THE CUBAN SITUATION

Negro Loader Juan Gomez HasGained Ascendancy in Consti- -

tutional Convention

Havana Cuba Dec29 The Con-

stitutional¬

Convention hna not beenin session for several weeks but thedifferent sections thereof are hardat work considering the plans fora constitution which have been off-

ered¬

by Seuors Rivera QuesadaMaura and others

The ohief question at issue iswhether suffrage shall be general orrestricted A strong effort is beingmade by the conservative elementto base the right to vote upon aneducational and property qualifica-tion

¬

but the more rabid element inthe convention led by JuanGualberto Gomez a negro of threequarters blood supported by GenAleman Gen Laoret Josie Monteguedo and a number of delegatesfrom the eastern part of the Ysland

is pressing hard for general citizen-ship

The radical Republican elementfavors this provision while strangeas it may appear the Cuban Nation-als

¬

heretofore the extremely radi-cal

¬

element rather lean toward re-

stricted¬

suffrage The blacks arestrong enough numerically to con-

trol¬

the government of the island ifgeneral suffrage should be estab-lished

The proposition to form a federalgovernment with six states Havana Finar del Rio Matanzss SantaClara Puerto Frinoipe and Santiagois really a fight for generaloitizenship

The United States it is olaimedby many here oannot afford to ac ¬

cept a general suffrage constitutionwith the surety that under such aplan the blacks would have control

The really dominalong spirit ofthe Constitutional Convention isthe negro Juan Gomez He iswily shrewd and able He was thedominating spirit of the old As-

sembles¬

whioh tried to deposeGen Maximo Gomez from oomjmand of the Cuban army before ithad made its triumphal entry intoHavana and having broken into theConstitutional Convention from theprovince of Puerto Frinople he hasgradually obtained hold of thereins

Gen Maximo Gomez has disap-pointed

¬

many of his friends by go ¬

ing through the ceremony in pub-lic

¬

of embracing Juan Gomez Thetwo have been sworn enemies It is

thought that Juan Gomezs powerto get n clause into the Constitu-tion

¬

that would make Gen Gomezineligible for President oaused thevenerable General to surrender tothe his old time enemy

As a result of this reconcilia-tion

¬

the Constitution will proba-bly

¬

say that anyone is eligible tothe Presidency who is a citizen atthe time of the promulgation ofthe Constitution Gen MaximoGomez will thus be made eligiblewhile Juan Gualberto Gomez maycarry his general suffrage proposition as a result of the deal

Thus the United States Govern ¬

ment will be confronted with alioate and dangerous problem

It is now thought that the con ¬

vention will resume its regular ses-

sions

¬

within a few days There is

however much wrangling in thecommittees and the resumption of business by the oouvention may be delayed till Jan 15

tillUJU vU uuuu An Important Decision

and

de

Judge Humphreys yesterday reu

dered an important oral deoision in

the case of the Territory vb Sam

Kun Lap Ohu and Tau GhonnirrrBd with nnd eonvioted of hav- -

n mMmfnno nf All Kinds Constantly on Hand otum n possession Thonuiiiuuu - in iaiiISLAND

Judge saidI The demurrer in these oases wjll

lfeu- -

rvp -

be sustained The Courfljnds thatthe law prohibiting th pnstiBsionof opium in the Hawaiinq Islandsafter the Organic Act beoanioeJIafltive to wit the 14th of June 1900

ceased to bo operative such law be ¬

ing in conflict with the Constitution of the United States and againstthe settled policy of the UnitedStates as evinced by it in placing atariff duty upon opium and permit-ting

¬

it to be brought within theconfines of the United States uponthe payment of such duty

Opposed to tho view which I ex-

press¬

is the case of the Territory ofWashington vs Ah Lim deoided in

February 1890 The case of Leisyvs Hardin was deoidod by the Su-

preme¬

Court of the United Statestwo months after the Washingtoncourt rendered its deoision So theopinion of the Supreme Court ofthe Territory of Washington maybe considered as having been over-

ruled¬

by the Supreme Coutt of theUnited States

The Court has been engrossedwith engagements that it has nothad the time to prepare a writtenopinion in this case as it would liketo have done

