The compulsory fees are nominal, but
the person insured may voluntarily in
crease them and the benefits can he
extended accordingly
Socialistic experiments of this kind
differ entirely from charity. Socialism
seeks to elevate the human being as
well as to alleviate his lot. Under
system of compulsory insurance such
as has been attempted in England, IL
poor man has an accident, he does
not become an object of charity, he
has a right to the care which he re-
ceives. His dignity is not lost. He
has not to cringe before the giver So
cialism forces him to respect himself
Socialism raises; charity in a great
number of cases pauperizes. Anyone
who has lived out here and has seen
the effect of many of the workings Of
our social system and it's influence up
on the people will readily acknowledge
that the process of giving which was
adopted by government after govern
ment is at the bottom of much deteri-
Grafton in the Hawaiian character.
Inc piihSlpleS VI SOCldllSln are noun
ing new. They have been recognized
by the greatest thinkers the world has
ever seen blossom forth among man
kind. The theory is frequently recog-
nized talked about written about but
the practical application is ever the
stumbling block. There is more and
more a tendency to practical applica-
ton. however, and from different parts
of the globe come accounts of efforts
after the light. Perhaps the next CEN
fury will see the great advance. When
ever the advance is made it will be for
the benefit of mankind. When COM
pleted the much talked of millennium
will have arrived and how to live hap
PLY and well will have been solved.

"CONGE D'ELIRE."

The freedom to elect a president of
the Board of Health other than the At
torney General, reminds one rather of
the freedom that an English and ca
thedral chapter has of eecting it's bish-
op. Under that happy system of a
state church bishops in England are
appointed by the Prime Minister of the
day. If the Prime Minister is a Con-
sentative the bishopricks that fall va
cant generally fall to clergymen who
are of that style of politics. If the
Liberals are in power, the bishopricks
go to the Liberal priests.
The chapter is called together, and
receives what is known as a "conge
d'elire," or leave to elect, but the name
of the person required to be elected is
duly placed in the letters missive,"
and if the chapter does not follow the
advice the members fall under pain
of ''praemunire. by which among 9TH
er penalties they remain in prison dur
ing the sovereigns pleasure and all
their goods are forfeited to the crown.
So it is very clear that the chapters
are never recalcitrant.
In our Board of Health this is no
statute of praemunire to fear but the
displeasure of the executive council
would soon make itself felt if the
members failed to use their freedom
in electing the Attorney General pres
ident. Mankind prates of freedom, and
in nineteen cases out of twenty never
has chance of using it. 1t will be
noted that Attorney General Cooper
has been duly elected president of the
Board of Health, thus confirming a
precedent of freedom of election"

SOCIALISM'S EFFECTS.

"Oh! he's a socialist" says the mar
row minded or semi-ignorant, and like
the Levite in the parable, passes by on
the other side. How many average
people understand what a socialist is,
and what the aim of socialism is? The
word has become a sort of phrase of
contempt in certain circles, and is
pushed forth to put stop to uncom-
Portable statements which disturb the
pleasant run of things
The Gracchi We're socialists. So was
Rienzi. So was Savonarola, and the
greatest socialist was Christ The So
cialist's great aim is the good of his
fellow men. He would save man from
himself and from his own kind. He
would strive to prevent the accumula-
ton of wealth in single hands, he would
bring peace and plenty to every one.
He is ever regarded by his own gener-
alton is Utopian, and he generally suf-
fers at the hands of those for whom he
labors. The Gacchi were murdered by
the mob. Rienzi met the, same fate.
Savonarola was burned in the great
Gifted near Jerusalem. There are thou
sands of other socialists who have met
with hard fate in all quarters of the
globe.
People will listen to socialism preach
ed from the pulpit, and will go con-
trary to all it's rules during six days of
the week And yet the best of social
istic doctrines keep spreading and bear
practical fruit at intervals. The south
ern Anglo-SaXon colonies have adopted
many of the doctrines and made prac-
teal application, and similar efforts
have at various times been made in
Switzerland, in Germany, in Russia
and in Italy and other European coun-
tries.
The latest experiment in municipal
socialism has been attempted in some
of the smaller cities of England. This
is law compelling the poor to insure
their lives, their limbs and their prop
erty. Under this law the municipal
government requires the people within
its Jurisdiction to pay a small tax or
fee weekly, monthly or quarterly, as a
premium for insurance that will pre-
vent them and their families becoming
public charges in case of death or ac-
cident. The theory of this is that it is
a legitimate substitute for almshouses,
hospitals and other public charities.

Honolulu is a spot where people from
from every part of the world, men
who have seen the remotest parts of
the earth, and taken part in some of
its most stirring events, turn up.
Great scientists, great statesmen,
prominent soldiers, brilliant sailors,
all pass through, and many linger
among our beautiful scenes, and en-
Joy our soft climate. In the course of
a year one can see and meet more dis
tinguished people in Honolulu than
you would in ten years in some inland
city of the United States or of Europe.
Just now Cotton Clayton, a member of
the celebrated Jameson raid is in the
city. He was also present at the TAX
ing of Manila, and gives the story of
that event from fresh point of view,
in another column.

One of the peculiarities of mankind
is the reversion to some old type. Sol
ONION worded this wisely and we'll
when he wrote There is nothing new
under the SUM-" A custom, or a plan,
of making money may fall out of use
for years, and then, behold it comes up
as fresh as ever, and has just as much
success as it had in the by-gone age.
Anyone conversant with the literature
of Elizabethan times will remember
that outside of the magic circle of
duly qualified physicians there were
doctors who had great skill and sue
cess, but who in order to gain prac-
tice quickly and gather together the
rustics, used to give a show and have
some one to patter for them. The
nineteenth century brings about the
reversion to the old type, and we have
been having on these Islands people
who make a free show the medium of
selling remedies which are perfectly
good and trustworthy, but which
would not find so large a market were
it not for this particular form of ad-
vertising. We may regard the Kicka-
poo Indians and others as the direct
lineal descendants of the mythical
Wayland Smith.

81 have seen the rooms of their
homes left in wild disorder; have seen
their servants sitting in idleness with
work on every hand to do; have seen
the children neglected and left to their
own devices; l have heard husbands
speak in derision of the motives of their
wives. No woman in happy American
home can ever afford to listen to these
parasites of her sex.
Fortunately. the platform woman's
influence is steadily ON the wane She
