In tho P 0 Advortisor to tho Criticloins of tho Press and ItoltoratooHis Policy

Sir I cannot complain ot thospirit in which my ciroular lottor totho Hawaiian people has boen gen-

erally¬

received by tho foroign pressof Honolulu I am told that therearb writors who with characteristicgrace think it not impertinent tocriticiso in this connection my incomo and tho modo in which I spendit Such writors probably limit theirown ambition aud their patriotismby tho requirements of what theysometimes in thoir moro frank mo ¬

ments would doscribo as broad andbutter and after all tho demandsto which they thus subordinate thoiroarlior canons of tasto should ratheroxcito our sympathy than ourconsuro

But air tho political attitude re-

vealed¬

by tho courteous repliesmado to my circular is a vory soriousone and it is clear that whateverelse may be said the timo chosen formy publication was not proaiature

My first contribution towards thosolution of tho Hawaiian problomwas written in January 1893 whonI urged that tho Quoen bo asked toabdicate and that tho Princess bedeclared Queen with Mr Dolo MrP 0 Jones Captain King and MrWO Smith as a Oounoil of RegeuoyWhen I related this long afterwardsto Kato Field ho said Oh whywas not this done but it is too latenow I think thoro are many whowould echo Miss Fields words to-

day¬

as I do

Noithor rabid royalists nor rabidannexationists approved of my sug-

gestion¬

then any more than theywill approve of mr addrosa to thoHawaiian people now I did notwrite for popularity but for poacoYou say Sir that tho llawaiianswill road my addross and forgot itI auBwar that the foreigners will notforget it however they may neglectthe warning which it ought to con-

voy¬

Ono point seems to havo boengenerally overlooked that is that Ihavo not said ouo word in my letteragainst annexation or against thoUnited States taking their own timeto deoido upon tho proposal thathas been mado to thorn I accept asituation which at tho tho same timoI do not approve But to reply thatif wo do not got annexation wo shallhavo civil strife and that thereforowo must havo annexation as onopapor states is simply hystericalscreaming As a matter of fact youhavo to faoe tho certainty that withor without aunoxation tho Hawaiians will have votos without muchif any delay If you do not takostops in advance to conoiliato thoHawaiians that vote will bo a hostilovote and will sound tho knoll of Ha ¬

waiian harmonyIn addressing tho Hawaiian poo

peolo I havo endeavored to disposethorn to tho voico of oompromisoand peaoo Thero are rabid parti-sans

¬

on both sides who will rosontmy interferonoo but suroly thoroaro moderate mou on both sides whooan seo the crisis that is upon thornwhatever news may corns fromWashington and if they cannot fiudutterance in tho press or notion intho Legislature thoy will doservotho results which they refueo totako tho trouble to avert

Ono point moro On Monday even-

ing¬

at the reception at Katnohamoha Sohool I was discussing witha friond whom I may desoribo Ihope without offence as a rabid an-

nexationist¬

tho creditablo positionswhich aro being filled by tho fineyoung Hawaiians who aro beingtrained at this institution I sawand heard somo of them in thoirmusical piouos and I am otherwisofamiliar with tho young follows andwith the grand results that havocomo to them through tho noblowork of Professor Richards and his

staff Tho Rev Mr Mackintosh canbring forward a similarly creditabloband of young Hawaiians who aroan honor to thoir nation and to thoteaohors who novor Boom to losothoir influenco over thoir old pupils

Noxt morning I road in your col-

umns¬

with sorrowWo bolong to that wing of tho

annexation party that does not bolio70 in tho high charaotor intelli-gence

¬

and capacity of tho nativesfor good citizenship which meansgood government

Sir if tho trustees of Katnohamoha School if my rabid annexa ¬

tionist friond if you yourself wouldfaithfully try to load thoso youngHawaiians to a proper realizationof what a flag ought to bo to a na-

tion¬

instead of cruelly trying to doprooiato thoir own charaotor andto porsuade thorn that any othorflag in tho wido world could takotbo placo of their own iu theithearts thnro would bo a power heroby which this wholo nation could boguided into a now life

In your issuo to day you ohnllongoa Sonator to proseut tho Govornraont with a policy I vonturo toaccoptyour challenge and to outlino a policy which I rospoctfullyoffor not only to tho Governmentbut to tho party which it ropresontsand which is simply Teach thepeople to trust you I am siryour obodiont servant

