Witty local editorial in the Bulletin
Concerning the Planters Monthly the
Saturday Press says; Considered from
the planters standpoint, the March
number is a valuable and, possibly, an
interesting one A subscriber to both
papers says that, rom the public's
standpoint" the last number of the
Saturday Press is hardly valuable
and interesting one. 1t is evident
that our critical subscriber who is OBJ
vously an anonymunkle has carefully
read the Press Ii was not expected
OF course, that anything the Press
might say would please an anonymnn

Mr.. n. F. Burgess has initiated the
eisht-hour movement by making that
the standard for his own employees.
Severe criticism has been expressed Al
action which threatens to disturb the
hitherto amicable and satisfactory re
lations hitherto existing between arti
sans and employers here. 1t would
have been better for the labor market
if the move might have been made
after careful consultation among al
employers In labor matters il is al
ways best to make haste slowly.

The movement for closing all the

The facts disclosed through the re.
cent disturbance in the lcpcr hospital
at Kskaako, are perhaps the most dis
graceful and scandalous OF any facts
which have thus far been brought home
TO Mr. Gibson's administration. They
are not only disgraccful and scanda
lous OF themselves, but they are cspcc
lally damnlng in that they expose the
utter hollowncss and hypocrisy Of the
only plausible claim which has ever
been put forward in behalf OF the pres.
ent management a more liberal and
humane treatment OF the lcpcrs has
been subject on which Mr.. Gibson
has harpcd throughout his whole pub
lie career in these islands In all the
various parts OF which he has played
since his advent in this country, he has
never failed to make humanity his
specially Whether editing an indie
pendent journal, or leading desperate
opposition in the national legislature
OF sitting in the seat Of power and au
,hori,y, he has played, with many varia
tons, the same tune. Who does not
remember with what pathetic eloquencc
he was wont to plead for these pooi
peoplc1 Who can have forgotten tn,
narrowing reciials of their physical SUI
ferings with which he was wont to cur
die our blood, or his touching dcscrip
ton Of their mental anguish when tori
from friends and home and hurried
away to living tomb at Kalawao
Shutting and dodging, squirming ant
twisting with reference TO almost every
question of public policy, he ncvc
failed TO plead for libcrality, kindness
and consideration in dealing with tn,
lepers.

THRUM's BINDE ERy.

THIS POPULAR BINDERy, located at
Io7, Fort Street, will be able in its set
tied quarters todoeven more satisfactory
work than that which has gained it such
liberal patronage and such willing APP
probation from the Honolulu trade.
IT ADvERTIsEs No SPEcIALITiEs,
but is able to do ALL sorts, sizes,
and conditions OF Book binding,
Ruling, Lettering, and Paper cutting
as well as in San Francisco, and at
moderate prices.
Al THIS COMPLETE BiNpERy
newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and
sheet music are neatly and simply OF
elegantly and sumptuously bound, as
taste and pocket may demand. Old
books are carefully and firmly rebound.
ALI DESCRIPTIONS OF BLANK
Books are made to order at as low
rates as are consistent with first-class
work. The Bindery is now using
Weston's Record" and Ledger I"
paper for all irst-class work. A large
invoice of this justly celebrated stock
has just been received from New York
The MACHINERY USED is all OF
improved pattern. The ruling ma
chine" with its new patent striker"
is equal to any in use in either the
United States or the Colonies, and its
recent work speaks for itself, being,
also. complimentary to the workman
who runs the machine. The other
machines used in the Bindery are for
cutting paper rapidly, for paging and
numbering, for perforating, Tor card
and pasteboard cutting, and for press
ing.

There is an objection made to the
Saturday-afternoon holidays that they
would inconvenience trade as now az
fected by steamer travel, and prevent
laborcrs, artisans, and clerks themselves
from taking advantage Of the present
4 PM. cessation of mechanical work on
Saturdays and doing their trading at
that hour. This might be obviated by
having all the stores kept open until
4 PM. Fridays. By such a system all
would have a chance to do their buy
ing without taking the time of en-
ployers, or preventing the establish
ment of a general half holiday. A con
temporary thinks Wednesday a better
day than Saturday to take a half holi.
day from. We do not think so. But
if majority of employers think so
we vii! cheerlully endorse the new idea,
But talking and writing about it will
not bring it about. What is needed is
organization.

And what do we see? We see a
fellow who calls himself II. Van
Giesen, whose character and antece-
dents the philantrophic Gibson dare
not make public, but whose language
and manners speak for themselves, in
charge of the branch hospital. We
see him strutting about with police
mans badge on his coat and revol-
yer sticking out of his pocket, playing
by virtue of the authority vested in
him by this same Gibson, the bully and
the tyrant over a lot of miserable crea-
lures whom fate and Gibson have put
at his mercy We see, him abusing his
power SO grossly that even the mild and
trac,able kanaka at length turns upon
the oppressor We see him arrresting,
imprisoning and Furnishing men without
process of law. We see him, deciding
what punishment is due to them who
have offended OF injured him, and in
ficting that law himself. We hear him
threatening whom he will send to
Molokai and see him sending them
there. And finally we see all his pro
ceedings virtually endorsed and con
doned by the great apostle of humani-
ty--Gibson, We have inquired into
the character Of this man who calls
himself Van Giesen; we have inquired
INTO his habitual language and manners
and the spirit and methods of his ad
ministration, and we find the facts fully
justify and more than justify the Ian
guage we have used. His retention il
his present position is a wrong to thS
lepers, an insult 10 humanity and Al
outrage on common decency

And now, after twenty years of
maneuverlng and scheming, OF plausi-
bic professions and unlimited promises,
the great Hawaiian Pecksnin is in
power. He is president of the board
of health rather, he is He board. The
two or three iigureheads who, for a
consideration, have allowed their names
to appear as his associates, may be dis
missed as of absolutely no account
whatever. Now, if ever, the policy of
kindness and humanity should have
free course and bring forth its perfect
fruits Now, should that tender
thoughtfuness and loving care of which
the benign and mercitul Gibson has
preached so constantly and for SO long,
be seen in every provision for these un-
happy people. Especially and above
all things should the branch leper hos
pital, situated right here in Honolulu,
within five minutes ride of the office
and residence of the president of the
board, in constant telephone commu-
nication day and night, and admins
tered almost literally under his very
eye, exhibit in their fullest perfection
the beauties of his benevolent rule
Here, directly under his control where
he can see them and converse with
them every day, and acquaint himself
with all their wants, are two hundred OF
these very people over whose misfor-
tunes and sufIerings his great heart has
yearned with such an unutterable love.
