purposes could easily have been obtained.
Sanitary measures are popular and the
members OF the opposition would have
favored an expenditure for such purposes.
What the Minister wanted he got. and it
is rather late in the day for him to come
forward and say that his appropriation is
too small to carry out needful reforms in
the sanitation Of Honolulu. 1t argues
that either the President Of the Board OF
Health, when he instructed the Minister
of Foreign Affairs to lay before the Min
lister Of Finance the needs OF his bureau,
was either wilfully ignorant or terribly
careless.
The whole thing. however, lies in a nut
she'll The health of the city, the health
or well being of either native or foreigner
has never troubled even the dreams OF the
Cabinet, The whole secret OF the anxiety
now displayed is. votes. A little stir made,
pathetic appeal on account of lack OF
funds, and il Is hoped that the earelessness
of eighteen months can be atoned. The
move however, is transparent Activity
at this end of the biennial period cannot
couuter-balance disgraceful neglect dur
ing the earlier part 1t viii be needless
at the polls TO point TO what has been done
during tins little rush, for il can be shown
for how long no care about the public
health ruffied the serenity Of the Minis
terial dreams The whole thing has very
much the appearance Of an attempt to lock
the stable after the horse has gone.

which the same Minister forwarded to the
gentlemen of San Francisco who signed

To tiis the policy Of the Government
NAV drive the country: it of course, means
national bankruptcy Every class Is inter
esfed in preventing such suicidal policy
beino carried out. There Is no doubt IN
the minds of all thinking people that a
4wanton disregard of the interests OF the
kingdom" IS lust what the present ring
which rms the Government Is thoroughly
canable of. 1t remains for the voters of this
country to show that "wanton disregard"
of their own and the national interests Is
what they will not tolerate. Reciprocity
Is most important to Hawaii, it Is i'm
menselv important to the American IN
terests in Hawaii. Without Reciprocity
the Asiatic leanings OF the Government
would have full swing. The Eastern i'm
arinationn of the Minister of Foreign Al
fairs makes him fear the influence of the
great west. But all who love the Hawai-
ians. all who love this fair land, and all
who love progress and Christian clvillza-
ion. look towards the tightening of the
bonds of amity between the Great Repub
lie and her puny neighbor. There IS no
greater factor in the tightening of these
bonds than the Reciprocity Treaty. We
might, of course, get on without it; but its
loss would mean financial ruin to thou
sands; the exodus of every mechanic in
the place. and set back to the progress
of the county, which ii would take years
to recover. which might. in fact, never be
recovered. The fair fields of Hawaii
would be deserted. the American, the Ger
man and the Englishman would have to
seek fresh pastures and the country would
sink into the dull calm of raising sweet
potatoes and taro. That is the prospect
supposing the insane hatred of one man is
allowed to have full play. 1t would not
be the first country that has been ruined
by mis- government. Some of the fairest
spots on the globe have been e'er now
ruined. We must make our minds to pre-
vent Hawaii becoming the text for another
poem like Goldsmith's Deserted Village"

"The country blooms garden and graver'

The imbroglio in Eastern Europe be
comes more complicated as time goes on.
and il is difficult to form a perfect idea Of
what is really going on from merely read
ing the kilograms. One thing is evident
on the face. The petty Christian States
OF Eastern Europe are not united. Each
one is jealous of the other. The bare
thought that Roumania was going to gain
territory in Roumelia has sent Seryia with
IFS full military force agog to attack its
neighbor. Greece. too, Is jealous of both
Roumania and Seryia, and wants a piece
OF Macedonia to counter balance anything
they may get United action among such
races is impossible. If the Turk were left
alone he could settle his own affairs, but
that corner Of Europe Is too important to
allow him to quietly gobble up the little
Christian States.
There can be no doubt that Russia is at
the bottom of the Roumelian revolution
Of six weeks ago. Her object now seems
to be to get rid of King Milan of Servia
and Prince Alexander Battenberg of Rou-
mania, and to replace them by Prince
Karageorgewich, who will rule the two
countries, subject to Russian control.
Kurageorge's. or Black Georges. father
was ruler Of Seryia before it was independ-
ent. and was assassinated. He Is populor
with a large section of the inhabitants and
has lately allied himself by marriage with
the Prince of Mentcnegro-the Emperor
Of Russia supplied the brides dowry and
the Empress presented her with a superb
casket Of jewels. This was not done for
pure love OF the Karageorges.

