We have read with pleasure this interesting
book of 3l9 pages. We have had some glimpses
OF the South American Ultima Thulr, and of Del
Fuegan folks, from Darwin and Bourne but the
Hilo missionary Father makes US quite at home

EAST INDIANS Oh CHINESE ?

Really the labor question settles itself
into these words. Other sources of supply
cannot be relied upon,-but China and In
dia are i~nexhaustible. Labor will come
because supply always follows up demand
even if it be occasionally laggard on the
way. We cannot however afford to wait
until labor filters through the ordinary
channels on to our plantations. The pinch
is seriously felt and the Government mus
be active in putting an end to it. What
choice then are we to make? Does it mat
ter at all whether we go to China or to In
dia for labor? We think it matters a great
deal. Importations of male Chinese do not
give us permanent inhabitants. It is not
only laborers we want but permanent set
tiers, families from which we can derive
future labor. Now in connection with East
Indian immigration to other countries, we
ave it on evidence that something like a
third part of the immigrants nave been
women The consequence is that in Dem
erara and Trinidad we see considerable
Indian colonies permanently settled, FORM

A INDIAN COOLIES.

1t is not sufficient that a market has, by
the aid of the Reciprocity Treaty, been
secured for our sugars if we cannot procure
labor for our plantations at a price that
will enable us to compete in that market
with other producing countries. AS things
stand, although so favorably situated both
by remission of duties and by proximity to
the American coast, we can barely do more
than hold our own with the distant Mauri-
thus and with the PHILIPPINE Islands. Too
intent on the one question of finding a mar
ket we nave neglected the matter of labor
supply. The disadvantages resulting from
this course have been felt all along, but
now they are becoming actually oppressive.
1t has indeed come to this that the produc-
ton of sugar on these stands is limited not
by the extent of suitable land, nor by the
amount of capital which men are disposed
to invest in sugar planting, but wholly by
the available amount of abor. Whence is
our help in this straight to come? The
number of laborers actually wanted now is
stated at from 1000 to $500. We have hopes
that a small contingent will be secured
from the South Sea Islands and elsewhere,
but it is a fact hat at this moment it is
mainly to China that the eyes of the plant
ers are turned with expectation of relief to
the labor market. And this happens in a
community which already feels that there
are too many Cinnamon on the Islands for
our social and moral welfare. Men who
are in strong sympathy with the prevalent
sentiment on the Chinese question in the
Pacific States of America are yet ready to
enter into contracts to give employment to
a large number of Cinnamon, if some one
will but bring them here. In the one con
sideration how to get labor grave matters
are lost sight of; the social question, the
moral question, the angry feeling which is
being aroused in California because we ap-
pear SO anxious to encourage what they are
so anxious to get rid of. The proper RENE
dy for this anomalous state of things is to
reopen the negotiations for obtaining
coolie labor from India. This source of
supply would have been open to us long
ago, but that some men who had influence
and authority set their foot on it. 1t is to
these men we owe the fact that we are de-
pendent or Chinese labor, are signing for
Chinese labor, are actually Offering boun-
ties to those who will bring us Chinese
laborers, and so are calling down on our
heads anathemas from our nearest neigh
bors the people of California, who ought to
be our best and most useful friends. To
show that it was the influence of a few men
only that shut us off from a supply of coolie
labor, We reprint petitions on the subject
presented to His Majesty and his late Min
listers not a year age, together with the
names of those who signed the documents.
These are so numerous that the conviction
is forced on us, that it was only a very
small minority of the community which
was represented by the Government of the
day when it treated these petitions with
contempt.

ing a peaceable and valuable element IN
the population. Nowhere has the question
of excessive importation of males more I'M
p~ortance thar in this kingdom. The last
census told us hat in a population of 5S,OOO
there were upwards of 10000 males more
thar females, and hat isproportion is now
increased to about 1900. The immigra-
ton since the census was taken has made
things worse instead of better. The habit
of the Chinese to come without their
women ought without considering any
other of the objections which are so preva-
Ient) to be sufficient to turn the scale and
decide the Government to enter at once
into negotiations to secure East India cooiie
labor for these islands. To which we may
add that this is a matter in which it well
becomes us to pay some Difference to the
strong feeling which exists among our
nearest neighbors on the American CONT

