HONOLULU, II. l., Dec. 10, 1898.
"On the 18th of November news came
by way of Sydney that President Cleve-
land favored restoration. People were so
Friday, the Oath, word reached us by way
of Vancouver that the administration
favored restoration, and that If necessary,
force would be used. Since then people
nave been scarcely able to contain them
selves with indignation. Think of It'll The
great republic of the United States by
force, or any other Way, restoring de-
PRAYED queen-deposed because of her
own unlawful acts, and because the intel
ligence and patience of the community
would no longer endure such tyranny.
After eight months of waiting, (sinoe Cleve-
land took of6ce), after he had recognized
the provisional government and twice sent
US an accredited minister, he suddenly in
forms the American people, after the sd-
journment of congress, which had no
knowledge of his policy that the monarchy
is to be restored. He expected, too. that
it would be restored about the time the re-
port was being read in the United States
For some reason, to send dispatches he
says, the new American minister here, Mr..
Willis, delayed. We read the papers from
all over the United States, both democratic
and republican, how they denouncs in loud
est terms the outrage.
Wednesday at Punahou public school, q
fine picture of General Armstrong was un-
yelled. The school house was his old home
When the call came in the United States
for men in 81, he went and was a brave
soldier, and has done, as you know, more
than any other man, for the negro and
Indian; and died an honored man. Yet
when his comrades here try to throw off
the shsckels that enslsvs them, they are
ruthlessly showed aside in favor of thor
oughly bad and unprinoipled woman. A
republic restores corrupt monarchy!
Because its president says: "The queen
was depossd by the aid Of its republican
United States minister, and the naval
forces'; which is not true. Mr.. John L
Stevens was diplomat of experience and
Christian gentleman, who did not, in the
slightest degree, exceed his authority.
Cleveland sent out a man, Mr.. Blount, with
paramount authority" (from himself not
from Congress) to investigate. A man,
who, when he saw a native said: "Why,
DC is black, isn't hea' "Yes, (" said the gen.
tleman addressed, "did you expect him to
be whiteF' Results of his report show, 80
far as we are yet able to learn, that he
came out here as lawyer to take evidence
on the other side. Respected men here,
who ought to have been asked, were un-
sought. The provisional government is
the best government ever had here, and If
the United States had courteously refused
to annex us,very we'll, but this has stirred
the people to the depths, and cannot say
what will follow. 1t remains with the
president of the United States-yes, and
the people, too. You, who know Us and
can trust US, let your voices be heard in
denunciation of the great wrong the ad-
ministration in Washington even propose
against its American colony. The church
yesterday Thanksgiving day. was decor
ated with Hawaii and American fsgs-ths
latter over the dssk.
1t made me shudder ct first, but I re-
membered that the flag represents a good
nation which would help US, while the
president would crush as, and dishonor
the flag. One of the quotations at our
Thanksgiving dinner was this, which ap-
plies to us 80 we'll, I put 1t In here:
''While the nag with stars bedecked
Threatens where it should protect,
And the law shakes hand with crime.
What is left us but to wait,
Match our patience to our fate,
And abide the better me?"
Look on the map and only little spot
represents Hawaii, but 1t also represents
men of character and principle, who will
stand by the provisional government they
have established. Is not your great repub-
lie then, large enough to redress the wrong
and great injustice, proposed against the
men of old New England stock, and their
comrades9 Such men al the Bsckwiths and
Mr.. Hosmer of your town, who are ready
to buckle on their arnor. Should trouble
come, the fault I am sure lies not with
the democratic party, bat with those men,
Cleveland and Gresham"
