Thank you,
We wish you the same
On its merits the house minority report on the Hawaiian situation is of so little value that it does not merit even so much as passing notice in congress. It is made up of meaningless platitudes and, in its entire lack of cogent argument, it is as false as any production of modern times in the way of a state paper. A year ago, when the facts concerning the overthrow of the Hawaiian government were not known, considerable enthusiasm for annexation was manifested in this country. It has died out; and the disposition to get out of a bad scrape is now so widespread in this country that the republican minority report will be thrown aside as a worthless contribution to the political blather skite of the times in which we live.
