The Bono of tho Sandwich Islands,

Men live, breathe and havo theirbeing who swell with alleged patrio-tic pride, no doubt, at the magnifi-

cent achievement of tho great Re-

public of America in annexing LeporLand, known as Hawaii, or theSandwich Islands. But tbo unbiasodhistorian who is fearless and inUlli-go- nt

will dosoribe this job, if con-

summated as tho vilost, most despi-cable deod chargod to tho historicaccount of Undo Sam. The sneak-ing, dishonorable method and con-

spiracy (for bribor's gold) by whichtho little hereditary dynasty wasoverthrown at Honolulu under thoperfectly ridiculous foreign 'policyof Bnn. Harrison's Administration,wherein the diplomatic agont of thisNation accredited to the Queen'sGovernment with thorevolutionary conspiracy and wasactually supported iu the treacher-ous outrago and infamy by a warvessel of our navy, is tho blnckestpublio act. which can be chargedagainst this Republic in all its his-

tory. The nasty disgrace and pusi-lanimi- ty

of it cau never be effacedfrom our escutcheon. It was theft,brigandage, piracy, all rolled intoono, garnished with cowardlytreachery that would bring a blushto the cheek of a Comanche or aBashi Bazouk. ,

And now, the final chapter in thisdark and damning deod of perfidyand dishonor is seeking consumma-tion at the hands of this Govern-ment. To our surprise, the execu-tive branch of tho Government hasyielded to those sordid commercialinfluences tho Leper Land trustand the Senate will be asked to con-

summate aud confirm the work ofhighway robbery. It is announced(aud whoever heard of such high-

handed assumption?) that if thoConstitutional approval of the Se-

nate is withheld, the conspiratorsaro prepared to attempt to "annex"these far-of- f and undesirablo islandsby indirection. Of eourso that is

absurd. There isn't the remotestevidence that the bona fide citizensand peoplo of Hawaii desiro to aban-

don their homo citizenship and be-

come citizens of this Nation. Thebrigands who violently capturedand appropriated that Governmenthavo had the hardihood to offer atreaty of "annexation" that fails toprovide for a diroot vote of thonative peoplo there, to ascertainthoir wishes, And the scheme ofinfamy is further manifested byartiole ! of tho "treaty ofannexation," which is in those words:

"Tho further immigration of Chi-

nese laborers into tho Hawaiian Isl-

ands is hereby prohibited untilCongress shall otherwise provide.Furthermore, Chineso persons of thoclasses now or hereafter exoludodby law from, ontoring the UnitedStateB will not be permitted to comofrom tho Hawaiian Islands to otherparts of tho United States, and if socoming shall bo subject to the samopenalties an if ontoring from a for-

eign country."One would suppose that if a

separate country renounces its here-

tofore autonomy or allogionco atulbecomes annexed to aud a part ofthis Republic, tho people, the citi-

zens of tho annexed laud would be-

come oitizons of the adopted Na-

tion. Otherwise they would haveuo citizenship a .voritablo instaucoof "a man without a country."

If these Ohiuese citizens of Hawaiiaro by this process of annexationdivostod of Hawaiian oitizoushipaud acquire citizenship of thoUnited States, will thoso wisoaoreswho formulatod that mysteriouslyand wonderfully created treatyplease explain how undor our Con-

stitution citizens of ono Stato orTerritory cau bo prohibited frommigrating to any othor part of thisNation's domain!

The disinterested American citi

zen unconsciously asks. What inthundor do wo want with Hawaiianyhow?

THE JACKASS BRAYING

Tho Annexationists nro clutchingat straws again. This timo thoypublish a letter from dilso CaHsarMoreno to hio fortnor protege,Eobort Wilcox, which read a fol-

lows:

"Mr doar Wilcox:"I always potprird wiitiiiK to"

you benausri 1 ileum! to give youexact information.

"This morning I liad a jontfwith Senator O. K. Davis,

Chairman of the Coinmitlee on For-eign Relations of tho SonnU, whopositively told mo that 'tho dio iscast,' and Hawaii will bo anuoxod.

"We spoko about Hawaii andaud Senator Davis appeared

to bo well informed about tnftu andthings in Hawaii, and wo spoke atlength about you.

"Senator Davis is ouo of tho mottprominent Senators, and is friendlyto the Hawaiiaus, and his name andperson ought to be popular aud re-

spected among all of you nativeHawaiians.

"I am sorry dooply sorry thatthe Hawaiians will loso their poli-tical autonomy for tho blunders ofothers, aud it appears to mo to bethe fatal fate of tho Hawaiian rulersto bo misled by small men at homeand abroad.

