Wanted--Women.

EDITOR GAZErTE:-To all who have given any
serious thought to Hawaiian affairs, it is evident
that the pOllticO-SOcial problems growing out of
the great disparity of the sexes are among the
gravest which our would-be statesmen are called
upon to consider. That the great prepOnderance
Of males which we have in these islands is not
only present evil but that it threatens tue most
serious consequences to the moral and social we'll.
being of our. people in future is something l
need not stop TO prove. II is self evident almost
as an axiom in mathematics. Upon any one who
could deny so plain and Obviousla proposition,
argument would be wasted.
Such being the case, We turn naturally to the
figures of the recent census to see what measure
of encouragement or the reverse may be derived
therefrOm, Having given the matter somewhat
careful and trust candid consideration, / find
myself unable to draw from the statistics in ques-
ton quite as much encouragement as our genial
and optimistic POstmaster-General expresses in
the last number of the Planters Monthly. 1t is
pleasant to prOphesy smooth things, but with
every disposition to look on the bright side can
not, after comparing the present figures with
those of SIX years ago, share his hopeful conclu-
siOns The whole thing 50 far the census is
concerned, lies in a nutshell. The pertinent
question Is not how many females there are in the
country but what ratio they bear to the whole
population; not how much their number has in
creased in given time, but how that increase
compares with that of the other sex. II the eI-
istug disparity is an evil, then only according as
the statistics show that disparity TO be diminish
ing can they be regarded as atfording any ground
for encouragement Now what are the facts?
It is true that since 1873 there has been an in
crease of 5,l5I IN the total number of females but
it is also true that in the time there has been
an increase of II, 1856 in the total number of males
In other words, of the % $50 persons who have
been added to population in the last six years.
11l7 per cent, have been males and only p 80 per
cent, females. Assuming an equalization of the
sexes 10 be desirable, would ask how long it will
take with the male population increasing more
than three times rs fast as the female, to bring
that equalization aboutr In order to make this
matter clear possible and to accommodate
those who wish TO examine it little more in
detail, present the following condensed state.

IT Is only few months ago that we
gave an outline of the life and achieve
ments of Maj. Gen. Charles Gordon. c. b.
OF the Royal Engineers, that little remains

OF his career. 1t may be remembered that
the hhedive of Egypt. Ismail Pasha was
removed by the Joint action of Western
Europe and Tewfik put in his place. it
thus became incumbent on the same pow
ers to uphold the authority of their ncmi-
nee. This being assaulted by military
rebellion under Arab Bey. England
alone, the other powers having refused to
act put down the rebellion and at the
same time required Tewfik. TO withdraw
his troops and officials from the Soudan
and hand over the country to its own cho-
sen rulers. 1t was believed that Gordon
alone. If present in person, would effect
this He undertook the task at a few
hours notice and with one comrade. Col.
Stewart. murdered. made his way to Khar-
toum. where he at once put down the cru
city and injustice Of the Egyptian officials
and succeeded in withdrawing a few thou-
sand civilians. women and children. He
was soon, however. besieged by the forces
OF the Mahdi. Against enemies without
and traitors within he held his own until
january 9th, then almost within reach of
a British rescuing expedition when the
crowning act of treachery delivered the
city aud ITS defenders, and remaining non
combatants to the Mahdi, by whose officers
they were butchered. In his. latest dis
patches Gordon resents the idea that he
was the object of the relieving force. but
that 1t was the garrison and traders left
IN the territory to be abandoned. He and
they have persisted together, betrayed. it
Is said. by man whom Gordon had re
leased from drove of slaves and had grad
ually raised TO position of trust. The
final acts in this terrible drama have vet

