WHAT THE REFORM PARTY HAS DONE

The public is proverbially forget
full. The Reform party has been so
steadily and quietly pursuing its
course, and has brought about
changes for the benefit of the people
in such an unestentatious manner
that the present situation is looked
upon almost as a matter of course.
No Party has a right to ask for
the peoples votes, or to exist unless
it can show that it has done and is
doing what is for the peoples bene-
fit, or that there are existing evils
and wrongs which it will reform and
remedy.
We propose to set forth categoric-
ally what the Reform party has done
for the people, as the justification OF
its existence and the reasons why
those who value honest administra-
tion should support it.
L. 1t has created and carried into effect
the Homestead Law.
The Reform party, though in the
opposition, and the minority, carried
the Homestead Law" for settling
families on Government lands,
through the Legislature in 1884.
In July, 1887, when the Reform
party came into power, three years
after the passage of the law, not one
family had been settled or one home
stead lot surveyed.
The Reform party has now been
in power for two years and half.
There have been surveyed and
opened to settlement 279 lots.
There have been surveyed and are
now about to be offered for settle
ment about 100 more, and all of the
available members of the Survey
Department are being devoted to
this work.
Surveys of additional lots are now
in progress in Hilo, Kona, Kohala,
and Puma, Hawaii. and at Kula,
Maui.
OF the lots offered for settlement
II have been taken up in Honolulu,
SO in Hamakua, SO in Kona, and 26
in Hilo, making total of $50.
OF the homesteaders there are 81
Hawaiians, IA Portuguese, 6 Ameri-
cans, 5 Germans. 4 Norwegians, 4
Japanese, and 3 British.
The e-actionary party had the
opportunity for three years to do
this same work and did nothing
They now state what they propose
to do and beg for an opportunity
again not to do it. The Reform
party makes no parade Of what it
proposes to do, but points with pride
to its record, and with confidence
asks the people to support the party
which not only promises but per-
forms; the party of acts as well as
words.
If you want the Homestead law
carried out, vote the Reform ticket.
If you want it placed on the shelf,
vote for Bush, Widemann, Wilcox
and Walker.

THAT TICKET AND PLATFORM AGAIN.

The political situation is certainly
queer A party in professed hostility to
the Government has solemnly met and
in an elaborate and carefully written
platform, affirmed and pledged them
selves to the support of almost every
principle which distinguishes the very
Government to which they are so bitterly
opposed. This is accompanied by an
express reputation of all their various
platforms, declarations and principles.
This reputation they call by fine
name, it is true. Evolution" is their
word. If this is a case of evolution, it is
one that would make Prof. Huxley stare,
and Darwin, if he had lived to see it, would
have been overwhelmed at his own
moderation in giving monkey SO many
thousand years to turn into man. They
do these things much quicker on Fort
street. Doubtless the warm. climate has
something to do with it. The metamor-
phosis to which has turned the foolish
document SO pompously Illuminated by
the Union few weeks ago into the rea-
sonable instrument it now seems in
general to be, would make capital cut
for comic paper if it could only be
drawn.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-01-14

as originally announced, lepers in all
stages were kept there. Such lepers as
were removed from the community, in
stead of being sent to Molokai were re-
tanned here.
The rankest favoritism prevailed. No
one with any political influence thought
of going to Molokai. His political pulp
was operated, and he was not sent. Per-
mits were freely issued to the inmates to
60 out and visit their friends by the
agent in charge, the President of the
Board, and even by the King. Shysters
made practice OF charging commits
sion to.obtain permits of release.
A case OF native Kahuna practice
came up in the Honolulu Police Court.
The case was one Of a woman, leprous
inmate of the Kakaako Hospital, who
had been released from the Hospital on
a personal order of the King. The evil
dence is too digusting to be specified, but
anyone with a taste for the subject
(which We touch as lightly as possible)
can satisfy himself by consulting the
record.
Meanwhile lepers publicly walked the
streets without molestation, the disease
steadily increased among the natives,
and the Board of Health turned out vol
umes of high-sounding literature on the
subject of the treatment of leprosy.
This was the situation when the Re-
form party came into power on the 1st OF
July, 1887.
During the fifteen months from April
l, 1886, the beginning of the biennial
period, until July l, 1887, when the
Gibson regime came to an end, the Board
of Health records show that only twenty
eight lepers were sent to Molokai.
During the first nine months OF the
incumbency of the Reform party, from
July l, 1887, to March 81, 1888, there
were sent to Molokai 293 lepers; and
during the twenty-one months from
March 81, 1888, to July l, 1889, there
have been sent to Molokai 760, making a
total of 1,053.
This enormous number; the expense
of removing and caring for which has
been cast upon the Reform party, is di-
rectly traceable to the policy of the late
administration of trafficking in human
life for political ends.
BY the strict measures now adopted
the disease is thoroughly in hand. With
individual exceptions, the country is free
from lepers, and those at large are mostly
hidden away in caves and mountain
Businesses where they are practically
segregated.
New cases as they develope are i'm
mediately removed.

