60 neglected? 1t is said by those of III
been cnifIIs party, that 81, 300 900 have
mainly during the
of the present Ministry. Now,
thls Is partially true, and must be an evil
uence, 10 any one, of activity at least in the
PUBIC service, and it can be shown that
the large expenditure has been legitimately
employed IN carrying out very fully the
work OF the several departments, and we
ask Mr.. Smith to point out any public
measure OF Importance that has been neg
lected. How unJustitiable is the reference
to the sanitary measure in relation 10 a
certain disease as having been apparently
forgotten, in view of the facts and the pub-
lished statements which show that there
has been a greater activity in the seprega-
lion ana removal OF lepers during the period
under consideration than during any previ-
Gus period, and medical service more
fully provided. It's simply absurd to speak
of our relations with the Government of
the United states, as having received .'but
meagre attention" The Government has
engaged at Washington the services of two
first class representatives of the business
interests Of this country. 1t has provided
an Envoy extraordinary and u Special
SOlhLllS5IOieI 10 WATCH over those interests
and, as we know, the Minister in charge of
our diplomatic relations stepped from the
ceremonies Of the Coronation to his office
10 hasten and perfect dispatches and in
structiOns, which were to farther the action
of our Envoy, and which called forth his
cordial expression of approval. The whole
discussion in opposition to the Coronation
Is utterly inconsistent and unworthy. 1t
does not impress any one in the community
as being truthful or sincere. The animus
of the whole discussion is mere political
opposition. NOOne is doubtful for moment,
that, if Mr.. Smith and his political friends,
had been placed i'm power by the King, they
would ave carried out the desire of His
Majesty and the Coronation law enacted by
the Legislature of the Kingdom. They
would rave readily taken part in a cere-
mOnial, III which they might have shone
as designers or participants; and no one in
Hawaii will doubt that if our political
editor Smith had been the Marshal of the
Kingdom at the time which position
would suit his taste, that the vast, and dis
tinsuished throng Of people assembled on
that occasion would have an opportunity to
observe the solemn and saturnine per-
son of William o. Smith, marching at the
head of the Coronation Procession.

AN ed Tor proposed that Mr.. Gibson should

AN ed Tor proposed that Mr.. Gibson should
meet him in the presence of "thTee of the
Great Powers" We do not know that Nh.
Gibson had any official notification to
"Powers" would have felt themselves en-
powered to have gone INTO a consideration
OF the subject proposed. It was the differ
ence between an "apology demanded" n
an explanation requested" We say that
these are not one and the same thing, ard
that it is an "untruth" according to
Webster to call an explanation IN apology.
Now here is another untruth of our con-
temporary. M Gibson's knowledge of
French was not sufficient to enable him to
converse with Captain Chateauminois, we
hardly think that the translation, as fur
nished the Premier, warranted his sane
tioning the publication OF the eulogy."
(The high praises of the French captain in
respect to his Treatment during his stay
here.) Now, although we cannot speak of
Mr.. Gibson's knowledge of French, as
linguistic experts, yet we know the differ
ence between d-t0-mOde and d-td-tdu, and
We do know that the Premier converses
readily and 1uently in the language of the
Gauls, and that he had several long and
pleasant conversations under our hearing
with the gallant French Commander
We presume that these lengthy and pleas
ant conversations were held in the
French language, as we are not aware that
the captain had conversed in any other
tongue since his stay here, and there was
no translation of any conversation or state
ment furnished the Premier, upon which
any eulogistic lines had been based. The
fact is our Wednesday contemporary is
furnished a few imperfect particulars by
some indiscreet 4" diplomatic -" attache, and
it is rumored, that the "half-pay" attache
of our contemporary gets a little of this
diplomatic tattle at second hand. We
would advise our contemporary to enjoin
upon his so-called diplomatic informant to
be more precise in his information.

