Innninp tli.it. lie rcpinentcil lite fatal system of
plajiii; iiith fire. lucli the pi eminent was
constantly encouraging. Any citircn maj
apjienl to Ihc law for protection or rcxlress.
So Doctor 1'ilch, in nn ill-ailiiil moment,
began suit lor lilart. The law of hlict uas
franinl to atT.inl pnitcclion ap-iimt injurious
sutcments in pnUic print which arc limine, or
which aic printol uithout juaifi.llilc motives.
Were the charge, of llie 1'icM true? Wire
they piinloil for the pulilic good ?
The wisest laws lieciunc worse than failures
if unfaithfully carnal nut. It is right to insist
iilKin the stricti-st acctiuntabilily from public
officers. Who may so reailily, so nroicrly or
so crTccliscly insist upon tins accountability as
the public pres.s ? If the law lw nunagetl for
other motives lli.m the public gooil, if ulterior
cruls lie consiilcrcil, if outside influences have
improjicr weight, the cmls of law are tlcfcatctl.
Il is Ihc iintilccc of every nevvsnaicr lo
ciposc the faulty mclhials, the unjimpcr
action, the bail cbiraclcr of any public servant
It is not only a privilege, but a iluty. If ihe
public journals ilo not spreail before us the
incompetence, the irregularities, the improper
or the unlaw Iui cnmluct of olticuls, who
shall ? The public journal tliat neglects its
plain iluly in this tespcel is unworthy to leail,
or even tn reflect, an cnlighteneil public opin
ion. Now the management of this great sub
ject of leprosy is more important to this com
munity than any other. It is a menace lo
pmserty, to society, to health, to life. Il is
Ihc greatest public ipicslion, ami Doctor Fitch
is its principal ci'miicM. The legislature
gave Doctor Filch great powers, the govern
ment gave him a long list or officers. He was
the chlif executive officer of the health
authorities of the kingdom, having almost
exclusive jurisdiction in the treatment of
leprosy. In the forcible language of Mr.
Dole: "lie hail more power fur good or ill
than any other officer in the kingdom; ami,
though his ranV. were lower and his salary less,
he hchl the rnosl important office under the
Hawaiian fiovcrnmcnt." And if the chief
medical director of the realm shall not Iw held
tn a strict accountability, if his theories )nd
his nicthtsa. and his professional Conduct be
not fair subject for ncwspaiicr irvjuiry, criti
cism; discussion and necessaiy rtbulc, then
Ihc freeiloui of the pri-M is a misnomer, and
dec diacussion is a f.nce.
"iiif.ir xrn.i. tiikv no with itt"
It is lumoml that Doctor lllch has secured
the signature of inotl of lite Kakaalo lejx'rs,
and nuny of those being trealcd by him at the
dlspensai), to a itiii.tfi asking Ihc lauid if
bcalih In Main him In this city. The trial of

The Advertiser of yesterday heads an edi
torial with "The Truth about the Libel
Suits," and goes on to say that "There can
not lie adduced the slightest evidence that the
government in any way prompted or took the
least part, except what was necessarily official,
in the libel suit. The writer shows con
siderable temper in his reply to a charge made
by the Gazette that: " The issue fully proves
the antagonism of the government agains an
indetsendent press." We think that most of
our leaders will admit that the Gazette's
charge goes without sa)ing. So far as the
suit against the I'ress is concerned, there is
ample evidence that Doclor.J-'ilch asserted that
' the old man, (meaning the president of the
Kurd of health), bad forced him lo bring Ihe
recent suit. It is true that the paleaceous
picnilcr did not fully represent the govern
ment at that time, although he did represent
the foreign office, the health department, the
educational interests, and the priestly dignity
of the ' opiKKilion shop." At present, he
represents a deal more; and, notwithstanding
the verdict of a jury has found the l'rcss nol
guilty of liliel in ils charges against Doctor
Fitch, this unblushing time-server uses the
columns of the official mandolin to shriek
forth the cheap falsehood, that Doctor Fitch
has U-cn slandered. -Mr. Gibson is pulling

The "absurd contemporary" mentioned
nKive Is Ihc Hawaiian ti.tzi.ttc. Its ntniwlily
consists In telling tliclriitli. The tiulli is the
one thing Ihe administration cannot stand. It
is water In a mad dog ; il Is the red rug lo an
enraged bull. Hut if Ihc administration hurdy
gurdy had contented itself with walling from
Its broken strings, " in jingled dissonance nf
deep dissent," there would havcliecn no op
portunity for dignified reply. Hut the extract
aKivc printed is a iecific statement nf whit ll
wishes the public to believe alioiit lite conduct
ol Ihc gentlemen who composed the last nd
miiiisttntion. Fortunately, the best nnswer lo
that glaring fabrication is lo be found in the
official Kiorts of the list administration and
their accnniian) ing statistics. Tn understand
the quotations which follow, it must he remem
bered that the Fitch regime in Kak.nko began
11 October, 1SS1. King lsalak.1111 returned
from his I'urnpcnn trip October 29th. Mr.
