MORE FALSEHOODS HAILED.
Prof. Alexander Scores the Errors
of Mr. Blount's Report.
EVERY SHOT FIRED A BULL'S-EYE.
A Telling Iiesume of the Blount Report
Commissioner Paramount' Preju
dice Exposed He Slanders the Por
tuguese Colony rrof. Alexander's
Testimony Ignored or Suppressed.
The following is the text of a
Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune. It has not been
published elsewhere :
Professor William D. Alexander, for
twenty years Surveyor-Uenerai or ia-
wan anu ior iuu muo j. xv,.v..
of Oahu College at Honolulu, has been
already quoted in tbese dispatches as
one of the most trustworthy and un
prejudiced witnesses of the events
which led up to the Hawaiian revolu
tion last January. Professor Alexan
der is the son of one of the early
American missionaries to Hawaii,
and was born on the islands. He
is a graduate of Yale, having been the
salutatorian of the class of 1855. He
ia o fallow nf t.h "Roval Geographical
Society, is the author of a Hawaiian
grammar and of the standard history
of Hawaii, and is considered one of
the ablest, best informed and most im
partial men in Hawaii. Mr. Alexan
der was one of the authorities con
sulted by Mr. Blount for information
to embody in his now famous report,
but the venerable Hawaiian scholar
was astonished to find, when the re
port appeared, that nearly everything
he had furnished had been suppressed
by Mr. Cleveland's "Paramount Com
missioner." Speaking of Mr. Blount's
report, Professor Alexander said:
BLOUNT'S IIEAIj PURPOSE.
nTKn lnnrr ATrnpP.ted reDOrt of the
Hob. J. H. Blount on Hawaiian affairs
has just been laid before me. It is
impossible, at short notice, to review
a state documeni 01 sucu uupuiwc,
but justice demand? that some state
mnnf oVirmld hA made in regard to the
attitude of the Provisional Govern
ment toward Colonel isiouni. 01111-Ar.-
f Ua instiPA of its cause, the
Provisional Government afforded the
Commissioner every possioie iaciiuy
.i-.oSrinfT infnrmfition. and soared
neither time nor money 111 furnishing
him with full details on every suDjeci
nndpr investigation.- While it was
supposed by the Provisional Govern
f nnfi ita friondsthat the chief ob
ject of his mission was to report upon
tneir oner 01 auutAauuu
States, he carefully concealed his real
object, which seems to have been to
make out a case against men nnc w
..n onri atrainst. the character of a
former representative of his own Gov
ernment. , . x. . . .
With the approval of the Cabinet,
and at Mr. Blount's request, I pre
pared full and careful statements on
the past history and present owner
ship of the lands of the country, oh
the constitutional histoiy of the Gov
ernment, on the political events of
Kalakaua reign, and the causes that
led to the revolution, and an account
of the unfinished annexation treaty of
1854. He has printed the account of
the treaty of 1S54, a comparatively un
important matter of ancient history,
but has f-uppresseu an mc wiuc in
formation which I furnished him,
substituting therefor the statements
of the royalist Cabinet and sympathi
zers Under the direction of the Min
ister of Finance, other officers of the
Hawaiian Government made elabor
ate and accurate reports for his use on
a variety of subjects. He never, how
ever, offered to have my testimony
taken down in regard to the fact3 of
the late revolution, of which he knew
that I had been an eye-witness.
THE METHODS OF A PR0SECUTIKO
ATTORNEY.
44 While I do not question his hon
esty of purpose, his methods were
omen rf . rkrospp.iitini? attornev. and
his report is an astonishing piece of
special pieaumx j.i a pci jcvi
beginning to end with a stiange hos-
ilifw fn thfi American colonv. built
up and fostered by the policy of the
United States ior ine last iony taia
which has created the civilization of
these islands, developed their re
sources and opened an important field
nmmprpft TO rnn iraciuu oiaies.
I With their struggles for decent and
honest government curing me last
fifteen years, he has no sympathy
Tn his letter of Annl 6 he
condemns them for participatlng in
the affairs of these islands.' In his
view 'the character of the people of
xuese laiauus is auu ixjuow c
whelmingly Asiatic,' which he prob
rrls as a consummation de-
i'voutly . to be wished,' and he depre
cates the iuea 01 lmraigrauis irum
the United ..States being aoie to nna
encouragement In the matter of ob
taining homes in these islands.' He
seems to think;- as Governor .IcDiifne
of South Carolina wrote of , the Texans
in 1S3G, that 'having emigrated to
that country they had.' forfeited all
claim tofratprnal regard,' and that
'having left a land of freedom for a
land of despotism with their eyes
open, they deserved their fate.'
