In the light thrown on il by Miuister
Thurston. and now sgsia by Mr.. Stevens.
Blounts work in con lection with the Hs-
waiian matter is simply despicsble. There
is nothing significant in his report which
was net distorted in order TO make it serve
hi. purely partisan purfos,. His tale is a
fraud. and the worst Of it il that it SHOULD be
perpetrated ia an affair of international i'm
portsnce. The conspiracy Of which Blount
has cen the appropriate tool has not SIM
ply sacrificed our prestige and influence
in the Pacific, Frustrated our commerce and
surrendered public rights which every adj
ministrstion for seventy years has jealousy
guarded; its wrong is not only to the sturdy
little American colony ia Hawaii which dur

ests and carried on an admirable work of
progress and development; its offence 10
