SATURDAY, OOT. 10, 1897.
ALOHA KG AMI OPIO.
Victoria Kaiulnui, Princess of
colobrates to-day tho 22ii(l anniversary
of her birthday. The
young chiofeas is ou hor vy to tho
homo of her birth, whur she will
'find a hearty and honest welcome
from all classes. Tin' princess loft
the islands in 1889 as a child, Sho
returns, a young woman, with all
tho advantages which a Riiperior
education and refined surroundings
assure. Sho will find many changes
in her native land, many strange
faces, and many of tho friends of
hr childhood missing from the
land, which she has never forgotten
and from which her people to day
send her their boBt wishos for many
happy returns of- hor natal day a
loving Aloha uui.
TOPICS OF THE DAY,
The few cases of throat trouble
with diphtherial symptoms, which
aro reported from different parts of
the town need not alarm the public
Tho authorities are watching the
cases carefully, and the general
annual "cloaning up" of the town is
being carried on by officials of the
Board of Health and tho Police Department.
The Advertiser publishes another
fake story about a gonoral emigration
of Portuguese from Hawaii to
the small island of Taimoa near
Java. As a reason for the proposed
annozatiou it is stated that the
Portuguese fear that if Hawaii is annexed
they will not rocoivo tho
rights of Amerioan citizens, and
that they prefer to emigrate. The
Portuguese who aro supposed to be
tho promoters of the soheme, have
written to the Portuguese Government
and suggested that facilities
of transportation and of obtaining
homes be granted to them. The
Portuguese Oovornmont naturally
referred tho request to its representative
hero for further information,
and Mr. Onnvarro has invited the
subscribers to the letter to meet
him to-morrow and furnish him
with necessary information in regard
to what thoy desire. It doon't seem
probable that tho Portuguese Government
should bn anxious to assist
subjoots who are dissatisfied with
their prosout homes because thoro
era prospects of their not being admitted
as oitizons of tho United
States. Tho Government of Portugal
can certainly not fool flattered
over such a proposition. It is characteristic
that none of tho throo
mon who signed tho resolutions
which wero presented to Senator
Morgan beforo ho loft aro Portuguese
oitizons or in danger of not
becoming American oitizons in case
of annexation Ono of them is an
Amerioan and tho other two aro
Hawaiian citizen;, and will undoubtedly
bo allowed to enjoy all
the glorious, etc., privileges of tho
free born, etc., Amorioan. How
thoso Portuguoso who cannot road
or write can expect to be admitted
ai Amerioan oitizons in case of an
ptjWftwMiMn
nexation wo fail to comprehoud.
Tho Toimna sohomo 5b a good
however, to Ulk about.
Tho pooplo of Konn nro ividoutly
getting up-to-date, A cltizon of
that district tolls the official organ,
that and othnr officials
tackling Chinese and Japanese on
tho road stand a good chanco of being
subjects of a coroner's jury. A
Ohinaman according to tho Advertiser
informant shoved a revolver in
tho faco of a police officer, who was
asking for tho releaso papers of tho
Pake, and tho officer atoerod for his
home in double quick time. The
Ohinaman will probably bo given
employmout on the polico force.
It is to be hoped that n thorough
investigation will bo held into tho
shooting, by a Chinese doteotive, of
Jack Gavin, aB soon as he is sufficiently
well to make a statement. It
appears that tho unfortunate man
besides boiug shot through the wrist
aud tho leg by the police craokshot,
was clubbed by the butt of the
pistol in the head, after he had been
rendered by tho
ChineRO bullets, Tho "special detectives"
should bo disarmed at
ouco. Tho Attorney-General can
certainly not approvo of tho
use of firearms by
employees of his department.
During the 80 years Mr.
Dayton was tho
officers were nover armed with revolvers
aud no occasion arose, where
were needed. And
yet in those days the community
was far better protected and tho
safety of tho citizens moro secured
than it in now the case uuder our
target-shooting "bout" government.
When Charles Wilson was Marshal
ho novor furnished his men with firearms.
Not oven on tho day of tho
revolution of 1893 wore tho polico
officers armed with revolvers. Tho
policeman who was shot by John
Good, was simply armed with his
trunohoou and it was onlyaftor that
occurence, that the marshal handed
out arms to somo of the special
officers. There is no special exouse
of reason for having the myrmidons
os, the Dole Government carrying
Grearms. Tho evil system may yet
prove a formidable menace to our
virtuous government and act as a
boomerang.

An Irish Yell
Ed. The Independent:
The Star talks this: "Under tho
Government of tho United States
tho Hawaiian need not fear tho
color line, etc." Hisb, me darling!
Not so fastll How is this? The
Supremo Court of the United Statoi
have uphold tho law lately passed,
that no nogro can rido in the white
man's railroad oar. He must ride
in tho car reserved for the colored
race or go on foot. The same rule
applies to tho hotels, restaurants
and all other publio roeorts. How
strauge it will appear to the roader,
if truth at any time by mistake,
happens to drop within the columns
of the Start What mountains of
falsifying hogwash, tho writers of
this oligarchy aro guilty ofl Tho
plebiscito will oud it all.
Ed. The Independent:
"Tho little knot of noisy royal-,
ists," as the Star choosey to call the
overwhelming majority of tho legal
voters of 1892, numbering about 15,-000,
who in tho near future will bo
called upon to dooido by a plebiscito
as to tho form of government they
wish to live under is now by tho
natural whirl of events fast approaching
their objeot. When tho
far astray Alabama Senator aroso
and advocatod tho pasting of tho
annexation bill at the closing of the
last soBsiou of Congress, no uotice
was taken of him, but tho bill was
laid over until tho Docember term,
to bo killed iu short ordor, for the
following reafons. In tho first place
tho Amorioan pooplo excepting a
fow cranks of the Stovnns and Morgan
stamp, had far rathor have Hawaii
as an indopondont nation than
auuux it. Tho silent wuttoriugs of
Kussia, Germany and Franco against
Amorica annexing tho island?, with
England quietly watohing aud
tho gamo, as sho well knows,
that tho moment Amorica reaches
out in mid-ocean land grabbing,
that moment dies the Monroo doctrine,
which America now foresees.
Tempest iu a teapot, this little
fuss and feathers oligarchic trundle
bed minority, will ond thus: Beforo
next January thoro will bean understanding
between America, England
Franee aud perhaps Gormany, for a
joint protection of this nation
against all other powors. Those nations
will thon say to Uncle Sam,
that we cannot protect a small baud
of armed traitors against a people
who have for tho laBt five years been
crying to tho world for justice!
Therefore, ordor at once the abrogation
of the troaty botwoou Japan
and Hawaii, that Hawaii may
her plantation labor s tho
necessity for labor is required, and
then iu no uncertain tone demand a
plebiscite to be taken and sae that
it is dono fairly, which iB but simple
justice to that doubly wronged nation.
That !b the play now being
prepared to be -placed upon the
stage of Hawaii, aud performed to
the admiration and joy of her people.
