MORENO AND THE CHINESE ALLIANCE

Considering that Mr.. Comfy is
part proprietor of the Commercial
Telegram, Toledo, Ohio, and pre-
sumably furnished the article on
Hawaiian affairs which we reprinted
ON Thursday last, it is hardly ex-
cusable that that paper should have
made such an erroneous statement
respecting "a scheme for forming a
Hawaiian alliance with China" and
the appointment of Celso Cesar
Moreno as "Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Premier, in 1880, in
order to carry out the Kings
Chinese project" Mr.. Comfy was
American Minister resident in Homo
lulu during the whole of the time
that Mr.. Moreno was here, and
should have known that his { More
no's) appointment to office was not
for the purpose of carrying out a
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1883-10-29

scheme of Hawaiian alliance with
China. Whatever 'scheme," if
any, may be contemplated, or may
have been projected in 1880, invol-
wing "a Hawaiian alliance with
China" Moreno certainly was not
its advocate. On the contrary, he
strongly advised the avoidance of
any such alliance. True, he attemp-
ted to establish line of Chinese
steamers between China and these
islands, and this line of steamers
was intended, in part, for the con-
veyance of Cinnamon between the
two countries. But to "establsh a
connection is one thing and to
''form an alliance" is another. So
decidedly was Moreno opposed to
admitting Cinnamon into this country
on the same footing as others, that
he recommended the making of one
law for the white man and native
and another for the Chinaman, con-
tending, among other things, that
Cinnamon should not be allowed to
establish themselves in business,
should not be permitted to come near
the habitations of other nationalities,
but should be kept at work in the
field far away from everybody else,
and at the expiration of their term
of service be compelled to leave the
country or re-engage themselves.
These were the views tenaciously
held and warmly announced by
Celso Cesar Moreno, which those
who new him best, as well as many
intelligent Chinese merchants now in
Honolulu, can testify. How far he
was right or wrong we do not
pretend to say; but simply record
the fact. Can any one believe it
likely that man so bitterly pre-
| JUDGED against the Chinese race and
so obstinately opposed to their being
allowed the rights of free men, should
have been ''made Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Premier for the pur-
pose of carrying out the project of a
"Hawaiian alliance with China?'

the MADRAS.

1t is some time now since the
Madras left our shores and consi-
derable time may elapse before she
comes here again, yet it is not likely
that her name will ever be forgotten
in Honolulu or that we have even
vet heard the last of her. Her
quarantine troubles are still fresh
in peoples minds as are the
troubles of her captain and his chief
officer. From the two statements
published concerning this quarrel,
and from other information that we
have since received, we are inclined
to think that, when the case is
heard in the Hongkong Courts,
Captain Bradley will not be worsted.
There is another point in this case,
with respect to her quarantine,
which seems to have been overlooked.
The Madras is British vessel, Cap
tain Bradley is British subject and
part owner of the Madras, in Homo
lulu there is a British resident Com
missioner, her agents were a British
firm, and it is not at all probable
that the British Captain, the British
Commissioner, or the British Con-
sui who was agent for the British
steamer, will allow such loss, trouble
and delay, as has been occasioned to
the Madras, to pass un-noticed; but
it is very probable that they have
represented the whole case and it's
subsequent proceedings to the Go
vernment of another Island Kingdom,
which may or may not be more
powerful than the Hawaiian Island
Kingdom. 1t is not to be imagined
that we have by any means yet
heard the last of the Madras case or
that the Government of the little
British Kingdom will allow it's ships
of commerce to be tampered with
even by the Government of a "Sim-
pie and ignorant people," 1t is even
rumored that the British Government
has already taken some decided
steps, and, if the anger of the
British lion be once fully aroused,
he is not likely to allow his paw to
be creased, so as to restrain his
wrath, but he is more likely, will
one blow from that paw, to utterly
annihilate any man who will dare
to interfere with the right of the
least of his subjects. We shall see
what we shall see.

