HEAVY BURDENS OF THE PEOPLE. The Lurid Reign of the Late King Kalakaua, A TOOL OF DESIGNING MEN. Commissioner Blount when obtaining in- formation concerning affairs in Hawaii was furnished by the provisional government with a statement of the condition of the people and government under King Kala- kaua, and the evils which the people suffer- ed. Following is an abstract of this state- ment which gives an interesting view of recent Hawaitan history: It is true that the germs of many of the eviis of Kalakaua’s reign may be traced to the reign of Tamehamaha V. The reaction- Under him the recrudescence of heathen- ism began, as evinced by the pagan orgies | malu, in June, 1886, and by his encourage- ment of the lascivious hulahula dances, sorcerers. Closely connected with this re- action was a growing jealousy and hatred of foreigners. Intrigues During Lunalilo'’s Reign. During Lunalilo's reign, 1873-74, this feel- ing was fanned into a flame by several causes, the execution of the law for the segregation of lepers, the agitation over the proposed session of Pearl Harbor to the United States, and the famous mutiny at the barracks. Kalakaua made the most of this disaffection, smarting as he was under his defeat in the election of January 8, 1873. His manifesto previous to that elec- tion appealed to this race prejudice. He promised if elected to repeal the poll tax, to put native Hawaiians into government offices, and to amend the constitution of 1s6i. “Beware,” he said, “of the constitu- tion of 1852, and the faise teachings of the foreigners who are now seeking to obtain the direction of the government if Lunalilo ascends the throne.”” Walter Murray Gibson, formerly Mormon apostle and shepherd of Lanai, then a pro- fessional politician and editor of the scur- rilous paper, Nuhou, disappointed that he had been ignored in the formation of Lu- nalilo’s cabinet, attached himself to Kala- kaua’s party. The Election of Kalakaua. Upon Lunalilo’s untimely death, February 3, 1874, as no successor to the throne had been appointed, the legislature was sum- moned to meet on the 12th. The choice lay between Kalakaua and the queen dowa- ger, Emma. The cabinet and American party favored the former, and the English the latter. At the same time Kalakaua’s true character was not understood. The natives knew that his family had always been an idolatrous one; his reputed grandfather, Kamanawa, had been hanged in 1840 for poisoning his wife. Under Tame- hamaha V he had been an advocate of ab- solutism and: the removal of the prohibi- tory liquor law. A defalcation occurred while he was postmaster, which was cover- ed up, his friends makng the loss good to the government. Queen Emma's adherence carried Oahu, but Kalakaua secured the rest of the islands. It was charged, and generally believed, that bribery was used to secure Kalakaua’s election. Be that as it may, the legislature was convened, and elected Kalakaua king by 39 votes to 6. A mob of Queen Emma's partisans had surounded the court house during the elec- tion, sacking the building and assaulting the representatives with clubs. Mr. Pierce, the American minister, had anticipated the riot, and had agreed with Commodore Belknap of the Tuscarora and Commodore Skerrett of the Portsmouth upon a signal for landing the troops under their com- mand. Under formal request from Mr. C. R. Bishop, minister of foreign affairs,a body of 150 marines landed from the two men-of- war, and in a few minutes were joined by one of seventy men from H. B. M.'s cor- vette Tenedos. They quickly dispersed the mob and arrested a number of them with- out bloodshed. The British troops occuped Queen Emma's grounds; the other govern- ment buildings were guarded by American troops until the 20th. The next day at noon Kalakaua was sworn in as king under the protection of United States troops. For sev- eral years he depended upon the support of the foreign community, and did not venture to proclaim a new constitution, nor to dis- regard public opinion in his appointments, The reciprocity treaty with the United States was concluded January 30, 1875, and the act necessary to carry it into effect was passed by the Hawaiian legislature July 18, 1876, after the most stubborn opposition, chiefly from the English members of the house and the partisans of Queen Emma, who denounced it as a step toward annexa- tion, The Advent of Spreckels. ‘The first effect of the reciprocity treaty was to cause a boom in sugar. In 1878 Mr- Spreckels applied to the cabinet for a lease of the surplus water of the streams on the northeast’ side of Maul, as far as Hono- manu. Up to this time the changes