liz our article on Cabinet Ministers last
week we set forth the unhappy position
of the holders of the really most important
Offices in the Kingdom. To-day we desire
to refer to that article, and in particular,
to the I" trouble Cabinet Minister has in
the lack of outside support: the man feels
little or no backing to his acts"
Let us consider this matter a little. 1t
is highly important one, for it lies at the
root of many serious political difficulties
in Hawaii nei In discussing the relation
of the Cabinet to the publicsin Consti-
tutional Monarchy we naturally turn to
Great Britain for instruction. How is the
Cabinet appointed there? 1t Is virtually
appointed by the portion of the House Of
Commons which has the widest popular
support. No Cabinet can stand for a
month which has not this support; and
the Queen would never for moment

The news of President Garfeld's health,
received by the Zealaniid on Sunday morn
ing, confirms the forebodings which have
been present in so many minds for the past
few days. The newspaper reports received
by the sailing vessels of last week were IN
the main hopeful; but from the reports of
passengers, 1t seemed as If the public at
large had considerable doubts as to the
truth of the statements Our latest intel
igence Is dated August 18th, Just as the
steamer left. A report came down that
the President was dead, but a later report
stated he was better We very much fear
that "better" is only relative term; that
there really Is very little chance of recov-
cry. Still there Is, even IN the most des-
perate cases, hope, and there is no use in
giving way to dependency as long as life
lasts. This the doctors, under whose care
the President is, seem to realize. Dr.
Bliss continues very hopeful. He seems
to think that the Presidents strength OF
constitution will enable him to hold out
until the effects Of the blood poisoning are
counteracted. We sincerely trust the doc
tor may be right The Presidents life IS
q most important one for the good of his
country. There are grave complications
ahead for the Great Republic should he
die. Even we, in our little Island com
munity, would feel very seriously the loss
Of President Garfield. 1t is almost impos-
sible to foretell what would be the Cabinet
changes. or if not changes of men, what
would be the changes Of policy, upon the
death of the President. There are serious
questions touching us very nearly, which
have occupied the attention of the Cabinet
of the United States lately. We know
how these questions have been viewed,
but we by no means know how they would
be viewed in the event of President Gar
fields death But putting all local hopes
and fears aside, we are sure that, per
sonally, every one feels really interested
in the recovery. The President is man
of such great promise-such a strong man
that all thinking people, whether citi-
zens of the United States or subjects of
other nations, will unite in hoping that
the fatal day has been avoided, and that
the melancholy representations which
have been freely made may prove com
pletely false.

Mr.. HaIienbecI1's Services.

Mr.. Hallenbeck closed his very successful lsbors
on Monday night by holding a song and praise ser
vice. During the week fast he las worked with
unabated vigor. Oh 1Lufsdsy last he was assisted
by MIR. A. Pratt. lie selected for hie text on
Friday evening. LAY not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth he urged ali those pos
sessed OF wealth, to aid Gods work. BE alluded
TO the comparatively small amount OF money col
lected on that dayat the laying of the foundation
stone of KaumakApili church.
He devoted Sunday morning to the Sunday
school children and in the afternoon he conducted
the meeting at the Lyceum, assisted by the Rev. w
J. Smith Of the Tabernacle, San Francisco. This
gentleman who had Just arrived in the city intro
duced himself in a fraternal address to the breth-
rem and be also took an active part in Fort Street
church evening service by delivering an eloquent
address on the words of the Psalmist, a One thing
I Of the Lord desire" The panic which occurred
on that occasion, and alluded toir another column
seemed to furnish him with renewed vigor, and the
congregation with increased attention. On retir-
ing 10 the room below many new converts were
aroused TO testify 10 the preciousness of Christs
love. Mr.. Hailenbeck's leave taking on Monday
night was of the most affecting nature. BE
thanked God for the wonder be had worked IN this
city during the past few weeks BE thanked the
community for the Kindness he had received at their
hands, the missionaries and pastors for their warm
hearted cooperation, the choir for the valuable
part of this good work that they had performed in
singing those Gospe. Hymns, thereby arousing the
hearts Of anxious listeners, and lastly he thanked
the Press for having contributed their humble mite
N this work Of salvation.
Mr.. Hallenbeck left this city for Bilo yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by the Rev W. ]. Smith
and Mr.. Il. Warehouse The good work has been
taken up by the Rev. Mr Cruzan, who held his hrst
meeting last evening. On tile return Of the party

