POALIMA, FEBERUARI 6, 1891.

 

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING Of the

Hawaiian People.

Resolutions of Condolence to the Queen and Queen Dowager

and

RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TO ADMIRAL BROWN, OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE CHARLESTON.

 

  A meeting of citizens, @ the a@ of the @ representatives W. H. Cummings, A. Marques, and R.W. Wilcox @ member, Cecil Brown being absent.  @ D.W. Pua and o@ m@ Islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii @ at the Queen @.

  @ and the @ of the meeting would @ a@ were Nobles and Representatives from other districts.  The meeting was called to order by Hon. J. E. Bush, briefly stating that the people's Representatives deemed it their duty to call the people together in order to express their sympathy with the bereaved wife and sister; to mingle their condolences on this melancholy occasion, and to give expression to the gratitude they felt towards the people of the United States for the distinguished consideration shown to their late King in his life and death.

  Mr. Bipikane was voted to the chair, and called on the Hon. A. Marques to address the meeting.

  Mr. Marques remarked that it was always sad to contemplate death, and the expression of our regret became more solemn when it related to a Ruler who was also the friend and chosen one of the people.  The circumstances of our King's death were peculiarly sad in that for a man of a naturally robust constitution he died at a comparatively early age, and away from home.

  The late King, said the speaker, was possessed of remarkable tact in matters of government, and his desire to be impartial was often severely tried under difficulties.  He had a jealous regard for the independence of this country.  Although he sailed to California in search of health, yet one principal object of his visit was to advance the commercial interests of the country and cement closer the ties which bind us to the people of the Great Republic.

  The kindly courteous reception which everywhere greeted him in California, was proof that the people understood their guest and was like a testimony to the King and his people, and as it is proper for us to feel proud of the honor shown our departed King, we will this evening show our appreciation of it in a public address to the people of California and to Admiral Brown and his officers and men: for never was seen grief more sincere than that of the men of the U.S. Navy as with slow tread and solemn dirge they performed the sad ceremony of bringing home our beloved King and Friend.  Another duty was to express our sympathy with the bereaved wife and sister.  All Hawaiians know how good Queen Liliuokalani's influence was with the King for the people, we shall therefore present our condolences and express what we expect.  Twice has the present Queen acted during her brothers absence and we had evidences of her prudence, tact and courtesy, and we have no doubt that she will uphold the honor and best interests of the country.  The Hon. gentleman resumed his seat.

  The chairman next call on the Hon. Robert W. Wilcox, Representative for the fifth ward.  Mr. Wilcox on coming forward was warmly received and said:  Years ago when the commerce of the country was at a low ebb the King went to the United States and obtained the Treaty of Reciprocity, whether it has proved the blessing to the native people that was promised and expected we are not going to discuss to-night.  The late King was a thorough cosmopolitan; he was fond of travel and the society of men of culture.  His education and knowledge of the world were greater by far than those of any former King.  It was this knowledge of the value of education which led him to encourage the training of Hawaiian youths abroad, in order that they might be able to take a place in the industrial pursuits of the country and be better fitted to have a share in self government.  That he made mistakes is but to any that he was human, but his benevolence and entire unselfishness was seen in his readiness to grant the humblest person an @ and yet he could as @ often remarked, be every inch a King in dignity and deportment when the occasion required.  The Hon. speaker gave numerous instances of his desire to be @, which @ of his surroundings rendered anything @ but he generally on the @ the respect of those who differed from him.  One anxiety was ever paramount with him to help the poor and the afflicted.  Our duty to-night was to give expression to our own sorrow and to express our good feeling to the people of the United States for their loud friendship, and also to perform the sad duty of arranging to present our condolences to the bereaved members of the Royal family.

  The chairman then requested the Hon. John E. Bush, member for Koolaupoko, to read the resolutions -- which were prepared in Hawaiian and English and are found at the end of this report.  They were put to the meeting and carried by a silent standing-up vote, unanimously.  The following commitee was nominated and elected to have the addresses engrossed and presented:

            HON. JNO. E BUSH

            HON. A. MARQUES

            HON. W.H. CUMMINGS

            HON. D.W. PUA

            HON. JOS. NAWAHI

            HON. W. WHITE

            HON. W.P. KANEALII

            HON. R.W. WILCOX

            MR. J. A. KAHOONEI

            MR. J. KEKIPI

            MR. J.W. BIPIKANE

            MR. KUKAULALII

            MR. J. KANUI

            MR. C.B. MAILE

 

  The Commitee presented to Queen Liliuokalani, who was @ly touched at the passages referring to her royal brother, in the address by Hon. J. E. Bush, who was Chairman of the committee and who presented the following resolution.

