Mr. Crnzaa on the Opium Traffic.
The loiliwinz is tie oermon preached by Mr.
Cruzio at Fort Street Church, last Suoday night,
on the subject : Shall we hare free opium for
Hawaii."
Text Ecclesiastes 10 : xi. " Surely the serpent will
te 'without enchsctmeBt." Also, Ber. 13 : I lx.
MTtboloev tells us that Circe an ocean nymph
dauzhter of the Ltr.e and Peite, wai celebrated
for her ekill in the magic arts, and for her know
ledge ot subtle poios.
According :o Homer, she dwelt in an bland.
attended by four other beautiful nymphs. With
their own personal beauty, ana the sweetest
music, they lured Bailors to their fatal dwclliog.
There they were first royally feaated, and there
t'.e magic cup was presented. Whoever tasted
it was converted into a hog.
When Ulysses was thrown upon the shores of
the fatal island by shipwreck, he sent out an ex
ploring party. Theee all drank of the fatal cup.
and were changed into swine.
Vifiting one of the Art Galleries of New York,
one day, my attention was riveted by a wonder
ful picture, entitled " Circe and the Companions
of Clye-es." It was the picture of a beautiful
woman cui rounded by a herd ol swine : v nat
gave the picture its fascination was not the
heautv, or the face of the enchantress, but the
faces of the hogs. Here was where the wonderful
kul ol the artist was shown, lhough every lace
was that of hg. fMll in every one was a faint
trace of the hu 111:11. ; und each face faintly nhowed
more than mere swinish, brutal instinct There
was in every face n gleam of some human emo
tion. In one mirth, in another recklessness, in
another bravado ; hut these were few in number
in comparison with those faces in which could be
traced shame, aner, horror, despair. It wos a
horrible picture but a true one.
Circe was not a myth. She is a living, terrible
reality. She is a terrible, living, legal reality in
Honolulu. By law, daily and nightly, she fills
her poisoned cup in saloons in your fair city.
And now it is proposed to multiply these saloons,
and dot the kingdom with them. And, as if free
rum was not swift enough, and sure enough, an
engine ol destruction to the hot-blooded, disease
smitten Hawaiian race like children only in
self-control it is deliberately proposed to license
the importation and sale of opium.
We need to face the fact that a strong influence
aiJed and abetted by those high in power is
openly and secretly Vorking for yee rum and
free opium.
Let us, to-night, lor a lew minutes, consider
this question : " Shall tee have free opium in
Hawaii ? '
I What is Opixm?
A narcotic poison the dried juice of the poppy
raised chiefly in India ; used mainly in China
and the Orient, though its use is rapidly increas
ing in America, and throughout the civilized
world. Everywhere it is a deadly destroyer ; but
nowhere does it hold such regal sway, and yearly
send so many thousands of imbecile natives into
eternity, as in China, vhere, for the sake of the
yearly revenue of fifty or sixty millions of dollars,
Christian England forced this pernicious dru
upon Heathen China at the cannon's mouth, and
against the protest of the Chinese Emperor.
But how is it generally used? The opium of
commerce comes in small dark-colored balls,
wrapped in poppy-leaves The smoker or more
commonly the keeper of an opium den buys a
ball of opium, and by mixing it with water,
teething and straining, remixing and straining
again, and evaporating, he at last reduces it to a
soft mixture like jelly or tar. This is put into
little boxes of tin, ivory, or born large enough
to contain each three or four thimblesful, and so
it goes to the smoker. But eoon his countenance
becomes shrunken and pallid. A deep sleep of
hours follows. The poor victim at last awakes
stupid, exhausted, enfeebled ; bis brain seems on
fire, his limbs feel as heavy as lead ; gathering
by degrees a little strength, he rises, swallows
mechanically a little food. Incapable of all
rational thought or useful employment, he sits in
sullen silence, while the slow hours of day wear
away. As night approaches, his appetite for the
drug becomes more clamorous ; his desire is as
ragin? as a famished tiger's for blood. To ob
tain it. he would trample upon the dead body of
his wife ; he would plunge bis naked hand into
molten iron : though torment and death come
with it, he must have it. And thus be goes on
from day to day, from month to month. He,
with his fingers and, a slender stilletto. somehow
makes of it a little pellet as large as a pea. This
he puts upon a pipe not into it, as you do your
tobacco (I beg pardon ; as some other men do
their tobacco. I hope none of you use the stuff.)
