of the pooplo ou tho subjec. Ho
would now introduce a mau who
could discuss tho question more ably
than ho could.
A. S, Hartwell said ho was axkod
that day if ho was looking for in
spiration for his annexation talk.
Ho answered no. that ho needed no
! inspiration. Whou his tongue cleaved
to the roof of his mouth then and antl iu time tho Hawaiiaus would be
! not till then would bo ceaso to advo-' completely crushed. Therefore ho
cato tho annexation of these islauds j asked them iu all sincerity to con

(Applause.) All tho interests of Ha-
waii deiioudod on this. With annox-
ation our sugar and rico would no

States tariffs. Amoricau capital
woultl bo brought in to develop thu
resources of llnwnii, How the
Uuited Stales Government might
regard tho question was a matter
thai concerned tho people of the
United States. Thero was another
consideration for us. It was timo
to have au end to the old controver
sies ot this couutry. Ho knew that
nnny of them thought that the old
government was ovottbrown iu 181)3
by the interforeneo of tho United
States Minister and tho assVanco
of tho United Stated forces under
Captain Willzo But ho believed t ho
event was bound to ccjmo nnxwny,
and would havo come even if Miuis
tor Slovens aud tho Boston had stay
ed up at Ililo. It was brought about
by the same conservative, law-abiding
peoplo who secured tho great
constitutional changes in 1837 uml
suppressed the Wilcox insurrection
iu 1889. Let them sink the dead
past, and all join hands iu going
forward to achieve tho object of
union with tho Uuited States. In
tho words of Shakespeare, ''Now is
tho winter of our discontent made .
glorious summer by this Sun of
York." Iu conclusion the speaker
Raid ho believed iu annexation an an
American, he believed in it as a Ha
waiian. (Applause.)

deed ono 01 tho most striking ex
amplos of tho poverty that had over
taken tho people. Ho, know tho fail
ings of the Hawaiian, how they
were given to saki, gin aud frolic;
but now they were too poor to gratify
thoir caprices. Annexation would
enable them to satisfy all their thohUtory of the nineteenth century
needs, as it would bring mouoy iuto 1 progress came to be written tho
thocouutry. They had now a Gov-1 United States would take up two
eminent bv bayonots. Such a crov- thirds of it. Tho speaker hero ro-
ernraent was an oppressive one, and
under it such laws were beiug pas
ed as Hawaiiana had never known
before. These made tho Govern
ment obnoxious to Hawaiian, as
well as' the overthrow of their old
goverumont, Thou, why not join iu
this movement, that would give them
a tree goverumout with equal rights
for all! There wore those prosont

quickest way to get thorn out was by

annex ition of tho couutry to tho
Uuitod States. Annexation would
also close tho door to ohoip Asiatio
labor that was crowding natives to
tho wall. Tho poi business onco ex
clusively in tho hands of Hawaiiaus
had slipped through their fingers.
Now the Asiatics competed with
them iu other branches of busings?,
ctuifii!ont that thoy could not fall lo
arrive at tho same conclusion ns he
had, if thoy would only cast aside
their prejudices.
It. B. Brenham wa introduced by ,
Mr. Smith as 11 rising young lawyer
of the town, with whom thuy wero '
not much acquainted, but if he was .
a good annexationist they would
nil bo ulad to get butler acquainted ,
with him. Mr. Brenham said he
wanted to back out of spuakiug that
night, aud would have done so had
ho uot come into possession of good
news for them, which would rejoice
the hearts of Americans within hear
ing of his voice. Ho mot a mau the
other day on Kaahtimauu street,
whore features seemed rathor fami
liar to him. Tim innu had intelli

sti-p and none in his ovorj move
ment. Ho was Miro ho had met tho
same man on tho Pacific Coat, iu
tho Middle States, at Washington