It will probably be considered importiuent ou our port to suggest auyohargo in existing laws while theCabinet is busy framing a policyto suit Senator Watorhouse thomalcontents generally and tho Ad-

vertiser¬

and tho Star

Wo cousider it a duty howorer tosuggest to tho Minister of Financotho advisability of changing thepresent laws relating to tho offico

and duties of tho Auditor GouoralOur attention to this Act has beenspecially attracted by tho questionspropounded in tho House of Repre ¬

sentatives by Mr Pogup who seem-

ed¬

very anxious to know why thoMinister furthor on fought tho hatlie of his friend from Paia by pre ¬

senting a report from tho FinanceCommittoo disapproving of thoMinisterial answer and calling foran anuual comparative statomontwithout delay for tho benefit of thoAuditor General

Tho Minister held rightly thatmonthly and quartorly comparativestatements had boon issued from hisollico and that copies had boon fur-

nished¬

to tho Auditor General Un-

Wo do not care howevor to dis-

cuss¬

islature¬

that the time has ar-

rived¬

when a radical changoshould bo made in tho admin-istration

¬

of tho Finance OfficeIn our humble opinion tho FinancoDepartment should be tho Troasuryin tho proper sonso of tho word andall moneys bolonging to tho Repub-lic

¬

should pass through tho handsof tho treasurer as rocoipts or fordisbursement Thoro is no civilizedcouutry conduotod on the basis ofintelligent govorumout whore thouonditious of tho Hawaiian FinancoDepartment oxist Horo tho Minis-

of Financo is called upon in ouomoment to respond to a call for apolicy in tho Legislature and in

tho uoxt moment ho is askod tocome down to his ollico and arbitratoiu a disputo botwoen his chief clerkand tho Auditor Gouoral in rogardto a salary draft of a poundmastersay on Niihau Tho existing condi-

tions¬

are absurd in tho utmost degroo and wo hope that a bill will boproBoutod during tho session amondiug tho presoul laws

Tho Auditor Gouoral should bo aquasi judicial officor having uudorhis charge all accounts of tho Gov-

ernment¬

officials and with his- - as ¬

sistants frequently inspect tho

books of every ofiice under tho Gov-

ernment¬

Tho speech of RoprosoutativeHenry U Johnson of Indiana iu thoHouso to day opposing tho annex¬

ation of tho Hawaiian Islands is thotalk of Washington to night It wasa brilliant effort and created a son- -

sation Ho was not only applaudedby members of his own party butwhon he had concluded tho Demo-

side almost a unit in theiropposition to annexation as well asa goodly numbor of Representativeson Mr Johnsons oido of the Housearoso and cheered wildly Ho arous-ed tho members to a high pitch ofenthusiasm His speech is justlyregarded as one of tho most brilliantthat havo oror been delivered inCongress His dolivory was as rapidas usual and ho maintained hisreputation as tho fastest spoakor inCongross

Thoughtful Republicans see thatthey aro forced to abandon tho an ¬

nexation scheme It is statod byconservative members this ovouingthat tho treaty will be abaudoncdby tho Senate within tho noxt tendays aud they admit that annexa ¬

tion by joint resolution in view oftho pending Spanish troubles isvory doubtful if not hopoloBs Thospeech of Johnson in tho Houso is

taken as a warning Tho schemeneed not look for support by fairand patriotic mon in that body if at ¬

MB DAVIKS BEPLIEB

In tho P 0 Advortisor to tho Criticloins of tho Press and ItoltoratooHis Policy

Sir I cannot complain ot thospirit in which my ciroular lottor totho Hawaiian people has boen gen-

erally¬

received by tho foroign pressof Honolulu I am told that therearb writors who with characteristicgrace think it not impertinent tocriticiso in this connection my incomo and tho modo in which I spendit Such writors probably limit theirown ambition aud their patriotismby tho requirements of what theysometimes in thoir moro frank mo ¬

ments would doscribo as broad andbutter and after all tho demandsto which they thus subordinate thoiroarlior canons of tasto should ratheroxcito our sympathy than ourconsuro

But air tho political attitude re-

vealed¬

by tho courteous repliesmado to my circular is a vory soriousone and it is clear that whateverelse may be said the timo chosen formy publication was not proaiature