The most difficult question that the
Government of this kingdom have to deal
with is the seclusion of lepers. To condemn
a fellow being to the doom of a leper in
wolves a heavier responsibility han there
is in sending him to his death, because it
is indeed to a "living tomb" that the un-
fortunate is consigned. Hence strong feel
ings when the subject Of removing a sus-
pected, or even confirmed, leper from his
family arises hence also strong reluctance
to enforce the law If loophole can be seen,
or can, by shutting the eyes be created.
Yet, the non-enforcement of the law is a
crying evil I; and if, by medication of
methods, better results in that direction
can be secured, a very good thing will have
been done. What is required is a hospital
of detention for suspected lepers, where
they may be treated with care, and remain
in a measure accessible to their friends and
relatives previous to their removal to the
Molokai settlement, If that course be proved
necessary. It is only When this dread
disease is too manifestly confirmed that
the sentence of Punishment should be en-
forced. Meanwhile, the pain of the final
separation will nave been broken, and the
inevitable will be acquiesced in with less
reluctance and despairing cutlery. In a
hospital of detention, all the possibilities
of cure for early symptoms will have fair
play. Hopeful friends will, on that account,
assist the patient to enter the hospital
rather than, as now, throw every obstacle in
the way. In the hospital the regulations
must be stringent in both directions. There
must be no going way /; no mingling with
the healthy /; but patients may, neverthe-
less, be in near communication with their
friends. Moreover, it should be laid down
as an invariable law on the fulflment of
which all could rely that noone shall be con-
demned as a hopeless leper until after long
treatment by the medical committee of the
hospital, with whom should rest the final
verdict on ZACH case. %
We shall make earnest appeals through
the columns of the Express, published by
us in the Hawaiian language, to the native
people to appreciate this grave matter in a
proper light, and to cooperate with the
who are animated by a spirit
of love for the welfare of the whole people.

The NEW BOARD OF HEALTH have a great duty
before them, and we intend to try and keep the
members to their work. They are on trial, and
must prove whether the Board can get along bet
ter without doctors, than with, as a part of its
constituency. The new Board fully ap-
'preciates this expectation and we understand
that they declare in advance, that they want
to offer a wider field to medical skill, than was
permitted under the late regime. The new
Board is regarded as . business body for the ad-
ministration of sanitary affairs. that will hasten
to seek the best skill of all p~ractises, so as to
constitute an assisting Medical Board to look af-

Now we believe that the condition of the
plantations at this time, makes such a proposal,
or application a necessity. Our great industry
at this time, is in a backward, if not a crippled
state, for the want of sufficient hands to carry
on the pressing work of the planters. No new
tillage can be undertaken, and even the matured
or maturing crop in certain districts cannot be
harvested, and the export of our staple will fall
short of what it ought to be, for the want OF
working plantation men.
Thus we see that the planters want more
Chinese ; because hands are needed, and the
hopes from Portuguese, or South Sea recruits are
not well assured, and even when these recruits
come, they are not so Immediately available, and
economical, as the contract Chinaman.
We think that the planters are to blame in not
having combined and co-operated with the Gov
eminent in years past, for obtaining immigrants
from various eligible quarters, so as to have OBJ
waited the necessity of the present pressing
necessity for available labor. And don't any
one say, that the opposition to the late highly
lamented Ministry. are solely responsible for the
Chinese boom IN Hawaii mel ; because a member
of the late Ministry strongly advocated the
Chinese opium license bill, and the China Mer-
chants Steamship Line subsidy and the two
Foreign Ministers strongly opposed the Rhodes
bill to restrict Chinese male immigration; al
though it is true, one of these gentlemen, did after
wards frame a modified measure for the ~restric-
ton of a certain Asiatic male immigration. And
the Premier of that Ministry, and the President
of the then Board of Trade. advocated in a report
the free practise of Chinese medicos, and advoca-
ted q bin which gives to the Chinese doctor, or
quack as it may be, unrestricted practise not only
among Chinese, but kanakas and haoles alike.
Although the petition of the Chinese, was only
that their practitioners might be allowed to prac-
tise among their own co~untrymen. We are not
attaching blame for this iiberality towards the
Chinese medico. whose practise is associated with
enormous increase at home, but merely mention it
with other things to show, who are responsible
for the Chinese boom and who are the parties
who want more Chinese Wednesday Express.

latest results of scientific and practical in

not. This report suggests a modified system
which may prove applicable to this city.
If so it has the qualifications Of good sani-
