The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-03-09

Celso Caesar Moreno, of the district
of Columbia, has, at great trouble to
himself, and much more to others,
prepared an imposing looking PAM
phlet for the supposed perusal of the
Senate and Congress. 1t is dedicated
"most respectfully and earnestly in
homage to truth, justice and equity,
to the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives in Congress assembled" On
the cover is a portrait OF LiliuOkalani
Kamehameha, the most gracious
Queen of Hawaii.
Mr.. Celso Caesar Moreno, of the dis
trict of Columbia, has spread himself.
He has compiled a mass of testimony
in favor of Liliuokanali Kameha-
meha" that would be most convipc-
ing to a man with absolutely no
brains. Mr.. Celso Cesar Moreno, of
the district of Columbia, has drawn up
an array of testimony, most of which
has emanated entirely from the fertile
brain of Mr.. Celso Cesar Moreno, of
the district of Columbia. that will be
hailed with joy by all lovers of rotten
government. Mr.. Celso Caesar Nor
emo, of the district of Columbia, some
years ago, who was politely asked to
leave this country for the country's
good, by the decent people of the COM
munity, is undoubtedly well quail
fled man to speak on the subject of the
monarchy. AS he has no character
whatever himself, he, of course, has
no respect for any one else who has
any. A few extracts from the facile
pen of this famous gentleman follow.
In speaking of the missionaries,
Mr.. Celso Caesar Moreno, ETC., says:
''They came to the Islands with few
carpet bags containing Bibles and
mortgage blanks, and soon disposed
of both, with the result that the Ha-
waiians found themselves financially
ruined. They have also lost their for
mer patriarcal happiness and customs
with their political and social liber-
ties, and are now threatened with be-
ing deprived of the political independ-
ence of their beloved country. The
fathers (the greedy missionaries) have
robbed them in the past, and the SOILS
are trying to rob them in the pres
ent.
''The United States has always sent
third-rate politicians as ministers and
Consuls to Hawaii, hence the erro-
neous information received. / am
we'll informed, for / have on the spot
studied Hawaii and the Hawaiians-
their troubles with the missionaries
OF all creeds; and when distant from
the Islands | have kept up an unin-
terrupted correspondence with the
great leaders of the Hawaiian nation,
such as the Hons. Wilcox, Bush, Col
burn, Cummins, Tesla, Kaaii, Kape-
na, KaunamanO, KimO, Pelekone and
others. l have explained my views on
the situation to President Cleveland
and TO Assistant Secretary of State
Porter; later to Senator Morgan and
Congressman McCreary, and these
statesmen should dispose of the Ha-
waiian question and render justice to
the weak, ill-treated, honest and gen
erous Hawaiian people that have been
20 continually misrepresented, mis-.
judged and grossly wronged by the
missionaries
Mr.. Celso Caesar Moreno was not
satisfied with telling untruths in Eng
fish. He is a versatile gentleman
and can lie in several different lam
guages. He published n long article
III III III
which he lauds Blount to the skies.
Mr.. Celso Cesar Moreno has,
among his other talents, a large
amount of what would be called gall
in a common man, but in such a
mighty specimen of the genus homo
as Mr.. Moreno, is diplomatic ability.
He says, in another part of his
pamphlet:
''In order to correctly inform Con.
gress about the reputation of the
missionaries and missionaries sons
from Hawaii, quote the following
from the Hawaii Holomua of Homo
lulu.n Then follows long TRADE
against President Dole, Minister |
Thurston, Frank Hastings and others. |
He calls Professor Alexander and
w. b. Oleson missionary reprobates" |
and claims that Liliuokalani "gener- |
Ously clothed and nourished them |
both in Hawaii" This choice bit of |
rhetoric is followed by comparison |
OF the moral merits of Kalakaua and |
and the much abused |
greatly to the disad- |
vantage of the latter.
Mr.. Celso Caesar Moreno, of the |
District of Columbia, roasts every
body and anything that has the
slightest connection with the Pro-
Government or Minister |
Stevens. He quotes from a Mr.. Solher,
whose name should probably be d.
vided differently and made into NJ. S.
ralker, who says that "Queen Liliuo
kalani is not so black as she is
painted" That attempts have been
made many times to whitewash the
ex-queen is undoubted, but it has
always been the general idea that she
was painted by the hand of Nature.
Altogether, Mr.. CeIso Caesar Moreno.
ETC., may look with pride on his chef
L euUre, for it is masterpiece. 1t is
extremely doubtful if so many false
were ever before crowded
nto thirty pages as an put i'm this
If Mr.. Celso Caesar Moreno,
If the District of Columbia, keeps on
n the same direction that he has
started, Ananias would not have any
chance with him at all, and Baron
would blush with shame
