People i'm the Savage and Civilized
&InTe.

What, in few words, is the difference between
the savage state and the civilized stateG In the
savage state people have very Little to do with
another and are very like one another 10 the civil
iIed state people have very much to do with
other, aud are very much unlike one another. In
the there independence without indiyidu-
ality in the other there is independence with in
dividuality. This is quite contrary to the common
democratic prejudice that Rousseau imported into
the world, which Is widely difused in America. 1t
differs from the opening statements in Mr.. Mil's
" Essay on Liberty" But think it viii be found
true. suppose Shakespeare was a strongly marked
individual Well, try for moment 10 think of
Shakespeare quite apart from the whole history of
England and Earope before him. You might just as
well think OF the blossom Of the aloe existing and
growing apart from itsleaf and root. If one should
bring himself to doubt that increased civilization
means increased dependence Of human beings on one
another let him simply read the city article in the
Times. Let him there how an earthquake in
Peru brings desolAtion into an English parsonage
Let him think how other widows than Bulgarian and
Bosnian have been ruined by Russian and Turkish
wars. Let him remember how Lancashire starved
because 500 years ago Columbus took Africans
the Atlantic. Tho fact is, that the whole science Of
sociology, by far the greatest and most momentous
of the many acquisitions Of science in century,
consists in The study Of this concensus-hoW it has
grown, how il works, how il can be modified But we
are here now to think of its effects on health Let

this rsEpect. Il is quite clear the that there

The samoan Treaty.

BY the terms of the treaty lately concluded
between the United States Government and
the Samoans, it will be seen that the United
States have secured important privileges,
which will be advantageous to both govern
ments and people. We were led to believe,
from rumors heretofore published respecting
the terms of the treaty, that that instrument
contained provision in express terms for a
protectorate of the Samoan Islands by the
United States; but we do not find such an
agreement in the treaty; and yet it is to all
intents and purposes protectorate, for the
simple reason that the United States would be
bound, according to international law, to aid
and defend the government of the Samoan Is
lands, in case of any attempt on the part of
any other Power to exercise control, or usurp
rights in derrogation of the people OF Samoan
This is well understood by all parties con-
cerned. The following is the full text of the
treaty, as we find it published in the news
papers, which we take to be correct copy:
ARTICLE 1. There shall be perpetual peace and
friendship between the Government of the Samoan
Islands and the Government Of the United States.
ARTICLE III. Naval vessels of the United States
shall have the privilege of entering and using the
port of Pago, establishing therein and the shores
thereof station for coal and other naval supplies
for their naval and commercial marine and the
Samoan Government will hereafter neither exercise
nor authorize any jurisdiction within said port ad-
to such rights OF the United States or resric-
tive thereof. The vessels shall also have the
privilege of entering any other ports of the Samoan
Islands.
Citizens of the United States shall likewise have
free liberty to enter The ports with their ships
and cargoes of whatsoever kind, and sell the same
to any of the inhabitants of those islands, whether
natives foreigners to barter them for the pro-
ducts of the islands All such traffic in whatsoever
articles of trade barter shall be Free except that
trade in firearms and munitions of war with the
Islands shall be subject to regulations by that
Government
The above treaty has one great merit, which
is brevity; indeed, we may say it has two
great merits-brevity and directness, and
therefore does not possess the objection SO
often found in such documents, namely, that
it says what it does not mean Ambiguity is
the curse of diplomatic documents.

The Care of Horses.


