" ASSURED" 4"

EDlroR BuLLETlN:-The IdUcr-
Hscr dcprccatcs that Mr.. Ashford
should have rushed into print con-
corning the question of leprosy in
the public schools, and says that
"by enquiry at the Office of the
Board of Health in this matter, he
would have been assured that he had
been listening to n malicious inven-
ton"
No doubt the President of the
Board of Health would have "as-
smcd' him! The recent records of
our Boards show that the individual
members have little or nothing to
say in any matters of public inter-
est; and, so long rs the press re-
mains silent on the leprosy question,
so long will lepcrs enjoy immunity
from segregation laws. So long rs
the public sentiment will be soothed
or stined by the spccious theories or
forbidding frowns of the President
of the Board of Health, so long may
we be assured" that leprosy will
stalk umbridled in our midst. These
are facts that all the sophistry of
the independent organ cannot
erase from the public mind.
The passive inaction of Mr.. Cleg-
horn, the only member of the Board
Of Health, who is not a member of
the Cabinet, deserves the severest
censure, the more so from his rela-
tionship to His Majesty which alone
should make him deeply interested
in the welfare of Hawaiians.
The independence of the "organ'
will never exist so long as its editor
holds his present government APP
pointment. He cannot be expected
to censure his master or any other
official who may deserve censure,
and its recent rapid bacllsliding to
its old platform, have been only too
apparent.
There are only two members of
the Board of Health besides the
President there have been no meet
ings of the Board for many months.
For what work does the Secretary tC
the Board receive his salary? Fol
whom does he act, for Mr.. Gibson
the Board of Health or for the pub.
lie who pay him. The only benefit
he has yet conferred upon the public
is by endorsing the action of Mr.
Ashford in saying that ''by conlinins
4 number of persons or animals il
any place, Of whom some have /;
transmissible disease while the res
are healthy, the healthy may become
diseased" This is applicable, OIL
the subject of lcprosy, not only tc
the schools, but to the whole commrl
nifty. / am, Sir, one who is

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
An Important Circular from the Republi.
can State Committee.

The Republican State Committee has sent to each
trict, county, city and town committees circular
letter inclosing copy of the civil service act and
circular from the Republican Congressional com
mittee. The letter dated at the headquarters OF
the State committee at Auburn, reads as follows:
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY.
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
AUBURN, Me-, April 1, 1884.
Dear Sir We enclose copy of a circular rela-
tive to the "Civil Service Act"
Its careful persual may affect the formation Of
the committee in your town.
If any charge made in consequence of this ciTca-
lar, or from any other reason, please be kind
as to inform us Immediately.
Very Truly Yours,
HENRY NJ. SPRAGUE, Secretary.
The following is the circular of the Republican
Congressional Committee:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE REPUBLTcANl
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE,
WASHINGTON, ID. O., March Is, 1884,
Dear Sir-H you will read the 11th, 18th, 18th,
14th and 18th sections of the Civil Service Act ap-
proved January 18th, 1888, you will see that IL
in the service of the United States is q member.
should directly indirectly solicit receive from
any person In the service of the United States an
assessment, subscription, contribution or other val
liable thing, to b@Rpplied to the promotion Of any
political object whatever such member of the com.
mittee being in the service of the United Stater
would, on conviction, be lat 10 to fine imprison-
ment, or both, in the discretion Of the Court.
The alternative appears to DO either to consti-
tute the county, district and state committees In
your State so as to omit from them all persons In
the service of the United States; or, having upon
them such persens to refuse all mOneyed assistance
from persons in the service of the United States.
