HAWAII'S MISFORTUNE

Never a cause was called upon to pass through deep waters of trouble it is that of Hawaii. Her enemies of are among the Hawaiifans themselves and their pretended friends. While the majority are struggling to free themselves, in company with his equally unfortunate foreign friend, from the oppression of a few capitalists and religious sugar planters, there are some <illegible> and selfish men in the country who are bent on obstrutting the wishes of the majority just for the sake of gratifying an inordinate greed for wealth and a vain lust after power. The boasted fidelity and patriotism of some of the more wealthy class of Hawaiians, is only a cover to <illegible> ends, and while it may be pure and true in many is sadly mixed with human weakness and <illegible> vity in others. Since the organization of the Libferal Party under their present leaders, the prospects for better government and the more just execution of our laws are iinproving. The rascality of a few mechanice towards the Hawaiian Party, who purposely mislead their fellows, caused a split and <illegible> to the organization of a strong liberal, equal rights party in the country, is an evidence of the trend of honest intensions among the people, and their desire to avert any connection whatever with unprincipled men. We live in hope to see a practical reform, a real one continued in the interest of good government and for the welfare of the masses.
