An Interesting Letter From the Late
Premier.
WASHINGTON, March 3lst. = Celso Caesar
Mereno late Premier to King Kalaksua writes
to-day to young wilcox, the revolutionist, as
Follows:
WASHINGTON, March so. 1890.
Ny Dear Wt'cor: Your letters OF the 18th of
February and of the 14th of March are at hand
and contents read and digested. Yes, ] am of
the opinionand warmly desire that you should
be Cabinet Minister, with firm resolution to
entirely deliver your country and countrymen
from the grasp of the greedy and unscrupulous
missionaries and their accomplices, who con-
Jointly preach in their churches on Sundays
and DO all kinds OF worldly tricks and traffic in
their sh0n through the week and meddle with
politics all the year round. Besides. they mo.
nopoize The commercial finances, all the Gov
ernmep. offices of justice, the police. and have
grabbed II the best land Of the Kingdom.
The missionary fraternity in bawaii is a
calamity worse than the leProsy tor the Ha-
wailan5. My fervid wishes are for your success
but fear that you ana your ratiye colleagues
will fell in the end
The missionaries and their confederatesz are
too deep, too active, too intriguing for yousand
all your native Hawaiians to successfully con.
tend with them.
You Hawaiians are too good -natured, too
honest, too timld and too generous. The senti-
timent prevails to restrain interest to every
thing else, while ia the missionaries your
antagonists, interest and greedinesS reign su-
Next May, when the Hawaiian Parliament
meets, you yourself must without delay and
without reserve, make a motion of want of
confidence in the present missionary ministry
followed by another for the impeachment of the
Minister-in-Chief, of Justice Judd and Rev.
Carter, the Minister of Hawaiito Washington,
for having destroyed the confidence of the
Hawaiian Kingdom and the people in forming
and proposing the treaty in 1859 to the .Ameri-
can Government for the annexation of the Ha-
Fwaiian Islands to the Cnited States Minister
Hap Carter is public laughing stock in WASH
ington, and his principal aim in the above
mentioned treaty OF annexation was to- become
himself and his brother-in-law, Judd, both Sen
ators to the United States Senate in Washington
from the state of Hawaii, and he; &C ,rter) and
his missionary wife have for several years been
boasting of it among their friends.
have good reasons to believe that President
Harrison and Secretary of State Blaine not only
DO not give any encouragement to Minister
carter IN his annexation scheme against the
Will OF the Hawaiian King and people, but they
and the Republican party will prevent any
other nation, as 1t wes done in Samoa to take
possession; therefore Hawaiian independence
ana neutrality are assured for the present
much against the will of the missionary ring in
Hawaii
If you Hawaiians are determined to be your
own masters in your own country, YOU must be
united, and repUdiate all Hawaiians who in the
past have been teols of the missionaries like
the spy and traitor Iaukea, for the reason that
the missionaries retain solely their tools their
money and their lands for long time.
In your success you must be modest lust be-
nevolent, even generous but firm, with friends
and foe, and listen to no nonsense gossip and
calumnies. Otherwise the missionaries win be-
gin their old work by sowing the seed of discord
amo1g you and your colleagues, as they did in
the past, especially in August, 1880, W th Bush
and Jones, and after few weeks or days you
and other Cabinet Ministers will become enc
mics of each other, and then King Kalaka
Will as ever be the victim of the shrewd mis-
sionaries, and side with them, and the mission
aries, like vampires, will rule and ruin the Ha-
waiians
Our friend John E Bush ought to be mem
Der OF the new Cabinet, provided he will COM
prehend that any intercourse between himself
and the missionaries or with their underlings
no matter how long or short, will be fatal for
him and for his race. You Hawaiians need
strong minded and sdroit pilot to guide you in
saving the ship of state, and that person should
be Professor Walter Hill, editor of the Bulletin
otherwise your position in front of the missi
airy ring will be before, viii be similar to that
of a simple, weak lamb in front of a cunning
foN and rapacious wolf Ever your good
