THE ENGLISH ADDRESS.
II am exceedingly gratified to have
the first public reception ever rendered
! to me as Governor of Hawaii, given
almost exclusively by Hawaiians." said
the Governor, because / feel that i am
among the Hawaiians and l am not
| afraid or bashful as when among white
people. l feel a good deal as you feel
and you must not feel shy with me.

1.-THE new administration Is one that
desires to serve the people. We are
public servants, / am the servant of
you all; you see that any servant who
has so many masters cannot do things
to please all of them, but I hope to
please the hapanui (ma1ority) and If
there is any public servant, any man
drawing a salary from the Territorial
government that treats one of you, the
humblest of you, in way improper
and without due consideration, l Will
consider 1t a favor If you will let me
know, for we will have none of those
men in the employ of the government.
1.-THE law Is not out of the reach of
the poorest and most humble man.
nor Is the richest and most powerful
above 1t.
After ! am through here, want to
hear from you, the people, I do not
want to monopolize all the time but
there are a few things I want to know
from you'll wish to know what your
wants are.
