Forcing The Voice.


During the summer of 1884 young
man, splendidly built, called on me,
having previously demanded an APP
pointment, explaining that he had my
advice to ask in a matter of paramount
Importance TO him. He asked me what
he should do under the following cir
cumstances: He was the happy pos
SCISSOR of very sweet tenor voice, of
which he gave an instant proof. He
was recommended to go to certain
Italian singing-master for the purpose
of developing the strength of his voice
This gentleman recommended him to
to take hold of the back of a chair with
both his hands, and then pressing on it
as hard as he could to shout with all his
might.
Did think that was the right way to
go to work? / replied that if his object
was to break his voice he would un-
doubtedly reach that object by so doing,
otherwise could not imagine any good
it could do. Such murderous ignorance
l really think ought to be brought be-
fore the court, because either intention
ally or Internationally that young man
would have been deprived of what he
had to make living from. He is now
engaged and sings at q theatre of not
too big proportions in she sweetest way
possible, and would certainly not have
a tone left in his throat had he followed
the advice above indicated

ABOUT COLONIZATION.

There is a decided set of opinion in
the United States, the Dominion of
Canada and the United Kingdom in
favor of emigration to the Hawaiian
Islands. Inquiries have been made of
late from almost every quarter of the
globe as to the possibility OF obtaining
land here for practical settlement; but the
preponderance is altogether in favor of
Anglo-SaxoH communities. Now, this
] is precisely the tendency and feeling that
should be encouraged. il the set of i'm
migration can be diverted hitherward in
ever SO slight degree the result will be
to fill up the country with an Industrious,
law-abiding, educated and enterprising
class of citizens, who would soon carve
out homes for themselves in what is now
the waste places of the land That is
precisely what is wanted to build up the
country. This class of immigrants would
not alone be producers; they would be
consumers as well. AT present we have
a great many producers, but relatively
few consumers; in other words, the
class of labor upon which our plant
ers are now dependent does not
at all promote trade or encourage
diversified industries, in proportion to
their numbers; but if men and women
of Anglo-Saxon and other European stock
were introduced, business of every kind
would be stimulated, and capitalists and
skilled artisans be encouraged to embark
innew enterprises, relying upon the home
demand. 1t is clearly the duty of the
authorities to lend their moral support to
all propositions made in good faith
looking to this end All such proposals
are advertising the country, and bring
ing it into greater prominence in the eye
Of the commercial and industrial world.
Since the great colonization scheme on
Oahu island was introduced by Mr.. B. F.
Dillingham;, the advantages which this
country offer to bona fide colonists have
been presented in a variety of ways by
foreign papers Every notice of this
kind must prove beneficial, and there
fore we say that the Hawaiian Land
Colonization and Trust Company, and all
similar enterprises, should receive local
support for the good they are calculated
to accomplish.

THE OPIUM TRADE AND THE POLICE

If our evening contemporary had read
the ADVERTISERS article on the police
and opium seizures little more care
fully, the criticism upon it in Tuesdays
'fBulletin" would hardly have been writ
ten. We spoke of police organization
quite as pointedly as our contemporary
could do, and indeed we went great
deal further, because we condemned a
source of Generalization which it is evil
IDENTIFY bent upon protecting. We refer
to the educated and respectable SNUG
glers' in whose interest the anti-opium
law was passed, and in whose interest
also it is advocated by the Opposition
press OH hypocritical pretense of moral
ity and virtue. This is the underlying
source of all the evil, moral and otherwise.
It is at the root of police decentralization
as well, and when the "opium ring" has
been broken and exposed, as it will one
day most assuredly be, it will be found
that the bulk of its members stand much
closer to the party of moral ideas" than
they do to the Government Buildings,
despite what the Opposition press allege.
In the interest of public and private NOR
ais, as we'll as for reasons of revenue
which are apparent to all, the anti-opium
law should be repealed, and the sale of
opium regulated by license. The tax
payers would be relieved to that amount,
and the public treasury would receive
the money which, by various illegal chan
nels, now finds its way into the pockets of
those who should obey the law, but who
find it more profitable to hire agents to
violate it for their profit, and pay the pen
atty for valuable consideration.

