RECEIVES
A WARM GREETING

said the speaker. He said that Hawaii
was the advanced outpost of American
civilization, in a Territorial sense, in
the Pacific ocean, and that it became
the people to keep pace with the busi-
ness progress of the nation. This Ha-
waii was doing, said the attorney.
Nothing in these islands has more inn
pressed me-" he said, than the enjoy
ment and pleasure, the peace, quiet
and harmony, and at the same time
progress"
Judge Estee called on Col Fitch, and
the latter began with a happy story.
which raised a general laugh. He pro-
ceeded to deprecate the business prog
ress Of the nation to which Highton
had referred, declaring that the intel
lectudl leaders of the past had no
equals in the present generation. There
were no orators of the present day un-
der 40 years of age, who could take the
place of some of the old-time orators
said Fitch mentioning a list Of men
whose oratOry is a part of the history
of the nation. The material progress
which was taking place instead was a
substitute not to the Colonels liking.
But no man can say that American
oratory has fallen into decadence while
he looks into the face of our guest"
we shall have the pleasure of hearing
him at length. We don't care much
what he talks on, as long as we have a
chance to hear him, and if we don't
agree with what he says we shall ap-
plaud the beauty of expression with
which he clothes his thought"
Judge Estee called upon Cecil Brown
as a representative of the Hawaiian
bar. Senator Brown extended a well
come to the visitor in behalf of the le-
gal profession of Hawaii, and said
that all would treasure the memory Of
their meeting with the ex-senator.
Judge Davidson was next asked to
speak. "He is not as old as most Of
u.s." said Judge Estee, but still we
should like to hear from him" Judge
Davidson said that he and the others
were all glad to welcome the visitor
The welcome Joint and several" said
Judge Davidson. F. NJ. Hatch respond
ed to a call with similar expressions Of
welcome, saying that people of Ha-
wall had feeling of isolation, and al
ways felt glad when visitors came.
Attorney General Dole extended a
cordial Aloha, Aloha nui," to the vis-
itor, and Judge Estee closed with a few
remarks. Il knew Mr.. Thurston many
years ago." he said, land 1 heard him
address an audience they said con-
tained 10000 people, and 1 guess it did.
1t was in the Republican convention of
1888. He raised all his hearers off their
feet. ! don't know whether he could
do it now or not" added the judge,
but he did it then"