And, having pricked a hole through the opium
paste, he draws the flame from a lamp through
it into a long pipe. Thus the fumes go into his
lungs, and he is happy ! Happy for an hour or
two in a beastly eense.
H What are tub Results of Opium Smoking ?
This Bible 6avs : Sin, when it is finished.
brinaina forth eaA."
While this is true of all sin, it is most sadly,
certainly true of the sin of opium-smoking. The
use of opium rapidly enervates, emaciates, and
destroys the body ; ofren it speedily reduces the
infatuated smoker to the appearance of a walking
skeleton. Rev. Isaac Pierson, a missionary in
China, snvs : " At a public inn in Paotinglu, I
met daily a little man, about 35 years of age, who
had smoked opium for twenty years. He was
slender and frail, and when he laid off his coat
as the Chinese are wont to do in their homes
his ribs could all be traced from end to end. and
hii arms were scarcely twice as large as the bones
alone would have been. The opium had fairly
tanned him. You could see it in his face, or
wherever his body was exposed. He looked like
a uiuiumy, and could harjdly have weighed
seventv rounds."
Dr. Beard, of New York, says : Even in the
climate where it grows, opium, when used to
great excess, and for a long time, destroys the
constitution. It increases the thirst, lessons the
appetite, constipates the bowels, enfeebles the
rml.r? ami exhausts the nervous svstein. In the
l ist etHges its direful effects are seen in the gla- sy
eves, the fallow features, and the unequal gait.
ThoFe in the East who give themselves up to its
seductions are usually 6hort-lived. Iney are said
to die on an average before forty."
Another medical authority says that the aver
age length of time after the formation of the
opium hat it Before death ensues is from three
to ten years.
Professor E. H. Clarke, M.D., of Harvard
University, in his article in the American Ency
clopedia on opium, epeak'ng of the physical
effect ol excess, among other symptoms, says the
poor wretch will suffer from emaciation, loss
of strength, a trembling gait, pains in the limbs.
mental sluggishness, hallucinations, and a con
dition resembling delirium tremens.
A native writer in the Chinese Recorder thus
describes the effects of the habit : " From the
robust who emokc. the flesh is gradually con
sumed aud worn away, and the skin hongs like a
bag. lho faces become cadaverous and black ;
mucus flows from the nostrils, and tears from
their eyes. Their very bodies are rotten and
putrid. It exhausts the animal spirits, wastes
the flesh and blood, dissipates every kind of pro
perty, renders the person ill-favored, promotes
obscurity, violates the laws, attacks tne vitais,
and destroys lite.
Rev. Stephen Johnson, lor many years a mis
sionary .t the American lward in imna, says :
" The effects ol opium-smoking upon the body
are frightful, but its effects upon the iuiniorUl
inii. d are even more to be det lored. It wastes
the mental vigor, incapacitates it for powerful
wnd continuous effort, and in a short time reduces
the poor victim to a state bordering on mental
imbecility. The bodily and mental sufferings ol
the confirmed smoker are too great to he described
His state may be called one of living death.
