KA LEO O KA LAHUI.
"E Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono."
TEMPORA MUTANTUR.
Now that the funeral obsequies of the King are over and the remains are consigned to their last resting place, a few reflections upon the circumstances attending the event may not now be amiss. The records of events for the past two weeks will stand out as a creditable page in Hawaiian History. The remains of our dead Sovereign, returned in solemn state, by a noble warship of a friendly power, the nation plunged in grief, the national Capital dressed in the habilaments of mourning, all classes and nationalities vieing with each other in exhibition of sorrow. The Royal Body lying in regal state at the Palace, honored with all ancient and modern rites, and visited by thousands, who shed genuine tears in recollection of the many good qualities of their dead King and friend. Mass meetings of Hawaiian and foreigners passing resolutions of condolence to the Royal Family, of thanks to the People of the United States, and paying high tribute to the character and works of the King during His reign. The feelings of deference, respect and sympathy being universal as of a loyal people.
Could this record stand out in history alone, we might be proud of it, but when the historian comes to look further back into the record, he will exclaim “O tempora, o mores.” It is scarcely more than three years since, when some of the very man who are now conspicuous with their mourning and their resolutions in honor of the departed, raised the red flag of revolution in Hawaii, and placed a price on the head of the same King, at the point of the bayonet, they forced the King to sign a Constitution, which is faulty and unjust and is not respected by the Hawaiian people. They continued to belittle the person and the dignity of the Sovereign, and made him the appendage of the four unanointed monarchs whom they save to the country in the persons of four unpopular Ministers.
Are these then crocidile tears that we have been witnessing, or the conscientious regret of repentants who try to atone for the deeds that helped to hurry the King to his grave. At any rate, we congratulate the country at the change of feeling that has come over these people, and hope it may no longer be considered a meritorious boast, or the principal qualification for office that they “carried a gun” in 1887.
SUPERSTITION IN HAWAII.
After seventy years of religious teaching, we regret to say, that superstition still remains among Hawaiians, and not only among the common people but also among the educated and wealthy of the native race. The fall and breaking in pieces of a hanging portrait is believed to be a sure portend of death, and one of the ways in which such a catastrophe can be avoided, is by the sacrifice of a pig, dog or some blood offering to propitiate some deified ancestor whose remains had been thrown into the sea and become a shark, or thrown into one of the cauldrons of hot lava at Kilauea, and become one the gods of the infernal regions; or by a mock funeral or symbol representing a burial, after incantations and sacrifices had been made. We remember a year before she died, the late Princess Likelike’s portrait in the Legislative Hall fell from the wall, which accident was looked upon as indicative of her near death. Later, the fall of the picture of a very high government official, that was hanging in the late King’s study, it is said, was the cause of such persistency in having his late Majesty’s original casket removed, instead of the whole being put into a new one, as was insisted on by the Queen Dowager, and a mock funeral held from the Palace to one of the vault in the Kawaiahao burying ground on Saturday night at 9:30 pm., was the result of sorcerous advice, in order to cheat an impending doom. There must have been some truth to the reason believed by the natives for the sacrilegious act,--that it was done according to ancient superstition. This act of vandalism was resisted by the Queen and Queen Dowager, until only two days ago the Queen reluctantly consented, while the Dowager Queen refused permission, the act being contrary to Hawaiian etiquette and disrespectful to the memory of the late Sovereign. The latter would not be present when the impious act was being done.