I Bimply state my conclusionthat the demurrer should be sus-

tained¬

the Court finding the law tobe unconstitutional

THURSDAY JAN 24 1901

THE BIEBOHANTB ASSOCIATION

So far the local Merchants Asso-

ciation¬

haB received all ponible encouragement from the communityand there are uo reasons why theorganization shod not prove verybeneficent not alono to the mercan-tile

¬

interests but to the city atlarge The following editorial re-

marks of tho S F Oall should bethoughtfully read by every citizenwho in any way can assist in further ¬

ing the- - object of our local Mer ¬

chants Association

By way of New Year greetingsthe Merchants Association Reviewpresents to the people in the Janu-ary

¬

number an earnest plea forunited aotion in all movementi tend-ing

¬

to the ndvancement of the cityIt very justly says Mere locationin the highway of commerce willnot of itaelf create a metropolisClimate and soil will not determinethe result Many of the worstailure in cities are the worlds ideal

spots some of the most successfulommunities are almost barren of

natural resources That city car-ries

¬

off the palm whose citizensseize the opportunity

The Merchants Association canwith good grace make thii plea forunity and for aotion since it hasitself practiced what it preachesand set the example it desires othersto follow The Beview states thatthere at present 2500 legitimatebusiness houses in San Franoiaooand nver half of the number havealready enrolled as members of theassociation That in itslf is arecord to be proud of It is ques-tionable

¬

whether any other largeoity in the Union has an institutiondevotdd to the service of the publicwhich has been able to draw to itsmembership bo large a proportionof the business population

The suocess which has attendedthe association is due to what ithas done for the public more thanto what it has done for its membersIt is because it has proven itselfuseful to the whole communitythat the business men of the oityhave in uuoh large numbors unitedthemselves with it and that fact iscreditable alike to the organizationas a whole and to the individualswho compose it

The suocess attained in the pastgives promise of greater successesto come More than half the busi-ness

¬

houses of the city are now al-

lied¬

with the association Whyshould not all be allied with it

--The conditions of the commercialworld at this time render it import-ant

¬

that San Francisco exert thefull force of all her enterprisingmen at this juncture The rapiditywith whioh Panifio Ocean trade isdeveloping and shaping its coursemakes this a critioal period in thehistory of the city As has beensaid by the Bewiew As certain asthe earths revolution one of theworlds erreatest cities will exist onthe Paaifio Coast Whether it willbeonFuget Sound or in Oregonor in Contral or Southern Califor-nia

¬

will depend upon the compara-tive

¬

oapaoity of the peo-ple of Seattle or Portland LosAngeles or San Francisoo to win thoprize

Here then are a great iBiue anda golden opportunity We cannotmeet the one with assurance ofvictory nor fully proflt by the otherunless there be unity of actionamong our citizens Tho men whohave upheld he Merchants Associ ¬

ation in the past should support itnow with inoroased ardor and thosewho have hitherto held aloof shouldnow unite with it and make up forformer apathy by zeal in the future

TOPICS OF THE DAY

We see no reason why any sym ¬

pathy should be wosted ou ourlocal gambling gentry if they shouldfall into the hands of sharpers Nosensible man will play cards with anutter stranger who scrapes an ac-

quaintanceship¬

in a bar room Ifho does he intends to get themoneys of tho straugerand deservesto be bitten At the same time webelieve it to be the duty of all citi ¬

zens to assist the police in riddingthe town of couGdence men andbunco steerers and then let themanipulation of cards be themonopoly of our local gamblingooterie which is unknown to thepolice

The following dispatoh showsthat California is determined to useall her influence in Congress tomake Hawaii the dumping groundfor lepers of the United States Itreads

Sacramento Jan 10 A resolution was introduced in the Senateby Senator Welch calling upon Con ¬

gress to establish on theTsland ofMolokai a settlement for all leperswho might be discovered in theterritory within the jurisdiction ofthe United States

If Delegate Wilcox succeeds indefeating any measure whioh maybe brought up in Congress in ad-

vancing¬

Californias infamous pro-position

¬

he will crown himself withglory and deserve tho thanks ofevery man woman and ohild in theterritory

It is evidentdespatches fromLord Kitchenerstrike the final blow

from the latestSouth Africa that

is preparing toat the Boers

A force of 80000 irregular cavalryis being mobilized 5000 volunteeryeomanry will leave England forSouth Africa Cape Town has beenfortified and the admiral command-ing