Wrhile he was tho means of procuring wholesome
food, the injurious effects of his indulgence are
less harmful ; but when, as a consequence of his
excessive vice, he can no longer procure healthful
sustenance, and opium likewise fails him, then
diarrhoea comes, and often amid his own filth,
and by the wayside, the wretched man dies like
a brute. The use of this drug turns out a
numerous, miserable, and abandoned class of
meu who subsist, while they have the strength to
move, by begging in the streets ; and finally, in
many cases they perish by the wayside without
an eye to pity them, or a hand to help. Num
hersr by the use of opium, suddenly terminate
their miserable lives, and rush, uncalled, inta a !
uiiserahl eternity. Multitude of unhappy
women in the same wny wilfully destroy them
selves. The miser v which thi ti rii.y inrtvartiiivaii 1
into families and communities, and The vice and
crime of which it is the occasion cannot be told."
lhere is no habit which has such & terrible
laseination. and which becomes a remorseless
tyrant, driving its victim with scorpion-whip to
ewi't and certain destruction as the opium habit.
.iiiu w.ia 19 irue not only ol toe poor heathen vic
tims in China, but of men of cilture and ol
strong intellect and power. The celebrated
author, Samuel T. Coleridge, is an example.
Lsiogitas a medicine to aliav intense nain.it
slowly wound its toils about him ; be became
its abject slave. His friends, as a final resort,
urged him to consent to be confined for a term in
a private asylum for the insane. Imagine the
shame and anguish cf such a man as be cries out.
I quote his words : There is no hope ! My
case is a species of madness, only that it is a
derangement an utter impotence of the volition,
and not of the intellectual faculties. You bid
me rouse myself. Go bid a man paralytic in
Doth arms to net them briskly together, and that
will cure him. Alas ! he would reply, that
1 ciio not move my arms is my complaint, and my
misery." Coleridge did reform, though it cost
him intense suffering. Writing of the day when
be felt that be could omit the dose and yet live,
he says : " I triumphed : but think not that my
sufferings were ended. Think of me as one, even
when four months hnd jaissed, writhing, throb
bing, palpitating, and much in the condition of
him who had been racked by the Inquisition."
In China the Chinese have no hope of the re
formation of an opium smoker ; and the poor
victim, while he gionns beneath his chains, and
hates with malignity the instrument ' his ruin.
desparingly surrenders himself to his late, having
neither the physical nor the moral resolution 10
abandon the drug.
Says Kev. Isaac Pierson : W hen once the
thirst for opium has tak n possession of a person
he will spend his money for that rather than
food ; and many a man has confessed to me that
his daily portion of opium cost him more money
than would the entire support of another man, or
ofoneortwo children. Led on by this thirst,
many sell their lands, their houses, and even
their clothes ; and then, falling into the beggar
class, they go Irom house to fiouse begging lor
food such us we feed to swine, sleep in the
streets where chance may give rheiu a shelter,
and soon sicken and die. But even though they
get no food, they must hnve opium, and the poor
wretched beggars partially satisfy their horrible
cravings by eating the ashes from the opium
pipes of others."
Mr. Pierson also relates this incident : At Yu
cho he had occasion to build. Word was rent
him that there was a fine, large house near by
for sale, wholesale or retail. He went to see it,
and found ti e materials of which it was built
were of excellent quality ; but all was sadly out
of repair. The paving of the court was disturbed,
bricks were missing from the walls, and tiles
from the roof, while several great cracks let the
light through what hud once been Strong brick
walls. A 1'art of the house had already been
sold, torn down and taken away. In the main
room was a large, unburied cofEn. ' I was told,'
says Dr. Pierson, that it contained the body
ol the father, who had been dead nearly a year,
and that he had not been buried for lack of the
money necessary to pay the funeral expenses."
A glance at the son, who was now the owner,
told the cause of these wretched surroundings.
He was of unusually good height and well-formed,
but his garments were dirty and ragged, his eye
was heavy, his face sallow and waxen. He was
an opium-smoker, and Satan had put his mark
upon him. He alterwards became a wretched
street beggar, and then suddenly he disappeared.
Sometimes the use of opium casts a blight upon
a whole village. " Travelling last January,"
says Mr. Pierson, " through the province of
Shantung, 1 came one day at noon to a place
which had written all over it the opium-curse.
