! been spending some time recently i'm
! the east returned last Friday ON the
Alameda. While gone NJ. Richards
attended the Mohonk conference and
also the meeting of the American Mis-
| sionary Association. In both places he
! spoke concerning Hawaii and its needs.
AS far as Hawaii is concerned
/ said Mr. Richards this morning, the
| speakers seemed to chime in very well
and seemed to create a good impression
/ upon the hearers there. l am satisfied
| that good will revert to Hawaii from
! the meeting.
Judge Francis NJ. Hatch was the
! first speaker and he told of the bust
ness ends of the refund bill and Mas
! followed by Rev. O. +. Emerson, form
erly of this city who spoke of the mis-
! sionary endeavor in the Hawaiian ISL
ands and the relation Of the refund bill
to education, i'm as much, as the money
was needed here to pay salaries and the
like so that the present system could
be improved.
German d. Gilman made a strong
address i'm which Hawaii figured as the
main topic. ! do not think that Hawaii
has another friend more consistent than
Gilman. He was very interesting, US
ing General Armstrong as a connecting
link between the problems in the East
and those of Hawaii
"The recommendations adopted by
the conference were of the most friend
ly attitude towards Hawaii. The last
number of the outlook in dealing with
the conference stated that a Territory
should not be used as a source of re-
venue for the Federal Government but
that her money should be used at home.
The papers have endorsed in the East
the presentations made by the confer
ence that as far as labor is concerned
i'm the islands, Hawaii should deal with
them and also with her own land laws.
They think there as We do here that
we should fight out our own troubles at
home instead of the United States gov
eminent doing it for us
Mr. Richards i'm his Mohonk speech
made that a point upon Which he lalu
the most stress. FOLLOWING IS an eN-
tract:
