crowned heads of Europe and
showed to the befogged inselleets
Of European peasants that a new
era bad really daBned. As there
is lacking II this. SO is there in
one who has sworn allegiance to
the newly established regime of
President Dole. He can not
portray, even If il should be his
wish, the existence and strength
OF that Hawaiian patriotism which
has ever existed in the past and
which has not been weakened By
the questionable scheme Of an
antagonistie and foreign element.
There Is a yerdaut memory cling
ing around the portals Of Hawam's
shrine OF patriotic devotion which
cannot be appreciatively under
stood by a stranger. The brave
Old kamehameha crushed out
the spirit OF barbarous warfare
by as great a display of natural
ability as ever existed in the
mighty Napoleon and proved
Bismarck to his people by conso-
lidating innumerable petty ter
ritories of jealous and ever con-
tending chiefs into as brave q
little nation as ever existed on
the scope Of Mother Earth of
such homogeneous and infantile
proportions as that of the king
dom Of Hawaii. Such memories
as these do not tend to weaken
the Hawaiian's innate confidence
in native ability-and ability to
govern at that.
The Hawaiian loves his monarch
as that in a monarchal country is
one Of the elements of patriotism;
and there IS today noble exam
pie in the faithful band boys who
formerly constituted the royal
band of Hawaii. Disdaining the
profitable offer of the provisional
government they have shown
their loyalty to country and love
for their Queen which closely
approaches the heroic. The re-
suit has been personal privation.
even actual penury to themselves.
Although there has existed in
every age, in tradition and actual
history, eminent examples of a
native ability to govern, and an
ability of such nature of no mean
degree has been displayed by the
present Queen. Although. this
is the case there could be no
possible fear for the future as the
heir intended for the Hawaiian
throne possesses a blood not
a native in its entirely, but
tempered by an Inheritance from
a staunch Celtic ancestry.
DEPRESSING to personality,
| may mention that the Princess
father, a Mr.. Cleghorn, is a thor
ough type of the successful
Scotehman. He has displayed
in all his private and public af-
fairs the undaunted energy nat
ural to that honored and sturdy
race. His daughter is in all par
ticulars an amiable young lady,
and is possessed of ali the charms
that the culture and refinement
of modern civilization can be-
stow. By her transformations be-
havior she presented the proof Of
all this to the American people
as she made her tour through the
country last year. Although a
great part of her education has
been received in England, she
also profted by an early training
received from a governess who is
of American extraction and of
American sentiment. She is now
pursuing her studies, which are
all those best fitted to the minds
of a ruler, in the country of Ger
many. Here is no English ten
dency, no American tendency,
but all her abilities have been
engendered aud trained to gov
ern the country that she loves,
to respect race that she honors,
to render her people capable of
perpetuating the glory of her
Hawaiian ancestry, and to firmly
establish her Hawaiian kingdom
as gem, petite but sparkling,
in the diadem of nations.
! fear that in all the intricate
and checkered career of our pre-
sent Hawaiian matter we have
ever been defrauded of the es-
sential information pertaining to
this questionable feelings the
and inclinations of
Hawaii's own people. Again,
should we be surprised that this
affair has been fermented by the
innuendo! In fact is not |
this always the bug-bear of the
political literature of America7
This old, ungainly ghost has
beer stalking forth on his career
Of threats ever since the skirmish
It Lexington, and when we bury |
his shattered and bleached-out |
bones then. indeed, will we have |
Columbia 5 millennium.
