a WIFE,s TROUBLE.

For number Of years my wife has been
troubled with chronic rheumatism, It being in
Some portion Of her body constantly, (excep'
perhaps In the very warmest weather in SUM
mer). Last Christmas she contracted q very
severe cold, and q diseased condition Of the kid.
neys became manifest, which subjected her to
excessive suffering, as the 81 mptoms Of gravel
became more prominent, her urine being col
ored, accompanied by heavy brick-dust sedi
ment.
After trying several remedies without relief
procured for her bottle OF Hunts Remedy,
which she commenced taking, aud before three
days had passed she became much better. She
continued using the medicine until che had
used six bottles, and now feels entirely cured Of
both rheumatism and kidney complaint She
believes her present excellent health due solely
70 the use OF Hunts Remedy.

On the 10th utimo, Rev. Serene Bishop Of
this city wrote letter on the subject Of leprosy
which was printed in the San Francisco BnLe-
mn. Our San Francisco letter makes some
what sweeping criticism upon it, in which we do
not concur. The Bulletin Of this city endorses
the letter. Constructively, the Ca:eif does
also. though holding that some Of its estimates
are exaggerated. The AdtufiJfr prints the
letter in full, with extended comment, holding
that "The Rev. Mr.. Bishop makes an utterly
uncalled for and improper statement in regard
to the Kings disinclination to have the severe
measures Of segregation carried out in regard
to lepers in His Majestys dominions. There
are no facts to substantiate such a statement.
On the contrary His Majesty fully sus,ains the
present action Of the Board Of Health in re.
moving lepers from their homes and in placing
them in hospitals or asylums." We think il is
the judgment Of the community that the King
has interfered to stay the action Of the authori
ties in many instances. We trust the ddter'
hiv is right in thinking Ills Majesty has es'
perienced a change OF heart.

sought in our behalf American, English and
German subjects are more largely than any
others, interested in the trade Of these Islands,
and it is scarcely presumable, that even with
the consent Of the Hawaiian Government itself,
these nations would stand quietly by to see
the interests Of their subjects overborne as
they most assuredly would be by the results Of
an enormous immigration from China. The
Chinese Of the place are 50 well organized, and
armed, that should they at any time become
stirred up to general and open hostility, the
government, with its present resources, would
hold doubtful chance in any collision. The
government is already weak enough, and every
Chinaman that enters hereafter in excess of the
numbers now present, will only tend to make
it more so. In trouble it is mainly to assistance
from foreigners Of other nationalites that the
government would have to look. The question
We have to face is one Of the utmos, seriousness.
Unless the Government is fully alive to its i'm.
portance, and acts with frmness and decision,
there will be little hope left for the autonomy

tits rumored that Honolulu is to have another
banking establishment. 1t is also rumored that
the house Of Bishop & Co may be merged in
the new business. Whether the coming con.
cem shall benefit or injure the community,
largely will depend upon who is at its head.
Hitherto, the even.handed justice of the gen
tleman who controlled it has justified the bank
ing monopoly of Honolulu. 1t seems unlikely
that any new financial dictator, coming into
power from Maiden Lane or Wall Street or
the corner Of Sansome and Pine, could dispense
financial justice with the same inflexible even
handedness. The individual or corporation
having interests all over the islands, owning
plantations and mills, ships and wharves, pro-
duce and warehouses, must be something more
than merely shrewd; something more than
simply honest; something better than both,
wisely to harmonic conflicting interests and an
argumentative conscience. A new bank might
be boon to the community. There seems
ample room for two. But no new bank, Ger.
tainly no banker new to this community, ough,
to be allowed to establish monopoly Of the
banking business in this city. We think that
gentlemen who have made large fortunes here
owe the community at least this much; thai
they neither take all their money out Of the
country, nor neglect to provide for the com
mercial or industrial vacancies their departure.
may cause. AT a late date we have been an
swered that the rumor Of the merging Of Bishop
& Co. with any other banking business is un

Let us take leaf from the experience Of
California. Cheap labor seemed at one time
essential to the swift extension of internal i'm.
provemen, and the better development of both
natural resources and desirable manufactures.
Capital looked across the Rocky Mountains,
but saw no unemployed workers. I, turned
its gaze across the Pacific, and saw there FIVE
men dividing single handful of rice So
Californian capital called across the waters to
Chinese labor, and to its offer of work and
wages the Chinese nation made swift response.
For a time the presence Of Chinese on the Pa
cifc Coast was an unmistakabe, though mixed,
good. They filled one niche as house servants,
another as aundrymen, a third as market
gardeners, fourth as fishermen, still another
as laborers on public OF semi-public works.
Bu, before long it was found that their number
increased out OF all proportion 10 the demand
for them in any Of the employments named,
while they began to crowd themselves into
avenues of industry already occupied to the ex'
tent of their capacity for yielding profitable
living The most cursory study Of the prob
lem soon revealed the fact that a Chinese
could "live WE'LL" according to his standard,
for less than half of what Americans, Ger
mans and Engishmen required to live "well,
according to their standards. II ii came to a
