Ceremony in Respect to the Ahuula is Carried Out in the Crown Room of the Palace Last Monday
In the morning of last Monday, the throne room of the palace was filled with visitors to see the ahuula of Kamehameha III gifted to Commodore James Lawrence Kernny, and now becoming a treasure for Hawaii nei, through the generosity of Walter Dillingham, the one who purchased the ahuula.
The ahuula arrived aboard the steamer Malolo which arrived in town, and was entrusted to the safekeeping of the national archives, and on that Monday was returned to the throne room with ceremony befitting the ahuula, along with the singing of patriotic songs of Hawaii nei, as well as the hearing by the crowd of speeches given by A. P. Taylor of the national arvhives, Governor W. R. Farrington, and Walter Dillingham.
The ahuula was returned and draped upon the throne, and to the right was the Princess Kalanianaole, while the throne room was filled with members of the Mamakakaua Association and heads of businesses and the multitudes there in that room.
The Story of the Ahuula
After hearing some songs for Kamehameha III, composed by some Hawaiian ladies, the crowd entered while singing the anthem of Hawaii. And Mr. A. P. Taylor explained the history of the ahuula.
According to him, this was an ahuula gifted to Commodore James Lawrence Kearny of the warship Constellation, by Kamehameha III, in the year 1843. He was the one who saved Hawaii from the subjugation by George Paulet.
The ahuula was inherited by the child of Commodore Kearny, and from there to his cousin, James Lawrence Boggs of New Jersey.
After the explanation of its story, the ahuula was presented before the governor for the makaainana of Hawaii nei, whereupon the governor spoke a bit, while giving his thanks and appreciation for it being returned here to be cared for in Hawaii nei.
Given to the Museum
The honor was given to Walter Dillingham for his return of the ahuula for stewardship by the museum up above Kamehameha, and he gave a short speech and placed the ahuula under the care of A. F. Judd, one of the members of the board of the Trust of Pauahi Bishop. After his speech, Mrs. Mary Kekinookalani Padeken presented a chant composed by her, “Aalii Ku Makani.”

The Association, The Daughters of Hawaii which just met in Honolulu decided to build a Monument to Kamehameha III, the kindhearted Alii, where he was born in Keauhou, and Miss Ana Paris will be sent there to to survey the site and to report to the Association.
The idea of this Association is to inscribe some words upon a rock that is located where the chief was born, after one side of the rock was shaved nicely away, and knowing that the rock was solid and would not wear away in the future. And if this is not possible, then they will put up a marble monument at this place with proper words telling of the birth of the alii and some other fitting things about him.

Kinau just gave birth, on Sunday, Feb. 9th, to a son. Kauikeaouli named him Liholiho for his older brother who died in lands afar, and took this child as his own. The child is living with the King.
[This Liholiho, child of Kinau, is Kamehameha IV.]

As time goes on, the Hawaiian People move backwards.
Why is this?
First. Because they are not united. Because of the lack of aloha for their own. Because they do not support each other. Because they do not help one another.
Second. Because of greed. Because of wastefulness. Because of the love of alcohol. Because of not being thrifty. For their not thinking of and neglecting God.
It is clear that the Hawaiian people are shoved up against a wall; as the malihini white-skinned people come in droves to this land, so are the Hawaiians People pushed against a wall, they are new, but already they have settled themselves in; there are only but a few years left, you can count them on your fingers; the Hawaiians will have no Power in Government of their beloved land which God bestowed upon them.
Therefore, now is the time to stand firm, to think, and to come together, to give aloha to your own people, to be courageous, to economize, to be vigilant, to help each other, to go down on bended knee and ask God to free us from that whirlpool of naught, and to bring us to state of plenty.
Just as King Kauikeaouli proclaimed to the Hawaiian Nation, about kneeling down on bended knee and praising the Glorious Name of the Lord of hosts, to restore the Sovereignty of the Land (the Flag), that was stripped away by George Paulette, and what came about was that the flag was returned without ever being troubled again by Great Britain; so too with this.
For there is no time left to dally; we’ve lost our independence, we have no Power for Governmental Reform, as a result of our neglect, waste, and so forth; and our beloved Mother Tongue will be lost for all times. Hawaiians are being selected for positions under the Government.
Therefore, if you possess some aloha, some affection, some sentiment for the lifestyle of our People, now is the time; let us join in thought, in cooperation, like one great rope made of many strands, until we are able to pull massive things, like huge islands; that is what we need to do in these ongoing times.
ALOHA LAHUI [Love for the People].

On that day, the soldiers of Honolulu drilled about Kulaokahua, both Hawaiian and haole soliders, hundreds of them. The King and Queen went and inspected the troops; many of the officers from the British, American, and French warships came. They admired the drilling.
On the night, the Hawaiian alii and the haole ones, as well as all of the prestigious people came to the Palace to see the King and the alii.
On the 28th of Nov., the nations of Britain and France acknowledged the independence of this Hawaiian Nation, and that is the reason for the celebration on this day.
