shadows appropriately the house of a king who reigns in right of
it。 If this be all； it should not trouble us long。 Germany has
shown she can be generous； it now remains for her only to forget a
natural but certainly ill…grounded prejudice； and allow to him； who
was sole king before the plenipotentiaries assembled； and who would
be sole king to…morrow if the Berlin Act could be rescinded； a
fitting share of rule。 The future of Samoa should lie thus in the
hands of a single man； on whom the eyes of Europe are already
fixed。 Great concerns press on his attention； the Samoan group； in
his view； is but as a grain of dust； and the country where he
reigns has bled on too many august scenes of victory to remember
for ever a blundering skirmish in the plantation of Vailele。 It is
to him … to the sovereign of the wise Stuebel and the loyal
Brandeis； … that I make my appeal。
