A WONDERFUL WEEK.
that of January, from the 1 Ith
period of strange, startling, impressive experiences. No like
period, so important, so exciting, so
charged with momentous events, has
existed since foreigners resided in Honolulu. It was a history making epoch,
witnessing the unheralded and shameful collapse of the once noble and proud
Hawaiian monarchy, and initiating, as
we believe, a glorious new era of freedom and honor for Hawaii. Startling
events leaped forth in rapid and unforeseen succession, each eclipsing the one
before it. They came in a wonderfully
dramatic way. First, in the midst of
political calm and hopefulness, there
struck us like a cyclone the shame and
consternation of the passage of the Lot
cry Bill. There followed the shock of
the overthrow of our trusted and hon
ored Cabinet, quickly replaced by one
formed from the opium and lottery gang
at the palace. Next, the Lottery Hill
became law in defiance of bitterest pro
tests, just as the protecting lios'.on
steamed in with the much wanted American Minister. The stately ceremony
of prorogation followed, deserted by resentful citizens,
It
was
to the 19th; a
day of ardent, hopeful prayers, and of
prudent, yet daring, counsels. Monday
came, with the Queen's terrified and abject retraction, followed by the mighty
but orderly mass meeting of 1300 resolute citizens, who briefly and sternly
spoke their endorsement of the Committee of Safety. Then all unexpected,
near nightfall, came the sudden rush of
the Boston's launches with her 150 men,
and their rapid march to their stations,
quelling our households' disquiet and
fear of night disorders, and suggesting
America's friendly care.
Next opened the fateful Tuesdayanxious day of unknown perils and prob
able battle—when Royalty ceased to
be; when rifle companies sprang as from
the ground; when our Provisional Government of trusted leaders, moved suddenly to the (iovernment House unat
tended and in great peril, and there established themselves, and seized the
reins; when expected bloodshed came
not, and our patriotic sons and brothers
remained unhurt; and when the Palace
and the Station House were tamely surrendered. On Wednesday came the
surrender of the heavily garrisoned Barracks: the recognition of the new Government by all the Foreign Ministers
and Consuls; the announcement of the
next morning's departure of the Claudine

and everybody's hurried preparation of
mails. The last dramatic scene was the
sailing of the Claudine on Thursday,
with the gallant five followed by prayers
and tears and ardent hopes, and beyond
doubt, by the bitter curses of kahunas
and lottery pirates.
That was the longest week we ever
knew. There was a strange illusion as
to lapse of time. One great excitement
superseded another daily, each crowding
and burdening the mind like a week of
lesser events. The event of two days
ago seemed to belong to a distant past.
Our trusted P. C. Jones had a vacation
of just four days from the Finance Office;
it was hard to convince oneself it was
not a month. Many persons experienced
this peculiar illusion.
It has been a grand thing to pass
through all this exciting and exalting
experience. It is a peculiar honor to
aid in recording these glorious eventsOur noble citizens of American and
European blood have once more paid
homage and devotion to the lofty cause
of Liberty and Progress. And our gra.
cious God has once more, with a peculiar care and protection, blessed and
smiled upon this young and favored
nation of Hawaii,
Native Sentiment.
It is doubtless premature to forecast
confidently what shape the opinions of
native Hawaiians will take, as to the
political change now in progress. No
doubt the majority of them are now
governed by their long existing jealousy
of white ascendancy, and are dissatisfied
and sullen. We have, however, personal
knowledge of some of the best and
wisest among them who rejoice in the
removal of the terrible incubus of Palace influence, with its debauching and
heathenizing effect. These men also
enthusiastically welcome the prospect of
union with America. We are reliably
informed that this feeling is growing
and extending among the native people.
After the final arrangements have been
concluded, and the new form of government has been definitely settled, we anticipate satisfaction among the natives,
and their cordial cooperation with the

