The Libel Suit and LeprosY.

The libel suit of Fitch and Thrum has be
come one Of our causes ceZebres, and ha.
awakened an unusual amount of public in
terest, not only on account of the actua
question of libel, but in consequence of the
great prominence that has been given tC
the subject of leprosy during the trial. The
proceedings before the Supreme Court dur
Friday and Saturday would have appeared
to a chance stranger making a casual OBJ
servation, to have been a medical conven-
ton or Investigation to determine the Ell
ology of Ieprosy. DIR. Fitch's reputation
as a physician having been assailed, the
defense, in his prosecution for libel, sought
to justify the libel by proving that DIR.
Fitch's theory and practice in respect to
the treatment of leprosy was a mistaken
one, and evidenced a want Of correct medi-
cal knowledge.
We will not attempt to review the evil
dence or to go into any discussion of the
particulars and results of the trial as we
have laid all information on this subject
before our readers. and nave taken some
pains to give the evidence in full, es-
pccially that of the medical testimony, be-
cause as we have observed in our ex-
p%eriencc, that physicians, although usually
positive in their opinions, are liable to
change them very often so it will be well
10 have Il permanent record upon so i'm
portaHt a subject as the disease of leprosy
on these islands. Ii has been discussed
witt great difidence by most eminent med
ical men in various parts of the world, and
they nave generally avoided any positive
opinion in regard to its possible cnrability
in certain stages, and the contagiOusness or
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the disease but a
majority Of our medical men are very
positive on the subject, and speak unhesi-
tatingIy of the incurability and dangerous
coutagiousEess of the disease and the
national necessity to carry out a thorough
system of segregation
These positive opinions are brought for
ward as c-ondemnatory Of the medical views
of a gentleman who believes in the amena-
bility of tie disease to yield to treatment in
certain stages and who considers the dam
ger Of cOntagiOn as somewhat remote, and
a measure of segregation as proper in gen
eral which may be relaxed in certain condi-
tions Of the disease.
Yet it must be noted that whilst the
Health authorities have had the advice and
assistance Of the latter gentleman during
the past twelve months, they have carried
out the measure of s~egregating to the extent
of removing over four hundred leprous per-
sons or suspected lepers and placed them in
the asylum at Mo!okai or in the branch hos.
pital of this city-whilst during the preced-
ing twelve months when others than the
present health authorities had charge, and
the medical influence that has been 50 pos
tive on this subject had the opportunity to
prevail, not one leper was removed from the
Of the community and placed in the
Yet we have to state and can
prove by various evidences, especially
1y the physical condition of all these lepers
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1883-07-21

and supposed lepers recently segregated,
that almost every one of the diseased in fact
we may venture to say positively about
niuety-five per cent. of the cases
are Of persons that have had
the disease from three TO ten years
past. Now where was this anxious
spirit for segregation, this positive opinion
Of being "eminently contagious" during
the previous period Of utter inaction? We
fear tina the appreciation of the gravity OF
the malady and the national danger IN
volved therein was not sufficiently
aroused until special and personal consider
ations uuickened the medical mind.
We feel hopeful that the extended discus
sion and aroused attention brought out by
this trial, will have an ultimate beneficial
effect on the public MINI. The subject Is
well deserving of the mot earnest consld-
Grafton of every citizen having a regard Tor
the welfare Of this Kingdom. We may
labor in vain in developing our national re-
source and to prompt national enterprise II
we are negIectfuI of the health of the people.
We feel assured that a candid public
opinion will be satisfied with the efforts
that are made by the health authorities.
In regard to the grave question relating
to the woful maIady Of leprosy which has
been brought so prominently before the
public attention, a large percentage of
public revenue was appropriated by the
Hawaiian Legislature to enable the health
authorities to deal with this national ca
lamity. This appropriation was estimated
by a late administration as being sufficient
to meet all demands for the care and treat
ment of a large estimate of patients, but
q, q, tho D,aaGnraS "a L ON nv he nrpSpnf
health authorities this estimate of leprOus
patients in the hospital has been greatly
exceeded, and yet they are endeavOring,
and will be successful with the means in
hand, to carry out all necessary measures
for segregation, feed and treatment for a
large body of unfortunates requiring Gov
eminent care.

