Every now nnd then some Influential mnn whn linn been misled nbout the himnrv nf Hawaii. In turn mlsreprc sents the people or the Institutions of the Islnnds. -If the attack Is one that ought to be repulsed, Mr. Oilman meets It with an array of facts and arguments which at once settles the iiucHtlons In .;t.,.iD, Tin. Intent Ituilnnre of this kind of service was reported In yesterday's Advertiser. It shows how Mr. Oilman worsted I'rof. O. Stanley Hall of Clarke University, the man who had charged the early missionaries here with checking the growth of nntlve population, lowering native culture and depriving the aboriginal Hawnllnn of at lenil one legitimate menus of livelihood. It was an astonishing charge for a university professor to make and It served to show, In Its evidence of widespread and deep-rooted misapprehensions about Hawaii and Its clvlllzers, the need of the kind of service that Mr. Gllmnn Is rendering. The missionary Is everywhere a much-maligned person. It plcnses those who do not think well of religion to describe lilm ns a disturber of the ueacu In Armenia, n looter of palaces In China, a sybarite In India and Japan and a land-grabber In Hawaii. In forty-nine cases out of fifty the charge has nothing but prejudice to rest upon. Certainly it has little else here, where, so far as we can learn, but one or two of the throng of missionaries to Hawaii left their children a decent If many of these children, not missionaries themselves, have done well in business, that is no fault of the mission fatherH but, it a fault at all. It must be attributed to the Industry, nagaclty nnd thrift of business men of New England blood. Unfortunately the totul accumulations oft all white people here, the veriest minority of whom have a missionary origin or descent, Is laid to the discredit of the Missionary class, until it would nppeur as It the piofesslonnl religious workers of Hawaii had done nothing but steal from their converts since the day of tkelr landing on this beach. An analysis of the assessment roll would convince any one to the contrary, but no alien Investigator ever takes the trouble to make It. The charges uttered by I'rpfessor Hall, are however, new. No one, so far as we know, has ever before made the missionaries bear the blame of the introduction of those pestilential diseases which, during and after the time of Cook's discovery, swept away no many of the natives and undermined the constitutions of the rest. Heretofore the blame has gone where it belongs, to sailors, beachcombers and ther ndventurers. As to nn native culture," here, the phrase is .somewhat Indefinite; but the critics f Hawaii may rest assured that anything worth preserving und building pon In the nboriginal character was .arefully held together by the missionaries as a foundation for Christianity. But there could not have been much In a race given over for centuries to Idola'try, witchcraft, war and Individual vice . What culture the native race kas It acquired from white example and teaching. The final accusation made by Professor Hall, namely that the missionaries killed the native silk worm industry by a too rigid observance of the Sunday Jaw, Jb almost diverting. As Mr. Oilman points out In a letter to a Boston apir, the cultivation of the silk worm as made unprofitable by the warmth f the climate an, was attempted by a white mau, who, though not in sympathy with the beliefs of the missionaries, bore frequent written testimony to thtr unselfish usefulness. Where the Ulue law story came from enn hardly be fathomed, It may have been W reamed. Considering the high place held In New England by Prufessor Hall It Is tovt fortunate for the truth of history lint there was a man like Mr. Oilman u the ground to challenge nnd correct kls btntuiueutB. The former consul nil Is ii defender of the good niimo of Huwnll whom the boldest areuuer Is soon taught to respect; hut It U u nlty that lie Is forced to enter the fray ho fien, Iong bo fore this lme the truth about the civilisation of Hawaii lit nils, sivnury hand ought In liuvw bsun tout-111 In the public mind, nnd In tli. nilndti of wliolmw, ...

Ily their fruits are leRlilntr known; not by the hopes they have rl'd in the bud or In the leaf. It was their failure to serve the Territory nnd their preference for serving themselves, which lost to the Home Hulers In l.'02 what they had so signally gnlncd In lt'00. The Home Hulers originally had a pretty fair proopectus. They pledged themselves to many Ideas which were neceptable to voteis outside their ranks; but they did not attempt to carry out one of them. All they wanted was money for themselves and so busy were they In getting It that they forgot to provide revenue for the Territory. The result was seen in the election returns of the present month. The strongest nrgument the Home Hulers had to contend with In the canvasi was that they had done nothing for the people; nnd that same argument proved to be the undoing of Wllrojc In the fight for Delegate. The Hepubllcan legislators-elect have the chance now to make a reputation which will commend them to the great majority of voters and ndvance Hawaii In the path townrds statehood. Hy the simple process of taking the party platform and living up to It all this can be achieved. If at the end of the session Hawaii finds Itself with revenues assured and with the prospect of better government In all that the term Im plies to good citizens, then the rest will be smooth sailing for the Hepubllcan shin. I. Is a Treat onnortunltv to make Itepubllcanlsm Indispensable to Hawaii and one which, ns we feel assured, the Legislature will meet with open arms. f GRAND JURY SECRECY. The secrecv of errand Jury proceedings is essential to the proper tentlon of the planters nnd that one of tlon of Justice, but In many cases It hailtnenl promised to actively support It ln not been observed.

Of course something1,,,.,,, ,.,.,.. ,ih !,. .,m. must be allowed for the novelty of the,, grand Jury system, the gossipy char-i,. acter of the town, the ncuteness of Pry - Ing eyes nnd ears, domestic confidences' and the like; but It nevertheless ought' to be easy for a court to uscertain. where the lenks are. When the tlves of a man who Is before a grand I Jury on grave charges go ubout telling what the Jury lias done or means to 1 do, effort, backed by the an power toKllnrH ,lf ;,u n,,m,n,KlP,,, ,nllst ,1P punish for contempt, to find out where they got their information, should not prove abortive. I However. It must be recognized that he press some lines gets Information uf uiuuiiimuiiuui oiuciice. rur hi- stance when reporters see J. A. Mngoon go Into the Jury room to be followed i shortly after by Becky Panee, Mr. Spltzer, the dealer In suit cases, and I by the High Sheriff, who ,ima been for some time past Investigating the ods of Treasurer Wright's escape, it Is fair to assume that those mlln,1n nre n.ll being reviewed by the Jury Itself.

Hut If the proposition Is to Introduce Orientals In such a way as to croud out or keep out white mechanics, then the plan of the planters to get Congressional aid In the matter of labor will rail. Considering the great advantages to be had from the Introduction of Chinese, the concessions asked for do not seem to be burdensome. We surmise that If the labor unions would agree to keep n supply of competent mechanics on the plantations, promptly replacing those who get sick of the sequestered life and leave or the towns or for the malulund, the way to nn agreement would .be easy. f THE PLANTERS. The Planters' Association had a fruitful meeting yesterday, the papers rend being for the most part instructive and otherwise vnluoble. On the whole the Association has much upon which toM congratulate itself. By extreme care In the details of plantation work, by pushing the output which for the year I cached the enormous total of 353,631 tons and by reducing expenses, It has sccuied a better Income than the pre vailing price of sugar perhaps Justified ll ln expecting. This policy Ii.i8.un doubtedly. averted u panic as well as improveu uie uuwwuk iur iinoLiier year. One of the Important features of the Associations work has been to Impress upon the Senatorial Commission the need of cheap labor nnd plenty of It.