Events Before the Revolution.
The first public indication of dangerous
intentions was the (Queen's strange deity
in signing the Appropriation Bill, which
had passed the House December 90th
Over $200,000 were awaiting immediate
disbursement from the treasury, for
which the community were impatient.
It was signed on the 4th, immediately
followed in the P.M. by an attempt to
vote out the able and excellent Cabinet.
This failed, and public confidence revived, although it soon appeared that the
(jueen herself had made the effort.
Rumors on the 9th of an attempt to
revive the Lottery bill were received with
general derision, which gave place on the
10th to dismay, when the bill was brought
in and rushed suddenly through its
second reading, nearly one third of the
members being absent. The feeling
rose to consternation on the I Ith, when
the bill finally passed, 2;> to 20. Only
one white man voted for it, the Queen's
special agent. Heavy bribes were used.
The city was filled with shame at our
harboring an infamous piratical combination which Louisiana had vomited
out with painful throes; with dread at
the enactment of a thing so hostile and
insulting to our great and friendly neighbor; and with horror at the prospect of
being bound for twenty five years under
the yoke of a foul and tyrannous corporation which would control our politics.
At the first introduction of the bill in
Atlgoet, confidence had been felt that if
neceteary, effectual protest would be
made by the American Minister to a law
so hostile to the United States. Minister
Stevens, however, seeing the session apparently at an end, and the attempt to
displace a satisfactory Cabinet defeated,
had relaxed his vigilance and gone with
the Cruiser Boston for a ten days visit to
Hilo. The Cjueen had promptly seized
the opportunity of his absence to consummate the infamy. Her scheme was
to profit by the influence of the Lottery
to resist annexation tendencies, while
enjoying the lottery subsidy of $500,000
a year.
A foregone conclusion after this was
the ousting of the Ministry, by the same
set of members, now thoroughly in line
on the side of evil. This was done on
Thursday the L2th, two more white men
joining the natives, to make the necessary majority of -5. The Cjueen had
her new Cabinet ready, and sent them
into the House the next day. Meantime the Chamber of Commerce met
and sent the Cjueen a unanimous and
almost violently energetic protest against
her signing the Lottery Bill. They had
little hope, as her true intentions,
hitherto dissembled, were now becoming manifest.
A pall of unbroken gloom occupied
the political sky. The next morning,
Saturday the 14th, just as the Boston was
steaming into port with the American
Minister, the Cjueen signed the Lottery

the Marshal now states that he is opposed to the Queen's proposition, he
also states that if the final issue arises
between the Queen and the Cabinet and
people he will support the Queen.
The Cabinet was absolutely powerless
and appealed to citizens for support.

At 2:.i0 I.M. of January 17th, the
Committee of Safety, with the gentlemen selected for the new administration
of affairs, entered and took possession
of Aliiolani Hale without resistance, and
from its front entrance H. K. Cooper
Esq., Chairman of the Committee id
Public Safety, lead lb J following proclamation :
Proclamation.
In its earlier history Hawaii possessed
Constitutional Government honestly
and economically administered in the
public interest. 'Pile Crown called to
its assistance as advisois able, honest
and conservative men whose integrity
was unquestioned even by their political
opponents. The stability of the Government was assured ; aimed resistance
and revolution uothought of; popular
rights were respected, and the privileges
of the subject from time to time increased and the prerogatives of the Sovereign diminished by the voluntary acts
of the successive Kings. With very
few exceptions this state of affairs continued until the expiration of the first
lew years of the reign of His late Majesty Kalakaua. At this time a change
was discei liable in the spirit animating
the chief executive ami in the influences
surrounding the Throne. A steadily
increasing disposition was manifested
on the part of the King to extend the
royal prerogatives; to favor adventurers
and ptisons of no character or standing
in the community; to encroach upon the
rights and privileges of the people by
Steadily increasing corruption of electors, and by meanß of the power and

ment and promises, up to the time of
his death, the history of the Government
has been a continual struggle between
the King on the one hand and the Cabinet and the Legislature on the other,
the former constantly endeavoring by
every available form of influence and
evasion to ignore his promises and
agreements and regain his lost powers.
This conflict upon several occasions
came to a crisis, followed each time by
submission on the part of His Majesty
by renewed expressions of regret and
promises to abide by the constitutional
and legal restrictions in the future. In
each instance such promise was kept
until a further opportunity presented
itself, when the conflict was renewed in
defiance and regardless of all previous
pledges.
Upon the accession of Her Majesty
Liluiokalani, for a brief period the hope
prevailed that a new policy would be
adopted This hope was soon blasted
by her immediately entering into conflict
with the existing Cabinet who held office
with the approval of a large majority
of the Legislature, resulting in the triumph of the Queen and the removal
of the Cabinet. The appointment of a
new Cabinet subservient to her wishes
and their continuance in office until a
recent date gave no opportunity for
further indication of the policy which
would be pursued by Her Majesty until
the opening of the Legislature in May
of 1892. The recent history of that
session has shown a stubborn determination on the part of Her Majesty to
follow the tactics of her late brother,
and in all possible ways to secure an
extension of the royal prerogatives and
an abridgment of popular rights.
During the latter part of the session
the Legislature was replete with corruption; bribery and other illegitimate influences were openly utilized to secure
the desired end, resulting in the final
compltte overthrow of all opposition
and the inauguration of a Cabinet arbitrarily selected by Her Majesty in
complete defiance of constitutional principles and popular representation. Notwithstanding such result the defeated
party peacefully submitted to the situation.
Not content with her victory, Her
Majesty proceeded on the last day of
the session to arbitrarily arrogate to
herself the righ* to promulgate a new
Constitution, which proposed among
other things to disfranchise over onefourth of the voters and the owners of
nine tenths of the private property of
the Kingdom, to abolish the elected
upper House of the Legislature and to
substitute in place thereof an appointive
one to be appointed by the Sovereign.
The detailed history of this attempt
and the succeeding events in connection
therewith is given in the report of the
Committee of Public Safety to the citizens of Honolulu and the Resolution
adopted at the mass meeting held on the