as he contempIates the-to him-woelul
state of sin and misery in which the young
Hawaiians are plunged. But as the sheet
we refer to Is pessimistic IN an eminent
degree, we naturally conclude that the
picture is much overdrawn. Still II is not
altogether n fancy sketch, but In as Tar as
it depicts q certain amount OF failure TO
carry out we'll considered schemes, 1t Is
truthful On the other hand We have the
Planters Monthly referring TO the educa-
Tnmen as a credit to the country, and 4
correspondent Of another paper actually
glorifies the old Board and its system.
Drawing 4 mean between these two eX-
tremes, we conclude that the Board of
Education. hitherto, has been alive 10
the wants of the rising generation in
this Kingdom, by raisi. g the standard
of the public schools, by placing
them in charge of trained teachers
mostly from abroad, aud also in estab-
fishing a system of manual labor (prin-
cipally agricultural) as part Of the daily
exercises. We have every reason TO believe
that the first part of this system has been
carried ont very we'll by those in charge of
the schools, and We are equally we'll con-
yinced that the "manual labor" part has
proved a failure, owing, not TO the teachers,
perhaps, for they are, as a class, anxious to
do we'll not to the scholars we opine, for
they must do as they are directed, nor can
we finally blame the Board itself. They
have two executive officers to carry out
their orders. The one whose duties confine
him to the Office of the Board has, neces-
sarily, but little opportunity of judging of
the actual work done. The other, the IN
spector General has as his work the duty of
seeing that the orders of the Board are car
ried out i'll every particular. In view of
the fact that the industrial part of the sys-
tenn has been pronounced n failure, it is in
order for him to rise aud explain why it
is so.

OUR Wednesday contemporary says that
taxpayers look a~nxiously forward for the
report of the Auditor-G General" This
anxiety the editor of our Wednesday con-
temporary must share very considerably,
inasmuch as, according to a statement
made in our column some time ago, and
not denied, because, being based upon an
official record, it could not be, said CON
temporary Wednesday editor had contribu-
buted during the last year the enormous
sum of SO. so for taxes on two dogs and two
horses towards the revenue of the country.
This anxious "%enquiring taxpayer" wants
to know all "about the expenses of the
mission to JAPAN" and about the Cham
berlain's tours en Prince" Let him rest
content; he will know in time, and then
he will see what part of a picayune he con-
tributed towards the "commission" or the
''tO rs" and the Coronation. lie patient,
thou anxious taxpayer.

THE ex-Attorney General, w. r. Castle,
to whom we referred as having gotten up
an indignation against a declared OBJ
scene publication, and whom we recon-
mended to prosecute, has melted proceed
ings as a prosecuting witness. When on
the stand as n witness, he averred that he
knew nothing of the alleged Ob.cene publ
cation except from hearSay. Now it does
not seem reasonable that the eX-AttOrney
General should have gotten up such a
height of Indignation, as set forth in his
letter in the Gazette, and in a subsequent
letter, we suppose, signed "C,p on
hearsay. His virtue boils over in these
illusions in such q fashion that we
cannot conceive that any such effects
would be produced upon n normal
mind, except as q result of certain moral
horrors forcing themselves upon n clear and
distinct knowledge of the subject. If such
Indignation could be gotten up merely on
hearsay, we should then have TO indulge
the suspicion that possibly it was not the
cause of virtue that inspired the diatribe so
much As a desire, perhaps, to make a point
against somebody; and, we must say, that,
if the eX-AttOrney General maintains his
assertion of Ignorance of the hula pro-
gramme, then his excessive ebullition of
virtuous Indignation will be liable to APP
pear, to discerning minds, as a blatant
hypocrisy.
IT Is a noteworthy fact that while the
opposition press is doing its utmost to ruin
the character of the Islands by classifying
and exaggerating reports about leprosy.
and setting forth that every family in this
country foreign or native, are in imminent
danger Of being afflicted with the dread
disease, we have amongst us some insurance
agents who have done and are still doing a
thriving business. These gentlemen repre-
sent 4 Iargt, wealthy and intelligent body
of men in the United States, who do not
propose to risk their capital by issuing
policies to residents on these Islands, were
they impressed with the cOntagiousness
= ---- f. NIn nwN ann .a Hhnan
scuFTilous writers who are racking their
brains with the object of creating a scare.
The Hawaiian Islands are and always have
been a good field for insurance agents. These
men do not take risks upon their personal
knowledge, but act upon medical advice.
The practical common sense OF these bust
ness men, who are on the spot to judge for
themselves, shows that the bowling dia-
tribes Of the "Outs" are treated by them
with contempt. This is one OF the strongest
rebufFs that could possibly be given TO the
artificiaIly created dread of c~ontagion by
the foreign community.

