Transfer of treasures of the National Museum to the Bishop Museum, 1891.

SLIPPING AWAY.

Barring any obstacles, during some of the days of this week, the location of the artifacts housed in the National Museum Office at Aliiolani Hale will be transferred to the Bishop Museum Office at Kamehameha School, to go under the care of Prof. W. S. Brigham of the Bishop Museum.

If the artifacts of the Nation are moved to their intended new nest, then that office will be open for other Government Agencies, like the Department of Land Survey, and its space will become an office for the two houses, and that is great because it is directly adjacent to the Attorney General’s Office; but this all depends on the decision of the one who sings.

The Pastor, the Pulpit, and the Church.

[Written for Ka Leo o ka Lahui.]

A pastor is one who travels. He goes far and wide. A pastor is knowledgeable and enlightened; he has spiritual wisdom, and his spirit is filled with aloha and patience; he does not grumble, is not snappy, nor impatient, nor hurtful; he has no contempt for others, when misfortune befalls him. He is truly devout, and prays sincerely for all, leaving none out; it is not right for a pastor to say:—”Ah! He will fall for he disregards the teachings of the pious.” The pastor should not say: “Because of his sins, he is cast out by God from above.”

When Christ was on this earth, he said: Do no harm to those that bring harm to you; love your enemy and pray for those who hurt you.

A Doctor is there for the sick, while a pastor is there to teach the sinners. Continue reading →

“ALOHA TO YOU ALL:

I take this day, that being my birthday, to thank the Powerful One for the blessings of our lives as this year nears its close. And also, the time is near for My travels to the foreign lands in search of benefits for the industries of our nation is quickly upon us; I seize this time now to express my Aloha for all of you, my makaainana.

I am leaving to carry out what was recently decided in the Legislative session. Continue reading →

Plans for Independence Day, 1885.

The heads of the nation are planning on a great celebration on the 28th of November, that being La Kuokoa. Therefore, there will be a parade on that day; a speech by Robert Hoapili Baker [R. Hoapili Beka] at Kaumakapili for independence day, the one that we are questioning as to whether he has a brain that can compose a speech for that day by himself; and a banquet for the benefit of Kaumakapili Church after the activities at the church are through. This is something new that we see, that the heads of the nation themselves are doing this, and not the makaainana. Perhaps it was seen that the makaainana were neglectful in observing this day because of their lack of trust in the ministers of the government.

REMINISCENCES OF TIMES PAST.

The Picture above is the Hawaiian Warship, H. M. S. Kaimiloa; on her Deck is King Kalakaua, and some of his attendants behind him.

This picture was taken before they left Hawaii for their trip to Samoa.

ALAPAKAI SMITH [ALAPAKI SMITH]

SON OF HENRY SMITH, FOR AUDITOR [LUNAHOOIA]

An expert in all types of books; he can care for all the finances of the county being that this is the office which watches over all the money of the county. He is conscientious in all ways and is fearful of dishonesty.

I worked with the American Factors Company for a number of years, in the tax department for a number of years, and a number of years doing the books for banks from the side of the government, and that is what I am currently doing; therefore I am fully capable in all aspects. Lift up this Hawaiian youth for the pride of the Hawaiian people.

[I think the inscription on the picture reads: “Announcing my candidacy for the Republican nomination for Auditor. Alapaki Smith.” And there is “Post” written in another hand on the right side.]

HON. H. L. HOLSTEIN

REPRESENTATIVE

You, my fellow makaainana, will perhaps not fault the many years which I was in the revered walls of the house of representatives as one of the tireless servants striving to make laws for our well-being.

I continuously fought without giving up for our good, and we can perhaps say, O My fellow citizens, that our toil during those years of perseverance against the rain and cold was all worth it.

Because of those long years that I lived as a public servant in our legislature, I am fully capable of not being offended by anyone.

Therefore, I ask you, all of my fellow makaainana of Maui, the island famed for the Lokelani flower, to remember a ballot for me on election day, and should I be victorious, then it will be a victory for all of us, and I will carry out all my duties for the good of the people using all my abilities, justly, and with patience.