Armstrong, who had liecn nbs,ent with the
king, resumed charge of the attorney-general's
office. Shortly thereafter, Mr. II. A. 1". Carter
left nu the Portuguese mission, mid Mr. Arm
strong became acting minister of the interior
and president of the Kiard of hcallh. While-
he had charge, the Knkaako expciimcnt was
fairly initiated. The original intention is made
cle'ir by the following quotation from the re
iort of the president of the lioard of health to
the Hawaiian Legislative Assembly of 1SS2,
made from Ihe chapter on "branch Hospitals,"
pigis 4 1 , 42 and 43 of that rejxirt :
In Octolicr last, (Octolier, 1SS1,) my pre
decessor, Mr. Carter, succeeded in obtaining
with the kind co-operation of Her Hoynl
Highness Liltuokalani, a lease of premises nt
Kakaako, near Honolulu, mon which he
caused to be elected buildings, which should
serve as branch hospitals. It was intended
that those who were said to lie lepers should
be placed in these buildings, until It was
clearly decided whether they were or were no
lepers ; and, if it was finally decided that they
were, that they then should lie removed to
Kalawao, in accordance with the well estab
lished rules. '1 here had liecn complaint aKiut
rough treatment of lepers, and that persons
suspected, to have llie disease havcliecn cruelly
seized and removed to Kalawao. Ily using
this branch hospital, it was hoped that sucli
complaints would lie avoided. Dr. G. I.
Fitch took charge of this branch hospital. On
account of his success at the dispensary, large
numbers of lciers at once came to the bos
pita). " I-argc numlx-rs of lepers at once came to
the hospital." If large nuinlicrs came, how-
can the Advertiser's statement that "during
his (Mr. Armstrong's) entire incumbency of
office he did not cause to be removed
from the midst of the community a single Icvcr
to be placed in the hospitals anywhere," lie
an) thing than a falsehood, made nut of whole
cloth ? It is a falsehood, and the responsible
editor of the Advertiser knows that it is a
falsehood. The report goes on to say :
It (the branch hospital) contains nt present
ninety-two (92) patients. Not only the lepers
nl Honolulu, nut t nose 01 oinerisiamis, applied
lor admission, inc nuiunngs were increased
as fast ns possible. When the leicrs found
that Ihey were not lo lie nurrietl away to Ka
lawao, and they also lielicvcil that they would
be cured hy Doctor Fitch, they did nol best-
tale to come forward. The result is that
lepers arc coming forward freely.
Now- how little these official statements
agree with Ihe organ grinding ol the Ailver.
titer I Kakaako was begun in tSJil, The
legislative lepoit from which quotations are
made was submitted to the legislature in April
of the following year. It was written up 10
the end of March. About five months were
covered. In that time ninety-two lepers were
admitted to the new hospital. If they were
detained there and not sent directly to Molo
kal, it was to give Doctor Fitch a fair chance
to establish a cure of leprosy. Does anyone
believe that Mr. Armstrong would have con
tinued, for nearly two) ears, to trifle with tho
life of the whole community? It him speak
for himself. We ituote from the same cliaplcr
of the same rcort :
The proper course lo take in this matter is
nnt clear. Instead or using the branch hos
pital as originally Intended, it is now being
nude a pciuuncnl leper sett lenient. Those
who are incurable are iclaincd there. None
are sent to Kalawao, ciccpt for dlsnlvedlcnce
of Oidcrs. This course Is permitted rather at
an experiment by Doctor ritch. It will result
lu tuts, However, 11 11 is luiuicr pursuen, I nit a
great leper xUticinciil will Ik: built up near
Honolulu. In the hospital and In the eitv
there are now about four hundred lepers, and the
number is increasing constantly. It is akcd
whv should tcticrs fiom other islands la; brought
lo Honolulu instead of being taken to Kalawao?
They can lie Heated at well at Ihc l.Ulcr place,
Moieovcr, there ts abundant loom iluie for
exercise ami light lalmr. To confine several
hundred people on a small piece of ground
will, before long, make (hem discontented.
Already several have broken out of the hos
pital, ll will be difficult to guard them. If
the lein-is must leave home fur ttsalnienl, they
should go u Kalawao. If the lepers are pel
milled to come u Honolulu, al) those at Kala
wao should be pirinlltcd lo move dusvn 10 this
place. The tentilc must be treated alike. If
this were dime, there would lie a large Sown of
lccrs on the edge of Honolulu. My own
opinion Ii ltut it would b Impossible lo con
trol them, without espenxive arrangements.
The eavlett course to tsursue is lo allow lite
It-tiers 10 go free, ami the most difficult is lint
of Isolating litem. The subject ihould leeetve
the moat caicful lgldaliic conaldcratioiu Al
present, eipciluienli aic going on, but a de
cided policy must Maui U- adopteil. If IVwtor
Fitch Is able lo give real Iclief to this greatly
sWicttil iivple, be wUl oarn the gratitude of
Ihe rjttlin.