  Whereas it is the destiny of this world that all Rulers shall come to an end at the hour appointed for them, whilst humanity has no other recourse than to humbly bend under the blow; and

  Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to change into mourning and grief the expectation of loyal affection, with which we the People of Hawaii nei, were anticipating the return in restored health of our beloved Sovereign, King Kalakaua, and

  Whereas, His sad demise, which deprives the people of their chosen Ruler, also extends the burden of sorrow on the Royal Family, whereby our present Gracious Ruler, Her Majesty Queen Liliuokalani mourns the loss of a dearly beloved Brother, whose reign will be cited in history as a benevolent, illustrious and remarkable one: Therefore

  Be it Resolved by the People of Hawaii nei in mass meeting assembled, that we desire to convey to Her majesty, Queen Liliuokanlani our warmest expression of condolence and heartfelt sympathies in this our bereavement and at the same time, in due fidelity to the departed Sovereign and in high appreciation of the wisdom and loyalty always shown by Her Majesty while in the temporary administration of the affairs of the Hawaaian Kingdom, we, Her Majesty's dutiful subjects, the People of Hawaii, do hereby attest and proclaim our loyal allegiance, affection and respect to our new Sovereign, also earnestly hoping and praying that she may enjoy a long, peaceful, and prosperous reign, in which the independence of these Islands shall be jealously guarded and maintained, and their prosperity duly i@.-- GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

  The committee next waited on the Queen Dowager and presented the following resolution.  The meeting between the bereaved Queen and the Committee was marked by the deepest emotion.

  Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father, @ whose Divine Will, Kings and People are alike and equal, to remove @ our beloved Sovereign, King Kalakaua, and

  Whereas, His Majesty's @ the Nation and @ his loyal People @ King, at a time when the Royal Family and His Subjects were anticipating with @ and joy @ expectat@ his return in @ health @ a reign of unprecedented prosperity @ the country, during which period @ made manifest those Christian g@ of impartial and unostentations benevolence and affection, which was a part of His Majesty's being, and which were highly appreciated and now remembered with deep gratitude by the His People.  Therefore

  Be it Resolved, that we the People of Hawaii nei, do hereby proclaim in mass meeting assembled the deep sorrow of the Nation for the loss which this People has sustained in the sad demise of a kind sympathetic and generous Ruler, and tender to our Widowed Queen, Her Gracious Majesty Kapiolani, the People's heartfelt sympathy and condolence in this the hour of her sad bereavement and which we pray Her majesty will design to accept as a lasting token of the sincere respect and unalloyed esteem in which we as a Nation revere the memory of our late lamented Sovereign.

  Pursuant to appointment the Committee waited on Admiral Brown at 3:30 o'clock.  The Committee were conveyed to and from the Charleston in the boats of the Flag ship and were most courteously received by Admiral Brown.  Commander Remy, and officers of the Charleston.  The chairman of the Committee then addressed the Admiral as follows:

  Admiral Brown:  We appear as the Representatives of the people delegated by a meeting duly convened at the call of the elected members of the Hawaiian Legislature.  The purpose of our visit is to present resolutions tendering the grateful acknowledgements of the Hawaiian People to the Citizens of the United States of America for the cordial hospitality extended to our late lamented King through the People of California and through yourself and the officers and men under your command during his life-time, and for the sympathy and care shown hin during his brief illness.  We present you these resolutions, as a feeble expression of our gratitude as a Nation:  

  Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to take away suddenly and unexpectedly from this life, our beloved Sovereign, King Kalakaua, while sojourning in the State of California for the restoration of his health, and

  Whereas the good and generous People of the United States of America, together with their Authorities and Representatives have tendered their most kind and cordial hospitality, with unmistakable signs of friendship and @ to our beloved King, during his visit among them, and have manifestly exhibited their utmost respect for Him after His sad demise, together with their hearty sympathies with His People and Subjects in this our bereavement.  Therefore

  Be it Resolved by the Loyal People of Hawaii nei, in mass meeting assembled that herewith we express our heartfelt thanks and feeling of lasting gratitude to the noble hearted People of California and of the United States of America in general, for the courteous and kind attentions and favors extended to our lamented King, and for the sympathy and warm friendship shown unto the People of Hawaii on this sorrowful occasion, whereby the cordial relations already existing between the two Nations will be @ and strengthened, and

  Be it @ Resolved that @ and @ Admiral Brown, the Officers and Men of the U.S. Flagship "Charleston" for their kind @ and courteous attention and for the many @ Sovereign.

  The Admiral @ replied that the United States @ will @ to this country.  In California the @ class of people had @ friendship and honor to the King.  Speaking of his own personal intercourse with the King it was a @ to have his company on the voyage over and @ responsibility in doing what @ make his voyage and visit to California @ to his health.
