CHRISTMAS DAY.

 

   “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of His government and peace ‘there shall be’ no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.  The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

   “To us, this day, from even until @@@@, seems to be the greatest holiday, that ever it was the privilege of man to commemorate.  It reminds us of a Saviour born in fulfillment of the first promise ever made to man and his erring companion, woman, after the fall.  All through the record of inspiration, we find the promises of a Redeemer from a Merciful Creator, and the fulfillment of that promise, when God was made manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

   How little does the multitude of professing Christians of to-day, while boasting of the rich inheritance which they claim to possess as Christians, realize the magnitude of God’s love, when in giving his only begotten son, he gave all Heaven in the one gift, as a propitiation for the sins of man.  “I and my Father are one,” lessed assurance, testifies to the fulfillment of the manifestation of God in the flesh, and should convince us as professing Christians, who enjoy the blessed privilege to-day of observing the birthday that gave to the world the Promised Seed, through whom all nations, upon conditions of faith and obedience, shall be blessed.

   The early Christians, beginning with the progenitors of the race, looked forward in faith and obedience, that the day would come, when the Redeemer would be given them by the same Creative Power that made the first Adam out of inanimate clay.  We read how by birth Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice, in the symbol of the sacrificial lamb representing Him, whose shed blood shall wash away the sins of the world.

   In order to show our veneration for God the Creator, whose bounteous love made this day possible to the human race, let us as Christians indeed, remember Christ, the messenger of “peace and good will to all men” and by deeds of mercy and charity show how much we appreciate the love of God as manifested in Him, who gave all to do good to those even who hate and persecute him and revile his teachings.

   We fear the majority keep this day more in the spirit of Anti-Christ than in that of the meek and lowly Nazarene.  We should in the exuberance of our joy bury the hatchet of ill will, and take for our example the life of the ONE whom to-day, we are professing with lip service to commemorate his birth.  Let us then emluate the spirit of the Divine Teacher, whose unselfish life should be a lesson to every man that professes his name and let every act of our life be a commemoration of the day that first gave to the World a Redeemer.

   In the spirit of Christian Charity we extend our cordial greetings to all, more especially to those who do not love us for endeavoring to show up their wickedness and hypocrisy, as did the Master, whom we all profess to honor to-day.  May the Day, with its hallowed associations, be a profitable one to all.

 

INTERNATIONAL LIBERAL LEAGUE

   A meeting of the above association was held at Robinson Hall on Tuesday evening, of the 22 ^nd inst. Mr. E. W. F. Wolters, Vice-President, in the chair.

   Mr. Huntsman the first speaker, said that as @@@ stand charged with causing a @@@@ in the workingmen’s party, he would move a revolution that the secretary be instructed to communicate on behalf of this organizator with the Executive Commitee of the Mechanics Union offering to confer with that body on the political issue of the day, and concerning nominations for Nobles and Representatatives.  He was quite assured that there was no ill feeling between these two kindred organizations; that there is some personal differences between certain members, there is no denying; three or four sore heads should not be allowed to lead people by the hundred.  The tail must not way the dog.  Even if nothing comes out of such proposed conference, let us show our friends in the Mechanics Union, that we are working in a pure spirit of democracy, having in view the divine principle of “Equal Right.”

   Mr. G. Cavenagh said, it is not necessary to change our name.  A combined workingmen’s ticket was their objective point.  Why not sink all personal differences and as a matter of policy put out a strong ticket.

   Hon. J. E. Bush, here entered the hall and was loudly applauded, in response to a general call, Mr. Bush took the floor and gave his views on the situation in quite a lengthy and eloquent address, and wound up by warning the League not to sacrifice or give way a single point.  Your platform is accepted by a large native following; but if you wave they will lose confidence in your grit.  Hold on to what you got.  Would very much like to be with our friends in the Mechanics Union, and they are welcome to the best we got.  While ackowledging that the interests of all mechanics and laborers are identical, putting your power into solid shape is the next thing.  The prevailing sentiment amongst the boses is to cut wages down and to supplant you with Chinese and Japanese (the speaker here cited may oppressive cases).  When Minister of Interior he was very blamed by some righteous citizens for paying laboring men $2 per day (great applause).  If a man is not worth $2 per day he is worth nothing.  Our present ministry is the weakest in many years, they are being made tools of to barter away the independence of this country.  If any change is to take place let us have wholesale annexation not of the bastard sort that will only benefit 50 or 60 people and make the rest all slaves.  We will have no such thing, and for my part I wish to see the autonomy of the country preserved one with, not so with some of the foreigners here they are on the sell out, they want to sell the islands, with us as so many head of cattle running on the pasture (thrown into the bargain) manuwahi.

 

Supreme Justice McCully Says the United States Will One Day Assume Control.

   CHICAGO. NOV. 24.—In an intervidw today Hon. Lawrence McCully, supreme justice of the supreme court of Hawaii, said:  “When the present government of Hawaii collapses, the United States, not England or any power, will assume control.  That is practically settled in the Hawaiian foreign office.  I say a collapse is a certainty, because the Hawaiian race is a weakening one.  From a strength of hundreds of thousands, it has dwindled down to 34,000, and is fast growing less.  Foreigners predominate, Americans especially, and while all are intensly pleased with the native rule, there will come a time when that rule will no longer lie with the dark skinned friends of the United States.  The future of Hawaii as conceded by the best minds there, is that she is to be the cross-road the Gibratar of the great Pacific.  Upon the completion of either the Nicaraguan or Panama canal, Hawaii being the only land north of the equator in the direct center of all the crossing lines of commerce, she must be in charge of a nation with strength enough to protect the commerce. That nation is the United States,

 

ON DIT.

