This is prize enigma. Correspondents may
send an answer up to the I7th Of February |
next, when !, will probably be publicly solved.
Tha, he may conform to the custom Of mon
arohies, he is about to take upon himself the |
exclusiveness and sacredness Of your ancient
kings, o Hawaii.
Showing why the merry King takes the new
emblem His Majestys selfsacrifce; his un.
selfish devotion to coming races; the coming
races, in this case, will probably be white.
He will take this new emblem so that com.
ing generations cannot forget when in the pres
ence of the Ambassadors sent hither by great
powers to do honor to the Hawaiian race on ac
count of this coronation Of our King.
Showing how the gentle Hawaiian is ex.
pected to assemble In public and play the
hypocritebefore the representatives fromforeign
lands. They will, for the time being, II tcssi
he, forget that the "dread king" was placed
upon the throne against their wishes, and that
a riot was the consequence They will forget,
If they can, the personal record Of the "dread
king" when he was a dread supernumerary
running with the dread machine. AHectionate
greetings are, however, in order, so that the rep
resentatives from foreign lands may see his merry
and dread Majesty in the very act Of reposing
in the love Of his people.
Therefore all yc loyal subjects Of the dread
king are hidden to come and witness the august
ceremonies Of their royal coronation, to mani.
fest your trustful and revercnt regard for your
Ia In hp e..vrta ftxe ee
from foreign lands the manner Of our affect
ionate greeting to our sovereign and the love in
| which he reposes.
Showing how the dread king will replenish
his larder during the inunda,ion of foreign rep
resen,ativcs.
And, as it is in accordance with the custom
of the nation from ancient times for gifts and
presents to be offered to the sovereign on such
great occasions this, therefore let your loyal
heats testify, each one according to his ability,
to the joyful love it feels towards its king.
Showing how, by casting ones bread upon
the waters, though it becomes unfit for use,
some one is sure to be the gamer; and how, by
dividing ones last pig and Pei with the new
fledged monarch it will be published to the
world that "no other nation beneath the sun is
as proud Of its king as Hawaii" all Of which
will not buy the baby new maio, but it sounds
sweetly!
| And when we open our generous, gift-bearing
hands, this deed of love to Our king will, doubt
less, be blazoned abroad throughout the whole
world-when the representatives of foreign
lands shall return to their own governments-as
an astonishing offering, something to be proud
| Of, and that no other nation beneath the sun is
so proud of its king as Hawaii.
Showing that nothing is done by retail at the
palace; that all Hawaiians, even the most dis
tan,, shall have the opportunity Of impoverish.
ing themselves for the sake of making show
before the representatives.
And, that all persons outside of Honolulu
may fully understand about this tribute giving,
the period from the 9Th Of January to the stli
Of February has been set apart as the time
when the remote districts shall send offerings
and tributes to the Marshal of the Ceremon,
LITERALLY, chief of feast) at the palace, Homo
lulu.
Showing how those at Honolulu are to wai
until the 2Ist, for if they send their eggs toe
soon the dread king will not know if the,
spoiled on his premises were rotten before h,
asked for them.
And the people of Honolulu are to wait unit
the 2Ist of February and then bring in thei
offerings to the palace yard. On that sam,
day, also, the new palace will be opened fo
public inspection by the Kings subjects.
Showing how-as there is danger of few
coming voluntarily from distant parts--som,
will be compelled to come, in order that tn,
performance may go on in the presence of tn,
foreign representatives.
u And, as the Coronation Committee deem i
probable that you will not all come, seeing tina
some of you will remain to look after you
farms, fields and planted patches, we have re
! solved it will be wise and seemly to commant
the people of each electoral district to assemble
at proper place and hold meeting of citizens
and let these assemblies choose fifteen delegate
to come to the coronation in the name of tn
, citizens Of the districts to which they each be
. long and the district judges are invited t.
take the lead in calling these meetings Of tn
citizens of their districts. Let them speedil
report to the chairman Of the committee tn
) list Of names of those who have been chosel
, before January 2Sth.
Showing how no one may hope to gain any
, thing by all this save only the dread king AM
, his spectators.
When you, people, choose your delegates
, do not let them come with any political plan
| in view!
S Showing how it is desirable to impress upo
e the minds Of the ingenious Hawaiians tina
there is really something in this, after ALL
: And now, o Hawaii, we have come to
time when the grandeur and our jealous desir
, for the sacTedness Of our sovereign is to
, greatly magnifed, an event such as Hawaii ha
never before seen.
God save the King!
