On this day, the American warship Boston left the harbor and the land of which it assisted in persecuting and stealing its independence with the missionary descendants from Boston. Where could its previous captain [Gilbert C. Wiltse] be resting? According to the Calvinists, he is in Heaven, and perhaps the ship will go to fetch him.

Mr. Editor: Please give me a column in the fearless spokesmen of the lahui.
I am very regretful should you be a true Hawaiian, being that I always see in our newspapers of the mother tongue you announcing to the far and wide of the Archipelago, “Let Us be Republican.”
Do you not know the one who overthrew the monarchy? Do you not know the “head” of those who overthrew the government? Do you not know the desire of the people you support to obliterate us Hawaiians, and that this is verified from Governor Dole’s very own mouth? Do you not know the great desire of the Republicans to limit our voting power which was corroborated by the Governor in Boston by him saying: “We demand that the whites be supported and the native Hawaiians put down.’ ‘Ke kauoha nei makou e kakooia ka poe keokeo a e kulai a kuaia na kanaka Hawaii ilalo.” Continue reading
| As president of the Hawaiian Patriotic League of the Hawaiian Islands, I honestly assert from an intimate knowledge of the Hawaiian people that they, men and women, as a race and nation, are emphatically opposed to the annexation of Hawaii to the United States of America or to any other nation. We love our independence too dearly. JAMES KEAUILUNA KAULIA. |
I, as president of the Hawaiian Political Association of the Hawaiian Islands; affirm and indorse the statement of the Hawaiian Patriotic League. DAVID KALAUOKALANI. |

The coming 2nd of September is the birthday of our dearly beloved Queen, the day that She first arrived and breathed in the sweet air of this world of light, from the loins of Her mother, high chiefess Keohokalole, and She has now reached the age of sixty-four.

There will be a great royal audience for the people that day, from Her own makaainana to the people of other ethnicities. There will not be invitations sent out to each person, but it is open to all without hesitation, and there will be but one audience, from the haole, the rich and prestigious of the land all the way to the humble peasants; they are all the same. The only invitation to you all will be this public Announcement by the Aloha Aina inviting all those of this town who have aloha for the monarch. Rise! Get going! Go forth, big man and little man. File along to the royal audience with the Queen.
It is understood that the American Commissioners [the Subcommittee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico] will be present at this royal audience if they arrive before then. The audience will only be for two hours, from 3 to 5 p. m., Sept. 2, 1902, and Her royal residence at the grounds of Washington Place [Wakinekona Pa]. There will be many beautiful adornments displayed that day at the royal audience. There are new Feather Capes [Ahuula] and Kahili being skillfully crafted by Her own attendants who are skilled at the making of such things, under the guidance of Mrs. Heleluhe. So go and see for yourself, and not just hear about it. There will not be a meal presented that day, only an audience. The public is invited to go a fill the yard of Washington Palace until it overflows, showing the love for the alii. This will be shown once more in the paper of this coming week.
