CARR or LEpERS.

The Board Of Health acting, as is under.
stood, under the joint inspiration Of the Pre-
mier Prcsiden, and DIR. Fitch, has given
another proof Of its peculiar ideas Of consist
ency and devotion to the public welfare. As
has before been noticed, according to the
Dd1ly Aivtyiiicr of the 9th ult., "The Board
has resolved to take measures for the invita-
ton Of Sisters Of Charity to assist the nursing
Of the INDECENT sick in this country" This OF
course on the face of it sounds very fine and
appears like an evidence Of thoughtful atten-
ton TO the interests of the "indigent sick. p"
But when we find that the same Board at the
same time refused TO consider proposition to
provide a resident physician for the leper
establishment on Molokai, our enthusiasm
over the action Of the Board receives a some
what severe check. We naturally seek an ex
planation Of this seeming inconsistency. The
only rational explanation seems to be that the
former proposition is peculiarly available for
purposes of "buncombe," while the latter is
not. To send to distant lands for members of
the "besscd sistcrhood," "induced by the
spirit of Divine Love which anima,es them" "
etc. (yide Duly r. c. 4. J, sounds very grand,
is calculated to make a fine impression abroad
and is expected to rebound to the glory of the
Board in general and of the premier in par,icu-
lar. But the employment Of a physician to
attend to the wants of the poor unfortunates
at Kalauao is such simple, busnesslike and
common.sense proposition that it finds little
favor in the sight Of officials constantly on the
lookout for something sensational wherewith
to dazzle the eyes of the thoughtless and tickle
the fancy of the ignorant. OF course we have
nothing TO say against the Sisters Of Charity
or their work. We have the highest respect
for the ladies constituting that sisteIhood and
believe their ministrations would be of grea,
service among the INDECENT sick Of these
islands. But an intelligent public, desiring
TO have justice and humanity displayed in the
treatment of our leper population, will be ap
to see in the recent action Of the Board o
Health an attempt to use the wel-eamet
reputation Of the Sisters OF Charity as screer
for their failure to perform plain duty. 1t i
a very foolish Board Of Health and equall,
simple Premier to suppose that the public car
be hoodwinked by such transparent devices.

receptions, dinners, attentions, etc, that have
been given our worthy visitors; and being de-
sirous Of placing true state Of the matter be-
fore our readers, we interviewed the represen.
tatve himself, but found him to preserve
rigid diplomatic silence upon the subject.
Now Mr. Carter may OF may not care one iota
Of this apparent studied neglec, on the part
Of this government, through its Minister
Of Foreign Affairs, to treat him with common
courtesy and diplomatic etiquette. This com.
munity, however, does. II any insult is de
signed Japan, we have the right TO know why.
1t is possible that our aspiring Premier knows
no better, but we can assure him tina, the shal.
low attempt to entertain these illustrious guests
Of the nation and ignore their representative is
seen through by them, and i. as is reported,
they determine to leave our Shores by the out
going mail steamer, coronation or no corona.
ton, we may rest assured the gau,iness OF oul
government whole maneuyers, diplomatic
coronation and all, is seen through by them
Naturally in shaking our dust from off thei
feet they will justly ask il this is the recompens,
we make Japan for the high honor she has paiC
us in entertaining our King, receiving ou
commissioner and sending an embassy to ou
coronation. Verify il this government doe
not hear Of the matter, we are very much mis-
taken in the class Of men Japan selects to sen,
abroad on diplomatic missions.

And it came to pass that in the pleni,ude of
his power Cosmopolitando, the King, caused
n crown Of nickel to be made, overaid with
pure gold, even the gold of Ophir, and fash.
ioned like unto cocoanut; and he caused il
to be placed on high in the treasury of the
palace.
Then, according to the decree of the mobiles
and representatives who sat in council, and
according to the council of Philigree, whom
the King had advanced and set above all that
were with him, and to whom all the Kings
servants that sat in the Kings gate bowed
for SO the King had commanded concerning
him; the King sent to gather together the
princes, the governors and the judges, the Off
GERS of the army and the navy, the counsellors
and the sheriiis, and all the rulers of the
islands, and all poten,ates and ambassadors
and consuls Of kingdoms and empires over the
| whole earth TO come to the coronation Of Cos.
mopolitando, the King, with the crown of
nickel overlaid. with gold and fashioned like
unto n cocoanut.
And exceeding much money was appor-
toned off by the mobiles and representatives
who sat in council, for the feasting Of the
princes, the governors and the judges, the Off
GERS Of the army and the navy, the counsellors
and the sherifis, and all the rulers Of the
Islands, and all poteniates and ambassadors
and consuls Of kingdoms and empires over the
whole earth at such time as they should be
gathered together.
And it came to pass when they were gath
cred together unto the coronation Of Cosmopoli.
sando the King, that they sat before Cosmopoli.
tando the King, and the crown Of nickel over.
laid with gold and fashioned like unto a cocoa.
nut, in the lanai Of nor'west which Auger the
chief carpenter had builded before the palace.
Then an herald cried out aloud, even Karkass,
the Kings herald; "To you It is commanded,
o ye people, nations and languages, tha, at
what time ye hear the sound Of the trombone,
eoronet, flute, clarione,, sackbut, psai,ery,
dulcimer, fife, drum and triangle. and all kinds
Of music, ye shall rise up on your feet and un.
youa ntih NnosB ftSctn not

