LEPROSY CONVENTION.
Nothing n vnluo is likely to bo
gniutd, either by Huwnii or tho
world, from tho proposed leprosy
couvouiion. Govorumonts cnu
convoy nil knowledge extant of
the disenso to each other in ofiiciiil
reports, while specialists or
"leprologists" can oxchango theo
ries freely tlirough tho tunils. As
to tho host moans for suppressing
the disease, Hnwuii caunot tako
any lossons from tho outnido. Her
policy is fixed and it is segrega
tion, with liberal provision to so
cure the greatest possible amelior
ation for tho segregated. Canada
adopted tho same policy long ago
with such success that tho dibeaso
has not spread, ami with
so liltlo ostentation that
tho existence of tho hiznrotto
at Tracadie is only known, gen
erally, tlirough casual newspnper
reference to ollicial reports laid
before parliament. As to the
other branch of discussioti, sug
gested for tho convention, uo cure
for leprony has yet been discover
ed. And none is likely to bo dis
covered in a couvoution, somo of
whoso membors, probably, might
moro correctly be styled faddists
thau specialists. Tho grratly de
sired remedy will come, if at all,
from 601110 devoted man of tho
cal?l.r of a Pastour or a Koch,
assiduously and sacrificinglvstudy-1

lokai or nnothor populous homo I
of tho alllicitcd. Hawaii can best
do her part by giving opportunity
to such a man, also by furnishing '
information freely to govern- I
ments and to specialists. In tho j
latter respect, piobably nothing
moro valuublo has ovor boen I
issued than tho oxhaustivo report
issued by tho I3oard of Health
under tho lato Mr. Gibson's di
rection in 18SG. Thut work has
been in grout demand wherever the
subject is one of concern through
out tho world. Eegarding tho
proposed convention, tho 13ullk
tin's advico to tho Board of Health
is to reply to tho lotter of Dr.
Ash mead of Now York, stating
that this country cun go uo further
thau offering a standing invitation
and wolcomo to all properly ac
credited specialists, bacteriolo
gists, dermatologists, etc., to como
to Hawaii for a close study of tho
disease. It might also bo perfect
ly safe to promiso x haudsomo re
ward for the discovery of an avail
ing remedy.
THE CONTEST.
- Although the excitemout over
tho electoral strugglo in tho States
is great, porhups tho greatest
since the times of troublo a gen
eration ago, it caunot bo denomin
ated abnormal. IuBties are moro
sharply defined than at any time
since auto-bollnm days, which
may well account for tho intensity
of public fooling. It should real
ly be a cause oE satisfaction that,
for tho first titno porhnps since re
construction, there is a contest
over tho chief executive office
which is not ono between tho
"ins" and the "outs," as those
terms aro properly understood.
Business is demoralized, but,
perhaps, not in a greater degree
than in previous contests.
Yot it may not bo an
unmixed evil that business
should havo a fallow season peri
olicully liko that whioh benefits
tho soil. Soothing prosperity
never lastB very long in any coun
try, anyway, without boiling ovor
nud scalding some tenders of tho
pot. Overproduction acts as an
automatic brako to tho hoated
vheol8 of rushing industry, and
they slow down leaving many
passongors bolnted. Wliocau say
in what degioo a presidential con
test that Europoau critics point
to as an ovil in tho American
coustitutiou-iuay uotbo a desirable
substitute for other hnrd but w holo
Borao correctives of commer
cial and industrial febrilo condi
tions? Notwithstanding tho heated
declaration of partisans on oithor
sido that tho success of tho other
menus distraction and blue ruin,
thoro is no tangible reason for
believing that, however tho present
contest may be decided, tho sequol
will bo any different from that of
formor occasions in its creditable
showing of tho temper of tho
American people. Tho defeated
ones will gracefully aecopt tho
verdict of tho nation, and thoro
1 will bo mutual handshakings be
tween the parties. After tho
momentary check to business will
,come a rebound that will propel
tho country into a new period
of prosperity.
POSTAL ROBBERIES.
