A CALL.

Rise, O Hawaii’s Own, patriotic men, women, and youth, and show to the world your true patriotism, how you treasure your traditional rights to the land under the alii from time immemorial. It is time that we come together in peace to show our disapproval of what is being done by the our nation’s administrators, that being their proclaiming of a Constitution for Hawaii that changes the nature of our nation and other things which we do not desire. As per the resolution of the Senate of America, to the people of Hawaii belongs the total right to establish and protect the form and the leadership of their nation as they desire, without interference from other national powers, therefore, you are all being summoned to come this evening to show your thoughts and independence, in accordance with this call by the Hawaiian Patriotic League. This is the right time, the time when the great desire of this lahui who were just earlier stirred to meet, to come, for there is a goal and the means to it is clear.

BICYCLE RACER IS NOW TERRITORIAL TREASURER

David L. Conkling Is Given Fat Job in Hawaii

[Special Correspondence of the Call]

HONOLULU, July 2.—David Lloyd Conkling, formerly chief clerk of the territory, has been appointed territorial treasurer to succeed A. M. Campbell, whom the senate refused to confirm.

Conkling is a young man who came to Hawaii from San Francisco as a fancy bicycle rider and racer, having been well known on the coast tracks 10 years ago.

After the bicycle craze died out he became purser on one of the inter-island steamers and later was a reporter for the Honolulu papers. He was appointed chief clerk by Governor Carter and received his promotion from Governor Frear.

Conkling’s appointment has been received with general favor.

Hawaii is a Gold Mine for America

According to the report by the treasurer of the Territory of Hawaii, D. L. Conkling, in the 12 years which have passed since the annexation of Hawaii to America, the income just from duties during that time come to more than $15,000,000, more than the other states of the United States. In the past year, Hawaii paid $1,772,869 in income taxes and duties to the coffers of America.

The rest of the states fell behind Hawaii in duties and income taxes, and therefore what we say about Hawaii being a gold mine for America is true; it is Hawaii who gave it to America then asked questions.

All of the expenses for the forts and the dredging of the harbors are paid for by Hawaii’s dollars, and America suffers nothing for Hawaii.

SAMOAN NEWS.

George Glendon, formerly of Honolulu, died suddenly at Apia, June 23d, from natural causes. He was one a member of the Hawaiian Legislature and after a school teacher. Embezzlement of school money got him in trouble. He went to Apia about a year ago and advertised as an attorney-at-law, but, owing to the state of the country, did not do much.

A proclamation issued by King Malietoa amongst other things prohibits the game of cricket being played. For a breach of this regulation the penalty has been fixed at a fine of $45 of three months’ imprisonment.

The new United States Consulate General building was used on the 4th of July, when Mr. Sewall gave a grand ball. It is a commodious and substantial structure.

One of the principal managers of the German plantation has been arrested and will be tried for ill-treatment of labor boys. When the case comes up in Court, some most unpleasant disclosures will be made.

A sporting club has been formed, and a three-quarter of a mile course laid out on suitable around.

Hawaiians deported from Samoa, 1891.

Hawaiians From Samoa

Aboard the steamship Zealandia which landed this past Saturday, these Hawaiian friends came back from Samoa due to the deportation proclamation by King Malietoa, and their passage was paid for by funds from the Legislature which was set aside. Here are their names: Kimo Kukona and wife, Kawelu and wife, Kaolola, Kaluna, Moanalua, and Kahinu. They said that life in those islands was comfortable, and suitable for the health, but they could not stay long because of King Malietoa’s deportation order. There is much leprosy spreading there.

Hairama Kaumialii and Mose wed Samoan wives. The latter named is a sailor on the Kaimiloa who abandoned ship at Samoa. They both will return under the deportation law. Kauaua, a sailor from the Kaimiloa who fled, assimilated to the Samoan way of life, and is covered in a tattoo. These are the Hawaiians who remained and are preparing to return: Mose, Kaliko, Kauaua, Keoni, A. B. Kaaukuu, Mrs. Maria, Lui, Mrs. Akahi, Luna, Miss Kalua, Mrs. Kaulahao, Kanaauao, Kamaka, Kauaki, Meekue, and Hailama Kaumialii. As for James Keau, he is well off, living in the islands of Tonga, and is far from the authority of this expulsion order by King Malietoa.

