s CORRESPONDENT makes some remarks upon the
unduly heavy punishment, which imprisonment
with hard labor ON the roads, is to some who have
60 bear it. This inequality in punishment has
been a subject which has exercised the minds of
men for a long time we have seen the question
discussed in newspapers but have never seen
practical solution out of the difficulty. We quite
agree. however. with our correspondent that an
unnecessary amount of humiliation is laid on some
who daily have to pass in prison garb people with
whom they are well acquainted and this suggests
couple Of cases which are worth contrasting Drunk
snness is offence against the law as it stands in
tins country, and a man certainly deserves his
punishment of fine if he gets drunk. 1t may even
be necessary 10 restrain his liberty, 50 as to pre-
vent him from obtaining liquor. But drunkard,
even the most besotted. can hardly be regarded as
a criminal Of the same type as a would-be muir
derer, burglar thief we do not think it justice
thai the dIunkard should be condemned to walk in
the same gang and to be treated in the same man
nor as these. The duty of society with regard to
the drunkard is to reclaim rather than to punish
and to crush out all feeling of self respect in a
man by unnecessarily exposing him TO the gaze of
his fellows is Just the way drive him to seek OBJ
liyion in whislzey bottle as soon as his punish

shado tnccs can also be planted, and the place be
made one Of the prettiest about the city. We have

various parts Of the world, and have always in a

WHENEVER a good idea gets hold of our es-
teemed contemporary of the Adrefissr, it seems
to have peculiar and unfortunate effect upon
him Pearls evidently don't agree with him. The
diagnosis of his case is something like the follow
ing; first he regards himself as the originator and
main supporter of the good thing under discussion;
or If If be an evil he alone discovered. and showed
il up and be alone has sacrificed himself in trying
10 put it down Secondly our contemporary does not
hesitate to accuse the community at wholesale, or
individuals, of having been the wicked promoters
Of the public evil which he gallantly attacks, or of
being The still more wicked opponents of the public
good which he is laboring to accomplish All this
We say is unfortunate, not only for our con-
temporary personally, but for the public in
icrests for nothing is surer 70 keep people out of
a GOOD cause, than distrust of its advocates There
exists for instance, the great evil in the country
arising from disproportion of the sexes. Who
has doubted or denied this Who has not wished
i to be overcome? Our contemporary finds that
nearly everyone concerned in sugar plantations
has promoted this evil, simply to crafty the love
Of fl.hy lucre. And yet with all his quotations
trom his public remarks, we fail to find in his
record as a legislator that be ever originated

The smallpox which a week ago seemed TO
show signs Of absting has, during the last week,
appeared 10 have taken turn for the worse again.
We find that 81 cases have been reported since our
last issne. This warns US not TO be too sanguine
when there is a momentary lull in the disease. As
far as this city is concerned, presume there is
nothing to be done but to allow the disease to run
its course. snatching here victim, there victim,
though in the city and in the outskirts systematic
vaccination might we believe, even now do great
deal towards saving life but it to the uninfected
Islands TO windward that the greatest attention
should be turned. A slight relaxing Of the quar-
antne regulations little carolessness in allowing
an infected person to land one of the other
Islands, and we shall have the same ghastly drama
being played in Hawaii Maui we have had
here for the last two months and half 1t is Just
at the time that there seems TO be hope that the
greatest danger is incurred How many patient,
recovering from a severe illness, in which he has
been, as it were, snatched from the jaws of DEATH
loses his life by some slight imprudence during
his convalescence. II is Just such a slight i'm
prudence which we fear now for the windward
Islands, and we earnestly trust that the Govern
ment Will on account relax their vigilance until
they can feel themselves quite safe. We fully ap-
preciate the inconvenience and loss which our
present quarantine regulations entail upon GER
tain portion of our mercantile community, but the
lives of number of people must take precedence
of mere material gain, however hard material
losses may be to bear We would therefore urge that
every precaution should be taken in communi-
eating with the other Islands; that the strictest
quarantine be kept for some time to come; for if
smallpox does break out on Maui, Hawaii or
Molollai nov, assuredly the deaths that may occur
will lie at the door of those who have failed to do
their duty in confning the disease TO Oahu and
Kauai.
In connection with the above, we would point
out that there is still much TO be done on the
windward Islands in the way of vaccination. We
published last week the statementof a correspond
ent that the vaccination in Maui has been per
formed In a very unsatisfactory manner, and this
week we hear that though number of children
were vaccinated in the district of Kona, Hawaii
very limited number took and that practically
are unyaccinated. We think much good might be
done by the authorities if they sent vaccine matter
TO responsible lIymen in the more distant and un-
frequented parts of the island. Where bovine
virus is used there is really no need of medical
practitioner performing the operation, and we are
that resident in district would vaccinate
through il on his rounds. Moreover resident
would be able to visit and see the people be has
ayccinated, and thus make himself sure that the
operation has been successful

