THE MIND READER.
He Sports a New Name and the Insignia
of a Grand Officer OF the order of
KapIolani.

Kamilomilanalois Bishop" was what
was written on the Palace Hotel register
by passenger who came from Homo
lulu on the steamer Alameda yesterday.
A Chronicle reporter sent his card to the
suite occupied by Kamilomilanalois, and
being invited into-the parlor was aston
ished at finding himself in the presence
OF Washington Irving Bishop, the mind
reader, whose many exploits and whose
sudden departure from San Francisco
caused much speculation on the part OF
his friends.
Bishop has very much improved in
health since he was last here, there
being now ruddy color in his cheeks
and so much fat on his bones that, as he
jokingly remarked, "my clothes don't fit
me-" The mind reader said that this
change in his appearance was wrought
by frequent indulgences in large Gala
bashes OF island poi and raw fish, of
which he has grown quite fond, and
which he says is very toothsome.
My experience while in the islands
were OF very pleasant nature" said
Mr.. Bishop. was treated royalty by
both commoner and King, all vying in
showing me every courtesy. Kalakaua
and his native subjects were both de-
lighted and astonished at my power OF
mind reading. His Majesty bestowed
upon me the name which l wrote upon
the register, and which means "Favorite
Son OF the Heavens" He also presented
me with large walrus tusk, inlaid with
plate of gold, on which is engraved my
Hawaiian name The Princess was also
very generous, and before took my de-
parture Hon. John Cummins presented
me with valuable parcel of land, on
which | intended to erect a summer
residence After a breakfast to which l
was invited by the King was decorated
with the insignia OF a Grand Officer OF
the Order of Kapiolani.
Speaking of his departure from this
city, Mr. Bishop states that he went di-
rect to Honolulu, and that the reports OF
his having been seen in Oregon and
British Columbia were false. He denies
that his reason was ever impaired, and
said that he was invited to spend few
days in private lunatic asylum in this
city by the proprietor, who is friend of
his, who wanted to get him away from
" the boys" who were making things
too lively for him, so that he could have |
few days rest.-[Chronicla, Aug. 5.

Capt. Nilsson Drowned.

The Hawaiian schooner Waiehu ar
rived at Kuau, Maui, with freight from
this port, on Saturday morning, 18th
inst. Captain Charles Nilsson, who was
both master and owner of the vessel,
gave instructions to his mate Ga Ha-
waiianl and crew to remain on board for
the night and watch the vessel until
morning, when they could land and 90

then went ashore in boat and went to
the house OF friend. On Sunday morn

the house saw his mate and crew max

got IN his boat, and rowed for the
schooner; but the wind blew stronger
and stronger till, unable to make head

adrift and trust himself to the mercy of
the wind. the wind increasing in fury

LAST Friday week the House
went into Committee OF the Whole to
discuss the bill providing for the issuing
of licenses to workingmen,- and spent
four hours in a fruitless discussion of it.
The bill has already been explained and
attacked in public, so that no detailed
explanation OF it is necessary here. 1t
is aimed of course at the Chinese, and
the debate Friday afternoon practically
resolved itself into a discussion of the
Chinese question. The weakness Of the
defense made for the bill lay in just that
fact. Glittering generalities were forcibly
INDUCED in, but not very much said
which was directly in point. Several
excellent speeches were made. Mr..
Kinney, for instance, made an address
which was admirable from the rhetori
cal point of view. 1t contained an allu-
sion to the upas tree which is an effective
metaphor, though q somewhat over
worked one. We could not help think
ing OF Horace's saw-"The mountains
are in labor, ridiculous mouse is
born" The rhetoric was wasted, for
after all when the smoke of battle had
cleared away nothing seemed to have
come of the contest. Mr. Kauhi sum-
married. the matter admirably when he
said the House had fshed all the after
noon and caught crab.

by Mr.. Kamauoha and most of his con-
freres was not shared by all the native
members. Reps. Kauhane and Ka-
laukoa came out boldly against popular
prejudice, and spoke and voted for the
bill. All honor to them both for firm
and patriotic course at critical moment,
with full credit to the half-dozen other
Hawaiians who voted to save the meas
ure. They have strengthened their posi-
ton with the country as men who are in
the House to save it, and not to propi-
tate votes.

