SMALL COUNTRIES.

 

            It seems that small countries are always particularly turbulent.   To pass over historical examples we have to only observe the political condition of the Central and South American republics.   History has no record of worse government or more unhappy results than we see there.   Military despots and dictators reign under the name of presidents.   Terrorism and corruption are tempered only by assassination and revolution.   Life and property are insecure and poverty squalor and apathy reign.

            A free press is unknown; ignorance aids superstition in degrading the people to a state of helpless animalism.

            These states and unhappy position and prospects should be a warning to Hawai`i.   In order to have a just and stable government there must be a power in the state to enforce the laws and the decrees of justice.   This power usually presents itself in the form of police and soldiers.   A show of force is made that compels all to respect the government. 

            In small countries a single agitator or intriguer may frequently secure such a following s to seriously threaten the peace of the community.   A combination of families may control the whole country.  A handful of disappointed office seekers may raise a revolution.   There can never be a stable and respectable government where handful of mal-contents can produce a perceptible influence on the affairs of the country.

            In large communities and states small parties with their individual and personal motives cannot effect the peace or quiet of the country because they are insignificant in comparison to the mass of the population.   Any industrious agitator may get a following of two or three hundred persons.   In a large country they would amount to nothing; in a small one they would form a disturbing element that could be ignored.

            The small countries exist at the present time mostly on account of the jealousies of the great powers, which will not allow each other to take what other covets.   We are situated at the angle of a tri-partite treaty that is supposed to guarantee our independence.   A government is permitted to exist, but it is largely controlled by the intrigues centering around the foreign representatives who do not hesitate to interfere with the affairs of the country.  We exist on sufferance until the powers agree to dispose of us.   If European or a general war should break up the status we would be at the mercy of any power that could send a gun-boat.  If England and the United States were to drop us, some second rate country might captures us.   The Japanese might say that their subjects were the most numerous element of the inhabitants and step I and “establish order” to protect their interests.

            Our independence is more nominal than real and the guarantees for its continuance are insignificant.  We have the name of independence as we have the name of peace, law justice liberty.   But we must not be lulled to sleep by sweet sounding names but look out for the realities.

            People were carried away by the word “Reform,” but in reality it was and has proved to be something very different.   Independence is a good word and it has been long used for political capital, but it is time to inquire into the facts of the case.   Do we have any real independence? Can we ever hope to attain or retain a respectable position as an independent nation? Is there any security or permanency in the present state? When have the powers of the world ever kept their promises or agreements with weak people longer than they found it convenient?  Nations are utterly unscrupulous and untrammeled by laws.

            We have preached many a sermon about the corrupt and unsatisfactory state of our politics.  Any one came rail.  But we must week a remedy now.  Damning the opposite party and trying to get in and put the fellows out has been tried long enough to show that it will not save the country.   We must seek new remedies remodel our affairs to suit the times and where necessary make radical changes to meet the popular ideas of government. 

 

Correspondence.

            We are not in any sense responsible for the statements or views of correspondents.

 

            Editor Ka Leo.  A professed Christian prohibitionist will say, to Hades, with everything with the shape of alcoholic drinks.  The Lord says: “Give strong drinks unto those that are ready to perish.”  Again Mr Prohibit says: “Wine and other alcoholic beverages is only fit for the devil, and his works.”  The Lord says:  “Give wine unto those that be of heavy heart, let them drink and think of their sorrows no more.”   The prohibitionist says, destroy everything in the shape of wine throughout the universe.   The Lord encouraged the use of wine by turning water into wine.   Now then my brave professed Christian prohibitionist, hoist you colors in the main, and step out before the world and say at once, that the Lord is wrong and we are right.   A professed Christian prohibitionist appears to one outside of the pale of the church, as the quint-tessence of inconsistency and hypocracy.   The true Christian practices charity and good will to man, day after day during all time.   They hypocrite who is in the great majority makes a pretence of charity, etc., during church time, while under the eyes of the congregation; which is the worse strain, that he has to content with during the week.   The hypocrite in his heart dislikes the Sabbath; worldly affairs and the dollar in his life, and God. 

            ERIN GO BRAUGH.

 

            In reading the leader in the Advertiser of June 10.   I was forcibly reminded of those dear old times say from 1887 up to the last election.  During that time the Advertiser felt itself both lusty and saucy.   If the reader will take the trouble to hunt up the Advertiser, or Gazette from 1887 to last general election, he will there find bounce, and abuse of his fellowman, enough to sink a four thousand ton clipper, or swamp a fashionable church.   Those were lovely times, for the Advertiser innocents.

            MECHANIC.

 

ON DIT.

            That a good many people imagine that they love law and order, when they do not.   It is a fact that a great many of our good people, who labor under a delusion that they are lovers of peace and good will to all mankind are perfectly indifferent as to whether the laws are justly enforced or not as long as they are themselves not affected by their violation.   Laws appear to be enforced in this country principally from selfish motives and not from a love of justice.

 

            That the Bulletin says people are scouring up their tomb stones in anticipation of the resurrection.

 

            That Minister Spencer is using his judgment with deadly effect in public affairs.

 

            That the Hawaiian dudes are all detectives in the secret service; a good many devote their attention exclusively to the shadowing of ladies to have something valuable concealed beneath their skirts,

 

            That KA LEO’s note about an attorney at law being in the detective business for future glory, was a stone that killed more than one bird.

 

            That the politician’s plan to succeed is explained in this way: Make yourself useful; if they want to use your for a door-mat, let them do it.

 

            That the Bulletin and some other people say KA LEO is getting into shape to sell out during the coming campaign. We are already selling out a pretty large edition daily at double the price the Bulletins brings.  We will come high about election time.

 

            That a suit for $5000 damage each has entered in the Supreme Court by L.A. Thurston and by F.W. Wundenberg against John E. Bush, for alleged damaged to the character of the above gentlemen.   These suit are to take places at the same date as the coming jury term in July with the criminal libel suits by the government by the same parties. 

 

            That the Sanhedrim has passed judgement that a sacrifice must be made for the good of the political synagogile.
