l.pers Of Molokai should not TO

fected people.-P. c. a.
And such is the only principle tho
Advertiser fuds to fight for in the
Father Wendelin matter. The
fact that the devoted priest has
srent fifteen years of the best part
of his life isolated at the Leper
Settlement, without complaint
having ever been made against him;
the fact that he 10 sacrifed in order
to soothe tho wounded feelings Of
Board OF Health "protege" and
dismissed official; the fact that
Father Wendelin is convicted and
sentenced when not single charge
has been brought agairst him; the
fact that the Fundamental princi-
pes of Auglo-Saxon liberty" are
trampled ia the mud by the Board
OF Health; the fact that the ma
jority of this community has al
ready stigmatized- the autocratic
proceedings OF the Board of Health;
the fact that the majority OF the
readers OF the Advertiser are against
any such abuse OF powers as claimed
by the Board Of Health; aud none
of these facts appeal to the great
champion OF Americanism in these

shared that opinion. He said it was
time for conservative, calm, diplnm

Father Valenlin made a statement
OF the status OF Father Wend lin at
the Settlement. Whan tho Sisters
were sent to the Ssttlemeot, there
was tacit underst stauding that they
were to have a chaplain appointed
by the Bishop. Another understand.

gratifying to know that the work OF

II is most pleasing to note that
the contributions towards the de-.

total Of $ll05, more than what the
Church Wardens Of the then Cathe-

sued call for only $500, but they
have received more, aud most Of the
donations have come from those
educated by the English NJ ssion,
including Iolani and St. Andrews
Pfiory, and from those in sympa-
thy with Bishop Willis work. The
INDEP ENDENT may aid suggestion
that those who feel some sympathy
and respect for His Loriship, and
as token OF farewell to him, have
yet chance TO cast in their mite TO
