Not lung before his death, the eminent Dr. Morell Mackenzie denounced the London College of Physicians and Surgeons for having declared leprosy not to be contagious. He charged them with having become the active cause of ■ recent great diffusion of leprosy, especially in the British colonies, by inducing a general relaxation of efforts to segregate the lepers. Hawaii is now dangerously threatened with a like evil, through the manifesto of a leading physician of Honolulu, who declares hinself convinced that leprosyis hut slightly contagious, and segregation needless. Long doubtful, he has become fully converted by a Report of an Indian Leprosy Commission. To older residents in Hawaii who persona ly witnessed the dissemination of this loathsome disease among the native people from its first appearance in the Islands, the conclusions arrived at by this Indian Commission seem prepos ' vis and eminently pernicious. The Editor of Thi Friend personally observed the process of dissemination in Lahaina from 40 to 30 years ago. The very first case in these Islands was a 57 Number 8. chief in Premier Auhea's household, who has prevailed for many thousand years, had been abroad, where he contracted so that most of the people inherit imleprosy.

It is six years since we last crossed the Pacific, nor should we be taking the; long journey if considerations of education and health did not required. In that period of time great changes have come to the Pacific coast of the United States, to the Hawaiian Islands, and even to China. The great missionary Conference in Shanghai in 1890, was the indirect means of great expansion in the ranks of missionary workers. While it is not likely that a thousand will have been added within five years—as asked for the attention of all the leading societies has been called in a forcible manner to the needs and difficult}' ofthe field. As heretofore, the greatest increase has been in the ranks of the China Inland Mission, which is now a vast network Mr. Neumann's Manifesto. to the outermost bounds of the Empire and doing a most useful preparatory Mr. Paul Neumann was in February work.

All this would have been taken at. once for mere vaporing, only that Mr. Neumann is not wont to expend his breath or ink without some practical object, at least to gain a fee thereby. No notice of Mr. Neumann's letter has been taken by Mr. Dole, nor has much comment been offered upon it by the daily papers. Neither has Mr. Neumann as yet followed up the impression made by farther manifesto or other action, so that the public is still in the dark as to the plan of campaign of which this declaration may have formed the beginning. It seems most probable that with the ignominious collapse of the dynamite conspiracy, and the retirement of Mr. Spreckels from the scene of political activity here, Mr. Neumann does not find the conditions propitious for a further movement upon the enemy. As, however, Mr. Spreckels is understood to be on his way to Washington, whither the contention over Hawaiian issues seems again about to be transferred, it remains to be seen what method of attack he may there pursue. The Provisional Government in the meantime have met Mr. Neumann's demand for positive action in a different way, The cause of delay having been removed lis Mr. Blount having completed his important mission of inquiry, the Government have hastened to prepare for a resumption of negotiations for Annexation by sending forward Prof. Alexander to assist Minister Thurston therein. It may be remarked that the official submission of any public question to a plebiscitum of the Hawaiian people would be an entirely novel proceeding. Their native rulers reluctantly gave them only a very limited voice in the Legislature. The)' have never possessed the power to elect more than one half of the members of that body, nor has it ever been deemed safe to entrust them with a larger share of political power. No suggestion of a plebiscitum appears to have emanated from Washington at any time.

' It is perhaps not strange, yet deeply to be regretted that general public sentiment among the native Hawaiians is opposed to the segregation of the lepers, and tends to sympathize with their resistance to arrest. This feeling, in which theirnative sovereigns have somewhat participated, has always stood in the way of thoroughly carrying out segregation. As the consequence, the progress of infection among the people has never been effectually arrested, and there is no doubt that thousands of new cases of leprosy have occurred, which thor ough segregation for the pas' twenty years would have prevented. the arrest of all the lepers at Kalalau, except Koolau. The latter was brought to bay upon a ledge high up on a precipice, and protected by dense thicket and forest. In two attacks made upon his stronghold, on successive days, he shot the leading soldier.