A RISING MAs.-Cari voss goes home TO
Portland today, after a short respite
from business in this city. Mr.. Voss
came here in 1871, q mere boy, With only
70 cents in money when he landed. He
had pluck. though. and energy, with
brains, and he went to work to make his
fortune. He began as cook, and so
served in the Occidental Hotel and for
the coal company at Newcastle. The
first steps were necessarily slow, and 1t
took him several years to get a little
ahead and fairly started. He bought
some property in town, when he had
saved money for the purpose. and he
went TO Portland to live five years ago.
He has done well ever since, and has got
ahead rapidly. He and his partner have
bread and cracker factory there In
which eighteen hands are employed.
They also have some lots and buildings
there, and are now putting up a large
house in which to place their own bust
ness. We have no idea of the value OF
Mr.. voss's property in that city, but it is
probably worth more than his property
here ID worth, and $4,000 is no more
than a fair price for his half in the
lot and beautiful Reinig- Voes block
on Front street. We suppose $4,000
will come under, rather than 60 over,
the amount of his possessions, and this
represents very pretty sum for a young
man to make in twelve years IN
der such circumstances as Mr.. V0ss has
had, and such difficulties to contend
with. Mr.. Voss is thoroughly deserving,
and We will rejoice with him when his
wealth has increased TO $4,000, 900.

PoRr DIsCOvERY.-We learn that this
mill, under the direction of Supervising
Engineer J. J. Hicks, is doing at pres
ent the biggest and best business in its
history. The new gang works to
charm. The daily cut of lumber, which
was only about $1,000 feet year ago, is
now up to SO, 600. and is expected to 90 up
to 2C,0O0 feet before summer. In the
company's boom at the mill are now
1905, 600 feet of saw-logs. Four vessels
are loading at the dock, namely: the
War Hawk, Mary Glo7er. Makah and
Levi Stevens. all for California. The
company owns and sails in connection
with its lumber business three vessels,
the ship War Hawk, bark Mary Glover
and brig Deacon, and in the s. L. Mar
tick it has one Of the largest, most pow
srful and seaworthy tugboats on the
Coast. In one respects the Port Dis
covery sawmill is the most advantage
ously located on the Sound, being near
est the ocean. The business goes on
just as before tho death of the late s. L.
Mastick and j. w. Ackerson. The firm
of S. l.. Mastick continues to be repre-
sented by L. b. Mastick, the surviving
partner, and the we'll known San Fran
cisco lawyer, E. B. Mastick, as executor
of the estate of s. L. Mastick. The firm
of Ackerson, Moore 6 Co. will continue
until the end of its contract to supply
logs to the mill, and sell the lumber
manufactured under the management
of the surviving partner, >. D. Moore.
In fact, we learn that within the last
twenty days the firm has made two of
the largest lumber contracts ever made
by any mill on the So1nd; one for a
wharf three miles long at Alameda, on
San Francisco Bay, for the South Paci-
fic Railroad Company, and the other for
the immense Touring mills to be erected
on Carquines Straits, in California, for
the Starr Mill Company. It is said
these contracts will alone require ton
million feet of lumber, and perhaps
moro.

SALE OF A STEAMBOAT The staunch
stern-wheel steamer Western Slope,
built in 1879 by Captain w. Moore, for
the through trade between here and
Yale, was sold at auction yesterday by
Messrs. j. p. Davies j. Co., in accord
anoe with instructions from the mortga-
gees in possession. Tho sale attracted
u very numerous attendance and the
bidding was lively. Starting at 5000
the composition jumped at $1,000 bid
between Capt. Warren and Mr.tTilton.
Then when $4,000 had been reached
the boat took smaller jumps varying
from $50 to $50 and eventually she Was
knocked down by Mr.. Joshua Davies to
Captain John Irving for $751; As the
the hammer fell the interest eliminated,
the spectators cheering and the boat
passing over to the Pioneer Line. We
understand that in the course of few
days the Western Slope will be hauled
out and receive thorough repairs pre-
liminary to resuming her place on the
Victoria Yale route.-Stdnddrd.
