MR DOLE AND ANNEXATION
Minister Damon aud a few coun
cillors of state who with him op
posed the sending of Mr Dole to
tho United States at public expense
are now in tho position of saying
VVe told you so
Mr Dolo received a very frigid re
ception in San Francisco and ho
could certainly uot foel encouraged
by tho news received from Wash
ington and which is well oxpressed
in the following dispatch
Washington January 17 Prsi
deut Dole of Hawaii will not be tho
guest of tho United States duriug
his stay in this country The State
Department has made no plans for
his entertainment and can make
none though the fact that tho visit
ing Executive had to stay over night
on tho Peru instead of being takon
ashoro at once is deplored This is
attributed to an oversight on tho
part of a Treasury ollicial The
State Department has no fuuds at
its disposal nor has it banquot
rooms or apartments for receptions
bo that thnro can be no oQioial re
ception or entertainment In all
visits of foreign rulers there havo
boen previous announcements en
abling Congress to make provision
for entertainment The limo is too
short for this action now and it is
felt also that there might be ob
jaotion aud a debate which would ho
unpleasant and detrimental to tho
interests of Hawaii
Mr Dolo however went on to
burn on tho private purses of Mr
MoKinlevs officials and we hope
that when he returns to Hawaii he
will hand back to tho Treasury the
10000 which tho councillors of stato
kindly allowed him to take along at
the expenso of the hard up tax
payers
Is Mr Dole in a position to assist
tho annexationists in Washington
who are working tooth and nail for
tho accomplishment of tho stoal of
of Hawaii Wo think uot The
proposed amendment to the treaty
of Senator Bacou of submitting the
question of annexation to a vote of
the Hawaiians has caused Mr Dolo
to express himself to tbo irroproasi
ble interviewer saying that such a
step would meau the death of tho
annexation scheme He is reported
as haviug added to his remarks that
tho majority of tho Hawaiian3 wore
ignoraut and opposed to annexation
but that tho intelligent classes
were uuanimously in favor of seeing
their country an integral part of tho
Great Hopublic
It is difficult to boliovo that Mr
Dole could havo mado such state-
mant8 in public Wo yot bolievo
that tlioro is sntutt honor loft him
oven if tho S F Chronicle publishos
a picture of him looking as if ho
hid come out from a spritualititia
seance nod sunn liin ancestor who
was hoiiBst nud loved the llawaiiaus
who fed him and who would have
condemned his presonl course It
is hard to believe that Dole can have
come dowu to tho lovl of a cheap
provariuator dishonestly misrepre
senting facts
Mr Dolo is now aware of the fact
that his trip was a blunder He
has learned that his whiskers and
smihss and lies do not help tho an
nexation cause He has seou Grover
Cleveland the giant of the Demo
cratic Iarty entering tho political
battle field aud crying into tho face
of the subsidized jingo Senator
Morgan the ciguificaut words You
liel you liel you liel
Annexation of Hawaii is impossi
ble under present circumstances
We are pleased to roiord the fact
but all citizens of those islands feel
extremely humiliated over tho fail
ure of the head of tho Government
never mind how unjustly and ini
quitously he got there to gain re
cognition iu a country which we
have been told daily is our special
protector and guardian
Probably our great and good
friends at Washington have reolizd
what a tromondous fake tho Re
public of Hawaii is
