REPRESENTATIVE DoLE made most tell
ing point against the self-styled Premier
and President of the Board of Health
when he analysed the Report of DR. Fitch
upon the leper settlement. Below will be
found the extracts which he read:
some months ago that noble minded Christian
man, Father Damien asked me to see a case he
had become coCuizant Of. Taking me to 4 little
vindowless hut. some K 10 feet, we found
young man in the last stages Of the disease. His
suit of clothes consisted of n pair of blue denim
overalls which, over the front Of his thighs were
saturated with pus from running sores; the flies
had got at him, and maggots were swRrming over
their prey before death could release him from his
suifennGs- This young man had given all he had
to another leper TO take Of him until he died
and the care be received was simply TO put his
food. some sweet potatoes and meat. and some
water TO drink on the floor beside him. and leave
him to his fate.
In March. while was at the settlement in coru-
pany with Drs. Stallard and Aiming made post
mortem examination of the body of a Young Girl:
in the course OF the work | cauGht hold of her
arm and turning If over, ] found my fingers in an
open ulcer crawling with maggots which Father
Damien said he had seen some DAYS before the
death OF the patient.
Some time ago a white man, living by himself.
laid for furty-eiCht hours without either food or
drink IN bis cabin, a victim Of one of the Sudden
fevers which are a part Of this disease. No one
had missed him sooner.
In May last, l went TO the settlement accom-
panyinG steamer load Of lepers: on board was
nice looking native woman, not leper. who was
going over with her Is year old daughter: when
the steamer left there TO return, the parting of
that young mother - years old. and her leper
daughter, left there TO serve the purposes of God
knows how many loathsome rakes. was something
pray to merciful God / may never have to
witness again.
What do these things mean? They
mean either that the condition of things
at the leper asylum Is so frightful that
one shudders to think of them. and that
this state of things has gone on with the
full knowledge of the person in charge. or
the the thing Is an exaggeration put for
ward by DR.. Fitch and published by the
Minister to gain little extra sympathy.
In the first case the Minister deserves not
merely censure but execration. If the
condition of affairs Is as the report states.
1t is an outrage on humanity. a crime has
been committed and the inhuman criminal
Is the Minister. If the report Is an exag-
geration. 1t Is an outrage upon the public
that such stuff should be printed and cir
culated under the stamp of government
approval The Minister Is on the horns
of dilemma: he Is welcome to which ever
no may CHOOSE

The GAZETTE has neither time, space nor
inclination to reply to the Adrertiscr of the
25th ult at any length As a mere tissue
of vulgar abuse the Adrertfser article will
not draw forth any retaliation. There are,
however. two points to be noticed: one is
this: our assailant says that the opposition
papers are not entitled to be called news
papers. In answer to this it is only neces-
sary to invite comparison to the GAZETTE
of the last or any other week, and the con
temporaneous issue of the -idrertisT The
latter consists of a column Of coarse abuse,
a column and half of dog story clipped
from another paper, two other clippings,
a quarter of a column of original matter
on the then forthcoming ball at the Hotel.
the departure of men-of war, and a letter
from Mr.. Gibson. The next page makes
up two columns of Legislature. projected
concert and Royal courtesies, and some
communications.
The idoa1iser may change ostensible
proprietors and ostensible editors as often
as it Will. but the trail of the serpent is
over 1t still 4 whole page of official di-
rectory, which doubtless goes far to &C
count for the $4,000 and odd of. public
money received while that page has been
in type. and few advertisements, most of
them old and many of them out of date,
90 to fill up a sheet which talks of others
not being Ronspapers.
The second and only other point to be
noticed IS this: Beginning with some
thing about honesty, deceacy, Just, earnest
purpose. which cannot but be respected.
the IdUcr7iser proceeds to give specimens
of Its own ideas of these qualities. Open
ing ont with the decent, Just, honest re-
mark that the Bullc'iR and GAZETTE are
''receptacles of a mass of falsehood, mis-
representation and scurTility." This writer
proceeds to illustrate its earnest purpose
by calling US a brace of "yelping and in
decent newspapers" who pile filth with
exaggerated lies whatever that may
mean. Infamous sheets journalistic
BASTARD this Is the decency taught by
our Censor Morum.1
The IdreTtiser. with all Its changes. is
the Adpatiser still. It is impossible tc
/ quote further because, as the pages of the
GAZETTE never condeseend to nasty vi
tuperation." an oversight of a composition
or a proof-reader might make it appear tc
strangers that this phraseology was om
own. Our regular readers know better

ceived from Gen. GORDON was dated In April.
Since that time merchant from kassala
Processes to have seen letter adore ssed by
GORDON to the Governor Of that place, and
tho Governor OF Dongola, whose loyalty
Is suspected, has forwarded copy Of
an Arabic despatch said to have come
from Khartoum. 1t is obvious that little
trust can be put In such evidence. and we
are confronted by the ominous fact that for
four months nobody In Cairo has seen line
Of GoRDoN's handwriting, or u telegram
which, being couciied in II private cipher
could be proved authentic. 1t does not ncces-
sarily follow that GORDON IL dead or u
prisoner; but the impossiblity Of sending q
letter from Khartoum does indisputably
prove that all the routes OF access or escape
are blocked.
There is just now lull In the cutlery for
GORDoN's deliverance, because the English
people IRE persuaded that his rescue will
certainly be brought about during the Par
liamentary recess But IL will behoove the
Ministry to lose no time in this business, for

promises when the House Of Commons reas

too heavily the patience of the British nation.
