WE have again to undertake the unpalatable
task of translating Gibsonese into English.
In the first issue Of the Wednesday" (sth
September) those who differ in opinion from
the present rulers are courteously called dis
loyal; in last Wednesdays (l5th instantly they
have ascendcd to the status of rebels What
will they be next week? 1t is provoking that
this kind of thing is kept for those who, con-
fined by their ignorance of any language but
the Hawaiian, have comparatively but few
sources of information, and those not the most
trustworthy. We wish that this style of wri-
ting were pue in plain English before the
English-speaking community by the concocer
thereof and not left for us to circulate.
To show our good faith in the matter we
translate u portion of the native columns of
the Wednesday" that all may judge, each
for himself, of the pernicious rubbish circu-
lated amongst natives by that paper. "What
people," says Jenkins, "can be regarded as
peaceable and law-abiding people who
shall, impudemtiy and arroganAy, go before
the King and say Your acts are wrong, there
fore do you Immediately accede to our desires,
for we have no confidence in those in whom
you have confidence What shall we think
of such people? Shall we not regard
them as opposers, as REBELS ~ We reply,
what shall we think of such writer as this
he dare not put such poison into English, and
if ho did it would only be laughed at; but
among the natives it is different In this little
article the words "white skins" are placed in
opposition to the words cred skins" in no
fewer than four places, and the article begins
with something about the color of skins. Who,
then. is it, we ask. who is endeavoring by in
fan'matory appeals to race feeling, to ircite
distrust and unfriendiness between tho two
great races which inhabit these Islands--a
feeling hitherto unknown, and not yet called
into existence in spite of the efforts of the in-
cendiary.
The Wednesday" (Septen,ber sth) is quite
wrong in stating that " a party of u fem hun-
dreels may endeavor to make it appear"
that "the King is not in harmony with
his people," whoever they may be. How
numerous or how few are they who endeavor
to make the facts appear, the facts themselves
remain aud those who have accustomed these
facts may be counted on the fingers of one
hand, if the thumb be taken into consideration.
p. 8. second edition of the "Wednes-
day" tacks on the phrase raaorous" to
those hitherto used, "disloyal' and "re6els.'
We return the compliment to the writer, with
the reminder that curses always come home
to roost." The bit of Ancient and Modern
History is too absurd an attempt at parody on
our correspondents communication last week
to merit notice @ I" t't

declared" The real nature Of the disease is
already only too we'll ascertained to be fatal,
incurable, and under certain circumstances
almost Invariably contagious. About the most
mischievous agent in propagating and con-
tnuing the disease lie a paper, such as this
which we have under review, addressed TO
natives and designed to cause them to imagine
this dreadful plague, not with horror as they
should do, but with light-hearted sort of
familiarity, rs we know exists amongst them
now. We know that natives as vet sound aud
free from leprosy, at least in appearance and
in their own irmest conviction, will eat and
drink from the same vessels as are used by
avowed lepers they exchange clothes, use the
same bedding, and enter into every sort of
domestic familiarity with them. This is the
notion and these the practises, which any real
friend of the Hawaiians will seek to root out,
and one who tries TO mirify the dangers and
dreodfulness of spreading leprosy, is the worst
of their enemies
hospital for the temporary or tentative
treatment Of suspected lepers, not in, but near,
Honoluu has been tried, and found to be an
expensive failure. Constant breaches of dis
cpline by patients and their friends, frequent
escapes of the former aided by the latter,
proved the scheme to be impracticabc, and it
was wisely given up. We recommend that
the money which it is proposed to spend in
building LEPER HOSPITAL IN Honolulu be
appropriated for improving the condition of
tie lepers on Molokai.
We learn, too, from this paper, hidden from
many readers as it is, by being printed in the
Hawaiian, but withheld from the English por-
ton Of the wednesday," that the Hon. W.
M. Gibson has proved his fitness for his posts
on the Board of Health;" that his book was
patrotically prepared with great care and
ability" that this is zone of the important
measures brought forward by the Hon. w. NJ.
Gibson, and advocated with all his ability !"
that Mr.. Gibson having himself "become n
member of the Beard, we may expect to see
good results" etc, etc.
1t is really too bad on the part of the hon.
gentleman to hide his :" bencon- light, oefense,
and fortress behind the screen Of the Ha-
waiian language, knowing. as he does, that
there are ga lot of foreigners, mostly without
votes" who do not read that language and it
is thus left to us to translate from, Gibsonese-
Hawaiian into plain English-a disagreeabe
task

