Minister OF the Hawaiian Crown
i one Of the loudest mourners st
the funeral Of the monarchy,
BIount's report contains two inter
views from him, and S long state
ment containing about 1900 words,
entitled A Footnote 10 Hawaiian
History" From this footnote are
culled the following extracts:
Here Is s description Of the first
legislature elected under the Con-
stitution Of 1897
The mental sud moral obliquities Of
the lawgivers were plainly outlined in
their PHYSICAL defOrmities, IS seven
eichths Of the whole number were
either pigeon-toed, knock-kneed or
bow-lecged, and served IS excellent
Illustrations OF the well-known ply
siolozical principle or truth OF the
general harmony Of mental snd ply

This Is his sketch Of Kalakaua
in contrast with the Thurston Cabi-
net:
The community, the public ST large,
soon realized that instead OF being
ruled over BY one king, who, however
iniudicious he might be st times,
never failed 70 realize thst he was the
first gentleman Of the realm, they
were being ruthlessly dominated by
four kings. who were perSOni1catlOns
OF arrogance and bOOrish ignorance.
The Wilcox instruction Of 1889
Is described by Mr.. Quick IN
spirit Of which the following para
graphs afford 8 fair sample
When the news Of the affair spread
over town our missionary friends were
disnzyed, aud had no idea Of what 10
Do. IS there seemed to be little incli-
nation on the part Of the public to
heID them out. However, their old
tactics stood them in good service, and
by 10 o'clock in the forenoon, by the
tfme-hOuored trick OF promises and
coin. they got together 8 motley body OF
sharpshOOters to attack the compare
&
grounds. The attacking party Occu-
pied the buildings surrounding the
Palace ward. and from safe point Of
vantage began s fusilade fatal 10 the
kznaka, the missionaries themselves
taking the greatest delight in pick
ing them off, as Dole and the Others

II the Hawaiian needed any further
proof Of the true sentiments cherished
for himself BY the descendants Of the |
old missionary teachers, the savage |
alacrity with which they seized the |
first opport unity to shoot him like z |
rar in s hole from safe cover would |
seem 70 have been sufficient TO dispel |
auy remaining doubt.
NJ. Quick has. Of course, g great |
deal to say about the revolution Of
1898. What follows viii give g
fair idea Of what he considers his
torical accuracy
The revolutionary aHuexatiouists, in
justification Of their action, have l
raised the old cry OF IS57, Of the neces-
sity OF stable government proper rep
reseutatiou, honest administration, /
prevention Of riot and blOodshed, |
maintenance Of law and order, etc, 1
when as 8 matter Of fact there Is not /
nov, and never has been, the least
danger Of disorder or opposition to Law
except at the hands Of reyolUtiouists
themselves. The rant in the speeches
st their meeting in the Rifles armory |
OF the 18th OF January, and in their /
proclamation and the mock heroic
utterauces Of Wilder see Two Weeks
Of Hawaiian History, pages Is and Isl
when be assumed the Craftsmanship |
Of the meeting, are amongst the poor
est examples imaginable OF s stale
herring drawn across q trail. There
has been no fraud discovered nor NAL
fezsance unearthed, nor great wrong
righted; on the contrary, thefts and |
spOliatiOns have been committed IN
der the very noses Of the Provisional
Government with apparent impunity,
the probability being that exposure
would be disagreeable, a. it would be
likely 70 implicate more or less dis
tinguished members Of their own pre-
cioUs crew.
The bald fact stands out in plain
view today exactly as it did in 1857,
that the sole prompting motive OF the
missionary revOlutionists was in both
cases lust OF power, coupled with 3
desire to possess themselves of the
property Of another without giving
compensation therefor, sentiments
which they enjoy in common with the
vulgar highEayman and his more
gentlemanly prototype, the flibuster-