Mr Doles organ whioh haspreached the doctrine that the constitution does not follow the flag isjubilant over the briefs and ad ¬

dresses made bv the solicitor-genera- l

and tho attorney general of MoKinleys government before theSupreme Court It prediots thatthe decision of the highest tribunalmust necessarilly be one upholdiugthe policy of the administration andon that point it takes a very differ-ent

¬

view from that entertained by amajority of the Bepublioan pressotherwise favorable to tho adminis-tration

¬

It is acoeoded that thespeech of the solicitor generalshows that McKinley has abandon-ed

¬

his former policy in regard tothe flag and the constitution andthat the Attorney General virtuallystands isolated in his opinion thatthe government not the people isthe sovereign power by authoritygiven to it by the people Thespeeohes of Carlisle and Fred Cou- -

dert jr have made n great impres-sion

¬

and the questions put to theAttorney General and the solioitorgeneral by the justices of theSupreme Court indioate that theBench by no means has adopted theview of tho administration lawyersWe hope of course that the decisionwill be against the arbitrary unAmerican autocratio policy of theadministration If it is held thatthe constitution follows the flag anumber of our looal merchants willhave a obanoe to get large sums ofmoney refunded to them from theU S Treasury and tho PortoBicans will not have to be senthome at the expense of those whobrought them here

i i vfK i

Mr George Gear does not roportprogress in hiB fight for the un ¬

seating of Wilcox We were

shocked to learn that Haywood is

working harmoniously with Loebenstoins antagonist and that H PBaldwin called on tho notoriousbigamist The latter fact ought tomake a ohango in Kopoikais Wilcoxian policy

The decision of Judge Humphreysdeclaring the present opium lawsunconstitutional did not surpriseanyone who had given a thought tothe question When the Chinesewho appealed to the Circuit Courtappeared in the Distrjot Court At ¬

torney Brooks representing themadmitted that they had opium inpossession but asked for their dis-

missal

¬

as the law was unconstitutional Judge Wilcox intimatedthat he fully agreed wthtbo attorn-ey

¬

but said that it was not withinthe province of a District Magistrate to decide questions of theconstitutionality of a law Hetherefore imposed the minimum fineexpressing the hope that the oaseswould be appealed to the higherCourts The decision will have farreaching results The law will nolonger prohibit a man from havingopium in posooBBion or from usingit As to selling it we presume thathe can do so when complying withthe demands of the Internal Reve-nue

¬

office The Legislature mightmake a law prohibiting the sale ofopium or allowing under a licensethe fee for whioh couldbe made so that the salebe prohibitory but such a stepwould be useless as long as the lawcannot prevent a man from havingopium in possession or from smok-ing

tion and upset the American Republio which makes our holy terri

What tho good men who were op-

posed

¬

to the opium mostly regret ¬

ted then and they do now is thattho career of tho opium smugglerand dealer is at an end and no morefortunes can be made by our right ¬

eous oitizens in dope By thoway what a season of leisure is nowin Btore for the evor vigilant DeputyHigh Sheriff and his army of in ¬

formers

Mr O B Beynolds explained thecharges made against him by Am-

brose

¬

Hutchison to the full satisfac ¬

tion of the Board of Health andthe incident in closed The defenseof Mr Reynolds who it is claimedallowed a boats crew of healthysailors to drink coffee in a lepershop at Ealaupapa is that he didnot know anything about it until hesaw the men coming out from theshop that Hutchison is no goodanyhow and that the great agent atthe time was wet himself and hadgone for dry clothes and whiskeyThe abusing of Hutohison has al-

ways¬

been the mode of defense ofthe Board of Health and the agentsin charge of the Settlement It is

fortunate for the lepers that theyhive among them a fearless manwith the intelligence of AmbroseHutchison Bavaged as his body isthrough the effects of the scourgehis mind is clear and will not toler-ate

¬

any infringement on the rightsof the lepers nor any neglect andindifference on the part of those incharge Why should thore bo ascarcity of poi at the SettlementThe Government owns vast landsand it should for years back havecultivated its own taro in sufficientquantity to supply the public insti-tutions

