Postal Matters.

Mr.. EDITOR Let US hope that
the quarrel between Marques and
the Postmaster-General will not
blind the members of the Legisla-
ture to the fact that the country
Postmasters are not half paid.
The Postal Bureau actually made
nearly $4,000 clear of expenses
during the period. A few of the
country offices, such as Waikiki,
Hilo and a few others, are well
paid, but the rest are scarcely paid
more than a quarter of what the
actual labor is worth. This 1000
which is being earned ought to be
distributed among the country
offices, so that they will be paid
more nearly what they earn.
No Government should make a
profit on its Postal Service. If the
Postmasters are sufficiently paid,
and the receipts still exceed the
expenditures, the price of postage
should be reduced.
We have not reached that stage
yet. The postmasters, with a few
exceptions, are not sufficiently paid.
do not wish by these remarks
to find fault with the present Post
master-General. He is an efficient
officer, and the Postmasters of the
group would vote almost unani-
mously that he should be retained.
He has probably paid the Post
masters all he could with his
limited appropriation.
Let the appropriation be en-
larged and the country Postmas-
tiers paid what they earn.

A Hawaiian Guide.

"The Tourists Guide Through
the Hawaiian Islands," compiled
and edited by Henry NJ. Whitney,
is the best manual that has yet
been issued to aid the tourist in his
search for the picturesque on these
islands of the Pacific. 1t is admir-
ably arranged; it gives all the in-
formation which the ordinary
traveller needs, and it is wholly free
from the exaggeration that renders
SO many books of this class well
nigh worthless. When the editor
wishes to give an idea of the famous
scenery he quotes the words of
travellers who have a worldwide
reputation. Thus he selects Miss
Isabella Birds wonderful picture
of the Volcano, and any one who
reads this description will long to
view this unparalleled spectacle.
All the principal points of interest
on the islands are fully described
and many of them are presented
in excellent process illustrations
from photographs. There are also
several good maps. (Honolulu:

have paid any serious attention to
the clamor of Reps. Bush and VIII
cox. In any other country they
would have created lively sensa-
ton. The stolidIty with which our
community ignores all these fiery
speeches is very amusing. Doubt
less the climate has something to
do with it. We instinctively expect
that the fervor of our skies will
reject itself in Wilcox's words. their
softness and languor in his action.
When Wilcox threatened to fill the
Legislative hall with corpses, the
House continued to nod drowsily
as before. No ore who was asleep
thought it worth while to wake up.
No one with his feet on his desk
took the trouble to take them down.
We all taeitly assume that Wilcox's
man-hunting will be of the same
numanely inoffensive type as the
lion-hunting of the immortal Tar
tsrin of Tarascon.
We do not at all deny that Bush
and Wilcox would really put their
threats of violence into execution
if they could, but circumstances ere
too strong for them. They are con-
demned Intellectually to gnash the
teeth without biting anything, and
to content themselves with the role
of the ordinary noisy demagogue.

SISTER ROSE GERTRUDE ANGRY
She Demands the Dismissal of Native
Hospital Oyerseer.

