visionsl government. This Is . quotation
from the letter:
Mrs. Willis told me herself how over
whelrned with surprise they were at find
ing the community here equal, If not
far ahead, OF any city OF its size in
Amerlca in culture. refinement. etc.
Why, you have no idea, said
she. of the dense ignorance that
ands. told Mr.. Willis that Mrs Dole
was . lady who would grace the White
House quite as well as the lady who
now reigns there, or any other;
that is saying good deal.
Mr. Willis said as much and more,
showing how strongly he vas impressed
with the character Of the people in charge.
He Was led TO believe thai few low-ciass
whites and beach combers had done all
this business Of oyerturning the queens

from B!ount and others affecting the
change of government and the action Of
Minister Stevens Is false, and the fact is
Hawaiian history.
Minister Stevens action was consistent
with American honor and integrity in
every essential particular, and vas vio-
lent contrast TO the conduct of Blount,
who not only affiliated with the queens
intimate friends, but distributed his pho
tographs around among the Royalists.
If the people of the United States could

in whom the queen put her trust and
confidence rapid change of feel