ig the cabinet had been caused by disagreements between its members, and had no political significance. Mr. Spreckels’ request was re- fused on the ground that it would give him @ perpetual monopoly of the water. in the mean time Mr. Gibson, after months of preparation, had brought in be- | fore the legislature a motion of want of | confidence, which was defeated by a vote of 26 to 19 on June 24. On the night of July 1 Messrs. Claus Spreckels and G. W. Mc- Farlane had a long conference with Kali kaua at the Hawaiian Hotel, on the sub- ject of the water privilege, and adjourned to the palace about midnight. The result | was that letters were drawn up and signed | by the king addressed to each member of the cabinet, requesting his resignation, without giving a reason. These letters were | delivered by a messenger between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. Such an arbitrary ‘and despotic act was without precedent in | Hawaiian history. The next day a new | cabinet was appointed consisting of 8. B. Wilder, minister of the interior; K. Pres- | ton, attorney general; Simon Kaai, minister of finance, and John Kapena, minister of foreign affairs. The last two positions were sinecures, but Kaai, as a speaker and poli- tician, had great influence with his coun- trymen. The new cabinet granted Mr. | Spreckels the desired water privilege for thirty years at $500 per annum. ‘The opium license and free liquor bills were killed. ‘I'he j actual premier, Mr. Wilder, was the ablest administrator Hawaii ever had; but his de- ; termination to administer his own depart- ment in accordance with business methods did not suit the king. Meanwhile Gibson spared no pains to pose as the champion of the Kanakas. He even tried to capture the missionaries, professed religion, and spoke in favor of, temperance. Celso Caesur Moreno. | Celso Caesar Moreno, an alleged lobby- | ist, arrived in Honolulu November 14, 1879, to establish a line of steamers between Honolulu and China; during his stay in Honolulu of ten months he gained un- | bounded influence over the king by ser- | | vile flattery. He encouraged his craze for ja ten million-dollar loan, and in the elec- | tions of 1880 the king's candidate advocated such a loan and unlimited Chinese immi- gration. With Moreno's assistance he pro- duced a pamphlet in support of these views, entitled “A reply to ministerial utterances.” In the legislature of 1880 was seen the strange spectacle of the king working with a pair of unscrupulous adventurers to oust his own constitutional advisers, and in- troducing through his creatures a series of ary policy of that monarch was well known. } at the funeral of his sister, Vctoria Kama- | and of the perncious class of kahunas or | | bills which were generally defeated by the ministry. Gibson had now thrown off the mask, and voted for every one of the king’s and Moreno’s measures. Among their bills which failed were the ten million-dollar loan bill, the opium license bill, the free liquor bill, and especially the bill guaran- teeing a bonus of $1,000 in gold to Mo- reno’s Trans-Pacific Cable Company. ‘The subsidy to the China line of steamers was | carried by the lavish use of money, but it | was never paid. Appropriations were passed for the education of the Hawaiian youths abroad, and for the coronation of the king and queen. . At last on the 4th of August, Gibson brought in a motion of “want of confi- dence,” which, after a lengthy debate, was defeated by the decisive vote of 32 to 10. On the Mth the king prorogued the lezis- lature at noon, and about an hour later dis- missed his ministers without a word of explanation, and appointed Moreno pre- mier and minister of foreign affairs; J. K. Bush, minister of the interior; W. C. Jones, | attorney general, and Rev. M. Kuaea, min- j ister of finance. The announcement of Moreno’s appoint- jment created intense excitement. For the \first time the discordant elements were united and supported by a large majority of the natives. The three highest and most influential chiefs joined in condemning the king’s course. Two mass meetings were held to protest against the coup d'etat. The ministers of the United States, Eng- land and France declared that they would hold no further official intercourse with the , Hawalian government as long as Moreno should be premier. On the side of the king R. W. Wilcox and others harangued the natives, appealing to their jealousy of fol jeigners. After four days of intense ex- citement the king yielded to the storm. Moreno’s resignation was announced on the 19th and on the 30th he left for Europe. it Was afterward learned that he