a native Hawaiian, the Rev
Thomas l.. Quick, for seven years
pastor of a church on the island of
Maui, is now in Rochester In
conversation with a reporter of the
P0SkErpyc0 Mr.. Gulick draws
striking contrast between the mon
archy which Mr.. Cleveland wishes
to restore and the Provisional Gov
ernment which Mr.. Cleveland
wishes to overthrow:
"Kalakaua was not ut all of royal
/ blood but was elected 80 the throne,
and he appointed his sister Mrs. Domi-
mis-, known rs Queen Liliuokalaui, to
succeed him. They both proved un-
worthy sOvereigns. They had no nat
ural right TO the throne by blood. King
kalakaua and his sister, though they
had both received Christian educa-
ton from their earliest years. deliber-
ately attempted to lead the people back
to their old idolatries. The Queen
offered living sacrifices To the goddess
pele at the volcano of Kilauea both be-
fore and after her accession to the
throne. They both led openly immoral
lives, Wilson, the scandalOus paramour

1t will not dispose of such testi

o sympathies Of the American peopl
are with the sons Of the American
