Reply to Father Olivier.

Mr.. EDITOR: / have read Father Oil
vier's reply to my observations on certain
incidents connected with the schools in
Kohala. and although a fitting answer
thereto would require more thought than
l have had to give to it at the present
writing, will endeavor to express a few
ideas on the subject.
Allow me to say at the start, that in
penning the observations and structures
above referred to, had no desire what
ever to be personal. l prefer to deal
with principles, not with men; and my
mention of the "Catholic priest" was
merely an incidental one that could
scarcely be avoided in connection with
the subject under consideration.
In the same way my mention of the
name of Hon. A Fernandez was not
from any desire to speak disrespectfully
of the venerable Judge" but because it
was he who, as school inspector, enacted
the first step in what cannot be regarded
as anything but a Roman Catholic move
ment, a second step of which, according
to reports, was seen in the attempt to
draw away pupils from schools they
were attending, on the ground that they
Cor some Of the teachers) were goddess.
There has been so little said or done
on this heads in these Islands, that nv
structures were scarcely applicable to this
locality, but the incidents referred to
were direct pointer to the systematic
and aggressive work in the same line
that has been going on in the United
States for many years.
My dispute, then, was not with Father
Olivier, between whom and myself there
has never been any opportunity nor oc-
casiOn for personal differences, but with
this particular line of proceeding which
first demands Punishment of the Bible
from the public schools, and then turns
about to cry out against the said schools
because they are goddess. And | still
maintain that such a proceeding is every
asinine, to say the least; certainly very
inconsistent, and savoring somewhat of
rascality." The first impression made
on the mind by such procedure is, that
it Is crooked and dishonest, and evinces
a want OF sincerity on the part of its
actors.
For years the Ainakea school has
been in the care of conscientious teach
ers who endeavored in all ways, to make
'fgood citizens and true Christians OF
the children who came under their in
struction. The nonsensical stuff about
wide folding doors and Yeph's songs, [
will pass over. 1t surely was a matter
of congratulation that commodious
rooms with decent outfit, and an en-
larged corps of teachers for the two
schools of Ainakea and Makapala, were
the outward encouraging manifestations

DARWIN ON MISSIONARIES.

In answer to some critics of foreign
missionaries, this illustrious naturalist
once replied as follows:
"They forget, or will not remember,
that human sacrifice and the power Of
an idolatrous priesthood; a system Of
profigacy unparalleled in any other part
of the world, infanticide, consequence
of that system; bloody wars, where the
conquerors spared neither women nor
children-that all those things have
temperance and Righteousness have
been greatly reduced by the introduce
ton of Christianity. In a vOyager to
forget these things is base ingratitude;
for should he chance to be at the point
of shipwreck on some unknown coast,
he will most devoutly pray that the
lesson of the missionary may have ex-
tended thus far"
1t is we'll known that Mr. Darwin, so
far from being a religious bigot, was
very free in his views about such mat
ters, and had swung away from the
accepted orthodox belief to such an ex-
tent as 20 be very generally regarded as
an infidel. But he was man of intelli
gence, of education, and above all, of
candor. His powers of observation
were highly trained, and any facts COM
ing under his notice were reported re-
CARELESS of their bearing upon precon-
ceived notions. He differed essentially
and radically from most of the persons
who write about missionaries in the
Daily Bulletin, in being a gentleman
and not BLACKBOARD.

the call of duty and attend to his patients.
1t can be easily understood how hard it
is for a country doctor to perform his
duties faithfully. That most OF them do
is very much to their credit.
We have made these few remarks be-
cause we have heard people who know
nothing of the conditions OF life on the
other islands criticising the doctors and
considering that their duties are by no
means onerous. We think We have put
the case pretty clearly to relieve this
class of critics. OF course there are
physicians who do not do their duty and
of these complaint should be made to the
Board of Health, but those who do their
duty are only human and cannot be in
two places at once, " barrin' they were
bird" as the Irishman is said to put it.
BY the way, why does not the Board
of Health provide for physician to go
through the district of Puma, say once a
month. The native population is mainly
concentrated around Kalaluna and
Kaimu, thirty-eight miles from Hilo, and
it is impossible to get any medical ad
vice without riding the not too easy road.
a physician going through the district
once a month could prescribe for such
ailments as slow fevers and so forth,
which occasionally break out and which
especially affect the children.

Changes of Name.

Mr.. EDITOR: The anti-missionary
iend has again changed his name; hav-
ing lately appeared in print under the
various guises of "Civis," "Jackaroo,"
and others, he now consumes the mid
night kerosene and smudges his manu-
script with inky perspiration forced from
his reluctant pores by his desperate eff
forts in composition under the respecta
BILE nom de plume, " Liberal"
This incessant change of his DISCUSSES
is an obvious necessity to a writer deal
ing in the style of literary criticism to
which Liberal, ''alias "Jackaroo," is adj
dicted. But cheer up, 0 fiend! faith
less generation may not appreciate your
earnest and self-denyiDg efforts, but the
proud consciousness of an unpleasant
duty, done under cover to be sure, but
heroically done all the same, will be
yours.
We would recommend as a help in
your arduOus labors the early acquisition
of late edition of good epithet dictiOn-
airy. GRATUITOUs ADVISER.