lOOl dliu III d CIdD.
The object of the bill is to establish a
system OF registration by which the Gov
eminent can keep a careful watch over
the Chinese, be enabled to enforce the
vagrancy laws, and in general know
where it stands with reference to the
Chinese population. The objections to
the bill are that the registration secured
by it will be very imperfect, and that
the expedient adopted to bring about
even this imperfect registration is
equally imperfect and barbarous Why
the Committee should have hit on the
idea of licensing laborers in order to
compel them to register is not easy to
imagine. There is something in the
very idea of licensing a man to work
that is repugnant to Anglo-Saxon ideas.
That the right to perform manual labor
shall depend for its existence upon the
permission OF the Government to be
purchased by the payment OF a license
fee, is revolving to ones love of liberty
and sense OF personal independence
Perhaps We are appealing to prejudice,
to mere sentiment, but be that as it
may the prejudice is very deep rooted
one, and we doubt if anything can over
come its operation in the present case
short of the clearest proof OF the absolute
necessity of such system of licenses.
1t is sufficient to say that no such proof
was offered during the course of Fri
days debate, and it is very unlikely that
anything of the sort will be produced.
Doubtless there would be good many
advantages following from a complete
system OF registration of Chinese in this
country, but why must those advantages
be secured by putting every skilled
laborer in the country who has not paid
fee to the Government, a criminal ii
he attempts to lift a spade If it is de-
sirable that laborers OF a certain grade be
registered, let them be registered, but
not licensed. If it is necessary or desir-
able strictly to enforce this registration,
let a failure to comply with the law be
made misdemeanor, with a proper
penalty. But the registration should be
entirely free, and the right to work should
not be dependent in any way upon com
pliance with the provisions of the sta
tute, any more than the right to eat.
If it is necessary for purposes of identif-
cation that photograph be furnished,
that too might be required, the Govern
ment mourning the expense. We do not
see why bill draughted in accordance
with these suggestions would not meet
the objects aimed at, and certainly it
would obviate the principal objections
to the original bill If any system of
registration is adopted, however, it
ought to be made complete. We Ire not
sure that any attempt to introduce such
a system is at present advisable, but it
is worth considering. Every one ad-
mits that the Chinese question is trouble
some and must be dealt with, but it
must be dealt with in just and reason
able way, and by laws which can afford
some prospect of accomplishing their
object. We are unable to think that the
bill which the committee have draughted
in this case promises any fruitful or val
liable results. That being the case all
the upas trees in the world 1--WE say it
without disrespect to the upas tree) can
not save it.

The House spent nearly a day and
hall in the discussion OF the bill to facili-
tate the segregation OF lepers, although
it only contained few sections, and
dealt with a subject which has already
been thoroughly agitated, and upon
which the opinion of a majority Of the
House was well known. The time wasted
on the discussion was spent by the ma
tive members, most of whom fought the
bill section by section to the end. The
bill has already been explained in these
columns. The gist Of it is that it makes
it penal wilfully to conceal persons who
are lepers or suspected OF being such.
Some such law is absolutely necessary if
the Government is to succeed in the
vigorous crusade it has begun against
leprosy The report OF the President OF
the Board of Health shows that the Glib
son Government did practically nothing
to check the spread OF leprosy. No effort
was made to carry on the work OF segre-
cation. The number OF patients at Molo-
kai decreased, which meant, unfortun
ately, not that the disease was being
checked, but that it was being left to
destroy the Hawaiian race without an
effort being made to save them.

standing may as well be reached without
delay. 1t ought to be clearly understood
by the native members and their sup
porters that every one who takes the
stand that most of them have on this
question, forfeit thereby forever the re-
spect and confidence of their compeers
in the Legislature, and every one in the
country who has its interest at all at heart,
of all in fact except those who are base
and INSCRIPTIONS enough to be willing
to step to power over the dead body of
their country's prosperity. No matter
from what point of view the action of
these members is regarded, the result
condemns them. Ii they voted accord
ing to their consciences, all that remains
to be said is that men who can take the
stand they have are not possessed OF the
qualifications requisite for legislator,
are not in fact possessed of intelligence
sufficient to fit them for any position
which makes the least demand upon the
thinking faculty. On the other hand,
if these members voted as they did
knowing they were taking the wrong
side, :hey have of course deprived them
selves of public confidence. Let them
think to make capital out Of their
action before the electors in 80,
if they choose. They will find
they have reaped a harvest OF
contempt. 1t is OF no use for Mr.. Ka-
mauoha to get up and say publicly that
he is mot particularly opposed to this
bill, with other talk of an equally
infantile sort. The fact remains that he
moved to indefinitely postpone it. We
rejoice to say that the position taken
The Hawaiian gazette., 1888-08-28

Since the present Ministry came
into power, this criminal care
lessness has ceased, and deter
mined effort has been made to
weed out every case in every district,
and send every one infected to Molokai.
The effort has been attended with partial
success, but that success cannot become
complete until the efforts of the Ministry
are reinforced with properly effective
laws. At present the hands OF the Gov
eminent are tied. The bill now before
the House will 90 far toward furnishing
the necessary conditions to vigorous
effort to stamp out the disease before it
has destroyed the Hawaiian race. The
bill is one which is just and moderate in
its provisions, and lays no grievous or
improper burden on anyone. 1t is
measure conceived in the interest OF the
Hawaiian, who is far more deeply in
terested in it than anyone else can be,
because the very existence of the race is
at stake. What then should be thought
OF those Hawaiians in the House, who,
for political purposes, or to gain momen-
tary popularity, have set their faces
against the bill, opposed it by their
voices and their votes and gone on the rec
ord as the worst enemies of the Hawaii
an race, enemies who stab insidiously,
while wearing the mask of friendship.