segregated.
New cases as they develope are i'm
mediately removed.
The Reform party, whilst strictly car
rying out the segregation law, has dis
played the greatest liberality in caring
for the lepers.
Since July, 1887, the Government has
spent over $4,000 in permanent i'm
provements at the Molokai Settlement,
in laying on water throughout the settle
ment, erecting additional hospital facili-
ties, homes for the care of boys, girls
and unprotected females, and large
number of new and commodious build
ings for occupation by the lepers. The
food supply has been improved in quail
ity, and the annual stipend paid by the
Government to each leper for miscella-
neous expenses has been increased from
Sc to $40 each.
In addition to this a station has been
established at Kalihikai, in retired
spot four miles from Honolulu, where
persons exhibiting preliminary symp-
toms OF the disease receive hospital
treatment free of charge.
This is in charge of Specialist, who
comes with the highest recommenda-
tions, who devotes himself, first, to
treating the suspects" with the hope
that by taking the disease in time its
progress may be checked and the vic
Tins preserved to society; and second,
to the scientific investigation of the dis
ease looking toward its prevention and
cure. A branch hospital for treatment
of lepers at Molokai under DR.. Unna's
method will shortly be established
there, under the supervision of DR.. Lutz,
the specialist referred to.
Mr.. Rosa and Mr.. Bush, who proclaim
themselves as hostile to the Administra-
ton, and are now asking to be again
placed in control of the machinery of
the Board of Health, were members of
the Cabinet during whose admlnistra-
ton on the iniquitous methods above re-
ferred to were carried on.
No wonder they are opposed to the
Reform party. Every day of its exist
ence is standing reproach to them and
a continuous protest against their Grim
inal incompetency, if not deliberate
wickedness, while in Office, which has
resulted in death and misery to hun
dreds of their fellow-citizens.
The declaration of the administration
in their statement of policy on this sub
iect is as follows:-
at is believed that strict ad-
herence to the policy of the segregation
will stamp ont the disease IN the course
of few years. The present indications
are that high tide has been reached, and
that the number OF new cases develop
ing will steadily diminish. With this
object and hope in view the Cabinet will
continue to carry out policy of rigid |
segregation of every person having the
leprosy."
In bold contrast to this unequiyocal
stand, is the only reference to the sub
iect in the platform of the Re-actionary
party, which reads as follows:-
al. Due attention must be given to |
the general education with liberal sup
port of schools; to the health of the
at large, and to the sanitary
conditions of the city of Honolulu"

The statement made above con-
cerning the results accomplished by
the present Administration in set
tling families under the Homestead
Law, will undoubtedly be surprise
even to those who are somewhat
familiar with the subject.
The actual settlement of $50 fami-
lies starting life in genuine pioneer
fashion, owning their homes, culti-
waiting their own land, marks an era
in the history of this country, where
it has so long been the habit to de-
clare that small farmers could not
exist. The faithful carrying out of
the Homestead Law scores long
credit mark for the Reform party.

The National Reform party is the name
by which the Mechanics Union and Hui
Kalaiaina, that curious mixture have
agreed to call themselves. 1t is only in
order that having stolen the principles,
they should proceed to appropriate the
name of the party which they are at
tacking There is a good deal of ''cold
nerver about the whole performance,
but no one need be disturbed by it. 1t
is the highest tribute which could pos
sibly be paid to the record and achieve
ments of the real National Reform Party
that its enemies think they have no hope
of victory unless they march to battle
under its banner, shouting its watch
word, protesting its most important
principles, bearing its name. Henry
Ward Beecher said once that, hypocrisy
is the tribute which vice pays to virtue.
No one cares TO counterfeit the
base metals. We hope that the new
standard bearers of reform are not
counterfeiters, but imitators merely.
IS Either is a somewhat inglorious role,
but here there is no other alternative.
No great originality is possible (the
changes which have been made in the
acknowledgements are anything but
improvements, and, after all, to be will
ling to initiate a good example when set
by person one dislikes, is a manly
thing. 1t is not everyone who will listen
to good advice if the devil gives it.
Brabantio would not, and while he was
refusing, his daughter was running
away. The comparison with the devil
is particularly appropriate, because to
the head of the new ticket doubtless one
of the Ministers, at least, seems little
better than the arch fend in person.
On the whole We are by no means dis
posed to sneer at the Mechanics Union
for adopting SO many OF the principles
of the Government. We think it to
their credit. But to some of their can
didates the selection must be exceeding
ly embarrassing. John E. Bush will
have to teach his barrel organ another
tune, if the poor, cracked old instrument
is capable of it. The Elele will have to
be solemnly repudiated, and Robert
Wilcox will have to prove that he
climbed the Palace wall last July not for
the reasons which he has lately set forth |
in Court but TO abolish the veto alto
gether, to whip, as it were, the lazy con-
stitutional nag of the country into a
galop.

night in Jail, they were tried before
Justice Grim and found guilty. Ray
paid his assessment, and John left his
old shotgun as collateral security for
payment of fine. 1t appears that the
lads were out having sport with their
guns in close proximity to Mr.. Glass
residence, and when notified to leave
became impudent. Ray declared that
the land was not posted, and threaten |
ingly bantered the owner out into the
road. Fearing that such conduct
would lead to their arrest, Ray sub |
sequently babe his mother goodbye,
after which the two repaired to the
Depot, presumably to take the cars
for parts unknown. Before time how
ever, for the departure of a train, they
became alarmed at the sight of police
men and took to their heels, but were
captured two or three miles out the
Martinsburg pike.
