'NON-DISEASED INMATES.

Now that the Board OF Health
has decided, so tits reported, to re.
move from the Molokai Settlement
certain we'll persons who have made
tbemselves obnoxious and most OBJ
jectionsble aud who originally went
there as assistants (kokuas) to their
diseased and helpless husbands,
wives, parents, children or friends,
aud among them some who are now
( declared not to be diseased nor are
IN the least tainted, but who were
originally condemned as diseased to
that living grave or earthly hell.
Some OF these people have become
attached to that place, oil their TO-
terest being centred there. and now
they are to be renloved,uot knowing
where 10 go to and where to earn
precarious living. In our opinion,
the Government should first provide
them with work before making a
wholesale removal, as some OF them
may have to sacrifice all that they
have in the Settlement before leav.

Hawaiians have claimed, and
rightly too, we believe, that many
are condemned to that diving
death" on the merest pretense. The
suspect" law cams in very handy
as a means of ridding any one show
ing the least sign OF suspicion by
giving Information, generally
through spite, ill feeling and Iea-
lousy, with political animosity
wruug in. Many were no doubt
sent there without the least sign Of
the disease, but on the condemna-
tion of medical examiners they had
to go to their Giving DEATH" on
whose dictum they have no means
whatever of redress. But what
could the masses dot The msdicos
had the upperhand end were deem
ed infallible, that is, they were not
liable to err. What they said was
law and there was no denying their
prejudiced judgments, in many in
stances.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-07-24

Yet again, there is another phase
which is a theory about to be e1-
ploded in this proposed deporta-
tion. For years, any one suspected
OF having the disease was, after a
medical examination had been
made by board OF examiners from
whose decision there is no appeal"
.deported to that shell hole on
earth" and rightly and properly
called by Hawaiisus ''the land Of
suffering" and "the living dumping
ground OF death" where all meet
death W While still in the land OF the
living. It is veritable "hellon
earth," 80 to speak. and a sure
"living DEATH" for once one enters
there, there is no RETURNING; but
there one fingers without any at
tempt whatever being made to treat
the disease till "death claims its
own"

the people of the two cities should
be. the ones consulted and they
alone should know what was best.
"You ask me whether 1 have
devised any scheme by which the
evil could be remedied; we'll, l want
to say that have not had time to
give 1t much thought but 1 intend
to do so in the near future and If
we have a special session this fall I
will attempt to have the Governor
put that matter In the call.
I am real glad that the
Review has started the good WORK
and am sure 1t swill .redown to
much good when the members
fully understand The situation. l
am greatly In favor of general
law by which cities shall be divided
into different classes according to
the population aud that complete
charter be prepared for each class
Then there will be no political or
personal fights as we have Seen in
the past. There will be no special
privileges or laws enacted and 1t
will morn the entire abrogation OF
what is known as special legislation
and the absence from the capitol OF
unscrupulous lobbyists. The bill
should be drawn in such a way
that where certain cities or towns
In different parts of the State had
different interests, such legislation
as would make certain things elec.
tive In those cities or towns could
easily be secured. I have always
held the opinion that In the matter
of granting licenses and franchises
the people should be consulted at
the polls and a sjorlty should
rule, Then towns that wanted GER
tain measures could have them,
those that did not would not be
bothered with them.
'Now,I want to say in conclusion,
that the members of the present
Legislature are fair and sensible
and am confident If this matter is
put before them in the shape of a
satisfactory bill 1t will meet with
their approval and become a law;
thus as your journal has suggested
save to the State large sum of
money and a useless waste of time
at each session. Therefore, en-.
dorse your remedy and will lend all
aid in my power for the betterment
of our laws and the upbuilding OF
the interests Of the State, and l
truly hope you may through your
coed Offices secure the, assistance
of the entire press aud the consent
of each member of the Legislature
personally"

something like twenty or more
charter bills before us and some OF
them very important to the peopie

confident that at least two weeks