To The Editor of tie Haieaiian Gazette:
DEAR SIR:-1 should like to send you article,
from time 10 time concerning horses stablng, shoe
ing, etc. The horse needs champion here but am
half afraid my efforts will result did those of Ger
vantes' hero, who attacked the wIndmills-nil.
However, as purpose telling those who do not
know how to take care of good horse how to do
so when they get one, perhaps others may be in
duced to read and reflect
STABLING FOR HoRsEs.-Unless the horses feet
be sound and good, he cannot stand any severe
strain. This is especially true of driving horses !;
and more care should be bestowed upon the foot
of the horse by all horse owners than is now given
There are, perhaps parts of the horse which re-
quire more attention and yet which receive less,
than do the feet. While it very true that nearly,
if not fully, half of the lameness in horses arises
from careless incompetent shoeing, recklessly
pairing away the frog OF the foot and worst of all,
burning the foot with hot shoe, yet very much
might be traced to the stables Many fine horse
has been ruined by being kept on a board or plank
floor in the stable, and no attention paid to the feet
TO keep them in a healthy condition A board floor
in stable is very hard on the foot of horse, max
ing it harsh, brittle and dry and in an unfit coudi-
tion to endure driving, even an ordinary hard
rOad. stone ana Drick HOorS are also unsuitable
and second only to board floors, in the bad ef-
fects upon the feet. This is especially true in this
climate, where the thousands of flies and mosqui-
toes which nfest most stables constantly annoy the
horses and cause them to continually stamp and
pound the floors in their eagerness to get rid OF
these pests.
The most natural, as well the best floor for
stables is clay one. The stalls, when being made,
should be filled in With the clay to a required
depth giving the stall floor sufficient slope carry
of the urine and should be well pounded down for
the first few days keep straw the floor, till it be-
comes thoroughly settled. after which, it can be
cleaned out usual By using care in cleaning out
she STALL but little of the earth will be moved each
time the stall is cleaned. BY all means avoid dark
stable, you will soon have your horses with de-
seased eyes.
If horse owners could only realize how very pain
full well as Injurious it is 10 horse, to stable
him in a dark stable and then bring him out in a
blazing sunlight, they would be very careful never
to do it. Ventilation of stables Is very important
sanitary measure ia stable management; though we
know 1t is generally but imperiectlY attended 10
The prevalence obnoxious gasses and vapors cannot
help but be injurious 10 the health and well being
OF animals, when we SO well know the evil effects
on man. CABALLo.

Water. Water.

Seems to be wanted on this Island particu-
lsrly. We have had little or no rain in this
city for the past seven months. The supply
of water in the reservoir for the use of the
people of Honolulu has been scarce for some
weeks, whilst every effort has been made, and
every precaution taken, by the authorities to
keep up the supply. 1t is fact, however,
that notwithstanding the scarcity, the people
of this city do not exercise that prudence and
economy of the water that they should. We
are informed, that, when the supply is shut
off say at o'clock in the evening, and turDed
on at on the following morning, the reser-
voir usually gets full during the night The
experiment has been tried of letting the water
supply on, on alternate nights, to see what
becomes of the water, when people are pre-
sumed to be asleep and not using it. The
result of these experiments goes to show that
nearly as much water is consumed at night as
during the day. How can this be accounted
for, unless upon the supposition that very
many persons waste large quantities of water
at night by carelessly leaving their water taps
open. In some cases it has been found that
the taps have been completely severed from
the stocks, and the water suffered to run both
day and night. This kind of wanton careless
The Hawaiian gazette., 1878-03-20

WE find by the Courier dss Etats Unis, of
January 5, 1878, the names of the persons
composing the present ministry under Pres-
dent Mcmahon. We believe the ministry con-
sists of nine members, and of that number we
find what is to us a strange circumstance,
namely, that five out of the nine are of the
Protestant faith, although France is a Catho-
lie country. The names of the five ministers
referred to are: Waddington, Foreign Affairs :;
Leon Say, Finance Freycinct, Public Works J;
Admiral Struau, Navy; Gen. Bosel, War;
Thus it seems, for the first time in a period of
upwards of three hundred years, the majority
of the French Cabinet is composed of Protest
ants which to say the least, is a significant
fact. From this showing it appears that the
change of sentiment in the French Republic,
is not confined to politics, but has extended in
very marked manner to matters of religious
faith. There was time, when neither King
nor Consul-no not even Napoleon himself
dare appoint a majority of the ministers of
any other than the Catholic faith But these
were times when the Church had more power
in the State than the King. That time has
passed however. What next?
The Hawaiian gazette., 1878-03-20

ness should not be permitted if it can be put
stop to. But the authorities cannot always
detect these leaks in time to stop them, till
large quantities of water are wasted. 1t is
the duty of all good citizens to be careful
of the water at time like the present, in
order to aid as much as they can, the efforts
of the superintendent to keep up the supply.
We understand that it is the intention of His
Excelency the Minister of the Interior to
make some important suggestions to the next
Legislature upon the subject of supplying
Honolulu with an abundance of water at all
times; and in this connection we take the
liberty of suggesting the necessity as well as
propriety of the citizens of this city giving to
the Minister all the assistance they can in his
efforts to secure the needed pecuniary aid to
carry into practical effect his recommenda-
tions

