DEFENSE OF KARUNAS.

EmroR BuLLETIN; - ALLOW me
space in sour valuable columns TO
say something in regard to cnljght-
eucd medical profession versus the
Hawaiian medicine man. Much has
been said of late in derogatory
terms of kahunas as being "un-
questionably one Of the curses of
the Hawaiian race" Curse it may
be to us Hawaiians, but it is un-
questionably true, that the kahunas
do make 4 cure after the enlighten-
ed medical man has given up q
case, and there are many instances
to prove this assertion. Suffice it to
say that the kahuna treatment, in
certain instances, is false, the same
as foreign quack doctors, but it is
true in very many Instances, and
they use very simple remedies, taken
directly from Natures vast drug
shop. If kahunas are curse to
the Hawaiian race, | may here add
that doctors are also. Why not put
doctors under the same legal restric-
tions as the kahunas? When doc
tor fails to effect any Improvement
in patient and the patient dies,
nothing more is said about it, for
science has done all it could in the
matter, but when it is known that
the failure was on the part of ka-
huna, what a howl goes up to i'm
plore heaven TO pour down dcstruc-
tion on the head of the sorcerer,
otherwise, the kahuna. Your cor
respondent, as a Hawaiian, under
stands the Hawaiian's opinion on
this point, and emphatically states
that doctors are as much in the
fault, and more, than are the Ha-
waiians.
The general Hawaiian impression
is that it is foregone conclusion
amongst medical men TO annihilate
our race, and that the doctors have
been the main cause of the deStruc-
ton of the race, but | do not inn
pute such grave charges to the pro.
fession. Before civilization and be-
fore Christianity first set foot on
these shores, kahunas thrived and
tlourished, and the race also flourish.
ed, but since, the race has dwindled
down, and the medical profession
has not been able to stem the down.

NO TROUBLE AT PANAMA.

The u. S. Department of State
has received dispatches from Con-
suls Of the United States at Panama
and Colon Feb. %, in regard to the
situation of affairs OF tle isthmus.
The Consuls report no disorders had
taken place up to February 18th,
and that no trouble was anticipated
because of the final collapse Of De
Lesseps' company. The event of
the collapse had been discounted by
the fact that gradual suspension
of work has been going on for the
last two months and the overflow had
drifted out easily and in several di-
rections. The West India negroes
were returning to their homes at the
rate of about 500 a week, and the
French steamers three times n month
were taking 200 or 800 Frenchmen
each. The Chilean Consul at Pa
mama was also shipping about 800
white laborers per month to Chile,
nominally to work on railways. The
Consuls thought that if the collapse
had taken place all at once, as was
at first expected, there would have
been serious danger of disturbance.

lieves that "no reasonable man will
claim that the present Ministry arc
perfect" That is my opinion, too.
1t does not think "that in all things
they have done what was best We
agree again. The Record fur
ther believes that it was not 1.-THE
best to retain in Office some Of the
old officials, "notoriously in the ln-
terror and Finance Departments,
but that 'justice" TO persons lin
the ranks of Reform" required that
the latter should be placed in the
offices of the former. Here the
Record" and Antishamus cross
swords. The Record smells of
the doctrine, "to the victors belong
the spoils," which thing Antishamus
hates. Reformers, before the revo.
luton, were supposed to want purity
of Government, and not the emolu-
ments of office; but subsequent
events have tended TO dissipate this
belief, and the "Record" utterance
helps in that direction. My opinion
is, that most of the men retained in
office by the present Cabinet, were
wisely retained, they being capable
and faithful men. Of some of theil
appointees l haven't so good ar
opinion.

BY what authority does the. Gov
ernment exchange public property
for private property? | under
stand that this has been done under
circumstances which indicate that
the Government has exceeded its
legal prerogative. The public pro-
perty was worth more than the pri-
vate property, and persons were
ready and anxious to give more for
the former than was asked for the
latter; and if the public property
had been submitted to public COM
petition, as the law requires, it
would have realised a materially
larger sum than the private property
would have fetched similarly sub
mitted. If the case is rightly un-
derstood by me, L suspect that the
Government has 'erred and stray
ed" from the law and the public in
terests.

The "Hllo Record" says, "If it
had not been for the decision of the
Supreme Court on the veto question,
which in our humble mind we be-
lieve to be erroneous, we to-day
would have had government en-
tirely under the control of the peo-
pie" Now, in my humble mind |
believe the "Record's' opinion to
be erroneous. II the Courts deci-
sion is erroneous, it is because the
Constitution is erroneous. The de-
cision simply harmonises with the
plain language of that document.
The Supreme Court has no authority
to decide that white, is the regula-
tion color when written law says
that black is. AS TO the Govern
ment being entirely under the con-
troll of the people," it is just as
near that point as any government
in the world, and great deal nearer
than most. The United States,
numbering sixty millions of people,
boast that their government is "lhe
peoples government, and their
government is good enough for me
hnt their 0OVarnment is M mora
"under the control of the people"
than the Government OF the Ha-
waiian Islands. The President of
the United States has a veto power,
and so has the King of the Hawaiian
Kingdom. The Presidents veto can
be overridden; so can the Kings;
and both in precisely similar way.
Almost every veto the King sent to
the last Legislature was disannulled
one only excepted, think show
ing how little the Kings veto
amounts to when the Legislature is
against it, 1t is utter nonsense to
complain that "the people" are lack
ing in power to control the Govern
ment under the present constitution.
Going back again to the Supreme
Court, it strikes me that when the
'Record" undertakes to teach the

Sense and reason concede that in
public affairs measures are of greater
moment than men. Politicians are
apt to lose sight of measures in
their preference for particular men,
actuated thereto by feelings of
friendship or motives of self-inter-
est; but measures are what concern
the general public. Yet the fact re-
mains, that measures depend upon
men-for their conception and ex-
ecution. Without men there can be
no measures, and men untitled by
nature or education cannot formulate
or execute measures.

The privilege to growl is said to be
an Englishman's safety-valve and
therefore his most precious inherit
ance: its use is the salvation Of his
mental boiler. The people of this
country have as much freedom to
growl as the people of England or
the people of any other country,
and they are just as ready to
avail themselves of the privilege.
Perhaps it is we'll they are. Dis
satisfied thoughts and feelings are
better let out than kept pent
up inside, A hearty growl occa-
occasionally is great relief to the
system, and helps TO make life bear
able. Growing in print appears to
be the most effective method of
clearing the liver. When man sees
his growl in a newspaper he feels
depth of satisfaction which q mere
verbal utterance fails to bring. By
stopping the action of this safety
valvn the boiler is endangered, and
| sooner or later an explosion will re-
suit, with damaging consequences.
Some people are censtitutionally op-
| posed to every species of growing,
and above all abhor newspaper
| growing. They don't know how
much good it does to the growlers.
| Others profess to be callous to all
growls, saying that they are nothing
but wind. Yes, but wind is power
ful agent, and effects stupendous
| consequences sometimes. Those who
are the objects of growls are not al
ways wise in receiving them with
deaf ears or proud Indifference.
Better investigate them, and see if
in the heaps of chaff there are not
some grains of sense and reason.
Forget not the history of this coun-
try, which shows that indifference
to popular growls led to the down
fall of the power which governed
this country less than two years ago.