It was upon a great travelled road, and was a
regular station, where almost every traveller
stopped for lodging or food, and it should have
been a thrifty village. But everything was as
though famine or pestilence had consumed the
life of the people. The men, women, and chil
dren were among the worst I have ever seen.
They were fit subjects for Dante's pen. When
we drove away, even my rude driver shrugged his
shoulders and said he was glad to escape. Such
cases are not uncommon.
Now it i deliberately proposed to introduce
this blighting curse into Hawaii. What must
be the inevitable results?
1. The demoralization and certain physical
and spiritual destruction of a large per cent, of
our Chinese population.
2. The disarrangement and deterioration of the
working force and power of ti e Chinese now in
the Islands. The vast roajoi ii ol the best labor
ing men on our plantations, mid in other lines of
lood-production and industries are Cbinamen.
Hawaii, now clamoring (r more and better
laborers, cannot hff ird 10 em isculxte a large per
cent, of the 12,000 quiet, industrious Chinamen,
who are now her right hand of labor, by the tree
introduction ol this deadly destroyer. Laying
aside u II question of morals Irom a mere indus
trial, money point of view, legalizing the impor
tation and sale of opium would be a swift process
ol commercial suicide for this nation.
3. When King Kalakaua signs a bill giving
free opium to this kingdom, lie will sign the
death-warrant of his own race.
"O! no," vou say. "Let the Chinamen
have it ; hut tabu it to the natives." Is not the
Chinamen a man, and your brother? Did not
Christ die for him as well as lor you ? And yet
it is coolly proposed to sweep hundreds of these
Chinamen into eternity by the introduction of
this deadly drug. And men talk of it as though
it was a thing of no moment, so long as the
destruction is confined to Chinamen. But it
cannot be thus confined. Make the tabu as
stringent as you please; guard the sale of it by
the most minute restrictions, and still the natives
will have it. Liquor is tabued to Hawaiiana, and
yet we all know that it is sold to them in large
quantities. And yet the selling and drinking of
liquor, compared with the sale and use ot opium.
is an open and unconcealaDle thing. Liquor
selling and in'oxication cannot be concealed.
But no business is so secret as the sale of opium,
and no vice hides out of sight like that of opium
smoking. Standing one day in a drug-store in Portland,
Oregon, a woman glided by me, laid down a
quarter without a word, received a little parcel.
and passed out. 1 said to the clerk Opium
lie answered les ; we sell a great deal of it
in that way." By farther conversation, I learned
that, lor convenience, it was put up in little par
eels ready lor the demand.
(Mr. Cruzan then gave an illustrative anec
dote).
The native will have opium if it is allowed to
be importi-d. The swift harvest of death which
will lollow can only be imagined. One of your
Government physicians tells us that 90 per cent,
of the native population already have the seeds of
death in their veins. They are a race notoriously
lacking in self-control. Their blood and their
passions are as hot as your tropical sun. Give
them free rum and free opium, and the days of
the rapidly-diminishing Hawaiian race are num
bered. HI What Reasons are Given fob the Pro
posed Law Legalizing the Importation and
Sale of Opium 7
1 have beard but two.
1. The present law is evaded. There is
some opium smuggled into the kingdom."
Undoubtedly. The law against larceny is
evaded and violated very much oltener than this
law in regard to cpiuta. Shall we, therefore,
repeal tha law against stealing?
2. " It will put $30,000 into the Treasury."
Perhaps! But a nation that can afford to
expend $107000 upon a standing army of 165
men an army as useless as a fifth wheel of a
waggon certainly does not need to sell the lives
and the souls ol Chinamen ar.d Hawaiians by the
hundreds every year for $30,000 of blood-money.
Let King Kalakaua, when asked to sell his
race for this pi'tance, remember, and repeat the
grand answer of Heathen China's Emperor, who,
when urged to increase his revenue by legalising
the opium trade, said : It is true, ) cannot
prevent the introduction of the flowing poison ;
gain-seeking and corrupt men will, for profit,
defeat my wishes. But nothing will induce me
to derive a revenue from the vice and misery of
my people."