American Interests in Hawaii. Minister of Finance Damon has pub lished statistics showing that the investments in Hawaii in incorporated and business firms amount to 37 millions of dollars -in a total property value of over 50 millions. Of the 37 millions, the Americans including those born here, own over 26 millions, or 70 per cent. All whites together own ( .»7'.. percent ofthe property of the business firms and corporations. Natives and half-castes own barely half a million of these business interests, Asiatics representing the balance. Of non-commercial property such as land and dwellings, undoubtedly natives own a respectable proportion. There is a considerable number of mechanics among them. From the enormous predominance of white property and business interests in Hawaii, it will easily be understood that whatever claim the native may have in justice to govern the country as he has done in the past, it is the inevitable tendency that the white man should take the conduct of public affairs into his own hands. The best class of natives recognize tiiis inevitable necessity and are wise enough to cooperate with it. The more ignorant or headstrong recalcitrate and seek to assert the prerogative of the native and his chiefs. It was the misfortune of the ex-queen, that she was unable to recognize the necessity of ruling under white guidance, but was determined to be supreme at any cost. Otherwise she might have continued to reign undisturbed. It is obvious that the participation of the natives in the government of the country will be much more favored under the United States laws than it can well be under an independent republic. Forest Denudation. Commissioner Marsden, of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, makes an important report upon the drying up of the formerly very moist district of Hamakua, Hawaii, in consequence ofthe denudation of the ancient forest by sheep and cattle. He proposes active measures already being concerted, for the government and the planters to protect the remaining forest as well as portions of the denuded lands on which the bush will naturally grow again. We well remember when in 1836, Waimea plains were largely covered with a low forest, while a great belt of heavy woods covered the slopes to the eastward. The road to Waipio through this belt was a very difficult one by reason of deep mud and heavy jungle. �60 THE FRIEND. Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde An Alleged "Murder Society." Writes from Ware under date of June 22nd. His letter is a varied one. Experiences on the Canadian Pacific route were delightful, exceeding anticipations. In Puget Sound "the morning sail towards the towering ice peaks was like journeying towards the pearly gates of purity and peace." The scenery of the Canyon of Frazer River most sublime. "The day at Banff Hot Springs was one long to be remembered." At Chicago "was most impressed by the ride in the Electric Launch around the Lagoon and Basin, getting a view from the water of all the Exhibition Buildings." He great ly admired the preaching of Mr. Hillis of the Presbyterian Church. "Coming on to Ware, found the heat reaching On the departure of Mr. Clans Spreckels from Honolulu, a cane was presented him upon the handle of which was inscribed these among other words, "Doomed to die by the Murder Society of the Annexation Club." How serious the author of that inscription was, is not curtain. He has since stated that it was "a grim joke." As circumstances have given this 'joke" an exceptional notoriety, we deem it necessary to notice the very severe accusation made. The Honolulu correspondent of the Associated Press reported to the American papers that on the discovery of the dynamite conspiracy oi the royalists, certain members of the Annexation Club had organized with the agreement that in case ofthe royalist plan being carried out, they would kill certain leading royalists, a list of whose names was given. The receipt of this report here, was a great surprise to all parties. It is entirely certain that the officers ofthe Annexation Club knew nothing ol the matter. It also appears to be certain that no organization of the sort alleged ever existed. There was probably some wild talk among the volunteeis who were called out on active guard'and patrol duty Such talk always occurs in such times of excitement. There seems no reason to believe that any organization was formed. The ill founded report however was eagerly laid hold of and embodied in the inscription upon the cane, attended by circumstances on which it is at present premature to comment. The Revolution in our Government has been attended by no serious public disorder or injury to lif or property. The record of our community has been in the highest degree creditable, and will doubtless continue so. Hawaiian Commissioner Alexander. The Provisional Government have appointed Professor W. D. Alexander as their Commissioner to assist Minister Thurston at Washington in farther negotiations for a treaty of annexation to the United States. Mr. Alexander took passage on the S. S. Monowai July 28th. It is considered probable that President Cleveland's administration having received Mr. Blount's report, will now take up the subject for consideration and action. It is understood that intimations to that effect have been received by Mr. Thurston, and the government are very hopeful of a favorable result. Mr. Alexander's most conspicuous qualifications for this service, are his very high personal characterand intelligence, and hisspecial knowledge as an expert in the social and political history of the Hawaiian Islands. He is the author of the standard History of Hawaii, containing theresults of great original research. For some years he has been the Acting President of the Board of Education, and greatly relied upon in the Councils of the government. Prof. Alexander several years ago, attended the Meridian Conferenceat Washington as Commissioner from Hawaii. 96°."