dream of attempting to traverse the
popular viii. -, =,
Here the order of things is widely diff
ferent. The Cabinet is appointed by. the
King of his own proper motion. without
consulting the people, and he can dismiss 1t
equally without consulting them. Ii, then,
the Ministers stand in no direct relation to
the public, how is it to be expected that
thew shall be backed up by the public! Ii
the last Cabinet, for instance, had com
plained that there was no outside back
ing to their acts" the complaint could
hardly have been heard with gravity.
The best remedy that we can suggest
for this portion of the "trouble" COM
plained of is. first of all, that no man
should take Office in the Cabinet unless
reasonably assured of the support of at
least a large portion of the best of the
community.
In the next place, not only ought the
Ministry to start with the support OF the
people, but they ought to maintain an
open and definite relation to the people.
At present they take Office and carry out
their plans as agreed among themselves
and the King. This may be very well for
routine work and details of Government;
but as to the great principles OF policy,
they never ask for the support of the
public, they never attempt to interest the
people in political work and life, or con-
suit them in any way. The people feel
themselves outside all political action, and
hence display the apathy so often com
planned of. Let us turn again to the
great mother of representative govern
ment. How different is the easel Not
only have the British Ministry to lay
down and defend definite policy every
wear in Parliament, but ON countless other
occasions, such as public dinners and
special meetings for the purpose, they
have to lay their plans before the nation,
explain and defend them, and invite the
support of the country. Surely this is a
healthier and nobler way for free nation
to be governed than the one in vogue here.
II the Ministry and the public are kept in
close and healthy relation, not only is the
political life of the nation quickened, but
in time of difficulty the Ministers know
what " outside backing" they may reason
ably expect. We cannot enlarge upon
this great subject in an article, but We
would earnestly suggest that amid the
important changes we may soon expect,
as well as in preparation for the assembling
of the Legislature, it would be great
good to the country if the Cabinet were
occasionally to meet the public and lay
before them their plans and policy, seek
ing their intelligent and active support
And such course would immensely
strengthen good Cabinet.

/ HAVE, as near as / can remember off
hand, about twelve cases of leprosy about
my district, said doctor to us the other
day, but can do nothing-it is not my
duty to go round a1Testing lepers," and
if anyone will take the trouble to question
the physicians of Honolulu, and more es-
pecially those of the other islands they
viii find our friends words confirmed over
and over again. 1t Is a perfect disgrace
that this should be SO, and we would very
much like to know why this state OF things
Is allowed to continue. Seeing how very
generally the contagiousness of the disease
is acknowledged by our physicians here,
how patent it is even to the layman, who
will only give little attention to the sub
ject, it is a source of establishment that
centres of contagion should be allowed to
remain all over the group, injecting daily
those who are pure. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to call attention to the manner in
which the disease has spread among our
people, to call to mind that the first au-
thentie case is dated as arriving here be-
tween 1913 and 1852, and that from that
source, during the past thirty or thirty
three years upwards of five thousand have
fallen victims to the disease: these facts
are thoroughly well known not only here,
but abroad, being quoted in every work
which deals with the subject. Is the
present laxity in removing 1epers caused
by lack of funds? this can hardly be, for
the vote passed by the last Legislature
was certainly an ample one-SS5, 600 for the
two years-but even if this were to prove
insufficient, Ministry might spend more
and go before the Legislature without
fear, asking that their extra expenditure
be approved: no body of men that could
be collected together would refuse their
sanction and approval of such disburse-
ment. If any good is to be obtained by
segregating the sick, it must be by thor
ough and complete carrying out of the
system: spasmodic efforts though they may
be coed, are nothing in comparison with
steadily carried out and methodical
plan: that is what is needed. A chain is
no stronger than its weakest link. and the
weak link in our chain, is allowing lepers
to continue living at large in this city
and on all the islands: in proportion as
this is permitted or winked at. Will the
disease continue to increase. 1t stands to
reason that if one case of leprosy in 1S4S
has been able to spread so terribly as it
has among the people, number of cases
scattered abroad amongst us must have
very fatal and terrible consequences. We
do not for a moment say that nothing is
done, but we do say not enough is done,
and in this we feel sure that most people
will agree, no matter how much they may
disagree with us in politics Leprosy is
not question of politics. We hope to
hear that vigorous effort is being made
to carry out the law. and that that effort
viii be a continued one, and not an
ephemeral attempt to gather up few
here and a few there.