My first contribution towards thosolution of tho Hawaiian problomwas written in January 1893 whonI urged that tho Quoen bo asked toabdicate and that tho Princess bedeclared Queen with Mr Dolo MrP 0 Jones Captain King and MrWO Smith as a Oounoil of RegeuoyWhen I related this long afterwardsto Kato Field ho said Oh whywas not this done but it is too latenow I think thoro are many whowould echo Miss Fields words to-

day¬

as I do

Noithor rabid royalists nor rabidannexationists approved of my sug-

gestion¬

then any more than theywill approve of mr addrosa to thoHawaiian people now I did notwrite for popularity but for poacoYou say Sir that tho llawaiianswill road my addross and forgot itI auBwar that the foreigners will notforget it however they may neglectthe warning which it ought to con-

voy¬

Ono point seems to havo boengenerally overlooked that is that Ihavo not said ouo word in my letteragainst annexation or against thoUnited States taking their own timeto deoido upon tho proposal thathas been mado to thorn I accept asituation which at tho tho same timoI do not approve But to reply thatif wo do not got annexation wo shallhavo civil strife and that thereforowo must havo annexation as onopapor states is simply hystericalscreaming As a matter of fact youhavo to faoe tho certainty that withor without aunoxation tho Hawaiians will have votos without muchif any delay If you do not takostops in advance to conoiliato thoHawaiians that vote will bo a hostilovote and will sound tho knoll of Ha ¬

waiian harmonyIn addressing tho Hawaiian poo

peolo I havo endeavored to disposethorn to tho voico of oompromisoand peaoo Thero are rabid parti-sans

¬

on both sides who will rosontmy interferonoo but suroly thoroaro moderate mou on both sides whooan seo the crisis that is upon thornwhatever news may corns fromWashington and if they cannot fiudutterance in tho press or notion intho Legislature thoy will doservotho results which they refueo totako tho trouble to avert

Ono point moro On Monday even-

ing¬

at the reception at Katnohamoha Sohool I was discussing witha friond whom I may desoribo Ihope without offence as a rabid an-

nexationist¬

tho creditablo positionswhich aro being filled by tho fineyoung Hawaiians who aro beingtrained at this institution I sawand heard somo of them in thoirmusical piouos and I am otherwisofamiliar with tho young follows andwith the grand results that havocomo to them through tho noblowork of Professor Richards and his

staff Tho Rev Mr Mackintosh canbring forward a similarly creditabloband of young Hawaiians who aroan honor to thoir nation and to thoteaohors who novor Boom to losothoir influenco over thoir old pupils

Noxt morning I road in your col-

umns¬

with sorrowWo bolong to that wing of tho

annexation party that does not bolio70 in tho high charaotor intelli-gence

¬

and capacity of tho nativesfor good citizenship which meansgood government

Sir if tho trustees of Katnohamoha School if my rabid annexa ¬

tionist friond if you yourself wouldfaithfully try to load thoso youngHawaiians to a proper realizationof what a flag ought to bo to a na-

tion¬

instead of cruelly trying to doprooiato thoir own charaotor andto porsuade thorn that any othorflag in tho wido world could takotbo placo of their own iu theithearts thnro would bo a power heroby which this wholo nation could boguided into a now life

In your issuo to day you ohnllongoa Sonator to proseut tho Govornraont with a policy I vonturo toaccoptyour challenge and to outlino a policy which I rospoctfullyoffor not only to tho Governmentbut to tho party which it ropresontsand which is simply Teach thepeople to trust you I am siryour obodiont servant

TEE AUDIT ACT

It will probably be considered importiuent ou our port to suggest auyohargo in existing laws while theCabinet is busy framing a policyto suit Senator Watorhouse thomalcontents generally and tho Ad-

vertiser¬

and tho Star

Wo cousider it a duty howorer tosuggest to tho Minister of Financotho advisability of changing thepresent laws relating to tho offico

and duties of tho Auditor GouoralOur attention to this Act has beenspecially attracted by tho questionspropounded in tho House of Repre ¬

sentatives by Mr Pogup who seem-

ed¬

very anxious to know why thoMinister furthor on fought tho hatlie of his friend from Paia by pre ¬

senting a report from tho FinanceCommittoo disapproving of thoMinisterial answer and calling foran anuual comparative statomontwithout delay for tho benefit of thoAuditor General

Tho Minister held rightly thatmonthly and quartorly comparativestatements had boon issued from hisollico and that copies had boon fur-

nished¬

to tho Auditor General Un-

der¬

tbo80 circumstances we cannotsee why tho Auditor through hisnext friend in the House shouldhavo a kick coming Ho mightwithout serious interferonco withhis preoious and wall paid timehavo compilod an anuual statementfrom thoso furnishod to him cover-ing

