Naming the Beast.

"Dr. Buckle, of the London Asylum, believes
Guiteau to be in full possession of his men
tai faculties, but a moral idiot, incapable of
feeling or affection and utterly destitute of
conscience, and says he should be killed at
once, like mad dog, as he is dangerous to
be at large"
The above is q dispatch referred to
Dr. Strong. of the Newburg Asylum,
asking his opinion, which was, in brief,
as follows:
He thinks him mentally unsound and
morally defective-destitute Of common
sense, but legally responsible. He fur
ther describes this animal Supreme ego
tism, inordinate self love, and over-esti-
mate of his own Importance and capabIl-
tiles, and says that after his constant
pursuit of one absurdity after another,
and never having been restrained, q
man possessed of his ratural tendencies
may be expected to commit some horrible
deed. DR.. Strong agrees with the opin-
ion, expressed quite universally, that
criminals who escape capital punishment
on a plea of insanity should be confined
in separate asylums, kept at hard labor,
and have such fare that their confinement
will not be luxury.
We are sorry that these moral idiots
at first supposed, but here and there they
grow, often like an excrescence, on some
very respectable family trees.
Every teacher of wide observation has
found some peculiarly constituted and
unfortunate beings, more unfortunate for
society than for themselves. There are
some peculisrities of disposition that,
allowed to grow, are so murderous in
their effects upon society that ''heroic
treatment" is justiisble in eradicating
them early, if possible. Some of these
instinct are cruelty to animals lack Of
tenderness for the young and the help
less want of family affection; dispo-
sition to negelct the aged and ridicule
and tyrannize over the crippled and un-
fortunate extreme selfshness and greed
in appropriating whatever will minister
to their gross appetites or their vanity /;
and an INSCRIPTIONS lawlessness and
disposition to take advantage in all
Transactions with others, with utter lack
of conscientiousness, and want of shame
after being convicted of wrong-doing.
These qualities are sometimes combined
with ordinary intellectual ability and
desire to be ranked with the intellectual
and good. with great shrewdness in the
art of assembling, and q most innocent
bearing. These persons are often fas-
tidious, always indolent, with an invari-
able tendency to gluttony and "spong-
ing" Convinced that the world owes
them the most comfortable places and
the best things, they do not wait to be
elected to them by popular choice.
There are too many such as We have
described, who just escape being housed
with the eieeble-minded, and whose phys
ical energies may never gather sufficient
impetus to land them in the penitentiary
or on the scaffold, but who are, never
theless, dangerous for the slight hindran-
ces to crime and the positive evil pro-
pensities of their disordere5' end un-
healthy minds.

suddenly discover in hin brother; they
apologize for him. they defend him, they
sympathize with him, and, while yet a
great wayaoff, they run to met him and
to take him in their arms in loving en-

marks of incipient Democracy, and they
call 20 him. .sCome home, brother, come

many years these same men have in
their estimation represented everything
that was vile and mean in politics. 1t is
all right, however. We can spare them
and the Democracy needs them.

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SIR,-The newspapers of the day-parucularly
NO Of them-are frequent and free in giving ex-
ressiou to the as,ouIshment their editors feel at the
.isposiiiou Of the native people to conceal the exis-
snce of smallpox in their families. At the same
ime. we are told in as mid and gentle a manner as
ossible Of the reugh.-not TO say barbarous manner
n which sick people are conveyed together with
ofius) to the hospital across the water. The con-
ition Of the mius has 4 vast deal 10 do with that oil
he body. Let Us suppose one OF ourselves as
ttacked by the dreai disease, and taken away from
imily aud home Be it ever so humble, there's
20 place like home '-transported in the open
Sag,u over rocks, ruts and mud fats at n break
reck pace, and left to the care of strangers. Without
.etracting in the least from the need Of praise due
the Board Of Health aud the heads of police In the
discharge of the ouerous duties that have devolved
upon them, it would nevertheless seem from the very
many reports that are abroad, that the work Of sub
ordinates connected with the service needs closer
looking after. Aud i'm view of the native character,
il is no wonder that they are mis-trustiul, an 1
dread the separation from family and friends whom
they conclude that they are not likely to see again.
Dickens description of Betty Higien IN Our
Mutual Friend - may here he quoted appositely
ITO conceal herself in sickness, like n lower ami
nal to creep out of sight and coil herself away and
die, had become this woman's instinct. To catch up
10 her arms the sick child who was dear to her, and
hide it rs if it were a criminal, and keep oil all
ministration but such as her own ignorant tender
ness and patience could supply. Lad become this
WOman's idea of maternal love, fidelity and duty.
The shameful accounts We read, every week in the
Christian year. my lords and gentlemen and honor
able boards, the infamous records Of small official
inhumanity do not pass by the people as they pass
by ~. And hence, these irrational, blind and OBJ
siiuate prejudices, so astonishing to our magnih-
cence. and having no more reason in them,-God

