Aka, pehea la o Joseph M. Poepoe? Heaha kana mea i hana ai? Heaha kona hopena?
Na Joseph Nawahi e hoike aku me ka wiwo ole imua o ka Lahui Hawaii i kona ano, kana mea i hana ai a me kona hopena maoli.
He kipi o J. M. Poepoe i ke Aupuni Moi, ike au o ka Moi Kalakaua e noho ana ma ka la 30 o Iulai A. D. 1889. Ua hopuia oia e ke Aupuni no ke kipi, a ua hookolokoloia no ka hewea kipi, a ua ae maoli o J. M. Poepoe he kipi oia imua o ka Aha Hookolokolo, a ua hoopaiia he $400. A ina aole e hookaaia ia uku hoopai, alaila, e hoopaahaoia oia ma ka hana oolea a kaa ia hoopai.
O ka uku hoopai no ke kipi, he make no ia; aka, mamuli o kona ae maoli ana i kona hewa a mamuli hoi o kona hoike maoli ana ae i kakahi mau hoike e kokua ai no ka hoomaloeloe ana i ka aoao o ke Aupuni, oia ka mea i hookahuliia ae ai o kona hoopai, ma @ kulana oluolu loa he uku dala. A ua noho hooikaika hana aku oia malalo o kekahi poe, no ka hookaa ana ia mau dala $400!
Aia ka moolelo no kana mau hana hooulu kipi i hana ai i ka 1889; kona hopuia ana, kona hookolokoloia ana, kona ae maoli ana ua hewa oia no ke kipi a me kona hoopaiia ana i na dala he eha-haneri, ke paa nei iloko o ka buke moolelo o ka Aha Hookolokolo o Honolulu nei, o ka A. D. 1889.
Pehea la e pee nei o J. M. Poepoe me kona hana i ka hewa kipi, alaila, e kuhikuhi mai oia o J. Nawahi ke kipi, ka mea aole loa he wahi moomai ana he kipi oia. Ua poina paha iaia kona moolelo, i ka wa ana e kakau ana i na manao pane mai ia J. Nawahi, ka Lunahoopuka o Ke Aloha Aina?
Mai manao kuhihewa oia, ua poina ia Nawahi na moolelo o na hana ano nui, i hoouluia e ke au o ka manawa. He Buke nui ia a J. Nawahi e heluhelu nei i na la a pau, iloko o kona mau hoomanae poina ole ana; mau hoomanae poina ole ana; a i ka wa e hoea mai ai o kekahi pane nona, ua hiki koke i kona hoomanao ana, ke hoike koke aku i ka mea a kela a me keia kanaka i hana ai, oiai oia e ola ana, me ka hikiwawe loa.
