A young man named Finklcstein, of
New York State, has been enjoying the
pleasures of cOurtship and at the same
time filling his pocket-book. His plan
was to become engaged to young lady
and then borrow forty or fifty dollars
from her. Having engaged himself to
seventeen girls and borrowed money from
all of them, he was making money fast.
but the eighteenth victim sued him for
obtaining money under false pretenses
and thereby exposed his game.
Senator Vance, Of North Carolina, in
speaking Of his career in Washington,
said recently: 81 was mighty nigh dead
TO get there, but I'll be hanged IL l am
not higher dead to get away" This is
not the usual experience, however. AS
general thing, when Il man once gets
taste of Washington life hc is 10th to leave

have held public places, all of them seek

With the king, and with him alone,
rests the power Of retaining or reject

cyinced a strong determination to hold

subjects might think or say, and that
too in the face of the most damnlug
proof Of his utter incompctcucJ, 10
nothing more, TO fill the responsible
office to which he has received appoint
ment Every indication IS at hand that
it is the kings pleasure that Mr.. Gibson
should stay so long as it is possible to
keep him, and that it IS his 07cW bIedSHir
OHIy that he means to consult IN the
matter. Under such circumstances.
it must be evident that if Mi Gibson
bc removed at all, it will be by ncccs-
slty and moi from appreciation Of his
wOrthlcssness as a public servant or
from any Difference to public opinion.
Lack of means whcrcwith to conduct
the government, resulting from an in
discriminate and wastcfu disbursement
of the funds, or something worje, may
procure his removal but only this
Doubtless, however, the day will come,
but the building and repair that will
then dcvolvc on any succeeding ad-
ministration should not be forgotten by
those who contemplate a change. Ii
certainly would be poor satisfaction, at
this late day in the biennial period, to
see a new cabinet of good men come
into office, only to be blamed by the
legislature for the misdoings and short
comings of their predecessors which
would almost assuredly be the case If
the responsible members Of the present
administrators were successful in their
efforts to stuff that body with dcpcn-
dents and toadies. At the coming
session there will at least be an oppor-
tunity for compctent and searching in
quiry into the hitherto occult conduct
under the Gibson rule, should the pre-
sent cabinet hold together till then,
and a chance to hold some one to
account, if things are in the state citi-
zens have reason to believe them in
Then, perhaps, will be explained why,
ior instance, a forty thousand dollars
deficit should have occurred in the
treasury statement, and why it has never
been accounted for where certain
moneys received on immigration ac-
count have gone and many other
matters of like nature, which, so far,
have been shrouded in impenetrable
mystery. There are cogent reasons,
all things considered, why the com

to remain in office until the coming

We are well aware that certain dis
eases are TO greater or less extent
dependent upon peculiarlties of diet.
This is notably the case with such
diseases as bcriberi, scurvy and pellagra.
Years since it was popular theory that
leprosy belonged to this class of com
plants, and that an exclusive FISH diet
was the predisposing cause, But
patient investigators, like Vandyke
Carter, Macnamara, and Lobb, have
long since shown its untenability. Pas
teur and his co-workers have now been
able to demonstrate the presence of a
mit,o6s in the blood and tissues
of lepers, which is called badil1s
hpne, and upon which it has been
demonstrated, the disease is depen-
dent In the face OF such evidence
as has lately been accumulated,
from the researches OF Pasteur, Koch,
and others, in relation to the germ
origin, and inooulability of such
diseases as lcprosy, consumption, can
Ger, splcnic fever, etc, II seems only
absurd TO commence again to revive
the theories of less enlightened time.
The writer would feel very much reas-
sured if he could believe that restric-
tons in regard to diet would save
the community from the dangers OF
leprosy or that, in reference to cure
we could look with any degree OF hope
to the disciples of Hanneman. But if
prevention ever does come, il will be
the result of the researches OF such men
rs pasteur, and will be by vaccination,
just as is now the case with splenic
fever and chicken cholera So, too. il
4 cure is ever found it will not be by an
inhnitcsmal dose which grows more
powerful the farther il recedcs from
mateyiallty but il will be by chemical
agents capable At once OF permeatlng
the solids and fluids OF the entire sys-
TEN harmless to the organism, but
deadly to the parasite. Meanwhile We
may safely continue to drink coffee and
to eat fruit and taro, Notwithstanding the
blights.

