in strident tones that the rights and

committee reports with his left hand,
and attaches his signature TO letters

sister Rose Gertrude's Reasons for Lesvs
ing Her work Among the LeP"rs.
The ground was divided into three
parts-onc for suspects chat IS, per-
sons whom the doctors are not sure
having the diseased, one for the lepers
under DIR. Lutz's treatment, and the
third for the persons brought in for ex-
animation and the unfortunates wait
ing TO be shipped to Molokai. The
board Of health vested rhe entire CON
troll Of the hospital. apart from the
medical and surgical work. in their
agent, who also acts as a sort of pO-
Iiceman TO catch the lepers and bring
them up for examination. He in his
turn gave over the authority To the
Luna sort Of general overseer-one
of the leper patients, a mar Of no edu-
cation. who confessed himself that be
fore he got the disease he often had
the devil" This overseer retained all
the keys Of communication until the
day left, even Of the suspect side,
which he ought not to have entered, as
he was a confirmed leper.
Space would fail were l TO tell of all
that took place during those six ven
full months. In that time some of the
patients, formerly pronounced lepers,
were cured; the condition of all was
ameliorated, and hope sprang high in
the hearts of these hitherto d~espairing
people. Then came a time when, in
several instances the doctors wishes
and mine were pat aside; some of our
patients were made TO work by the
Luna in an ute Iy unfit condition one,
indeed, who hc had strong fever, was
90 thrown baC that he nearly lost his
life. Lastly, ,eheard from the patients
that the Lur and the agent had been
speaking aga lst thedortor and myself,
trying 10 pr, udice the people and dc
Us harm.
We con- planned 10 the board Of
health, a the matter became nor
serious; t.Cy seemed unwilling tO take
any steps in the matter. Anutive gen
tleman. representative Of the people in
the legislative assembly. took up the
matter and brought it before the house.
A committee from the house visited
the hospital three days. and took down
vOluminOus evidence. which was print
ed in a report. They found that the
Luna was unworthy Of his Office M
should be immediately removed, as
also the agent of the board Of health.
This was not done. The president Of
the board Of health was removed from
his Office.
For some unaccOuntable reason Of
their own, they upheld the Luna and
The agent, and there was nothing left
but for the doctor and myself to re
sign, it being impossible 10 work any
longer under the then existing circum
stances. And so, with an aching heart,
we left the people, with all the more
s0rrow that their lives had been sc
bright with hope before, as one Of them
said in his speech before the committee
of the legislative assembly, There
never has been such a doctor before in
these islands; there never has been a
woman who has cared - for the lepers.

A dazed expression came Owe the

European Affairs.

To all outward appearance, says the
Salt Lake News, Europe is Just now more
reposeful than st any time in its history
for hundred years at least. This. in
view of the fact that diplomats, States
men and close observers generally have
not only conceded but claimed for dozen
years or more that the great powers were
on the very verge of q vast and destruc~
tive conflict; if they were right.as to the
war feeling prevalent and only wrong as
to the imminence of q struggle, we NAV
properly regard the presently placid con-
dition Of things political abroad as the
awful hush that precedes a mighty
storm. This is borne out by the facts
that not one of the nations presumably
harboring the war spirit Germany Rus
STA, France, Austria and Italy-have cur
tailed their standing armies by SO much
as one soldier, or have ordered the dis
placement of one sailor or one gun
from their battle ships; furthermore,
their ornaments are subjects of daily,
almost incessant, inspection and repairs
and Improvements are put in wherever
suggested. Frontier Notifications are
jealousy overlooked and the slightest
movement out of the common by either
officials or people in any one Of those
nations is at once subject of the most

painful unrest. These psnicky cOndi-
tons, as the Peoria Journal also com.
ments, can be but the outward manifesto
tons of that deep and intense feeling Of
hostility and enmity which prevail in Of
fetal circles at least in the quarters
named, and but serve to still further
illustrate that the apparent peace and
good will are simply the insction of q
sleeping tiger-that Europe is in good
truth resting upon volcano. With
Moltke in the grave and Bismarck hope
lessly estranged from the emperor,
Germany is in no such position for
war now as it was a few years ago.
We doubt il there is leader II
the entire nation who could
arouse even part of it to such pitch of
enthusiasm as was created among the
masses when the late Emperor William
threw the responsibility of the Franco
German war upon the former power and
in person took the field to fight for father
land. The people are loyal to.their gov
eminent and their sovereign, but call to
arms and an order to the field now would
be obeyed simply as matter of duty and
of discipline; there would be no such q
rush to the front with a great shout as
would practically close places of business
and altogether close universities and
schools. Perhaps the people of the other
powers are in possession of similar feel
ing, but not we take it, to the same ex-
tent as in Germany. However that may
be. whenever war does break out,
there will be found enough men and mu-
uitions to make it long and bloody one.
