THE DOCK COMMISSIONERS IN PERIL.

Ever since the discovery of the latest defalcation
in the Dock Department, there have been rumors
that the Mayor intended TO prefer charges against
the Dock Commissioners preparatory to removing
them. This has been in part cOrrOboraIed by re-
cent remark let drop by the Mayor. COMMITTEE
from the Chamber OF Commerce and the Maritime
Exchange called on the Mayor and asked hun TO
oppose the bill now before the Legislature giving
the Dock Commissioners power to appoint he Ifar-
Dor Masters. The members of the committee de-
clared that they had 10 confidence in the Dock
, Commission. The Mayor SAID that If the Legs
lature passed the Charter amendments proposed by
HIM the Dock Commission would be Teorganlzed
There is no question but that the Mayor has had
collected by the Commissioners OF Accounts aud
Others q good deal OF material that lie can use in
formulating COMPLAINTS against the Dock Commits
sioners should he desire to do But II is under
stood that he will take decided steps in the mat
ter of preferring charges until the Legislature has
taken some action with reference to the Mayors
proposed Charter amendments.
The principal objection TO the Dock Department
as at present managed is hat the mlnissoners
while nomnally responsible TO the Mayor for their
official actions are practically responsible to no
one. The expenses OF the Dock Department are
by the sale of bonds, issued by authority of the
Sinking Fund Commissioners, and the Issue of these
is Hunted TO S3.uOO,0OO in any one year. This
limit has not been reached In any year.

Is Leprosy Contagious ,

This question has Just been uupleasantly
raised III Philadelphia, il consequence Of the
arrival Of Il wealthy planter from tue Sand
wich Islands, who has been a leper for eight
wears, and who has iouneyed TO the American
city for the purpose Of placing himself under
a physician there This medical man has
evolved q theory Of his own about leprOsy,
to the effect that the disease is not contagious
and can only be communicated by innOcula-
ton This theory is opposed 10 the vast bulk
Of medical opinion in all ages and IN all climes.
But the Philadelphia physician appears to
have the courage Of bis convictions, for he
has begun 10 make a tour with his patient
through the United States, with the object Of
keeping up the general health and spirits Of
afflicted man The American press is not
unnatuTally discussing the question how far
any physician Is justified in turning a man
smitton with lepTosy loose upon the COM
munity; for if he should SOW the seeds of this
terrible disease wherever he goes, the con-
sequences will not be limited to the iisappoiut-
ment Of the Philadelphia doctor IL his theory.
Lepr0sy has always been believed to be
highly contagious in all AsiatiC countries and
on the Levant, where 1t makes it's home, and
it is also now so held by the modern ply
sicians who have charge Of the hospitals for
lepers in TraCadie, the Sandwich Islands and
Louisiana. Dr.. Joseph Jones, President Of
the Louisiana Board Of Health, made only
two years ago an exhaustive report on the
extent Of the disease in that State, proving
incontestibly that it was not only hereditary,
but contagious. Nurses and priests who have
been brought but mOmeniarily into contact
with It have fallen victims to the disorder

The Bursting of the Monsoon.

Life in India would be impossible without
its mousoOns, and the periodic approach OF one
Of these great rain storms is always hailed
there with delight The southwest monsoon
sets in generally toward the end OF April, the
steady wind sweeping up from the Indian
Ocean and carrying with it dense volumes OF
vapor, which slowly collect in dark masses OF
cloud as they approach the continent. From
Adams Peak in the Isle Of Spices, right along
the Eastern and Western Ghauts and the Nil
girls, every hilltop is gradually shrouded IN
mist, instead of standing out clear and sharp
against the sky. Darker and denser become
the cloud masses; the horizon assumes heavy
lead appearance, sometimes kindling into a
lurid glare-answering to the sense OF oppres-
sion, both mental and physical, which accom-
panies it. The atmosphere becomes close and
oppressive alike TO man and beast; but the heat
is borne with patience, for relief is at hand.
Flashes of lightning play from cloud to cloud,
and heavy thunder reverberates through the
heavens the wind suddenly springs up into a
tempest, and along the shore the white waves
are tossed in foam against the rocks OF over
the burning sand. Then few great drops OF
rain fall, like balls Of lead from the apparently
leaden sky; the forked lightning Is changed
to sheets Of light, and suddenly the food-gates
of heaven are opened, and not rain, but sheets
Of water, arc poured forth, refreshing the
parohed earth carrying fertility over the sur
face Of the country, filling the wells and natural
reservoirs with fresh store, and replenishing
the dwindling rivers and streams. The whole
earth seems suddenly recalled 10 life. Nege-
iation may almost be seen to grow, and from
the baed mud of the river-banks emerge count.

