Ways The P. c. Ways arc
Peculiar.

Under the heading. Tricks
that are vain the Advertiser
published the following editorial
on the 18th inst. Considerable
favorable comment has bee made
thereon by the general public
and newspaper men aud through
fear the ''Pi might overlook it
On account OF absence, we take
pleasure in reproducing it in the
HoLoNUA with the additional
remark that Eve second the
motion. Following is the article:
The exclusion of newspaper
reporters from the biennial visits
Of the Board of Health to the
leper settlement is piece Of
senility which smacks of second
chiidishness and mere oblivion"
There is absolutely no reason for
this futile attempt to conceal the
affairs of the Government from
the public. The reason assigned,
for not allowing press represent
atives to go, IS the alleged want of
accommodations. Tie reporters
puncture this excuse by will
ingness to sleep on deck. Then
comes the objection that 'if one
paper wishes representation
another will" Why should it notl
Bat if the local press is repre-
sented the foreign press will
demand the same privilege" This
last objection shows where the
saoe pTnches. The American
papers must rot know that there
is any Kalaupapa or Kalawao,
and the wisdom of the ostrich,
which evades pursuit by hiding
its head in the sand. is justified
OF its imitators in the Hawaiian
Government.
If the Attorney General is
really and soberly of the opinion
that the people are best served by
letting the people know just so
much of affairs as its rulers are
pleased to communicate. then he
should apply this rule with con-
sistency and with justice. Why
should each member of the Board
have the right to invite one guest?
Why should visiting clergymen
have a privilege which is denied
to residents? Why is the curios
ity Of the mere tourist allowed a
larger scope than the Legitimate
interest of the public, as repre-
sented by its organ, the Press3
There Is no common sense in
this rule of secrecy and no justice
in the modes of its enforcement.
1t brings nothing but discredit
upon the Government, subjects
its motives to misconstruction.
and deprives it of the strength
which comes from an aroused
and instructed public opinion.

Thon how was it she happened to be work

Good nature always was my worst fault:
I've suffered great deal from 1t in my life,
and its likely always will. But must say
right here. Mis- JONES' that never, never, did

Pretty? No. At any rate, never took

I'm not the kind Of Il person to talk, or
there's things I could tell you. Mis- Jones;
enough to fill book. OF her casting sly
glances at him during meal time and blush

limiting how fond she was Of riding and
was the least chance of his inviting her, and
letting her hair down one day, under the pre-
tense OF headache, and then being so sur
prised when he came into the room-it was
all put on, OF course, but he couldn't tell it.
AS for Mrs. johnson, she was one of those
kind of women who can't see farther than
their own nose. / remember of saving us
much to Betsy Sellers the first day we came,
and just limiting that If we didn't work quite

As said before, Mrs. johnson never could
see anything, that want right in front of her
eyes. so as soon as noticed how she and her
brother were being hoodwinked by that de-

answered in three days. and after I'd read the
letter l made up my mind that out OF common
charity 1 ought to let Mrs. johnson know
what thought. instead Of keeping quiet any
longer. Betsey had beguiled George into
taking her to ride that evening, so we two
were alone together; and I'm not the kind
to waste my words talking around a thing.
