The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1889-11-05

by the raoble of all nations which
took refuge in Hawaii; that first de-
moralized the natives and then de-
prived them of their lands, sub
stances, rights, privileges and lib
erty.
Honolulu is the Montreal of the
Pacific coast or better said the
haven Of the outlaws of all nation
alities and according to statistics,
there are in the Hawaiian Islands
hundreds and hundreds of years
Of unexpiated terms in the
penitentiaries of America, (Canada),
Europe, Asia and Australia. No
wonder if King Kalakaua and his
subjects do not sleep on a bed of
roses.
The missionaries, the monopolist
Claus Spreckels and the interna-
tionaI rabble intend to push the ma
tives to the wall and the Hawaiians
are determined to resist, hence the
past and present instructions and
disturbances. No real and lasting
tranquility can be had in Hawaii
until an extradition treaty is made
by the King Of the Hawaiian Isl
ands with all the nations that have
criminals escaped from their coun-
tries and who have taken refuge in
the Hawaiian Kingdom. The treaty
of extradition must be framed SO as
to have a retroactive force, thus and
not otherwise a normal and satisfac-
tory state of affairs can be secured
for Hawaii.
The missionaries have had their
own way too long in the Hawaiian
Islands, that the time is ripe for
change and Wilcox was the proper
man for the occasion. Wilcox could
be the Garibaldi for the freedom Of
his country in 1889, as King Kala-
kaua could have been the Victor
Emanuel in uniting under his scep-
ter all the Polynesian Islands and
inhabitants in 1880, but being sur
rounded by small and unfaithful
men at home and represented by
worse men abroad, has allowed the
good opportunity to escape from his
hands which will return no more.
The Captain of the Z. S. S. Adams,
violated the territorial independence
of the Hawaiian Kingdom and the
international laws and usages, when
he ordered the .. S. blue jacket to
land with gattling gun and go to
take quarters at the old armOry on
shore in the city of Honolulu, when
he had no right, no orders, and that
there was no necessity for SO doing
except to please the greedy and I'M
scrupulOus missionaries and their ac-
completes who were the main cause
of the past and present troubles, and
these missionaries are at the present
time Hawaiian subjects though born
American citizens. This is a bad
precedent and worse procedure on
the part of a great republic to use
such force in order to interfere In
the domestic affairs Of a small and
weak Kingdom.
Very often the diplomatic consular
and naval officers Of the United
States commit blunders in foreign
countries at the instigation Of the
missionaries, thus impairing the
prestige, influence and interests of
the American government and people
at the total benefit of our rivals the
English and Germans.
The attention of President Harri-
son and Secretary of State Blaine
will certainly be called to the latest
deplorable event in Hawaii.
Our mutual friend, the ex-Premier
John ID, Bush. who is now under ar
rest by the order Of the missionary
ring, ought to, in his idle prison life,
make some philosophical reflections
and come to the conclusion that his
conduct in the month Of August,
1880, was not entirely correct, when
he allowed himself to become the
tool of the Mormon Gibson and of
the missionaries Of all the other de-
nominations, and that, at the detri-
ment of his country, of his race and
of himself, Bush's arrest in August,
1889, is the natural consequence of
Bush's blunders in August, 1880, and
blunders in politics are more damag-
ing than crimes.
You, black and brown-skinned Ha-
waiians, are peaceful, honest, warm
hearted and genial people, and you
never are the aggressor against the
whites, all that you ask is to be let
alone by the intruder, arrogant, sell
fish, cold-blooded and domineering
missionaries and other beach combers
who are crowding, plundering and
tormenting you continually.
Under your native rulers, you were
free and happy; under the mission
airy rulers you are not. Freedom
and happiness for you are indigen-
Gus and tyranny and unhappiness
are foreign, consequently you are
justified to insurge on your native
soil against those who use and abuse
the power of the American flag for
imposing on you their tyrannical,
detestable and imported rule, which
is the essence of crime, a transgres-
sion of the principle of nationalities
and an insult against the enlightened
conscience of the 10Th Century.
''Fiat lux"
Ever your good friend,
CELso CESAR MORENO.