VIGILANCE is the safety lamp of life
said an eminent speaker and he said well;
unless we are constantly vigilant, we can
easily be betrayed. We have story to tell
which will show how necessary it is for
this community to constantly keep Vi gi-
liant
Many months ago two leper girls were
sent to the hospital at Kakaako. One was
a known prostitute, the other was a
school girl in the Kawaiahao Semina nv.
They were sisters. From some cause or
other these girls were placed under the
special charge of DR.. Aiming. He treated
them in a special manner and both under
the administration of DR.. Fitch and DIR
Webb he has continued to specially treat
them. About fortnight ago when DIR.
Aiming went to his daily work at the hos
pital, he found the girls were missing.
Where were they? Enquiries instituted
showed that they had been discharged
The question then came, upon whose au-
thority?" 1t must be clearly understood
at this stage, that these were special pa
tients, and that their discharge. as cured.
should have depended upon the specialist
who was attending them. He had given
no such discharge.
Enquiry produced what? This: that the
physician, DR. Webb, in charge of the hos
pital had discharged the girls. Enquiry
further-why? Because the President of
the Board of Health had ordered. But
the President of the Board ought not to be
able to dictate in such matters Well; the
President had stated that an influence
stronger than his had urged him forward,
an influence which he could not refuse.
What was there for Government official
TO do? Could he throw away his salary
and refuse? MOI He must obey. and de
spite his anxiety on the subject he had
been obliged to yield-so far Dr. Webb.
Now what was the force used? Clearly
one of two things Either the Board of
Health had ordered their employee to do
what he did, or a stronger power than the
Board had been brought to bear to let
these lepers loose upon the town.
The expression used by DR.. Webb, was,
as far as We can learn, that power over
which he had no control had ordered him
TO do what he did He was there to obey.
Application then 10 that power. Appli
cation direct showed that King Kalakaua
had given no such order: that Ministerial
order had not emanated from him. on his
Royal word.
Here there is a dilemma. The Minis
terial representative, DR.. Webb, says he
acted under orders of the President Of the
Board of Health. The King says he gave
no special orders. The lepers were dis
charged Why were they discharged
There Is nice point of honor about this
matter, apart from its terrible significance.
Who has told the true story SThe King
can do no wrong Is it the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs and President of the Board
of Health. or is it DR.. Webbl

OSE OF the moves on the board is tomake
silver scarce. This will not be difficult il
the provisions of the unsigned Declare
ton twas it of Independence come to be
carried out. Lock up tightly in the Treas
ury the bulk of the silver. and the balance
that can be handled by the public will
cause a seeming dearth Of silver. The ipse
is, however, plain enough, and no artificial
dearth, SO called, will make the people of
Hawaii think one whit differently upon
the silver question. A clear swindle has
been perpetrated upon them already. and
they have had to pay dearly enough for 1t.
further swindle is intended and it rests
with them whether they will bear being
swindled nd iafHiIpia.
The artificial scarcity of silver is one
move, but there is threat abroad that If
tins community be not subservient another
move viii be resorted to; the Legislature
may be called together and the gold law
abolished This is what, in their Utmost
hearts, the men now in power think is their
strong card; they mean to try and terror
ize the community.
IL Is but very poor move.
Our people are not quite fools. A man
would come in TO buy: if he rendered gold
he would get what he wanted for saw S..
if silver for Sc. You cannot maxi com.

Surely you'll be your pint stoup,
And surely I'll be mine"

The opinion which some entertain that
there is something unnecessarily aexpen-
sive" in gold currency is based on no
principles of reasoning, and on no facts,
as far as we have heard.
Coined money must have value initself
and not merely an arbitrary, fictitious
value. Its function as a medium of ex-
change, for buying and selling, and so of
measuring or showing the values of other
property depends upon its having value
in itself; otherwise counters" of no spe-
cial value would be as good as money
The beads, cowries and cobra which the
ignorant savage uses for his medium of
exchange have commercial value among
civilized nations: but such money would
be the most expensive" because it is cum
brous, variable and cheap. which no civilized
people could use.
BY common consent, the precious metals.
silver and gold, are used for coined money
wherever civilization exists The more
valuable the metal is, the better, as long
as it is available las gold isl in sufficient
quantities for the uses to which money is
put.
Why is silver required to be used at all
then, even for subsidiary coin7 We
know nc reason for this, except for the
purpose of utilizing the silver mine pro
ducts of the country which legalizes silver
coin, and because it is more convenient
than gold for small change.
In this country we have no silver mines
to work off, and there is noreason for hay
ing silver money for any purpose except
for small change. Five dollar payments
are the largest which (for this reason) need
to be made in silver coin.
1t is plain enough that if dollar CON
tains less value, prices advance, sooner or
later, accordingly. Eighty cents will not
buy rs much as one hundred cents.
This country cannot by the amount of
value it places on its coins, change the In
ternational or commercial value of gold or
silver bullion one iota
But the real reason why gold is by some
deemed to be expensive, is that people
send it away, or do not put it in circula-
ton, (which is practically the same thing
as sending it away,) while they circulate
or get rid Of silver coin as fast as they can.
They do not hoard it, if they can get gold
to hoard, because they are afraid its value
will vary and fall, and do not export it be
cause it will not bring as much as it costs
them
But there would be no reason for this
dread of boarding and exporting gold IN
stead of circulating it, or paying it out
freely, if it were not for the presence of
the cheaper silver coin. 1t does no human
being in this country any legitimate good
to have cheap silver; it would do no one
any possible harm if gold currency were
in full circulation Instead of the latter
being undesirable on account of its value
or expense, it is the most to be desired, for
all reasons. Its value is permanent and
world wide.
When it is demonstrated that country
can prosper better by having clipped coins
because they are of less value, are less
expensive than unclipped coins-then ii
can be admitted that gold currency is
to be avoided on account of its greater
value or cost.
