. evidently, not alone the owners and controllers of the destiaiea of the government of this country, but of that of Amenea a!so, they proceed to assert that Presideut Cleveland dare uot restore the Queen; that if he dare<l he would be put out of office. That Comnuspioner Blount dare not recommend such a cour»e, or take psrt in such actiou. and that if, in apite of all, thoae gentlemen did restore Her Majesty that they (the blathering idiots aforesaid) would, althongh Aiuericans, Uke up arms against the forces of their own nation to prevent such a disagreeahle c)nsumraation to them. The Star and its weaker eeho, the Advertiser, tirst tried to cajoIe the Hawaiian» into snp{»orting annexation, when they found that anneiHlion could not Ih.* obtained. e*cej>t by the consent and at the wish of these same nutive Hawaiiaus, by telling them that the oreiguers would aak nothing for themselvvs that they would not aU-) aak f->r the onee despise*i Hawaiian. But the snare was too patent and uet a bird wa» entrapped. Then, fur a time. ihe old refrain froro Dickens* Old Curiosity Shop was introduced—“Codlm’s the friend, and not Short” —D*>n’t listen to the Koyalists, nearxen to the annexationists,they are your friends. But the native Hawaiian was not to be f*Ql*d and,8uuply to«)k a double sigbt «t tbeautiquated channers by exteuding the fingers of both hands from the tip of his nasal orgaiv whi’e whistling Listen to the Mockiug-Bird." N*»w, however, cot content with their former iUsu*x-ess at the jn*oritrr »« wo.ie style *>f attracting Haitaiians to the ever-blessed annexmiionist fold. the Star has evolved, no doubt after mueh labor with the pestle aud morter, the following atoombtngr hhie ephien they preeent to ihe Haeaiian. to awallow as a cure for the ills whieh annexatioo will br»og him. 'Thi* brand-new rem«dy, or cure-all, is*to Uke the Crown Lande and c4t ihem into homesteads, and give tbe Ant ehoiee of theee to the Dtlive Hawaiian who haaa*t got anj laod oow- Whhoni regardlng the fact that kbe Crown Landa are

neither their» to g ; .ve now, nor •will be hereafter, if the country is annexed, and that the unaophialicat«d Hawaiian knows this f«ct better ihan they ean tell him the main ooint to be looked at is wbat valoe is there in a proposition * whieh requires lwauty or thirty years f>>r its Prelty ncariy all the Crown Lauds in the Country aro under iease. and must of the leases have twenty or thirty years to run. And uo governineut, whether the P. G., or appointed i»y the Uuited Statea. aill dare to eaneel those ieases or eonAaeale that property witbout the lessees’ consent first had and obtained. aod as th*se are vai*iable properties that tbey will never obtaiu. So the St«r’s famous pill narrows ilse!f d<>wn to tuis; Give your eonsent t«> the sale. by those who have ~e zed itby fraud and force, of }0 ir own and your childreu’s b;rthrights now, and we (who havn’t the slightest particle of authority to say so) will promise that in twenty or thirty years to eome if you haven’t any land, you will be given a kuleana wh : ch you ean reaide on. but CHimot sell for at l«ast thirty years afterwards, and whieh may not be big enough to maae a living of!’, and may bs will be selected in as far reraoved a spot in the hills or mountains that ean befound, that your presence may not contaminate the Star’s blueblooded associates. And for that they want the natives to accept annexation. Sugir-coal your naxt pill if you want it swallowed. The Star and the Advertiser affirm daily that the provisional governraent. will remain in power until annexation is accomplished even if that s . u ! d not haj p n f r four years. —It is evidsnt ttiat the annsxationists are expecting and boping for thedefeat of the Democratic party at the eleelion in 1896, and that they believe that a Repuhliean adrainistratiou would reopen the question of annexation if it is shelved by President Cleveland —\Vhat childish ai.d ridiculou» delus'ons the two mentioned papers are existing underl —The pr»visional government will remam in power for four years b!*ck>*d by the annexation cluband the military forces. Ye Gode and little fishesl what a b.icking for »ny g >vernment! Do these innoC3nt editors of the governments subsidized organ reallv beheve that such a plan would be feasible and that there is anv intention on the part of the governraent itself even to undertake such a task. — No government an_ywhere in the world ean exist against the will of the people and Hawaii is no eieepliou—and when refusal toannex by the United States comes, the annexal : onists and their club ean rest assured that a stable and settled government according to tbe wishes of the people will be esUblished, even f! it does not suit theclub. The United States never do things by halves and thej are gre»t enough to admit when they are in the wrong and to correct tbair arror. t If the ambitioos proviaional councillors believe that they are “in it” for the uext four year» tbev better disabase th«ir minds 1 of such ideas or they will get dis1 appointed. Besides the Kepuhliean» will not win the election in 1896. i Now the peopie of this coontry i know whst we are to expect if tbe Unitad 8Utas (oannnu. ; We are to hare Ihe pimnl P. 6. » fbr foar ycar».

