kccB Emma and TOndyISms
Toadyism is the word. A bronzed
daughter Of the Sandwich Islands visits
San Francisco and at once throws that
burg of strong winds, dense fogs and ug-
ly earthquakes into terrible ferment-
If the Hawaiian matron controlled that
small cluster Of islands Immediately to
our westward, there might be some pro-
priety in awarding her small amount Of
national respect; it would bewell enough
that Alcatraz should belch few cultural
sounds from his metal mouths--that the
carpet hero, Halleck, in company with the
redoubtabIe heads Of the Postoffce and
Custom House. should make the veteran
Polyncsian short and courteous visit
We cOncedc the Sandwich Islands are
national domain and yet of but little con-
sequence among the family of nations
their entire population is considerably
less than moicty of the city of ST. Louis.
Emma is dowagcr only, and her great
ness consists in being the relict of the de-
ceased trother Of the drunken vagabohd
who now wears the regal purple. There
are few Americans who concoct and ad-
minister the laws upon the Sandwich Is
lands, and with the commercial greed
characteristic Of their race, garner to
themselves the substance Of the natives.
The poor Islanders arc fast succumbing TO
to vencreal diseases and the vices of civ
ilization-but another illustration of the
rapid dccadcncc of inferior races when
brought in contact with the whites. Was
it not this same Emma, in the bloom and
heyday Of her dusky charms, that OBJ
served to her Waiting partner "when |
dances / sweats, and when / sweats |
smells" And why have not physiolo-
gists clucidated this matter of "rankncss"
that pertains to the dark-skinned sons and
daughters Of earth. 1t was well for the
adulating ones Of our Pacific metropolis,
that an ever clustering Boreas intervened
| between their nostrils and Emma's eff.
fuvia.
Years ago, in Baltimore, the blooded
ones of that city released the quadrupeds
from the vehicle in which was installed
courtesan danseuse; dolts and besotted
! bipeds drew the smiling harlot from the
theatre to her hotel. There came along
half dementcd Hungarian by the name
Of Kossuth, and our people licked the
dust on which he trod, following him
about and yelping in his trail and wag-
ging their tails like so many spaniels.-
ThecisAtlantic Dickens happened upon
our shore, and he received the ovation of
a Roman cOnquercr; men and woman
hung upon him as though he were sweet

Little Dorrit" turned away in disgust
from such fulsome regard and stung them
with bitter but proper sarcasm. Nicto-
ria sent her eldest boy among US; he
needed the information of travel; the
youth dressed well but had but little or
no brains-long intel marriage has vastly
deteriorated the blood royal of Europe;
there is more strength in the finger OF
Napoleon than in the conjoint thighs Of
all his fellow sovereigns. But he sprung
to empire, a cOmmoner and so this sprig
of Anglo Saxon royalty was feted and ca
ressed as Macedonian Alexander old
women shrieked with ecstacy if he conde-
scended to permit them to touch his pam
falcons; the highest in the land, priest,
soldier, and politician, implored him just
to vent upon them some of his sacred spit
tie. A little fellow came from Japan
he was not even son of the moon, but of
the humblest lineage-almond-eyed and
swarthier than Cleopatra. Oh, hut he
was fondled and caressed, and crowds of
both sexes followed him about, singing
peans; they nearly frightened the poor
bantam Mongolian out of his wits, and
the Emperor of Japan, upon his return
to his native land, had him executed for
creating so much commotion.
The sycophantic masses will jeer at and
throw stones at the President of these
United States, and yet fall down and wor-
ship any miserable foreigner that happens
among US. Assuming ato disclaim rank
and all social and political distinctions, q
title maddens them. While we pity the
Malay Emma, we thoroughly despise the
silly crowds who followed her about in
San Francisco; the poor feminine bar
barian had hard time of it with her abb
clifton adulators.-[Los Angeles News.
