WE AKE THANKFUL!,.
Of course wo are thankful to-day.
Sanford B. Dole has issued a proclamation,
in which he addresses a
special message of thanks to tho
Supreme Being for tho prosperity
and peace enjoyed by our people
during the past year. You won't
believe us boys? Read then the
whole proclamation of the dear old
whiskers who, by Ihe way, spends his
thanksgiving day iu tho remotest
corner of tho lauds of our people.
Hero is S(and) B(ag) Dole's proclamation:
In view of tho countless public
aud private blessings which have
contributed to tho condition of prosperity
and peace enjoyed by our
people during tho past year, I, Sanford
B. Dole, President of the Republic
of Hawaii, recommend that
Thursday, the 25th day of this pro-sent
month of November, bo sot
apart as a day of national thanksgiving
to Almighty God for those
His gifts, and of prayer for the continuance
of His favor.
But dear friends, as we are to bo
annexed, according to Mr. Jones,
in a few weeks it will bo appropriate
to learn the American style of doing
the thanksgiving business and in
the future disponso with tho stylo of
ahort addresses of Mr. Dole, who
"evidently thinks that he is running
a special cable between Puuwaawaa
and reserved seats on the rainbow
of the hereafter.
Govoruor Budd of California is
also grateful to God, and tho fellows
on tho beautiful rainbow. Ho
notices that another yoar has gono
by and that Durrant is still un
hanged. His language in his proclamation
is beautiful and to tho
point and his references to t he-purses
of his peoplo in California aro
simply touching. Here is Budd'o
call for thanksgiving prayers:
Thursday, November 25, A. D.
1897, is hereby appointod a day of
publio thauksgiving. On said day
let I ho peoplo of this State give
thanks to Almighty God for the
manifest blessings enjoyed by us
during tho past year, and in recognition
of said blessings let us miuglo
with our thanks such alms ns our
hearts may dictate and our purses
allow.
In witness whereof L havo hereunto
s,et my hand and caused tho
great seal of the State to bo hereunto
affixed, this 16th day of November,
A. D. 1897.
James H. Budd,
Governor.
By tho Governor:
L. H. Bnowx,
Secrotary of Stalo,
We have now referred to tho
in which tho chief ollicors of
Hawaii aud California desiro their
vfiwwjm&fi$JWivvvwvM jipufyjiynigffiii HiygW ft iw PT!? .yr"i7, 'w8WSm .
people to observe the day of Thanks-giving-
W wish siucorely Hint wo
could join Mr. Dolo and Mr. Budd
in tboir oxhortalious to their people
to joiu iu prayers of thanks to-day.
But what are wo to bo thankful fort
Shall wo bo grateful becauso "annexation"
ia the war ory of the
"nobln" white men who make their
money here and Bpond it abroad?
Aro wo to offer thanks because we
aro existing under a government
which has locked us into the colli
of their jails; and which has insulted
and injured every man, woman
and child not bolonging to their
political party?
Aro wo in our prayors to the
Almighty to-day to thnnk him for
the privilege of living in a country,
ruled by a clique supported by a
hired soldiery, and deprived of all
the rights which aro enjoyed by
citizens in every oivilizod country
of the world.
Aro wo to be thankful that wo iu
tho future aro allowed to stand on
the public .sidewalk without interference
of Mr. Dole's policemen and
have beon promised to be treated
as men.
Tnc Independent offers thanks because
thn vile schemo of annexation,
which, if accomplished, would mean
the ruin of Hawaii, is frustrated.
We aro grateful because, during the
past year, ouly 10,000 Asiatics have
been imported, and only GOO "white"
meu have cleared out. But first aud
foremost wo aro truly happy and
truly thankful because Dole killed
only one duckht Puuwaawaa and
left thn turkoya on- tho ranch for
Christmas uso.
By all moans let us have a Thanksgiving
day and let Dole aud Budd
havt) a chance to importune the Almighty
God, with whom they seem
to havo o personal acquaintance, iu
spito of thoir checkered careers.
YELLOW JOURNALISM.
It is probably in anticipation of
that some of our local
papnri Hr trying to adopt the stylo
of the ''yt'll.i.v" journals, which are
the fnthiou in certain straUs iu the
Unitt'd Statee, aud are a menace to
good morals and publio decency.
A few days ago a local paper
which is sporting tho low style
of "yellow" journalism published
a falio story about poor Harry
Miller, a man well liked in Honolulu
aud whose numerous friends havo
beon worryiug over his mysterious
disappearance while on a trip to tho
United States.
Wo cannot understand why tho
fate of Harry Mdler should be made
the subject of a burlesque. If
overcame him and ho has
gone to tho unknown regions from
whichtlioreis.no roturn, his ashes
should ho entitled to the respect
which all meu show to tho dead. If
it is found that he is alive and eventually
will return to his friends hero,
tho tidings would bo joyfully
and thoro would bo no occa
sion or room for a snoer by the yellow
journalists, aud furthermore is
not a decent journalists, duty to
track a mau on his vacation tour or
marriage jouruoy.
Wo aro thankful for elootrio
lights, tolophonos, tramcars and railroads
iu this small country, but lot
us daily pray to tho powers above
to protict us from "yellow" journalism.