¬

a shorter period

Wo do not care howevor to dis-

cuss¬

this matter at tho present timebut wo do desiro to submit to thoMinister of Financo and tho Leg-

islature¬

that the time has ar-

rived¬

when a radical changoshould bo made in tho admin-istration

¬

of tho Finance OfficeIn our humble opinion tho FinancoDepartment should be tho Troasuryin tho proper sonso of tho word andall moneys bolonging to tho Repub-lic

¬

should pass through tho handsof tho treasurer as rocoipts or fordisbursement Thoro is no civilizedcouutry conduotod on the basis ofintelligent govorumout whore thouonditious of tho Hawaiian FinancoDepartment oxist Horo tho Minis-

ter¬

of Financo is called upon in ouomoment to respond to a call for apolicy in tho Legislature and in

tho uoxt moment ho is askod tocome down to his ollico and arbitratoiu a disputo botwoen his chief clerkand tho Auditor Gouoral in rogardto a salary draft of a poundmastersay on Niihau Tho existing condi-

tions¬

are absurd in tho utmost degroo and wo hope that a bill will boproBoutod during tho session amondiug tho presoul laws

Tho Auditor Gouoral should bo aquasi judicial officor having uudorhis charge all accounts of tho Gov-

ernment¬

officials and with his- - as ¬

sistants frequently inspect tho

books of every ofiice under tho Gov-

ernment¬

and in onee of a differenceof opinion between him and thotroosuror or any of the Cabinet offi ¬

cers bo authorized to submit suchdifference to a judgo of the highorcourts for a construction of law anda final settlement of the disputeTho treasurer should bo tho receiv ¬

ing and disbursing agent of thoGovernment and to him should bointrusted tho dutios of tho prueontAuditor General which seoin to con ¬

sist only iu chocking off draftsagainst the itoms of the Appropria-tion

Wo havo during tho years of thoexintonco of tho present audit actfailod to sco tho benefit of it andwo feel convinced that the wholocommunity will heartily supportany Ministor or member of thoLegislature who will tako up thomatter and propose an amendmoutto tho present dofectivo law v

NO OHANOE FOB ANNEXATION

The Independent has beon laughedat and ridiculed by our rabid annex-

ationists¬

wheuover it publishedfacts received from tho suporiorsources of information at its dis-

posal¬

from hondquarters whichshowed that the annexation schemowas a head issue which could nevermeet success in tho Congress of thoUnited States

The mail received last night con-

firmed¬

tho poliny of Tuc Independ-

ent¬

and from most reliable sourceswo havo received a cablegram datedWashington February 23rd whichstaton that the treaty will failand the joint resolution will lie de-

ferred¬

to auotlior sessionThe money of thn taxpayers spout

on tho juuketing trip of Dole Cohas beon wasted as we predictedand juetiou holds sway again iuspito of the intrigues of tho unscru-pulous

¬

adventurers who tried to sellthe independence of the Hawaiiannation

Wo havo uever doubted ho honorof the men who represent tho peo-

ple¬

of tho United States and wo

have always folt assured that athorough investigation would makethem realize tho true conditionshorn and thn good causa for theappeal for justice from tho Hawaiiaus which iu its simple but truelanguage has touched high heavenand tho hearts of overy true Amer-

Tho speech of RoprosoutativeHenry U Johnson of Indiana iu thoHouso to day opposing tho annex¬

ation of tho Hawaiian Islands is thotalk of Washington to night It wasa brilliant effort and created a son- -

sation Ho was not only applaudedby members of his own party butwhon he had concluded tho Demo-

cratic¬

side almost a unit in theiropposition to annexation as well asa goodly numbor of Representativeson Mr Johnsons oido of the Housearoso and cheered wildly Ho arous-ed tho members to a high pitch ofenthusiasm His speech is justlyregarded as one of tho most brilliantthat havo oror been delivered inCongress His dolivory was as rapidas usual and ho maintained hisreputation as tho fastest spoakor inCongross

Thoughtful Republicans see thatthey aro forced to abandon tho an ¬

nexation scheme It is statod byconservative members this ovouingthat tho treaty will be abaudoncdby tho Senate within tho noxt tendays aud they admit that annexa ¬

tion by joint resolution in view oftho pending Spanish troubles isvory doubtful if not hopoloBs Thospeech of Johnson in tho Houso is

taken as a warning Tho schemeneed not look for support by fairand patriotic mon in that body if at ¬

forco of this argument and iu thoface of impending troublo withSpain shrink from undertaking morowork than will be foreod upon thornunder oxistiug conditions

Ropublioau Senators admit thattho treaty cauuot command twothirds of tho voto of that body andaro urgiug Chairman Davis to bringtho dobato to an end by recommit ¬
