The Kirwin Independents and its little
editor, Lamb, bleats plaintively because
Hon. John Bissell got bill through the
Legislature funding outstanding county
warrants and old bonds into bonds bear
ing per cent interest. Lambs line of
argument is greenback, and he can't
make twenty-five cents worth of capital
out of it.
The Elm Grove Creamery did not sus-
pend operation at any time during the
winter, and is now making 145 pounds
of butter daily. Scores of farmers who
did not patronize the institution last
year because they did not believe it
would pay them. are stocking up pre-
pa1atcry to engaging in this profitable
industry the present season. During
June and July, when the flow of milk is
heaviest, it is confidently expected that
1000 pounds of butter will be manu-
featured daily.
The Kirwin Independent suggests
that the publishers of the Solomon val

that the first meeting be held at Downs.

Otherwise.

Our little daily friend is sometimes wise
and sometimes otherwise, more frequently
otherwise, as in his talk yesterday about a
''poOr defense" He says that Mr.. Gibson
states, in reference to certain charges
about lepeT management ], that his pre-
decessOr had lone worse. Now, Mr.. Gibson
said nothing of the kind, and in fact,
nothing at all, in Il public way, on the
subject but the ADVERTISER has said in
its statement of facts that Mr.. Gibson. as
President of the Board of Health, in con-
currence with his colleagues on the Board,
has, by order, and by a special instruction
to the police and other authorities, caused
to be removed from the community four
hundr and ninety-seven persons said to
be afflicted with leprosy, all of them of old
standing and who have had the disease for
years whereas, Mr.. Armstrong, who was
in power a little over a year ago and had
sole charge of the health administration,
never caused, by any direct order, the re-
moval of one leper from the community or
the transportation of one leper from the
Branch Hospital to the Ieper settlement at
MOlokai. This is q statement of facts as
setting forth the action of two oficers-the
one doing a great deal in a certain public
matter and the other doing nothing at all.
Now, how can this statement of ours be
construed as an apology for Mr.. Gibson
that, though he had done badly, some one
else had done worse. 1t is evident hat our
little daily friend is trying to get a place in
the ring of the definite opposition, and
wants perhaps a few shares of political
stock. 1t is too early Dizzy dear to be bid
ding for political stock, wait till you are
sure it is paid i'm. We nave heard of an
assessment for political objects of half a
dollar on a ton of sugar. and even of a
dollar; but, what with the reduction on
the tariff, the uncertainty of the treaty,
the long bills of agents, the drought and
the runaway laborers, we dom think
there's going to be as big a fever in buying
up political stock as you think Don't
swallow it too hastily Dizzy.

Chinese immigration.

The action of the Government taken at
the time of the large influx of Chinese re-
Gently has been most effectual in putting n
stop to the migration of Chinese from
HOngkOng to these stands. 1t is s~atisfac-
tory to know hat the protest of our Gov
m had all the effect that an indie
pendent state could expect on the issuance
of any decree inspired by self-preservation
and not infringing upon any international
treaty. But it was not the purpose or eX-
pectation of the Government to completely
interdict the immigration of Chinese peo-
pie, for, at this time, our Government
through His Majesty's Minister at Wash
ington, is engaged in the negotiation Of a
convention to promote a limited Chinese
immigration. According to statistics OBJ
tanned from the Custom House and other
sources, above fourteen hundred Chinese
left this Kingdom during a period of twelve
months ending June 25th last. 1t is evil
dent that there will be continued departures
lessening the number of Chinese in the
Kingdom. 1t is fully agreed among the
planters and other employers of labor that
a certain recruit of Chinese laborers will be
u necessary aid to the industrial enterprise
of the Kingdom, and we are of accord that
Ai II was { "h' PiuOSh' Oh ~ paw
of the Government to check an undue in
fluX of Chinese men when threatening to
come out of proportion to the requirements
of the country, yet it will be wise and con-
ducive to the welfare of the country to per-
NIT a limited and manageable immigration
Of Chinese to the extent at least of supply
ing the places of those who have departed;
and when due precautions are observed and
the transportation of these people is con-
fined to first-class and well organized yes
sells, such as those of the Pacific Mail and
the Oceanic. and Orient lines, on board of
which the sanitary precautions and care are
most admirable and perfect, there can be
10 cause for apprehension on account of the
possible introduction of disease whilst sub
serving the interests of the industrial en-
terprises of the country.

The Y, M. G.. A.

At the general monthly meeting of the
Young Mems Christian Association held
last week the most noticeable feature and
that which first attracted our attention was
the paucity of attendance, there not being
more than twenty-three members present.
The reason of this we do not know but il is
probably owing to the usual apathy exist
ing in Honolulu in connection with nearly
all public bodies or institutions after they
have been in existence for a short period.
The Association appears to have done eX-
cellent work IN :i.e past, a. witnessed by
the really good building that it now pos
sesses, and on which at the present time
there is no deb showing that the assist
anee given to the Association has been sub
stantial. Another evidence of this fact is
given by the contributions so literally vol
unteered towards improving and charging
their building by the erection Of class and
bath rooms.
That the finances of the Association will
not show a credit balance on their ledger
at the end of the year was shown by the
statement that the expenditure for the pres
ent year wouId probably exceed the income
by $500. This is not q large amount andit
could easily be paid off by leyying a cOn-
tributisu of seven dollars, in addition to
the usual subscription fee, from every mem
Der OF the Association. The fact that there
would be a deficiency was evidently not
lost sight Of by several member when it
was proposed to continue the usual monthly
contribution Of t~hirty-five dollars To the
Chinese mission; il was decided to pay
this amount for one month longer when
the question would be again discussed.
The President of the Association made
some very pertinent remarks on his sub
jet. lie gave it as his opinion that the
Chinese mission was now established on a
frm basis and able to hold its owl, and he
suggested that it would perhaps be more
aseful to assist a Portuguese mission i'm this
Kingdom, where there is so large a
Portuguese population. and to endeavor to
find a competent man of that nationality to
do evangelical work. He also strongly ex-
pressed his belief that a large proportion of

A meeting of the newly-formed Stock and
Bond Exchange was held Wednesday morning in
the offices of the Planters Labor and Supply
Company.
The number Of members Of the Exchange il
limited TO twenty-five. A committee consisting
of Messrs. A. j. Cartwright, j. u. Anterior and
w. o. Smith submitted n draft OF the c~onstitu-
tion and bylaws, which were adopted, tho COM
mittee having followed as nearly as possible
those Of the San Francisco Stock and Bond Ex-

The Exchange having been organized, the fol-
lowing officers were elected: A. J. Cartwright.
President; T.. p. Adams, Chairman; II. Riemen-
schneider, Secretary and Treasurer; p. C. Jones,
Assistant Secretary.
The first meeting Of the Exchange will be held
on Monday, Both July, at ii o'clock, and subse-
quently the Exchange will meet every week on
Monday, that day being selected on account Of
the arrival in town of gentlemen from the other
islands. AT the first meeting the President will
announce the various committees required and
the names of such gentlemen as may be appointed
to act upon them.
Ih idea which presents itself to those who
are originating the association, is that it shall be
strictly an exchange for bona fde transactions,
and that everything in the nature Of stock gam
bling, fictitious or |" wa he'd - transactions shall
be strictly prohibited.
