The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-04-07
Anti-LiQuor

To come before the
public with an absolute
cure for drunkenness, or
a specific to remove the
desire for alcoholic slim
ulants, seems to many,
we have no doubt, an
absurdity; such is the
case, nevertheless, and
before offering ourmedi-
cine to the public we
thoroughly convinced
ourselves by actual ex-
pertinent that it would
do all we claim for it.
Browns IRON BITTERs,
complete non-alcoholic
tonic, will not only remove
all the nervous disorders and
weakness rem aiming afterex
cessive indulgence caused by
liquor, but will absolutely
kill that desire for artificial
stimulants that every intem-
perate man feels driving
him to ruin.
Browns IRON BITTERs
is also a remarkable and
trustworthy remedy
(having the confidence
of the medical profess
sion) for Dyspepsia, In
digestion, and all disor-
ders of the nerves, mus
cles, and digestive or
gans. AS a spring tonic
for ladies, children, and
all thatneed new life and
rich blood, it is without
an equal. Price $I.oo a
bottle. Get the genuine.

THERE is some lamentation about Gov
ernEent printing patronage AS thr ugh it
were absorbed aa.i mOnopOliZed by some
greedy press enjoying official favor. Now
what are the facts? The Government no
tices by Authority, the laws and other doc
umeuts have been published 10y the weekly
journal, the GdzeHe, ever since the present
Ministry came into office. And the con-
slant attitude of that journal to the Minis
try has been opposition the opposition of
the disappointed politician. But parties i'm
power have not shown themselves in any
way thin-skinned in the matter and have
allowed public documents to be printed in
journals calculated to promote general pub
licity. Thus the "Wednesday foreign
journal receives its share OF Government
patronage without any consideration of its
politics. And as two foreign journals are
published on Saturday, is it not reasonable
that the one of the largest circulation should
receive the patronage? Two are not
needed. In respect to native journals there
are three of about equally large circulation;
and as publication in either one would suf-
iciently diffuse publications for native in
formation, will it not be deemed reasonable
that the authorities should select the one
that is fair and friendly in its discussion.
rather than either of the other two that are
the vehicles of bitter personal spite. and the
native medium of attack of malicious, dis
appointed foreign politicians The Dailys
are probably not considered sufficient vehi-
cles of information throughout the islands,
and not used for public notices except for
local city information.
That is about the way the matter stands.
There is no Government press, and the
press that promotes public convenience will
be employed. But 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected. and hardly human. that Ministers
should be anxious TO patronize prints that
are only inspired by personal spite and un
reasoning opposition.

EDITORIAL ARTICLES.

From the Daily Pacific Commercial AdUertiSer.)
THIS town of Honolulu is no credit to the
people who live in ii, the Government that
has charge of its highways and byeways,
or the King whose capital it is. Some
parts of il nave been improved in appear
ance of late by the erection of many sub
stantial and a few handsome buildings.
With the building improvements better
footways have been provided here and
there. But there is no order, no system,
about anything.
That there do not exist here any of those
bylaws for the regulation of city affairs
which are common elsewhere is distinctly
the fault of those on whose shoulders the
task of administering the Government of
the country has from time to- time been
laid. Our intolerably Uneven and dis
jOinted faotways, the Wretched'y narrow
character OF important streets, the I'M
lighted condition of SO many of our tho
roughfares, the manner In which any one
who likes Obstructs both streets and foot
WAYS with goods, lime, sand, and building
material of all sorts, and a score of other
irregularities to which penalties are attach
ed in other tOwns-all these things can be
remedied only by Government action, or
by the creation of a Municipal Govern
ment. How much the Government can
do to remedy this condition OF things, now
that the opportunity for legislation on the
subject has gone by, We are not prepared to
say. The Minister of the Interior can do
much if he will. Most of the Objectionable
practices which a good city government
you'd put dOwn-sOme of which we have
enuumeTated above-a,e really breaches of
tile Law, causing injury or annoyance TO
Iublic property or to the public, for which
the offenders can be dealt with.

His Majesty's Farewell Entertainment to
General Comfy.

His Majesty the King entertained His Excel
lency General Comfy the retiring Minister Resi-
dent for the United States at lunch at his sum-
mer residence Pualeilani, Waikiki, on Wednes-
day last. A number of official and other gentle
man were invited to meet General Comfy on the
occasion and under the influence of the genial
hospitality for which His Majesty is so we'll
known, all passed a very pleasant afternoon. In
proposing the health of his guest His Majesty
passed a high encomium on both his official and
social career in Honolulu, and the few words in
which General Comfy replied were we'll chosen
and feelingly spoken.