¬

where poi is demanded TheGovernment would not lose a centby producing its own taro It couldpay ordinary wages to the menworking the fields it could have thelands free of charge and asking for

no profits it would make a big Bay ¬

ing on the sums now paid to poicontractors The Representatives i

elect are uot permitted to visit theiryconstituents before the Legislaturemoots We can well understand thereason why The authorities preferto have tho Settlement under per ¬

manent star ohamber rules but thoend of the power of the Board ofHealth is near It is the duty ofthe Legislature to reconstruct thoBoard of Health in a radioal man-

ner

¬

Its usurped powors must boshorn and tho Board taught its pro ¬

per place A layman an honest in ¬

telligent business man should beat the head of tho Board and if ouoor two doctors Bhould bo appointedto sorve as members of the Boardthey should mainly be there as ad-

visors¬

when purely medical ques-tions

¬

should arise But first andforemost we hope that Mr Beokleyand his colleagues will endeavor totake the Leper Settlement out ofthe control of the Board of Healthand make it a special bureau directunder the Superintendent of Pub- -

i

lie Works Tho administration of ttho Settlement is simply a matter ofplain business and should havenothing to do with tho Board ofHealth The Superintendent ofPublic Works will have ample timeto attend to the Settlement afterHonolulu becomes a municipalityaud the roads water works sewer¬

age etc will no longer be underthe Superintendent of PublicWorks We have uo doubt thatunder such a change evorythingwill run smoothly and give bet-tor

¬

satisfaction to tho lepers aswell as to all concerned Weregret to see Attorney General Doleusing an expression to the effectthat if we cant furnish the leperswith poi they will have to take thonext best Suoh remarks are notconducive to making mattersharmonious and may lead the Legis ¬

lature to answer if tho governmentcannot take care of our lepers in aproper manner we will do the nextbest by repealing tho segregationlaw

THE CUBAN SITUATION

Negro Loader Juan Gomez HasGained Ascendancy in Consti- -

tutional Convention

Havana Cuba Dec29 The Con-

stitutional¬

Convention hna not beenin session for several weeks but thedifferent sections thereof are hardat work considering the plans fora constitution which have been off-

ered¬

by Seuors Rivera QuesadaMaura and others

The ohief question at issue iswhether suffrage shall be general orrestricted A strong effort is beingmade by the conservative elementto base the right to vote upon aneducational and property qualifica-tion

¬

but the more rabid element inthe convention led by JuanGualberto Gomez a negro of threequarters blood supported by GenAleman Gen Laoret Josie Monteguedo and a number of delegatesfrom the eastern part of the Ysland

is pressing hard for general citizen-ship

The radical Republican elementfavors this provision while strangeas it may appear the Cuban Nation-als

¬

heretofore the extremely radi-cal

¬

element rather lean toward re-

stricted¬

suffrage The blacks arestrong enough numerically to con-

trol¬

the government of the island ifgeneral suffrage should be estab-lished

The proposition to form a federalgovernment with six states Havana Finar del Rio Matanzss SantaClara Puerto Frinoipe and Santiagois really a fight for generaloitizenship

The United States it is olaimedby many here oannot afford to ac ¬

cept a general suffrage constitutionwith the surety that under such aplan the blacks would have control

The really dominalong spirit ofthe Constitutional Convention isthe negro Juan Gomez He iswily shrewd and able He was thedominating spirit of the old As-

sembles¬

whioh tried to deposeGen Maximo Gomez from oomjmand of the Cuban army before ithad made its triumphal entry intoHavana and having broken into theConstitutional Convention from theprovince of Puerto Frinople he hasgradually obtained hold of thereins

Gen Maximo Gomez has disap-pointed

¬

many of his friends by go ¬

ing through the ceremony in pub-lic

¬

of embracing Juan Gomez Thetwo have been sworn enemies It is

thought that Juan Gomezs powerto get n clause into the Constitu-tion

¬

that would make Gen Gomezineligible for President oaused thevenerable General to surrender tothe his old time enemy

As a result of this reconcilia-tion

¬

the Constitution will proba-bly

¬

say that anyone is eligible tothe Presidency who is a citizen atthe time of the promulgation ofthe Constitution Gen MaximoGomez will thus be made eligiblewhile Juan Gualberto Gomez maycarry his general suffrage proposition as a result of the deal

