The Issues of the Next Campaign.
The Richmond Who says

After careful reading of Senator Browns
speech. delivered in the Senate last Monday,
in favor of the repeal of the internal revenue
laws, it seems surprising that any one VINO
calls himself Democrat should differ with
him in regard to the propriety of that meas
ure.
1t is generally believed that President
Cleveland calls himself . Democrat, and
yet he said officially that there was no
reason why the internal revenue laws
should be repealed.
The NATIONAL REPUBLIcAS. which is not
a Democrat, agrees entirely with Senator
Brown when he says:

How long large part OF this republic
will be satisfied to feed upon Democratic
theories of political economy against &C.
knowledged facts of history and current
events is problem impossible of solution.
They will remain faithful to Bourbonism
doubtless as long as ignorance is bliss to
those who know no other path OF happiness
1t is curious fact that In official life even
the Democratic theorists are Obliged by
circumstances over which they have 30
control to overturn their own fine spun
dogmas. An official called upon for a re-
port OF affairs just as they exist has no
choice of opinions he must deal with cold
and solid facts. This is how 1t happens
that the consular agents of the government
are uniformly reporting conditions of trade
and society In their locations abroad which
confirm the admirable benefits of the
American revenue system. They fnd that
the countries with revenue systems nearest
approaching the theory of free trade are
poorest and the most miserable in their
social conditions. Many of them are un-
willing witnesses in this direction, and their
statements are all the more eloquent In
behalf of the protective principle.
The most emphatic example of Demo
cratic facts flying In the face of D .mocratic
theories is furnished by the late report Of
the commissioner of navigation. For many
years the Democratic cry has been that pro-
lection was the blight Of commerce and the
shipping interests. How this occurs they
never have been able to discover, even to
their owe satisfaction. They have been coz

system.

revenue collection be swept aside; away

Minister Ashford said the main objections
to the bill seem to be its liability to abuse
He would suggest special clause relating
TO the duty to manufacturers. Or the sys-
tenn of rebates, extensively used III the
United States, could be tried. He moved
a reference to a select committee OF which
Rep. Kinney should be chairman and
which would also contain two members OF
the Committee on Commerce.
The matter was referred to select COM
1nittee, consisting of Reps. Kinney and
Horner, the Attorney-General, Mobiles

Noble Robinson for the Committee on
Commerce, reported on the inter-island

placed under the paternal wing OF the

Now that Dr. Carpenters authority
has come out so unequivocally in favor
of the theory which Mr.. Scott and many
others in Honolulu have held in regard to
Mr.. w. l. Bishops performances, that
they are, to quote DR.. Carpenters own
language, the result of MIR. Bishops
clever Interpretation of signs unconsci-
ously given him by the subject, we inn
agine that the scientific curiosity OF most
persons in Honolulu is entirely satisfied.
DR.. Carpenter was, and his books still
remain, very high authority in all ques-
tions of physiological psychology, and
since he, after witnessing Mr.. Bishops
experiments, seems to have been convinc-
ed that they furnished no proof of any
actual thought transferrence, it is improb-
able that many persons in Honolulu.win
remain of different opinion.

The Leper Warning.


Mr.. EDITOR: [ notice in your paper
OF this morning that some enterprising
Washington correspondent, with the
usual disregard for the facts, having
access to the Consular correspondence
in the Department, Telegram hs to the
press what purpOrts to be the substance
of a voluminous report l sent my Gov
eminent on the subject of leprosy on
the 18th day of April last. He makes
my dispatch say that "a large number
of persons afflicted with leprosy, or
having leprOus tendencies, emigrate to
the United States yearly" What did
say, l copy from the dispatch book of
this Consulate, as follows:
while upon this subject, submit
that a larger number of emigrants with
leprous tendencies go to the States than
is supposed. 1t is impossible to give
statistics, but cases are known. For
eigners who are suspicious that they are
afflicted, if they can secure the means,
universally leave the Islands before full
development, to escape segregation on
the terrible Island of Death"
The principal purpose of my dispatch
was to place in the hands of my Govern
ment an interesting and exhaustive his
tory of the inOculated prisoner whose
life was given to the doctors for expert
ment, given to me at my request by
DR.. Mouritz, formerly at the leper settle
ment at Molokai The history followed
the case from the incubation down to
the date OF writing, giving his status at
different periods, and a thorough an
alysis of his condition at that time,
showing, in his opinion, that he un-
doubtedly had all the evidences OF
leprosy. Respectfully,
J. H. PUTNAM.

tention of the ADVERTISER to enter upon
or discuss the differences between mem
beers of the Department. But those diff
ferences call attention to the defects of
the system itself. Those are legitimate
subjects for newspaper discussion. Sup
pose, for instance, a set of dishOnorable
men were to get into power in the De-
partment; suppose they should resort to
all kinds of fraud to keep themselves
in power; suppose they favored their
friends and punished their enemies in
the many ways in which they could do
this; and suppose under their rule cor
ruption ran riot, what could those not in
power do to redress the wrongs and cor
rect the evils? Legally they would have
but one relief from their unpleasant
situation. They could withdraw from
the Department. Being unpaid volun-
teers they would be very likely to seek
this relief before very long if they saw
no hopes of other means of escaping
from their positions. Then the whole
Department would be given over to the
rogues. The committee have all of
these things to consider. We have no
inclination to investigate personal griev
ances, and we think the committee will
have no time for such matters if they
give due attention to the system itself.

Water Rates.

In accordance with Section l, of Chapter
XVI, of the Laws of 1886:
All persons holding water privileges, or
those paying water rates, are hereby no.
tilted that the water rates for the term,
ending December 81, 1888, will be due and
payable at the office of the Honolulu Water
Works on the 1st of July, 1888.
All such rates remaining unpaid for fiji
teen days, after they are due will be sub
iect to an additional 10 per cent.
Parties paying rates Will please present
their last receipt.
Rates are payable at the office of the
Water Works, in the Kapuaiwa Building.
The statute allowing no discretion, strict
enforcement of this clause will be made.

THE Washington dispatch referred to
by Mr.. Putnam, u. S. onsul-General,
was clipped from the San Francisco
Call, to which it was special and copy
righted. AS we had been informed of
its existence as far back as the day the
last foreign mail arrived, and the Call
being one of the papers most generally
sold here, it was never dreamed that the
publication in these columns would
prove a surprise to the ConsIl-General.
Mr. Putnam's actual communication to
his Government is quite different from
the version given by the correspondent,
and it is to be hoped that the latter will
not be very widely copied in the United
States, as the erroneous information
might do this country much harm.
Under the impression that the CORE
spondent wrote by the text, we believed
that the Consul-General must have had
facts to support the statement attrib
uted to him; but everybody here is we'll
aware that what he now shows he did
communicate to his Government is in
disputably correct.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE laws relating to the Fire Depart
ment may have been good and sufficient
at the time they were enacted, but we
have now different state of things to
deal with. 1t is said that Chief En-
gineer has been elected, has served his
full term out, and yet has never been
called upon to oficiate at any fire. But
little law was necessary to regulate the
Department those days. But such
times have passed away. The Chief
Engineer in his report to the Minister of
the Interior enumerates seventy-five fires
as having taken place in the biennial
period just closed; $37, 428.58 of the
appropriation made by the Legislature
of 1886 was expended. The ADVERTISER
has already expressed the opinion that
those who expend so much of the peo-
pies money should be in some way re-
sponsible. Mr. Wilson in his report to
the Minister himself suggests legislation
looking to some degree of responsibility.
But there is another phase to this Fire
Department question which is worthy OF
careful consideration. 1t is not the in
