SUBSCRIPTION FOR TIE LEpERs.

For sometime past the attention
of the Board of Health has often
been called to the dilapidated con-
dition of the instruments used by
the band at the leper settlement.
These instruments have been in use
many years and are dented, broken
and worn out 80 generally that the
best music that can be produced
from them is of a Wheezy, discord-
ant nature, pleasant to the ear only
because it is all there is TO be had.
As the band is practically the only
source of entertainment and amuse-
ment available for the poor unfor-
Inmates of the settlement, it seems
highly fitting that what pleasure
may be obtained from this source
should not be marred by the lack
of ways and means which can be
contributed by the public. The
band is local organization and it
is hardly within the province of the
Board of Health to furnish the
funds for the new instruments.
Hence the inhabitants of the settle
ment must content themselves with
what they have until some one can
see their way clear to give the
needed money.
Certain it is that this has been a
season of donations, and the public
purse has been called upon TO an
unusual degree to reward the good
work of many of our citizens. This
object, however. appeals to a spirit
of humanity, not sentiment, which
cannot well be refused even though
pocket books had been depleted to

VOICE OF THE PRESS.

The Hamilton Star thinks that
the acquisition of the Hawaiian Isl
ands by the United States is not at
all desirable.
W If Mrs. Dominis really has had
Va share in the conspiracy to over
throw the Hawaiian Republic by
force, it will 60 hard with her. But
doubtless her head is secure, which
is more than would have been true
of President Dole if the conditions
were reversed.-Boston Journal.
If Bro. Mitchell could befavored
with sight of the nongrel popu-
lation of Chinese, Malays, Japan
csc, Portuguese and South Sea ISL
anders, the Hawaiian national debt,
and a dozen or more other detesta-
BILE things down there, his opposi-
ton would be considerably intensi-
fied.-The (Wash.), Mountaineer.
1t is a pity that the Hawaiian
question is complicated with parti-
san politics 30 much that nine
tenths of the newspapers In the
country use the Hawaiian matter
to make a point either for or against
the Cleveland administration, to-
tally regardless Of even sound ma
tional policy, to tay nothing of
questions of abstract right or
wrong-S. +. Report.