Thus the United States Govern ¬

ment will be confronted with alioate and dangerous problem

It is now thought that the con ¬

vention will resume its regular ses-

sions

¬

within a few days There is

however much wrangling in thecommittees and the resumption of business by the oouvention may be delayed till Jan 15

and

de

Judge Humphreys yesterday reu

dered an important oral deoision in

the case of the Territory vb Sam

Kun Lap Ohu and Tau GhonnirrrBd with nnd eonvioted of hav- -

n mMmfnno nf All Kinds Constantly on Hand otum n possession Thonuiiiuuu - in iaiiISLAND

Judge saidI The demurrer in these oases wjll

lfeu- -

rvp -

be sustained The Courfljnds thatthe law prohibiting th pnstiBsionof opium in the Hawaiinq Islandsafter the Organic Act beoanioeJIafltive to wit the 14th of June 1900

ceased to bo operative such law be ¬

ing in conflict with the Constitution of the United States and againstthe settled policy of the UnitedStates as evinced by it in placing atariff duty upon opium and permit-ting

¬

it to be brought within theconfines of the United States uponthe payment of such duty

Opposed to tho view which I ex-

press¬

is the case of the Territory ofWashington vs Ah Lim deoided in

February 1890 The case of Leisyvs Hardin was deoidod by the Su-

preme¬

Court of the United Statestwo months after the Washingtoncourt rendered its deoision So theopinion of the Supreme Court ofthe Territory of Washington maybe considered as having been over-

ruled¬

by the Supreme Coutt of theUnited States

The Court has been engrossedwith engagements that it has nothad the time to prepare a writtenopinion in this case as it would liketo have done

I Bimply state my conclusionthat the demurrer should be sus-

tained¬

the Court finding the law tobe unconstitutional

THURSDAY JAN 24 1901

THE BIEBOHANTB ASSOCIATION

So far the local Merchants Asso-

ciation¬

haB received all ponible encouragement from the communityand there are uo reasons why theorganization shod not prove verybeneficent not alono to the mercan-tile

¬

interests but to the city atlarge The following editorial re-

marks of tho S F Oall should bethoughtfully read by every citizenwho in any way can assist in further ¬

ing the- - object of our local Mer ¬

chants Association

By way of New Year greetingsthe Merchants Association Reviewpresents to the people in the Janu-ary

¬

number an earnest plea forunited aotion in all movementi tend-ing

¬

to the ndvancement of the cityIt very justly says Mere locationin the highway of commerce willnot of itaelf create a metropolisClimate and soil will not determinethe result Many of the worstailure in cities are the worlds ideal

spots some of the most successfulommunities are almost barren of

natural resources That city car-ries

¬

off the palm whose citizensseize the opportunity

The Merchants Association canwith good grace make thii plea forunity and for aotion since it hasitself practiced what it preachesand set the example it desires othersto follow The Beview states thatthere at present 2500 legitimatebusiness houses in San Franoiaooand nver half of the number havealready enrolled as members of theassociation That in itslf is arecord to be proud of It is ques-tionable

¬

whether any other largeoity in the Union has an institutiondevotdd to the service of the publicwhich has been able to draw to itsmembership bo large a proportionof the business population

The suocess which has attendedthe association is due to what ithas done for the public more thanto what it has done for its membersIt is because it has proven itselfuseful to the whole communitythat the business men of the oityhave in uuoh large numbors unitedthemselves with it and that fact iscreditable alike to the organizationas a whole and to the individualswho compose it

The suocess attained in the pastgives promise of greater successesto come More than half the busi-ness

¬

houses of the city are now al-

lied¬

with the association Whyshould not all be allied with it

--The conditions of the commercialworld at this time render it import-ant

¬

that San Francisco exert thefull force of all her enterprisingmen at this juncture The rapiditywith whioh Panifio Ocean trade isdeveloping and shaping its coursemakes this a critioal period in thehistory of the city As has beensaid by the Bewiew As certain asthe earths revolution one of theworlds erreatest cities will exist onthe Paaifio Coast Whether it willbeonFuget Sound or in Oregonor in Contral or Southern Califor-nia

