Alexander's History.

EDITOR HOLOMUA: The History of the Hawaiian Monarchy by Professor Alexander which he has been fit to unite, to uphold his cause, (seems to me) is altogether foreign to the subject at issue. What does he propose to prove by so doing! Has that anything to do with Mr. J. L. Stevens (American Minister) landing forces to overthrow the Queen's Government, a weak and friendly nation: Or does he intend to show the American people, that through the management of the Queen, they themselves were compelled to overthrow her Government not without any aid from the American forces in port. If he can prove that, then, he is nutling to some purpose, but, if he cannot, then I must admit, he is wide of the mark and all his trouble falls flat to the ground. The only question that America is considering is, Did J. L. Stevens with the American forces at his command to overthrow the Monarchy, that is all there is to it, and by that alone the difficulty must be settled, there is possitively nothing outside of that. If he wil ltell the American people the whole details of what happened from the time the Wilcox--Jones Cabinet was put out, to the 18th of January, and tell it truthfully, we could consider ourselves under great obligations to him and would thank him for such good services rendered, from the fact, there are so many reports circulated in our local papers and foreign papers as well, concerning our little unpleasantness, that we want

--- America to know the truth and nothing but the truth, that she may be able to arrive at a just conclusion. That he (Alexander) will not do so, is plain to be seen if we are to judge by the whole rigmarole he has already written. Nothing whatever touching on the main issue. What does America care who was sent to Samoa as Minister or, the history of Gibson, Moreno, the coronotion of King Kalakaua, his Hale Naua with its ball of twine, his morality or the Opium and Lottery Bill and all such trash. She does not care one continental about such history. But America does care to know whether she is implicated in the overthrow of the Monarchy, though the means employed by J. L. Stevens her Representative here in Hawaiinei, that is al lAmerica wants to know, and nothing more. If he (Alexander) cannot enlighten them on that pont, he had better come hom an earn what he is paid to do, by the Government. and not be writing a lot of cock and stories which does not cast one ray of light towards the question involved. No, Alexander all the rubbish that you can write will not alter the doom which awaits you and your clique. The hand-writing on the wall, is plain i nsight. There is one thing evidently beyond any doubt whatever. the President of the United States of America is convinced that a wrong has been committed to the Hawaiian people, and that, that the wrong he intends to rectify, in spite of all the reports to the contrary. He feels that it is his duty to undo the wrong when proofs conclusive are at hand to his own satisfaction knowing as he does, to do otherwise, would be a mockery of justice. He is convinced also, that Congress will bear him out when they find out the method used by the Revolutionists here, aided by their own Representative (J. L. Stevens) to overthrow the Hawaiian Government, a weak and friendly nation.