A Busy Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The first ses-
sion of the Fiftleth Congress will go
upon record as being of greater length
than any other continuous session of the
National Legislature since the organiza-
ton of the Government. Apart from
the great amount of time consumed in
both Houses in the discussion of tariff, a
prodigious amount of legislative work
has been performed. The number of
bills introduced in the House is IL 1913,
and in the Senate 3,639 Reports from
committees in the House, 1852; in the
Senate, 1894. OF Joint resolutions there
have been introduced in the House 23O,
and in the Senate lis. OF House execu-
tive documents there are 455, and mis-
Cellaneous documents sos. The Senate
executive documents number 281 and
miscellaneous documents POS, making a
total of executive and miscellaneous
documents in both Houses for the session
of $50.
Out of the vast number of public bills
introduced 307 have become laws, and of
the joint resolutions forty-one have re-
ceived the approval of the President.
Seven hundred and sixty-two private
bills and three private resolutions have
become laws, making an aggregate of
,113 acts as the result of the sessions
work. When the records are complete
it is expected that the total number will
be brought up to about 1,175, as there
are nearly sixty public and private bills
passed and awaiting the action of the
Executive.
The President has sent to the Senate
and House 129 vetoes during the session,
the great majority of which were mes
sages expressing his disapproval Of pen
sion bills.

Useless Inquiries.

Mr.. EpIToR: One of your correspond
ents who signs himself "Citizen," says;
81 desire to ask the correspondents Of
the Daily Bulletin to specify their
charges against the present Govern
ment and its supporters. If there is
sufficient occasion for the fierce and
serious charges made. every citizen
should be fully informed of the facts"
The gentleman is probably honest and
means well, but fear he fails to appre-
ciate the character of the people he re-
fers to. There is no harm in asking the
question, but hope he is not so simple
as to expect All answer. Ask the owl
why he boots, or the pig why he squeals,
or the spanked infant why it yells Ask
Zulu to translate the Had, or Digger
Indian to explain the COpernican system.
Ask anything impossible and absurd,
but don't ask Bulletin bowler to JUS
tify his statements, or explain his mean
ing, or condescend to facts, or regard
decency. They are not made that way.

Few people appreciate the difficulty of
supplying medical attendance to those
portions of these Islands where the pop
ulation are scattered, the roads are mere
bride paths and the distances to be
travelled are very great. Still fewer ap-
preciate the hard work that a really
conscientious doctor has to do apart from
the exercise of his skill in the practice
of his profession. Even on Kauai and
on Oahu, where the roads are good and
the distances not very great, there is a
great deal of country to be travelled over,
and such physicians as DIR. Campbell of
Waimea, DIR. Walters of Lihue, and DR..
Garter of Waialua have to be constantly
in the saddle and aggregate a couple of
thousand miles travel year in and year

Mr. EDITOR: The new Government
road on Bay View street near Church
street is a peculiar road, on which a
patent should be applied for at once, SO
that there can be no infringement on it !;
for it is truly an original road; sort of
multum in parvo road must be seen to
be appreciated. Some call it the slough
of despond, and are afraid it will breed
hilaria, as it is SO near the grand saloon.
But there is no cause for dependency.
1t is grand place for dog fight on
account of it's sticking qualities. The
Chinese ducks will miss their favorite
swimming place, for there they used to
sport with the widest delight, at all
hours of the night. The dogs seem now
to have taken the place of the ducks, and
one gentleman who lives on the street
thinks of organizing a military company
armed to the teeth, and making a raid
on the vile marauders who cause him
sleepless nights The Board of Health
does not seem to think the new material
unhealthy, or it would call out the light
guard with torches and destroy the OBJ
noxious material. Laying all joking
aside the health of any of the dear ones
will not be impaired in the slightest by
the new style of road. OF course just
now it would be bad place to wade on
a dress parade, even on stills. The
grass and dirt came off the streets and is
always used to fill up holes.

The Iron Duke to his Soldiers

'Do your duty" were the words OF
Lord Wellington to his soldiers just
before the battle Of Waterloo and his
tory tells us how well they oboyed.
The same advice might properly be
given to every living man at this time.
There are many men who would do
their whole duty in time of war OF
great need, but who sadly neglect it In
times of peace, they would gladly risk
their lives for their country, but when
there is no such great occasion, neglect
their plain simple duties to their God,
their families and themselves. 1t is
not for want Of honor nor because they
do not love their families, but from
pure neglect; as an instance, statistics
compiled by the national authorities
show that more deaths result from
bowel complaints than any other one
cause, except consumption,y yet not more
than one family in six are provided with
medicines that will relieve or cure the
diseases. 1t is the duty of every man
to look after these small matters2 and
protect their families, and they are Ger.
tainly at least, guilty of criminal care.
