General WeyIer Himself TO Blame.
(New York Times.)

OF course General Weyler is indig-
nant because people here. instead of
holding him. like other men, innocent
of any charge until it is proved, insist
on regarding him as guilty until he has
demonstrated the groundlessness of the
accusation beyond the shadow Of a
doubts shadow. Who wouldn't be in
dignant at treatment like that? Still.
it's hard to see what the general is
going to do to make his anger effective.
His record is so very, very bad: his
character is so well known and his
only hopes of success rest so entirely
upon what he can accomplish by
treachery, that really nobody can quite
conceive that he may have been the
victim of calumny. This is a dreadful
position TO be in. but that General
Weyier occupies ii is his own fault.

Now that the loan bill has reached
the House, the members are seriously
considering the advisability of making
the bonds redeemable after five
ture bondholder made glad. The bill
as passed by the Senate provides that
the bonds may be redeemed at any time
by the payment of a five per cent. pre-
MUM. This clause was inserted so that
the Government would be in position
to refund its entire indebtedness. The
House would have favored the refund
ing bill if an opportunity had been
given for an expression of opinion, and
now it appears to be prepared to insert
a feature in the new loan act that will
at least put over half a million dollars
of the public loan without the vale of
possible refunding. 1t is true that to
take up this loan within five years will
practically increase the interest to
something like seven per cent. 1t is
also true that unless the 1896 loan can
be redeemed and again f1oated at a
lower rate of interest it will be al
lowed to run the full term of the bonds.
With the possibilities of refunding and
annexation in view, this country can
not afford to allow it's bonded indebt-
edness to be tied up in long term bonds

PROPOSED SECRET SOCIETY.

A recent issue of the leading Portu-
guese paper contains the constitution
of a secret political organization which
members of the colony hope to form.
In the first section of the constitution is
set forth the reasons for creating the
organization. These reasons are sub
stantially TO the effect that the Portu-
guese colony has requested the Gov
eminent to make certain reforms, and
having failed in obtaining proper action
in connection with said reforms, the
colony feels called upon to form a Sc
cret political organization in order to
obtain what is wanted.
This opening section is the most eX
traordinary piece of literature that has
been brought to our attention for many
a day, as coming from a combination
of people who have asserted and reas-
serted their loyalty to the Government,
and published abroad their intention of
making their principles and objects
always free and above board. 1t may be
that there has been mistake in the
translation, and that the ideas express
ed in English do not have the same
meaning when put in the Portuguese
language. At all events, the tenets set
forth in this first section, which states
the why's and wherefores, are decidedly
raw. It is not reasonable to expect that
the Government will grant a license to
an organization that puts such planks
in it's platform. .
We are not ready to believe that the
Portuguese colony has come to the point
Of supporting the subtle meaning that
may be implied from the first clause in
the constitution of the new secret So
ciety. Furthermore, there will be little
or nothing gained by changing their or
ganization into a secret combination.
Some of the Portuguese leaders have
complained that they have been mis-
represented, and admitting their state
ment to be true, they may be sure
that the formation of a secret political
society VIII J5uu " liCi case C-IC LII"
Nothing can be gained
playing politics in the dark. The Portu- |
guese leaders claim to be working in |
the interests of Hawaii, and if they are
true to their claims they will maintain |
publicity as one of the corner stone
of their organization. They
claim that the Legislature has not done
by them as it should. If such is the
case, secrecy will not assist in convinc-
ng the public. 1t may be that the con-
;titution of the Portuguese society mis-
'epresents the objects of the organiza-
ion-we hope it does. Our Portuguese
riends ought to remember that reforms
,annot be carried out in a day.

The -by-nine policy of the
Board OF Health in cOndescending to
allow zone representative of the press
to accompany them on the semi-annual
trip to Molokai is not in keeping with
the usual good judgment displayed by
the Board. If the Board were at the
mercy of the newspapers of a less easy
going community they would be burn
ed to the crisp in consequence of such
short-sighted action. The principal OBJ
lection to allowing members of the
press to go on the trip is the expressed
fear of sensational articles. To the best
of our knowledge and belief there never
has been a sensational article appear in
the Honolulu newspapers as the result
of regularly credited representative
going 10 Molokai with the Board of
Health The Board should at least give
those having control of the newspapers
the credit of possessing average COM
mon sense in dealing with such an I'M
pleasant subject. We know full we'll
that Government officials have nothing
to conceal in the administration of at
fairs on Molokai, and that their plea
yune action in this case was simply the
result of a lack of knowledge of how to
handle newspaper men and extend to
them the common courtesy which is
their just due.

TEMPERANCE AND WINE.

The beautiful inconsistency in boom
ing Minister Damon's wine bill as al
once a measure to promote temperance
and benefit the California wine dealers
is brought out in the report of the
Committee on Commerce presented to
the Senate on Friday. To carry out
the temperance features of the bill-if
there are any-it should, as Senator
Baldwin suggests, an increase in the i'm
port duty on wines from Is to 21 per
cent. alcoholic strength. Yet if Senator
Baldwin's idea is carried out the country
will be open to the accusation of in
creasing import duties on wines. there

fits of the Reciprocity treaty.

the Executive has put the country be-

the bill is killed it will furnish han

ought to be ashamed of it. 1t is said
that politics makes queer bedfelIows.
and certainly this bill creates a queer
combination when it mixes up temper
ance with the wine business. The law
might well be passed provided it is
amended SO that the exemption from

The schedule Of prices for physicians
adopted by the Medical Society ought
to suggest the insertion of the ply
sicians' license in the license bill. If
the physicians are to combine to de-
mand the fees proposed in the schedule
given in another column, they can well
afford to pay a liberal fee for attending
to the ailments of our good citizens.
A physician can, of course, charge as he
pIeases, but when the physicians of a
country combine to fix rates for medical
attendance it is also taken as a matter
of course that they will take into con-
sideration the condition of the purse
of the common people. The sentimental
side of a physicians duty in alleviating
the aches and pains of humanity disap-
pears like dew before the morning sun
when one considers the new price he
has to pay for being so unfortunate as
to require a physicians services. If
these prices become established the
poor people will begin to ponder
whether it is better to die or be loaded
down with a big doctors bill.
