The Hindu Coolie lovers are after Mr..
Armstrong; report with what is vulgarly
called a sharp stick The Ad1erttser de-
votes column of editorial to the matter,
and correspondent whose name and ma
tionality are not difficult to guess devotes
nearly two columns to the same subject.
ar" writes as everyone expected he
would, his opinions upon the Hindu Coohe
question are very extreme, and to have a
doubt about the desirability of the Indian
Coolie has ever been regarded by him as
little short of treason to the State.
The Adreriser brings forward as argyll
ment, first, that the Commissioner of I'M
migration made too hasty visit to India to
understand the question. Secondly, that
the planters of lahore desire Coolie labor.
We learn for the first time that when en-
vows are sent abroad to obtain informa-
tion, it is usual TO expect that they should
spend a lifetime in country before
they can report. Facilities We're placed at
Mr.. Armstrong's disposal to acquire in
formation about the Coolie emigration.
He came into personal contact with n man,
Dr. Grant, who was thoroughly conver-
SAINT with all matters connected with
Hindu Coolie immigration, and it certainly
ought not to have taken him very long to
have drawn from Dr. Grant all the in
formation required. However, we now
understand that any ENJOYS who are sent
in future will be paid a handsome salary
during the remainder of their natural
lives. both of which 1. {. salary and life)
they will spend in Hindustan; their reports
viii be made on their death beds and for
wasded to the Hawaiian Government
along with their wills; positions of this
kind will doubtless be eagerly sought for
by the Patriotic and Self sacrificing.
The second argument, that Hindus are
considered desirable in lahore, is not
pertinent to the subject in question. CAT
fres are considered desirable laborers at
the Cape, an excellent reason for at once
trying to enter into negotiations with the
Cape Government for few ship loads OF
Cafires. The Irish are sought after as
field labors in England, let rs have two or
three ship loads OF Irishmen.
We have no feeling one way or other
upon the Hindu Coolie question, all we
desire Is to have good laborers. The in
formation which has been brought here
on two occasions has been unfavorable,
has brought out points III answer to ques-
tons which have been asked here for a
considerable time, at the same time there
are others which can be asked and which
if satisfactorily answered might very pos
sibly mitigate the unfayorable view.
One of the main points in the objection to
Hindu immigrants has always been to our
mind the question of making special laws
thinking the matter out and making en-
quires, however, we found that after all,
there was really a very vague idea as to
what these alterations might be. We

The p. C. A. gracefully crawfishes out OF
its statements about the Norwcgians. A
couple of issues ago some very severe
structures were made upon the manner
in which the hardy Norsemen had been
treated, and the way they had been dis
tributed to their employers, in fact it wrote
an article playing nicely and CAREFUL!
into the hands of the San Franciscc
Chronicle. On Saturday we have an article
blowing the other way there had been
some interview, or communication between
the editor of the p. &. i. and Messrs.
Castle q Cooke, most probably; an ex-
cuse is found for the rapid distribution OF
the immigrants, because small pox was
existing at the time far from there having
been no doctor on either ship, there had
been a doctor on both. Then, having read
the note in the Gazette of last week, refer
ring to the information which MIR. Alex
ander obtained while in Drammen, that
the Norwegians here had sent favorable
reports home, this was thrownin as little
sweetener to the whole, and we have an
article in which importers, employees,
and immigrants all appear to be just a
little. oaly little lower than the angels.
But our mercantile and planting friends
must remember that any one desirous OF
vilifying the islands will draw from the
first article published, and viii utterly
ignore the refutation in the second.

Ok Saturday last at l PM, the lepers in
this city and vicinity were collected to-
gether at the Station House. They num-
bered about forty; some were from the
other islands en- route to Molokai. Mr.
Garter and DIR. Fitch inspected each per
son; Mr.. Armstrong was present; as the
people came forward it was evident that
there We're In many instances, compIca-
ton Of diseases, many had syphilis ii It's
aggravated shape; many had leprosy IN
its early stages, some had 1t IN its per
manent forms. The idea of the leprosy
hospital, which opened on Saturday, is
this: to treat cases of supposed leprosy
until it is determined finally whether a
cure is possible or not No doubt the
doctors generally consider this movement
foolish one. 1T is quite possible and
even probable that leprosy is incurable.
But there is some "human nature in this
business. The people who go to Mololiai
are put into exile-it is virtual punishment
1t is pitable to watch their sad faces as
they await the fat of authority. These
people and their friends are hoping against
hope-so do all of u.s. They feel that some
new medical treatment will bring cure;
no doubt they are mistaken. But they
can be handled efficiently and tenderly. 1t
is a question of suaUiter IN modo. Keep a
patient in the hospital for few weeks and
he and his friends can be educated up
to point of a willing departure for Mo
lolai. Kind treatment Will bring out the
hidden cases which are now spreading the
disease through the country. The ex-
pense of the new system is not great; it
should be generously met in the Legis-

