AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFECTING
A NUMEROUS CLASS.

The disease commences With slight
arrangement of the stomach, but, If
neglected, it in time involves the whole
frame, embracing the kidneys, liver,
pancrcas, and, in fact, the entire glandu-
lar system, and the afflicted drags out
miserable existence until death gives
relief from suffering. The disease is
often mistaken for other complaints;
but if the reader will asked himself the
following questions, hc will be able to
determine whether he himself is one of
afflicted Have distress, pain, or diff
Guilty in breathing after catingY Is there
dull, heavy feeling attended by drow-
siness? Have the eyes u yellow tinge?
Does thick, sticky mucous gather
about the gums and teeth in the morn
ings, accompanied by disagrecable
taste? Is the tongue coatedg Is there
pains in the side and backY Is there
fulness about the right side as if the
liver were enlargingy Is there costive-
ness? Is there vertigo or dizziness when
rising suddenly from horizontal posi-
ton? Are the scCrctions from the kid
neys scanty and highly coloured, with a
deposit after standing? Docs food fer
mcnt, soon after eating, accompanied by
ilatulencc or Il bclching of gas from the
stomach? Is there frequent palpitation
of the heart? These various symptoms
may not be present at one time, but they
torment the sufferer in turn rs the dread
full disease progresses. If the case be
one of long standing, there will be Il dry,
hacking cough, attended after n time by
cXpectoration. In very advanced stages
the skin assumes dirty brownish APP
pearance, and the hands and feet are
covered by cold, sticky perspiration.
As the liver and kidneys become more
and more diseased, rheumatic pains APP
pear, and the usual treatment proves en-
tircly unavailing against this latter ago
nizing disorder. The origin of this mala-
.ly is indigestion ordyspepsia, and small
quantity of the proper medicine will
remove the disease if taken IN its incl
piency. 1t is most important that the
disease should be promptly and properly
medicine will effect a cure and even
when it has obtained a strong hold the
correct remedy should be preserved in
until every vestige of the disease is
cradieated, until the appetite has re-
turned, and the digestive organs restored
to healthy condition. The surest and
most effectual remedy for this distressing
complaints is "Seigel's Curative Syrup"
vegetable preparation sold by all
Chemists and Medicine Vendors through
out the world, and by the proprictors, A.
j. White Limited, II, Faringdon Road,
London, e. C. This Syrup strikes at the
very foundation of the disease, and
drives it, root and branch, out of the
system.

MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS.

EDITOR BuLLETIN;-l cannot agree
with you in the belief that Emusic
i'll our schools " is matter which
has been sadly neglected. In
fact, / consider it has received
proportionately large share of atten-
ton. The result is manifest in the
children's singing. You cannot 90
into n school in Honolulu without
hearing singing that is, at least,
passabiy good, and in some instances
very good. This has been often
remarked by persons from abroad.
There arc many, very many schools
of equal size, even in the United
States and Great Britain, whose
singing compares unfavorably with
that of Honolulu schools. A repre-
sentative of the Sydney Morning
Herald, gentleman of large expert
cnce of educational matters in New
South Wales, passed through here u
year OF two ago and paid flying
visit to some of our schools. He
remarked to the writer, "What sur
prises and pleases me most is the
singing of your school children.
Why, you beat us. Except in our
very best schools in our large towns
we are decidedly behind you in the
matter of singing OF course, no
one will pretend to say that our
schools are not capable of improve
ment in this direction, but at the
same time they are not so deficient
as your articles indicate. l believe
it is the duty Of the Government to
teach the children of the country to
read, write, and cipher; but l qucs-
ton if the accomplishments, of which
music is one, should also be provided
by Government. AS to the qualifi-
cations of the present teacher of
singing in the Royal and Fort Street
schools, it seems q little remarkable
that that kind of thing should be
entirely out of his line," consider
ing that the Honolulu Musical So
ciety, composed mostly of must
clans, elected him as their leader.

COMPETITION,

EDITOR BULLETIN: =" Competition
is the life of trade" Everybody
accepts this as true, and | have no
wish to dispute it. But too much
competition is the +" death of trade,
and this l believe to be just as true
as the first statement. There is such
thing as proper measure of COM
petition, productive of healthy devel-
opment of trade and benefit to the
public at large. There is also such
thing as over-competition, which
paralyZes trade and does no good TO
the people. just when the right
limit is reached may be an impossi-
Bile thing to define, but when eX-
ceeded to any appreciablc extent is
not so hard to discover. That the
latter stage has been arrived at in
Honolulu is perfectly clear to intelli-
gent observers. Low price of sugar
and other causes which have been
discussed in the newspapers are not
responsible for dlI the depression
now complained of: ovcr-competition
has much to do with it. There are
too many stores and shops for the
size of the place and number of
population-decidedly so. Compc-
tition has gone too far, to the injury
of trade and with no benefit to the
community. In fact, to the general
public it assumes the aspect of a
positive nuisance. There are SO
many people SO ready and willing
and anxious to supply your wants
that their importunate attention
becomes disagrceable. Live and
let live" is very good motto, but
/ see no eXemplification of it in one
man starting in line of business in
which another is already engaged
and is barely making living. This
has more the appearance of cut
throat. have noticed that this is
a great community for playing at
Follow my leader" A clear open
ing in some line of business exists,
but nobody seems disposed to occupy
the field. AT length some one makes
start: he is Immediately followed
by half-dozen others. One man
has suitable vehicle constructed,
at considerable expense, to supply
people in the suburbs with ice-cream
in the evenings: two or three others
must rush into the same business.
And SO on, to the end of the chapter.
Where the field is large there can be
no reasonable objection to a plenty