She Demands the Dismissal of Native
Hospital overseer.
HONOLULU, Aug. %, via SAN
Francisco, Sept. Z, 1890 Sister
Rose Gertrude is the focus of a
storm in Hawaii On her arrival
from England, instead of being sent
to the Molokai Leper Settlements
was intended, she was placed in q
receiving hospital at Kallhi, two
miles from Honolulu. This is
where all persons suspected of
leprosy are examined, as are also
some of the lepers selected by DR..
Lutz, a specialist lately arrived
from Germany. Recently the COM
munity was surprised by an an
nOuncement in a morning paper
that Sister Rose had stated to a re-
porter that unless certain matters
were remedied by the Board of
Health she would resign the same
day. Representative W. Kalua,
native member, moved in the Legis-
lature for a select committee to in
vestigate the complaints made by
Sister Rose against the manage
ment of the hospital
He related that he took this ac-
ton at the request of the Sister.
The committee was appointed, and
took the testimony of many wit
nesses at the institution. 1t has
been announced to the House by
the chairman of the committee that
owing to the Importance of the
subject the report of the committee
would be printed before its presen-
tation.
The Sisters chief complaint is
that Charles Kahalakili, resident
oyerseer of the hospital, himself |
detained as a leper, has interfered |
with the affairs of herself and the |
doctor. She charges him with ad- |
vising patients not to take the pre-
scribed medicines, and counselIing
them rather to trust in God, and of |
some of the arts of the
kahuna or medicine man.
1t is complained that Charlie
made patients work when the Sis
.er, as nurse, under the order of
DIR. Lutz, as physician, prescribed
rest; also that, although a leper,
ne takes the freedom of the town.
Most grievously is Sister Rose
ncensed, however, over the often
i've remarks that the overseer is
'eported to have made freely
Imong the inmates about the Sis
er's gong out for airings with the
Doctor. His gossip having got

hat it might be necessary for the
Board of Health to demand the
listers resignation.
The cause of all this talk is that
be Sister and Doctor have sought
ecreation from their unpleasant
uties in Jaunts into the surround
lg country, amusing themselves
y amateur photography on the
7ay. Sister Rose demanded of the
'oard of Health the summary dis
lissaI of the overseer. The Board

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you oblige me
by publishing the following note, q
copy of one 1 sent to Hon. J. E.
Bush, on the 23d inst. Having re-
celved no reply of any kind from

that he does not wish to know the

SIR: l heard you say IN the
Legislature to-day that when the

formed, the proposition was made
to allow the King to appoint half

the other half, and that 1 objected
to letting the King appoint any

1 shall be very much obliged to
you if you will make me a call, and l

Did You Know 1t?

Webster's eloquent description Of
the British Empire is very reliable,
says the Great Divide, but we doubt
whether it is generally realized that
we, too, have q dominion on which
the sun never sets. 1t will hardly be
believed, perhaps, without an exam
ination Of the maps, that San Fran
cisco, instead Of being the west line
Of this dominion, is. only about mid
way between our eastern and western
limits; and yet it is fact that the
furthest Aleutian isle acquired in our
purchase of Russian America is as
far to the west of that city as East
port, Me-, is to the east Of it. Be
tween the northwest limit of Alaska
there is q break Of q few degrees, but
with the slightest eduction our ter
ritory extends through 1876 degrees
OF longitude, or II degrees more than
half way around the globe.
Hence, when the sun is giving its
goodnight kiss to our westward isle,
on the confines of the Behring Sea, ii
is already flooding the fields and
forests OF Maine with it's morning
light, and in the eastern part of the
State is more than an hour high. At
the very moment when the Alentian
fisherman, warned by the approach
ing shades OF night, is pulling his
canoe toward the shore, the wood

when we first had the telephone.
1t was much more of q curiosity then

have an excuse to howl in the thing.
One day it went off and I was on
hand promptly. I discovered that
the talker at the other end of the line
was one of the most prominent So
ciety ladies of the South Side. also
discovered that she thought our Of
flee was a butchers shop. She wanted
to know If Mr.. -, the butcher, was
in, and said that she had the honor
of talking to him then.
"What do you mean,' she asked,
by sending me snch roast of beef
as that of yesterday"
Il asked her what was the matter
with it and she replied that it WASH t
fit for a dog to eat. Ispunked up at
this and told her that l had had
more trouble about her trade than
all the balance Of my customers CON-
bined. told her that she not only
did not know q good piece OF
roast beef when she saw it,,
but that she did not know how
to prepare it, and that she didn't
know how to eat it after it was pre-
pared. Of course, she rung me. of,
and Iwent over to my desk and rolled
over and laughed. In a few days
had occasion to go,into the butcher
shopmilady had been talking about,
and while waiting for my order said
to the butcher: Does Mr-trade
here now? mentioning the name of
the husband of the lady who had
talked to me over the wires.
