Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1894-01-15

sell the right man IN the rignt
place. and subsequent events
have proved the wisdom OF Presi
dent Cleveland In sending to
Hawaii q man and statesman of
Mr.. BIount's abilities and expert
ence.
That an entire stranger and S
foreigner. in one sense of the
word should drop into the Ha-
waiian world in the midst of revo-
lotion accomplished and the ex-
element which always accom-
panies such an upheaval. without
exciting the opposition or distrust
Of eontending factions, was an
exceptional feat"
1T is just probable that no
diplomat of the United States
was ever before seat upon so
delicate mission on such short
notice. who has filed the bill
with such entire satisfaction to
all the interested parties. "
Mr.. Dole SAYS, that. He (Mr.
Blount) saw the country from
his cottage in the center of Homo
lulu. mainly through the eyes OF
the witnesses whom he examin-
ed" Can it be that Mr.. Dole
has forgotten the attentions he
and his colleagues paid to Mr..
Blount during his sojourn in
this city, How frequently they
dined him? How often members
of the present Cabinet were seen
walking with Mr.. Blount
on the streets? How about
the yachting trips. and
the excursions on the railroad!
Have all of those incidents es,
capped Mr.. Dole's memory! 1t is
we'll known that Mr.. BIount
accepted courtesies from the
members of this government and
not from those of the opposition.
Does Mr.. Dole not know, that
Mr. Blount was accustomed to
walk mornings and evenings
about the city? That, the day,
on which Mr.. Dole and his satel-
lites moved their offices, to the
Palace Building, Mr. Blount
took the opportunity of riding
past the government building in
tramcar, and saw that high
handed proceeding for himself?
Yet. Mr.. Dole has the presump-
ton to say. that Mr.. Blount only
saw the country from his cottage.
The remaining allegations con-
tanned in Mr.. Dole's brief, may
be refuted by the following
paragraphs, also taken from that
precious inspired editorial.
The people of Hawaii, with a
few exceptions to be found in the
ultra anti American faction, will
unite in wishing Minister Blount
God-speed."
"The Americans of Hawaii will
hold him in the highest estima-
ton, and will part with him with
regret, no matter what is the
ultimate decision of the United
States regarding the annexation
of these islands.
Mr.. Dole now endeavors to
"show up the misrule of the
Governments under King Kala-
kaua and Queen Liliuokalani.
That point has already beeen con-
clusivly set aside and rebuked
by articles in the HoLoMUA aud
Bulletin. 1t is not necessary to
enlarge upon it here, suffice it to
say, that never in the history of
these Islands have the Hawaiians
been ruled over by such tyrauni-
cal, despotic and oligarchical
methods, as has been experienced
during the past year.
What effect Dole's stupendous
brief may have on President Cleve-
lands policy remains to be seen.
The following extract from a
letter received by gentleman in
this city, from a prominent bust
ness man in San Francisco, shows
appropriation of President Cleve-
land.
Our sympathy is with your
Queen and we feel it would be
simple justice to have her
restored to her rightful throne.
The friends and followers Of the
previous administration seem
determined on making strong
fight in defense of their act, and
are doing all in their power to
create feeling against President