[Februay, 1893.
THE FRIEND.
16th inst., the correctness of which report and the propriety of which resolution is hereby specifically affirmed.
The constitutional evolution indicated
has slowly and steadily, though reluctantly and regretfully convinced an overwhelming majority of the conservative
and responsible members of the community that independent, constitutional,
representative and responsible government, able to protect itself from revolutionary uprisings and royal aggression
is no longer possible in Hawaii under
the existing system of government.
Five uprisings or conspiracies against
the Government have occurred within
five years and seven months. It is
firmly believed that the culminating revo
lutionary attempt of last Saturday will,
unless radical measures are taken, wreck
our already damaged credit abroad and
precipitate to final ruin our already overstrained financial condition; and the
guarantees of protection to life, liberty
and property will steadily decrease and
the political situation rapidly grow worse.
In this belief, and also in the firm belief that the action hereby taken is and
will be for the best personal, political
and property interests of every citizen
of the land We, citizens and residents
of the Hawaiian Islands, organized and
acting for the public safety and the common good, hereby proclaim as follows
1. The Hawaiian Monarchical system
of Government is hereby abrogated.
2. A Provisional Government for the
control and management of public affairs
and the protection of the public peace
is hereby established, to exist until terms
of union with the United States of
America have been negotiated and
agreed upon.
3. Such Provisional Government shall
consist of an Executive Council of four
members, who are hereby declared to be:

in the order in which enumerated, according to existing Hawaiian Law as far
as may be consistent with this Proclamation ; and also of an Advisory Council
which shall consist of fourteen members who are hereby declared to be:

Hawaii has in twenty weeks seen five
different Cabinets, now succeeded by the
Executive Council of the Provisional
Government. All this injurious changing has been in consequence of the
imperious determination of the Queen to
have Ministers who would be subservient to her own ignorant and capricious
will, instead of such men as the country
had confidence in. The people have at

held it in high honor and loyal reverence.
It was the indispensable center of loyal
allegiance to authority for a. weak and

and upright foreigners long led in the
King's councils. At home and abroad,
the Royal government commanded the
highest respect and confidence.
The fatal change began with Kaniehameha V., who favored idolatry and relaxation of morals, but whose native sagacity followed judicious political counsels.
With Kalakaua, total pollution and misrule came to pervade Court and Government, until partially arrested by the mild
revolution of 1887. The end of the once
noble monarchy has been, alas, in darkness and shame. But Hawaii thanks

Sin is usually seconded with sin; a man
seldom commits one sin to please, but he
commits another to defend himself.
Be thyself the living expression of
truth in all thy words and actions; live
out the noble principles you believe in.
Satan does with sinners as the Philistines did with Samson; he first puts
out their eyes, then makes them grind
in his mill. God touches the eyes, and
the scales fall from them.
We may say in liberty of speech that
this or that man is like Christ, but that
would be anarchy of speech which would
say that He is like this man or that.
His virtue, his majesty, his sweetness,

