OFFICIAL PUBLiCITY.

For the benefit OF 'our novices in
Government" as the Japanese news
papers term our "best government" !"
The INDEPENDENT gives the follow
ing on ''oficial publicily:"
Count Okuma is not whit be
hind Count Itagaki in giving pub
licity to official affairs, which have
for the greater part been k-pt secret
The Asahi says: AS every one is
aware, some foreign affairs require
to be concealed from the public.
But too much secrecy arousps base
less suspicious in the minds OF he
public and causes great inGonveni-
euce TO commerce, aud often leads
people to believe that certain SO
crets have been divulged to "a few
favored persons. The former Cabi-
net used to publish Consular re-
ports for the benefit Of commerce.
But this is not enough, and the
present Minister for Foreign Affairs
intends, it is said, to publish not
only Consular reports but all official
reports, as far as they do not relate
to affairs which ought to be- ahso-
lutely kept secret. In a corner Of a
waiting room in the Foreign Office,
a place will be- provided for posting
every such report as can be made
public.
1t must be admitted that foreign
governments are rarely SO secretive
as the Hawaiian, but then on the
other hand they have less to be
ashamed or afraid of. That they do
not represent the people is fully
evidenced by the electoral register
and consequently as they are acting
against the peoples will they dare
not take the people into their conf
dence, but must betray them secret,
ly like Judas.

The facts, as gathered from those
in a position to know, are simply
these: Kalauao, an old native Ha
waiian, aged about rs years, was
found dead, stark naked, on the ver-
andah OF the house OF native wo-
man living on Nuuanu street. The
deceased had been without resources
for some time, and had lived on the
charity of the woman in whose
house he was found. A while ago
he was sent away from the house
being, it is claimed, of thieving and
filthy habits. The police took him
in, and he was for several days living
at the Station House, the authori-
ties not knowing how to dispose OF
him. The Police Department is not
running a "workhouse," however,
and the Marshal had no right to
hold the man there without bring
ing a charge against him.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-05-04

There is food for thought in this
incident. The Hawaiians during
the Monarchy never died desert ed
by mankind, nor were they buried
