They undertook to rush through the treaty annexing those islands in the last days of Harrisons Administration by sending out a deliberate falsehood. signed by the sons of missionaries whose fathers went to Hawaii to convert the inhabitants to Christianity and whose sons have stolen all the lands of those people and their government beside. Now. let us see what they have been doing since our flag went up.

Last year they imported a Buddhist priest and set up a Buddhist temple. because they said it made the laborers more quiet. attending church every Sunday. while the planters went on with this performance. The article in the Hawaiian Independent to which I have referred is as follows: We daily see a large number of Galiciansin the chain gang working at the quarries and on the roads.