BASE BALL,

The match game between Maui
and the Honolulu club was commen-
ced on Saturday shortly after two
o'clock. Doubts were felt in the
morning whether the rain would
stop the game or not, but the boys
determined to make a start. The
following were the teams. Maui:
L. j. Lucas, 2nd field; E. Whittick,
right field; l.. Scott, left field; r..
Sheriff., catcher; w. B. Morton,
short stop; w. NJ. Coffee, (captain)
pitcher; @. Forbes, 1st base; W.
Fennell, center field; W. j. John
son, 3rd base-E. Perry, G. Stone,
Substitutes.
Honolulu team: Messrs. j. II.
Wodehouse, G. Markham, G. Wode-
house, F. Oat, A. Swan, F. Winter,
j. H. Fisher, j. I. Dowsett, Jr., H.
M. Whitney, Jr., (Captain). Mr..
Jas. Castle acted as umpire.
The Honolulu club wore their blue
and white uniform, and the Maui
boys red and white, with a large S
on the left breast. There was a
large number of spectators, ladies es-
pecially, who all showed the deepest
interest in the game.
Honolulu had first innings, but
failed to score; Maui in their first
made run. In Honolnln's second,
Dowsett obtained a run. but Maui
IN their turn added nothing to their
former score. In their third innings
Honolulu went ahead, adding seven
to their score, which were obtained
by Whitney, Dowsett, Fisher, Mark
ham, Winter, Oat and G. Wode-
house. Oat made splendid hit
which brought down the field.
In their third and fourth innings
Maui did nothing, and Honolulu fol-
lowed suit in their fourth. Maui
changed their pitcher after Homo
lulu's big innings. Whitney's fielding
was good, and Fisher made very
good catch.
In the fifth innings, Honolulu
scored 5; in the sixth, Maui 3 and
Honolulu 6; in the seventh, Homo
lulu l; in the eighth, 2 for each
side; and in the last innings, Homo
lulu ran up z more.
The following are the individual
scores: Dowsett, 4; Whitney, 3 +;
Fisher, 2; Markham, 4; Winter, A
Oat, 5; j. Wodehouse, 3; Swan,
II. Wodehouse, 2. Total, 81.
Maui :-Sherrett, E; johnson, l
Fennell, l; Morton, /; Lucas, l.
4 Whittick, /. Total, 6. Victory fo1
Honolulu by rs runs.
II. johnson, w. Morton, Scott,
Sherrett, johnson and Lucas were
credited with good hits. This is the
first time the Maui team have
ever played together, and in to-day's
return match they will doubtless
give better account of themselves.
The Honolulu boys all did well and
deserve their victory. The supper
passed off we'll and all went home
happy. The Maui boys desire to
thank Mr. Cornwell for his kindness
to them.

WHAT BOYS WILL DO.

"Boys will be boys" but they will be
Just such boys as their associates, old and
young, make them. You can not make
them men if you try, but if you will per-
NIT and encourage them to be boys, you
can direct what kind of boys they will be.
1t is this distinction that is at fault in
most of the relations that exist between
the church and her children ; it tries al.
most invariably to make boys Christian
men instead of Christian boys. There
have not been wanting churches that ex.
pected boys to love to read the serious
portions of the Bible like father in Is
rael to be grave and mirthless like man
who had carried burdens and grief for
years to be balanced and decorous as a
Judge trying man whose life was at issue (;
to be quiet and reverential as military
veteran with whom it has become second
nature to do homage to his superiors.
The average boy is repealed by all this,
while if he were allowed to be boy.
Christian, stunning all vicious companion
ship, avoiding all foul or profane speech,
checking his temper, learning obedience
and all the other boyhood virtues, while
encouraged to play as heartily, laugh as
merrily, joke as playfully, frisk as coltishly
as his mates. When pastors, parents,
Sunday. school officers and teachers appre.
ciate the harmless boyish traits of youth,
there will be less danger of repelling the
young, less anxiety about the skepticism
of men, less remorse over sons gone astray,
less regret over the absence of men in the
pews. 1t is one thing to make them better
boys it is quite another to take the
boyhood out of them. Shun the latter with
the same caution that you labor for the
former. Here is a theme for every pulpit,
a lesson for every teacher, motto for
every Superintendent, thought for every
parent. Golden Rule.