The question as to whether there is or is not an
inter-mercurial planet is one which has been
forced upon the attention of astronomers from
time to time. The first discovery was made by a
French physician, Descarbault, who made his OBJ
servation October 18th, 1859 In 1876 Mr.. Wright
of San Bernardino, stated that he had observed
the transit of a small disc across the sun, which
he supposed was the planet Vulcan, but the fact
was taken little notice of at that time. We have
received by the last mail, however, a communion
ton from Mr.. A. f. Goddard of Sacramento,
which calls attention to the subject. Mr.. Goddard
has apparently investigated very thoroughly all
the information extant about this planet, and has
also made n number of calculations which lead
planet may be looked for either on the 18th or
18th of October, visible in Honolulu and a
large part of the Pacific Ocean: observations
may be taken advantageously upon almost any
part of the Pacific Ocean, by the ocean steamships
the nayies of all nations and at Sydney, New
South Wales, Australia, Japan and Hongkong,
and should be taken at intervals all day on Octo-
18th and 18th, 1881. Charles F. Croker, Esq.
Vice-President of the Occidental and Oriental
Steamship Company has believe, already given
instructions to his officers, and am now awaiting
she consent OF the Pacific Mail Steamship Comp
any which trust will be assured. Honolulu has
great advantages in longitude 156 w and about
20o latitude, mid transit may be due on October
12th h. u m. A. NJ. or October 18th b. IL M Pm.
or October IL b. ID m. p. NJ, 1881 at Honolulu.
l am in communication with the Naval Observa-
tory Mt Washington and trust to receive their con-
currence in n few days. If the opportunity is
neglected however we cannot have another accord
ing to the Leverrier hypothesis until 1885, which
will render the date of the occurrence much more
uncertain we shall now be in accord with the
crossing of the node on October nth, 1891.

IT is hardly pleasant to read some of
the things said about what ought to be
done with Guiteau by many of the United
States papers. We read in one print that
there is a movement on foot in Washing
ton to take the prisoner out of jail, to
hang him in such a manner that he will
die slowly, and meanwhile to employ
firing party who Will shoot at him, taking
care to avoid vital parts. We must say
frankly that we do not believe this, we
cannot believe that men, who have the
honor of the country and of themselves at
heart, can for an instant countenance de
iberate cruelty, even when the crime is so
infamous as that of Guiteau The days
for torturing people have gone by together
with feudal monarchies. etc, we trust for
ever, and it is not, certainly, the great ex
ponent of civil liberty that is going to re-
vive them The men. who talk the kind of
cruelty reported in the Newspapers, belong
to the mob, not to the thinking popula-
ton: now mob law, though it may possibly
be better than no law, is only very slight
shade better We are glad to see that the
governor of the jail understands his duty,
and expresses himself as determined to
protect his prisoner. Guiteau, even if the
President RECEIVERS, deservs hanging: to
attempt the life of the Chief of the State
ought to be a capital crime. We regard
the fellow as an unmitigated scoundrel,
but however black his crime, a nation
shows its dignity more by Furnishing him
according to the forms of law, than by
casting all the trammels of law aside, and
getting rid of him in an illegal manner.
