The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-08-05
One Price COthierS, TailOTS and HaberdaShOrS,

brilliant lady appeared with cordiality
OF welcome that made us feel much at
home. The president is a pronounced
Christian man, deeply interested in all
religious affairs. as well as secular his
private life beyond criticism, honored by
both political parties, talented. urbane,
attractive, strong. and fit for any position
where conscientiousness and culture and
downright earneStness are requisites. 1t
was to me matter of surprise that at a
time when politics are red-hot in the
Hawaiian Islands. and President Dole is
very positive in his opinions on all sub
jectS. heard not one word of bitterness
spoken against him. Hawaiians and for
eigners are alike his eulogists. When l
referred to the tremendous question he
and his associates had on hand, he said
it was remarkable how many of the busy
men of these islands were willing to give
so much of their time, free of all charge,
to the business of the new government,
and from what he believed to be patriotic
and Christian motives. The President is
a graduate of Williams College, Massa-
chusetts, and when l asked him if his
opinion of President Hopkins of that COL
lege. was as elevated as that of President
Garfield, he replied: Yes, | think, as
Garfield did, that to sit on one end of a
log, with President Hopkins on the other,
and talk with him on literary matters
would be something like liCeral educa-
ton
The presidents wife is a charm of love
illness and is an artist withal. Her walls
are partly decorated with her pencil
And though under her protest, as though
the room were unworthy of visit. Chief
Justice Judd took me to her studio, where
she passes much of her time sketching
and painting The ride took afterward
with the president and Chief Justice
Judd allowed me still other opportunity
of forming an elevated opinion of the
present head of the Hawaiian govern
ment. The cordiality with which we
had been received by the present ruler
and the former queen Interested us more
and more in the present condition and
the future happiness Of the Sandwich
Islands.
HEARING BOTH SIDES ON HAWAIIAN AT
FAIRS.
Aware of the different ways of looking
at things and of putting things, l resolved
to get the story of Hawaiian affairs from
opposite sides. We have always taken it
for granted that 2 and make 4, and yet
and may be so placed as to make %
The figure 8 is only the figure 6 turned
upside down. There are not many things
like the figure the same whichever side
is up, The different accounts here pre-
sent are reports from different stand

| had opportunity of earnest and pro-
longed conversation with royalist, edu-
Gated truthful, of high moral character,
born in these islands, and of great obser-
walton and experience The following
conversation took place between us:
Question. do you think the ex-Queen
a good woman}"
Answer Il have seen the queen very
often. | have been one of her advisers,
and my wife has been with her much Of
the time from childhood, and has seen her
morning, noon and night, and under all
circumstances, and neither of US has ever
witnessed anything compromising in her
character She has made mistakes as all
make then, but she is fully up TO the moral
standard Of the worlds rulers. She is the
| impersonation of kindness, and neither
nv wife, nor myself, nor anyone else has
ever heard her say word against anyone
In that excellence she is pre-emiuent. In
| proof of her good character / have TO
state the fact that there is not house,
hold in Honolulus that did not feel honored
nv her presence If she had been such a
, corrupt character as some correspondents
have represented her, l do not think that
the best men and women Of the Hawaiian
Islands would have sought her for guest
aud associate"
O. nDo you think she has been unjustly
treated2'
A. II do. She has been most UNANIMOUSLY