although q personal appeal was made direct TO the
Board Of Health. Within other guaranteed premi-
ses. and within sight Of the former. a clergyman
land not q priest either is admitted whenever he
wishes it, Oh, consistency. thou art a jewel"
In the former case. the reason Of the denial was
strongly suspected TO be owing to the lore and good
triH. between the person desiring admittance and
the gsHuemGn and taisnted physician. whose word
seems 10 be Law in such matters. My respect for
bigoted and narrow minded people is very limited,
whether they be officials or Otherwise.
Again In the former case tie regular police (o /
am %infOrmed) we're required to watch the extra police
stationed at the place quarantined-as though the
inmates were criminals aud expected 70 bride the
uatchman TO let them pass.
At any rate a policeman in his eagerness to make
out a case" falsely reported, seeing persons enter
his guaranteed enclosure, but, Of course being
unable to verify IL the matter Was dropped, though
causing much annoyance to the inmates. Later the
Government DOCTOR 10 assert his authority, | suppose,
reported the Waterman for allowing the native
servant girl 10 90 within twelve feet(by m~easuremen)
/ Of the street fence, and this upon the eighteenth day
OF quarantine While within the Guaranteed premi-
ses before spoken Of, natives have been seen re-
peatedly standing on the fence by the street. IL may
be mentioned that the latter premises were not folly
I quarantiue1 until about two weeks, after four C ses

people, Ct am not speaking Of natiSes) secre'e their

I would not have complained Of the time quaran-
tined 1.-THE writer being the unwilling cause had It
been PROMPTLY removed At the expiration Of
tweniy-on- days. rs in all other cases. La this
connection the Board seem 10 have little regard Tor
the rights Of Otbers 10 say nothing OF justice
I do not criticise the motives Of the Board OF
Heilt,. doubtless they were praisewOrthy, but their
ac;s certainly have been unjust aud deserve cen-ure.
I do not complain Of the law, let it be enforced by
all means, but let there be fair play there has
teen too much one sided justice.
The old udsge . What rs sauce for the goose l.

Ia conclusion let me ask, If it IL not the duty that
the Government owes TO the public, to employ n
sufficient number OF capable physicians. that will

gentlemlnly manner those that hav, some regard
for the rights and feelings Of those so unfortunate as

To The Eii'Or Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser ::
Smallpox is a contagious disease that is, il is
communicable from one individual to another, by
actual contact or touch, and also by contact with
clothing especially wOolen) that has been used by a
often deemed mysterious, where close enquiry can
establish no proof that it is the result of any such
contact with persons or clothing but if it be fact
that the disease can only be proPagated BY contqgion
aud not by infection. there must have been a con-
tact with something containing the poison.
These thoughts occurred to me the other evening
after a short conversation with an intelligent native
Hawaiian. l had observed him vigorously throwing
stones at a cat that was attempting to enter at his
open door, wherein on 1 remarked that a cat was a
nice household pet, and useful as a destroyer of
mice. He replied That may be very true: but
this cat belongs to my ueigbbor across the way,
upon whose gateway yOu see is displayed the yellow
hIg. Now We are told By those who are supposed to
know, that the smallpox coDtagion is often conveyed
to well people by handling wooden clothing that has
been used by a sick person, This cat has a wooden
coat (huiuhuiu). aud may have been fondled by a
wherever she roams, as cats are wont to DO, at
night"
IL struck me that there was some sense in this
While cats and dogs-of which there are ger erally
numbers to be found in and about every natives
premi=es-may not be liable to the disease. it is rea-
sonabIe to suppose that they may carry the seeds of
conrsgion about with them. And therefore il would
seem to be a wise policy. whenever a household is
qulrautined, to see that the taboo applies to the
family quadrupeds as well as bipeds.