SOME ONE wanted to know the other day
whether the Board of Health ever met.
He did not ask the Secretary of the Board,
but called on Echo to answer him, hoping
that hapIess nymph would rhyme to his
quired in a more reliable quarter, and can
tell him all about it. There was a meet
ing of the Board on September %, 1881,
and never another until the present Presi-
dent of the Board look office, uotwithstand
ing the fact that Il lengthy report was fur
nished to the Legislature as e%n1anating
from the Board. From September %, 1881,
till May 24, 1882y%hea Mr.. Gibson con-
vened one, there was no meeting of the
Board. Since then, there have been seven.
Detraction by false i~nsinuation is a useful

o.: the sixth page of our present issue
will be found a translation of An article
which appeared in a Lisbon journal when
the steamer Hansa was there. This gives
some account of the refusal of Portuguese
authorities to allow emigrants who had
contracted to come to this country, to sail
in that vessel and of the reasons for that
refusal. 1t contains, however, only a very
vague statement of the matter. We must
suppose that some good reasons existed
before the Portuguese officials would inter
fere to stop the ship and undertake to pro-
vide lodgings for the DISCONTINUED emf
grants and to return them To their homes.
Yet there are certainly none given by the
Diario de Noticias, unless it be the refer
ence 10 the biscuit "black as exile" 1t
would seem as if the ordinary discomforts
of a steerage passage had frightened the
intending emigrants. We have received
and caused to be translated a copy of the
hand-bill circulated in Portugal by the
agents who had been engaged in securing
emigrants there. We publish the trausla-
ton in our columns to-day. 1t certainly
contains no unfair statesments or promises
that could not be fulfilled. Its figures APP
pears to be correct if We except the price
quoted for beef, and it speaks none to-
strongly of the prospects of Ultimately BEG
tering themselves which such people as il is
addressed to will find in this country. Ii Is
therefore evident hat if bad faith was
alleged by these people it could only be i'm
connection with the accommodation on the
Hansa, and we hesitate to believe that this
differed from that which has been accepted
by previous parties of emigrants.

Germany and Austria are like-minded with
her in Directing to any interference except
by Turkey.
The conduct of the Turkish Government,
and especially the refusal of the Sultan to
declare Arab Pasha a rebel, makes it
appear quite likely that Turkey will herself
become involved in the war, not as an ally
but as an enemy of England, and that the
long looked for quietus of 1.-THE sick man"
will be the final achievement of Gladstone's
foreign policy. England already holds
Cyprus, and some sort of a protectorate
over Asia-Minor, and she may yet by
force of circumstances come to hold a
similar position in regard to the Empire
now ruled by the Sultan, to that she
holds in the land Aurungzebe once ruled
over. Less probable things have come to
pass within the e~ventful period which has
past since British cannon hrst roared OH
AboUkir. 1t seems likely that a new battle
of Aboukir will be among the events re-
corded in the next budget of news we re-
ceive. What Give and others did in In
dia, what Ma con did in Europe, what
Bismark anu .,loltke have done for Ger
many, were all less likely to happen than
for the fire of war, kindled at Alexandria,, to
rage until Russia and England (under her
Philo-Russ Premier) shall nave divided be-
tween them the sovereignty of all Western
Asia. And who shall say that the world
would not be the better for il if il should
happen so.
THE public will be glad to learn that
there is at length II prospect of Hawaii
having a coinage of its own. including the
much needed twelve and a half cent piece.
The Government has, we believe, determin-
ed to carry out the Act of 1880, "TO provide
for a national coinage" so far, at any
rate, as the silver coins referred to therein
are concerned. These are to tie of the re-
spective values of one dollar, half a dollar,
twenty-five cents, and twelve and one-half
| cents. The last named coin is, as we nave
said, much required, and it has always
been "a favOrite one amongs Hawaiians.
The work of coming will be done in San
Francisco, and the cost of coming will be
betrayed by the difference between the
actual cost of silver and alloy used, and the
va lue at which the coins will pass current.
Mexican dollars, for instance, Orsilver bars,
can be bought at a price which, when they
are converted into Hawaiian coins of the
weight and value of the American silver
coins of like denomination Gas provided for
in the Coinage Act) will leave a margin at
least equal to the cost of coinage.
