James G. Blaine and his followers of
the jingo stripe would, had they the

complications that would lead to war.
1t is the aim of this class of men to
gain as much glorification at the ex-

sible to be had. As Secretary of State
Blaine brought US to the verge of an
open declaration of war with England.

men. whose patriotism was greater
than self-seeking, averted the danger.

but the five per cent. of people of this
country, the nanufacturers-were get
ting practically the sole benefit of the

is the real life of the Republican party
and Chairman Foster speaks officially
for that party. It is no dress parade
or work of pleasure in which Mr.. Fos-
ter is engaged, but a work of life and
death for his party. With its very ex-
tstence in question he speaks facts
which all know, but no Repub-
lican prohibitory tariffite would openly
admit They. one and all, know that
the prohibitory tariff extends benefits
to no one but the greedy, grasping
trusts and :monopolies. Blaine is cog
infant OF these facts, but keen, shrewd
politician that he is, he takes sharp
turn at the crank and exhibits that
political craft for which he is SO noted
by saying that this is no fight for the
manufacturer. They can take care of
themselves"
The conflicting statements of these
two Republican leaders show that the
party managers will stick at nothing
in the endeavor to regain power. The
"Republican chief" with cool effront-
cry asserts that this is not a fight for
the manufacturers, while the commit
tee and managers, hungry for Office,
turn to the manufacturers whom they
claim have received "all the benefits
of the tariff laws" and demand money
to buy votes with in order to be re-
turned to power. Down with such

THE LATEST PUBLICATION ON
IEpR0SY,

Sir Risdon Bennett, Nj. d., IL. l..
D., f. r. S., well-known English
medical authority has recently given
to the public his views on leprosy.
Great confusion, he says, has been
caused by the application of the
word TO two radically different dis
eases. The original use of the word
Ieprd was to designate skin dis
ease. This is its meaning in the
Bible. The earliest instance of
its misapplication to elephantiasiS,
the leprosy of the Middle Ages, and
the Hawaiian disease thus commonly
known, is in a book of the eleventh
century by Constantinus Africanus,
one of the oldest medical writings
eXtant, found in four different
languages. While in the Latin
version the chapter is headed De
Eiel1hdntiusi, the disease is called
lepra in the description of it, but
for what reason no one can tell.
The mistake has been perpetuated
from that time 10 the present be-
cause of the similarity of certain
skin diseases with some of the symp-
toms of ElephantiasiS GrUco,um,
which is constitutional malady,
duplicating the whole organism, and
ending invariably, it is believed, in
death. 1t is irremediable by any
known human means. AS remedial
means of acknowledged Importance
removal from suspected injurious
climatic Influences, and from all in
sanitary conditions, and the adop-
ton of a generous and nutritious
diet. But in the Levitical treat
ment of lepers, physicians of the
present day recognize nothing but
varieties of cutaneous disease of
some kind. Arguments for the
segregation of modern lepers have
no foundation of truth in appealing
to these Mosaic regulations. The
laws of seclusion for ceremonial un-
cleanness were as rigidly applied to
to other cases in which no question
of contagion can exist. In some
forms of Levitical leprosy, the
persons affected were pronounced
clean, and mingled freely with
others. In fact the accounts given
in the New Testament of the miracu-
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-02-16