the experienced and learned Judge Pear
son, lately granted just such q charter. But
the constitution and act of 29th Of April,
1879. clearly authorize charters Of the kind
condemned in said article. 1t is manifest
that such corporations may be productive OF
much good, if honestly conducted. As
multitudes have experienced and know
how important and productive of domestic
comfort and happiness it is to have a few
hundred dollars when commencing house
keeping. And why the writer of the said
article or judge should compare a char
ter to aid parties when commencing mar
ried life with the so called speculative
life insurance plaus, must be unaccount-
able to every reasonable mind. We
think, the opinion Of the Press to the con-
trary, that there is abundant warrant
in the constitution and the laws for the
action in the premises Of the Lancaster
county and the Dauphin county courts.

Wanta to Know.

Editors Mtenigencer have read with
great interest the valuable paper written
by our distinguished townsmau and nat
uralist, DR.. s. s. Rathvon, upon the char
acter and habits of the bat, printed in your
issue of Tuesday evening. Ono point to
which no allusiOn is made in the doctors
contribution, though mentioned by his
correspondent, is as to tho reason why
people invariably seek to protect their
heads upon the appearance of bat ut
close range. The general belief is enter
tanned by people that if one Of these night
flying animals should happen to alight on
the head of an unfortunate wight, it would
be impossible to loosen its hold upon the
hair, and that it would be necessary to
shave the scalp to get rid Of it. Then there
is another very prevalent impression that
bats carry nOxiOus vermin concealed under
their wings, and that their malign habit
upon invading tho precincts of the tidy
housewife is to deposit bed-bugs and
things around the premises. don't know
whether either of these impressions is
correct. Will some one please rise and
explain IGNORAMUs.

Lovely In OtSegO.

And now it is proposed to put the pole
cat upon the list of preserved game.
Whoever would have thought that this
interesting creature had a use for man
outside his hide? Yet 4 very excellent
one has been found for him in New
York. We fear the enthusiasm which
induced a legislator Of that state to claim
the unanimous passage of bill forbid
ding the destruction of the skunk, was
little too exalted /; his discovery of the
beneficence of this despised animal to
the human race is somewhat too sudden
to be ut once accepted. Like the comet.
it is Il thing upon which judgement may
advantagcOusly be suspended for while.
It appears that the hOp-growers Of Otsego
county think they have discovered that
the skunk destroys the large grub
which destroys their vines they
say he comes out at night and consumes
these insects by millions. A visiting
skunk is worth to the farmer, he de-
clares, fifty dollars season, and under
that conviction he is in fever of excite.
ment over the possibility Of skunk ex-
tinctiOn. If our Lancaster county farm
ers could find an animal that would de-
stroy the tobacco grubs and worms they
would love the creature with an adora-
tion of idOlatry that would find a pleas
ant perfume in his OdOr, though he
should Ike a polecat. There is nothing
like the pocket to control the senses. Sut
if the OtsegO farmers love the polecat SO,
they hardly need a legislative enactment
to protect him. The hop interest will
suffice to put skunk in every hole in
the county and to spread the enchanting
creature over the whole country around.
We wonder, anyway, whether every
animal has not its use and whether we
would not he better off if we saved them
all. It is hard to see the particular use
of mosquito, but after finding one for
a skunk we do not despair of any other
creature.

Gov. Hoyt is the most intelligent gov
ernor we have had for q long while
which is not, it is true, saying anything
very extravagant in praise of his mental
strength in view of the fact that his pre-
decessors were Geary and Hartranft
miserable legacies of the war and its
froth of brainless soldiers. Gov. Hoyt
has been showing a creditable degree of
independence lately, and disposition to
follow his sound convictions. His vetoes,
80 far as we have observed them, have
been we'll founded. 1t is really surprising
how many foolish acts got through the
legislature; and knowing how little
legislation is really beneficial, it
is almost safe to applaud veto
without reading. it The govern
or and his attorney general have been at
issue with the legislature on general
principles, and so have the people. The
shameless attempt of the legislators to
grab salary they never decently earned
has excited general disgust and the at
torney general could not have said any
thing more in sympathy with public
feeling than to denOunce the cOntempti-
BILE conduct of men who undertake to
make laws to enhance public morality
and decency, while exhibiting themselves
as grasping unlimited railroad passes,
postage stamps, stationery and dollars
for their miserable services. Any kick
at that legislature or veto of its bills the
people will blindly approve.
