The Hawaiian Islands have a firm
friend in the American Register, n
weekly political journal published in
Washington. Its politics are Demo
cratic, but ii represents the intellectual,
argumentative portion OF It's party and
is what is often called, for lack OF a
better phrase, ''high-toned"-in the best
sense of the words. Over and over
again the American Register has
spoken boldly, iorcibly and unflinch-
ingly in our behalfvand at times when
prominent men in its own party were
working against US upon the floors OF
congress In recent issue ii quotes
the paragraph concerning us contained
in the presidents message, and goes
on to say
The Register has always taken the ground
that the treaty with Hawaii was based upon
sound national principles, and in nowise a
question coming within the limits OF party
rules on prejudice During the last session OF
congress the opponents OF the treaty who i'm
agined themselves injured because they were
not receiving all OF its benefits, sought 10
bring discledit upon its workings by the cry
OF fraud" and TO cause its abrogaiion ON
the ground, as charged by them, that sugar OF
better quality than had been intended by tbs
terms OF the treaty was being admitted into
the United States nee Of duty. These are the
charges which the president is convinced
"Aary han etaSy,afe}," and the report OF
the commission sent by the treasury depart
ment TO examine into the matter fully bears
him out il the opinion. The secretary of the
treasury also takes strong groands in his re-
por, against the abrogatlon oi the treaty which
he regards as aat.aiiy 6sns6osNf," aud he
gives an exhaustive resume OF the results OF
the treaty in establishing market and a
trade. which he likens 10 our interstate
trade" bene6ting the American farmer OF
producer and small manufacturer as well a,
the larger manufacturers OF iron, machinery,
&c. But the keynote OF the treaty is struck
by the president when he Ssys " / am not
disposed to favor the entire cessation OF ,hs
treaty relations which have fosterel good vii
between the countries and contributed fsssa,s

the station to which she has been elevated,

We have information that about fifty

Kakaako, not however this time, on
the pretcxt Of Cure" or even "amel-
ioration" but upon that OF scarcity OF
funds But Why at this time Several
months before the expiration Of the
biennial pcrlod) funds should be short
We are unable to see, since a much
larger appropriation for the support OF
lepcrs was made at the last session Of
the Legislature than at any previous
time As We have said upon many
previous occasions, no sort OF scgrcga-
ton has been kept up, Notwithstanding
the large expenditures and the great
array Of buildings and fencing which
have ostcnsibly been used for that end.
The whole affair, instead of having
been conducted as an institution for
the ameIioration OF the condition OF
sufferers, and the protection of the
community agalns, a fearful disease
has been used as political engine for
the ends of the man who is allowed to
call himself premier We have shown
before, and we think conclusivcly too,
that Tor political ends, and these alone,
has this institution been kept up, and
the discharge of fifty persons, in def
ance Of law and the sentiment OF at

is no doubt that these have been made
in subservicncy to those Machlevellar

no reason to believe that these persons
who are soon to be released, are to bt
released for other purposes than thos'
of elcctionecring and voting at tn,

Use OF power over unfortunate sufferers
or a more dastardly outrage upon

With regard to the question OF segre-
CATION. 1t has been long a wcll-known
fact that a large number of pronounced
lepers have never been segregated at
all, but have been treated at their pri-
vate dwellings by Mr.. Fitch that
many more, after having been once in
charge and still uncured, have been
permitted to leave the hospital and
mingle freely with whom they might ;
and from those who ought best to
know, we are told that not less than
one hundred such are at liberty to-day.
Such thing is an outrage, not only on
the healthy portion of the community,
but upon those poor victims OF the
disease who are compelled to stay. In
the name of common humanity and
common justice, il such things must
be, let them all 20, and at once abolish
that farce at kakaako, which is mani
iestly maintained at the public expense

Gibson, and to salary man who has

dangerous to the community and more
Just to those inmates who are confined
than to proceed longer after the
present fashion. This town would
have been far safer from the contagion
of leprosy had the hospital at kakaako
never been built at all, or had no such
man as Mr.. Fitch been employed to
gull the poor wretches suffering from
leprosy with his promises Of cure. 1t
} was these promises of cure and non
segregation that brought lepers hocking
into Honolulu from all parts of the
country 1t is that hope, not yet quite
extinguished, and the knowledge that,
if arrested at all, their segregation will
be little more than a sham, that keeps
them still lowering about the town.
As things formerly were, although con

Mr.. IDEE'S MISSION.

"What they mistakenly allege to be
unfair treatment" is the way the Ad-
vertiser writes about the Mail Com
panys attitude towards this government
If it be mistaken to consider the repu-
diltion of a contract as unfair treat
ment then it is unreasonable to object
to the highwayman who stands you
up on the public road. The question
at issue is something more than the
purely business one between the O.S.S.
and PM.S.S. If that were all, the pub
lie might fairly take sides and look on
contentedly to see those corporations
fight it out. But the question is a
great deal more than that, it involves
national honor and raisesthe question:
Is the word OF a cabinet minister to
be as good as his bond or no p The
United States government seems will
ing to take the responsibility of saying
that, so far as one of its citizens is con
cerncd, contract made shall be bind
ing on the part of the government
making it If Mr.. Spreckels had
made the first contract, his rights
would have been just as clearly defined
as are those OF his rivals in the carrying
tfade. Whether the Mail Company
has at all times treated this community
generously or no has nothing 10 dc
with the question. The public will
welcome the full light to be thrown
upon this subject by the publication o