THK FRIEND,
HAWAIIAN BOABJO.
H. I
HONOLULU,
This DAJM i- d«VOWd t" the interests of the Hawaiian
Board "f Missinis. nd the Editor, appointed by thf
for it- con.ents.
Board! itl
Rev, O, P.
EmersOr\ -
The Secretary
was
lately
at
Editor*
the leper
settlement at Kalaupapa, Molokai, and
had audience with the church and congregation of that place. Upon his nominating the Rev. S. K. Kamakahiki of
Olowalu, Maui, to the pastorate, he was
warmly seconded by the deacons, and
as a result Mr. Kamakahiki has been
asked to transfer his pastorate from
Olowalu to Kalaupapa.
The accompanying circular letter is
too brief to contain many facts that bear
upon the work of the Hawaiian Board.
The feeling of the hour does not permit
us to argue for a cause which the experience of the past few days has proven
to be so absolute a necessity to our wellbeing as a people. But certain statements not included in so short a letter
may properly be subjoined here.
It will be noticed in the letter that the
item for the Chinese mission is large.
$5800 is a good deal of money for us to
spend in any one mission. It is the
largest item named. It has been enlarged this year by the refusal of the
American Board to grant more than
$500 to'this work. The grant has formerly been $1000. It must also be said
that the Chinese mission is developing
into a large one. There is not a more
hopeful work to be found in the land,
nor one that has more vital connection
with the future of these islands than
that which is under the superintendency
of Mr. Damon. It is one that has taken
a strong hold of the Chinese people.
Perhaps the public is not generally
aware that the audience that attends the
Chinese church is one of the larger ones
of the city. Its growth has necessitated
the addition which has been made to
the building, and in this addition stands
the former Central Union Church organ,
which will thus continue to have a hear
ing. It should also be remembered that
Mr. Damon has added a very much needed boarding department to his school
work. This department has, by the way,
so far cost the Hawaiian Board nothing.
The Chinese mission now has an important branch in this city which directs its
energies towards the evangelization of
Chinese women. The branch missions
jn Wailuku and Kohala are also important adjuncts to the general work, and
those who conduct them are missionaries to other peoples than the Chinese.
What is said of the Chinese mission
must also be said of the Japanese.
There has been a very hopeful growth.
There are Japanese missionaries now on
every one of the larger islands, and in
the centers of Honolulu and Hilo. The
work is in charge of unusually talented
and strong men. The Japanese at Hilo
under the lead of Rev. Jiro Okabe have
built themselves a commodious and neat
church building. In Honolulu they are
rallying about the Rev. J. K. Oku, and
though now domiciled in Kmma Hall,
and without a church building of their
own, they hope to have one before long.
Finally, we must not omit to speak of
the most hopeful work being done among
the Portuguese. II the missions to the
Chinese and Japanese are important,
that to the Portuguese is not less so.
Here is a people that must be evangelized and brought up to the level of bible
thought and experience. Nothing short
of this will satisfy this inquiring people.
And they are asking for it as the growth
of the churches under Pastors Soares
and Baptiste will testify. The beautiful
Portuguese church building at Hilo is
an ornament to that town, and those
who meet there are yet more of an ornament. And if we look at the Portuguese
mission in this city we shall find it a
center of activity and of hope. Here is
a thriving church with a day and evening school conducted by choice teachers
and watched over by the pastor and his
talented wife. This body of Christian
workers is at stiife with no other, for
there is room enough in this land for all
who seek the light to walk together in
peace.
TREASURER'S CIRCULAR.

ok thk
Hawaiian Board:
Honolulu,
January 20,
p osperous people at peace with each other and
under a good government, demands this. Our
aim should be to become a Christian people living
together in the fear of God and with the love of
humanity in our hearts.
Now, a-idc from the work which is being done
by the Roman Catholic and Anglican bodies, the
Hawaiian Board is the only organization in the
held which in connection with our churches and
local societies, presumes to be carrying on such
a work, the home (American) Board having
practically withdrawn from the field, and left it
to us to till. This Board accordingly, through
its Secretary and Treasurer, invites you to a candid consideration of its claims for your generous
support.
We are able to report favorably of all our
missions including those of the foreign field.
From the Gilbert Islands, where we have eight
Hawaiian missionaries, there has come the news
of large ingatherings into the churches and a
general and growing desire forknowledge. From
the Marquesas, where we have three sturdy
Hawaiian missionaries, there comes an earnest
plea for aid to be given to their two boarding
schools.
Our home missions are alive in every branch.
Among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese
there is steady growth, both in school and church,
and it is even reaching beyond our ability to
properly cultivate with our present funds. We
accordingly ask for liberal aid; and, for fuller
information, append the following schedule of
our estimated expenditures and receipts promised
for 1893.

Dkak Sir: The providences of these days are
making it plain that the work of evangelizing the
races that dwell together on these islands must
be pressed with redoubled vigor. The aboriginal
people whom the fathers helped to rise to a better
life, must be made yet more Christian. This lov
able Hawaiian people need but to be aided to
achieve this result with the instrumentalities now
in their own hands.
Imperfect and faulty as is much of their church
work, there is that which is most commendably
done. The native pastorate, as has been lately
shown in signal instances, is on the side of morality and good government. We wish to be
helped to establish them yet more fully on that
side. They and their people are in poverty.
They look to us for sympathy and support. It
is our gracious privilege to grant them these.
The aid we are called to give the Hawaiian
must also be granted the Chinaman, the Japanese and the Portuguese who have come to be
dwellers in the land. Our very existence as a

Thus it is seen that we need in round numbers
over 11,000 to meet the actual necessities of the
present work. Where there is not a preference
for a special mission, we would be pleased to
have all contributions given to the account of the
General Fund. Donations so received can be
applied to any branch of the work. We ask the
grace of an early remembrance on the part of
our patrons.
In behalf of the Hawaiian Board.
