KA LEO O KA LAHUI.

ON DIT.

 

            That an appropriate device for the alter of the new foreign church would be the reverse side of the Almighty Dollar with the legend, “In God we trust – 900 grains fine.”

            That the man who sits in his cushioned pew and carelesslu casts into the contribution box the daily earning of a hundred wretches toiling from light to dark under the overseer’s lash, fondlu imagines that he is lying up treasure in Heaven.

            That Minister Spencer is making a noble effort to preserve in office the poor relations of the family compact who would be unable to earn their living without government aid.  It is a sad thing to see these finehaired and delicate creatured at the the mercu of the unsympathetic world.

 

            That it requires more than a few “By Authority” advertisements to silence the Voice of the Nation.

 

            The motto of the Supreme Court is:  “Let right prevail though the Heavens fall;” but at present when the earth is a little shaky the majority of the Court are not taking any chances on the Heaven.  Cumficet Justitia Laetebit diabo@us, when he gets his own.

 

            That an anxious people are reassured to learn that the hula will continu to receive the santion of our Gracious Sovereign.  It is a satisfaction to know that this remarkable institution is to survive, and Hawaiian girls will continue to wriggle their hind quarters for the edification of strangers and the glory of the Nation.

            The Hawaiian danseuse can never attain the graceful abandon of manners and clothes displayed in the ballet of the foreigners.  Recently Rice’s Evangeline Company gave an entertainment at the Opera House.  Of course the cream of Honolulu society was present.  We saw a bright red blush on the faces of several citizens who have gazed unmoved on the hula.

 

            These Darwinian scientists might learn something by studying Hawaiian Government if it gets to going according to the great principles of sexual selection.

 

            We wonder if the recently captured opium will suffer a sea change into something new and strange.  Our marshal will probably discover where and how the drug is imported.  It is better not to attempt to prosecute the parties as it might precipitate a revolution. The respedtable class of foreigners would not stand it.

 

            L. A. Thurston and some of the most emenently respectable people of the community have formed a company to control the volcano.  They might save the country  by taking up thei abode there.

 

            We hope the Ministry knows its friends from its enemies; for now comes the bland and sweet spoken missionary with influence, like a fond parent with sugar in one hand and a lash in the other.

 

Violation and Dereliction of Duty.

 

            The recent murder in Hamakua is one of half-a-dozen similar daxes that have occurred in Hawaii during the last year.  The sheriff of that island has not only neglected to take any measures to bring the criminals to justice, but has published reports tending to hush the matter up that were contrary to well known facts.  The energy displayed in this case and the strange inaction is hard to explain o any supposition consistent with a just and impartial administration of the law.

 

            The officers in Hawaii and elsewhere are to much in concord, being generally members of related families.  The harmony be gotten of mutual interests enables them to second each other admirably, and to conduct the business of the government and the courts without friction.  But what securety have the people for their rights when one officer forms no check on the other and can depend on having his acts, no matter how nefarious, approved by his colleagues in power.  We have had too much of this kind of co-operation.

 

                                    An Explamation.

 

            In the case of Jones versus Gerke to which we made reference in our article of yesterday, we took the facts from the meagre outline which appeared in the daily press report.  It appears that Mr. Gerke had about 30 Jap laborers, one of whom met with an accident, and the Jap servant of Dr. Jones called the Doctor to the man without Mr. Gerkes, knowledge, and as Mr. Gerke was well known to call in Dr. Mitamurra in such cases, he durred tp pay for services that he did not request.  As usual all is fair in a lawsuit, and Mr. Gerke’s counsel successfully resisted, on technical points, one of which was that the only contract signed with the Jap was by the Hawaiian Government, and also that the Doctor’s licence to practice was not sealed by the then Minister of the Interior, Mr. Thurston.

            The case proves the truth of Judge Dole’s simile, that the transfer of laborers by the government is no better than the transfer of a “hack-horse and harness.’  We see no cause to suppose that Mr. Gerke acted dishonorably. 

                       

                                    The Land Question.

 

            The want of a good Homestead act is a vact which must be recognized and remedied at the earliest opportunity.  We see the government disposing of large tracts of land by auction an we see long leases disposed of in the same manner, and in each case a syndicate of capitalists grab the land.

            We see in these cases a hindrance put in the way of true settlement on the land.  The true prosperity of the country depends less on the formation of syndicates who import their machinery from Europe and their labor from Japan, or China, or Goa, or by Kidnapping; than it does on the settlement of a class of working men who will go into the forest and hill and by thei honest toil found a home for their children who will become the Hawaiian citizens of the future.

            We know of men who are industrious and with large families born here who have been trying for years to get a homestead on government land; but they can not compete with the land-shark who can plant his cash down at a government auction.  Honest and wise government would make the law so as to unable such men to get say 20 actes at a fair price and make the period of payment extend over 30 years.  In no case should the government part with the land in fee simple, befor 20 years, as a guarantee of bone fide settlement.

            The present Homestead act entitles the occupies to pay for his land in one payment but professes to guard it for honest settlement by forbidding him to dispose of it for five years.  This is an absurdity, when a man pays for his land in full, he can dispose of it to the first speculator that comes along, and so defeat the whole spirit and intent of the Law.
