KA LEO O KA LAHUI.

"E Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono."

 

The First Blunder.

 

            The LEO recently published a few suggestions on the Privy Council of State, which brought to us the approbation of men we fully respect. It then even seemed that the government was going to take our views into some consideration, for our article was followed by the appointment of four new councillors, three of whom could be fully approved of, while one was distasteful to the Hawaiian public, who distrust the advice that will emanate from him, if judged by what he is already known to have given to the Queen in the past.  But we expected something more, for the reason, that the simple addition of a few new names, could not be enough to give the kingdom a fair Privy Council; replastering and tinkering never can galvanize a mummy.  What was necessary was a complete reorganization of that body.  But now, the Cabinet has thrown out its dice and has come out making the first blunder of any considerable importance, thereby obtaining from the Bulletin, the undesirable appellation of “conservative.”

            Acting, presumbly, under ministerial advice and consent, the Queen, the day before yesterday, confirmed and reappointed the whole of the Privy Councillors, with the exception of two or three unfortunates, who are not half as bad as many of those retained.  The Queen does have the right of appointing those whom she pleases as her advisors; yet she cannot be blamed so long as she has her ministers to consult with and advice her. And in whom she has confidence, until after they have proven themselves unworthy of the trust, when she should discontinue them from office.  But the Queen as well as her Cabinet will find out someday, perhaps sooner than we expect, what a gross mistake they have committed in not following the suggestion of the LEO.  It may be that, being blinded by the good fortune which befell them.  Through the late king’s death, they were satisfied to let matters run as they were. Or it may be that they did not fully realize the extent of the reform which was expected of them. Whichever way it was, we regret that a fitting opportunity was allowed to go by for making a complete and wholesome reorganization of the old Privy Council. And we here repeat it, that nothing short of a thorough reconstruction could have been satisfactory to the people and to the Queen, and have insured a body of sound advisers to the Government. However, our Nestors of State will yet discover, when too late, the error of allowing an incongraous body, as advisory in matters of public policy, even with an infusion of new blood, will only prove a broken read for them to lean upon; and the Queen will know who to thank, when she finds the body useless to rely upon.  When the day of trouble will have arrived, the day when she may need sagacious and vigorous advice.

 

 

MAUI NOTES

 

            From a private correspondent, we are in receipt of very amusing information about the discomfiture of the reformers.  When the news of the change of Cabinet reached Maui, the telephone was busy with the interchange of condolences, the vent of wounded feeling and the expression of deepest disgust.  One sugar magnate, on the line to Haiku, was heard to obstinately deny the possibility of such a fact; and when the matter was shown to be beyond a doubt, he exclaimed: “Too bad!  Too bad!”  We are now ruined.  Poor Brown will no longer be able to hatch our schemes, and the Country will go to the dogs”! A stronger term than “dogs” was used, but as the saintly reformers do not swear, it might have been a mistake of the instrument.  Another sugar magnate, in an opposite direction (we have the name in full) was highly indignant that such an “obscurity” as Whiting should be Attorney-General:  “It was simply an outrage on the country, specially because Whiting, formerly a staunch reformer, was supposed to have become rather lukewarm of late!”  But an incomplete noble answered that the thing was “not quite so bad as that, as Whiting was a connection of P. C. Jones!”  This last remark changed the sentiments of the telephonists.  And poor Whiting was admitted from the connection to be not quite as rotten as his colleagues, Widemann, who was a moss grown old shell back; Parker, a traitor: and Spencer was contemptible because he took office with the others.  After having solemnly promised his former colleagues that he would die first before joining any other combination, or go out with them!  But promises are so easy with poor Spencer, and his memory so treacherous of late!!

            The same correspondent states that the people (“the mob”) of Maui, were highly delighted at the change, and that they hold great expectations in regard to the future action of the new Cabinet.  But should they follow the track of their predecessors, the aloha will fade away like a passing cloud, and odious epithets heard in its stead, and then Thurston will have full sway on Maui.  This will especially be the case if no changes are made then, and if such men as Treadway and Mossman, who are execrated by the people, are retained in office as Wunderberg has been in Honolulu.  In that case, as W. O. Smith said a few days ago, while on Maui on a visit, “The present Cabinet will be shortlived.”

 

 

OUT AGAIN

 

            The illustrious Hebrew gentleman, to whom was so carelessly entrusted the national honor of the Hawaiian Kingdom in London, under the modest title of “Charge d’Affaires” is again before the world, like an ass and unlike a displomat.  A few years ago Mr. A. Hoffnung made a very sorry exhibition of himself and of our little Kingdom.  In Sydney, nothing daunted or corrected by the ridicule he then gathered on his foolish pate.  He now speaks to the Chicago reporters of our politics, as he knows them, and as no one else knows them, who does know our affairs.  The information which he gives, would make even such a quadruped as an ass smile.  When he says, “that the Queen never asked for the resignation of the late Cabinet; that she appointed Wilcox, as her Chamberlain; that our planters cannot have any more Japanese or Chinese, and that they are going to import Indian Coolies, etc.”  No doubt Mr. Hoffnung would like to be asked to import coolies, so that he could repeat the profits of the Portuguese immigration.  But we do hope that, as a representative of this government, he will be requested by our Foreign Affairs Minister, if not to resign at least to govern that willful member of his person, and not allow it to say such foolishness as he has been guilty of lately.