Postal Savings Bank, and Financial Confidence. This institution in Honolulu is probably the most noticeable measure ol public confidence in the Government. During the (Queen's resistance to the Legislature last Autumn, the withdrawals of deposits were so large as to greatly embarrass the Treason. This distrust was arrested by the appointment of the Wilcox-Jones cabinet. No in crease of withdrawals followed the revo lution of January. Subsequent events have, however, served to prevent a full restoration of confidence until this past month when.the evidences of the strength of th« government have grown so manifest that a rapid increase of deposits is going on. This is bringing needed relief to the Treasury, and sets free funds required for public works. �Vol. 51, No. B.] 61 THE ERIEND. Minister Blount examines Pearl Harbor. Sunday Attendance at the Fair. Six Months Old. On Saturday, July 23d, a party, consisting of Ministei Blount, Captain Nelson of the U. S. S. Adams, President Dole, Chief Justice Judd, Hon. W. P. Allen, P. C. Jones, Mr. Wright and Secretary Ellis Mills left the wharf in the yacht Hawaii under the command of Luther Wilcox for Pearl Harbor. The lines were cast off at 9:15 a. m. and the party arrived at Puuloa at 10:45 a. m. after a pleasant run over. After arrival at the future United States naval station the party sailed up the west loch to shoal water, and returning, proceeded to the peninsula wharf, where a landing was made for luncheon. After the inner man had been satisfied the party again boarded the yacht and sailed entirely around Ford's island, and reluming again, touched at the Peninsula wharf, where Minister Blount, Cap tain Nelson, Hon. \Y. !•'. Allen and Mr. P. ('. Jones were landed to visit the Ewa mill and return to Honolulu by rail. The remainder of the party returned by An unexpected result has followed the final determination of the directors of the Chicago World's Pair to keep their exposition open on Sunday. After the long and severe contest seemed to have been decided against those who desired to maintain the old and honorable American practice of Sabbath observance, a complete and ignominious defeat fell upon the directors, by no human devising. "Before they tried the experiment of opening the Fair on Sunday, they insisted that it would be the great clay for the people to attend, and we confess we believed as they. After an experiment of several weeks, the attendance has shown that the people really were not of the mind the directors supposed they were. The attendance on Sunday has been less, right along, than on other days of the week. Sunday, the 12th, the attendance was 71,21:!, against 7., 889 the Saturday before, and 77,11 Iti the Monday following. On Sunday, the IKth, it" was 59,900, against 148,994 the Saturday previous, and 85,29 l the Monday following. Last Sunday it wos 62,-028, against 125,8J0 the Saturday previous, and 91,160 yesterday." The result is that the Pair can be kept open on Sunday only at a loss, and the directors are obliged to close the gates. This is a practical demonstration of the honor in which the American people hold the Sabbath. It is a silent victory of great power. On the 17th of July the Provisional Government completed the first six months of its existence. Said the Star: "In the six months past it has maintained order, strengthened the national finances, suppressed an incipient conspiracy, secured complete recognition at the hands of the United States and overcome a powerful moneyed opposition. Duiing that time the gravest predictions have been made here and in San Francisco of its immediate collapse and downfall, but all of them have come to nothing. At least twenty separate dates have been made for the restoration of the ex Cjueen, but each of them has borne Dead Sea fruit. Every week and every month has added to the self reliance of the powers that be, and made them more confident of final success." This appears to us a substantially correct statement. Even the two weeks since the above was published, have witnessed a very marked increase in the strength of the government, and in the manifest discouragement of their opponents. The political sky is apparently clearing up, and a better day seems to be opening upon Hawaii. sea. Mr. Blount was surprised to find on entering the harbor from the sea, that he had previously gained no proper idea of its interesting and important features by merely skirting its upper shores on the railway. The Minister made the occasion one of active investigation, as well as of the recreation originally intended. An excellent map was constantly consulted, which showed the careful soundings taken by U. S. naval officers, and verifying soundings were taken at interesting points, such as the N. W. angle of Ford's Island, where a battleship might lie up to the coral cliff, and run a plank ashore. Especially interesting was the proposed site for batteries at the end of Waipio peninsula completely enfilading the three miles of channel out to the bar. The Minister expressed himself as much impressed with the beauty of the uplands to the north and east of Pearl Lochs, and with their evident promise of future farms and homes for a prosperous agricultural population. Those also could not be well observed from the railway. Mr Blount showed himself to be a keen and alert observer of outward nature, and as active and incisive an asker of questions outdoors, as he has come to be so well known to be indoors. If the Minister makes as favorable report of us in other respects as he seems likely to do of Pearl Harbor and its surroundings, we shall be well satis- fied. The War in Samoa. The Monowai brought news from Samoa, of fighting on July Nth between the forces of king Malietoa, and those of his rival Mataafa, resulting in the total defeat of the latter, and his retreat on board the British war ship Katooinbu. Everything was quiet on Apia when the Monowai left. It is evident that no satisfactory or permanent adjustment has yet