who, finding that the people of
merrie England would no longer
tolerate their intolerance, volun-
tarily exiled themselves to America,
in which country they have been a
political bane, as their descendants
have been in Hawaii 1t is the in
herited nature OF the beast.
Hark at some OF the sacrelegious
names they brought to America
with them. There was Praise God
Barebones, Kill-sin Pimple, Smite-
them hip and-thigh Smith, Through
much circulation we-enter-into the
kingdom of-heaven Jones probably
P. CPS ancestors), etc., etc.
Every one familiar with American
history knows how they attempted
in America the same intolerant per-
secutions of other sects, how they
burnt people at the sake aud pre-
sented the Quakers to the death.
Read this bit from the history OF
Maryland:
Before Leonard Calvert landed
with the colonists of 1884 at St.
Maries, on the Potomac, trading
house had been built there by Clai-
borne, and it therefore may claim
| praoo6anoa oe ba
FIRST SETTLEMENT BY ENGLIsHMEN
in Maryland. What is now called
Horn Point, an annex of Annapolis,
was in 1866 the scene OF bitter bat
tie between the Cavaliers of ST.
Maries and the Puritans of Provi-
dence. 1t appears that the troubles
of England were traDsplanted to
her colonies, and the cry of the
Puritans of ''Downl forever, down
with the mitre and the crownp was
echoed from the Western shore, and
hate and prejudice overthrow for
the time the generous government
of the Calverts."
"Driven from Virginia, where they
had made themselves obnoxious to
the Government, these Puritsns had
accepted the hospitality of Mary
land, and while they claimed the
rights of her citizens, refused to per-
form the duties they involved, and
set about to overthrow the authority
which had given them shelter, lands
and protection. To the cry of "Hey
for st. Mariesw from the cavaliers,
the Puritans opposed, "In the name
OF God, fall on!" and with the assist
ance OF an armed ship the men OF
st. Maries were defeated and made
prisoners. SIN the name of God,"
and disregarding the rights OF war
or the equality of mercy" they pro-
ceeded in
COLD BLOOD TO SHOOT THEIR PRISONERS
and had already murdered several
when the supplication of their wives
and the refusal Of some of their
soldiers to act so cowardly a part,
saved the remnant. For time the
"Land OF the Sanctuary" was prey
to ianatical anarchy. Those are
letters OF this time, written to
friends "at home" in Old England,
of touching interest, as coming from
women Of the colony, and intro
ducing us to the trials of many
gentlefolk in the face of offensive
vulgarity and injustice, Incidental
ly the Puritans are said "not to be
contented with freedom for them
selves OF conscience, and estate Gall
OF which are established to them by
law there, and enjoyed by them in
as ample manner as even any people
did in any place in the world), unless
they mag haze the liberty TO debar
others from the like freedom, and that
they may domineere and doe what
they please"
How like chapter that is from
Hawaiian history. And such are
the antecedents OF the men who
have brought into Hawaii bigotry,
intolerance, treachery, treason and
revolution, yet roll tho whites of
their Puritanic eyes towards heaven,