The latest coronation expense, as shown by
Ihc riuarlcilv statenvnt published by the
Advertiser last Saturday, amounts to $S;6 25.
How long is this drain to last ?
-a
Hawaiian taxpayers, directly or indirectly,
paid the following tribute money to the mere
idea of ro).illy, during the past quarter:
I'rivy purse, $6,250; househould expenses,
$l,9Soj to the queen, $2,000; to the heir
presumptive, $l,99S; to another ro)al high
ness, $1,500; to still another, $624; to a
chamberlain, $875. This civil list amounted to
$15,893. To this must be added $3,07S 46,
for "receptions and incidentals;" king's guard,
$(,571 90;. coronitlon aftermath, $89625.
To this is not added the $2,Sl9 53 expenses
for liatid, flags and salutes, because the people
do receive some gnod for their money in this
item of loyal expenditure; nor is any attempt
made to segregate such portion of the $11,
3S1 40, spent-for foreign diplomatic missions,
as is properly chargablc to mere vulgar osten
tation, and a desire to pose for what royally in
this kingdom is not.
If the taxpa)crsof this kingdom arc will
ing to pay at the rate of $07,759 16 .1 year, for
llie privilege of being ruled over by a king
and it is, directly, several thousand dollars
more than that no one not a taxpajcrhasa
right to object. And it must be extremely
captious criticism that should object to these
injal expenses, if the kingly office were filled
with ability, with dignity, and with honor.
Hut the relations of king to people nre
reciprocal. It is llie plain duly of "subjects"
to respects obey ami protect their liege. It is
equally the duty of free citizens to yield
prompt and full allegiance to constituted
authority. Hut Ihc duty of king, of president
or of other ruler, is not less plain. I Ie must
lie n national example for good, or he liecomcs
a national example for bad. If dignity,
honor and ability are not ikirt of the kingly-
character, how can these attributes lie centered
in the kingly office?
Had ever a monarch licltcr opportunity to
gain and to hold the affections of a free jicoplc
than King Kalakaua has had? He is an
elected king; he must look for his moral and
for his pecuniary siipjxvrt In free electors, le
ading in conformity with the dictates of
common prudence, his jtallt was almnst sure to
be rose-lined. It has always been his inteiesl
to live a manly, clean, unostentatious and
patrioticlifc. A good wife, a good Income, n
chance to study the interests of hi people,
why should he not settle down to the quiet
enjo) menl -Tf these good gifts of a free and
trusting constituency? Why should he tax his
itcoplc, In imckct and in patience, to gratify a
taste for tawdry display, or to give free rein to
the worse half of his nature, at the c)iensc of
the people's money and his own pbpularity ?
'
Hut there was never a more riilhful proverb
than the good old Saxon sa) ingi " it ii ncvci
too Utcto mend." There it) it t'.me, if the
king will take the time, lo win luck hit lost
popularity with the Kople he hat injuicd.
Let (he king take stand for honest administra
tion, and such men as Gibson, Huih and Fitch
would Ik roblied of half their tamer foi harm.
If Iu office at all, they would te so stripped of
power fur evil lint they would cense lo be a
irpiiucli to the government abroad, and a
stench to the people at home.

F.niTOP SaturpaY Press .- In a re
cent edition of the I'ress )ou nsk me : " What
do you think of the bass drum racket?" It
appears to me that the writer of the -taragriph
aUiut the drums in our band lieing played too
loud, must have liecn silling nn the drum, or
outside of il, while it was being played, or else
the drum of his car is sadly out of order, I
have never nt any time (and I hate heard the
band a great nuinlier of times) found that the
biss drum has been used injudiciously. Quite
the contrary. I have particularly noticed that
Mr. Hergcr a)s the strictest attention tn the
coloring of the music pla)cd by the band. To
properly appreciate a band ol twenty-seven
performers, it docs not do to get too near
them. To illustrate what I mean b) this,
would be to sit on the verandah of the hotel
and listen to the band as it pta)s from the
stand. If the writer ol that paragraph will do
that and prove to me that the bass drum .is
pla)cd too loud, why I will eat the drum and
drum-sticks as well. The drum is a very im
portant instrument in a band, as lieing Ihc
foundation. Take away the drum and see the
result. Play a piano without a bass to it, listen
to an orchestra without a double bass, or an
organ w ithout a tvctlal bass, mid notice how
dreadfully then the music would sound. I
have heard bands with the same numlier of in
struments as our band that had twnhassdrums.
It is unjust to criticise any of the members of
our land, and unfair to Mr. Hergcr, who has
worked hard to bring it to its present state of
iwrfcciion. Its playing, at times, is mag
nificent, and civ es delight to cv cry man, woman
and child in Honolulu. I feel sure that when
Ihc boys return from their visit to San Fran
cisco they will bring back with them well
earned laurels, including the bass drummer.
Yours truly, Wrav Taylor.