New Uses of the Telephone.

IT is really surprising to what uses the
this new and wonderful invention will be in
almost, if not all pursuits. We find in a col
onial paper that the telephone has been found
to subserve the purposes of holding conver-
sation with people far down below the surface
of the earth-in the deepest mines. Hereto
fore it has been most difficult matter to
communicate with the miners from the outside
world by any appliance in vogue, but the tele
phone has solved the difficulty and furnished
the most certain means of communication, as
will be found by the following extract, which
we clip from the otago Witness, Dunedin,
New Zealand, of recent date:
Hitherto speaking signals to the surface have
been possible in mines of great depth, and cord
signals have been very unsatisfactory. On Tuesday,
DR.. Foster Government inspector of mines, and his
brother, eminent London electrician, conducted
experiment at the Eliza Mine, st. austel, with
the telephone, which never previously had been tried
in mine. The instrument attached to q covered
copper wire sent down the ventiating shaft and
within a quarter of an hour speaking at the bottom
of the mine distinctly heard. Even more audi
bic whisperings from the bottom of the mine.
Songs were sung and questions asked and answered.
demonstrating the complete adaptability of the tee
phone to mines. The instrument used by miners
and others who had it before, and as it
so simple, inexpensive, and quickly fixed. it might
be adopted in every mine in the country next week
An aiarum calls attention when communication is
desired at either end. The Importance of the tele-
phone in mining industries can scarcely be over
estimated. as the wire and instrument are portable
and can be carried to the extreme point of any
mine"
From the above il is plain that this new in
vention is destined to come into general use at
no distant date.

The Tom Paine Discussion.

VIZ have Published several articles on the
Tom Paine question from time to time, merely
to give an opportunity for both sides to be
fully heard. This we consider fair. But
there must be a limit to everything human,
and we kindly suggest to the dsputants in
this matter, the propriety of a cessation of hos
tilities. inasmuch as we think the subject
pretty well exhausted. The article we pub
lish this week seems to be broad side into
the whole camp of Tom Paine's enemies on
these Islands. We express no opinion as to
the relative merits of the arguments on either
side, except that we think it time for the
writers to turn their talents to some other
subject, the discussion of which will be pro-
ductive of more good than establishing by
proof or argument, whether Paine died a re-
canting rebel or not. We have learned one
lesson in our experience, and that is, that we
never knew any good to come out of accrimo-
nious discussions on religion or politics and
it is strange, but true, we have always found
those persons most fond of such discussions,
the least sanity animals in the world. We
think that Alexander Pope hit the nail on the
head when he wrote,
"For modes of faith let senseless zealots fight
BE can't be wrong, whose life is In the right"
" Let him who thinketh he standeth, take
heed lest he fall"

The New York opponents of silver
RECOMMENDATION have matured a plan by
which they expect to compel the estab-
lishment of gold as the basis of all
money transactions. The plan is to
agree that the clearing house shall pass
no paper drawn after-some fixed date
which does not specify sum in gold
or its market equivalent, thus making
gold and greenbacks practically inter.
convertible. The banks of New Or
leans, Charleston, st. Louis, Cincinnati
and most of the Chicago banks have in
Dictated their sympathy with the pro-
.ject as means of securing safety against
cheap silver reconciliation. 1t is
urged that the effect will be to compel
all commercial business to be done on
gold basis. Nobody will be obliged
to buy any more gold. Paper can be
received at its market value. The man
who obtains a loan or makes draft
takes the chances instead of the bank.