IT is humiliating to find some California
legislators hesitating as to what action to
take regarding needed legislation on the
school book constitutional amendment, in
order to first ascertain what effect the
legislation will probably have upon party
1t is more than humiliating. The duty the
honest man has before him is to legislate
in a manner he is convinced will best
carry into effect the amendment the peo-
pie have voted to the Constitution. His
duty is not to party, but to present youth
and posterity; to the people and his con-
science. Yet it is open talk on the streets
by Republican legislators and leaders that
| if the Democratic administration can be
brought to fail to make the new school
book system effective, it will be a capital
card for Republicans in the next State
campaign So Democrats are heard to
say that if the Republican majority can be
led to delay and cripple legislation neces-
| sary under the amendment, it will rebound
to the benefit of the Democracy. So, between
the upper and neither millstones of party
advantage legislative duty is to be ground
to dust? We do not believe it. The ordinary
instincts of common deceney Will save the
Legislature from the preparation of such
a crime. Whenever a k4i>la tor is heard
to question the policy. of tlris or that act
relative to the amendment, on the gsound
that it may iniure his party, mark him
down as man who has no regard for the
people, and whose estimation OF his duty is

SOME REMARKaBLE STATISTICS

Can statistics lie? What are we to
think? Here we, in common with the
mass Of humanity, have been holding that
liquor-drinking was the chief cause of
crime, and that tipping fills the houses
of detention and oycrcrowds the prisons
and jails Now come some cold statistics
from Kansas to dash our theory. They
show that high tide in crime was reached
during the period when prohibition was
most radically enforced and apparently
most effective. The counties where the
sale Of liquor was unchecked sent up a less
number Of convicts, proportonateIy, than
from m.st counties where enforcement OF
the law was most rigid. -Four counties
with no liquor law and population Of
117,259 sent to the State Prison last year
90 convicts while six eountic, with the
law enforced and a population of 1866,
sent up III conyicts In the language Of
the report, from prohibition population
of II5, $50 come sixteen more convicts
than from an anti-paohibition population Of
llI239." We prefer to believe that the
statistics do err. That is to say, such
statistics are not reliable when standing
alone We would prefer a group of
years to single years figures
Then, too, we wish to know something of
the relations If the several counties to
certain inhuenceS-as large cities, lines Of
travel. nayigable rivers, and, above all,
their educational standing. 1t is 50 clear
to an obseryant man, that vast quantity
of crime Is traceable directly to the undue
use OF intoxicants, and volume Of crime
nearly is large indirectly attributable to
the same source, that we are unwilling to
yield the statistical point upon the mere
showing of the Warden Of single PEN
tentia;v. We should wish to know, also
positively, whether there was abstention
from drink in the so-callcd prohibition
counties, and how they were geographically
located TO counties in which liquor was
easily progurable. Yet one must confess
that these statistics are surprising and com
mand inquiry. Certainly they make it
incumbent upon the advocates of prohibi-
ton 20 come to the defense of the theory
that the decrease Of crime is prorortioned
to the increase Of intempcrance

CHEAP FOOD SUPPLY,

Fish should be, and can he, made our
cheapest food supply. Meat foods will not
be cheaper. The tendency is still upward.
1t behooves the Legislature, therefore, 10
heed the report of the Fish Commissioners
and act very literally in the premises.
The Commission shows chat unless illicit
fishing is stopped the fish supply cannot
be kept up to the proper standard. The
sea-lions and seals consume vast amount
of fish that should come to the rivers and
bays, and price should be set upon the
heads Of these enemies of cheap food. At
least 100000 of fish should be planted in
the headwaters of the Sacramento river
every year, but to do this there must be
adequate appropriations. We believe that
whatever is given to this end viii be more
than returned to the State, in augmented
fish industries and the decline of prices in

TRANsCONTINENTAL ASSOCIATION.

Mass of Figures.

Mass of Figures.
The Transcontincntal Association got
down to work this morning but at noon
had accomplished nothing except to dis
cuss questions involving a mass of figures
and complicated methods of computation.
which would drive to distraction the As
tronomer Royal and compared with which
the computation of the size, weight and
constitution of the most distant fixed star is
a simple example in arithmetic. Although
railroading is to the uninitiated an appa-
rently simple business, it becomes more
than complicated when several railroads
join in a scramble for freight money, es-
pecially where each wants ninety per cent,
when, unfortunately, there is only 100 per
cent. TO divide. This is about the position
in which the members of the Transconti-
mental Association find themselves, and, in
consequence, the determination of the
place, or even the manufacture de moro of a
fixed star of ordinary magnitude, is a work
that can probably be done satisfactorily in
a shorter time and with less labor than will
be required to discover Il plan of di-
vision of profits that will satisfy
all the roads represented here. This
morning Vice President Cakes, of the
Northern Pacific having arrived, such q
mass of figures, accounts, plans and prOp0-
sitions was introduced into the meeting
that nothing was done. Each of the
twenty-five or thirty members, apparently
introduced his plan of division, supple
mented by tabular statements and dia-
grams. To each of these twenty-five or
thirty plans there were twenty-four or
twenty-nine protests, each protest being
supplemented by further tabular state
ments and diagrams. By noon, therefore
the association began to realize that they
had ut last made q beginning, and at once
proceeded to lunch. Mr.. Jordan, the Secre
tary, said that nothing had been done; in
fact, it was plain that nothing could be
done, and the wonder will be if anything
definite is done within a reasonable time
with the mass of matter which is before
the association. However after lunch the
association met again, and during the after
noon tried 70 make, from the data present
ed, satisfactory division of the business
done by the roads represented. When this
is done, they promise to let the public know
it's. f. Bulletin, January 14th.