¬

will depend upon the compara-tive

¬

oapaoity of the peo-ple of Seattle or Portland LosAngeles or San Francisoo to win thoprize

Here then are a great iBiue anda golden opportunity We cannotmeet the one with assurance ofvictory nor fully proflt by the otherunless there be unity of actionamong our citizens Tho men whohave upheld he Merchants Associ ¬

ation in the past should support itnow with inoroased ardor and thosewho have hitherto held aloof shouldnow unite with it and make up forformer apathy by zeal in the future

TOPICS OF THE DAY

We see no reason why any sym ¬

pathy should be wosted ou ourlocal gambling gentry if they shouldfall into the hands of sharpers Nosensible man will play cards with anutter stranger who scrapes an ac-

quaintanceship¬

in a bar room Ifho does he intends to get themoneys of tho straugerand deservesto be bitten At the same time webelieve it to be the duty of all citi ¬

zens to assist the police in riddingthe town of couGdence men andbunco steerers and then let themanipulation of cards be themonopoly of our local gamblingooterie which is unknown to thepolice

The following dispatoh showsthat California is determined to useall her influence in Congress tomake Hawaii the dumping groundfor lepers of the United States Itreads

Sacramento Jan 10 A resolution was introduced in the Senateby Senator Welch calling upon Con ¬

gress to establish on theTsland ofMolokai a settlement for all leperswho might be discovered in theterritory within the jurisdiction ofthe United States

If Delegate Wilcox succeeds indefeating any measure whioh maybe brought up in Congress in ad-

vancing¬

Californias infamous pro-position

¬

he will crown himself withglory and deserve tho thanks ofevery man woman and ohild in theterritory

It is evidentdespatches fromLord Kitchenerstrike the final blow

from the latestSouth Africa that

is preparing toat the Boers

A force of 80000 irregular cavalryis being mobilized 5000 volunteeryeomanry will leave England forSouth Africa Cape Town has beenfortified and the admiral command-ing

¬

the Cape fleet is prepared toland forces and artillery All therailroads fromDelagoa to the Capeare in running order and under theabsolute control of the British TbemoBt influential Boers are urgingthe Steyu De Wett faction to aooept terms of peace and bow to theinevitable and tho end of the warcan now be seen The outlook for aspeedy determination of the warhas never been so promising and itcan be hoped with reason thatnormal conditions will soon prevailin South Africa

Mr Doles organ whioh haspreached the doctrine that the constitution does not follow the flag isjubilant over the briefs and ad ¬

dresses made bv the solicitor-genera- l

and tho attorney general of MoKinleys government before theSupreme Court It prediots thatthe decision of the highest tribunalmust necessarilly be one upholdiugthe policy of the administration andon that point it takes a very differ-ent

¬

view from that entertained by amajority of the Bepublioan pressotherwise favorable to tho adminis-tration

¬

It is acoeoded that thespeech of the solicitor generalshows that McKinley has abandon-ed

¬

his former policy in regard tothe flag and the constitution andthat the Attorney General virtuallystands isolated in his opinion thatthe government not the people isthe sovereign power by authoritygiven to it by the people Thespeeohes of Carlisle and Fred Cou- -

dert jr have made n great impres-sion

¬

and the questions put to theAttorney General and the solioitorgeneral by the justices of theSupreme Court indioate that theBench by no means has adopted theview of tho administration lawyersWe hope of course that the decisionwill be against the arbitrary unAmerican autocratio policy of theadministration If it is held thatthe constitution follows the flag anumber of our looal merchants willhave a obanoe to get large sums ofmoney refunded to them from theU S Treasury and tho PortoBicans will not have to be senthome at the expense of those whobrought them here

i i vfK i

Mr George Gear does not roportprogress in hiB fight for the un ¬

seating of Wilcox We were

shocked to learn that Haywood is

working harmoniously with Loebenstoins antagonist and that H PBaldwin called on tho notoriousbigamist The latter fact ought tomake a ohango in Kopoikais Wilcoxian policy

The decision of Judge Humphreysdeclaring the present opium lawsunconstitutional did not surpriseanyone who had given a thought tothe question When the Chinesewho appealed to the Circuit Courtappeared in the Distrjot Court At ¬

torney Brooks representing themadmitted that they had opium inpossession but asked for their dis-

missal

¬

as the law was unconstitutional Judge Wilcox intimatedthat he fully agreed wthtbo attorn-ey