Hugh Kawelo, who has been for about

prietors, Messrs. Mirlees, Watson 81 Co.,
learning the business, was to sail on the
Stirlingshire from Liverpool on the 9TH of
last month, on his return to his native
land. His constitution is not strong
enough to stand the severity of Scottish
winter, and on his recovery from u severe
illness his medical attendant pronounced
against his remaining in Glasgow, and adj
vised particularly his return to his own
country. The Rev. Alexander Macintosh
went to see Kawelo when he was visiting
Scotland in October last, and also strongly
recon- mended his return.

why q prunken Man staggers.


'FWhy does a drunken man stagger
when he is drunk"
A representative Philadelphia phySi
clan, scientist and philosopher adj
dressed this query to reporter as they
passed by well-dressed, gentlemanly
looking young man who had evidently
looked through the bottom of too many
wine glasses.
"You must know" said the doctor, in
reponse to a request for plain but sci
entifie explanation, ''that the nervous
system, which has its seat in the brain
and the spinal cord, divides its re-
sponsibility among its several parts,
much as in the executive department of
the government the responsibility is
subdivided, but centers in one head
the president. In the case of man the
cerebellum presides over the cO-ordina
ton of movement, the cerebrum over
volitional life and the medulla OBJ
longata over respiration. In the case
of alcohol intoxication the influence is
first felt at the cerebellum, and the vic
tim loses that complete control OTer the
movement of his muscles which charac-
terizes him in his normal state, This Is
the reason he staggers. If the intoXica-
ton is carried further the cerebrum is
attacked and he loses control over his
thoughts, tho power of expressing him
self intelligently and, in fact, all
his intellectual faculties are be-
numbed. When this narcotiza-
ton becomes complete the man is
dead drunk In many instances the in
toxication has so affected that part of
the spinal cord which presideS over SEN
sation that surgical operations have
been performed without producing the
sensation of pain. The last portion of
the system affected 10y the potations of
the drunkard is the medulla oblongata.
When this becomes narcotized respira-
ton ceases and death ensues.
81 have gone even further than your
original question implied, and have
given you all the stages of drunkenness.
1t is when the influence of the alcohol
is felt in no other portion of the brain
than the cerebellum when the individual
is said to be drunk in his legs, but all
right in his head"

a good attendance The Secretary read
the minutes of the previous meeting,
which were adopted. Six new members
were elected. The question of holding a
luau on Her Majesty the Queens birth

sideration, and it was decided to hold a
special meeting on the 10Th instant, on
which day all the money needed for the

Forty-four years ago "The Friend"
was established i'll Honolulu, and that
fact is referred to with justifiable pride
in It's December issue. 1t has done
great and noble work on these Islands,
and for several years after its publication
is the only reliable authority on their
early history. We wish it an uninter-
rupted career in the future. The De-
cember number of ''The Friend is filled
with suggestive matter. An article on
George Eliot's Private Life" in the
Y NJ c. A. department, is in question
able taste however, and does great and
deliberate injustice to the late celebrated
Wesleyan Methodist divine, William
Morley PunshOn. This distinguished
preacher went to Canada and married
his deceased wife's sister, because Eng
lish law then forbade such unions. 1t
was legal in Canada Miss Evans,
better known as George Eliot" con-
scented to cohabit with George II. Lewes,
dispensing with the ceremony of mar
riage, although his "lawful wife, was
living and continued to live for years.
It is true that the latter was an aban-
doned woman, but Lewes was not to be
pitied in the least, he having eondOned
his wife's previous adultery and deser-
ton, and consorted with Miss Evans after
a second desertion We do not pretend
to Judge either Lewes or George
Eliot" They are both dead and may
be justified by the ''Searcher of Hearts,"
but we protest against the libel upon
the memory of the good and gifted DR..
Punshon in ''The Friend" which asks,
after pointedly contrasting his lawful
and proper marriage to the sister of his
first wife, with the Lewes-Evans adultery,
which had been Ostentatiously can
nounced": care the cases not exactly
parallel?'' With the exception of this
blot "The Friend is unexceptiOnable.

