Hawaii Holomua, Volume III, Number 260, 12 Iulai 1893 — Untitled [ARTICLE]

The laek of polhieal sense and knowledge with whieh th« members of the P. G. and the annexationists seem to be gifted is really ineomprehensibk. After all what has transpired since January the I7th, they sti 11 seem to think that a government established in the raanner whieh waa the case withthe P.G.has a recognized standing atnong the powers the world. In spite of the ver3’ strong indication given to Mr. Thurston by the President of the United States tLat heouly will support and closer ally the United States with a government whieh, according to American conception is a government of the people, tbe P G. seems still to believe that they ean ask for and receive a protectoraie fr«>ra the United States. Althoug'>i tne government has never heen formally recognized by Oreat Britain, they atill seem to iraagine that the Britieh government wou!d receive a eomsion offering annexatiou of the rf&waiian Islands, and wou!d make Hawaii a c»lony (with Sir Sanford Dole as Governor) agamst the will of the Hawaiian people, and eontn»ry to the now existing treaty helween Great Britain and France. We have in former times pointed out the fallacy of all the fine prineiplea and the raagnificent sentimenta whieh heretofore have emanated frora the annexationists and the revolutionists who try to impress on the world that the revolution here was an outbreak of true but down-trodden American patriots, that Hawaii tbrough lradition and through commerce and situation belorged to the United St«tps. and that that great republic was in duty bound to erabrace the petitiouer for metr,bership in the Union, and fold ua (against our will) to its br«ast. The following eentence« from a Honolulu correspondent in the San Francisco Call, written by & man wmiae position of edit >r of the government organ makes him fully couveraant with the sentiments of the administration, and makesbim write with authority,further proves the hypocrisy and double-facedness of the government, and now false and lying all their assertions and all their bolstered up claims to be considered Americans have heen and still are. These “Ameneana” who iutend to offer this country to England are really a curiosily. They are a double curiosity. Fir»t on account of tbeir menlal calibre whieh would make them worthy of a plaee in the World’s Fair Exhibition, heeauee tbey ean believe th*t Great Britain would negotiate with a lot of alieged Amenean? whom the United State» have turned away from the door of that republie, because they were pretenders who falsely offer#d wh*t wa» not theirs. *nd secondly, btcaoM they

ean believe tbat tbe United Sutefl won!d tolente tbe interference in Hawaii bv any otber country or that they would ailow the P. G. to play any role whatever, or beootne t a factor in the f«lure destiny of Hawaii nei. That the dis“a9e of swelling in the heads of the Hawaiian revoIutionista has not abated ean al«o beseen by their scribbler‘s remarks whieh read as followg; “Ihavejust held an important interview with high officials eonnected with īhe goverument on what course the Provistonal Government will t>ursue in eaae tb« United St tte« refusep to take favorMble action reg>rding annexation. While iK«t at liberty to puhliah names. I h«ve it on the best and most conc!usive authority that the Provisional Government will probably not cotsider an off*r of pro tection from the United Stat-s in case annexation ia refused until a conference is he!d with Engiand to see if a stable 6overnment canuot be secured by annex ition to the British empire. lu case Englarfd shouid follow the example of the United States in refusiug aunexation then the Uuited States |>rotect<>rale will be considered. but only in case the Frovisior al Government shou!d fiod itse!f unahle to stand alone. The same writer owns up the truth though m regard to the tru« sentiment8 here among the annexationiBts whieh is r:'ther refreshing after all the rot whieh such“stateimen’’ as ‘*Con8ul General” “Wilder, and Secretary—now without-any-rank-whatsoever” —Hastings. have disbed up to ihe Araerican newspaper reporters in that he finishes hia correspondence by 8aying: “The general feeling here on Cleveland’s addrees to Minister Thurston is that w hileit ia a f>rmal recogoition of the Provisional Govemmenl it is not at all favorable to annexation. in fact, Americans here have generally eome to the eouelueion tuat there are little hopee of annexation through a Democratic adrainĪ8tration.”
