Whether leprosy is contagious is
question which has never been
settled yet. Armand Hansen, the
greatest authority on the subject
says it is not directly contagious
and the younger scientists who have
made the sickness study follow in
his steps. However,. the question
before us is how the people of the
Territory will receive the suggestion
attributed to Mr., Flint. The lepers
will resent it with good reason as
any other person would who was
asked to write his confidential com.
munications through officials ap-
pointed by the government. 1t is
safe to say that no complaints
against the officials would ever
reach the friends of the lepers or
the press or headquarters,
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

The agent knows his business OF
course and we have no fault to find
with his ruling.-if the ruling is in
accord with that laid down by the
U. S. Post Office Department. We
will not enter on a discussion
whether germs OF leprosy may be
spread through letters written by
lepers to their friends. Mr.. Flint
believes they can and the greatest
medical authorities say they cannot.
But how about money-paper or
coin-which the )epers own and
forward to their families for their
support or for buying supplies for
them. How about the moneys paid
into the stores at Kalaupapa by
lepers aud ,-remitted to HONOLULU
Will it be necessary to have an
"amanuensis" to handle the coin or
should branch Of the U. S. mints
be established at the Settlements A
letter sent from leper to one per-
son can never spread as many germs
as the money which will be circu-
lated among thousands OF people.
1t is we'll known that money is the
great medium for the spreading OF
contagious diseases and yet it has
never been suggested to deprive the
lepers of their money and prevent
them from making their remit
tances. We presume the Special
Agent will also stop those suffering
from consumption from writing
letters except per amanuensis, and
his next step will be to have an
amannensis appointed for every
syphilitic person in the States.

THE REACTION.

A correspondent asks us why the
banks and capitalists decline to ad-
vance money on real estate or other
good securities. He asks us why
there is distinct depression in
trade during the last two months,
why the sugar stocks will not "go
ups" why the premiums on exchange
have dropped from rs to 30, and
why our imports exceed our exports.

THE LEPER QUESTION.

The special agent OF the Post
Ofiioe Department believes that
measures must be adopted which
will prevent the inmates Of the
Leper Settlement to correspond
with their friends and business
agents except through an amanu-
ensis.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

The depression in trade is simply
due to the lack Of ready money and
to the fact that we are over. stocked
with people and under. stocked with
business. This is the dull season
anyway, and the outlook for strikes
and wars make people who have
money wary of their cash.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

The sugar stocks will not, "go up''
as long as the labor question is set
tied. Besides there are a great deal
of assessable stocks to be attended
to and the holders have TO do all
they can to meet their obligations.
The market was inflated from the
beginning and the balloon is ready
to burst.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

That the premium on exchange
has dropped was to be expected. 1t
may be construed as sign OF drop
in the prosperous condition of the
country, but we really don't see why
even the present premium should be
as high as it is.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

We are not quite prepared to an
swer the important questions pro-
pounded, but we should say that the
money lenders decline to advance
money on real estate because the
borrowers are placing an excessive
valuation on their properties. The
banks as a rule were willing to ad-
vance loans on real estate to one
half or even two-thirds of the ASSESS
able valuation. IL there is sufficient
money in the market we believe the
banks would continue, to do 80, but
they will certainly place their own
valuation on the securities offered
and not accept that of the man who
believes we have tremendous boom.

We have not been able to ascer-
tain to-day whether our imports

alarming surprise. II it is 30 we
presume it is dne to the heavy i'm

new plantations, and to the large
stock of goods ordered prior Ito our
becoming Territory.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

Our correspondent insinuates that
the banks have formed a ring for
the purpose OF freezing out the
small fry and more especially for
the purpose OF controlling the next
election and the Legislature by
holding the whip-hand over the
small property owners, We do not
believe that politics play the slight
est figure in the present financial
situation, or that the capitalists give
a thought to the next Legislature.
They have troubles enough OF their
own for the present.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-07-20

and some disastrcus results may be

vaal nor OF the Kip. and the environs
of johannesburg were reached by the
British without losing hardly man.
This sudden change In the attitude Of the
Beers Is due In large measure, undoubted-
ly, to the rspidity Of Lord Robsrts's ad-
vance and the overwhelming numerical
superiority Of his army. 1t Il highly
improbable that the: men who fought 50
valiantly at Spion xop and Magersfon-
tein have suddenly parted with their
courage. The truth Is that they are 50
overwhelmed by numbers that Resistance
is useless. We doubt II the Boer armies
all told can show 5000 effective men,
while the British have 10000 Against
such odds 1t Is simply madness to con-
tend. The British arc crushing the
Transvaalers not by superior bravery,
not even by superior generalship. but by
vastly superior. numbers. IL will not be
a victory which England viii have any
reason to plume herself upon. A giant
will have whipped q pigmy, not by mill
itary prowess. not by superior bravery,
but simply by bigness. For ali that

GOLD IN THE PHILIPPINES.