Stale, lie 3HKMI a friend who the '
....., ...-, ... w.-. ..W w .. ...... .
stranger was, and the reply was that
it was a umcago drummer, .now
ho could assure them that whou
once a Chicago druuimor sot foot on
Hawaiian soil, tho annexation of
these islands to the United States
was practically accomplished. (Loud ,
applause aud laughtor.) Leaving
the Chio.igo drummer to himsolf,
he would recall to them a passige
in that best of book, tho Bible,
which was taituht him by his mother.
It nan iu the Book of Proverbs and
read, "Sweet nro tho wounds of a
friend, but the smiles of an enemy
are deceitful." The Hawaiian peo
ple had in the past many deceitful
friends, their listening to whom had
been at tho bottom of most ot their
political troubles. You havo wor
shipped many false god, said ho.
Designing men havo come hero arm
ed with carpel bags only, aud with
no interests of the country at heart
havo deceived 3-011 by protended
friendship anil led. you to politi
cal ruin. When lie was iu Sail
Francisco lately ho triotl to interest
people iu Hawaii, tolling them of
the opportunities for investment iu
coltVo, pineapples, etc. O110 man ro
plied to him, "I would go dowu
thero only for two bad pests you
have slander aud mosquitoes." Now
thoy wanted to get rid of these
potts, especially that ot slander.
Continuing tho speaker said: Gentle
men, during tho pat two years, iu
looking over tho policy of your Gov
ernment and pooplo on this annexa
tion question, F hive often had in
my miutl ono of the old fables of
Ji'op which I will take tho liberty
of telling 3'ou. It is called, "Tho
Fly and tho Chariot." A chari
oteer was driving a pair of fiery
steeds over a duty road at great
speed, and naturally raising a
great cloud of dust. A little iiy
alighted 011 tho helmet of the chari
oteer, and becoming blinded by tho
dust spoke up aud said, " What a
hell of a dust ice nro raising."
(Laughter and applause.) That you
may havo no uncertainty as to my
application of this fable, I will take
the liberty of advising you that tho
fly in this instance is not tho United
States. (Laughter.) Now his friends
might make very fine speeches hero
about annexation, but the question
was uot going to be settled by this
little country. Tho Uuited States
would havo something to say about
it. That was tho greatest country
! on tho faco of tho earth to-day, tho
most progressive country, and whou
most progressive couutry, and wheu
, ferred to tho inventive genius of tho
Uuitod States as personified in Edi
son, and was sooakinff of other areat
I mon of the day, when a voice on the
! platform said, " What about Clove-
laud!" Mr, Brenham said that was
I not fair, as he was a Democrat A
' voice "So am H"l a Cleveland
Democrat, and a Mugwump. Prosi -
dent Cleveland had made somo mis-
takes in his Hawaiian policy. fSamo
voico as before "No mistakes!"
Ho bolioved it was a mistake
to neglect tho Nicaragua canal,
nnd this brought him back
to tho Chicago drummer.
That drummor ditl uot come hero
from Sau Fraucisco, but by way of
Pugot Sound. Ho knew his busi-
. uess. Coming through tho North
, west ho had a choice for shipping
I his goods of four transcontinental
railroads whoso competition gave
him bettor rates of freight to these
islands than tho one California road,
and ho found a better steamship linn
from Vaucouver than tho Sau Fran
cisco monopoly. Iu conclusion Mr.
Breuham urged unity of action
among all tactions, cliques and
organizations with tho Government
in promoting annexation to tho
Uuitod States. Diecord could only
result in discord and danger. Har
mony aud broad gaugu couusels
would bring all wo could ask.
Tho chairmau introdurod Charles
B. Wilson as a goutlemau who had
been against annexatiou iu tho past.
Mr. Wilson said this was the liist
timo in his huoivh ilir that the Ha-'
wiiiaus had met iu thii place for the
discission of annexation, lie want
ed to dious tho subject for tho
benefit of Hawaiian, beeauso it was
said they could not talo nny part iu
bringing t about annexation. Tho
ri'noii given va that they could
not trti't the while men, a they
had come pretending to be
friend theui, but what had
they donel It liad b-on said
n.u.
they came to
tl.M country and,
of their binds and
deprived llieui
all the privileges accorded them bv
their auciout chiefs. It was charged
that tho while men had last of all
deprived them of their government.
in answvr to thoso statoments lin
would say that everybody who had
been hero any length of timo know
mat tno tiawaiiaus were nn oay
going people, that they wore easily
led to believe that the white men
iiionut to benefit them. It was this
that led to tho revolution of 1S87, to
thoiuiiirroction of 1889 and to tho
overthrow of tho monarchy iu 1893.
Tho very saiuo reason was at the
bottom' of the uprising tho other
day. Who was to blame? Was it
tho white me 11 7 (Cries of "No.") Ho
blamed th Uaun!iaus thomsolvos
for uot listening to the men who
inade tho couutry what it is to day,
who had introduced eivili.atiou.nnd
inado tho country prosperous, iiy
listening to ill ndtieo tho Hawaiiaus
lost thoir government, they Io.t their
vote, thoy ofi tho opportunity of tak
ing part in the constitutional conven
tion. The wheel of progress cannot
bo slopped. If Hid Hawaiiaus will
not help it, tho white men will take
hold and make it go. Ho believed
that annexation to the Uuited States
would be best for all roucorncd, and
the sooner we had it tho better. Ho
would like to fee m with our own
form of government, whether it was
a monarchy or a republic. But
neither a monarchy nor a republic
could last loug iu this couutry with
out; tho protecting arm of some
Htroug fo coign power. With our
niixott population no indopondout
goverumont could exist. Govern
ment by military power, without th
will of the people, could not last.
It increased taxation, it was oppres
sive, it was something that would
nut do. If tho United States refus
ed to annex the inland, the pooplo
should apply to some other power,
as they must go forward aud do
something for themselves (Ap
plnuso.) Mr. Hopkins interpreted Mr. Wil
son's speech iu Hawaiian, anil the
natives applauded it at dilTeront
points.
Chairman Smith said he had been
invited to speak, but the subject had
been discufsed by nblor men. Ho
was an annexationist, and that was
why ho went iuto the movement ot
1893. Tho sun was rising aud Its
progress could not bo stayed. An
nexation was bound lo come in
time, aud all should work together
to hasten tno tiay. inocnnirman
closed a vigorous address by bidding
the audience good night.
Tho audiouco dispersed to the
strains of "Hawaii l'onoi."

Tho dog catchers havo brought iu

i Now that tho war of tho re vol u-
tion is over, it is tho duty of every
mau to support tho existiug-forui of
governmout. Although things may
not movo with mat coitur.iny mat
would ensure au everlasting peace,
still thoy may bo allowed to subside
iuto Hint indliroreneo without aninio
sity that woultl allow either party
to work out their best interest. All
things considered it may bo for the
best, but time, tho only arbitrator in
such ca-of, must alone decide that
James T, Stewart is a l'liunb-r and
