dress like the haole. This is news
indeed. | thought the pakc was
usurping all the industrious that the
haole wants for himself. Is not this
the true reason Of all this rage

that the Chinese cannot continue 10

men when they 90 to my country? |
Perhaps one or two may do so when
travelling IN the interior, but so like
wise many of my countrymen have |
taken to haole customs here, II.
c. N, too, would have us to "ac.
Quire the habits OF haolcs." The
habits Of the haole--are they so
good They have not that appear
ancc to us. The habits of people
that have neither the pluck nor the
industry TO compete successfully
with us in any walk of life, but cry
out to have us oppressed and run
out of the country because we beat
them at everything we try our hands
at. Such habits do not suit us, we
could never fit ourselves to anything
so inferior and mean. The haole
has seized on political power and is
using it to injure the Chinese who
stood by last year and were content
to let him do so because of his pro-
testations about the righteousness
and justice he would impart into the
government of the country and the
clean hands with which he would
administer it. Would II. G. n. like
us to initiate the haole in this also
and follow his "habits" by using
power so acquired to oppress the
white men?
II. G. n. asks, "What would
China do if great number of Am
orleans went there" The answer
is short and simple. She would, as
she always does, treat all alike. She
would not behave like the Hawaiian
Government which changes its Con-
stitution and gives no rights to
Cinnamon and which is so good as
to make cruel laws to restrict and to
harass them.
ii. G. n. accuses the Chinaman of
teaching the native to smoke opium.
This may be true, but for myself l
never saw or heard of native ac-
Quiring that habit. As to any ma
tive ever having been injured in
health by smoking opium such q
thing was never heard of. But what
harm have not the haoles done this
poor Hawaiian which H. G. n. and
men like him profess to be so pitiful
about? They have given them bad
diseases, and taught them to get
drunk and are continually importing
all sorts of enticing liquors TO help
them to injure themselves, to ruin
them and destroy their health. The
records of the Police Court show
has taught the native, whilst, as to
the opium smoking we never see a
single case against Hawaiian.
And why is the native race failing in
numbers, and as everybody says,
fading away For no reason but
that the haole pursuaded the good
natured, easy-going Hawaiian to do
just what II. G. n. now wants the
Chinese TO do, viz: to adopt his
habjtS, his tood, and his dress.
