The Boston Journal of October 27
says:
DIR. G. Stanley Hall of Clarke Uni
Versity Is an able scholar and a sound
one, but he seems to have been mis-
informed about Hawaii. He stated in
an address, reported in the Journal last
week, that the native Hawaiian race
is believed to have reached the acme
of indigenous culture in 1907 before
the coming of the American mission
aries. On the contrary, as the Hon.
Gorham d. Gilman, long consul general
OF Hawaii at Boston, shows in a letter
to the Journal, the Hawaiians a hun
dred years ago were distracted by say
age wars, cursed by degrading super
stition, and ravaged by pestilence The
islands were already becoming depop-
ulated, from causes which the mission
aries did not introduce, but did their
level best to combat after they landed
in the islands in 1922 DIR. Hall had
stated that the silk culture failed in
Hawaii because the missionaries for
babe the natives to feed the silk worms
on Sunday. Mr.. Gilman denies this
also, and declares that the failure of
lie SILK experiment Was Qu0 To udluT dl
conditions. Our missionaries in Ha-
waii have been the target of much
long-range Misrepresentation, but DR.
Hall surely meant to do them no in
Justice. He was simply misled by
somebody who 'tdid not know"
MR.. GILMAN'S REPLY.
To the Editor of the Boston Journal:
President G.. Stanley Hall is reported
to- have said in an address which he
delivered last week at Plymouth that
1.-THE Hawaiians are believed to have
reached the acme of Indigenous culture
in 1S00."
Prof. w. D. Alexander, the historian
OF Hawaii, states on page 146 of his
history under the date of 1896: capt.
Broughton of H. M S. Providence was
much impressed by the misery and des-
titution of the common people and the
rapid depopulation that had been going
on since his former VISIT touching at
the Island of Kauai, she found it rent
with civil war" Page lat, Kane
hameha, after dedicating a temple with
human sacrifices, caused the whole
stock of hogs on the island to be de-
stroyed, several of the people being
burned alive for stealing food to re-

Island OF Niihau Capt. Broughton sent
a cutter on shore under guard of two
marines. who were killed by the ma
tives; their village was burned and
four natives killed. Even under the
reign of Kamehameha the Great, hui
man sacrifices were repeatedly offered
(pages 1879. In 1905 a pestilence car
ried off one-half the population" This
was II years before the arrival Of the
American missionaries, and they can
hardly be held responsible for check
ing the population" In 1909 Alexander
Campbell, in his book describes as an
eye witness the terrible scenes which
took place on the death of younger
brother of the King, 1.-The knocking out
of front teeth the deafening wailing,
the general casting off of clothing and
all restraints of decency. When the
King was demonstrated with about it,
he replied that it was their law and he
could not prevent it,"
Prof. Halls opening reference is to
the interference of the missionaries at
Hawaii with the introduction of the
silk worm cultivation on those islands.
He says that the attempt failed be-
cause of the discouragemen given by
the missionaries, in teaching that the
feeding of the worms on Sunday was
a breaking of the command to keep
the day holy" 1t is to be hoped that
his references in other cases have bet
ter foundation than the one just al
luded to. The gentleman who attempt
ed the introduction and cultivation of
the silk worm was Mr.. James Jackson
Jarvis of Boston, author of the His
tory of the Hawaiian Islands, and other
books relating thereto. Mr.. Jarvis S
attempt was made on the Island of
Kauai, at a place called Koloa, which
/ visited few years ago, and where
learned some facts concerning the rails
ing of the silk worms. Large fields OF
the "morus multicaulis" were cultivat-
ed for the purpose Of feeding the
worms. So far the enterprise was sue
cessful, the climate favored the growth
of the plants, but the serious difficulty
was found to be that, owing to the
mild temperature, the cocoons did not
mature. They were carried to the high
est attitudes on the island, but in vain.
They needed a colder climate. This
was the true reason that the attempt
was abandoned. The missionaries had

