Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1894-10-23

Mr.. Armstrong OF the dduer-
tjssr Is constantly booming the
missionaries Of old. He is abus-
ing those who claim that the
presence Of those missionaries in
those days was not an unmitigat-
ed blessing. History is never
better made or explained than
through newspapers. The papers
Of the day mostly tell the truth,
and if they don they express the
sentiments Of one class of peo-
pie whose opinion is worthy of
preserving.
We are tired Of hearing about
the super-virtuous missionaries Of
old. We are sick Of seeing the
Chief Justice riding his high
moral horse, and through his
unmitigated conceit look down
upon the other mortals who dis
agree with him politically and
otherwise.
He and his ilk point back with
pride to their father and they
claim authority and standing be-
cause the cid doctor was at one
time virtually King of the Hawai-
ian Islands.
The Chief Justice, we are told,
recently said to certain natives that
his sons will be the aiiis of this
country. He has also stated that
no white man in the future will
marry a girl Of Hawaiian parent
age.
1t seems that the learned doc
tor is a little off in his prophecies.
His boys may be very nice
young "chappies, but they will
never become "aliis" in the eyes
of the Hawaiians not even per
guardian, aud as far as marriages
so. the girls with Hawaiian blood
in them seem to go like hot
cake. We shouldn't be surpris-
ed TO see the great c. J. some day
as father-in-law to one of the
despised race. That is if the
girls can do any better.
However, we desire today. only
to show the sentiments 40 years
ago of the press towards the good
@ and only > Dr. Judd.
1t is funny that the same senti-
ments seem to be prevalent today
towards his son.
DR., Judd who arrived here in
the thirties as physician to the
missionaries gained absolute con-
troll over the King and his pre-
mier. he made the blue laws
which we print elsewhere. and he
was evidently as mice a mis-
sionary as you could desire.
Mr.. Ten Eyek was the Ameri-
can commissioner, and he sized
up Judd in a first class style. The
great autocrat was being lampoon-
cd in the daily Press. and Web.
ster's dictionary hardly contained
sufficient words with which the
paragraphers could show the con-
contempt Of the public for the
good missionary doctor.
DIR. Judd suspected Ten Eyek
as the author Of everything writ
ten against him. and he stopped
to bride printer to deliver to
him the original manuscripts.
They were in Ten Eyck's hand
writing and the almighty doctor
cured the recall Of the popular
commissioner.
We may mention incidentally
that before Ten Eyck left a most
brilliant ball was given to him
by American citizens, in the
house, now occupied by DR..
Brodie. The foreigners unani-
mously showed their appreciation |
Of brave Ten Eyck and their con- |
tempt for Kaata 0kolskala, in the |
same manner that the community
of today shows Its contempt for
Kauka 0lolekala-epio.
As az example Of what was |
written and said in those days
about the virtuous missionary we /
reprint the following editorial
from tbe Sanduich Islana Noes: /
We last week noticed. at some |
length, the letter in which Or. |
Judd endesyored 10 excuse him /