"You and othor prominent Ha-waiians should form a League forthe purpose of persuading all thonativos, as the die is cast, to voto forannexation to tho United Statos,

"Tho idea that the native Hawai-ians will bo treated by tho UnituriStates in tho samo manner that thoIndians are treated in America insimply absurd, and tho Hawaiianswill enjoy all tho rights and privi-leges of any othor Amorican oitup u,irresnootivo of raco and color ororeed.

"You should inform all your coun-trymo- u

in public meeting andthrough tho press, in tho Hawaiianand English languages, of this pros-pective, and on their part tho abori-ginis- ts

of Hawaii must bo loyal citi-zens to the groat American Re-public.

"Bo assured that Prosidont Mc-Kinle- y

and tho great Amoricanpoople will troat tho Hawaiians asthey deserve. I heard those vorywords from tho month of the philo-sopho- r

Senator Davis, in whosohands and wisdom tho annexationtreaty is entrusted.

"You and qthors accept my sug-gestions, and you may in a nearfuture rondor valuablo services toyour race aud country.

"From the never changing friond."Cklso Caesar Moreno."

The Star writor pretends to lookupon tho adherence of Mr. Morenoto the annexation causo as a wonder,while ho is no doubt honestly won-

dering how much tho HawaiianCommissioners had to pay for tholotter. Tho Star writor then goeson to say:

"Another tnith ho ouunoiatos is,that tho Hawaiian will bo treatedwoll as a oitizon of tho UnitodStates. This has novor uoedod cor-

roboration, but, coming from thosourco it does, tho corroborationwill be of value in Hawaiian eyes.Undoubtedly it will bo a wise thingfor tho Hawaiian to declare JiimBelf,fully and freoly, on tho side of an-nexation."

This oxtraot from tho Star onlygoes to bIiow howlittlo tho annex-

ationist knows about tho Hawaiianpeople. Mr. Moreno's "corrobora-tion" will havo uo more value in thoeyes of Hawaiiaus than would that

J--vw

of 1. O. Joneo, W. It. Castlo, W. O.Smith, L. A. Thurston, W. A. Kiu-no- y

or S. B. Dole, or any otlur oftho annexationist who wont in forannexation for two ceuls a poundon sugar.

The Star's equally disinterestedadvicu for the Htwaiian "to declarehimtolf, fully and freely, on the sidoof annexation" will full on vars thatlake ;uty advice Irom such a eouroowith mtspiciou. The Hawaiiaus willbo heard from in duo timo, .and thenMr. Moreno aud tho Star will realizethat they havo novor understood theHawaiiaus.

THAT SEOHET DEBATE.

William A. Kinucy, who won', toWashington at tho instauco of Mr,Dole, says as tho result of his mis-

sion: -

"Tni administration has so ar-ranged tho Hawaiian question thatit will bo brought up at tho open-ing of Congress in Decombor. As Iunderstand it uo commission will boappointed, as everything will bo intho shapo'of arguments. It is mycandid opinion that the dobato ontho annexation proposition will con-tinue for soveral woekS in tho Sen-ate before a final voto iR taken. Thodebate on thn treaty will bo secret,but n gist of wha' is said is iuvnri-al.l- y

published."

Wo can understand that Presi-dent Mi Kinley profors not to letthn ontsido world know tho Hawai-ian case as it, will bo presented bytho opponents of annexation, for itwill proscnt a page in history thatAmericaus will havo causo to blushfor.

STRETCHING THEIR POWERS.

Is it not rather strotching thochords of international comity forour Oligarchical Government, as itis tormed in the United States andabroad, to assume that a treatywhich has not yot been ratified byeither of tho party-signatori-

thereto is a valid obligation, andpractically a component part of tholaw of this soveroign aud independ-ent land. Tho actions of our rulerssavor too much of tho autocraticdespotisms of Russia aud Germanyaud oven in tho latter country thopooplo aro objectiug to tho Em-peror's will.

TOPICS OF THE DAY,

Attoulion is called to an interesting articlo from tho London Globe,winch is published on our outsidopages to-da- Professor Aloxaudor,our local historian of internationalfame, may be pleaed to read thohitherto unpublished extracts fromLieutenant Tarloton'a lotters in con-

nection with former cessions of theseislands to Great Britain.

