DOLE THE OOUilTIEtt
It was amusing on Saturday after
noon to watch President Dole in his
role as a courtier at the Maternity
Homo luau The President of this
democratic Government arrived
accidentally a few minutes before
the Queen Dowager and waiting her
arrival assisted Kalakauas widow
from hor carriage to the grounds of
the Homo Somo poople wondored
whether Dolo ramombared his posi
tion in 1887 when hn was ono of the
five who woll nevor mind
it is auoiont history or whether ho
still romembers 1893 or whether
most likely coming ovents are
throwing their shadows ahead It
was a refreshing sight anyway
ET TU BBUTE P
And now comes tho Advertiser
saying View the conditions from
any standpoint desired tho studont
of the situation cannot got away
from tho fact that Hawaii to day is
in tho air Just where it will drop
an all powerful Frovidonco alono
can say To what a lame and im
potent conclusion have the con
spirators of January 1893 come
when their organ can uttor tho
above language The best govern
ment theso islands evor had bos
run publio affairs uqtil Hawaii to
day is in the air
The monarchy had both feet on
the ground until tho forces of tho
United Statos under Stovons and
Wiltse ovorturnod it and would
havo had tho conspirators in tho
air but tor the said forcos and all
would have been woll to day How
ovor wo livo in 1897 and by gones
should be by gones
But when tho Advertiser attempts
the pious act in saying Just whero
Hawaii will drop an all powerful
Providence alono can say Tne
Independent must put in a de
murrer and hold tho best govern
ment dowu in tho court of Mr
Thurstons partnor whore proceed
ings wore first taken aud havo boen
continued up to this timo No pray
ing good Lord and good doyil
Should Frovidonco tako hold of
Hawaiian affairs in dead earnest tho
best government may take to tho
woods Just now Mr Thurston and
his partner have the swing
BOMB PERTINENT REMARKS
Wo are permlttod to make tho
following extracts from a lotter
from San Froucisoo writton by a
gentleman who is woll informed and
who has exceptional opportuuitiei
for securing information Tho
fooling in regard to omiexatiou hna
changed the very mou who tliroo
yoars iwo lalkodloudly of the Am
erican fliiK floating out in tho Paoifio
Ocean arn now in favor of thepoliuy
of notiiuiorvtiiitioii There arn many
causes which inilueiieu this ehaugo
of opinion Tho first is a far hotter
acquaintance with the situation nm
the circumstances of the dethrone
ment as you know it on tho spot at
the tune The feeling amongst those
sympathizing with tho native Ha
waiians is that they have been quit
hitherto because their Queen told
them to lomuin so with a view of
having her wiongs righted by tho
United States 3et just as soon as it
is kuown that tho United States ac
cepts the Senate report as final and
will do nothing unless absolutely
orced to not tho native poople will
no longer accept tho condition of
things but make alliance with auy
disturbing element for the purposo
of restoration of the monarchy I
think that so far as tho present
drend by the Dolo government is
sincere this is the course of things
they fear Thon the tariff question
with m is a oiy serious matter wo
must have more revenue say the
financiers It is suggested that wo
have allowed MO000000 of sugar to
come in froo of duty in loss than
twenty years that neither our own
couutry nnr Hawaii has benefitted
by it that tho treaty hos been sole
ly for tho benefit of a few sugar
planters who hoard their millions
This view of matters is helped along
by tho growth of tho beet sugar iu
terost which has ceasod to be an
experiment California ouco your
ally for closer relationship now has
tho strongest of reasons for koepiug
you at a distance Tho Stato needs
the protection for beet sugar which
a duty on your caue sugar will bring
to her and I see uothiug but
financial ruin for your sugar ostatos
unless they cau do business on a
four to eight per cent profit They
oan pay no such dividends as in tho
past Ono man of whom it was
asked what would bocome of tho
islands in case annexation was re
fusod and abrogation of tho recipro
city treaty bocamo a fact replied
Thoy must go back to just whero
they wero prior to 1878 their com
mercial prosperity was overthrown
in 1893 tho treaty never benefitted
tho common people and in time
their situation would bo as it once
was It is hard to soo or say how
the treacherous ovorthrow of tho
former government has worked tho
ruin of the present rulers yet such
is the mineral belief I horo hoard
it said that tho men now in power
if their pride would allow it would
like to eoo tho monarchy reestablish
ed Olaus Sprpokels who has done
a great deal for the commorco of
the inlands is I think thoroughly
sick of them his capital and his
interests in businoss aro far moro
likely to bo dovoted to building up
the beet sugar industry In Wash
ington just now it is all Cuba upon
which resolutions aro offered in
Congress aud columns of discussion
in tho newspapers You could not
get up any oxcitomont thoro just
now on Hawaii whatever the issue
Escaped Erom tho Marion
A sailor belonging to thp U S S
Marion who is uudor a very heavy
seutonoo for having committed an
unnatural offense has succeeded in
escaping in spito of boing under n
strict guard and it 1b stated in irons
No traco of the escaped conviot
has yet beon found
It is reported that tho acting
jailor will place a double guard at
tho jail to proventtho escaped sailor
from entering tho promisos whore a
cortnin missionory pot is confined
and that similar precautions will bo
taken at tho Polico Station whoro
another Wlldo has taken up his
rosidonce
