Prof. Hosmer delivered a short in
troductory speech. He said that
among Euglish-speaking people there
was no longer any rivalry beyond a
friendly rivalry. They formed a
confederation that was helping for
ward the civilization of the earth,
and in this confederation of English
speaking people Hawaii was destined
to form a part. America was not
only great and powerful, but it was Il
Christian land. 1t was the only
country in history that had obeyed
the divine injunction to forgive our
enemies. Had Geo. Washington
failed he would have paid the penalty
the same as Robert Emmett did,
whose motives were just as pure. In
Canada Riel was executed for justifi-
able revolt. How different the treat
ment accorded the leaders in the late
American rebeilon Men who en-
gagged in that were now in the halls
| of legislation and the nation was
reaping the benefits Of this magma
nimous policy. He spoke of the
internal development of the United
States, and closed with saying that
all her citizens were proud to belong
to the United States, "the land of
the free and the home OF the brave"
