THE CABIN EFT.

The general suspense was relieved
yesterday morning when it was con-
fidently rumored that Messrs. John
Cummins, Godfrey Brown, Chas. N.
Spencer and A. p. Peterson com
posed the new Cabinet. When
rumor was confirmed by the an
nouncement, on the opening of the
Legislature, from the King that
these gentlemen were indeed com
missioned the feeling of relief was
intensified. NJ. Cummins soon
stated from his sect as Minister of
Foreign Affairs that His Majesty
had sent for him on Monday and re-
quested him to form a Ministry
which he had done This indicates
that Mr.. Cummins is the Premier
and the responsible head of the Cab
met. The selection of Mr.. Cummins
to form a Ministry is recognition
of the principle of responsible repre-
sentative government, as he is a
recognized leader among the Ma
tional Reformers, although probably
not the leader among themselves
The Ministry is SO much better than
it was feared it might have been that
the general feeling is one of relief
and congratulation.
It is Mr.. Cummins' first expert
ence. He takes with him the un.
doubted confidence of the King and
a large number of people. 1t is
however painful to be compelled tc
note the difference in moral sense
here and in some other countries; as
for instance in England, where the
immoralities shown against Sil
Charles Dixie not only drove him
from politics but temporarily a,
least from the country, while here
the same we'll known state of affairs
does not seem to prevent political
preferment. Mr.. Cummins' large
interests will probably lead him into
a conservative line of state policy il
which he will be guided and as
sisted by the more conservative por
ton of his party.
Mr.. Brown as Minister of Finance
is the right man in the right place
SO far as financial experience anc

Was DIR. Hyde's Letter ''slanderous?'
MR~EDIToR:-In making brief
rejoinder to the Bishop of Olba in
behalf of the absent DR.. Hyde, it is
to be promised that I hold no par
ticular right to speak for him; nor
do l know what line of reply he
would himself see fit to adopt. 1t
is certainly to be regretted that the
Bishop should not have been ready
to make his attack until the object
of it had gone away. l should at
least have been spared the dis
agreeable duty of drawing upon
myself some of the virulent abuse
which has been poured upon DIR.
Hyde in this business.
l am far from imputing this abuse
to any instigation of the excellent
Bishop or his clergy. In the pre-
sent case, l regard with respect his
honest zeal in vindicatlng the repu-
tation of his late subordinate. 1t
is with no intent to disparage the
Bishop that try to point out some
mistakes which l think he has
made. He has satisfied himself of
Father Damien purity-and seems
to think others should also be con-
vinced-by his own "secret and
serious" investigation of the mat
ter. Such an investigation may
doubtless be a useful preliminary
to \ more public inquiry, in the
conduct of which all parties would
be represented. l assume that DR.
Hyde was not consulted nor asked
by the Bishop for the grounds OF
his allegations against Damien
character. Yet the Bishop has as
sumed 10 condemn unheard those
allegations AS ''slanderous!" l sub.
NIT that he is uttering his decision
somewhat prematurely.
For myself, have never had
opportunity to form any decided
opinion as to the charge of i'm
purity. During the past year, from
many diverse sources, hearsay
evidence, apparently somewhat
reliable has been received, such In
kind and quality, as-speakine
moderately-to lend much color to
the charge. Notwithstanding some
intimacy with DIR. Hyde, his aver
sion to discussing such topics has
left me rather ignorant of the ma
ture of the evidence in his hands.
believe that he possesses guam
tity of such evidence. He has hao
exceptional opportunities of knowl'
edge about Father Damien, through
his long and constant correspon
dence with persons at the lepel
settlement. l only know that ht
is firmly convinced of the truth O
his allegation of impurity. Still
cannot assert that he is sound il
his conclusions. That question ba'
not been tried before any compe
! tent court of inquiry. For any

man to assert that tho charge is
untrue, is certainly premature.
One fact stands out beyond ques-
ton that on this point Damien had |
for long time borne very sui
lied reputation, whether justly or
not. a very painful bad repute of
this sort actually existed, as even
the Bishop implicitly admits, as RI
Stevenson's letter intimates, and as
l hold some documentary evidence
to prove. Some explanation may
possibly be found to prove Damien
innocent of all the various offences,
alleged in the different reports of
his misconduct in this respect, and
inquiry may even prove some OF
those reports to have grown out OF
no tangible basis. Yet the extern
sive growth of such bad repute,
and the widespread belief in it
must be seen to very materially
affect the culpability of people who
repeat such charges. claim in
behalf of DR.. Hyde, that in view OF
his own fixed belief, and of the
support lent thereto by the afore-
said bad repute of Damien, it is not
fitting or sensible to charge him
with malice or with lack of charity
in imputing to Damien the char
acter he did, even if he shall prove
to have been in error. A very un
| fortunate error it will have been.
and one that he will, if convinced
of it, be sure to make all possible
amends for. But 1 submit that
slanderous is not at all the term
to apply to it.
An extraordinary Juror arose
last year in England to ex,
alt this man into martyr
or saint, forgetful of the
fact that many cases of devotion of
the life to the welfare of lepers
have existed, and that on the part
of persons not, like Damien, utterly
devoid of fastidiousness. This
craze spread to America. Miss
Stuart Phelps, noted Protestant
authoress, termed him the Ha'
waiian Christ "-''no sacrifice like
his since Golgotha Wewere told
that he Christianlzed MOlokai, till
then pagan island, and that he re
} deemed the shamefully neglected
Iepers from a pit of misery.
!. Last August, just after this
whirlwind of absurdities had reach
ed us, clerical friend wrote il
familiar way number of queries
about Damien TO DR.. Hyde, base(
on previous information gained
! here. Not dreaming of publication
DR.. Hyde replied IN few brief ant
hasty words, such as he fully be
lieved to be true, and after severa
months of inquiry, still believes t.
be the truth. Perhaps he was mis-
taken, but l think slanderous y il
hard language to use about it.
1t is well-known that DR.. Hyd'
was EXTREMITY annoyed at the pub
LEGATION OF this private note, which
as he easily foresaw, has brought /:
long-continued storm of abuse upO1
his head. Men generally rage an'

ability are concerned. Whether he |
has the genius and ability to orig
mate and carry out vigorous and
economical policy remains to be
seen. He has had short term of
ministerial experience with the re-
cent Cabinet, and while be has diff
fered in some respects with the Re-
form Party Of late, he is no doubt
committed definitely in favor of the
reforms instituted in 1887 aud will
see that they are sustained.
MIR. Peterson has shown by his
conduct OF state prosecutions for a
number of years past, that he is a
safe, conservative and able lawyer.
He has also had sufficient experience
in the Office of the Attorney General
to know what is required in general
advice on matters of law. While a
young man, he has a clear head, is
honest and industrious, and will no
doubt make a creditable record. But
what is of more Importance, he will
sustain constitutional government in
Hawaii.
The selection for Minister of In
terror does not command such gen.
eral confidence; but perhaps it is
owing to the fact that Mr.. Spencer
has had no experience whatever in
such a responsible position. He has
filled the place of Inspector Of Immi
grafton to his credit, although the
absence of any report to the Ministe,
OF Interior has excited comment
He will find ready to his hand suf1i
cient work cut out to last for the
next two years, and it will employ
both his hand and brain to their ut
most to properly supervise and carry
out these plans for public improve
ments.
Both Mr.. Cummins and MIR. Brown
have had more or less of Legislative
experience, the latter making a yer,
creditable record for himself in 1888.