"The people of the United States,
however, did not take this view of
the case of the Texans, nor will they
be indifferent to the fate of their
countrymen in Hawaii. On the whole
Colonel Blount's report gives the im
pression that he had so completely
prejudged the case as to be almost im
pervious to any evidence opposed to
lis predilections. His animus is be
trayed by the earliest letters in his
correspondence with theJStato De
partment. His partiality to Royalist
sources of information has led him
into many errom, evoni n regard to
matters not involved in the present
controversy. For example, on page 6
he states that oven bef3re 1876 th
'natives generally read aud wr
English,' which out few of the adult
natives are able to do at the present
time. Again, in the face of full in
formation based on documentary evi
dence, he describes the notorious ex-
Mormon adventurer Gibson, who was
connected with the worst political
scandals in Hawaiian history, as a
man of large iniormation, iree irom
all suspicion of bribery,' who 'led the
natives and some whites.'
His extraordinary statement on
page G that 'the story of the division
(of the land of 18451 is discreditable to
King, chiefs and white residents' is
so flagrantly unjust, and so opposed
to the verdict of all other authorities
on the subject that it discredits the
Commissioner's judgment on all other
subjects. That grand act of Kameha
nieha III, by which he made the poor
serfs owners of their homesteads and
laid the foundation of individual
property in land, and which gained
for fcim the nairo of 'Kamehameu
the Good,' is j tatty considered fa&
glory of his rei$;n, and reflects, be
highest honor both on these' whlt
residents' w ho brought it about and
011 the King and chiefs who volun
tarily . gave up part of their heredi
tary lands and privileges for the good
of their vassals.
A REMARKABLE REMEDY PROPOSED.
"On page S. after briefly adverting
to some of the obnoxious legislation
of Kalakaua's rgn, while ignoring
the main question then at issue, he
proceeds as follows: 'None of the legis
lation complained of would have been
considered a cause for revolution in
any one 01 tue united cstaies, out
would have been used in the elections
to exnel the authors from power. The
alleged corrupt action of the king
could have been avoided by more
careful legislation and would (sic)
have been a complete remedy for the
future.' My reply to this is that the
chief difficulty ay In the autocratic
power of the king, who had the ap
pointment of the Upper House and
packed the Lower House with servile
office-holders, while he also held an
unconditional veto on all the legisla
tion. At the same time, naturaliza
tion, besides being conditioned on five
years' residence and the possession of
real estate, was entirely at the discre
tion of the kincr who refused it to
those foreigners who were opposed to
his corrupt schemes."
"Colonel Blount speaks of the 'al
leged' corrupt action of the king.
This was proved by his own witnesses
in a trial held before the Supreme
Court, information of which I fur
nished to Colonel Blount. The reme
dy suggested by Colorel Blount had
been tried for several successive ses
sions in vain. AH constitutional
inean3 of redress Lad ailed. In 1856
the good people of San Francisco;
finding themselves in a similar plight,
took up arms and expelled the rascals
who had controlled all the machinery
of elections, and in several of the
Southern States the shotgun' has
been resorted to as the only means of
deliverance from 'carpet-bag' ruJe and
negro domination. It ill becomes
Colonel Blount to deny the 'sacred
right of revolution.'
PREJUDICE PLAINLY SHOWN.
"His strong prejudice against the
reform party is shown by his com
ments 011 the constitutional amend
ments, which Kalakaua was com
pelled to accept in 1S87. He shows no
appreciation of the magnanimity and
forbearance of the leaders . n . fraS
movement, who ;alicwed the king to
retaia the throne; and revenues which
he had forfeited r.nd I id not touch a
single right of the natives. He entire
ly ignores a moat important article of
the revised constitution; viz, that 'No
executive or judicial officer, or any
contractor or employee of the Govern
ment, or any person in the receipt of
salary or emolument from the Gov
ernment, shall be eligible to election
to the Legislature of the Hawaiian
Kingdom, or to hold the position of
an elective member of the same. And
no member of the Legislature shall,
during the time for which he is
elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the;: Government, except
that , of a member of the Cabinet.'
This struck at the root of the king's
use of his patronage to control Legis
latures. The power to appoint nobles
was taken from the king and vested
in electors possessed of a moderate
property qualification. Thus the con
trol of the Upper House was taken
from an irresponsible, semi-barbarous
despot anci given to tb better class
of natives and whites. It was the only
wav in which the property and intel
ligence of the country could be assur
ed of any voice in national affairs.
Colonel Blount would apparently be
in favor of leaving all the great inter
ests of the country to th2 unrestiained
mAmv nf nn iimoVant DOrtion Of the "
population, which pays about one
tenth of the taxes and is largely, con
trolled by demagogues of the lowest .
.The first free and fair election by :
secret ballot for twenty years was
held after the ; revolution ol 18S7.