Therefore, at the time when the crown was
placed on the head Of Cosmopolilan.lo the
King and all the people heard the soupd Of
the trombone, cornet, flute, clarionet, sack.
but, psaltery, dulcimer, fife, drum and triangle.
ard all kinds Of a,asie, all the people. the m.
tions and the languages stood up and uncov.
cred their heads.
Wherefore, at that time certain phlankies
came near and accused o,hen. They spake
and said to the King Cosmopolitando. 20

decree that every man thas shall hear the

and uncover his head. And whose riseth not
up and unooyereth not his head should be
cursed in the government newspaper, even the
Terrific Prcmieral Anathematser. There are
certain youths who are men Of affairs in the
Islands, even Blastus, Torpedo and Ironclad.
These men, o King, have not regarded thee
they do not approve Of the golden crown. and
did not rise up and uncover their heads.
Then Cosmopoltando in his rage and fury
commanded to bring Blastus, Torpedo and
Ironclad. Then they brought these men be.
fore the King, and he spake and sad as i,
true Bastus, Torpedo and Ironelad, do not yc
regard me nor approve Of the golden crown
that I have nader" BaStus, Torpedo and
Ironclad answered and said to the King
owe are not careful TO answer thee, o Cos
mopolitando, in this natter II it be so thai
we are to be cursed in the government news
paper, even the Terrific Prcmicrial Anathema
tiser, be it known unto thee, o. King, that W,
will not regard thee in this matter noISpproy,

tando wroth, and he commanded that Phil
gree should write curses against them NOR
terrible even than is his wont, and publisl
them in the Terrific Premierial Anathematise
and send them to all parts Of the kingdom
that every one might read. And Philgrc
took upon him this work and SET up the Who'll
Of one night and searched studiously a diction
AIRY Of epithets, and consumed much kerosene
that he might make the curses exccedingl
dreadful. And he published them in the Tel
rife Premicrial Anathematiscr and sent thcr
to all parts Of the kingdom. But it is N,
known even TO this day that Blasius, Torped
and Ironclad suffered in body and mind {
estate by reason Of them.

Where seas their foam hecked pillows pour
And greet the land with suen roar
From mountain.top to wind-swept plain,
Where pasture lands and sugar cane
Await the falling Of the rain,
In crowded streets, where fortunes fair
Are made and lost, and everywhere
gloom is in the tropic air,

That waits to drag the weeping down
Into the depths that choke and drown.
Beware o king, with eoronet

CORONA A7YoN APoLoGHsZs.

Finding the large and distinguished attend.
ance anticipated at the inception of the idea of
Coronation, fast dwindling, underthe honest rep.
reservations of the opposition press, into apros-
pcctively ydisproportionate audience, and thepro.
jected ceremony fast approaching the realization
ofamost contemptibleabsurdity, nwhichnos sen.
sibe persons, excepting such as are compelled
by circumstances, intend to participate, the
journal of the Premier would once and for all
squeak his justification, and add its las, feeble
lispings to rally the broken ranks Of the decri
pit old man.
We are told, by way of apology and excuse,
(those weapons so worn and scared
in the service Of the Premicr) that the antici.
pated absence Of certain person of high
rank, is to be accounted for, by physical in.
ability to attend and that certain societies
will not attend, as such, owing solely to the
fact that large majorties Of their numbers, be-
ing separately invited, prefer to attend pri.
vately, or in official capacity, not connected
with their societies. But, while the contem.
plated absence of one certain person of high
lchieD rank is explained by the organ to its
own satisfaction, and perhaps to the satisfac-
ton OF its few scattered followers, no attempt
whatever is made to explain, OF excuse, the
prospective non-attendance Of certain other in.
diyiduals Of equal rank and standing.
We are informed by the astu,e and discern.
Ing editor of that journal, that "the denuncia.
tions and criticisms Of this state ceremony seem
puerile at this late day. They are utterly Of
non'etiect. We are constrained to admit,
that in certain limited sense, the latter state.
ment is in accord with truth but this very
fact is our justification in uttering "denuncia.
tions and criticisms" agains, this master ac, of
folly. That the King will be crowned has
passed beyond the probability ofa doubt; but,
that the ceremony will be deprived OF the i'm,
pressive character which its designers had in
anticipation, and that it will be looked upon
simply as meaningless absurdity by an over.
whelming majority Of all classes Of the popula.
ton, is also fact, and one owing mainly to
the Accommodations and criticisms " of an in.
dtfsnffnf f,ess. In reference to the King OF
his chosen Premier, We are aware that the
structures OF that press have been "utterly Of
no effect but in this We have received nc
disappointment. We wrote for other minds
than theirs and We envy neither. the position
they hold to-day as a consequence OF an act 6
dislaseiul to every intelligent person whose in.
teIests are in any way subordinate 10 the nros

For new symptom Of heart disease, sec the
DaiLy ddOeJtiJer leader Of the 9TH inst.
II is rumored that several prisoners are to
be released on Coronation day. The admin
stration needs friends; and even criminals
don't forget favors.
Perhaps, as contemporary suggests, the
Premier would like to 60 TO Washington. II
might be for the good of his health, but it Ger.
tainly would not benefit the country.
That is considered an awful "iish story
about the screw of the .Snes striking a spar,
though it is possible she was coming along

According TO advertisement, the Good Temp

Is this in recognition of the good effects Of the