The kiud of hacking they have had from the uiihtary while the case ia slill | pending bef>re the United j States, i» still fre?h \n the I minds of the pe»vple. What kind of backingit will develop into when they have no fear of being interfered witb by any fore!gn power, peoole ean gacss. lf the Mar a j ineane pr«'ject ie cirried oul. of i having the P. G. f>r four yej»rs more, it will re9ult m a military worse th.tn that of any of tbe Centnl and Soulh American Hepuhliea. It is not often we agree w:th the Advertiser and we hasten to exonr agreement on th:s oeoasion ae it ahow? that the editor ot‘ that paper. tf hecontinues to peru9e the Holomua carefully, will ultimately be a worker in the eauae of truth and g«>od g>>vernment. This is what he says yesterday: “An oligarehj’ is as impossib!e a< it would be unjust aud undtsirable and an indcpendent republic with a general suflVage wou!d rival a dance of devi!s in Pandemonium. ” Shake, brother, shake. We are with you. An oligarohy—that is the present P. G.—is as impossib!e as it is unjust, and undesir.ible and an independent repubhc with eny variety of sutfrsge, would indeed be a wnrse condition than the infernal scenea enaoted in France under Robespierre. Keep it up and we shall }’et stand on one platform fighting for bonesty, truth. and good government. At last the mask has dropped — the truth has been apoken—the feline quadruped heen permitted to escape from the portmanteau in whieh it was contained. The Advertiser of yeeterday, gives away the whole secret of the revolution. These are its words (the itaiics are ours): “It was the hope of achieving annexation to the United Stat?9 whieh iuade the revo!ution, aud without that hope no Jinger icould have heen lifted" It was uot for the sike of good governraent. It was uot the iottery bill (they h td signed the petitu>ns lor that theraselves.) It was not the ooium bill (that they believed in). It was not that the Queen attempte.j to have a new Constitution promulgated (for that had been abandoned and assurances given tothe f>reign representatives and-the peoplegenerally that Her Cabinet wotrfd see that no further attempts were made). It was not danger to life, and property (f<*r there was uo danger. either present, irnminent or to eome). It waa neither one, any, nor all of thealleg'*d rea«ons whieh hitherto the Advertiscr and its clique have endeavored to palm off on the outside world. The one sole eauae was the desire of certain parties here for aunex«tion to the United Stutes, without whieh. and‘ backed by tbe U. S. forces and the pledges of the U. S. Minister Resident, aa the Adver iser trnthfully aays, “no finger would have been lifted.” Why did then people desire annexation to the United States? Waa it patriotism? 0r was it pelf? Obvioasly the latter fbr when tha Kxaminer sent down ita repre*entative from S*n Franc!soo to question thera as to tbeir views on proprietv of anoexation they «11 h*stened to deny that they wanted *nnex*tion. They knew if 4hey »nawered otherwi»e it voold kill them politic*Uy. Tet fbrthe aake of their gu»T* jelly aad their otnwd pineapplee, with

For ! tbe sake uf * few pr>>ape<’tive Idoiiars they have c*use»i «1! ih s extr*vagant iuilitary expenditure »nd consequent financial confusi»n t<> the comiuunsty at I«rge “And they shall reoeive their reward.” We have paid very iittle attention to the wonderful repi>rts printed in the government papers &lwut the pr >gress of the annexation e! ubs on the other Islands, bec.iuse those of us who are familiar with the countrv dlstriots know who the writers of tbe eoinmuoieaiion» are and that consequently uo emlenee eau be p!aced in their statements mude up f >r the oeeaaion.— A letter from Kauai without signature to Mr. Waterhouse, has apj>eared iu the Star the contents of whieh proves beyond doubt what we already had learned from other sources that the natives of Kauai, although threats of eviction and golden promises, had raade sorae of them soraewhat shaky in their loyalty, u[x>n the arrival of Captam John Ross and on reoeiving his explanation of the trne hideous inwardness of tlie annexation scherae rallied round the Hawaiian banner and refused to follow the annexationists any further. —The anonymous corres|>ondent of Mr. Waterhouse is whining and grumbling at the success of Captain Ros* and tries by varies reasaus to sbow why the H*waiians ou Kauai remain f«ith- , ful andpatriotic to their country — Governor Rice is in Honolulu with a petition frora 300 natives of whieh he is l»» prcs-nt to eoinmiasiouer Blount, The papers from whieh we gather this fact are very v«gue in stating the purpoae of the petition a >d Mr. Kiee his very litt!e to say on Uie subj..-ct himseif. But we will say unhesitatingly that lf His-Excellency presenls a petition favoring annexation frora 300 natives on Kauai there is a fraud souiewhere and a thorough inves*igation is needcd —We are as well posted on the sentiments ofthe Kauai {>eople as is Mr. Kiee or the politicad sch»ol— teacher who fills Ihe columns of the Bulietin with‘ rep*>rtsof annexatiou raeetings and Cu«riie Makee’s partics and any atterapt at misrepreseuUtion or wor»e ou their |>art sha!l have our immediate attention. At & m«eting in Wailuku last Saturday a nuraber of people were got together through the mducement of free trains and free carriages. A leadmg annexationist of that distnct admits to us that through all their efforts on’y thir- < teen Hawaiiana could be induced to sign the annexation roll in si>ite of the silvery tongue of the resurrected J. W. Kaiua—When the gang whom the annex&tionisU have secured to work for ihem on Maui among the Hswaiians is known, every one familiar with tha penooi will re*iixe that lhere ia no daoger that *ny impression will be made on the loy»l M*ui-itee.
