should doubtless be truly blessed. We have
not suffered greatly on their account.
Our King Is the Adam to be cninppcd by
this man He makes seductive approaches re-
gafiing the coronation. Yes, he snaps at the
bait, his mouth is hooked, and the tax follows
rs a consequence, and It will pile up until
tremendous load Is imposed first, a tax Of
500 for the coronation, and then SEC, 600
for entertaining the guests.
But the sum last mentioned will not suffice
for the 5000 and more who have been invited
TO come and witness the ceremony They are
persons Of high rank, and must be entertained
accordingly. Surprising hundred princes
and princes royal not TO mention kings, were
to come II would be a shame for us to think
Of entertaining them with merely $40, 900.
We should be obliged to feed them on salt, a
little kuku.nut sauce Gnamona), uau and poi.
How would that look2 MOI What shall we
do them II we entertain them in a manner be-
fitting their rank the cost will not be less than
a quarter Of million, or half million OF dol
| lars, or even more.
4 know this man; | understand him from the
words Of his own mouth.
First-lIc is a man ambitious for office.
Second-IIe is a rcvolutionis,, and really
traitor. On these points shall explain, and
my friend, the Hon. J. Nawahi, is my witness
to the truth between us.
During the session OF the Legislature of 1873
he invited us for several evenings to his rooms
at the hotel, to listen to his conversation.
! That was few evenings after the failure in
the House OF his resolution of want Of conf.
dence in the (Wilder) ministry
The first evening he manifested to us his dis.
affection toward Kalakaua. He said "he had
been of great service to kalakaua in helping
him to the throne by setting forth his royal
genealogy, and by strongly influencing Ha.
wailans and foreigners, and persuading them
over in body, but he has not been mindful of
my services to him. AT the present time we
see the government to be very weak; the min.
isters are weak. For that reason am ambi-
tious to do something before my death to make
the name Of Gibson famous, so that my grand.
children shall proclaim that their grandfather
overthrew this government.
He went on to narrate the story of Cromwell,
military chieftain Of England, who put TO
death the King and Queen (sic), and how he
conducted the government for time until
new king was chosen. "If the Hawaiian PEG.
pie wish to do this, very we'll"
| In my opinion, he wanted us to enter into
his disafiection and conspiracy, but his skill
and rascaliiy did not succeed in beguiling
these two Hawaiians and bringing them over
to his plans. For three nights he labored to
persuade us, and the burden of his argument,
was as have stated above, but he did not pre-.
vail over us.
= oh, Hawaiians call to witness the living
God, who saw us three in this mans chamber,
that these words in very truth were uttered
| by his mouth. Not word Of this sort pro-
ceeded from either one OF us two; he alone
was the one who uttered them. When we
had departed We talked together about the in.
famous character Of this foreigner, and we
were convinced that it was true he had plotted
against other countries and had been imprs.
oned for the same cause, and we called to
mind his cruelty to the Hawaiians al Lanai.
These utterances of his to us are our strong
reason for firm opposition to him and for
utterly abhorring him. The great book well
asks, "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, OF
the leopard his spotsf" This applies to such
man as Mr.. Gibson. Gibson is like snake,
benumbed by the cold, that is laid in the
bosom Of man, which, when il becomes
warm, will bite the one that gave it shelter
His character is that Of malconten,, a reyo-
lutionist, rebel. lie is one whom money
has power to buy over to treason.
oh, Kalakaua. this man is viper in the
bosom. He daily iavns before you with his
sycophaniic arts, striving to ensnare you in his
net. DO not spare him. Listen to this voice,
the voice OF your own land; it is no, fgment
OF the imagination. Do not desire him, do
not be deceived by his falsehoods, invented
merely to please your ears. Turn and heed
the voice OF the people, the voice OF God. 0,
kalakaua, your safety and the. safety Of your
government depends on the people. not on a
single man, not on four men. One man Is not
The pnYeInmcnl. nor arc ihesa four men III.