George II. Becker in Scribner's.)
Gold Is found at an endless number of
points in the Philippines, almost every
stream which cuts the older rocks carry
ing some dust, and auriferous quartz
veins also are known at several points in
Luzon and In Mindanao. 1 have been
able to obtain no information warranting
the belief that there Is any highly impor-
tant gold field in the archipelago. The
natives are extremely skilful with the
pan, and have been exploiting the graves
for centuries. They also understand
"salting" a mine. do not believe they
have left any great prizes In the way Of
placers, and, to some extent, they have
also worked the quartz. / consider the
gold resources of the Philippines compar-
able with those Of the Carolinas and
Georgia, rather than with those of Colo
RADIO or California. The resources of Min
danao are not so unknown as many sup
pose. Competent experts made exainina-
lions years ago. in each of the aurifer-
GUS provinces, Misamis and SURFACE, and
neither of them reported encouraging re-
suits. Great caution should be exercised
in seeking to develop gold mining in the
Philippine islands.

ard Thing Many Suppose.

Most people have an idea that freight
Is the last thing that railroads look after
Many profess to believe that a piece Of
freight once started on its journey Is al
lowed 10 loaf along at its own sweet will
and pleasure. stopping where 1t wishes
and staying rs long as it likes, and only
bringing up at its destination when there
Is nowhere else to go.
When you have waited day after day
for that piano which was shipped q
month ago, you pre- ready to adopt that
opinion. But don't be in hurry. When
that piano box shows up in Poughkeep-
sic at the time 1t should be in Portland,
the Pougbkeepsie agent does not uncase
the instrument md give a series of box
car recitals for the next two months.
You may think he does, but he doesn't.
Not a bit OF it. There is no welcome
anywhere for the wandering Willies Of
freightdom. No agent wishes to be
caught with missing freight piled up in
his yard or house. The truth of the mat
ter Is the railroads are continually punch
Ing laggard freight in the ribs and ad-
monishing 1t to move on.
1t is an interesting study to see how the
railroads handle their immense freight
business. To the outsiders q freight Of

trained TO the work II Is all as simple as
a problem In short division. No matter
how far from home car is 1t is always
in touch with the home Office. II the car
has had bad luck and one OF its trucks is
sprained, the home Office knows about it
and sends an order TO have it placed in
the nearest car hospital and doctored up
to working condition. The Office knows
just what the car Is earning, and IL it
thinks its travelling expenses are getting
too big II shifts its route or calls II home.
1t Is only once in awhile that a car gets
away from the home Office altogether
and when one does there is no sleep for
any one till the runaway Is found and
started In the right direction.
After you have listened to a freight
agents description of the elaborate plans
taken to look after freight you will mar
vel that a single package ever goes
astray.

midas AWFUL CONDITION.



New York, May eo.-The manager Of
the India famine relief work OF the
Christian Herald has received from Gil
son wiliets, IN Bombay, cabie message
which says In part:
tour Of the famine districts In Bombay
presidency, Including the native states Of
Gujarat and Baroda. Everywhere he
was confronted with shocking and re-
voting scenes. He found the famine
camps stampeded by cholera and small
pox fugitives, Who had come from dis
tant points OF Infection and are now
scattering these diseases In all directions.
Many are dying Ia the fields and bitches
and along the roadside. At Godthra
about three hundred miles north of
Bombay in Gujsr<t district, there were
three thousand deaths from cholera in
sitting and strongly imprcguated with q
frightful odor from hundreds Of decay
ing bodies. which lay about unburied.
The water was also impregnated with
/ pOis On from the human carcasses aud
every whore tho stencil was understandable
and sickeuing. In the ehospitaIs tho
death rate, - reported by the physicians,
was ninety per cent.
At Ahmedabad, about eighty miles
west VI Godthra, he found the water
supply vitiated and prolific cause Of
sickness. A. terrible mortality pre-
vailed among the cattle In that section.
rendering them wholly unfit for food.
In the poorhouse he saw q new patient
brought In and placed face to face with
dead man. The occupant OF every
fourth cot was dead man. He next
visited tho smallpox and cholera wards
Of viramgan. All the patients were
lying on the ground. In other respects
the condition Of affairs there was i'm
proving and hopeful.
DIR. Klopsch declares that the stories
of human bodies being devoured by
vultures, dogs and jackals absolutely
are true. Dogs were seen in some of
the districts running OF with the limbs
of children in their jaws. 1t is evident,
DR.. Klopsch adds. that the India Govern
ment is doing its best to fight back the
ravages of famine and disease. The
native officials, however, are heartlessly
Indifferent and the present condition of
a large part of India is worse than at
any time during the century.

THE BOER RETREAT.

At last accounts General Roberts s
army was close to Johannesburg, and as
the time when he expected to enter has
already gone by, 1t Is probable,
though not absolutely certain, that the city
is In the hands Of the British. The threats
that were freely made sometime ago to
blow up the mines appear to have been
mere threats without any sincere inten-
tion to carry them out, for at last ac-
counts the mines were intact, though
the British were so near the city that had
there been any real intention of destroy
ing them it would have been execut-
ed. Since Lord Roberts set out from
Bloemfontein for the Transvaal the re-
sistance of the Beers has rapidly declined
1t was expected that they would fight
most fiercely in their own territory, but
there has been no resistance since Bloem-
fontein was taken at all comparable to
what the British encountered In the
Orange Free State or In Natal. Indeed
since Lord Roberts left Bloemfontein the
Beers have done nothing but retreat.

The birds are kept in a room the floor Of

conditions they pass the last eve or six

feathers Of the body drop out. and the
bird becomes q mere ball Of fat with

and dips Its beak into champagne. with
