Ke Aloha ʻĀina, He Aha Lā?

                       

Joseph Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu was the editor for the nūpepa, Ke Aloha Aina. 

The following is an excerpt from the 25 May 1895 edition of Ke Aloha Aina. View the entire article and translation here.

O ke Aloha Aina, oia ka Ume Mageneti iloko o ka puuwai o ka Lahui, e kaohi ana i ka noho Kuokoa Lanakila ana o kona one hanau ponoi.

O ka Ume Mageneti, oia no ka ikaika nana i kaohi i ke kui magen[e]ti o ke Panana, e hoʻopololei ana i kona kuhikuhi i ka welelau Akau o ka Honua nei, a i ka hoku akau hoi.

 

That which we call Aloha ‘Āina is the magnetic pull in the heart of the patriot which compels the sovereign existence of the land of his birth.

Magnetism is the power which directs the needle of a compass so that it will always point directly to the North Pole of the Earth, and therefore toward the North Star as well.
