The Only American Colony.

A native Hawaiian. the Rev. THOMAS l.
GUbIcK, for seven years pastor OF church
In the island OF Maui, is now in Rochester
In conversation with a reporter OF the Poat-
Erpress Mr.. GULIcK draws a striking con-
trast between tho monarchy which Mr.
CLEVELAND wishes TO restore. and the
Provisional Government which Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND wishes to overthrow:
"EALLusuL Vas not at ell OF royal blood. but wa,

II will not dispose OF such testimony as
this to sneer Mt the witness as mis-
sionary's SON" Tho sympathies OF the
American people are with the sons OF the
American missionaries who have civilized
and Christianized Hawaii. Mr.. GULIcK
goes on to say:
American Christians spent 81 FOO 900 in Christian.

jurists shaped her civil Institutions American teach
srs organized and are now chiefly carrying on her
schools American merchants have developed her
commerce. American brains have made her indus.

thber the great steamers which carry the produce to
America. Hawaii Is tho only truly American colony
upon the face OF the H. she owes everything to
Amsrca and America owes II to herself and to human
iy to carry to completion the good which she has
begun IL she deserts her children IL she turns over
the weak md helpless aSaians to cruel espotism:
n America overthrows the only thoroughly good Gov
eminent the Iiawaiisns have ever had to rsinstate
sunten and rotten throne she will have Joined hands
with despoi,m in crushing worthy people"
No Hawaiian has stated more simply or
forcibly the main question that is behind
all the miserable details OF Mr.. CLEvELASps
policy Of infamy. These eloquent words
appeal to m American sentiment that is
Unreasonable and will provo irresistible.
