find those who instead of indulging in
wide and liberal views, will choose
only those conditions most easily
connected with forbidding assOcia-
tions, who, amid the gorgeous hues of
the most beautiful foliage will see but
faded leaves; who, from among the
bright and cheerful songsters of the
groves, see only the bird with the
wounded wing; throughout the flow
cry wilderness of the fields, or the
gorgeous bloom of the cultivated gar
den, they can find only the blighted
blossoms, the broken stem, or the
fatal ravages of the caRkeT-worm In
short, they are always af1oat on "a sea
of troubles"
Our guest and his family have been
identified with the interest of these
islands for many years. The name is
part of the history and closely inter
woven in the events of the recent po-
litical change. He is one of the men
and a part of this constituency who
by their action in the recent blOodless
conflict helped to force the hands that
mark the progress of civilization full
century ahead; one OF that class of
men who never surrender the princi-
pies of self government for personal
aggrandizement or selfish gain. When

so imbued with the spirit of loyalty
and devotion to country that they
will leave the judicial bench and don
the habiliments of war and enter into
the thickest of the fight for the cause
of right, you may feel sure of fair
dealing, sure of being surrounded by
a pure and lofty spirit of patriotism.
Men who love the sweetness and sac
redness of home, who cherish civil
liberty, wholesome constitutional gov
ernment and who believe that in up
holding such principles they are at
the same time working for the honor
and glory of God, are safe men to be
trusted in the ship of state.
And now my friends, standing this
day upon these wave-beaten shores,
living, breathing and loving, under
the inspiration of the music of the
waves, we extend to our true and
trusted friend for and in behalf of all
his former friends and neighbors a
most hearty and grateful welcome.
The mellow voice of the sheeted water
fall as it drops from its dizzy height
with a soft and silvery sound, shouts
welcome. Out yonder, the rising and
falling of the restless pillows in ac-
cordance with the mandate of the
mighty ocean, thunders to you a
grand majestic welcome with its
surf-beat upon the shore.
Your friends, for themselves, each
wish to express to you the hope that
as time with it's solemn and majestic
steps falls upon you like the mantle,
no sOrdid nor unpleasant cares may
appear to desOlate your mind, as you
walk down the declivity of life's path
way. May you and yours be sur.

best and sweetest attributes-the
sanctity of eternal peace. Let US all
unite enthusiastically in the senti-
ment of "God bless the flag; long live
the Republic of Hawaii; God bless the

this commonwealth.
"Let it be one flag, one land.
One heart, one hand,
One nation forever more
AS Colonel Little took his seat, Cap
tain 3. H. Brown presented the
Sheriff with an elegant gold badge,
the insignia of Office set in garnets,
the gift of the Hilo police. By this
time Sheriff Hitchcock had recovered
his second wind, and the thunder of
applause which greeted him as he
arose to reply indicated palmer than
human words how near he is to the

be good citizens. Sheriff Hitchcock
spoke in the native tongue for the
most part and feelingly referred to the
universal evidence of friendship &C
corded him on every hand since his
return home. He spoke in high praise
of those who are now administering
the affairs of the Government and of
the loyalty to the Government and
laws by the better and more rational
of those who had been deluded into
the hope that the former status would
be restored.
Now every one seems to be con-
Yinced that the only way to be happy
and prosperous is to fall in line with
the tenets of this Republic as the best
form of administering laws on these
islands yet established. On every
hand, even from those who differ
from him as to policy, Hon. f. G.
Hitchcock has the warm, hearty and
earnest endorsement Of all the best
citizens of this island. The natural
ability of Sheriff Hitchcock to organ
iZe and control men and the efficiency
of ex-Sheriff @. II. Williams, now
the Deputy-Sheriff, and the high re-
gard in which they are both held by
the police force all over the island, is
an indication of the splendid service
which may be expected in the admin
istratioD of the law.
THEY REBELLED.