IV What ShouMj be Done What Should Wk
Do in P.egard to this Matter
1. Keep the present law on the Statute Books,
and stringently enforce it.
2. We should do all in our power in the way
of prevention. We should make our influence
felt against the leffabzins of vice and crime pro
ducers. By every pow.hlo means, we should
strive t-.i rie t ie lor.p of sxicietv. so li nt no one
will d renin of lfgnhxing the liquor or opium
traffic We nh-uld give cursclt cm to the elevation
and evangplix iii n not only of our in, but f
all races, that vii nnd crime shall disnpfeHr,
and that the Ciiinanian and Hawaiian may ha
fieo, broauce Christ l ath made them tree.
3. We should reiiirmhfT that G.n hath made
of one blood all nation of the earth.'" Th.il
these men i f fla.vasl, and those fr..iu Chii a.are
our brothers. And if we supinely nl! w free
rum " and 4 free opium " laws to be put upon
our Statute Books, then God will say to us. as
lie said to Cain : Thv brother s blood crietn
gainst the from thee ground."
4. We should remember, too. that we are
members one of another." We epe.ik of anation
as the body politic." It is more than a figure
of speech. It is a fact. One part ol that body
cannot be wounded with the whole body suffer
ing, if we permit the Chinese and the mwaiian
to be smitten with Opium debasing blight il
we permit Free Rum " to run riot in its de
moralizing work through " these summer isles of
bden, lying in purple sens " let not the superior
races hope to escape. As well think to walk
through a small-pox hospital and escape the con
tagion ; as well think to build your nursery over
a cesspool and hope to grow healthy children
therein, as to hope to grow healthy children
morally in a corrupt and festering moral atmos

and how could a Princess of tho Imperial line of
Menangkabau be wedded to an adventurer with
out lineage ?
On the day following the games Lnksamana
spoke to King Sapidin, saying : O, Kinjj, give
me right to protect the Princess for ever, and I
will bring to the Pulnce ol Sansuma ono hundred
slaves." Then Kin Sapidin snw hope in this
promise of Luksamana to procure one hundred
slaves to get rid of him. Ar.d the King replied
smilingly to the terrible suitor : Good, O.
Liksamana. you will prove that you are a gre it
chief. Bring me from the Innd of .Pontinnnk
fifty youne men slaves and fifty young women
slaves, also one picul (133 lbs.) ol pure gold,
twice fi'ty diamonds as laru" as beans, and when
you have biought all these things to Sunsuma,
then will I give you the Princess, and you shall
have her for ever.
Good, O King, swear." And the King
s ware to Laksauiuna that he would keep his
royal word.
Now the Princess Umba met Laksamana with
a sad countenance saying : " What rash promise
have you made, O, my Cliiel? The land of
Pontianak (in the Island of Borneo) abounds in
terrible giants, who cut off human heads for wor
ship. The King, my father, tfreads your suit
for me, and he hopes that you will perish by the
hands of the giants of Borneo." But Laksnmana
spoke emiling and reassuring, saying : ' I (cur
no giants. 1 am the greatest of the giants. 1
will bring back the slaves and tho gold, and the
diamonds, and I will win my beautiful wife
Umba." As he said this he clasped her in his
strong arms, and pressed her to his heart.
When Laksnmana declared his readiness to uo
to the great Island of Borneo, to procure slaves
and gold, and diamonds, King Sapidin gave
orders that five large war canoes, called tam
bangans, should be got ready, and that one
hundred men should man each canoo. But when
Laksamana heard of this, he objected, and said :
" O, King Snpidin, let me take but two canoes
with fifty men each. If I have more they will
be in my way ; but with one bundled brave
men, such as I can choose, I will bring back two
slaves for every m.m I huvo with me ; and they
will bring also gold and diamonds to satily the
King's desire."