The Saturday Press does not understand the
various points of the Universal Postal Union, or it
never would have taken issue with us upon our
statement that the cost OF postage between here
and San Francisco would not be raised because in
our opinion the surtax for long sea voyage was
optional. This point which had occupied
attention of the committee for long time and it
was only after considerable pains that the conclu-
sion was arrived at which caused US to make the
statement which we did. That surtaxes are
optional TO the country of origin is evident from
the fact that the United States and Great Britain
charge none, but have uniform rate for all L. p.
L. countries, matter what the distance may be
or what the length of the sea voyage. On the
other hand many U. p .. countries avail themselves
of the permission of charging surtaxes when seud-
ing letters to the United States and a
list of these will be found in the January
number of the United States postal guide.
Again the charge from France to some of the
South American States according 10 Mr.. Martin
is seven ts while the charge from those states
to France is twelve cents. That Is France ayails
herself slightly, the South American republics
fWiiy of the permission to charge surtaxes. As to
the statement that if the condition of things we
indicated obtained, entering the Postal Union
would be grand financial success it is mere
nonsense. Glancing over the report of the com
mittee the Saturday Press will zee that such
idea can be sustained.

CHANGING over collection of steel engravings
on Sunday afternoon, we came upon the portrait
of Louvel, who, on the night of the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1870, murdered the Due de Berry, as he was
conducting his wife to her carriage after the opera
He was fanatical revolutionst, and had long
meditated some deed of violence against the
Bourbon family: choosing the Due de Berry for
his victim as he appeared most likely to carry
the Royal line. The murder resulted in the liberal
party losing control for nearly ten years, which is
a comment on the recent assassination IN st.
Petersburg. But there is another far more curious
circumstance about the affair. After the murder
of the Due de Berry in 1920, appeared pamphlet
by young man, NJ. Barthelmy Saint Hilairc;
which undertook 10 justify the deed Among the
letters of coincidence TO the Russian Imperial
family in this year 1881 we find the same sigma
ture, Barthelemy Saint Hilaire, appended to a
document which reprobates the deed of Russakoif.
A period of 81 years has elapsed. and what Saint
Hilaire attempted to paiate in his youth he views
with different eyes in his old age.

Ne Lea that the Japanege Goyernment propose

We hear that the japanese Government propose
giving Royal reception TO the Ali Kalakaua; if
they are allowed to carry out their programme, it
will be unfortunate, but we have no right at
present to assume that the Ali will consent to
drop his incognito When we have heard what
has really occurred We may begin TO complain.
We cannot understand how 1t is that the japanese
Government have displayed such bad taste as to
offer Royal welcome TO a visitor who desires to
travel incognito. The mistake certainly does not
lie on our side. for Consul at Japan had been
specially notified of the manner in which the King
was travelling: and he laid his letter before the
japanese Foreign Minister. We will however,