¬

but said that it was not withinthe province of a District Magistrate to decide questions of theconstitutionality of a law Hetherefore imposed the minimum fineexpressing the hope that the oaseswould be appealed to the higherCourts The decision will have farreaching results The law will nolonger prohibit a man from havingopium in posooBBion or from usingit As to selling it we presume thathe can do so when complying withthe demands of the Internal Reve-nue

¬

office The Legislature mightmake a law prohibiting the sale ofopium or allowing under a licensethe fee for whioh couldbe made so that the salebe prohibitory but such a stepwould be useless as long as the lawcannot prevent a man from havingopium in possession or from smok-ing

¬

it The men who overturnedthe monarchy under the pretensethat they could uot tolerate theopium license should now take ac ¬

tion and upset the American Republio which makes our holy terri

T ii

i jm

tory wido open to opium fiends

What tho good men who were op-

posed

¬

to the opium mostly regret ¬

ted then and they do now is thattho career of tho opium smugglerand dealer is at an end and no morefortunes can be made by our right ¬

eous oitizens in dope By thoway what a season of leisure is nowin Btore for the evor vigilant DeputyHigh Sheriff and his army of in ¬

formers

Mr O B Beynolds explained thecharges made against him by Am-

brose

¬

Hutchison to the full satisfac ¬

tion of the Board of Health andthe incident in closed The defenseof Mr Reynolds who it is claimedallowed a boats crew of healthysailors to drink coffee in a lepershop at Ealaupapa is that he didnot know anything about it until hesaw the men coming out from theshop that Hutchison is no goodanyhow and that the great agent atthe time was wet himself and hadgone for dry clothes and whiskeyThe abusing of Hutohison has al-

ways¬

been the mode of defense ofthe Board of Health and the agentsin charge of the Settlement It is

fortunate for the lepers that theyhive among them a fearless manwith the intelligence of AmbroseHutchison Bavaged as his body isthrough the effects of the scourgehis mind is clear and will not toler-ate

¬

any infringement on the rightsof the lepers nor any neglect andindifference on the part of those incharge Why should thore bo ascarcity of poi at the SettlementThe Government owns vast landsand it should for years back havecultivated its own taro in sufficientquantity to supply the public insti-tutions

¬

where poi is demanded TheGovernment would not lose a centby producing its own taro It couldpay ordinary wages to the menworking the fields it could have thelands free of charge and asking for

no profits it would make a big Bay ¬

ing on the sums now paid to poicontractors The Representatives i

elect are uot permitted to visit theiryconstituents before the Legislaturemoots We can well understand thereason why The authorities preferto have tho Settlement under per ¬

manent star ohamber rules but thoend of the power of the Board ofHealth is near It is the duty ofthe Legislature to reconstruct thoBoard of Health in a radioal man-

ner

¬

Its usurped powors must boshorn and tho Board taught its pro ¬

per place A layman an honest in ¬

telligent business man should beat the head of tho Board and if ouoor two doctors Bhould bo appointedto sorve as members of the Boardthey should mainly be there as ad-

visors¬

when purely medical ques-tions

should arise But first andforemost we hope that Mr Beokleyand his colleagues will endeavor totake the Leper Settlement out ofthe control of the Board of Healthand make it a special bureau directunder the Superintendent of Pub- -

i

lie Works Tho administration of ttho Settlement is simply a matter ofplain business and should havenothing to do with tho Board ofHealth The Superintendent ofPublic Works will have ample timeto attend to the Settlement afterHonolulu becomes a municipalityaud the roads water works sewer¬

age etc will no longer be underthe Superintendent of PublicWorks We have uo doubt thatunder such a change evorythingwill run smoothly and give bet-tor

¬

satisfaction to tho lepers aswell as to all concerned Weregret to see Attorney General Doleusing an expression to the effectthat if we cant furnish the leperswith poi they will have to take thonext best Suoh remarks are notconducive to making mattersharmonious and may lead the Legis ¬

lature to answer if tho governmentcannot take care of our lepers in aproper manner we will do the nextbest by repealing tho segregationlaw