bore a se- |cret commission as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary to all the great bowers, as well as letlers addressed to the governments of the United States, France yd England demanding the recai of their representatives. Mr. W. L. Green was per- suaded to accept the vacunt place of min- ister of foreign affairs September 22. In a few days he aiscovered what had been done and immediately notified the representa- tives of the three powers concerned of the insult that had been offered them. The outcome was the resignation of Mr. Green and his colleagues. The Green- ‘arter Ministry. Mr. Claus Spreckels, who arrived Septem- ber 5, took an active part in these events and in the formation of the new ministry, which consisted of W. L. Green, minister of foreign affairs; H. A. P. Carter, minis- ter of the interior; J. 5. Walker, minister of finance, and W. N. Armstrong, attorney general. Their first act was to annul Mo- reno’s commission and disavow his letters. Shortly after this King Kalukaua starteu on his trip around the wortd. At Napivs Moreno tried to again control his majesty, but Was deieated im his audacicus purpose. During the King’s absence hus sister, airs. Domus, styled Lilluonwian, acted as re- went. He returned to runviulu Uctover 2, desl.

The legislature of 18% was one of the Weakest and most corrupt that ever sat in Honolulu. The king was in control of a majority, Gibson became premier May 19. His colleagues were J. E. Bush, lately of Moreno's cabinet; Simon Kaai, who drank himself to death, and Edward Preston, at- torney general. One of their first measures was an act to convey to Claus Spreckels 24,000 acres of crown land to compromise a claim. The prohibition against turnishing intoxicating liquors to the natives was re- pealed with disastrous consequences. The appropriation bill was double the receipts of the government. At the last moment a bill was rushed through giving the king sole power to appoint district justices through his creaures, the governors. This was another step toward absolutism, Claus Spreckels was backing the Gibson ministry. ‘The Coronation. King Kalakaua was recrowned February 12, 1883, with all the pomp, feasts and dances that could surround it. The dances were a series of nightly hulahulas, i. e., heathen dances, accompanied by appropri- ate songs. The printer of the coronation hula program, which contained the subjects and first lines of these songs, was prosecut- ed and fined by the court on account of their gross and incredible obscenity. Kalakaua was no longer satisfied with being merely King of Hawaii, but aspired to what Gibson cailed “the primacy of the Pacific.” He aspired to a virtual protector- ate of all the island groups. One of the in- cidents of this year was the coinage of $1,00,00 of silver, the intrinsic value being about 8 cents each. It was intended to exchange this silver for gold bonds. But the court decided that the exchange would be illegal. But the decision was evaded by a subterfuge. Spreckels and Kalakaua made $150,000 on this transaction. Gibsoh’s first cabinet went to pieces in about a year. For some time he was in possession of near- ly all the cabinet positions. The treasury was empty and government bonds had fall- en to 7% per cent. Then, to the surprise of the public, Spreckels decided to support the Gibson cabinet. In the election of 1884 a reaction took place and the palace party was defeated, the reform party controlling the house. The report of the finance committee was the most damaging exposure ever made to a Hawaiian legisiature. A national bank charter had been drawn up for Mr. Spreck- els. It provided for the issue of $1,000,000 worth of paper, but the sufeguards of a sound banking system were omitted. It was empowered to own steamship lines and rail- roads and carry on a mercantile business without paying license fees. It was intend- ed to monopolize transportation and import- ing business. Indignation meetings were held against it, and it was killed by an overwhelming majority. At the same ses- sion a lottery bill was introduced by agents of the Louisiana company. In defiance of public indignation the bill was forced through at second reading and then with- drawn. An opium license bill was also kill- ed, as well as an $8,000,000 loan bill. Practical Politics Under Gibson. During the next few years the country suffered from a peculiarly degrading kind of despotism. No reference is made to the king’s personal immorality nor to his sys- tematic efforts to debauch and heathenize the natives to further his political ends. For the first time in Hawaiian history faithful