OF WHITE WO-
MEN-HISTORY REPEATS
ITSELF.

The press of the State spoke out
strongly in denunciation Of this
editorial insult. The Wilmington
Ne&se1 ger showed thatit was mere
ly history repeating itself What
happened in 1869 is happening
again in 1878. Republican rule
bears the fruit of insult and out
rage to white women of the South
always and everywhere that it
gains control in the Southern
States. The Messenger says.
In the year of Grace 1SG9-early in
the ycar--a rascal from the North, name
forgotten, was editing The Raleigh
Standard, IIoldcn's old paper, and then
the organ of the rascals who were just
beginning their plan to rob the people
and sow the Dragons teeth Of anarchy
and discord. This Northern scamp wrote
an infamous editorial about North Caro-
lima women who were Democrats, ana it
got so hot for him he was forced to tlce
the State to save his bacon. Those
times were dis@raceful times. There is
negro paper published in this city
called The Daily Record. We have
never before referred to it. But in its
issue of Thursday the 18th, there is
an editorial that casts great slur upon
the wives of poor white men, and is
more infamous possibly than that folI
editorial of the Northern white scoundrci
in 1860. We copy part Of what is
said by the negro paper of this negro
city and ask the white men-plrticuiar-
~ the white married men, and especially
the sons of white mothers, what they
think Of such dirty defamation. such a
sweeping insult to all respectable white
women who are poor? The intent OF the
teaching is to Justify the bacE hrutcs

character of every white wife in the

REPUBLICAN ACTION.
After EIevating the Negro Publishers TO
ONCE they are Driven TO Repudiate their
UtteranCes.

It was six days after the article
appeared, the most vile that was
ever published in the State, before
any Republican repudiated it.
And then it was not done until
the Republican candidate for
Judge secured a reputation in
order to advance his prospects of
reelection. The Wilmington Mes
senqer thus tells of the action of
the Republican Committee:
''rhe following resolutions were hand
cd to us on yesterday by G. i. Jockey.
the Republican candidate for judge,
with the request to publish them, ana,
upon his authority we state that they
were passed yesterday by the Repuhll-
can executive committee Of this county
At that meeting, he says, there were
present John w. Lee, chairman; JAS. H.
Howard, secretary; and Stephen WASH
ington, Chas. Stanford. ]. i. Bowen, A..

Howard, VIM. Johnson, Samuel Reese

fry negro politicians and quite an ind!g-
nant set Of course.
and why not? Such an ''irresponsi-
Bile upstart" should not be endangering
Jockeys chances to be elected Judge
The solitary white man of the committee,
one Il. A. Orrell, and two other Of the
negro committeeman, were absent. Per
haps, they were not indignant. But here
are the resolutions candidate Jockey
drafted 'for political purposes and had
his political brothers to pass:
Whereas. A little paper published in
this city Wilmington called The Daily
Record printed i'm its issue of a recent
date august IS, 1889 an article which
is base and vile libel upon countless
thousands of good people, poor white
people in the country especially; and,

WHO rs MANLY?

What is the Position in the Republican
Party of the Publishers of The Daily
Record, and What is the Standing Of that
Paper2
No sooner had the vile and vii
famous editorial been denounced
by white men than the Republi-
can politicians began to say that
the publishers of the Daily Record
were misunderstanding simple
tons" and " irresponsible upstairs" "
Bear in mind, white men, that the
infamous editorial appeared in the
Daily Record on the 18th day of
August. 1t was not until the oath
day of August that the Republic
can candidate for judge, seeing
that the article would defeat him
for Judge if he did not do some
thing quick, got a portion Of the
Republican Executive Committee
to denounce the article and the
publishers of the Daily Record.
There was no word of condemna-
ton from Radical politicians until
they were driven to it by an out
ragged public sentiment.
They now call the editors and
publishers irresponsible upstarIs'
and misunderstanding simpletons."
Who are they? The following
affidavit shows that the editor was
appointed Deputy Register of
Deeds under the present Republi-
can administration of New Han
over County, and that John I.
Howe, the travelling agent of the
paper, was elected by the Repub-
licans as a member of the Legisla
ture in 1896 and served in the

THE VILE ARTICLE.

The vile editorial in the Daily
Record is so vicious and mean that
unless the evidence was conclusive
it would be difficult to believe that
any man honored by appointment
or election to office would write
such sIanderous article. The
proof is overwhelming. Indeed
there is no denial of the offense.
The following affidavit from the
Clerk of the Superior Court is
conclusive:

