is said to have asked the commission
er to restore the queen to the throne
under an American protectorate,
whereupon the commissioner exclaim-
ed: "a queen under an American
protectoratep Tableau.
Annexation clubs have been started
and many natives are joining. More
than half the voting population of
this island alone is already enrolled.
Mr.. Davies is very good man. He
believes the Bible right through, even
that text which reads, Though hand
join in hand, the wicked shall not go
UNPUBLISHED but he makes one ex-
ception to this, just to prove the rule,
and that exception is in favor of
royalty. "The king can do no wrong"
is the chief article in Mr.. Davies
creed. You or / would be ostracised
for 1.-THE of the wickedness of which
the ex-queen is guilty, but in her it is
merely the eccentricity of royalty.
l should not say that exactly, either,
for Mr.. Davies is not anxious for the
restoration of the queen, but for the
J establishment of her niece on the
broken down throne of HAWAII. This
is only a proof of my first statement
as to his alteration of royalty. You see
Mr. Davies dearly loves position. To
be known as favorite adviser of the
queen would be balm to heal all
wounds, past, present and future, for
him. In England he is only an in
telligent, and perhaps, obsequious
tradesman. In Hawaii, with Kaiulani
as queen, he would expect to be the
POWER BEHIND THE THRONE,
and his expectations would doubtless
be fulfilled.
There are very few Americans
here who do not favor annexation.
They are men born here of American
parents. AS a general thing often
they and their families are especially
friendly with the ex-queen, and have
been so from youth. l don't believe
there are more than half dozen of
them in the whole group. My per-
sonal knowledge embraces less than
that number. These people claim as
their excuse that they are Hawaiians.
wonder if to be born of American
parents in Constantinople would
make u man Turk. The Ethiopian
born III America does not change his
skin. Nor does the leopard born in
the New York Geological Garden
change his spots and become the
American wildcat, at least no such
transformation has ever been an
nounced to the public. Therefore the
curious attitude of these American
sons and daughters is astonishing to
most of us. 1t is even the source of a
large amount of fun for the commun-
ity. That u man in America should
oppose annexation is nothing surpris-
ing at all, but it is little surprising
that man born and brought up here,
and seeing the trend of things for the
last % years, should be unable to see
that for the general betterment of the
Hawaiian people this is the best
thing that could come to them
considering the matter from that one
point alone, with improved business
conditions. We would have more
funds and more industrial schools
could be provided, where the mental
moral and physical life would be for
the uplifting of the Hawaiian youth
This single item, one would think
would have an influence on these
Hawaiian patriots.
The last sensation is the robbing
of the crown jewels. Nothing detn
lite has yet come to light beyond the
fact that the gems are missing. BY
another mail l may be able to tell you
more.
