PREJUDICE AGAINST MISSIONARIES The Character of the Opposition to the Republic. a PURITAN INFLUENCE ee Special Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. HONOLULU, August 20, 1896. For more than a year past opposition to the republt: has been declining.

Such Hawaiian » Which was March, 189%, at the time of the arrival of Mr. Cleveland's commissioner, James H. Blount. It was then suppos that Col. Blount’s mission was gate the subject of annexation, and it was deemed that strenuous newspaper advocacy would assist the cause. It proved, how- that Mr. Blount’s errand purely ablish the truth of the royalist asser- tion that the queen had been dethroned by the menace of the United States forces from the Boston, under the iniquitous con- nivance of Minister Stevens and Captain Wiltse. The original aim of the Star's ex- istence was thus subverted. It has, how- ever, successfully continued its existence and is fairly prosperous. The steady ‘th of Honolulu proves to justify the ence of three daily papers. Each of them prints eight pages of medium size. The Advertiser and Star employ linotype machines. with the arted in ected Newspnper Leanings. Despite his royalistic affinities, the editor of the Bulletin, who has worked many years in Honolulu, being a Nova Scotian of quite Puritan antecedents, tends to incline to the “missionary” side on questions of moral propriety, such as Sunday obscrv- ance, on which there continues to be a strugg!e of long standing. The Star has strong California affinities, and leans toward laxity. The Advertiser is much under “missionary” influence, and conserva- tive on moral questions. Dan Logan of the Bulletin is an expert- enced and able newspaper man, who under- stands his business well. He knows how to make a good paper, and generally gets his news accurately. He is quite heartily a Britisher of the Canadian variety. An- nexation to the United States is little to his taste. But he very sensibly avoids open antagonism of that measure, waiting to see how the business is going to come out. There is too much here that looks like “manifest destiny” in that direction to leave much ardor in its opponents It comes in place here to renew some per- haps former expositions of what is meant by the common expressions “missionaries,” “missionary party,” “missionary influence.” From 30 to 75 years ago there existed a large body of Protestant American mission- aries in Hawaii, who had an enormous in- fluence over the native people, and more or less directly, through the native chiefs, upon public affairs. Those good people are all dead except two men and two women, far advanced in old age. The chiefs also are all gone, as well as almost all of the older generations of the native people, over whom they possessed such an ascendency The principles of the old missionaries, ho ever, became permanently inwrought into the morals and religion of the country, among both whites ‘and natives. Their moral and religious sentiments are espe- cially represented by a very large and in- fiuential body of pastors and members of Protestant chur-hes, and of those affiliated with them. To all these people the name of “missionaries” is commonly applied by those of adverse sentimen:s. It is very commonly used in an invidious sense, just as “Methodist” and “Puritan were for- merly used in England, and generally with a maledictory prefix. In popular parlance, a “missionary” means any man who has scruples about common morals. A_half- white boards an incoming steamer on a vile rrand; he solicits one of the passens ho replies: “No, I have a wife.” you d— missionary!” Whalers and Mi It is to be noted that the present animos- ity of feeling against missionaries 1s faint, as compared with that prevailing here from fifty to seventy years ago among white men, who were then chiefly of the seafaring class. Sailors, wanderers of the ocean, are loose in life. Nearly all white men when among the dark races give free rein to ap- petite. To the white sojourners in Ha- wail in 1820, leading loose and easy lives among these careless Polynesians, the ar- rival of a band of stern, sanctified Puri- tans, strict in morals and sentiment, cre- ated a severe collision. The clean,’ pure life of the missionary constituted a painful proach to the revelers, many of them from Puritan homes in New England, whence most of the whalers had come. When they entered the Pacific ocean they “hung their consciences on Cape Horn,” to be picked up on their return to civiliza- tion. These people bringing out to them new consciences were decidedly unwel- come. It is very likely that the missionary was sometimes less tolerant and gentle to these easy-going sinners, less merciful in his judgment, than he’ might have been. But a@ specific cause of furious hostility arose in about the year 1826, whem the mission- arics had obtained the very hearty and thorough conversion of ruling chiefs, Kaahu! Kalauinaokee. Throug! e authority of these great and powerful personages the missionaries Bingham at Honolulu and Richards at Lahaiua got an end put to what had been invariabla custom, the fill- ing of the ships in port With women. This universal practice is naively mentioned by most of the old voyagers Vike Cook. It has always been practiced, by traders and whalers, as well as discOvery ships when touching at settlements of savages. Mis- sionaries naturally seck ito suppress the practice, because it demoralizes their cat- echumens. Fury at the Missionaries. When this convenient arrangement was prohibited in the two chief ports the fury of masters and men was unbounded. Round shot were fired at Richards’ house in La- haina, and himself attacked by a mob of sailors and officers. Bingham was simi- larly assaulted in Honolulu, both being re: cued by the natives. For twenty years af- terward, in ordinary shipping and commer- cial circles in Honolulu, “missionary” could not be named without curses. That ex- treme animosity has gradually abated, and “missionaries” are now fairly tolerated and individually spoken of with respect by the opposite party. A large body of people have also settled in Honolulu and other ces who are of reputable, often of high, character, and give tone to public seiti- ment. Connection