Eight Ohana will Head First to the Homestead Lands at Molokai

The Hawaiian Homes Commission Chose those People who were Thought to be Appropriate for Going First to the Lands of Kalamaula, Molokai

Amongst the applicants that reached seventy in number, to go back to the homestead lands of Molokai, the Commissioner of Hawaiian Homes chose  last week Wednesday, eight families as the first to go to live on the homestead lands of Kalamaula Kai, and the rest, they will go later, however, only between twenty and twenty-four families total will live at Kalamaula.

In the selection of the commission of those eight families, it was done with them choosing full-blooded Hawaiians, hapa Haole, and hapa Chinese. At the same time, considered were their ages and the children in their families.

The first eight Hawaiians and their families which were selected by the commission to go to the aina hoopulapula at Kalamaula Kai are here named below:

David K. Kamai, a full-blooded Hawaiian who is 41 years old, his occupation is a contractor and a carpenter. He has a wife and they have 11 children, 6 boys and 5 girls. He is a land owner and he has knowledge of taro cultivation, sweet potato, corn, cabbage, alfalfa grass and melons. He is prepared to go at once and live on the land when his application is approved.

Clarence K. Kinney [Clarence W. Kinney], of Honolulu nei, is a hapa Haole, and is 42 years old. His occupation is an ukulele maker and a maker of umeke. He is married, and they have 7 children, 3 boys and 4 girls. He is a land owner. He was born on farm lands, with knowledge of dry land taro cultivation, sweet potato planting, corn, melon and other crops. He is ready to go to the aina hoopulapula in thirty days after his application is approved.

Albert Kahinu, Kaunakakai, Molokai. He is a hapa Hawaii that is 28 years old. He is employed by the Hawaiian Homes Commission on Molokai as a water pump engineer. He is married and they have one son. He knows how to raise chicken and pig, and how to plant sweet potato, banana, melon, and other crops. His wife is also knowledgeable in that kind of work. He does not own property, but is prepared to go at once to live on the homestead lands.

W. A. Aki, Honolulu, is a Hapa Chinese, and is 28 years old; he is an overseer of laborers. He is married and they have two children, a son and daughter. He is knowledgeable about planting crops to assist his family. His wife has been a school teacher for eight years at the Girls’ Correctional School at Kamoiliili. They are ready to go live on the aina hoopulapula.

John Puaa, Kaunakakai, Molokai, is a full-blooded Hawaiian, and is 52 years old; he is employed by the commission at Molokai. He is married, and they have 10 children, 5 boys and 5 girls. He has lived with his wife on a ranch for 25 years, and the two are knowledgeable at various work. They are prepared to go live on homestead lands without delay.

Harry Apo, Lahaina, Maui, is a hapa Chinese, and he works as a letter carrier. He is married, and they have 6 children, 4 girls and 2 boys. He lived at Lahainaluna School for two years, and four years at Kamehameha School, learning farming at Kamehameha. He is ready to move to the aina hoopulapula in July or August perhaps.

George W. Maioho, Kihei, is a hapa Chinese, and is 40 years old. He is married, and they have four children, 2 girls and 2 boys. He is capable of all sorts of work, from planting crops to raising livestock. He will go at once after his application is approved to live on the aina hoopulapula with his family.

William Kamakaua, Kawela, Molokai, is a full-blooded Hawaiian, and is 38 years old; he is employed by the commission on Molokai. He is married with 10 children, 5 sons and 5 daughters. He worked along with his wife on Molokai Ranch for 17 years. He is prepared to live on the homestead lands.

Of these eight families, only three will go first, because only three of the lots have been so far cleared by the commission to be farmed at once, and thereafter, other families will go when their lots are ready.

[There was a nice article in this month’s Ka Wai Ola, on page 5, about a remembrance of the first settlers of the Hawaiian Homes lands at Kalamaula. Here are more families that were chosen, listed in the Kuokoa on 8/17/1922.

