AN exchange gives US some particulars of tn
condition of leprosy in Louisiana. The annua
report of the Board of Health of that State give.
an account of the progress of leprosy within its
borders. "It was brought in 1880 to the West
Indies by the negro slaves and thence to Louisi
ana. In 1779 this disease was so prevalent amonI
the blacks together with the African elephantiasis
and another equally horrible, named yaws, pecr
liar to Guinea negroes, that hospital for leper
was established in New Orleans. AT the presen
time the majority of lepers in that city are foun
to be whites, of French and Russian extraction
The disease seems to be hereditary, and certai
families are known to be infected by it and ar
Stunned as corpses would be, could they walk an
m owe and spread about the contagion of death
The mother of one of those families, when the
disease showed itself, was deserted by husband
and children, and nursed until her death by
young girl who now is victim to it. An Italian
Catholic priest who attended cases of leprosy il
the Charity Hospital is now dying of it in tht
same house. New Orleans, it appears, has II
separate asylum for these incurable patients, anS
they are received into the Charity Hospital an'
placed in the crowded wards to scatter death
Our country, however neglectful it may at time
have been can make far better showing for itsel
than this. The lepers seem to congregate in th
swamps of the lower Bayou Lafouche. The Presi
dent of the Board of Health visited this district
and found "Asiatic leprosy existing in different
generations of six families some of these wretch
ed creatures have been driven out from human
habitation, and are living apart in the swamps,
dying of decay. In some insensible as bone, and
they were able to handle fire with impunity. 1t
was impossible TO make a correct estimate of their
numbers as a rumor spread among them that tho
searching party had come to carry them of to an
uninhabited island of the sea, and they hid them
selves, their friends, too, refusing to tell their
names or numbers.

IT may be considered we suppose, that
the election campaign has fairly com
menced, and that the speeches of the Hon.
S. Kaai at Hilo, of the Hon. j. W. Kalua
at Wailuku, and of others are intended to
represent the line laid down for the
speakers themselves and for those whom
they can influence is very clearly indi-
Gated by the utterances referred to. We
await with seme curiosity not unmixed
with anxiety the further developements
of the tactics to be employed, and the
questions to be propounded by the vari-
GUS would-be leaders of public opinion, be
their leadership self-conferred or other
wise The independence of the Kingdom
is the great Shibboleth put forward by all
parties, and yet it seems to us that there
are many who attempt the use of this
testword, who yet are only able to pro
nounce it in an imperfect and halting
manner, The whole press, native and
foreign upholds the desire for the mainte-
nance of Hawaiian Independence, but
there are wide differences as to the man
ner in which this much desired aspiration
is to be realized. To some, this independ-
ence appears to be the independence of
the native population from any influence,
legitimate or other, which may lie in the
power of their foreign fellow citizens, for
eign we mean by birth or descent but law
fully qualified Hawaiian citizens never
theless. We are sorry to see man of the
talents and ability, and weight with the
native Hawaiians, of the Hon S. Kaai
leading the way in the attempt to exclude
foreigners from the House of Repre-
sentatives, and that the Hon. j. w Kalua
should speak of so large number of his
fellow-citizens as enemies" though this
latter is the direct result of such teaching
as that of the EIele in its earlier issues.
Again the Ro HdisGii PGe dina reminds its
readers that the native. voters have it in
their power to elect the Representatives,
and adjures them to be careful to retain
this power in their own hands we do not
think it would be unfair to interpret this
reminder as meaning: We, native Haw-
aiians have, by dint of numbers, the cGole
elective power, and can if we will return
the rhols Representative chamber; let us
use this power for the absolute exclusion
of all but ourselves, let not well-proved |
loyalty to the Crown and Constitution of
this Kingdom, let not intelligence, educa-
ton, property or any other stake in the
Kingdom weigh against native blood, let
not foreigner by birth, or descent even,
have any weight in the councils of the
nation, let his rights be repudiated, his
race be unrepresented and his interests be
ignoredI" How else are We to understand
such as these. 1t does not
seem to occur to these speaker, that the
fathers of these foreigners were they who
brought the knowledge Of Christianity |

Importance.
