laborer on one of the plantations on East Maui was re-
Gently discharged from service as useless, he having an
apparently incurable sore leg. Arrived at Honolulu, pen
niless and without relatives in the country, a charitably
disposed countryman got contributions on his behalf
from the resident Chinese to the amount of some $50.
With $40 of this an attempt was made to get the sick man
into the Queens Hospital, but he was refused admission
his care and treatment at the rate of 81 per day, as his
complaint might probably last for many months. The
Chinaman who applied on behalf of the sick man, said it
was no use to try that, for Cinnamon would never contrib
ute a second time for charity and he thought 1t was very
strange that the Hawaiian government should refuse to
take care of the man gratuitously. Querey Would the
Chinese government provide a free hospital and medical
attendance for an " outside barbarian" under similar cir
cumstances2

KaIdkaua, a stranger took passage for the Islands, for the
benefit of his health. Capt. jerks and wife did all in
their power for his comfort, even allowing him to occupy
Their stateroom. He died on the passage: his name was q.
G.. Wayne of Philadelphia. Capt. jerks wrote to his
friends, and to the Masonic Lodge of which he was q
member. So highly did these parties appreciate the
kind services of Capt. and Mrs. jerks, that the William
son Lodge of philadelphia, sent to him a handsomely
framed testimonial, while his friends presented Mrs.
jerks with a gold watch and chain. 1t is with pleasure
we note such expressions of appreciation for services rem
dered, and their infrequency only renders them more
praisewo-thy-Th Friend.

A CHINESE NIHILIsT.-Last week a Chinaman

was received at the Oahu Prison from the district of
Kan, Hawaii, under peculiar circumstances. It appears
that he was arrested on the complaint Of some of his
own countrymen at Kau, who testified before the Magis-
trate that the prisoner was endeavoring TO organize a
secret society among the Chinese iaborers in the district,
the main object of which was to be the burning of cane
and sugar mills and the robbery of the proprietors. The
compliments in the case being themselves the owners OF
fields of cane, felt alarmed for the safety of their pro-
perty, and SO complained of the nibilist leader. The
Magistrate ordered the prisoner to give bonds TO keep
the peace in the sum of Thirty thousand dollars, which
being an impossibility in his case, he is kept in prison.

4 LANDING APPARATUS FOR HAMAKUA.-A massive

direction of Mr.. Johnstone, Civil Engineer, and only
awaits the arrival of a six-inch steel cable from San
Francisco to go into active operation. We understand it
is on the plan of similar landing apparatus which have
been in successful use for years on the PERCEPTIONS coast
of Northern California. The cost of this valuable i'm
provement is stated at SIC, 600, one half of which sum will
be paid by the government.

every Congressman the magic
word, "Stick." The fraudulent
President has vetoed a bill whose
sole aim is to preserve free cleo
tions In the United States, and to
keep the soldier away from the bal
lot box. The bill, as amended, met
all his first objections. He stands
In the pathway of the voter and
menaces him with the gleam of
the bayonet. The Republicans are
in the habit of surrounding this
subject with fearful amount of
bulbous and magniloquent rhetorl-
cal cant. But the fact stands to-
day that the Republican party is
cheating New York City and
Brooklyn out of between twenty
and thirty members OF the
New York Legislature-the differ
ence in nine years out of ten be-
tween a majority and minority
simply because they can. In the
Empire State Of the nation they
have simply acted on the motto of
the Highland freebooter, "they may
take who have the power and they
may keep who can." We need free
elections in the United States. We
must have them. If Mr.. Hayes Is
willing to surrender our Indian
frontier to the aboriginal savage
simply because he wants to domi.
neer over the ballot box with an
army, let him. Disband the army
rather than submit to such infa-
nous tyranny, say we! Again and
again we say to the Democratic
Congress, "Stick." Stick as fast
and as firm as the eternal hills; and
do not. until the running waters
turn up stream and overwhelm the
fountain head, yield that essential
right of free.born Amsrlcans-an
untrammeled ballot.

THE Young Mems Democratic
Club, the other day, struck the
true keynote for all who call
the mselves Democrats. To every
Democrat who is worthy of the
name a respectable attitude is eve
rything-success is an after consid-
GRAFTON, to be desired but not to be
gained by base concessions. If, In
the contest which, by repudIating
the choice of the people, made John
Quincy Adams President. Henry
Clay had formulated his grand sem
timent, II would rather be right
than be President" instead of de.
ferrlng 1t to later day, Clay
would have been twice President oi
the United States. The Democratic
party just now, to speak frankly.
seems to be in q moderately dis
couraging position in California.
But, if it Is true to principle; if it
stands up fearlessly for the right;
If 1t brings forward its best men,
the man Is not alive to-day who
can certainly predict its failure,
even in the coming fall election.
There never was time in the his
tory of parties in this country in
which it was SO necessary that the
Democracy should be successful in
California as now. Somehow OF
other, in a well-ordered Republic,
1t is generally ordained that things
which ought to come to pass do
come to pass. AT all events, the
Young Democrats are right in de-
manding that regard should be had
to principle, pure and simple, with
out reference to success. And, by
the way, success generally follows
such manly and proper attitudes.
