in life, and for many years follow
ing, labored hard and long hours, |
earning a dry crust and a very little
poor cheese by the sweat of their
brow, and ultimately, through per. !
seyering effort, economy, a streak !
Of luck, stock gambling, robbery, !
or something else accumulated wealth |
and became masters of men, and as
masters were hard, exacting, anu
tyrannicHl. Sad to say, this class
Is too often the bitterest opponent
of striving manhood. He who has
known the day Of trouble, the hour
of want, the time of fatigue, hun
ger, and anxiety, is sometimes the
first to forget his own sufferings in
days gone by, and trample upon tue
most forlorn of all Gods creatures.
1t is not necessary TO 60 ont of the
country for illustrations.
1t is too late in the day--too late
in the history of these islands--to
talk of rGlegating the native Hawai-
ian to the relative position Of the
American Indian; and it is also too
late to proclaim the doctrine, that
the foreigner domiciled and inter-
ested in the. country should have no
voice in its government. The Ha-
waiian has had sixty or eighty years
of civilized teaching, and has made
remarkable progress. His average
intelligence is equal to that of the
majority of most civilized nations,
and ahead of many. He is too far
advanced in civilized ways and mo-
dern ideas to be relegated to the re-
lative position of the American In
dian. But left to himself, he can
not govern equal 10 the most adj
vanced nations. The foreigner has
too big an interest in the country
and has hitherto had too big say
in its management to he ignored
now. 1t cannot be done. The time
is long past for attempting snything
of the kind. 1t is not the sensible
native who talks of excluding the
foreigner from part in the govern
lnent, neither is il the right-minded
foreigner who would debar the na-
tive from voice in the management
of his own national affairs. The
sensible and just of each race recOg-
niZe that their interests are mutu-
ally interviewer, and would patrio-
tics!ly unite to govern for the reci-
procal good of both.
"DOn't kick a man when he is
| down. That is the sentiment Of
every brave man, and is said to be
the sentiment especially Of the
| Anglo-Saxon race. Unless there is
some exaggeration about the boast,
the representatives Of that race
must deteriorate very sadly when
they reach the tropics. Liberal
relates, in the Elele, how some OF
these gentlemen wanted to know at
the Police Station, when Wilcox was
taken a prisoner, why he was
brought there alive, meaning, as
understand it, thai he should have
been shot when he surrendered
and it is fact OF nnquestioned his
tory thai Anglo-Saxon voices were
heard shouting in the streets
"Swing him up'-,that is, swing NJ
the surrendered and conquered
leader of the insurrection. Coward,
ly cursl When misguided mar
was down they would kick him, xii
him, shamefully butcher him. Those
men-Amcricans or Englishmen,-'
should ut once forswear their coun
try, if they have not done so al
ready, for their country has grea
cause 10 be very much ashamed o
them. This is only one Instance
Of the disposition of the Anglo
Saxon in Hawaii to kick man whel

Others could be cited equally wei

measly, cowardly bipeds who ar
always on the watch, and as soon q
a poor fellow stuRbles on to hi