THE SUBJECT of artesian wells has been be-
fore the Hawaiian public for long time. Re-
Gently tie question has been revived, and the
fact that water could bs got by boring was
proved by Mr.. James Campbell at Honouliali.
Since then, the same gentleman has struck
flowing well at Lime, Capt. Meek's old es-
tate These facts sre Of ipesli,nable value
to the present and prospective landed pro-
prietors Of tho Hawaiian Islands. Immense
tracts Of now useless land could by means of
these artisan wells become at once a source
of wealth. For instance, the well bored on the
premises OF Judge McCulIy, east of this city,
which reaches depth OF some AIS feet, and
800 barrels per hour, Of good, sweet, soft
water. 1t is q matter Of great interest to geo
iogists to know what we're the strata passed
through by the anger in the four hundred and
eighteen feet into the bowels Of the earth. We
are indebted to the very intelligent well-borer,
Mr.. r. W. Boyle for the following facts re-
specting the last mentioned boring: Prom

A CORRESPONDENCE from Kohala, Hawaii,

We HAVE been examining the prospectus Of
the new Board of Health as put forward in
the native portion of the Wednesday Express.
and putting aside at once, the laudatory, or ad-
vertising portion Of the article, set forth by
ono member ON behalf Of himself and his col
leagues. which constitutes its larger half, we
come to notice the propositions introduced as
novelties. 1t seems that the present Board
intend TO appoint special agent "to travel
among Ms people, 10 inspect and % regulate
sanitary matters in al the districts throughout
the Islands" Where this ubiquitous gentle
man will begin or end his journeyings over
his somewhat extensive inspectorato we are
curious to learn and moreover to what degree
his powers of "inspection aud regulation"
may extend, to what degree his domineering
powers Of entrance on :" the peoples" prem
ises may be exercised, and how far the laws
Will enforce the adoption Of the Recommended
tons of the ubiquitous inspector, we wait to
ascertain. The late Board had at their dis
posal the services Of one agent, and he, an able
and practical man. but who found his hands
more than full with tho needs OF the city of
Honolulu alone, without indiscriminate domi-
ciliary visits. Two inspectors may be better
than Que. but one for all the districts through
out the Islands is absardiy impIacticabe; and
If it could be done, would be only very crude
instance of grandmotherly government. Then
we have q fresh dose of self-laudation. The
next proposal 10 more important-ia fact, of
vital moment to the whole people. 1t runs

WE HEAR that very important suit will be

validity Of the sale of certain real estate by

opinion, but refer those who take interest in
tile matter to the volume entitled Laws of
His Majesty Kamehameha " passed by the
Legislative Assembly OF s6i-65," PIP. 60 CT
sequences, where may be found " An Act to re-
lieve the Royal Domain from encumbrances
and to render the same inaienable," and to
the Civil Code of 1859, where in PIP. 374 et
seq. is An Act relating to the lands of His
Majesty the King and of the Government the
preamble of which runs Thus 4" 'Vherers, it
hath pleased His Most Gracious Majesty
Kamehameha Ill, the King after reservng
certain lands to himself, as his own private
property, to surrender and forever make over
unto his Chiefs and People the quarter portion
of his Royal Domain" :" then follows long
schedule of lands retained "to be the private
lands Of His Majesty kamehameha Ill, to
have aud to hold to himself, his heirs, and
successors FOR ever and said lands shall be
regulated and disposed of according to his
royal will and pleasure, subject only to the
rights of tenants" Next comes lengthy
schedule of lands accepted in tho name of
the Chiefs and People of the Hawaiian
Islands" The question thus about to be
opened, will prove to be one weighted with
very important considerations.

clover as regular farm crop has
been growing until we have come to
a point at which we believe it to be
the farmers "mainstay." Because of
this belief, and because the time for
seeding it is about here, we devote
the greater portion of our space
this week to the reproduction of a
large number of paragraphs giving
the opinions and the ideas of many
of the best farmers of the country
upon the subject. For majority of
them we are indebted an annual call