throw the influence of Austria in the Slav
States Of Turkey. She will then be all the
more able to turn her attention to the over
throw of English influence at the Sublime
Porte The unfortunate little States are
being used as ninepins, to be bowled over
at Russia's sweet will Should an out
break occur however, Russia might not be
able to control ii. the conhagration would
spread and the question of English or
Russian supremacy would he fought out
around the Balkans, instead of among the
rocky passes Of Afghanistan. There is
almost no end to the speculations which
can be INDUCED in with regard TO the pres
ent difficulty in Roumelia; few peasants
and brigands have had II in their power
TO set Europe by the ears, and even if
settlement is arrived at now, they will have
it in their power to cause the same diff
Guilty again. The news by the next mail
will be eagerly looked for by those who

modern history and comparing it with the

SO THE Government has come TO the con
clusion that the gold law ought TO be en-
forced. II is, OF course, somewhat late in
the day TO come 10 this conclusion. for
they have managed TO distribute among
the inhabitants OF this country the sum of
Sl,O00.000, paying their own debts in the
SIC. coin. Now that the community have
TO pay it Is in gold that the debt is de-
manded The whole thing is a part of a
system The Government is not now for
the benefit Of the people, il is now for the
benefit OF a few individuals. There has
been fair swindle in forcing the SIC. sill
yer on the country, and now there is to be
a turn round and an appeal to law The
gold law was good law, but il was meant
30 act both ways. The people were to pay
gold but the Government were TO repay
them in gold. As il now stands the peo
pie have been paid in silver by the Gov
ernment and are now requested to paw
back in gold. A number Of our mercantile
houses have honorably paid in gold of
their own importing At the present mo
ment those houses stand high as regards
their integrity and obedience to the law.
but we should like 10 know where the
Government standsl They have paid the
employees in silver, and have thrown upon
their poor salaries the expense of finding
gold TO pay their large debts. A Govern
meut which has defed the law in the
manner the present Cabinet has must ex-
pect execration for the action it takes.
There are other ways Of carrying out the
gold law but this. The commencement
should have been made from above, not
from below. This is but grinding of the
face of the poor. But what would not the
present ring do 10 get a dollar Let the
poor rot SO long as there is wealth for a
favored few.

Tho Temperance Question in HiIo.

EDITOR GAZETTE "A prominent citizen of Hilo
recently said: am not what you would call
Temperance advocate. | am not and have not
been total abstainer, have always taken little
beer or if need be something stronger; tut must
say that what have seen of the liquor business
in the last few months in the town is enough TO
make Temperance Advocate out of any man.
Good solid sensible natives that have known
from their childhood up models of sohriety and
industry withstOOd everything until the licensed
saloon came; now they may be seen dead drunk
two or three times week. Stable, sensible old
men who once mourned over the degradation of
their sons now too habituay drunk to recognize
or understand their own fall. Many natives own
ing considerable property the result of industry
and sObriety have lost are fast losing their
all over the counter or otherwise in the saloon.
The whole native population of the town Is
gravitating with increasing rapidity towards the
grave of drunkenness. Every day see fresh signs
of it, fresh victims, more complete subsection.
The native race is doomed and the licensed saloon
is the last nail in the coffin. They say il is no
worse now than IN the old days when every China
store sold it. tell you there two good points
about tho Chinaman. He didn't go out into the
street and entice n man in, and il man was
little the worse he would not give him any more
it was all gone. These were two very good points
about the chinaman. But let man come into
town now from one of the plantations with little
money in his pocket aud an agent of the saloon
will follow him up and keep at him until his money
