EDITOR SATURDAY. PRESS The
sugar planter carries on his business,
as does evey other business man, for
the purpose of making money. This
end is legitimate and, with certain quail
ications, is for him, paramount These
qualifications are frSf-,hat the bust
ness be an honest and Legitimate one
andnot OF itself opposed 10 good morals,
or the public welfare; and SetoRd-
that the carrying on of that business
does not incidentally involve the use of
means or methods contrary to the
greatest good OF the greatest number
The sugar planting business is certainly
not liable to the objection first sug
gested II should be the study OF the
planter to see TO it that it does not be
come liable to the second.
Ii is almost the unanimous belief o
this community, that any considerable,
addition to our present Chinese popula
ton would be great misfortune ano
that its indefinite increase would bet
national calamity for which no increased
production OF sugar and no posslbl,
profits to those interesed would be an,
adequate compensation. The plante
wishes no harm to his neighbors. II,
simply wants to protect his own busi
ness interests. He disclaims any in
tention or desire to food the countr,
with laborers OF that class. He wishei
to let in such reasonable numbers a

bring down the price oil labor to such ;
rate as ne can afford to pay.
But what ground is there for suppos
ing that two OF three thousand, o
any reasonable number, of Chimes,
would have any such effect twelve

Mr.. William O. Smith is thoroughly
qualified to defend himself against the
attacks of the administration paper and
will probably do so in one Of the two
journals with which he is connected
though We think the community is in
such cordial agreement with him, in
the matter now at issue between him
and the administration mouthpiece,
that any defense of what he said re
Gently about the national finances is
quite unnecessary. However, pending
what he may say for himself, il seems
simple justice to say that his remark,
on that occusion were perfectly in or
der, eogently and clearly put and quite
true. The government papers reply
on the contrary, was Intentionally un
truthful or hopelessly silly.

Regarding the fatality Of this disease
in man, Gross says: "Of fifteen cases
collected by Rayer, one onlyrecovered.
He also says that the period of latency
rarely exceeds two or three days, and
that death takes place in majority OF
cases before the eighteenth day. We

glandered animals or in allowing them
about their yards. With regard to the
diagnosis of glanders it is compar-
atively an easy matter for any expert
enced and properly educated veterina
rianto distinguishitlrom other diseases
Moreover it has lately been discovered
that it is of parasitic nature. The
following on this point, copied from
Magnin and Stembergs recent work or
Bacteria, may not be without interest
"The discovery ofthe parasite OF glanders
has recently been announced by Schutaz an,
LocfFler, who have pursued an experimental
investigation relating to the etiology Of this
infectious disease Of the horse, in Koch's labor
atory in Berlin. The parasite is said to be
bacillus resembling that Of tuberculosis. II i

Of the disease. The culture medium employee

horse or sheep. This was inoculated with
bit cut from one Of the tumors, due precaution
being taken to prevent accidental contamina
tion. The bacillus multiplies abundantly il

species were inoculatcd with pure-cultures
and we're found to differ as to susceptibility
As rule, ulcers occurred at the point Of inocu

In case Of acquired glanders in man, recent

symptoms or atrophic T leprosy have
been sometimes developed, such as
sloughing and amputation of the finger

Simple anaesthesia of any part OF the

by staining Of the skin and other gen

EpIroR SAruRpAN Pass Ny !.
Your above remarks ON the question of
the farther admission OF Chinese labor
seem to- me substantially correct rs.
pecially as to the destructive effect
upon the Hawaiian family life, ot the
presence OF great numbers OF unmar
ricd Cinnamon, there can be only one
opinion. Some may, perhaps, assert
that the evil has already gone as far as
possible the native people are al.
ready ruined by such masses of Chinese
as are now here. But the prevalence
OF gricvous disorder does not Justify
the farther neglect OF sanitary meas
ures While there is life, there is hope.
There ccuainly still remain among
Hawaliase, very many households, in
which decided, and to good degree
successful, effort Is maintained TO repcl
the ubiquitous destroyer of virtue.
| The hearts OF all Christian workers,
! Catholic or Protestant, cry out against
any addition to the force that is so cs-
peoially active in the corruption OF the
too facile children of the land
Writing in behalf of Hawaiians,
would call for consideration OF their case
from another point of view The ma
tive people are great sufferers indus
trally from the Chinese, by the manner
in which the latter insinuate them
selves, as do no other people, into all
the c. qnnelS OF industrial exertion
naturally occupied by the Hawaiian
The greater part of the poi traffic has
been taken possession of by the Chinese
in Honolulu They do nearly all the
laundry work formerly done by natives.
They are largely in possession OF the
fisheries. On every side, the native is
being crowded out of his natural occu-
pations, and pushed to the wall. Any
large increase in the number of Chinese
will soon complete the work, and leave
the average Hawaiian dispossessed
My own sympathles are strong fol-
the planter have an indirect interest
in plantations. The planting interests
are grievously straitened, and they
naturally urge hard for this measure o,
temporary relief. But | cannot bu,
feel that the government must be sus
tanned in maintaining the course OF aC
ton previously determined upon. ''c
iorsake it would be a fatal weakness
Relief must be sought elsewhere thar
in the admission of more hordes OF
Chinese males The fact is that oui
great sugar interest finds itself in the
very common position OF the great
iron and other manufactures, where
the price OF labor necessitates the tenn
porary reduction of work as the onl,
remedy, although hard one. If nee
essary, diminish the acreage, and dc
without some of the labor. The coun
Try can survive on $4,000 ton crop
although 10000 tons may be neces
sary for good dividends.

DTl9NOsING LEPROSY.

In regard to the germ origin oflcprosy
and the significance OF anaesthesa
as a diagnostic symptom, we would
say, that the bacillus leprae is entirely
distinct from that of any other germ
yet found, resembling more nearly than
any other, however, the bacillus Of tub
erculosis. 1t is to be found, as Doctor
Aiming and other scientists aver, in
every leprous tubcrcle but not in the
blood or secretions Of leprous persons.
That this should be the case and that
it should be found in no other disease,
is to say the least strong presumptive
evidence that to the existence OF this
parasite leprosy owes its origin. Its
discovery and isolation, however, in any
tissue, is matter of difficulty not to be ac-
complished excepting by experienced
microscopists, as in order to be seen. it
requires to be stained, and to undergo
varoius delicate and complex manipu.
lations. Its extremely minute dimen-
slons, also, require the use Of very high
power emersion lenses.