Cur Envoy at Moscow.

y letter has been received from Colonel
Iaukea, dated Moscow, June 5, which gives
most interesting particulars of the cordial
reception accorded to the Hawaiian En-
bassy at the Imperial Court.
His Hawaiian Majesty's plenipotentiary
was received in audience OH May Both, by
the Emperor and Empress Of Russia.
His Imperial Majesty expressed the most
kind and cordial interest in the Hawaiian
Mission.
Colonel Iaukea said that his mission was
in grateful reciprocation for the courtesies
rendered by the Emperor through Captain
Kalogueras in honor of His Hawaiian
Majesty's Coronation.
The Emperor stated that it afforded him
peculiar pleasure in welcoming the first

His Imperial Majesty expressed in the
warInest manner his hope that the present
cordial and pleasing relations would ever
be maintained between the Empire of
Russia and the Kingdom of Hawaii
Her Majesty the Empress Feodorowna
gracefully stepped forward from her posi-
zion by the side of the Emperor, and ex-
pressed her great pleasure in meeting with
an envoy from distant Hawaii.
1ISI IhIpeIIdI Majesty Ildue many III
quiries about the Islands, aud enquired cor
daily after the health of Their Maiesties
King Kalakaua and Queen KapioIani, and
expressed a lively interest in considering
the long journey that had been undertaken
by the Hawaiian Majesty's Envoy in order
TO be present.
The whole of the conversation between
their Imperial Majesties and the Hawaiian
Envoy was conducted in the English Ian
guage.
The several Ambassadors and Ministers
of the great Powers have WED in extending
marked and kindly courtesies towards our
Envoy.
Colonel Iaukea dined with the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Mr.. de Giers, and on the
occasion of the grand diplomatic banquet,
which took place after the Coronation, the
position of the Hawaiian Envoy was next
to the Minister of Servia in rank. Colonel
Iaukea escorted to the table Princess VIA
semsky.
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Alex
ander accepted from the hands of Minister
Iaukea the insignia and collar of the Grand
Cross of the Royal Order of Kamehameha.

TRUE LOVE.
Cupld's Dart Struck Il0me-FillaI AGectIOn-An
Ends Happily.

An incident which took place at the ~Immigra-
ton Depot recently, illustrates the existence of
the grand passion in as high and noble n degree
as has ever been represented by the poets or as
has been set forth in the Bible story Of Jacob
and Rachel, indeed the incident referred to is
somewhat parallel to the Jacob and Rachel ro-
nance.
The modern Jacob was lately An employee III
the engine room of the steamer Hankow, en-
joying there good position and fair emolument,
but the winged little God disturbed his peace of
mind during the late voyage from the island Of
st. Michaels to Honolulu. Jacob fell desper-
ately in love with the Portuguese Rachael who
is most lovely and tender-eyed like her ancient
Jewish prototype. On their arrival at the im-
migration depot, Jacob sought TO engage the
lovely Azorian either for service but preferably
in marriage. Now the young lady had an infrn
father and, being imbued with flial affection
among her other many virtues, she pleaded
with her lover urging thatit was discordant to
her feelings to be asked to leave her parent
during his state of infirmity and old age. The
father had pledged himself to engage for SER
vice on n plantation and was about to fulfill his
pledge, and, in order TO enable him to do so
his faithful daughter would mn him and
help to console and comfort him in the perform
ance of his duties.
Young Jacob, animated by the right, heroic
and tender sentiment towards his inamorata, re-
solved to enter into a contract and ship on the
plantation in company with her father if she
would consent to be his bride there and then i'm
the depot. 1t was no sooner said than done; II
properly qualified party quickly bound them ia
matrimOnii yinculo, and at the same time jacob
entered into an engagement with the plantation,
for a certain period, to labor side by side with
the modern Laban. He has now gone to the
scene of his new duties and may be pictured,
hoe in hand, under a Hawaiian sun. hoeing his
row OF cane. or stripping its sharp blades, rak-
ing up the trash or feeding the devouring crush
ing rollers; again at the close of his labors may
he be seen on the verandah of his quarters,
seated by bis tender-eyed one in his happy
home, happy though he has exchanged "A good
with chances Of promotion and "a good
for toll and smaller remuneration.
In the society Of the girl whom he loves above
others on earth may continued happiness
bless the modern Rachel aud Jacob.

