There are .m the way of & syateiu that wiil be fair and equitable to all (3aases in these I>lan<ds, The doaiiargr one cla&s meaos th«. oppreBs>ion of the others. To be raled by offlc?als appointed froui a distant capītal is dissonant with our idea? of llberty. We \vant to aii fiee aqd equui Americaa citue«s. Thiā pnviiege**is accorded ouiy to the inhabitants cf a state. Hawaii faas nofc fche area or population of a state eompamhle with other states of the Union. The United ?tate> wonld be reluctaut togrant us statehood. The ProvisiomU Govemmeat and the mo>»l ioflue,ntīai purtiou of our populaliou dol not eousidei' a state governmeny «je?irc»blM. īt is well-nigh that we ean become a state Jn īuiv reasoaal'ie nu-m ber uf years. Tiie next be?t thing is to be a jurt yf a atate. Our nearest neighbor is a great, prosporous state, posses?Ang u larg,e aud prosperous population. IN coustitution, laws and prineiples «re those of the most ealightened aud liberal people on earth. Everything \vould be fixed aml setded at ouoe. The laws of Caiifornia would be ia force, the courts af Caiiforuia would be on hand to interpret arfd apply them. There wou!d be precedent for everything. There woukl 5e no experimenting, no friction, no hreakdown, 'no agitation for further changes. Thoee who were aot satisfied with the law» of Califon?ia could elect iegiBlators to send to Sacramento to change them ar*cordlDg- to their InAneoee, We wpukl raake four liiee "%V; el^fc om county tuUßty judges, distriet attorneya recorders cierks, schooi $uperin£eadenta, roud boards and all loeal ofßcers. We coald vote for ali state officers— governor t asseaj.bly men, seuatoris, etc., for a congressmaa and for prtisideut of Uie Uuitetl Staieo. We would be enfraucliia'ed, ciothed with the full right? and respoosibilities of Amerlcan oitizens:. That !$ all that anv eau ask iu the W3y. of liberty j?r polliieal po\ver. Lei be Caiiforniaus if we are consulied iu the matter. Thiī Eulielin says I am resortjing to "brutal abuse" of the natives. The BiUletin does not quote any of the "hmlal abuse," The; l4 brutai abu«e M !< :> tcnn u-?od hy Dauiel to priyudice ihe !sativēs who aie posed not know when they are abused unless- some detnogogue telU theui.
