and those who can command the
supply, naturally desire to suppress
the silver coinage, and compel the
exclusive use of gold. BY doing so
they can compel their debtors in
Guiding the national government,
to pay at present rates from 2 to
4 cents upon every dollar, more
than was contracted to be paid.
And that by juggle which the
mass otpeople will not understand.
The eastern press represents upon
this question this dishonest
scheme because it is controlled by
the men who will profit by it, if
successful. 1t is the duty Of the
western and southern press to
represent the interests and rights
of their constituents upon this sub
ject, and to educate the people upon
the points involved.

arrived all o. X. yesterday. Will
write again next week unless the
other boys write. Yours, etc.
The Tertio Millennial Exhibition
may now safely be pronounced a
substantial success. Ever county
in the territory, except Valer eica,
is represented by most CT 1itable

ducts.
The programme each day, con-

universally commented upon.
The 18th, and 23d, U. S. In
fantry bands, furnish music for the
occasion.
Upon entering the main build
ing the scene which presents itself
is gay and lively. The decorations
tastefully and elabortely arranged,
the characteristic dress of the Indi-
an visitors, the odd looking uni
forms of Major Fountains men, the
rugged apparel of the prospector
made sight which is seldom wit
messed.
The mineral display of course
constitutes the chief attraction,
commencing at the northeast cor
ner of the main building, we first
visited the Socorro Co., exhibit,
under the supervision Of Prof
Longuemore, the immense display
of this county could no t have been
shown to greater advantage, being
arranged with most exquisite
taste.
Santa Fe county has the largest
collection of ores on exhibition,
principally, from Cerrillos Dist.
There being not less than five car

to the front with a better showing
for paying ore than ever before.
At about 1877 feet vein of ore was
encountered, no telling how big,
with anaverage assay of nearly 200

ore body is immense, and if the
owners Of the property do not erect

sOuE ryYELr rRUrH.

EDITOR SATURDAY Press Sir A..
Docs the public know of the manner
in which the leper question is being
treated3 IL not, they should.
A few months ago, Mr. Fitch, by his
own acts, placed himself on trial to
answer the charges of quackery and
general incompetency These charges
were fully sustained by a mass of evi-
dence both professional and unprofcs-
sional.
When the charge was made Mr..
Gibson informed Mr. Fitch that unless
he could refutc them, he might con
slider his position vacant. All the evi-
dencc Of both Mr. Fitch and his wit
nesses tended to substantiate the
charges made, Mr.. Fitch himself being
the strongest witness for the defense.
And yet, in the face of all this, Mr..
Gibson retains him and asserts his
intention OF still retaining him. Whep
Simply for this reason. Mr.. Fitch
has considerable influence among the
more ignorant natives. The natives
have votes and Mr. Gibson has a
number of axes to grind at the coming
election. This is why his love for Mr..
Fitch is so strong. And so the old
state of affairs continue. Lepers are
being treated and discharged as cured.
Lepers are to be seen frequently if not
daily on our streets. 1t is hard to be-
licvc that there is a human being in
this community who would endangcr
the lives of every man, woman and
child in it, simply to keep himself in
office But such is the deplorsble fact.
Probably in no other community in the
world would such condition of af-
fairs be tolerated
A portion of the charge to the jury
by his honor Chief Justice Judd,
in the suit of Fitch against the Saturday
Press, will not be amiss
The Importance Of the Office held by the pro-
scouting witness could not be overeStimated.
If, by any means, these islands should be n
plague spot, the effect would he more impor.
iant upon the future Of the nation than the
withdrawal of the reciprocity treaty. II the
|
be afflicted with leprosy should assert and
believe that leprosy is not contagious, and
succeed in producing general acquiescencc
in this belief, the public fears would be lulled
and persons would be less likely TO be careful
in keeping themselves from con,agion. The
injury which such course OF conduct nigh,
entail is untold.
The above Is just as true as 1t is
strong The position of Mr. Gibson
as president of the board of health and
of Mr.. Fitch as physician to the lcpel
hospital, etc, are the mos, mb0,1an.
in He gogt,nment, and their occupancy
by such men as the present incum
bents would have long since created q
revolt in any less apathetic community
than Honolulu.
ONE WHO breads THE END.
Honolulu, September, 26 1888.
Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1883-09-29

Unselfsh public spirit is the need Of
the hour It's an open secret that the
catchpcnny cabinet would be out of
office to DAY if one wcllknown citizen
would have consented to take Office.
" will 90 with you to the bitter end,
said Mr.. Sprcckcls and there is little
doubt that the "bttcr end would
have had a less flrcical termination
than the acceptance Of an artistically
drawn trial balance by the heavily in
yolycd "oppostion shop II Mr.
Sprcckcls had reason TO believe that
the community was unwilling to make
personal sacrifice TO attain the end
sought for, it is no wonder that he lost
faith in the gcnuincncss Of the demand
for reform. and came TO believe that at
least some Of the opposition were sci
fish in their desire for n change and
willing TO "usc Mr.. Sprcckels to at
tain purely personal ends. II is the
opinion Of the writer that the intclli-
gent white clement of the islands is
practically a unit against the Gibson
administration. The native element is
divided, with the intelligent for the
most part against. II there were
traitors in the camp of reform, as Mr..
Sprcckels believed, the treason ought
not have been charged against the
opposition as whole. There are
mcan.spirited men in every following
we are none of us quite unscl6sh W.
are none OF US absolutely impartial ;
but he who runs may read the lesson
OF the opposition to the present mis-
management of public affairs. 1t is
not cowardly; it is not selfish II Is
not one sided Harsh as its criticism
has been, il has been less harsh than
circumstances warranted. But what is
the use of this criticism unless men
who believe there is rank misgovern-
mcnt are willing to take office to help
reform it. Men Of great interests that
wait for their best development on the
issue of good government in foreign
and home affairs, have small right 10
complain if things go wrong Pcnnl.
less adycnturcrs, notorious incompc.
tents, men who are professional and
business failures, are just the men to
get into office, while the "solid men -
of character, intelligence and honestly
acquired wealth decline to accept
office, when, by some sacrifice, they
might help TO make the wrong right
1t is unlikely that the present cabinet
win 90 out of Office until after the next
legislature. 1t is perhaps as well that
it should continue in power until then
The mischief that It's responsible head
has done will then be shown by facts
and figures which may not be forth
coming until then. But when the
present cabinet does go out, and new
cabinet is to be formed, there ought tc
be no shirking of duty by men who
are looked to rs leaders and who have
at once the brains, the experience anC
the acknowledged probity to give The
community that cordial confidence il
their sincerity for reform which Tho
present cabinet has so conspicuous,
lacked.
