Nh. EDITOR: In this legislation for
Hawaiiaus, now in process of en-
actment, I notice two measures
OF pernicious immortality. There
is the ACT to mitigate" seeking
TO make easy the way OF the transgres-
sor; and the Bill to amend the divorce
Law, !" making it easy to rid ones self of
the obligations OF the marriage covenant.
Those OF Us who are working for the up
lifting OF the Hawaiian people are
amazed that in any corner Of Christen-
dom, there should be found in this age
Of advanced civilization, Christian men,
unfolding and advocating such legisIa-
ton. Are cur legislators ignorant that
tie % Contagious Diseases Acts" after
which the Hawaiian act was modelled.
from the day they were passed till the
day they we're repealed, were denounced
az disgrace and shame to the British
Parliament Laws may have little
power 70 make men good but thew NAV
contraFene Gods law Of retributiye
justice, and foster vice rather than re-
press It. The Britishg Law was erased
from .he statute-bOok in 1888. after
twenty years Of persistent agitation and
setItion; 90 easy Is it 70 decree iniquity
by law, and 50 difficult to undo the
wrong. Some Of the worst abuses
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-08-21

under these Ubiquitous acts have been
committed in the Government regulation
o. vice in India. But now after only
one short year OF public appeal, so
recently as this last June, resolution
was presented to Parliament demanding
the Immediate and total abolition Of this
iniouity throughout the Indian Empire,
and on its first presentation it was car
ried, without one single vote against 1t.
1t is high time that Christian people IN
Honolulu should demand in language
that cannot be misconstrued, that this
ubiquitous "Act to Mitigate" shall be
wiped off at once from the Hawaiian
statute book. How many Christian
people are there in Honolulu, who care
in the least for the bodies or souls Of
these licensed women? Why not relieve
at once the Trustees of the Queens Hos
pital from their obligation to keep the
women that are to be found in the wards
OF that institution, month after month";
There they are supported at the public
expense, under the guise OF Christian
charity; then sent out again to ply their
legalized, nefarious trade. Will no one
utter word OF remonstrance2

The Anti-scrsen CLAUSE.

Mr.. EDITOR; Your editorial yester-
day upon the anti-screen bill rather put
me in the light of having voted against
that bill because was afraid we would
be showed under in 1890 if we did.
As matter OF fact believe in the anti
screen bill and am willing to advocate it
before the electors at any time; but my
position was that as we had secured for
the revolutionary party the votes Of the
liquor men and all classes who would
naturally oppose this measure, by facility
or expressly agreeing that we would not
touch this social question, it would
not be right for US after we had got in to
make 4 radical change in the liquor laws
simply because we were in, and that
any such snap judgment would not in
the long run help the temperance people.
No radical change either for the liquor or
the temperance men would be just this
session. Such changes will have to be
settled directly at the ballot box.

free from any pledge-except to support
the reform platform Mr. Kinney led
the opposition 10 the screen law on the
theory that the present House has no
right to meddle with the question, that
the only fair and honorable method is TO
submit the whole question TO the sui
frages Of the electors in 1890. and thAt
those who take any other course now
VIII De overwhelmingly showed under
in 1890. This ST least assumes that IN
overwhelming number Of electors are
opposed 70 any restrictive legislation on
the liquor question. It does not seem to
accord with the great number OF petit
tons TO the LAST session from all over the
country PRAYING for restriction snd pro
hibition legislation We believe that
the Attorney-General presented the mat
Ter IN the correct light: that il would
have been better not TO have introduced
the bill 81 alI, but IS It had come before
the Legislature the only manly way was
10 treat the question wholly on lis merits.
As for himself he Was perfectly willing TO

warm debate Perhaps our ears were
closed by prejudice, but We heard no

an argument, except the statement that,
- 70 iIiterate persons, the bill would
not secure absolute s7eresy This is
true, but il 50 important law IS going

The other arguments advanced by the

hostility 70 : provision which VIII dis
franchise according to Noble Smith his
constituency, and 50 reIsgate him to
private life Minister Thurston's great
argument WIS that, although this law Is
: very fine thing znd secret voting IS the
ideal way, yet We are not up 10 It. Its
good for others but not for Is And this
argument he fortified by producing some
statistics of IIiteracy II this country
Unfortunately, he furnished no eonpara-
tive statistics, which OF course broke
down his arguments entirely. The At

premise, showing that IN the Province

population, this L4w has worked for

Rev. K. {. Gates, from earthly labOrS and use
fulness, into that eternal rest which remaiueth

grief is chastened ny faith which 10 ks 10 q