What a Newspaper Is.


The newspaper of to-day is library 1t
is an encyclopedia, poem, biography, a
history. prophecy, a directory, time
table, a romance, a cook book, a guide, a
horoscope an art critic, a political resume,
a ground plan of the civilized world, a low
priced multum in parvo. 1t is a sermon, a
song, circus, an obituary, picnic, ship
wreck, a symphony in solid BREWER, a med
ley of life and death, a grand aggregation
of mans glory and his shame. Tt is, in
short, birds-eye view Of all the magnan-
unity and meanness, the joys and griefs the
births and deaths, tho pride and poverty of
the world, and all for two cents-sometimas.
could tell you some more thing; that the
newspaper of to-day is if you hal time to
stay here and your business would not suffer
in your absence. Among others, it is long
felt want, a nine-column paper in five
column town, a lying sheet, feeble effort,
financial problem, a tottering wreck, a
political tool and 1sheriff's sale.

Cotton-seed OH in Cookery.

Cotton-seed oil is extensively manu-
featured in the south, where it is much
used in cookery, and there is no good
reason why it should not eventually
supersede hogs lard everywhere; it is
not only more economical, but it is de-
cidedly more healthful, being less liable
to authorizations. Put up in alright
cans, it is less apt to come in contact
with foreign impurities than the barrel
of lard found in the groceries One
can get lard put up in tins, which is
usually pure, but even the very best of
hogs lard does not meet the re1uire-
ments necessary to give it preference
over vegetable oils

Mexican ConsuInte.

Our BY Authority" column contains
an announcement to the effect that the
President of Mexico had re-appointed r.
w. Lame, Esq, Consul for Mexico for
the Kingdom OF Hawaii and its DEEPEN
denotes. As our readers know, Mr..
Laine has been the Consular representa-
tive of the Mexican Republic for several
years, and his disappointment became
necessary from the fact that the Ha-
waiian Consulate was done away with
by the Congress of the United States of
Mexico, in common with other Consul
ates, when retrenchment had become
absolutely necessary. Upon u reconsid-
Grafton of the whole question of diplo-
matte and consular representation
abroad, however, the Hawaiian Consul
ate was revived, and President Diaz lost
no time i'm transmitting his new COM
mission to Dir. Lame This should be
gratifying to that gentleman, it being a
special mark of the esteem in which he
is held by the Mexican Government, as
it certainly is satisfactory to his numer-
Gus friends in this Kingdom. No more
fitting appointment could we'll have been
made Heretofore it is true that the
duties of Mexican Consul were not oner-
Gus, but now that there is an absolute
certainty of the projected Chinese exi-
can line of steamers being started early
next year, touching at Honolulu, there
will be good deal of consular work to
attend to; and cur friend Laine is just
the man to do it thoroughly and well.

Notwithstanding all the objections tc
an income tax, and they are by nc
means small, it is tbs fairest tax Of all
and the tax that interfcres least with
industrial and commercial progress.
It can bo stretched Il cent or two on the
dollar In any emergency, and lowered
cent or two when the wants of the
government diminish. 1t chiefly comes
from those who are best able to pay it,
and is very light on the workingmen,
Indeed incomes less than $500 n yeal
should 90 free. If, instead of an income
tax, the desired revenue is raised from
taxes on cotton and wooden good, coal
salt, sugar or any necessary article, the
working classes have to pay nearly as
much per head as the wealthy proprio.