Tho Hawaiians and thoir truofriends may find food for thoughtin tho letter of Bishop Turner, auAfrican, published in tho BostonTranscript, and which will bo foundon our first page iuissue. Tho loiter may also possesssome interest for Mr. Dole audthose planters who profess a desiroto colonize negroes in Hawaii; fortho Bishop advises tho negro "tolleo from tho wrath to oomo"othorwiao tho Uuitod States of Am-

erica.

Wo congratulato oursolves andcondole with our frieuds, tho an-

nexationists, on thoir acquisition ofColso Cio-ia- r Morouo to thoir hire-ling ranks. For tho benefit of an-

nexation malihiuis wo may statothat Moreno has such a savoryrecord in Hawaii (to say nothing ofabroad), that when he was a Minis-to- r

of tho Crown for a briof hour,the people rose en masse to lynch'him, and all tho foroign represent-atives protested ogainst his appoint-ment, and ho oscapod from thovicinity of tho Catholic Church by

woll, novor mind how. Tho iuflu-onc- o

of Moreno aud our friendRobert Wilcox iu theso days overhouost Hawaiians amounts to nil.Wo aro ploasod that C, O. M., thoorslwhilo haiiger-o- of Washingtonlobbies, has joined tho devil and hispartner,

LUNA, THE MADOAl.

Very Auoflptubly Presonted LastKvonhir nt tho Opora Housn.

As a comedy drama Lena, thoJladcap is attractive not so muchfor its-ow- n merits for they are notnumerous, as a play, m for tho facileopportuuttie it presents to KatiePutnam to display hor fresh andtersatile talent?. Sho certainly is abright, pretty, witty, charminglyclover little iugonue, who thorough-ly diops into her character as ahealthy heartful piece of loving per-versity. There are stronger cap-abilities in hor than this rathermediocre play affords, and probablyin Fanolion, which is to bo givon to-

morrow night, they will be display-ed to a greater degree. Suffice itthat last evening Miss Katie kept horaudience in excellent good humorwith her hoyden-maidenis- h fun, andher other-side-of-hea- rt sentimental-ity strongly eulistod their sympathyHorMuging was well rocoivod, andeven tho very ehostuutly "AlabamaCoon" met with a hearty encore.

It is difficult for theatrical entre-preneurs, ignorant of tho fact thatHonolulu, in comparison with itssize, po!aei.es hittlriouie and music-

al amateur talent of a very highorder, and many travelled peoplewho havo heen tho best class of pro-

ENGLAND AND HAW AIT.

U U vvell kno'vii lint the Sand-

wich Islands wero lakon possesionof in tho imiuo of the King of Eug-lau-d

by Capt. Cook ou their discov-

ery by him iu 1778. Tho formal an-

nexation of tho islands took place,howovor, in 1791 by Vancouver, whowrote, iu explanation of tho stopswhich ho doemod it his duty to tako,that, although ou well understoodprinciples "no disputo could havearison as to tho priority of claimthat England had to tho SandwichIslands," ho yot considered "that thovoluntary resignation of these terri-torio- B

by tho surrondor of the Kingand people to tho power and auth-ority of Great Britain might prob-ably bo tho means of establishing anincontrovertible right and prevent-ing any altercation with other Statoshereafter. Under theso impressionsand upon due consideration of allcircumstances, I felt it an incum-bent duty to accept for tho Cmwnof Groat Britain tho proffered ces-

sion." What followed upon thisresolution its told iu some privrteand unprintod lettora of tho lateAdmiral Sir J. Walter Tarloton, K.C. "B,, A. D. O, which have beenplaced at our disposal. LiouteuantTarloton writes that tho formal ces-

sion of thi islands were made by KingTamaahuiaah and his principalchiefs on board tho Discovery onFebruary 25, 1791, in the presenceof Vaucouvor, Lieutenant Paget,commanding tho Chatham, and alltho oflicors of tho Discovery. Heproceeds:

"Mr. Pagot lauded, accompaniedby Eoino of tho officers, displayedtlio British colors, and took posses-sion of tho inland (Owhyee as ft wasthen callod) iu H. M.'s name in con-

formity to tho inclination ofand his subjects. On

this ceremony being finished a salutewas fired from both vessels, and aninscription on a shoot of coppercommemorating tho event wasplacod iu a conspicuous situation onthe King's house. Those fond offinding out coincidences havo beenpleased at tho discovery that thelate provisional cession was madeon the anuivorsary of this to Van-

couver, viz., Fob. 25, 1813."It should hero be stated that

Lieutenant Tarleton'a letters werewritten in tho year just named. LTo

was at that time a first lieutenant,on service in tho South Pacific, and82 yoars of age, and had, even thou,the reputation of being a very smartofficer.

