The North Carolina Asylum Scandal.


A Raleigh special 10 the New York Sun says
There were sensational developments to-day in
the insane asylum investigation which has been
going on here for two weeks. Dr. Grissom,
the accused, has claimed all along that the
whole proceeding against him was the result of
conspiracy formed by DIR. Rogers. assistant
physician in the asylum, who is one of the
prosecutors in the case. This evening Girls
SONS counsel produced letter written by Dr.
Rogers to a female attendant asking her to
come and testify to Grissom's immortality, and
giving her minute instructions as to her testi-
mony on the witness stand. From the letter it
appears that Rogers and the woman have been
in correspondence and combining together to
accomplish Grissoms removal The letter has
created quite a sensation and bids fair to turn
the tide of the whole case. 1t is not known
how Grissom's friends. got possession of the
letter. Rogers admits its genuineness. Over
one hundred and fifty witnesses have already
been examined in the case, and il is believed il
will be brought to q close in a day or two.

Why Senator Browns Son Didn't Vote.

From the New York CraPnic.
In the Fifth Avenue hotel last night met q
son of Senator Joe Brown Of Georgia. The
younger Brown is lawyer in Atlanta with an

advocate, and that lie believes in protection
as the hope of the new south. Talking about
the Presidential election he said: Il did not

When we come to look at the small
number of people in proportion to
our area, the lack of industrial and
agricultural development outside the
production Of sugar and rice, the
badness of our roads in many of the
country districts, the high rate of our
steamer fares, the fact that there is
not single wharf outside of Homo
lulu where steamers can lie for the
shipment of freight or passengers,
the lack of close mail connections, to
which we have already alluded, as
well as other facts of a similar kind,
we begin to feel as If we had not so
much to crow about after all. If we
are wise, We will apply ourselves dill
igently to considering why we are
so far behind the Pacific coast of the
United States, what are the causes of
our deficiencies. and how far the
same may be removable. We pur-

Il Is only a little while since the

their agents came ont promptly and

and inferences. This denial stands

during his short stay among us by
1is attractive personal qualities. If
s wise to learn even from ones
enemies, suggestions from so kindly
ana appreciative a friend are doubly
worthy Of attention. It is well that
ne should see ourselves as others
see Us. and It cannot be denied that
our record in the matter referred to

called attention TO specific cases of
5ll-treatment of the lower animals,

gusge Arrests and prosecutions in
cur Police Court are not very rare,
though doubtless much less common
than they should be. From what
We can learn, we infer that in the
country districts the matter receives
sJill less attention than in Honolulu.
What Is wanted IS healthy public
sentiment, for the cultivation of
which nothing can be better than

CATCH WORDS AND CANT.

a spicy epithet. Or a plausible and
striking form of words; something
Ehiel has sound if not sense, and
appeals To the ear rather than the
intelligence. Is a favorite weapon of
1hose who have no great regard for
facts. or who find the plain and IN
adorned truth unfavorable to their
purposes. Sach expressions, if used
freely and repeated persistently,
with sufficient disregard for their fit
1ess OF applicability, come to be ac
cepted by many thoughtless people
= really meaning something and be
iDg entitled to some weight. 1t is
much easier 10 call names. especially
Il We are not particular about their
fitness, than 1t IS to inquire into
facts. or present a case in such way
a. TO appeal to the understanding.
Somebody has said that words are
things, and 1t is generally under
stood that to give a dog bad name
Is about as etfectual as to hang him.
The discussion of many important
questions has furnished abundant il
lustraions of the truth of these say
lngs
For instance. ~pauper is quite a
pei word with certain writers of the
baser sort. Pauper labor and
other favorite verbal combinations
have an unpleasant sound. and are
supposed to suggest something pc /
cnlis1ly degraded and disreputable. /
Therefore the demagogue slings
them around with characteristic
19oseness, and applies them where
they are about as appropriate as it
would be to call a spendthrift d
miser. ! writer of this stripe, who
mo5estly hides his identity under a
couple Of initials which might stand
for Empty Sconce, Excrutiatingly
Sweet Evidently Soft. or Exceed
ingly silly. complains that "a party"
has been flooding the country with
ignorant paupers and then giving
them free franchise to secure their
7En election" By the Ignorant
paupers.7 is meant. of course, the
Portuguese immigrants.
Now if there is any one thing
The Hawaiian gazette., 1889-03-05

which our Portuguese immigrant
most decidedly is not, it is pauper.
a pauper is one who cannot OF does
not earn his own living and who has
to be supported by charity. These
people, on the contrary, have been
accustomed to the hardest kind of
hard work all their lives, and come
here expecting to continue working
hard, and hoping only to gain by
the change higher rate of wages,
and perhaps better chance for their
children than was possible in the Sc
we're struggle for existence which
goes on in their overcrowded native
land.
The wisdom of that provision of
the Constitution which dispenses
with the educational qualifications
prescribed in another portion of the
same instrument. in favor of those
who registered and voted at the first
election held under its authority,
may be open to very serious question.
This is one thing; but to stigmatize
the Portuguese laborers as "pau-
pers," is an abuse of the English
as well as a gross injustice
to one Of the most industrious and
thrifty peoples to be found either
here or elsewhere.

1T the side of all Irish roads are
found every few miles walled com
partments, open to the highway,