lous healing or cleansing Of lepers,
seem to convey the impression that
the removal of ceremonial unclean-
ness was of more Importance than
the cure of the disease. That the
unhappy subjects of the dis
ease we call lcprosy are rendered
unfit for ordinary social intercourse
has always been admitted. Not
from any Biblical authority is the
policy of segregation to be advocat-
ed but from Christian and benevolent
considerations, as well rs on medi-
cal grounds, that they may have the
benefit of that sympathy, care, and
alleviation of misery only to he Sc
cured in duly appointed and super
vised special institutions. There is
now pretty general unanimity of
opinion in favor of the transmission
of modern leprosy by heredity, and
this means congenital seeds of the
disease, something more than a
predisposition to its development
when the conditions are met. Hence
the very general adoption of the
principle of segregation, and the
prevention of intermarriages with
the healthy. Almost the only hope
presented to us for preventing its
spread, or for exterminating the evil
is by segregation.
Sir Risden Bennett was q member
of the Committee of the Royal Col
lege of Physicians, which was ap-
pointed in 1862 to conduct investi-
cations in regard to the contagious
ness of leprosy. He is now serving
on another committee on the advis-
ability of establishing leper asylums,
and enforcing segregation, so that it
shall be penal offence for certl-
fled leper to maintain ordinary social
intercourse. The overwhelming evil
dence brought out by careful scien-
tific investigation is against the
spread of the disease by contagion
in the ordinary sense of that word.
We may add TO what DR.. Bennett
says, it is evident that leprosy, if
not contagious, like smallpox does
spred, somewhat perhaps as fashions
do. No one can tell where they
come from, or why such outlandish
deformations of the human form
divine are adopted. 1t is like
drunkenness, too, in that the infec-
ton spreads; but not in accordance
with any known laws. One man
may drink alcoholic liquor, and no
one can say that he is the worse for
liquor. Another takes to the drink,
and is ruined body and soul. One
man may drink, and his children
hate the very smell of it. Another
may drink and his children are
tainted and dissipated. AS total
abstinence is the only known anti
dote for alcoholism, so is segregation
for leprosy.

RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.

The Attorney-Generars brief pub
lished in this mornings Gazette"
in the veto test case, contains the
following 1.-THE intent of Arti-
Gle rs (of the Constitution) is GER
tainly not merely to furnish mode
of authenticating the Kings acts,
but to make their validity and con-
stitutionality depend upon the advice
and responsibility of some person or
body responsible, as the King in
some senses is not, to the law of the
land. This is what constitutional
and responsible government means.
1t can be secured in no other legal
way" We have not been accus-
toned to this Interpretation of the
term Irresponsible government" al
though we are aware it is the one
recently adopted by some local
writer's. The term, as we have been
used to it, relates rather to the exc
cutive than the legislative function
of government, and implies respon-
sibility for executing the will of the
legislature as expressed in its Acts.

TRUTH IN NEWSPAPERS,

Some people believe, or profess to
believe, that in newspaper is about
the last place to find truth. Misre-
presentation and inaccuracy abound,
say they, but truth is wanting. Now,
the fact is, this assertion contains
more untruth than can ordinarily be
found in any respectable newspaper.
To be sure, no one pretends that a
newspaper is infallible, is always
accurate, is never in error. Truth,
the whole truth, and truth only, is
hard to get, even in a court of law
and truth, untinged by prejudice or
unperverted by inaccuracy, even in
the trivial little local occurrences
which are recorded in our daily
papers, is not so easily ascertained.
Ihenews papernews-gatherer cannot
be everywhere at the same time, and
see and hear every event which oc-
ours: he has to rely largely upon
information procured from others
This is often incomplete, or one
sided, or positively crooked. Some
times wrong information is know
ingly given and at others uninten-
tionally. The newspaper man does
his best, with the time and means at
his command, to sift out the facts
from falsehoods, and on the whole
is pretty successful. The ordinary
newspaper reader little knows how
much labor is bestowed upon this
one thing. Considering the piles of
contradictory and conflicting re-
ports and statements to be waded
through, the wonder is that so little
untruth reaches the stage of publ.
cation.

BASIS OF TAXATION.

Among the many subjects of re-
vised legislation at the present time
in. favor of better adjustment of
methods of government administra-
tion, not the least important is the
question of taxation. The Hawaiian
Government has made a long step
in advance in adopting the princi-
pie of exempting mortgages and
other evidences of debt, ON the
equitable principle that people
should be taxed for what they own
and not for what they owe, The
tendency at the present day is to
simplify the tax laws, and put the
burden as far as possible where it
shall be shared by all alike in pro-
portion to their property interests.
To this end astute Legislators and
public economists are coming more
and more to the conclusion that en-
tire exemption of personal property
from taxation, and the imposition of
taxes on zeal estate alone is in the
line of sound public policy, advan-
tageous to the whole community.
The difficulty of collecting honestly
these taxes ON personal property is
valid reason for the change that is
now so generally advocated. Our
tax assessors, if they could get hold
