what the Native Papers Say.


W. NJ. GIBSON AND @. W. PnIPo AT THE KISAU HOUSE.
Gibson to Pilipo: "This is .he end of the bust
ness is it not? We have contented each other in
speech, and through the newspapers"
| Pilipo to Gibson: Perhaps So"
/ have been an opponent of the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs during the several late legislative
sessions. have opposed him because of the many
faults of administration he committed in the late
legislature, as well as for reasons 1 have shown.
| Because IL is an impoSsibility for him to walk
straight or to stick to his oft repeated assertion
that he was n man who loved this people, who
had great love for them" But as 1t appeared to
me this assertion was inconsistent with his deeds,
because / frequently made propositions TO him
| without avail as President of the Board Of
Health, which will be found recorded in the min
utes Of the late session of the Legislature of 1SS
II might have appeared then as If he were weak
because he was new in office, and that when he
had become more seasoned then the work would
get on ; but to the present time he has remained
inefficient and reak-limbed regarding the sanitary
condition of the people. The only thing that
moves along is giving very high salary out of the
money that was set aside for the sanitary care of
the people--to his son-in-aw.
What is lie Mr.. Gibson doing As President of
the Board of Health for the health of the people,
save what Dr. Fitch may be doing
What is he doing to root out the disease lepTosy
He has lately sent J. NJ Kapena as an envoy to
JAPAN to return the visit made TO this country by
japanese envoy who was here not long since, and
when he (Kapena) shall have returned what will
the health of the people have been prohtted by
this visit
The thing of the first importance to be attended
to is the public health, and at the same time the
neglect of it is the greatest misfortune to the race
and now that this disease is seen to be spreading
rapidly in the indigenous race OF the land IS OF
the greatest importance to seek to check this
spread and, if possible, to cure it. But no mission
is sent out for this important end and all that is
said about it is, Leave the Hawaiians to their
disease, leprosy there graves for them at ka-
lawao, and what matters it if all the Hawaiians
perish in that way - This is the kind of atten-
ton Gibson, as President of the Board of Health,
gives to the sanitary condition of the people
Where now is that great love of his which filed his
mouth in the Legislative sessions of 1873, of 1880
and 1882 1t has vanished, it has gone 1t was a
a voice begotten of cunning.
Now shall the Hawaiians entrust their lives TO
the hands of such man as this You should
consider these things, and let us keep on striving
to cast him out of his position. The first OF all
deceyers promised to lead Adam and Eve IN
pleasant way, persuading them to forsake their
first instructions, and that thus they should doubt
less be truly blessed We have not suffered much
on their account.
Our King is the first Adam to be entrapped by
this man /; he makes seductive approaches regard
ing the coronation. Yes, he catches at the bait,
his mouth is hooked, and the tax follows after it
and it will follow until a tremendous load is i'm
posed first a tax of $4,000 for the coronation,
and for entertaining guests $4,000. But the last
sum mentioned will not suffice for the 5000 or more
who have been invited to come and witness the
CEREMONY They are persons of high rank, and
they must be entertained according TO their rank.
Provided hundred princes and princess royal, not
to mention kings, come 1t would be shame for us
10 think of entertaining them with bare S2O,OOO.
We shall be obliged to feed them on salt, little
kukui nut sauce (innmona), luau, and some poi.
How would that appear Nor What shall we do
then IL we entertain them in manner betttlng
their rank the cost will not be less than quarter
Of million or half a million of dollars, or even
more.
am acquainted with this man. | understand
him from the words out of his own mouth. l. He
is a man ambitious for office. 2. he is reyolu-
zionist (hOolahul aupuni), and at heart traitor.
On these two points intend to specify, and my
friend the Hon. j. Nawahi is my witness to the
truth between us.
In his apartments in the Hotel during the ses-
sion of 1873 he invited us two for several evenings
to listen 10 his conversation. That was few even
ines after the failure in the House of his Resolution
of confidence in the Ministry the Wilder Min
istryl. The first evening he manifested to us his
disaifectiOn TO kalakaua /: +" he had been OF great
assistance in helping him to the throne, by setting
forth his royal genealogy, and by earnestly per-
suading Hawaiians and foreigners until ali we're
brought over in body, but he has not been mind
ful of my services to him. AT the present time
We see the Government is very weak, the Ministers
are weak. For that reason am ambitious to do
something before my death to make the name Of
Gibson famous, so that my grandchildren shall
proclaim that their grandfather overturned this
He went on to narrate the story of Cromwell,
military chieftain of England, who put to death
the King and his Queen (sie), and how he re
manned for a time at the head of the Government
until new King was chosen. " If the Hawaiian
people wish to do this, let them do IT," In my
opinion he wanted TO enter into his disa1ection
and conspiracy but his skill and rascality did not
avail to win these two Hawaiians over to his plans
For three nights be abored to persuade us and the
burden of his converse argument was as l have
stated above, but he did not prevail over us
oh HAEaiians call as witness the living
God who saw US three in the chamber of this man
lGibsOnl that these words in very truth came
from his mouth. Not word Of this sort was ut
tered by either of Us two he alone was the one
WHO uttered them. When we departed, we con-
versed together regarding the Infamous character
Of this foreigner and felt sure II was true that he
had plotted against other countries and had been
imprisoned for the same canse, and we called to
mind his cruelty TO certain HavaiiAns at Lanai.
These words Of his to US are our strong reason
for determined opposition to him and utterly abb
hOrring him. The great book well asks, Can the
Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his
spots r This applies to such man as Gibson
Gibson is like a snake benumbed by the cold,
that is laid in the bosom of a man when he be-
comes warm be will bite the one who gives him
shelter.
His character is that Of a uialcontent, reTolu-
ZIONIST, d rebel. He is one over whom money has
power 10 buy over to treason
o KalakAua, this man is viper hidden in thy
bosom; be daily favns before you with his sJcso-
phautic arts striving 70 eutrup you In his net do
not spare him. Listen to this voice Of your land,
il IS not fgment Of the imagination.
Do not desire him, do not be deceived by his
falseho0ds invented merely TO please your ears
Turn and listen to the voice OF the people, the
voice OF God.
o. kAiakKua, your safety and the safety Of your
Government lies with the people not with single
man. not with four men One man is not the
GoFernment, nor are these four men the Govern
mant but the people ara the Government
Turn your ear TO the voice Of those who are
feeling your Government, Simplifying il with what
Is necessary to its progress, fh1 support OF is
officers and Of the Royal family.
