REPUBLICATION AND DEMoC-
RACY $3.50


The contrast between the two lead
ing political parties Of this country is
striking and remarkable. Indeed,
80 widely different are the ante
cedents of the two, and so unlike are
the aims and objects for which each
one strives, that it is not difficult for
the intelligent foreigner and the edu-
Gated youth of the land, to see, at a
glance which one is the party of edu-
cation, liberty and patriotism, and
which one is the exponent of
ignorance, sectionalism, race-hatred
and disloyalty.. This is demonstrated
by the fact that the more intelligent
portion of the foreign element is al
ways found in the Republican ranks;
and the schools of the North are
universally known as hot-beds Of Re-
publicanism. 81
The Republican party originated
in the love of Justice, fair play and
national honor, so peculiar to New
England and the North; while the
Democratic party was conceived in
ignorance and depravity, brought
forth in hatred, prejudice and ma
tional shame, and nourished in cor
ruption, slavery, mobocracy and
treason. Such, briefly stated, are the
origins of the two organizations now
claiming the public ear One, the
Republican, is the representative OF
all that is good, noble, generous, and
progressive in our national history;
the other, the Democratic, is synono-
nous with all that is bad, vicious, dis
graceful and retrogressive in the
Nations history. The former
destroyed an iniquitous rebellion,
emancipated four million slaves, and
made us the foremost Nation of earth
The latter opposed the emancipation
of these slaves and labored to break
up the Union into insignificant frag-
ments. The Republican party took
hold of our financial affairs when they
were on the verge of ruin, through
Democratic ignorance, incompetency
and dishonesty, and not only restored
confidence and business security, but
gave us The best monetary system
the world ever saw. The Democratic
party not only opposed the Republi-
can measures for the financial safety
of the Nation, but prophesied the
Nations ruin through them. 1t now
comes forward, however, with brazen
impudence and claims the credit for
these measures. Finally the Repub-
lican party reconstructed the late
slave States, making every man,
black and white, stand up before the
law as an equal But the Democratic
party, like an omen of ill fortune
rises up in the South and destroys
this equality, and in its stead raises
up the hideous, bloody, and implaca-
BILE solid South, to trample upon and
blot out the personal and political
rights of four million people.
This is the history of the two par.
ties. 1t is between these two that
we must choose in the coming election.
We know that large majority OF
the people of this country are Re-
publicans, but through the suppress
sion of free ballot in the South,
there is danger if patriots of the North
are not on guard, that the national
government may be stolen by the
mobocrats of the South. Let every
Republican, white and black, do his
duty, and the old ship of State will
anchor safely in the Republican
haven, where success, prosperity,
and National glory await her.

On Friday evening, the Oath inst, a COM
pany of persons composed mainly of the
members of Browns Chapel A. NJ. T..
Church, gave their pastor, DR.. r. g.
Mortimer, very pleasant surprise, at his
residence, 800 Park avenue. Aside from a
large quantity of provisions, they brought
several articles of clothing for himself, wife
and little ones. Among the most valuable
things was barrel of flour, from our school
teachers. The presentation speech was
made by Miss Matte E. Peyton, who as
sured the pastor that the members of his
flock desired to pay him well, and also to
give him occasional surprise, etc. The ad.
dress was well worded and received. The
Doctor replied briefly, thanking the friends
for their kindness. Ice cream and cake
were in order, and the company had gen.
eral good time.

. 1t is thought that about 10000 were in
Findley, on the %, to witness the celebra-

The procession paraded the principal
streets and then marched to the Fair grounds
where speeches were made by NJ mister, j.
M. Langston, Hon. Geo. Williams, Rev.
Pointdexter, of Columbus, and Solomon
Day, Esq.
An immense crowd listened attentively to
these addresses. The speeches of Langston
and Williams being especially good. Let

grand ball was given at Wheeler's Hall,
the music for which was furnished by the
Excelsior orchestra of Cleveland. 1t also
! furnished music in the same hall on the fol-
lowing evening. Many were the compli-

on their appearance, and also their music
was highly praised. Notwithstanding the

yer, a condition of things which the importa-
tion,sf coins not worth 100 cents on dollar
has for the time reversed.
Our exports to San Francisco are payableN
United States gold, every dollar of which
is worth here l03 cents. The proceeds come
back to us in imports, and in coin of which no
dollar is worth 100 cents in gold value. Our
exports last year exceeded our imports by
S3s, 1888. which, added to the Sl60,500 spe-
Gle brought here, make SI99,239.5s. At one
half of one per cent. the expense of bringing
that here was S9s6.l9. If that money was
in silver coins worth on an average 81 cents
to the dollar, the profit was S7,969.5S. Is 1t
"senseless twaddle," or envy of others profits,
to say that we prefer the full value of the
money which belongs to US? If five silver
dollars worth $50 cents in gold are as good as
one gold half eagle worth 500 cents, because
they can be used as counters, why not as
well use pesos, putty, cowrles or " clam
shells?" No sudden return need be made to
our former currency of full value, for that
would cause distress but if, after due notice,
a law were made aud enforced, that silver shall
be legal tender for debts up to ten dollars, and
United States gold for all above that amount,
gold instead of silver would be brought here.
The gold boarded in the treasury could be
trusted to go into circulation if such law
were passed, and it cannot be put in circua-
ton until there is such law, for not only the
Chinese, but astute Caucasians would at once
make their profit by exporting it And yet no
one supposes that the Treasury can always
carry several hundred thousand dollars in gold
in its vaults. Let the daylight into this whole
subject, and let us see on which side lie the
twaddle" " and "nonsense.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH FOR FEBRUARY.
We are indebted to the courtesy of His Excel
lency S. G. Wilder, President of the Board of
Health for the above report also for the mortuary
table for the period. 1t will be observed that
there is a marked decrease in the death rate over
the month of January of this year, and also over
that of the month of February, 1879.
HEALTH OFFICE, Honolulu, Feb. %, 1880.
His Excellency S. G. WILDER, President Board
of Health: SRI rejoice in being able to report
the health of the town steadily improving. AL
though the weather during the month has been for
the most part severe, the trade wind has been
steady and uninterrupted, and to this claim be-
longs much of the credit of the steady improve
ment The death record shows great improve
ment, not only in the number of deaths reported
but the cause of death has not been of that class
usually considered preventable.
| The cleaning of the streets has become matter
Of so much consequence that householders look
fstreet what rubbish may have accumulated, and
since the invitation extended to them during De
cember last, they expect to have their rubbish
moved for them.
l think this is better than to have it remain an
indefinite time causing complaints from neighbors
and may be fevers, but one cart cannot clean the
streets as fast as rubbish is deposited, and many
allowed to remain uncleaned longer than
could wish, for this reason would ask for another
caH, and divide the town in two sections by which
means l could hope to keep the streets compara-
lively clear of rubbish.
have closed up fourteen old vaults and three
cesspools, which considered prejudicial to health
Five privy vaults have been constructed.
have conveyed to the Hospital eight sick and
INDECENT natives.
the more ignorant natives, and shall in my report
at the end of March make some suggestions which
if acted upon, hope will, in degree at least
induce the people TO accept proper medical care.