Casarism.''

An absurd contemporary says that the repre-
sentative system OF orr Government has sunk
under 4 Caesarism injurious TO the body polite. -
All this twaddle Is because Mr.. Gibson. Minister
for Foreign Affairs. is also President of the Board
of Health and Education and temporarily holds
the office Of Acknowledgement. Yet a little while
ago, a. everybody knows, Mr.. H. \. p. Carter was
Minister Of the interior and at the same time Pres
ident of the Board of Health, Attorney-General ad
iater4n,, and held for a short while the position Of
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. Now what is the dit-
ference between the Caesarism OF Mr.. Carter and
that of Mr.. Gibson?
The statements of our bumptious Wednesday con-
temporary would be outrageous if they were not so
ridiculous and amusing. Take the following sam
pie . He Mr.. Gibson a. President of the Board of
Health. stands to-day Il wilfully negligent officer
before the bar Of public opinion. - This he said
in reference to the neglect of segregation of lcp-
rosy.
The late President of the Board Of Health. Mr..
Armstrong, was 4 particular friend Of this opposi-
ton editor. Mr.. Armstrong held office about ten
months, yet DURING HIS ENTIRE ENCUAGBEScY OF or
FIcE HE DID NOT CALL \ SINGLE MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF HEALTH NOR CAUSE TO BE REMOVED FROM
THE MIDST OF THE COMMUNITY A SINGLE LEPER TO BIZ
PLACED IN THE HOSPITALS ANYwHERES. And this
editor and his present political friends never said
one word about neglect at that time, whereas the
present President of the Board Of Health and his
colleagues have, DURING THE SAME PERIOD of ten
months called FIFTEEN meetings of the Board of
Health for various considerations of public health,
and have removed from the community FOUR HUN
DRIED AND NINETY-sEYEN cases of leprosy. TWO HUN
DRIED AND TWENTY-FIVE of which have been sent
to the settlement at Molokai, TWO HUNDRED AND
ELEVEN are now at the Branch Hospital, FoRrY-FIvE
have been discharged as mistaken cases or as
persons restored to 4 comparatively sound and
non-contagioUs state of body, and FIFrY-EIGHT
have died in hospital. Now. Of all these
cases of leprosy that have been taken by order
Of this President and his colleagues and have been
removed from the community, NOT ONE was a re

HONOKAA. HAWAII

IONOkAA, HAWAII.
The schooner KauikeaouIi arrived here on last
Monday, bringing rather a small freight, and
left again on Wednesday, with a small load of
sugar.
The weather for the last two weeks has been
exceedingly warm and dry, accompanied with
strong winds; the cane on the lower lands is
looking very dry and brown. and the planters
were getting disheartened, but last night and to-
day We have had a fine steady rain. Water was
getting very short all through the district. In
some places there was barely enough for drink
ing purposes.
A move is being made to open a private school
in Honokaa. Contributions are now being coll
lected to erect a suitable building. The school
will be under the superintendent of the Rev.
Mr.. Tuthill, and will supply n want which has
long been felt in this place, and towards which
every resident should aid.
Mr.. Sylvia, the photographer, is anxious to
know who moved his office on the night of the
4th Of July, and would thank the parties, to re-
turn it where it belongs.
Honokaa is in need of a new milk man. At
present we have one who supplies US semi
weekly.
Some of our planters intend making a trip
East by next mail steamer.

Last Sunday night a thief entered the sleeping