Tho American missionaries, fromwhom tho Sandwich Islanders hadreceived instruction in Christianity,appear to have used their influenceamong them against England. Lieu-tenant Tarloton mentions particu-larly a certain Mr. Judd, "a man oflow origin, but consummate cun-ning, and concealing under the mostabject oxterior excossivo ambition,who," ho eaye, "holds completelytho reins of Government, directingthe King, who is a woak creaturo,in any course ho thinks proper.""This," ho adds, "was the state ofaffairs whon we arrived here. Grossnets of oppression towards Britishsubjects and of partiality towardsAmericans whereby tho Englishwore placod bolow tho footing oftho favored nation, had long calledfor the prosenco of a man-of-war- ."

Mr. Charlton, the British Consul,went to England to .lay tho griev-ances of thoBritish subjects beforeLord Aberdeen, then Minister ofForeign Affairs; but "no sooner hadho departed than his property wasattacked and taken poseessiqn of bythe Government as the site of a cus-tom house for an alleged debt owingat Valparaiso, and tho person onwhom ho dovolvod his duties wasuot rocognized." "Lorcl GoorgoPaulot," tho writer proceeds, "de-manded au intorviow with tho King,but was roforred to tho aforesaidMr, Judd. Certain demands, whichLieutenant Tarleton alludes to asboiug alroady known, wero madoupou tho King. Then follows astory whloh romindB us too pain-fully of events that havo happenedin lator years. Tho proceedings oftho commaudor on tho spot worodisavowed, and tho native King's

authority reestablished. Writingfrom Honolulu on the 5th of August,L'Hiitounut Tarleton rays:

"Tho schooner wo dispatched toJ.he Admiral no. sooner reached himthan ho sot off iu has to for this place,where he arrived ou tho 25th July.His first proceeding was to issue adeclaration saying that ho had cometo inquiro into tho demands whichtho King had found it impossible tocomply with, and to ascortain Ifthore was really a necessity for thecession that had boen mado to LordG. Paulet, Tho next thing wohoard was that a treaty had beensignod by tho King and Admiral(which treaty had boen drawn upon board tho Dubliu ou hor passagefrom Valparaiso, iu which tho isl-

ands wero given back to His Majastytho former cession was put on oneside, and the native flag was to be

ou the following Monday.This was accordingly done, with allpomp and circumstanco that couldpossibly bo lent to it. Hero wo aretherefore, 'eating dirt' before twoAmerican Commodores and a cor-

vette, very much to tho satisfactionof Mr. Judd nnd his party. LordGeorge has run tho risk that all mondo who act on their own respon-sibility."

Tho writer remarks subsequentlythat it was annoying to know thatthe iBlauda wero not given back "totho natives, but to tho Americans."

Iu a later letter (tho ouo justquoted from having boon hurriedlyfinished), Lioutenaut Tarloton ex-

plains how Lord Goorgo 'Pauletcame on tho scene. In consequenceof accounts which had reached thoGovernment, ho was sent in thoCarysfort to inquire into tho statoof affairs, and to demand redress onsoma points that had been specific-ally mentioned. He anchored offthe harbour at Honolulu, Februoiy10, 184U. Negotiations for thoredress of English grievances fol-

lowed his arrival, but "insurmount-able difficulties" woro said to havooccurred, aud .then tho King pro-posed a provisional cession of thoislands of Queen Victoria. Lieut-(uan- t

Tarloton.had not been able todnfiuo "the preciso rock on whichthey split," but ho believed it to haveleeu concerned immediately withthe proceedings connected with thobankruptcy of a certain British sub-jsc- t.

The King was really, however,ho believed, influenced iu desiringto place his country under Englishrule by fear that the French, whohad just taken forcible possessionof Tahiti, would make a descontupon tho Sandwich Islands. Lieut-enant Tarloton excuses himself frompassing judgment ou the proceed-ings which ho records, but ho goosso far as to say, "Much will dopendon the policy of tho British Govern-ment, which I cau only hopo willbear out my captain, particularly asI consider the trausfer of tho isl-

ands to some foreign Power asmerely a question of time, as it ap-

pears to mo impossible for them toretain their indepondonce, notwith-standing tho plausible theories ad-

vanced by tho missionaries on thatsubject." Tho proclamation of Ad-

miral Thomas, by which the annex-ation was disavowed, is set out atlength, aud in commenting upon it,Lieutenant Tarloton observes ineffect that all its eloquence was butwasted words, since it would uoverroach tho King at all, but "go intoMr. Judd's ooat-pooket- ." LondonGlobe.