officers were summarily removed and their places filled with pliant tools. The various branches of the civil service were made political machines. All who would not bow the knee were sneeringly styled “missionaries.” Grog shops were licensed in the country districts as rallying points for the “national party.” Race hatred was fomented among the natives and class jeal- ousy among the whites. Fortunately the supreme court remained independent and outlived the Gibson regime. ‘The election of 1886 was the most corrupt one held under the old regime. During the canvass the country districts were flooded with cheap gin, chiefly furnished by the king, who paid for it by franking other liquor through the custom house free of duty, and thereby defrauding the govern- ment of revenue amounting to $4,749.35. Out of twenty-eight government candidates twenty-six were office holders, one a last year’s tax assessor and one the queen's secretary. There was only one white man on the government ticket and he the pre- mier’s son-in-law. To secure the defeat of an objectionable candidate the king took an active personal part in the election, which nearly provoked a riot. Only ten reform candidates were elected. The Sexsion of 1886. The session of 1886 was a long one. A new cabinet was fo-med June 30, consisting of W. M. Gibson, minister of the interior; two recent arrivals, and P. P. Kanoa, min- ister of finance, in place of J. Kapena, who had died of alcoholism. An opium license bill was introduced by ome of the king’s tools and carried by a one ever held in this kingdom and the last | bare majority. Another act was passed to create a so-called Hawaiian board of health, with power to issue certificates to rative Kahunas to practice “native med- icine." The meaning of this is well under- stood by any who have lived on the Sand- wich Islands. A $2,000,000 loan bill was pass- ed September 1. Two parties were develop- ed in the legislature, the Spreckels party, led by the ministry, and the king’s party, which favored placing the loan in London. The inside of this was that the government owed Spreckels about $700,000, and he want- ed his money. When the decisive moment arrived the ministry was defeated, and the cabinet resigned that night. Gibson went on his knees to the king and begged to be reappointed. The next morning, October 15, to the disgust of his late allies, Gibson reap- peared in the house as pzemier, with three native colleagues, but from this time he had no real power, as he had neither moral nor financial backing. Mr. Spreckels called on the king and returned all his decorations and shook off the dust from his feet. The legislature appropriated $100,000 for a gun- boat and $15,000 to celebrate the king’s fifti- eth birthday. By the terms of the loan act the London syndicate was entitled to five per cent as a commission, but they heid up $75,000 in addition, which has never been re- covered. From now on the king acted as his own prime minister, employing Gibson to execute his schemes and defend his fol- lies. For the next eight months he went rapidly from bad to worse. Among the lesser scandals was the sale of offices, frauds against the revenue, the illegal leas- ing of land to the king, the sale of exemp- tions to lepers, and misapplication of public funds. Efforts to revive heathenism were row redoubled under the pretense of culti- vating national feeling. A foreign fortune teller by name of Rosenburg acquired great influence over the king. In 1886 the Hale Naua Society was founded. It appears to have been intended partly as an agency for the revival of heathenism, partly to pander to vice, and indirectly to serve as a polit- ical machine. Kalakaua's jubilee was celebrated with immense pomp and ceremony, a distinguish- ing feature of which was the nightly per- formance at the palace of the lascivious and grossly indecent hulahulas. In pursu- ance of the policy of the “Primate of the Pacific,” Hon. J. E. Bush was commissioned on December 23, 1886, as envoy extraordi- nary and minister plenipotentiary to the King of Samoa and the King of Tonga and high commissioner to the other independent chiefs and peoples of Polynesia. A conven- tion was concluded February 17 between King Malietoa and the Hawaiian envoy by which both parties tound themselves to en- ter into a political confederation. “The signature was celebrated,” says Robert Louis Stevenson, “in the new house of the Hawaiian embassy with some orig- inal ceremonies. Malietoa came attended by his ministers, several hundred chiefs (Bush says sixty), two guards and six po- licemen. Laupepa (Malietoa),always decent, withdrew at an early