fore them, they each in turn attempted tho
task unsuccessfully. Even the combined cf-
forts of the brothers proved of no avail when
the bundle was undono, the separate faggots
were easily broken, and therein lay the moral
which the lads, Let us hope, profted by.
Nothing is more easily demolished than
house divided against itself If opposition is
the life of trade it is life dearly purchased.
Coz operation ia it's bone and sinow. Co-opera-
ton strikes at the very root of monopoly.
Monopoly lies upon the ono hand individual
and necessarily feeble effort lies upon the
other. Between the horns of this dilemma,
the strong. healthfnl and wholesome co-opcra-
tive principle reigns supreme. The sooner
our planters recognize this fact, the better for
all parties concerned
Each plantation, though it may be in itself

means to an end, and all are alike working TO
the same end. There can be no question as to
combination of forces and these benefits are
mutual. The California pioneers realized this

the trackloss plains in 1910, Singly thcy were
overwhelmed by drought and hunger and

wayside tell the story of their doom. When
they travelled in company they were able to

PUTTING THE SHOE ON THE 0T1 Err
FOOT

The Chronicle has affirmed that the exports
from the Hawaiian Islands exceed the imports.
If all the statements Of that 90 live paper"
were as truthful as the above there would DO
very little cause for us or for anyone else to
complain. The exports are in excess Of the
imports. Upon no other terms can we for
for the present afford to import at all. Our
physical proportions on the map of the world
are insignificant. We are perfectly aware Of
the fact. If we were not it would not be for
lack Of having been informed of it thousand
times by those who hail from other aud more
expansive lands we are isolated and have
suffered considerably in consequence of our
isolation.
We arc obliged to build up from tho very
foundations; we cast our bread upon the water,
as it were, and await it's return after many
days. Too much should not be Immediately
expected Of us. Tho sands Of Hawaii arc not
golden, save only in color our rocks are not
veincd with precious orc; even our forests are
not available and the blight is gradually posses
sing our orange groves. But we have sugar,
and in this we put our trust. 1t is in excess
of the importation of all other commodities.
II WAS in excess before tho treaty, but the
truth 10 that the difference between the exports
and the imports was greater then than now.
The Chronicle is continually harping upon tho
odds in favor of Hawaii. The odds were more
in favor of Hawaii before the treaty than
sinco. They are necessarily in favor of Ha-
waii, for until she has tho means with which
to build herself up, she cannot accomplish
that much desired end. She is doing it now,
and the very money which she gets for hor
sugar, il being sent back to the Unted States
aud invested in American goods for her own
use, at the rate of more than one million dol
lars per annnm in exce,s of her investments
previous to the treaty. In plain English, TAX
ing the average annual exports and imports
for the four years preceding and the four years
succeeding the establishment of the Recipro-
, city Treaty, we find that formerly the exports
from Hawaii were in round numbers eighty
per cent. in excess of the imports, while there
are but seventy five per cent in excess since
the treaty went into operation. There is II
clear gain of five per cent. in favor of the
United States which the Chronicle is very care
ful to ignore.
Thus do we see how the mysterious ways
of live" Journal betray the confidence of
its readers and delude the whole pack OF
provincial editors into piping their penny
whistles at its dilapidated heels.

INTER.IsLAND CABLE CONNECTION

An inquiry is being made as to tho depth Of
the soundings between the islands Of this
group, with the view OF having them connected
by telegraphic cables. The U,S.S. TaseToro,
in sounding for u cable from the Coast to
Honolulu, tried the channel between Oahu and
Molokai only. The distances between the is
lands are short and there should be no serious
difficulties TO encounter in laying cables from
one TO tho other. Tclegraphic connection hs-
tween the islands 10 becoming a necessity, and
We are pleased to know that a movement with
this much-desired end in view is receiving
careful consideration. An appeal will probably
be made to the next Legislature for an apPra-
priation to assist in making the plan reality.
Money expended for such q purpose will
be Of more benefit to the country and will give
greater satisfac,ion to the general public. than
that used in sending onr youths abroad 70
learn foreign languages and study the art Of
war. Aud besides. with cables in successful
operaiio between the divided sectioss Of our
own country, NO might the sooner expect con-
nee.ion with our nsighbor on the east. by tho
same means.

PREVENTING DISEASE.
DECEMBER ?, 1881.

Among the more important recent discover
les of biological research, perhaps none have
exceeded III value those attendant upon tho
investig L at nI of the conditions of microscopic
life, and the relation in which it stands to the
diseases Of man and the higher animals.
Up 10 the end of tho last century the aim of
medicine was exclusively to the cure Of dis
eases, and tho idea of prevention unthoIght
of: but to-day tho case is reversed, and pre-
vcntion 10 tho almost total exclusion of hopes
OF cure in many diseases liz that which is
sought after. This reverse in tho tendency
Of medical science was brought about by the
great discovery Of Jenncr that vaccination
was effective in securing immunity from one
Of tho greatest scourges 10 which the human
family has been subjected. From this dis
covcry dates tho era in which disease is no
longer looked upon as inevitable but prevent
able and the researches, originating in this
discovery, into the causes Of disease have
given ample proof that not only smallpox but
all acute specific diseases are prevenabo; and
that hundreds of thousands of people die
yearly in early life from disease that intelli-
ton of individuals might prevent. From re-
liable statistics 1t is learned that in Engloi,d
(and perhaps the perceutage will hold good in
many other counlrics) twenty per cont. OF
those who die are victims of lzymotic) pro-
ventablo disease. But although such facts
are not yet appreciated MS they should he by
tho masses, tho day is perhaps not distant
when the accumulation of facts resulting trou,
the patient and toilsomo researches of scienti-
tic men will be made too plain and undenuble
to be longer ignored or neglected, and men
will bo forced To accord them the respect
which their significance deserves.
That acute specific diseases owe their orr
fact that modern research has placed beyond
a doubt, aud is now with little opposition,
generally accepted by the medical profession
as axiomatic.
We might say that the surgical treatment OF
disease has been revolutionized by the belief
in this theory, which every day since its
origin has been adding fact upon fact in its own
support, until now even tho most conservative
Of the old school practise have been forced 60
acknowledge the great benefit Of The treat
menI suggested by it in the enrc Of wounds,
however much they may be disposed to doubt
tho correctness OF the theory upon which i,
! is based Since the suggestions Of Professor
Lister, Scotch surgeon OF note, in regard to
the antiseptic treatment Of wounds have been
generally adopted in hospital practise, tho TO-
suits as compared with the treatment before
employed, consisting Of watcr dressings aud
filthy ointments, are really amazing. Erysi-
pelas, gangrens, pysmia aud Surgical fever,
the dread OF surgeons under tie old practise
are now 81 far under control that their occur
ence at all in amy but very exceptional cir
easas,anees, is liable to bring disersdit upon
the attending surgeon. In an address delivered
before lhei International Medical Congres
