silver of all denominations except
Hawaiian and American, at their
nominal value IN exchange for Hd,C-
diidn coins at their nominal Udlue.
No advantage is gained by paying
out Hawaiian silver, and certificates
would be much more convenient
The Minister of Finance is then to
sell the silver in the Treasury, ex-
cept Hawaiian and United States, at
the rate of not more than $150,000
per month for United States gold.
There is no conceivable reason why
the business should be strung along
over long series of months. 1t
will simply delay the operation of
the law without any good resulting.
Mr.. Dole proposes to issue certifi-
Gates of deposit for coin received
payable in United States gold after
October 1st.
Another objection to the same
section is that it makes it obligatory
to deposit HdaUaiian Bonds to the
amount of silver withdrawn, as
security for repayment Of the gold.
AS there are a very limited number
of bonds out, this practically shuts
out any person from furnishing
gold, who is not large holder OF
Hawaiian Bonds, even though he
should offer to do so at a cheaper
rate. This is not wise.
Another objection to DR.. Smith
bill is that it does not provide fol
keeping any gold reserve in the
Treasury; Mr.. Dole's does.

THE PROPOSED COLD LAW.

We publish herewith the two gold
bills now before the House, intro
duced respectively by j. Mott Smith
and S. B. Dole. One prime differ
ence is the amount TO which silver
shall be legal tender. DR.. Smith
places the limit at SO, Mr.. Dole at
So. In both, the lst day of Octo-
Der next is fixed as the date when
the law shall go into operation. DR..
Smiths bill is weak in that by Sec.
4 it leaves it discretionary with the
Minister of Finance to replace any
silver coins which may be in the
Treasury with United States gold.
This gives him the power to keep on
exchanging silver for gold indefi-
nitely, thereby giving spectators a
chance to bring in silver, which, pas
sing at the nominal value, will event.
ually have to be redeemed with gold
by the Government. Mr.. Dole's
bill on the contrary takes the bull by
the horns and makes it mandatory
upon the Minister of the Finance
"during thirty days following the
approval of the Act, to receive all
current silver coin that shall be Of
fered at the Treasury to any amount
not less than $10," and does not
allow him at any and all times to ex-
change silver for gold. BY Mr..
Dole's bill all silver, other than Ha-
waiian, is to be used without delay
for the purchase of United States
gold, and if other silver prove
insufficient for that purpose, Hawai-
ian silver also shall be used to buy
United States gold.
DIR. Smiths plan is that for thirty
days the Treasury shall receive

REPORT OF DR.. BR0DlE TO COMMIT
TEE ON PRISON, ETC., CONCERNING
OAHU PRISON.
Honolulu, June Z, 1884.

Honolulu, June z. 1884.
Hon. w. O. SMITH,
Chairman of Committee on Prison, dc.
SIR:-As requested, | herewith
submit to your Committee my views
concerning some needed changes,
from a sanitary point of view, in
the internal economy of Oahu Pris-
on. Increased accommodation is
necessary, as at times three pris-
oners have to occupy one cell, while
in my estimation there should not
be more than one in a cell. The
whole structure needs q thorough
overhauling, as the large cracks in
the partitions provide too secure
retreat for bed-bugs, with which
vermin the building is almost con-
stantly overrun. The enclosure is
too small for the proper accommo-
dation of the usual number of pris-
oners. The water-closets as at pre-
sent situated and constructed, are q
positive nuisance and should be re-
moved to greater distance from
the Hospital and the sheds, which
form the only shelter for those who
are confined there during the day,
and be reconstructed on q larger
scale, and more improved plan.
Additional facilities for bathing
should also be provided.
In regard to the Hospital, it is an
absolute necessity for the proper
treatment of the sick, that a bath
room and water-closet be attached
to that building; also that some
changes be made in the culinary de-
partment, whereby properly cooked
and suitable feed can be supplied
when necessary.
Respectfully Yours,

standing in wrapt silence in York

terror, when he was approached by
a typical counuyman, who OK
claimed: 'Wall, stranger, there's
one thing purity sartin, the man who
put up this here didn't build stun

honses for their God, did they?"

best, be prepared for the worst, and

horticulture in Homer,s Time.