hour; by those that remained all decency appears to have been forgotten, and day found the house carpet with slumbering grandees, who had to be roused, doctored with coffee, and sent home. Still worse stories are told of the drunken orgies that afterward disgraced the Ha- waiian embassy.” The Opium Bribe. The opium law passed by the iegislature of 1886 was so amended as to make"!t early unworkable. A set of regulations was there- fore gotten up providing for the issue of permits to purchase or use opium by the marshal, who was to retain nalf the tee and the government the other half. A Chinese rice planter named ‘fong Xce, alias Aki,was informed that he could have the opium license if he would give the king 160,000. Aki raised the money and paid it in three install- ments between December 3 and December &, 1886. Soon afterward he was informed that the king had been offered $75,000 for the license, and would get it unless he paid $15,000 more, Aki accordingly borrowed the amount and gave it to the king personally on the lth. Shortly after this another Cni- nese syndicate, headed py Chun Lung, paid the king $80,000 for the same object, but se- cured the license before handing over tne money. Thereupon Aki divulged the whole affair. Meanwhi'e the King’s go-between, was appointed to the responsi- ble office of registrar of conveyances. These exposures brought matters to a crisis, and united nearly all taxpayers, not merely against the king, but against the system of government under which such iniquities could be perpetrated. A Secret League. In the spring of 1887 a secret league was formed in Honolulu, with’ branches on the other islands, to put an end to misrule and establish a civilized government. Rifle clups sprang up all over the island. The league numbered about 1,00 men. Some members of the league favored a sudden attack upon the palace, but this advice was overruled, and it was decided to hoki a public mass meeting and present specific demands to the king. Accordingly, on the afternoon of June 30, 1887, all business in Honolulu was suspended and an immense meeting was held, composed of all creeds, classes and na- tionalities, but united in sentiment. A set of condemnatory resolutions was unanimously, demanding of the king the dismissal of his cabinet, a pledge that the king would no longer interfere in politics, and several other reforms. A committee of thirteen waited on him. His troops had deserted him, and the native populace wa: indifferent. He offered to transfer his pow- ers as king to the representatives of the United States, Great Britain, France and Portugal. These representatives refused his offer, but advised him to lose no time in forming a new cabinet and signing a new reply the next day conceding every point demanded. The new cabinet was sworn in the same day, July 1. Autocratic rule was at an end, and the suffrage was extended to foreigners. Gibson was arrested July 1, but was allowed to leave on the 5th on a tion for members of the legislature ordered for September 12 was the fairest in twenty years, and resulted in an overwhelming victory for the reform party. During the next three years, in spite of the bitter hos- tility and intrigues of the ki the contin- ual agitation by demagogues, dnd repeated conspiracies, the country prospered under the most efficient administration ever known. The cabinet was now composed of Godfrey Brown, minister of foreign affairs; L. A. Thurston, minister of the interior; W. L. Green, minister of finance, and C. W. Ash- ford, attorney general. The Royal Veto. This preceding narrative ended with the revolution of 1887. The remaining three and a half years of Kalakaua’s reign teemed with intrigues and conspiracies to restore autocratic rule. During the session of 1887 @ contest arose between the king and the legislature in regard to the veto power, in which the king won. During the following session of 1888 the king vetoed a number of | measures, all of which were passed over his head by a two-thirds vote, with one excep- tion. ‘The king's sister, Liliuokalani, had charg- ed her brother with cowardice for signing the constitution of 1887, and was in favor of |the old despotic government. Two Ha- waiian youths whom Moreno had placed in military schools in Italy had been re- called toward the end of 1887. Disappointed in their expectations of high position they were easily induced to head a conspiracy to restore the old regime. They tried to form a secret league and to inflame the |mative mind, but without success. Severs! members of their league turned informers, |but they were never brought to trial. Insurrection of 1889.

