DIR. FITcH THE FAMous.-We never have seen in
the past such universal desire as exists among
native Hawaiians to be doctored scientifically as
is shown by the crowds that flock to be treated by
DR.. Fitch, the friend of man whom they entitle
their Savior. The old women, old mep, children
youths, and even the native doctors themselves all
go to him. People who never consulted foreign
doctor, consult DIR. Fitch, and lepers who have
been timidly hiding, themselves go openly and
show themselves stolthis dpctor, who they have
heard is able to cure them. We shall constantly
keep before this nation the doings of the kind and
patient physician, who is laboring for the life of
the race, and which fact has made his name
famous throughout the group. We sec with our
own eyes the great amount of work that he does
and how that he and his assistant, Niagara, find
no time to rest. We trust that when the Legisa-
ture meets, their services to the nation will be ap
preciated and properly rewarded.
During the two weeks ending on the 4th day of
February, 2237 persons were treated at the Gov
ernment Dispensary Maunakea street. On
sund y, February 8, 26O persons attended at the
Dispensary. 1t would seem from the great in
crease of patients, that Dr. Fitch ought to have an
assistant in this important work. The Doctor has
requested US to inform the public that he purposes
hereafter to close the Dispensary ON Maunakea
street on Sundays, in order that he may secure
needed rest, for at present he is quite worn out
with constant work. He says, however, that he
by no means abandons you, Hawaiians but only
that he is exhausted He viii! again open as be-
lore, Ills strength Is 3uInclentiy recovered.

WHAT WILL DE THE END 20 Mobiles and Repre-
sentatives, the men chosen by the people to speak
for them, and the honorable members of the Log
slature of 1882, let US consider the answer to the
above question.
Probably the majority of those elected as Rep
resentatives in the coming Session. consider Of
most Importance among the proposed measures
the bills for a Million Dollar Loan and that for
removing restrictions ON the use of Spirituous
Liquors. l don't propose to talk much about
lquoI-that is plain enough, for in the first place
it signifies poverty and secondly murder. But
am mostly concerned about the Loan project, and
on that account have placed the question ut tho
head of this article. Should the proposed bill
pass, then we may indeed ask ourselves the ques-
tion, "What will be the end ~
Not that the sum of Ten Millions, IL we had it,
would be bad thing for Hawaii to have, for it
wouid DO means Of warding oh some of our
troubles and supplying our needs the difficulty is
that We can't foresee what will be the final result,
whether good or evil
If we Hawaiians consent to this measure will it
not be check to our progress by putting us under
the hopeless burden of bonds for u Ten Million
Loan DO We desire to sacrifice our comfortable
and quiet Independence And do We wish to wipe
nal King who has gone, The life of the land is
established in righteousness" Therefore, u Ha-
wai, it will be well for you to consider before you
leap into the fiery furnace of great debt.
The possession of the whole, or any portion of
your sacred soil by of the great powers of the
world. would be grievous affiiction to U.S. tho
preservation Of your Independence. 1t will not be
the elder ones, who will pass away, but We and
ours who Will have TO carry this great burden.
The Ten Million Loan Bill will be like worm,
nibbling and gnawing at the root of "a fourishing
tree, and when the root is destroyed, "what will
be its end ~ Will 1t not wither its blossoms un-
timely fall of, and its fruit become wrnkled and
faded i! Thus will 1t be with thee, Hawaii, who
now resemble the green tree by the running waters

root of your national Independence. II that

gard this cry Of Young Hawaii, and keep out of
the fiery furnunce of great debt. 1t will be bet.

paid debt hanging over us. trust shall hear the
voice Of some Young Hawaiian friend supporting
my views And invite every true Hawaiian who
loves his country, take those words at the head
of this article and consider well what will DO the
end of the Million Loan