At n recent meeting of the Montgom
cry County Ohio horticultural Society
Mr.. Robert w. Steele gave the follow
ing literal illustration from Homer's
Odessy, to show that they had some good
things and good ideas of gardening, even
three thousand years ago: "Outside Of the
courtyard, hard by the door, is great
garden Of four acres, and hedge was
around on the other side. And there
grow tall trees poisoning, pear trees
aud pomegranites, and apple trees with
bright fruit, and sweet figs and olives in
their bloom. The fruit of these trees
never perth, neither faileth winter and
summer, enduring through all the year.
Evermore the west wind blowing brings
some fruit to birth and ripening others.
Pear upon pear wakes old, and apple on
apple, yea, cluster ripens upon cluster of
the grape, and fig upon fig. There too
hath he fruitful vineyard planted,
whereof one part is being dried by the
heat, a sunny plot ON a level ground
while other grapes men are gathering,
and yet others are treading in the wine
press In the foremost row are the M
ripe grapes that cast the blossom, and
others that are growing black to vintage.
There, too skirting the furthest lane, are
ali manner Of garden beds, planted trim
~, are perpetually fresh, and therein arc
two fountains of water, whereof one
scatters his streams all over the garden,
and the other runs over against it be-
meath the threshold of the courtyard and
issues by the lofty house, and thence did
the townsfolk draw water"
Il is manifest that people three thou
sand years ago>understood gardening to
perfection, and we may add horticulture
to Wendell Phillips list of the lost arts
of the ancicnts."

Indenendcnt Consistenoy.

Ono of Pope's right hand men. one
who figured prominently i'll the Live
Oak convention that nominated Pope,
was in Tallahassee last Tuesday, and, in
trying to explain to his old friends here
why he is opposing the democratic party,
he said that one of his reasons for oppo-
sition was based ON their failure to pass
law providing for an educational quail
tieation for suffrage, as provided for in
the constitution. Great father OF incon-
sjstency! Behold the virtuous indepen-
denti His noble and patriotic spirit, re-
voting at the thought of uneducatcd
men being permitted to vote. he clasps
to his bosom the ignorant and unte}u-
Gated and asks them to assist in defeat
ing the educated "aristocratic bourbons"
for failing to disfranchise them. He left
here to take the stump for Pope. We
don't see how he is going to make his ar
gumenes jingle with Pope's. He viii
probably address his new followerers
about thus: My dear new found friends
and fellow citizens! was once n dem
orat. The constitution of Florida pro
vided that the legislature of 1878 should
pass a law to take away the right to vote
from every man who could not rcCd and
write. Now. my dear, unciviliZed fell
low-citizens, the democrats had ii in
their power to pass that law and disfran-
ehise nearly every mothers son Of you,
but they failed To do it For their fail
ing 10 rid the stateof your vote Ihave de
serted their old party and Pope and my
self have started a little party of our
own, Now, my dear, ignoramus, numb
skull, ninkumpoop brothers. [ know that
you are no more fit to vote than the cat
tie of the field, but l love you dearly,
and if you will just please help Pope and
into office, he our tongues paralyzed
and our right arms severed, if ever NO

THE THIRSTY FEMALE.
why Mosquitoes of That Sex are the
More Ferocious.

Why Mosquitoes of That Sex are the
More Ferocious.
1t seems, from the observations Of DR.
Finlay, of Havana, reported in the ''An-
nails Of the Royal Academy Of Sciences"
of that city, that there are good reasons
for supposing' that the mosquito is the
carrier of the contaging or virus of yell
low fever. He says that the female alone
stings and sucks blood,-the male being a
harmless sort of body that lives on the
Juices of vegetables, those of a sweetened
character principally, The female stings,
not because she loves blood particularly,
but because it furnishes an amount of
nourishment and heat that is necessary
in order that the eggs she is about to de-
posit in the water may become matured.
Those that have satisfied themselves with
blood lay eggs in few days, while those
which have purposely been kept so they
could not reach a supply of this rich food
die without ever depositing any. The
blood of a person with fever is especially
in favor with this insect, as it is several
degrees higher in temperature than that
of healthy person or animal. The
larger variety Of mosquito is able to take
enough blood at onr time to enable it to
go on with its egg-laying duty, but the
smaller ones are more vicious, and have
to come back for more blood several
times, even ten or twelve i'll number.
Microscopical exami nation Of the singing
apparatus shows that some Of the blood
dries on the outside and another portion
adheres to the inside, ready to be washed
into the next puncture it makes, along
with the acrid venom or saliva it injects.
II is easily seen how the incubation Of
healthy person with disease germs
swarming in the blood Of a fever patient
might occur, especially if the healthy
man should be stung soon after the mos
quito had been interrupted in its meal of
the blood of a fever patient.
