by egotism, who would attempt to
put back the hand of timo
Let it be known to thee, o corpu-
lent Tory, that the people of this
country, native and foreign, have
not, and will not, recognise any right
i'll any association, by whatever name
it may style itself, or however we'll
it may come endorsed and benedic-
TONED by any number of sanctimo-
NOUS shareholders and usurers and
land-sharks, aud their stipended
clerical howlers and scribes, unless
endorsed by the people themselves,
1t was ever thus with the preacher
or writer whose official existence can
be cut short by the wealthy deacon
or church committeeman, combin-
alton of whom can generally effect
change in the incumbency of the
pulpit. Preach to us smooth
things" wink the pillars" of the
church, and say that we hold "in
our hands all the material interests
of the country" are mon of charac-
ter (bad it may be- and capacity Ito
scoop in all the Doodle in sight),
and Just the mon for rulers. Say,
dear preacher, to the working man,
(who doesn't heed him) that like as
father pitieth his children so will
members i'll this devout theocracy Of
ours supply him with "chips" at ten
cents on the dollar month, on
good schecurity."
There is not a word in the Friend
on the illegally awarded contracts
of the Z. g., by which they shame
lessly vote themselves public money,
which under constitutional mon
archy was not possible. Not word
about that immoral combination,
the Beef Trust, the leading members
of which are in the councils, and
who rob the cattle raiser and con-
sumer by their monopoly. Nor will
the Friend, under its present man
agership, raise its voice against
flooding the country with Asiatic
aliens who are let loose like a swarm
OF troglodytes upon the white and
native laboring class.
Nobody ever knew the editor of
the Friend to lift up his voice
against the crime of filing up the
country with Chinese, in the proper
tion OF twenty males to one female!
Nor does the man who got rich by a
smart sugar-stock gamble, and has
made enough to live by money lend
ing, ever feel anything weightier
than the smile of approval.
When the Oahu Railroad opened,
the Friend woke up like two wild
tigers and a famished vulture to
rend the globe on account of Sun
day trains, but, whether it was due
to judicious distribution of free
passos,' or Christmas presents OF Il.
Il. stock, is known only to few of
the elect; but the anathema was
'suspended' like Mohammed's cof-
fin and left a hoodooed II. II.
The vanity of the political parson
is incurable. He sees in the humi-
liation of the honest poor a "divine
manifestation" in favor of the sleek
anu well groomed monopolist who
carries around the church plate. In
short, he suffers from the impres,
sion that he is the center of the
celestial system, and that the sun
and the planets all revolve round
him, and the only reason why the
earth doesn't tip up when he steps
on 1t Is, that there Is another pollti-
cal parSOn to balance it at the other
end.
The smallness Of the Rev. editor
of the Friend and church full OF
his kind, shine out conspicuousiy in
this statement, quoted above. The
average clerical politician is SO fat
SO dull, SO thickheaded, so hope,
lessly incapable of realizing that the
, whole universe wasn't built for the
sole purpose of enabling few men
to ''hold in their hands all the com.
mercial and material interests" OF
any country, or of having capital in,
) vested in it, that it would be utterly
[ impossible to blast new idea into
, his intelligence.