The Hawaiian gazette., 1883-06-20

In al insect body, says Mr.. G. Allen, there
is no regular subOTdinatiOn Of all the parts
composing the nervous system to a single CEN
trail organ, like the brain in man The largest
knot OF nerve-matter, 1t is true, is generally TO
be found in the neighborhOod Of the sense-or-
gans, and it receives direct nerye-bundles from
the ewes, anteunG, mouth and other chief ada
cent parts; but the wings and legs are moved
by separate knots Of nerve-cells, connected by
a sort Of spinal cord with the head, but capable
OF acting quite independently on their own &C
count. Thus, if We cut of a wasp's head and
stick it on a needle in front Of some sugar and
water, the mouth will greedily begin to eat the
sweet syrup, apparently unconscious Of the
fact that it has lost lie stomach, and that the
food is quietly dropping out Of the gullet at
the other end as fast as It is swallowed SO,
too, if we decapitate that queer insect, the
praying mantis, the headless body will stand
catching Aies with its out-stretched arms, and
fumbling about for its mouth when it has
caught one, evidently much surprised to find
that its head is unaCcountably missing.
In fact, whatever may he the case with man,
the insect, at least, is really a conscious auto
maton. Il sees OF smells food, and 1t is at once
inpelled by its nervous constitution 10 eat it.
II receives a sense-impressiOn from the bright
hue OF a flower, and 1t lie irresistiby attracted
toward it, as the moth is to the candle. 1t has
no power of deliberation, no ability even to
move its own limbs in unaccustOmed manners
Its whole life is governed for it ty its fixed
nervous constitution, and by the stimulations
it receives frpm outside. And so, though the
world probably appears much the same 10
beetle as to us, the nature Of its life is very
different. Il acts like a piece of ClOck-work
mechanism, wound up to perform certain
number Of fixed movements, and incapable Of
ever going beyond the narrow circle for which
it is designed.-Scia,oc.

re never initiated or counterteited. This is
especially true OF family medicine, and 1t is,
positive proof that tn remedy initiated Is OF
the highest value. As soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole World that
Hop Btters was the purest, best and most
valuable family medicine on earth, many iml-
tations sprang up and began to steal the notices
in which the press and the people of the
country had expressed the merits Of H. b., and
In every way trying to induce suffering invaiids
to use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of H. b,
Many others started nostrums put up in simi-
lar style to H. b., with varously devised
names In which the word "Hop" or "Hopsn
were used in n way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bittors. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word Hop" or "Hopsn in their name
or in any was connected with them or their
name, are limitations or counterfeits. Beware
OF them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bltters, with a bunch or clus-
ter OF green Hops on the white label Trust
nothing else. Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or oounterfeits.

ro-pAr,s NOMINATION.
A. Good Word for city Collector DeHni
Kane.

a BOOd Word Tor City Couector Dohhts
Kane.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: II the
Democratic voters of the Southern District
would pay merited compliment to faith
full, honest and efficient public officer, they
could do so in no better way than by nomt-
Mating Mr. Dennis Kane for the position OF
Assessor and Collector, at to-day's election.
Mr. Kane is the present incumbent, and
though the office came to him unsought, his
record proves beyond question that he has
performed his duties most creditaoly and
satisfactorily. Though for years past an
effective worker for his party, he has never
been identified with any political clique
or prior TO this-an aspirant
for any political favor, even ten
during his services in tho past as a gratul
tous offering to the party OF lis choice. Mr..
Kane is most emintntly fitted for tae posi-
lion, his business relations In private life
having been such as to familiarize him with
the duties of pubic position. A gentle
man of decided character, he has never al
lowed personalities, or private likes or dis
likes to influence OF shape the course OF his
official action. The position of Assessor
and Collector is one that can be easily used
or debauched for mercenary ends, and too
much care or caution cannot be exercised in
aeiecting an official for this position.
WnHe coluPoVenSy 10 ieHNiei'0t SfSN Ht''
pensable, there are other and more sterling
qualities that man should possess
before being called to this position.
He should be capable, but besides he should
be honest and impartial. he should not
| only be able TO place correct value upon
| property but he should have the honesty
of purpose to make all such valuations I'M
partially. Knowing no man in the discharge
of his duties, knowing no party iu the per
| formance of his official labor.
Mr.. Kane bases his claim for renomina-
tion upon Just such record. He has not
only proven himself capable, but has
also been honest and Impartial )
and the best evideBce we have, or that can
be produced, that Mr.. Kane has ereditaoly
performed his official labors, is the satistac-
ton that he has universally given through
out his entire district.
