PUBLIcITY-how people shrink from
the word. 1t is such an unpleasant
thing, this same publicity. Well, there
can be too much publicity. There is too
much publicity in some things at the
present day. AS for instance when a
morbid curiosity urges newspapers to
publish the details of the private life of
certain individuals. When frightful
crimes are infinitely described. Yes, in
these things and in many others there is
too much publicity. We grant this at
the outset. But if giving unnecessary
facts to the public is to be condemned.
the giving of necessary ones is to be
highly applauded. In truth the gain
obtained by letting people know when
and how things are being done more
than counterbalances any lapse of good
taste or any narrowing detail which may
be put forward by journal.
No country needs the light of the
newspaper more than the Hawaiian
Kingdom. In Honolulu the ADVERTISER
strives to cast as strong CLEAN upon all
matters as it is possible. No interest of
party or individual prevents us from saw
ing what we believe is true and right
from denouncing what we feel sure is
wrong. Our columns are open to citi-
zens who feel aggrieved, so are those of
our contemporary the Bulletin and fire.
quent use is made of both. But how
about the other Islands? 1t is hard to
get anyone bold enough to make even a
plain statement of fact, let alone to try
to redress wrong. Things occur ayay
from Honolulu, which would never occur
were the light of publicity let in. Wrong
and oppression, knavery and rascality
occur, and occur unreproYed. WHY?
Because there is no newspaper publicity
to make the strong and the roguishly in
cllned to keep within bounds. If only
those who suffer oppreesion-we mean

petty oppression, the law courts provide
redress for fragrant cases-or those who
suffer from knavery or rascality would at
once state their wrongs to the public,
the oppressors and knaves would soon
find that these methods are not safe
enough, and would give up the game as
bad job.
Few people in Honolulu know how
much petty injustice is done upon the
other Islands. Whenever case comes
to our knowledge we do our best to lay
the matter before the public, but our In
formation is far too meagre. "To write
for the papers" is regarded in some dis
tricts as little short of a capital crime.
Away with them, "Anathema Mariana
tha," they have touched the accused
thing and should be at least ostraclzed'
root and branch. In happier times they
could have been forced to leave the COM
munitv, but now the bigoted and mar
row-minded dare not proceed to too
severe measures.
The opponents of newspaper publicity
can be divided into two classes. Those
who fear because they are exercising an
undue power over people Of lesser means
than themselves and those who belong
to a narrow religious circle. Both are
equally bad and both are equally cow
ardly. If those who suffer from them
would only air their wrongs it would sur
prise themselves how quickly and easily
they could be overcome. Most over
bearing people are towards at heart.
This has appeared in history over and
over again. 1t only requires the bold
front to meet the weak kneed ogre. If
such people know that their acts are
going to be called in question, if they
know that the facts of the case are laid
before the public, they are going to be
very chary of doing anything that will
bring them under the editorial lash and
the scorn of their fellow-citizens.
There are dozens OF places on the
Islands which would be very comfort
able to live in were there only little
healthy newspaper to keep the people in
order. Many petty tyrant would
SILVER in his boots, did he know that his
mean tyranny were going to be exposed
to the public eye. Many bigot would
stink into obscurity did he think that
ray Of newspaper criticism was going to
illuminate his little narrow ways and
bring him before the bar of public opinion,
and finally many half-hearted rogue
would stop in the midst OF his rascality,
if he felt certain that the story OF his
doings was not going to remain as a
story, in the little village where he
played his rogueries, but was going into
such shape as would bring it before the
eye of every one in the community.
Publicity is what is wanted. We are
glad to see many correspondents are be-
ginning to appreciate this. But only
beginning has yet been made. We look
for plenty of fruit in the future. Pub
licity will do a great deal for those living
in the country districts.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
Banco, rendered a week ago, in
the matter of the Chinese who were not
permitted to land from the Australia on
a former trip, is most important one.
1t sets at rest the mooted question of the
validity OF the Chinese Restriction Act
of 1887 which was strengthened at the
recent session. The opinion very prop
erly refrains from discussing the advisa-
bility of the Act, but states that the Leg
islature was acting within the undoubted
scope of its authority. Mr.. Justice Dole
dissents, not as against the validity
of the Act, but that, on the con-
stitutional provision-that no person
shall be deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of
LAWN the case at bar it was not
shown that such detention was upon due
process of law. The opinion will proba-
bly, be published shortly and doubtless
will, in connection with the majority
opinion, prove of great interest in view of
the effect upon the Chinese question.

ter. The blame, if blame there be, can
be placed upon some of the native papers
which have denounced the efforts max
ing by the Government to stamp out the
terrible disease. Denunciation has not
rested with talk, it has advised armed
resistance. For such advice the papers
ought to be punished severely. There is
hardly any doubt that to such advice as
this the trouble is due. 1t is a sufficiently
trying matter without the added diff
Guilty of any breach of the peace. The
leprosy question is the harder to deal
with because the Hawaiian as rule
cares nothing about it. He will sleep,
eat and drink with recognized leper,
even using the same utensils and clothing.
There are cases well authenticated where
lepers have married perfectly healthy
persons without objection or opposition.
Under such circumstances help from
these people is not to be expected. The
more intelligent natives know perfectly
well, however, that the only safe course is
segregation, and few of them are in favor
of it. But more use the prejudice of the
poor and ignorant as political lever,
and with what result, the encounters on
Kauai few months ago and that of Eva
day before yesterday well attest. If re-
sponsibility can be fixed on any one for
this affair it ought not to be passed over
in silence In all such cases, however,
justice should be tempered with mercy
if possible. The breaking up of families
is terrible thing, and little as the do
mestic relations are regarded the Ha-
waiian as a rule fights for his family.

SUGAR BY ELECTRICITY.

The Philadelphia Record prints the
following interesting account of an al
legged perfecting OF a method of refining
raw sugar by electricity.
Sugar merchants and brokers all over
the country are in a furry at the an
nouneement recently made to the effect
that the much-mooted process OF refining
raw sugar by aid of electricity had been
brought to a consummation, and that by
the middle of next month a refinery
using this process exclusively would be
in operation. 1t is said that a party of
English and American capitalists, repre-
senting at least SIS ,000, 900, is now pre-
pared to erect electric refneries in all the
principal cities on both continents, if the
process should be proved to be success
full by the 10th of October. If the
scheme is all right it will cause revoIu-
ton IN sugar refining that will mark an
important era in the history of that
article OF commerce.
This system is, however, the same
that has been in process Of completion
for the last ten or fifteen years, and it is
the same that has so repeatedly failed in
accomplishing its purpose that the faith
of those who at one time believed in its
ultimate success was so frequently
shocked as to create prejudice against
it and eventually secure the condemna-
ton and arouse the incredulity of its
erstwhile advocates. Of late years an
almost universal opinion, declaring the
system to be unpracticable, has been in
existence, and nothing short of a thor
ough exposition of the system and its
principles will restore the faith of men
In the sugar trade. This, it is claimed
has been given; but it was satisfactory
only to degree
In refinery in Brooklyn a few DAYS
ago quantity of raw sugar was refined
In the presence Of party of gentlemen
interested in the process. Thirteen bar
rels OF the raw material were refined at
the recent test. The raw sugar was mt
into receiver, from which it passed
through two secret rooms containing the
machinery before being run into barrels
IN rehned state. What the machinery
Is no one apparently except the inventor
seems to know. The raw sugar goes
into the receiver, and once it leaves that
simple place OF mechanism it is not seen
again until it finds its way out through
chute at the further end of the two
mysterious machinery rooms. DURING

was turned out at the rate of one barraI