/ ton the name was to express regre
over his death and to pay an homes
tribute to his memory and mobility o.
character Hundreds were able to re
call that at some time or another
they had received favor at the hand:
of Mr.. Dowsett. He considered it hi!
duty to help those in distress and ever
when he was imposed upon offered nc
word of complaint. The native Hawai-.
ians do not tire in talking of KimC
| Pelekane and recounting his good
deeds. To the natives Mr.. Dowsett
was like father. In all their Difficult
ties he was the trusted adviser. They
regarded him as an ALI. In their lives
he was the arbitrator OF hundreds of
differences. With them his word was
more than law. When death came to
the home of poor native, Kimo Pc
lekane was the man who could be de-
pended upon to furnish money for fun
eral expenses. We're cash needed for
supplies, loan could be negotiated
from Kimo Pelekane. And he was a
good friend at different and difficult
times to many foreigners who had
earned his confidence. To his family
Mr.. Dowsett was always extremely
kind
The search which the mother of
James l. Dowsett made for her lost
husband, has its parallel only in the
search of Lady Franklin, for the Arc
tic explorer who failed to return. Capt
Dowsett, who had been in command
of revenue cutter for the Queen
came here in a merchant ship which
was condemned. The captain, after
remaining ashore for a time, building
a home and establishing business con-
nections, organized a pearl fishing ex-
pedition for the Pescadore Islands.
AS stated in the biography given yes
terday, he went ashore and was cut
off by hostile natives. The mate of
he was severely upbraided by Mrs.
Dowsett, who said that the captain
would have forsaken no man in that
fashion Mrs Dowsett, with the ad-
visory assistance of Mr.. Pierce, after
wards American Minister here, sent
the vessel Waverly to the Pescadores.
The most important thing in the report
OF that expedition was the finding of
the name of Capt. Dowsett cut into
cocoanut tree on one of the coral ISL
ands. Commodore Wilkes, U. S. N,
subsequently made a search. as did
also the commander of a British war
ship. To the day of her death, Mrs.
Dowsett believed that there was
chance of her husband, the captain,
being alive with the natives and made
every effort to have thorough investi-
CATION. Capt. Dowsett intended. upon
returning from the pearl fishing trip,
to remain permanently in Honolulu as
a business man.

It contains information of the very
first historical and other value.
Early Wednesday morning natives
from homes everywhere between Mo
analua and Diamond Head began to
gather at the Dowsett place in Pa
lama. They came to place flowers at
the bier of Kimo Pelekane and to
mourn for the death of a friend. Later
in the day and at evening natives
arrived from over the Pail and from
Eva and Waianae and even from Wal
alua district. News of the death Of
Mr.. Dowsett had been sent all over
the Island and the Hawaiians in large
numbers Joined the throng of haoles
calling to pay respects and offer con-
ISOLATION 1t was estimated that at one
time there were no less than 300 per-
sons on the premises. The older Ha-
waiians could not restrain themselves
at all and gave vent to floods of tears
and to strange wailings. They were
oyerpowered and overcome by the
thought that no more would they have
the friendly greeting, the certain and
reliable advice or the material assis-
tance of the one who had been their
at all times and upon all oc-
casions for SO many years. The floral
filled the house and lanais.

They would ask him about anything
and everything concerning their in

Being interested in shipping, MIR.
Dowsett had a place in big heart for
the men who go down to the sea and
he was a trustee of the Sailors Home.
He was very proud of the new build
ing and visited it often. The Queens

which he had the warmest affection.
He was a charter member of the

ors' Home, the Queens Hospital and
the Chamber of Commerce. He took
little or no interest in current poll
teal affairs, though he always knew
what was going on both at home and
abroad.
Mr.. Dowsett was a man of kindly,
genial disposition. 1t was a habit of
his for a number of years to make g
trip to Waikiki each evening in a
street car. It was genuine treat to
be a passenger with him 1t was a
study for one not acquainted with him
to watch him in the car and to see
all the natives and even the Chinese
pay their respects to him on entering
the car. Everybody knew who he was

and strangers liked him in advance
while those who came to speaking
terms with him valued the privilege
Mr.. Dowsett was very clear minded
He was quick thinker and an excel
lent reasoner and while not a talka
tive man was always willing to sup

quirer. He knew the town, the peo.
pie and the country. He never left
the Islands but once in his whole life
and then four days in San Francisco
was enough of life in foreign parts
He was perfect encyclopaedia OF
history and biography not only of Ho-
nolulu and Oahu, but of the entire
group. The common suggestion to
one in search of obscure historical
data was to go to Mr.. Dowsett and he
never failed. He could always supply
day and date and all required details.
He was not even close to the end a
man who lived in the past, but he was
pleased to talk Of the old days.
There are not here many men who
knew Honolulu as did Mr.. Dowsett.
One day about three years ago the
dredger in the harbCr struck part of
the frame of sunken vessel. Mr..
Dowsett was told of this and going to
the scene described the schooner as
she had looked half a century ago.
told all about the owner and captain
and the circumstances of the sinking
of the vessel.
Mr.. Dowsett had in his life the con-
Meeting links of old and new Homo
lulu and Hawaii. He remembered
when California sent to the Islands
for -four salted beef and vegetables.
He had the most vivid recollection of
the advent Of the whalers, of the
tremendous growth and proportions of
the whaling business, of the early and
discouraging experiments in the pro-
duction of sugar. He has watched
the Islands progress from the germ
of test and trial and failure and par
dal success and full success, to the
proud commercial position of his day.
He has seen the school and church
systems develop and grow. He was
acquainted with young Pacheco when
that boy, destined to in full life be-
come the Governor of the Golden
State, was in Honolulu from San Fran
cisco because there were no schools on
the Coast. Honolulu then had the
best educational facilities and the only
real social life in this part of the
world. Mr.. Dowsett saw the grass hut
replaced by the atone business block
and the taro patch filed up for man
sion site. He saw the little paths be-
come fine streets and the broad and
barren plains thickly populated dis
tricts. He saw the life of a nation
change. He witnessed the most mar
velous transformation worked out
with a people and country in mod
ern times. Through all this he was
a close observer and always on the
side of what was right and just. Such
a man is to be mourned and is mourn
ed
Effort will doubtless be made to Sc
cure for publication, in part at least,
Of Mr.. Dowsett's diary, which covers,
it is said, a period of more than fifty
years Mr. Dowsett entered UP his
diary every day and denied access to
it. The use of the diary has been
sought a number of times in the set
tlement of estate matters and land
disputes, but it was always withheld.