UGLY FEATURE OF THE PLAN. Notwithstanding the apparent reticence of the administration in regard to its plans for “righting the great wrong” done in Hawai! by the alleged conspirators Stevens, Wiltse et al, there is reason to believe that sluices of information on that point have been opened for the benefit only, how- ile of a favored few persons who have shown a strong disposition to President in this matter, Feed grmagattins, According to one of these, who claims to speak by the card, the plan of action is as follows: Minister Willis’ Instructions. Minister Willis was instructed by Secre- tary Gresham first to call on the deposed queen and inform her that the President of the United States has carefully consid- ered the methods by which the agents of government which could be repaired by her restoration to authority.

It has been significantly hinted by cere tain officials of the State Department that when the facts concerning the administra- tion policy toward Hawaii involving the restoration of Queen Liliuokalani become known, there will be a complete revulsion of public sentiment in its favor. The pro- gram outlined above may comprise some of the “facts” depended upon to accom this result, but whether they will itect the expected “revulsion” gemains to be seen. Meanwhile “Paramount Authority” Blount’s report, on which the ddministration so much reliance, has been duplicated sev- eral times for the edification and encour- agement of the members of the cabinet. A synopsis has been pre- pared for the press in order that the public may have an “interesting veri- similitude” to the otherwise bald and un- supported stutement of Secretary Gresham of the events which encompassed the over- throw of the “much abused queen.” This synopsis will probably be given out in a few constitution. Accordingly he sent a written | 225 The Queen Believed to Be on the Throne. The gentleman who made public the ab leged plans of Minister Willis in Honolulu and who seems to possess exceptional ad- antages at the State Department, says that Secretary Gresham has received @ dispatch from Minister Willis announcing his arrival at Honolulu and containing in- formation concerning an interview which he had with Queen Liliuokalani on Satur- day, the 4th instant. While Secretary Gresham declines to reveal the contents of the dispatch, says this gentleman, it is understood the queen was naturally over- joyed at the intelligence that she was to be restored to her throne. and was found wholly willing to accede to the request which Minister Willis was instructed to make to her for lenient and conciliatory treatment of the members of the provis- ional government. The State Department, he says, has be- come of information which leads to the conclusion that the desire of the gov- ernment for a peaceable and unresisted res- toration of the queen will be by the provisional government. An Ugly Feature of the Plan. Another gentleman not in the confidence of the administration, who makes no secret of his entire sympathy with the provisional government of Hawaii in its present dl- lemma, says that one of the ugliest features of the administration plan of restoring Queen Liliuokalani is that while the pro- visional leaders, as well as the representa~ tives of foreign powers at Honolulu, were kept in complete ignorance, the small geng of half castes and native Kanakas who sur- round the queen were fully informed of what was to take place. The latter had bragged so often, however, about the restor- ation of the queen that no one had placed any credence in what they said, although @ meeting of royalists was held the night be- fore the steamer China sailed, and cham- pagne flowed in honor of her reinstatement on the throne. Although she had new uni- forras made for her guards, and told her in- timates that she was to be restored to pow- er on Wednesday, November 8, the provi- sional government leaders, as well as all the influential whites, laughed at these preparations and confident speeches. No one could conceive, he said, that a great gove-nment, whose recognition of the pro- visional government was the cue for other foreign powers to give it recognition, would | engage in such petty and despicable busi- ress as putting back on the throne the wo- man who tried to raise coin by encouraging opium smuggling and the lottery, and whose last act was an attempt to disfranchise every white man.