been accomplished of the relations of the natives and the foreigners, who are largely Ger mans. A government by British author ity would be acceptable to the natives, as their religion and civilization have come from England. The same would clearly be the best for all concerned. Neither independence or a joint protectorate is practicable. The case has strong analogies to that of Hawaii. Hon. J. O. Carter has resigned his position as a member of the Board of Health. As one of the ablest, most experienced and most efficient members, the loss of his services upon the Board is greatly to be regretted. The Rev. William B. Oleson Visited Boston early in June. The leading Boston dailies, the Journal, Herald, Globe, and Transcript, publish long interviews with Mr. Oleson, who reported the true condition of political affairs in Hawaii with great force and accuracy. He is doing admirable service, especially in refuting Nordhoffs abominable falsehoods. Trade With North-West Coast. The C. A. Steamer Mioweia took from Honolulu August Ist 3700 bunches and crates of bananas, consigned chiefly to Seattle. This fact indicates the immense opening on the North-west Coa,st for the sale of our fruits. In California our pines and bananas encounter a severe competition from those of Mexico and even the West Indies, which are brought up by the Southern Pacific. The upwards of 1000 miles farther transportation to Puget Sound from San Francisco gives the advantage to Hawaii in supplying that region, as the distance thither is not materially greater than to San Francisco. The C. &A. steamer moreover, are provided with cold-storage rooms which give an immense advantage for the transportation of perishable fruits. It seems certain that a large and growing trade of a most profitable nature is now being initiated between Hawaii, and the great states of Oregon and Washington, with British Columbia added. Large amounts of our rice and sugars will also go direct to the Northwest Coast instead of going by. way of San Francisco. �62 [Augst, 1893. THE FRIEND. RECORD OF EVENTS. July 2nd.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. Three of the senior students of the North Pacific Missionary Institute are at work in the field. Two are on Maui, Kama being at Haiku, and Kawaiaea at Kipahulu, while Isaia is at Milolii, Hawaii. Of the other two, Solomona is at his home on Kauai with his family, and Aiu is working in this city. Mr. Okabe writes from Hilo, July 27th, 'T have heard from Dr. Mori of Kohala, that they are ready to pay for a Japanese preacher. He desires to have an educatedperson because plantationswant to have him interpret for them once in a while. I think we had better send Ishikawa there, if he comes. I must work hard to raise $100 and get a printing press from Japan and start a paper in Honolulu. I am just at present planning to start a library in Honomu and two reading rooms at Wainaku Plantation. I hope all other plantations will follow the example." Though this is a time when it would seem hard for some of our good Hawaiian pastors to secure sufficient support, it is no time for them to think of leav ing their fields. Now is the time, if ever, for them to "stick." It would be a disaster to their parishes for them to go. The deluded parishioners who have been led into opposition by false counsellors will not always oppose. They must be patiently dealt with and helped. They were never in greater need of help than now. Their pastors are the ones to help them. Meanwhile we who can must help the pastors to remain at their posts. Such men as Revs. Waiamau and Pali are worthy of all help. Rev. E. S. Timoteo and John Wise begin their evangelistic work in this city this week. Eor the present it is to be closely associated with the Kaumakapili parish. It will be initiated with a canvas of the parish, an house to house visitation and probable holding of local meetings. Rev. Mr. Desha cannot (at present at least) join the work as he cannot leave his parish. Mr. Higgins and the young men who met at Emma Hall will doubtless iden tify themselves with it and prove a strong and helpful force. It is also hoped that all Christian "Kamehameha" boys who are in the city and are now connected with or are graduate from the school, will lend a hand to this work. There never was a city more in need of a change in thought than ours. We believe that there are many who are ready to welcome the Gospel just at this time. Certainly we all need its spirit. Nothing can help us more in the settlement of our troubles than the mind of Christ. 63 surrender of ourselves to God in service.

What need I more ? While engaged in his business, I am released from every other. It is faith's work to claim and challenge loving-kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God. Life is but the road of dying death is but the gate of life. Watch thyself as thy greatest enemy, so shalt thou become thy greatest friend. Those who wait on God, exchange their own weakness for his strength. Under God duties never clash. Our faith is fed by what is plain in Scripture, and tested by what is obscure. Every kindness done to others, is a step nearer to the life of Christ. Wealth is a blessing if God send it; a temptation if man ask it. How shall one hope to enjoy Christ's presence hereafter, if he cares little for his Lord's company here ? Behold the miseries that attend on riches; gained with toil, kept with fear, enjoyed with danger, lost with grief. 'Tis hard to be saved if we have them; impossible if we love them. Knock; continue in prayer and in every other way of the Lord; be not weary or faint in your mind; press on to the mark; take no denial; let him not go until he bless you; and the door of mercy, ofthe holiness, and of heaven shall be opened unto you.— Wesley. When the flesh presents thee with dc lights, then present thyself with dangers; when the world possesses thee with vain hopes, then possess thyself with true fears. The way to be safe is never to feel secure.