Leaving aside the pathological differ
ences of the two diseases, let us see
from comparative symptoms what right
the homeopathist has, upon his theory
of similars, to propose ergot as the
remedy for leprosy. Leprosy is com
paratively painless disease, insldious in
its approaches, of very protracted dura-
ton, and terminating with scarcely an
exception, in death, and despite all treat
ment; ergotism, highly painful disease,
oftenest accompanied by fever and de
lirium, of comparatively short duration,
and often terminating in recovery.
Leprosy is not characterized by a
blackcning and drying up of the
extremltieS, nor is separation OF the
dead part from the living attended with
excruciating pain" as is the case with
the sloughs and amputations OF ergot-
ism. spontaneous amputatons IN ergot-
ism mean almost invariably cure
never so with leprosy. Absorption OF
bone is common in leprosy; but never
so in ergotism. So much ior symptoms;
and the pathological differences are
even greater than the symptomatic.
Moreover, leprosy selects by preference
man as It's subject, and has rarely if
ever been known to infect horned
cattle not so with ergotism. 1t has
often appeared as an epidemic among
cattle and horses in certain parts OF
Germany and other European coun-
tries. In 1919 it was prevalent among
the horses and cattle OF Chester County,
Pennsylvania, and in the following year,
in Orange County, New York. There
it was the result of ergot in the
seeds of the grass Pea a17ais, eaten by
the stock. (See Gross Surgery, Vol
I-I67). Aitken, universally recog-
nizcd authority, says in his $ Practice =;
A morbid state is said to be produced

A gentleman for whom the Press has
the highest respect, spoke at the meet
ing OF the planters last Thusday In
the course of his remarks he censured
somewhat sharply the report of the
previous days proceedings, which APP
peared in one of the dailies. That re-
port was prepared by reporter who is
now out of the kingdom, having sailed
ON Puget Sound schooner last Thurs
day. He was certainly a very bad re-
porter, But it was also certain that he
was overworked. He was doing work
that two good men could scarcely do
justice to. His reports OF the planters
meetings were full if they were not
accurate, and II must be remembered
that he was reporting the work of
specialists and could not be expected
10 follow all that was said with accuracy

In recent issue of the Advertiser
was an article entitled Ergotism and
Leprosy said by that paper to have
been taken from a letter addressed to
the government by Mr.. Carter, its en-
voy at Washington. As the article re
fered to attempts to view the subject
from a homeopathic standpoint and is
novel 10 its suggestions, It deserves
more than a passing comment The
article suggests the possible value OF
homeopathic treatment in leprosy, and
names ergot as the remedy from the
supposed identity between some Of the
symptoms of leprosy with those pro-
duccd by the use Of ergot Further
than the suggestions in regard to symp-
toms and treatment, however, the
article is altogether un-homcopathlc,
as it suggests the possible dependence
Of the disease upon certain bllghts
which are known to affect various
articles Of food grown upon these is
lands and an expert examination of the
same. Homeopathy, proper has
nothing to do with the causes Of disease
or the actual pathological conditions
thereby induced, but only with their
attendant symptoms. Once the symp.
toms are known and the proyings OF a
certain medicine are similar, the appro-
pirate remedy is established.
But let us examine the data upon
which the imagined similarity between
lcprosy and crgotism s'bascd. Mr..
Carter says 81 was struck on reading
in the Encyclopedia OF Pom Mortena
Mcdica, by Timothy i. Allen, AM,
MID. by the symptoms
produced By eating rye bread made
from rye affected by the smut from
which the ergot is made.
These symptoms are 50 similar to those
of several cases brought to my notice
as leprosy while was president OF the
board of health that ] have been led
to consider whether iii some cases
they may not have been produced by
similar causes, viz ; The eating of food
poisoned by some blight or smut such
as affects the coffee in kona, and the
mangoes, oranges, and even taro, in
different parts OF the islands and thus
account for some of the cases OF so
called leprosy." Had Mr.. Carter de
rived his information regarding the
pathology and symptoms of crgotism
from some recognised authority, such
as Bristowe, Aitkcn, Gross, or others
that might be mentioned, instead OF
from the publications of Boericke and
raicl, and had he consulted like good
authorities on the pathology of leprosy
he would never have suggested the
analysis of bhghts which have existed
here from time lmmemorlal, and when
no case of leprosy had ever been
heard of on the islands,
