Ii aW All an BONDS.

The failure of Secretary Gage to call
in the haN d ian bonds and the posi-
bility that Le does not intend to do so
without iurtLer light on the subject,
should prompt the Chamber of Com
merce " send a financial agent or
agents to " ashington to present Ha-
walls case 20 the Treasury Depart
ment.
That case rests upon the following
clause OF the Newlands' joint resolu-
ton:
The public debt of the Republic OF Ha-
wall lawfully existing at the date of the
passage Of this resolution, including the
amounts due to depositors in the Ha-
waiian ECstal Savings Bank, is hereby
assumed by the Government of the Unit
ed STATES.
Now Hereby assumed" is a phrase
of no uncertain meaning. A common
sense Interpretation of it Is that when
the clause was enacted the obligation
of the United states was acknowledged
and fixed. To hold, as Secretary Gage
j is said to do. that a special act of Con-
gress is necessary to give another spe-
cial act validity strikes us as being
rotary were to hear the case argued
from a Hawaiian standpoint he might
change his mind.
How would it do for the Chamber of
commerce to send Messrs. Dillingham;
ind Castle authority to represent it at
he Treasury Department and have
hem urge the propriety and necessity
Of prompt relief?

THE LEPEh sUFFRAGE.

The organ of party which hopes to
profit by the votes of the lepers argues
their case from a standpoint of respect
for the intelligence and wealth of some
of them and sympathy for the Attic
lions of all. 1t is the only. standpoint
anyone can reach but we do not ac-
lcept it as a sound one in this discus
sion. Intelligence may be found among
paupers, but being paupers and thereby
dependents, they are usually and prop
erly denied the right to vote. So too,
wealth may be found among persons in
jail, but that does not save them in
most States and instances, from losing
their citizenship. As for sympathy it
belongs to both classes in some degree,
but sympathy ought not to go so far
as to equip either with the suffrage.
The chief point against the law that
permits the voting of iepers is avoid
ed by our contemporary which reso-
lutely begs the question. The point is
that the lepers, being, wards of the Ter
ritory, could be made to vote just as
the Government might wish; and as
some future Government may have no
scruples, the purity of elections may be
jeopardized. That is the reason why
prisoners and paupers are not allowed
to vote elsewhere in the Union and it
applies equally well to lepers who, to
all intents and purposes, are both pris-
oners and paupers. We mean by this
that they are all deprived of their
personal liberty and are mainly sup
ported at the expense Of the State.
While the law as it stands probably
permits the lepers to vote we are not
sure but that it will be nullif1ed by a
refusal to let the ballots be sent to this
capital or to any place outside the Ka-
laupapa district to undergo an official
count. Who wants to count ballots
which lepers have handled? And by
what right can the Government bring
articles from the Molokai pre-
serve and deposit them in an uninfect
ed community? If such a thing is at
we hardly doubt that an in
junction suit will interfere.

CHARACTER OF THE PRESS.

In a London interview the Rev. G.. NJ

newspapers Lave one great fault in

SEGREGATION THREATENED.

Speaking Of the segregation of lepers
the Independent asks IF the next
Legislature says cease segregation
what are you going to do about it"
a like question was asked by Boss
Tweed when he thought that because
a Legislature and Board of Aldermen
were behind him the people could do
nothing to protect themselves. 1t was
asked again in the South by the robber
bands that stole State governments
during the time of reconstruction. At
forwards Boss Tweed and the carpet
baggers learned the truth of Seward s
maxim that there is a higher law than
the Constitution, the first law of ma
ture the unwritten but undeniable
privilege of self-defence; and that it is
never safe to set up public abuse and
ask American citizens what they are
going to do about it?
We do not, however, apprehend that
the Legislature will take such a sui
cidal course as the Independent sug-
gests. Even if both branches should
have a native majority there is no
reason to suppose that they would
adopt any other policy towards segre-
cation than was followed in the native
Legislatures of 1880 and 1882 and 1886
At that time the monarchy was not
friendly to segregation but the law
making body resolutely upheld It.
Since then fear of leprosy has grown
among the natives and those who have
no kindred at Kalaupapa may be trust
ed to oppose any movement that has
for its object the freedom of the victims
of the scaly plague. Natives no more
than white people want to be exposed
to an incurable scourge.
There is another reason why there
will be no legislative response to the
Independents sinister hint and that is
a wholesome fear of Congress. If good
government is not conserved here the
body which gave the boon of suffrage
may see fit to modify it or take it
away. Naturally the natives prize
their newly-acquired rights too much
to jeopardize them by a course that
would alarm Congress on sanitary
grounds, destroy the tourist trade of
these Islands and propagate anarchy.

The job of Secretary of the Repub-
lican Territorial Committee may be
made to conserve harmony in the party
or to promote discord, just as the Com
mittee may decide. Any factional ex-
ponent would do the party harm; any
straight Republican would be able to
do it good. On these lines the choice
ought to be an easy one.
