Signor Moreno Says the Missionary Min
istry Has Got to Go.
"Ah, we will have good news, exciting news,
from Honolulu in a few days now," said Signor
Celso Cesare Moreno, the Italian universal pa
triot and agitator, to SUNDAY HERALD reporter
yesterday, and he rubbed his hands together
with evident satisfaction.
What" asked the reporter. sis the threatened
revolution against our old friend King Kalakaua
to come off and the Hawaiians knock at the Col
den Gate for admission as an outlying county OF
Californian"
mo, no, no." cried Signor Moreno, with an
energetic gesture of dissent, throwing up his
fine Italian hand as if to ward off a threatened
calamity. Just the other way, just the other
way. The native Hawaiians will drive out of
power the bad missionary ministry which has
been conspiring to sell the country to the United
States. All, those missionaries! You cannot
know what bad men those missionaries are in
Hawaii. On Sunday they put on fine airs of
piety and preach in the churches, but during the
week they keep pawn shops and all other kinds
of shops, and are up to all kinds of political
tricks. They impose on the poor, simple, gener-
GUS natives in every way, and think of nothing
but feathering their own nests. All, they are
bad men. bad men !" and the impulsve Italian
made gesture as if to shut out from his mind
the thought of the evil the missionaries were do
ing in Hawaii. "They are worse for the natives
than the leprosy. But they will have to go. A
new Parliament has been elected and the natives
have secured a majority against the missionary
ministry, and when the Parliament meets on the
first Wednesday in May the missionaries will be
kicked out. Ah, you will hear the good news in
few days"
"Will the change in the government affect Mr..
Carter, the present Minister to this country from
the Sandwich Islands?" asked the reporter.
"Yes, Mr.. Carter will be recalled" said Signor
Moreno. "Why, he was the one who tried to ne
gotiate the treaty with this Government to have
Hawaii annexed to the United States. He will
have to CO. He wanted to have Hawaii annexed
so that he and Claus SpreclSels could be elected
to the United States Senate from the new State
That was part of the plot of the missionary min
istry. But Mr.. Blaine snubbed them. He
wouldn't countenance the scheme. Mr.. Blaine
was too sharp for that. And now the missionary
ministry and Mr.. Carter will have to go. The
new Parliament will make King Kalakaua turn
them away, and then there will be native gov
ernment again."
"Why do you take such an interest in the af-
fairs of the Sandwich Islands, Mr.. Moreno? ?" in
quired the reporter.
II have lived there and been in the Cabinet my
self" he answered. II have protege the Hon.
Robert William Wilcox, who is a member of the
new Parliament. He ought to be, and think
will be, member of the new ministry. He is
a good and able man. His mother was a Hawai-
ian, and he loves his unfortunate country and
knows all the tricks of the missionaries. If they
put him in the Cabinet he will see that the mis-
sionaries are kept where they belong, teaching
religion, and not dabbing in politics. helping the
foreigners to ruin the natives"