King Sapidin was rejoiced at these hold words,
and said to Lnksanmna that if he returned suc
cessful, then he would rejoice to have his daughter
the Princess protected by his strong arms.
Now it was the case that the jealous and
humiliated chiefs of the Court of Sansuma se
cretly rejoiced, as they felt certain that the
terrible pirates of Borneo would destroy Luksa
mvna and his company.
Laksamana did not heed any prophecies of
evil, but declared his desire to start that very day
on his expedition. As he spoke thus the Princess
Umba began to weep, and said that her chief
and protector was very anxious to leave her.
"Not so, my beauti'ul Princess," cried Lnk?
samana. " Let me go quickly I no for you.
Therefore let toe go this very hour, that I may
return all the sooner to you." And at once
Luk8aniana ordered two strong war canoes, such
as he wanted, and he picked out fifty men, who
were all bold fishermen, who lived in their canoes
or on the sea beach, and who seldom or never
slept in a house, and who hud been trained hs
fighting men for King Sapidin. And then he
selected other fifty men. who were slaves, nnd
who do the woik of paddling and sailing tho
canoes. Because the Malny race ol people, who
are notorious since ancient times as greet sea
warriors or pirates, would never do any work as
common sailors. The Malays always hud slaves
to do the work of manning their vessels, whilst
they attended exclusively to what they deemed
the nobler busmen ol fighting. The Malay
warriors were even so proud of their destructive
character as warriors that ihey would not allow
their slaves ta assist them in times of great strife
and danger. So tfie sailor slives could only
look on whilst the warriors fought.
Lakramana quickly supplied weapons and pro
visions, nnd set sail Irom Nia.
The Princess Umba wept w hen her chief was
gone. She no longer found pleasure in the
Palace ol Santuina. She cared no more lor the
amusement of the Court. Her dec ire was only
for whatever would remind her of her absent
hero. Therefore she frequently went to the sea
shore to visit the wreck of the proa, and especi
ally the cave where "lie and her savage lover first
reposed. She went unattended and in disguise,
so that ehe might n r he interrupted in her
thoughts nnd feelings ahut the mm she loved.
She went to the cave on sever. l itiQercnt days,
and sat alone there, an ive herself up to
reverie nnd t.eurs.
Qn one occasion, long after tho departure of
Laksamana, and when her heart was umdc sore
by the lalse rumors of the jealous chiefs of the
Court, that her lover Laksamana had been killed
by the pirates of Borneo, she gave utterance to
the Borrow of her heart in weeping and outcries,
and in these words she lamented for Laksamana :
"Come hack, O Chief, and givi- un; kismet,
And I will not ask for diamond-.
Thy clasp i stronger than a timer's
And awM-ter than the mangostin.
Why ha.st thou left me to k and ut gold ?
Why hast thou gone in search of jit-arls?
Are not my breasta thy treasure y
And my embrace richer than gold
Thou wert my child to follow- me.
And I was thy child w !..;; in ui .na.
O, that there were a child between us,
And w three to rejoice as one.
Come back, O, Laksamana ;
My heart is weary for thee I
My heart is hungry for thee !
Come back, O, Chief of the wild wood !
Come back, O, Chief of tho sea !
Come back, O, King of my heart,
And let me rest for ever with thee.
When Umba had ceased her lamentation for
Laksamana, ehe cast herself down upon the bed
of dry moss and grass upon which she had re
posed on the night when cast ashore in the storm.
She laid down with her face resting in the
palms of her hands, and therefore did not observe
the face of a m m who was peering into the mouth
of the cave. He was a fierce, ugly looking man,
with very dark features, heavy bushy eyebrows,
and with a sinister squint in his expression. He
entered the cave, etefping along softly' and
stealthily, and stood over Umba, who was so
absorbed in her sorrow that she did not notice a
presence which was 10 fall of danger to bar.
The man grinned savagely nnd delightedly fe.
