motion throughout The land and it wal
caused in this wise. Dnriug the latter
part Of the RnIership Of Benjamin Har.
rison, the Sandwic Islands, lying about
six hundred leagues southwest OF the
United States, threw off the yoke O
their bondage andrevolted against theil
Queen even Liliuok alani and compelled
her to abdicate the throne. New, the
people OF the aforesaid islands did desire
greatly to become attached to the Unit
ed States. And, behold, they prayed
for the United States 10 protect and as
sist them in their struggle for freedom
And the ambassador Of the United
States did listea 10 their prayers and he
did command The vessels in the harbor
belonging to the United States 10 pro-
tect the inhabitants Of those islands
yea, even to the shedding of blood.
And, behold, he sent a message to the
United States, informing the people
thereof what he had done. And the
people ofthis country did rejoice at his
actions and with one accord exclaimed,
well done, thou good and faithful
seryantp
Now. these same islands were very
fruitful and the other nations OF the
earth did covet them exceedingly, es-
pecially the land Of Great Britain, " no
was very rich in lands, yea, so rich
that the sun never set on her possess
ions. But the islands wanted none of
her but rather that they be annexed 10
the United States and thatfhey become
part and parcel of tina. country and
have voice in the chief synagogue Of
the nation And thus it was when
Grover Cleveland took his seat as Chief
Ruler Of the United States.
And, it came TO pass, that the first
act OF his administration was to recall
the ambassador that was sent to these
islands by Benjamin Harrison and send
in his stead one of his own servants
whose. name was Blonnt. And he com
manded BIount to pull down the Amer
lean flag. which was the emblem of pro-
lection by the United States.
And this man Blount did straig hiwav
proceed TO these islands and did do as
he was commanded. And the Ameri- |
can flag was. taken down and he COM
mandsd the soldiers, who had left their
ships in order to protect the citizens,
to return thereto and left the inhabit-
ants to the mercy of those who wished
to make them their prey.
And, it came to pass, that when it
became noised abroad what had been
done, that the people of the United
States were exceeding wroth with
their ruler, yea, even those who had
BEEN the most eager to have this man
Grover 10 rnse over them. And they
wrote epistles and had them published
denouncing the actions of their Chief
ruler.
And, 1t came to pass, that the time
drew near for the chief priests of the 4
people to assemble themselves together
according to the proclamation sent ont
by their chief ruler, Grover Cleveland. {
And they came from the east aud the {
west, fromi4he north and the south {
and didisft down in The synagogue al t
Washington.
And, behold, the chief ruler, Grover S
Cleveland, did send unto them a 10 es. f
age, saying; d