An Eastern paper contains the
report of postal robbories on a
largo scale, in tho mails passing
between tho United States and
Canada, which have beon traced
, to their origiii after long and,
luttorly, almost hopeless investi
' gation by tho authorities of both
Icouutrios coujoiutly. It is esti-
mated that sevorul thousands of
, lettors, many of them known to bo
; valuable correspondence of banks,
uau neon stolen within tho year
i preceding tho discovery. Tho
' robber proved to bo a railway
i portor on the Araericun side, and
was detected by an American
ollicial who concealed himself in a
railway station where tho mails
i wore transferred, being success
ful after several nights' vigils.
It appearod that tho thief's mode
of oporation was to rip open mail
bags nud, after abstracting pack
ages of letters, sew up tho recept
acles again. Dotcction of tho plan
camo before that of tho robber by
noticing a rip that had been re
paired with a ditforont Bhado of
thrond from the original stitching.
As a large portion of tho trans
continental mail went by the routo
where tho systematic robbories
took place, the news of tho discov
ory may explain uuy possiblo
breaks in their correspondence, in
that direction, which may havo
annoyed people living in those
islands.
Good roads havo boon ad
vancing in Honolulu many years,
just ubout as rapidly as tho avail
able means enabled. Thov will
continue to advance in the sanio
way and will not bo hurried by
any agitation that does not turn
up moro dollars to tho surface.
Whut concerns tho country at
largo most, at this moment, is that
tho resources presently devoted to
opening up roads into ogricul
tural lauds shall bo expended so
as to yield the greatest possiblo
benefits to the nution.
It is doubtful if tho ilower gar
don border being placed about
tho Executivo building will bo an
improvement to appearances. Its
curb lines do not harmonize with
those of the bnseninnt nnrnnnf
I Tho soil in that park has never
'seomed particularly kindly to
j floriculture anyway. Even the
grass requires impoitunato coax
ing. There ought to bo enough
scope for the cultivation of flowers
J throughout the park, whoro if
constantly coddled they will bus
' tain all necessary credit of the
' iiopnuiic tor esthetic rehnement.
There is probably not another
I institution that has made a more
t beneficial mark in tho progress of
' Honolulu than tho Pioncor Build
j iug and Loan Association. In this
issue will be found a comnnriRnn
I of results gained by it with those
J obtainod by similar institutions
elsewhere,

CAGES AND RAIN
GAUGES.
Before Whitelaw Reid be
came Minister to France he
devoted a good deal of his ,
lime to the conduct of his pa
per, the Tribune. The codv
editors who put up the head
lines of stories of the day fell
into the habit of making- most
of them interrogative, as, for
instance, "Was it murder or
suicide?" or "Did she kill him
for love?" or "Will the Presi
dent sign it?" etc.
The whole paper was speck
led with interrogative points.
The thing had been going for
weeks, till one day a postal ar
rived, addressed to Mr. Reid,
and marked personal. It read
as follows:
"I'm getting awful tired of
your questions. Why don't
you find out something? A
great newspaper is supposed to
know eveiything, and ought
not to annoy its readers with
needless inquiries. This morn
ing you asked: "Will Mr.
Piatt consent?" How the h-I
do I know?
That night an order came
that the Tribune must ask few
er questions.
In spite of Whitelaw Reid's
experience we are tempted to
ask the people of Hawaii a few
leading questions, just an even
half a dozen of them.
Question 1 Have you seen
the new improved American
meat and Vegetable Chop
per? If you haven't it will pay
you to call and take a look at it.
It has an automatic rotarymove
ment as well as the nn nnH
down chopping motion. They
are simply and cheap and a
child can operate them.
Question 2 Have you seen
the new Brass Bird Cages
we have just received? Thev
are beauties and they only cost
uuiu ou iu ptou according
to style.
Question 3 Have you seen
the Painted Bird Cages we
are offering at $.2$ to $2.00?
Question 4 Have you seen
the Hartman Steel Wire
Mats we are offering? The
rainy season is coming on and
thev are iust what vnn wnnt
They are cheap, cleanly and
indestructible.
Question JHave you seen
the Rain Gauges we have
lately imported? With one of
these little instruments you
can laugh at the Clerk of the
w earner ana give Him a point
er after every storm.
Question 6 Haveyouo'een
the latest thing out? It is a
portable bootblack stand, made
of iron, which can be screwed
to a post anywhere and moved
in any direction. Must be seen
to be appreciated. Complete
with brushes, two kinds of
blacking, etc., only $2.jo.
