Anxious to Retire.
Secretaries Gage and Long have often
been spoken of as anxious to retire. This

to remain in the cabinet against his wish,

ize the saloons. Yet there were thir-
teen running day and night, and each
paid thousand dollars year IL
cense. l never saw so much drunk
enness in any place in the world.
The saloon and all of its accompany
ing vices and diseases was moving
the poor people down by the thous-
and. The best informed men say
that in two generations more this
noble race will be extinct.
The saloon is not all the evil the
white people have inflicted on the
Hawaiians. Long before they had
become sufficiently enlightened to
know the value ofhome and property
a few scheming men had cheated
them out of all their land, and now
they are strangers in their own ma
tive country, not even allowed to fish
in the sea without rpaying licence.
There were only about 1000 white
people, mostly Americans, in Homo
lulu. Itmay be the reader will think
they were not wholly to blame for
the saloons but that is mistake.
The white men held all the offices
and did about all the voting. The ma
tives could not vote unless they own
ed $4,000 worth of property, or had
an income of 5000.
1t will surely make any thoughtful
person shudder when he remembers
what their intercourse with us has
cost these children of the sea. We
should not blame the missionaries
for this state of affairs. Like thepoor
widow of Jerusalem they have done
what they could. But what will be
the doom of the nation that
boasts of being the grandest and
most enlightened of any on earth,
and yet will deliberately pour out
such flood of iniquity on a heather
people trying to rise from their deg
relation.
Eighty years ago when Hewa-hewa
destroyed his idols and beckoned to
us to come over and show him better
way, he was ruler of 1000 of as
healthy and fine looking people as
are in the world. Now, there are
scarcely $4,000 left, and they are
carrying a heavy burden of sin and
disease.
The story of this man is the most
pathetic in history. Poor Hewa-hewa
he asked of us bread for his people,
and we gave him serpent.