   That the P. C. Advertiser representatives were notably absent from public meetings, and on the street last Tuesday evening; that it was due to the indiscriminate and too pointed anatomical allusions which the editor has been displaying in his analysis of the peculiar idyosyncracies of human nature in some of natures noble creatures.

 

   That the followers who nominated “H. G. C.” for noble, long ago found out he was ignorable,--a covenant breaker.

 

   That Bush-Wilcox are blamed for the Waikiki Bridge job, while somebody else of course gets the Boodle.  That it was they who put Tommy in the Legislature, Lucas’ man, and they are to blame for not knowing any better.

 

   That the Workingmen’s Political Association are exposing their hand while the select 500 are on a still hunt.

 

   That many poor people here miss Kalukaua and P. C. Jones on this annual day of rejoicing.  That it is only after we lose our friends, that we appreciate their kindness.

 

   That the Queen gave a hundred dollars to the preacher of the Kamakapili Church, as the best medium to hear of it afterwards.

 

   That Wilson’s guard can see a poor wahine at the blue gate, but are afraid to see any wrong in the Chinese sinks and hell holes in China town for fear of spoiling the Boodle, and loosing their pay.

 

   That a second hand invitation was extended by the Union to the Hui Kalaiaina to form a co-partnership.  Even then the corporation would only be a baker’s dozen.

 

   That Mr. J. L. Kaulukou calls a mass meeting to denouce the Reform Party and the Ministry for free trade cession of Puuloa, and for thinking of annexation or a republic.  The man, we think is gone daft.

 

   That John A. Cummins is the boss for the Reform Party, and that gentleman claims he has the latter under his supervision.  That this must be the joker behind the fence.

 

   That John L. Kaulukou announces himself a candidate for Representative for the district of Koolaupoko, under the patronage of the sugar grandee of Waimanalo.

 

   That Dr. Carpenter an eminent English physician and scientist, says, that “a well-selected vegetable diet is capable of producing the highest physical development.”  Pugilist when in training are forbidden meat, stimulants, and are placed by their trainers, under the most rigid temperate course of hygiene, to attain the great physical development. Tthat a man “tug” tow ell, must do likewise.

   That the moral lesson taught in the words “let not thy left hand know what thy right giveth” is as green and profitable to-day as when first announced.

 

   That Boddle Castle may be confiscated, in the same manner as the Tweed property was served in New York, and Chris. Buckley may have boon companions from the Paradise of the Pacific, to rusticate mid the perennial snows of the Canadians Dominion.

 

   That the Christian charity that will “bury the hatchet” half way ready to unbury it and tomahawk his brother christian, has been taught in Hawaii for over seventy years, and is the only charity that with rare exceptions, the progenitors of our early teachers, are willing to extend  to their “deadly foe” the KA LEO, on the even and in commemoration of the birthday of the Saviour, whose divine precepts were, that true charity was to bless them that revile you and pray for them that hate you.  How different is the spirit of anti-Christ as embodied in the greeting of the P. C. Advertiser editor to KA LEO, its “deadly foe” – whose half buried tomahawk is ready to be used to clip the foe’s ears, as did Peter with that of the Priest’s servant’s ear, -- to that of humble Father Climent’s in his simply and more loving way, when he unburdens his love to his fellow man in his Christmas greeting in the same issue of the P.G.A.

 

   That the spirit of Christian charity shows itself with Henry, the scion of a Queen Street goods peddler and bible preacher, in refusing charity to an evergreen merchant and directing him to go to the Office of KA LEO and its friends.  This is the spirit of “good will” which most of the pretended followers of Christ in Owyhee to-day show on the eye of Christmas. Ah Willie the mortgager would do well to forgive the poor mortgagees he has tied up in a bundle in his office, and the old Queen Street miser imitate the widow and her mite in stead of blarting his charities to the four corners of the earth.

 

Platform of Principle

OF THE

HAWAIIAN NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY

   It should be the further aim of government to, at once, so far improve the means of transportation,--local, national and international,--as to provide, in all the districts, cheap means of conveying the product of the soil to market.

 

ELECTORAL RIGHT.

  11.  We hold that upright and honest manhood, and not the possession of wealth, arbitrarily fixed, should consti- the right to vote for nobles as well as representatives, and no more power should be accorded to the ballot of the rich man than to the ballot of the poor man.  The discrimination in favor of wealth now made in our Constitution is contrary to all the eternal principles of right and justice, and must be abolished.  To this end, we will favor a leveling of the present distinction of wealth and classes which blemish our laws with respect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby restoring to the native Hawaiians privileges which pertain to them in their own country, and of which they have been unjustly deprived.

 

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

   12  We favor the expenditure of sufficient sums to secure a number of needed public improvements on Oahu and other Islands; school, railroads and harbors and wharves, public light, and also a thorough system of reservoirs and water-works, not only for Honolulu, but through-out the other Islands.
