Wise Speaks in English
John S. Wise followed next with per
haps the most able and popu ar address
l g.f, A, f.,
lows:
In justice to the cause for which w
stanu, in justice to ,he Hawaiian PEG
pie, l will try to speak to you tonigh
in the English language.
I'VE have been cal ed anti-whites, we
have been named the anti-haoles.
Will relate to you few facts that ar
history, to show you that the assertlo
on the part of our enemies is not a true
one.
Picture to yourself away out in tn
country somewheres, in the woods may
be, long ago, or at any time for tina
matter, humble grass hut. An ole
Hawaiian is working about the little
garden. All he has in the world L
keep himself alive is one last poor
chicken and a hill of potatoes. Alon'
comes Mr.. White Man, hungry an
tired through long travelling. tie
you what that poor Hawaiian gives h:
last chicken and his last few potatoes
and his only bed to Mr.. White Man
Does that show an opposition to the
haoles?
What History Shows.
Have the Hawaiians ever treated
the white men in the manner in which
the white men have treated the Ha
waiians? Any white man who has trav-
elled at all in the Islands knows that
the Hawaiian will even surrender his
bed to the haole." [Cries of that
right" every time! anu general ap
plause.l
ITO say that we are anti-haole In our
political sentiments Is the weakest kind
o. an argument. Our enemies canno
produce a bit of evidence to substanti
ate the foolish charge.
II will dig up little past histor'
to show you how generous and friendly
the Hawaiians have always been to
the white men.
I'm 1890. I believe the Hawaiians
commanded the ballot box from Ha
wall to Nihau. And whom did they
white men and only eight Hawaiians
| tell you the Hawaiians were not
against the haoles in those days. Nor
are they against them today.
The Other Side.
"In 1893 the white people controlled
the Government. What did they do?
They fired every Hawaiian from Office
who did not hold the same political
opinions as they did themselves. The
family compact was in ana was in
tending to stay in and the family
compact was fed until 1t grew fat on
money that you had paid. Did you
ever know of a Hawaiian who came
out of the Legislative halls with money
in his pockets?"
Loud and prolonged cries of 'Aole!
aole! aole!" mo! no! no!'
The crowd at this point cheered the
speaker enthusiastically, and was for
a moment wild with enthusiasm.
From Gripsack to Mansion.
White people come to these Islands
one day carrying their entire belong
ings in hand bags; they look around for
rooms, or else they hire a house. In q
few Jays they are rolling around Homo
lulu In swell carriages with footmen,
and living in Roman mansions.
you know where they got the money
from. You know how they suddenly
became rich. You don't suppose they
had their wealth in their bags all the
time, and went around saying nothing
about 1t, do you! So much for anti
haoles.
Cannot Tell the Future.
I'VE cannot comprehend the future.
But the Hawaiians know their friends.
A few white men there are who have
stuck to us In the past, who are still
standing by us. and we are not forget
ting them. We will never forget them.
I'VE have been accused of looking
for revenge. Revenge comes To every
man who has been injured. There will
be vengeance. Vengeance on those
who have wronged us. ] will try and
make a picture for you of the makeup
of the kind of white man who has done
us wrong.
The Bad Man.
He is of medium height and stoops
in his walk, He wears an old black hat
down over his eyes and a big, loose
coat. the pockets bulglng with papsrs
and states. And these papers stick out
OF his pockets and on them are writ
ten sentiments like these: 'Anti-hao e, ,
prejudice and anti-white.' on his
shoulders he carries a great bundle