with missionary families tends to favor social position, at the time that it enlists the old reproach. It has been unfortunate in its effect upon the quite capable and influential half-white population, that most of them inherit the sentiments of the old m nary-hating sailor-whites of sixty yea 0. It with that class that nearly all the inte: marriages of native women took place, and the haif-whites more or less inherit the feeling of their white fathers, adverse to the missionaries. ‘This was not universal. Considerable numbers of t i whites were ed in the familic sionary and mothers, or in day conducted by them, and became to their instructors. There a decided tendency to have children educated in. the established boarding schools of the Ss and Anglicans. ‘On the whole, of the half-white population’ is nistic in feeling to the “mission- he leading and nh, Kalakua and half-whi later Cathoh majorit antag It is partly in consequence of this state of feeling that the greater number of the half-whiies are decidedly opposed government, which is much in t of the so-called “missionary party, as to the republican form of government. I have heretofore pointed out what has been a leading cause of desire among half- whites for the continuance of the mon- archy, namely, that under a native mi archy they were p arly objects of fa- vor, and rd especial advantages cf social pos’ At the same time that the half-whites were prized by the nativ sovereign as of his own race, thelr super- jor force and mental ability’ placed them far ahead of the pure natives, both in_ th court and in government employ. They held the preference both over whites and pure natives. With the abolition of mun- archy the half-white loses this great though factitious advantage. He is rele- gated to such social and political position as his unaided personal merits can secure to him. It is thus most natural that more than the pure Hawa he should regret the monarchy, and desire its oration. To be thrown upon his ow: , with= out factitious favor, is unspeakably ‘betier for his growth in character and it is a me from and ability; y to him to be delivered unspeakably debauching — in- the old Hawaiian court.

MEHAMEHA. ——— WISE OFFICE ‘RATS. They Hnd a Scheme That Beat the New-Fangled Trap. From the Newark Dally Advertiser. Ihe emplcyes of the Jersey City Printing Company have for a long time been trou- bled with rats. ‘The rodents are of unusual size, and are extremely bold. They are boldest after dark, and think nothing of running over the feet of the employes. Several cats were placed in the building, with the hope that they would exterminate the rats, but the latter made it so warm for the cats that they were driven away. Various schemes ~have been worked to entrap the rodents, but with little success. Finally Engineer August Krone hit upon a scheme that for a time bade fair to be just the thing. He secured an old zinc oil tank, about 3 feet in height, and then fastened on the edge a 2-foot piece of board. Then he arranged the board so that } would swing up and down, with one end inside the tank. He placed a piece of bologna sausage, fastened with a rubber band, on the edge of the board which projected over the inside of the tank, and half filled the Vessel with water. A few pieces of cheese were placed along the other end of the board to coax the rats on. The trap set where rats are thick- est, in the basement, and in a few minute a rat climbed upon the end of the board which protruded outside the tank and rest- ed upon a support. The rodent ate th cheese, and then went for the bologna. As it reached the bait the other end of the board tipped up, and the rat, with a squeal, fell into the water and was drowned. “Oh, that’s the trick,” said the engineer, and his assistant said August had a great head. Within ten minutes the plank, and th able display of rat's cuteness. Two rodents climbed the pile of papers, and, while one stood on the safe end of the board, the other carefully made its way to the tempting bologna and devoured half of it. The rats then changed places, and the cther ate the rest of the bologna and half the rubber band. ‘The eng-neer scratched his head and the other spectators said something about peo- ple going to a lot of trouble for nothing. During the afternoon no more rais were caught, but a lot of cheese was caten by them. The engineer solemniy avers that he saw the rats not only balance one an- other on the board while the tempting bait Was devoured, but that the rodents actu- ally engaged in a game of see-saw, simply for amusement. August still has faith in his patent trap, but nobody else has. ————+ + A Natural Bear Trap. From the Chicago Record, F. H. Knowlton tells in Recreation about a natural bear trap in the northeastern portion of the Yellowstone National Park, on a small stream called Cache creek, about ten miles above its junction with the La- mas river. Knowlton and a friend were going up through a gulch Cache creek had made, when, rear the head of the creek, about fifty feet distant, they saw a huge grizzly bear curled up as if asleep. Con- sidering it to be impolite to awaken tt, and having nothing to offer but prospectors’ picks, they climbed up the side of the gulch at once, quietly and expeditiously. Out of reach of the bear, they stopped and fired rocks and arathemas at it, but as the bear continued in the same position, they finally made up their minds that it was dead. It was dead and had been dead about five hours. There was no wound on its body, but a little blood had dripped from the nostrils. They. then became con- scious of a sense of suffocation from strong sulphur fumes arising from mineral springs thereabouts. The bear had wandered in them, tempted, perhaps, by the skeletons of four other bears, an elk, squirrels, rock hares and butterflies and other insects, and had been asphyxiated by the noxious gases. The head of the gulch made a sort of basin, in which the gas settled. This gas is not very deep, a man’s head being about on the surface of it, since the scoop’s rim allows the gas to flow down the stream with the creek, in a sort of a gas river on the water creek. iX more rats walked n there was a remark- ee Looking Through the Keyhole.