Here is perhaps a more detailed article on the eight found in the Kuokoa on 7/6/1922, p. 2.]

LET US BE OF ONE SHOULDER,¹ LET US BE OF UNIFIED THOUGHT.

At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the “Ahahui Hawaii Aloha Aina” [Hawaiian Patriotic League] at noon, 12 o’clock, at the attorney’s office of President Kaulia, the said Executive Committee decided that the Patriotic League will join and support the great rally of the makaainana of the lahui to absolutely protest the annexation of Hawaii to America, and it is announced to all of the members of the Hawaiian Patriotic League, from the men, to the women, to the children, to assemble at the Palace Square [Kuea Pa Alii] tomorrow evening (Friday) at exactly 7 o’clock, and there will be presented with insistence and unity, the resolution informing the President of the Senate and the people of the United States, that the native Hawaiians and the long-time makaainana protest the annexation of Hawaii to the United States of America.

Let us combine our prayers to overcome Hakalau. [E alu ka pule ia Hakalau.]²

²According to Mary Kawena Pukui’s Olelo Noeau (115): “A sorcerer at Hakalau once created havoc in his own and other neighborhoods. Many attempts to counter-pray him failed until a visiting kahuna suggested that all of the others band together to concentrate on the common enemy. This time they succeeded.”

 Here is another reference available online. This publication was put out by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), reporting home to America on their work throughout the world. Of particular interest to us is what they say about Hawaii. Here for instance is an article appearing in the year of the overthrow, 1893.

The position taken by the United States Secretary of State in regard to affairs at the Hawaiian Islands is simply astounding. That he should suggest that the United States interpose for the restoration of the late Hawaiian Queen seems almost incredible. Even were it admitted, as it is not, that our representatives at Hawaii afforded unwarrantable aid to the revolutionary party, it is a strange suggestion that, after this lapse of time, our government should reseat upon the throne one who had forfeited all her rights to it, and whose influence was only detrimental to the interests of the islands. The so-called royal house of Hawaii has been its curse for years. Queen Liliuokalani had yielded to the corrupting influences which every decent man had recognized as becoming more and more potent in political affairs at the islands, and by influences which she knew how to exert on the worst classes, she secured the passage of the bill giving a home on Hawaii to the infamous Louisiana Lottery which had been driven out of the United States. Restrictions upon the opium traffic, so necessary for the welfare of Hawaiians, were removed. A faithful cabinet was displaced and men of no character were placed in power. But the final act, which was practical…

(Missionary Herald, 12/1893, p. 510.)

 

The position taken...

The Missionary Herald, Volume LXXXIX, Number XII, Page 510. December 1893.

…suicide of the monarchy, was the attempt on her part to abrogate the Constitution and by sheer force establish a new one of her own making. Even her subservient ministers refused to endorse the scheme, yet she insisted upon it and sought to incite the populace to stand by her in her autocratic plans. It was then that all the better classes united as one man and deposed her. Never was there a revolution more warranted by facts, never was one more peacefully accomplished, and a queen of worthless character was set aside and the monarchy by its own act came to an end. If Minister Stevens or the commander of the Boston erred in judgment in any transaction, which we are not prepared to admit, yet there is no valid ground for the interference of our government to reverse the revolution months after it was consummated. We do not speak here of the political question as to what it is expedient for the United States to do in reference to a protectorate or to annexation. Opinions of these points may differ, but it would seem as if there were no room for difference of opinion in regard to this question of reestablishing the old monarchy on Hawaii. The best portion of her citizens have asked for some form of connection with the United States. Our government has a perfect right to say yes or no to all these proposals. And the Provisional Government at Honolulu has a right to say to us, “Either accept our proposal or hands off.” We regret to be obliged to speak in such terms of propositions that come from our national administration. We certainly should not do so did we not believe that any attempt to restore the Hawaiian Queen to her throne would be a gross outrage, and would be followed by the most serious consequences to the moral and religious interests of the islands, as well as to their material prosperity. We cannot think that our people will tolerate any intervention which has for its object the replacing upon the throne of a sovereign whose influence will be only for evil.