Mr.. Jarvis, in his books on Hawaii.
does not find 1t necessary TO bring any
accusation against the missionaries of
the native government. One would
think that If his commercial plans had
been interfered with, and his business
prospects injured, he would certainly
have had good cause to notice such a
fact in his publication He was for
years publisher of the principal news
paper OF Honolulu, and on most init
mate and friendly terms with the resi-
dent missionaries and has said many
noble words in their defense, although
not sympathizing with their religious
faith.
In reference to the decrease of the
native population, it is a most lament
able fact, and gravest apprehensions
are excited that in a comparatively
few years, another generation perhaps,
a pure blooded Hawaiian win be hard
to find Who is responsible for this sad
extinction of race? Certainly not
the missionaries. Primarily the name

COOKS vessel at the time of the dis
covery OF the islands, which has proved
the greatest curse and the cause of the
undermining of the constitution of the
Hawaiian by which he has been made
an easy prey to leprosy and other dis
eases unknown to the original inhabi-
tantS.
Botany Bay convicts, coming up from
New Zealand, taught the simple ma
t1ves to distil the vilest kind of liquor,
which also worked their ruin. We may
add to this the forcing at cannon
mouth by a French frigate the demand
of the French government that Ha-
wall should receive French brandies,
against which protest had been made.
These are evident sources of disease
introduced among the Hawaiians which
no one will contradict, as they are
matters Of history, and which no mis-
sionary" could have prevented.
1t was more than twenty years after
Cooks visit before the first mission
aries landed on the islands. Their
character, education and religion called
them at once to do everything in their
power to stay the tide Of destruction

Every man has his own piece of land,
which cannot be alienated by sale or
barter, and on it, with little labor, he
can produce sufficient to keep him and
his family going. Copra is still the
main article of export, but sugar cane
of fine quality could be grown to COM
mercial advantage if the water supply
were better"
Are the natives healthy?"
yes, generally; but the population
has been decreased somewhat of late
by an epidemic of pneumonia Measles
decimated the islands some time ago,
but pneumonia was more serious. Not
withstanding this, longevity is not I'M
known. The Princess Hingano died not
long ago. aged "a. She was the daugh-
ter of the first Christian king The ma
tives have taken to European clothing
too much, and they are suffering
through not studying the climate in the
matter of wearing apparel. They will
go down for a while and it will be a
case of the survival of the fittest until
they learn what is practical and sensi-

toward idleness in some parts, for very

education and religion. I gave some
lectures in Tonga some time ago, and
the people came in boats from far parts
of the group to hear them
What do you think of the future OF
Tonga?"
II think Tonga will pass through a
difficult time in due course. The adop-
ton of the methods of civilized races
will bring about some unrest, and Ton
ga may go down for a time, but a
stronger and nobler race viii gradually
be evolved 1t is rather pity that
we have not some great boarding house
or hotel for visitors. The group is well
worth more than the passing attention
of tourists. Steamers will call twice a
month, SO Tonga is in touch with the
worlds doings generally. Kava drink
ing still goes on, but the drink is not
made in the old unclean way. 1t is
now made from the root of the kava
plant crushed between stones.
How long will you remain in Sgd

Probably till March. At any rate
until the conclusion of the conference.
I have more translating work to do
yet. and I expect to complete history
of the world in the Tongan language"

 Peddler Is Jailed. u

Marshal Shook took the traln to the Summit yesterday morning and captured Luecl, the Italian peddler. who threw rocks through John Kslem's glass door at Manager Asks. Lueci was brought back on the down train last night. He was walking freely and peaeeably alongside the marshal, down Broadway, until the vicinity of Barley's store was reached, when Lueel made bolt In the direction of the sawmllI. The marshal, however, speedily over look his prisoner, when the latter picked up couple of rocks. The athletic marshal grabbed the Italian by the shoulders and roughly shook the rock out of his hands. Further down the street Lueei had to be laid on his back for awhile until he could be persuaded to be good. The crazy Dago Is now in jail awaiting his trial tomorrow morning.
