THE TREATY.
President Cleveland Recommends
Seven Years Extension Of the
Hawaiian Treaty.

In his annual message to Congress
President Cleveland refers as follows to
the treaty with Hawaii
l express my unhesitating conviction
that the intimacy of our relations with
Hawaii should be emphasized. AS a
result of the Reciprocity Treaty of
1873, those Islands on the highway Of
Oriental and Australian traffic are
virtually an outpost of American com
merce and a stepping stone to the
growing trade of the Pacific. The
Polynesian Island groups have been so
absorbed by other and more powerful
governments that the Hawaiian Islands
are left almost alone in the enjoyment
of their autonomy, which it is inn
portant for us should be preserved
Our treaty is now terminable on one
years notice, but propositions to abro-
gate it will, in my judgment be i'll adj
vised. The paramount influence we
have there acquired, once relinguished,
could only with difficulty be regained,
and valuable coign of vantage for
ourselves might be converted into a
stronghold for our commercial COMPETE
tors. earnestly recommend that the
existing treaty stipuIations be extended
for further term of seven years A
recently signed treaty to this end is
now before the Senate The import
ance Of Geographic communication be
tween those Islands and the United
States should not be overlooked.
SAN FRANCISCO PRESS COMMENTS.
The Alta says: "The message ex-
plicitly advises the renewal of the Ha-
waiian treaty, backing the recommend
alton with reasoning based in interna-
tional interests which are unanswerable
This will greatly please the commercial
and shipping and lumber interests Of
this coast, which have in few years
brought the Hawaiian trade to aclose
second with that of Japan"
The Chronicle has this snarl: "Mr.
Cleveland INDUCES in good deal OF
stale nonsense regarding the Sandwich
Islands, styling them the 'outposts
and Stepping stones Of our commerce
in the Pacific Ocean, and urges the
formal extension of the Reciprocity
agreement for term of seven years.

Danger in Nostrums.

Mr. Hutchinson, an eminent Lon
don physician, has recently called atten-
ton to the fact that a vast deal of
harm is being done by the use of pa
tent medicine containing phosphorus.
The doctor reports case in which a
woman took daily doses of certain
popular phosphorus pill for two years
for the relief of a real or fancied dis
ease of the brain. AT the end of that
time, she was found to be suffering
with disease of the bone Of the lower
jaw, and it was necessary to remove a
considerable portion ofthe jaw. Whether
the disease of the brain was cured or
not was not stated. This is but one
illustration in thousands which might
be given, that show, in the clearest
manner possible, the folly and the
danger OF INDUCING in the pastime Of
swallowing patent medicines.

The Air Bath.

The air has q very soothing effect
upon the body when allowed to come
in contact with the entire surface. 1t
answers very valuable purpose when
a water bath is impossible, or when the
patient is too feeble to endure the APP
plication of water A sleepless person
will often fall into sound and refresh
ing slumber after walking few min
utes in his room with the whole body
exposed to the air. The effects of
night labor upon literary people may
be partially counter balanced by the
air bath. Benjamin Franklin was
accustomed to pursue his writing to a
late hour after divesting himself of his
clothing, and he recommended the
practice to others compelled to labor
late with the pen.

Threatened Wars.

A London despatch of December
18th is as follows: Prominent Turkish
officials, opposed to the Sultan's Turko-
Russian policy, declared last night that
the Porte fears crisis at any moment
in Bulgaria, leading inevitably to Rus
sian intervention and a European war
in the spring. The outlook of hostil'-
ties between France and Germany is
spoken of as impossible to ward off
longer than the coming spring The
Turkish officials profess now to have
certain information that Austria will
take the field against Russia, aided at
sea by England. Gen. Won Moltke's
speech has cast a gloom over all the
European capitals. Gen. Boulanger is
stated to have privately declared HIM
self in favor of action in preference to
delay, affording Germany or France
time to increase their military strength.
He prefers taking the initiative by
striking the first blow and invading
Germany. Immense military prepare
tons, respecting which great secrecy
is observed, are going on at the French
arsenals.
The Porte has advised the Bulga-
rian Regency to accept Prince Nicho-
las of Mingrolia as the successor ia
Prince Alexander, giving as the reason
that his election is "the only means to
pacify Bulgaria"
A sitting of the German Frontier
Defense Commission December 4th
presided over by Emperor William, is
said to have been practically council
of war.

KApALAMA, Dec. rath, 1886.


DEAR Mr.. HoRN-In reply to your query
with regard to the handsome cake donated by
you to the Priory fair yesterday week, have
to state that was one of the gentlemen (Mr.
F. L. Clarke being the other), who assisted in
cutting up and distributing the same to the
twelve subscribers, of whom was one.
The cake was certainly not given TO my
Reformatory School Band boys, and whoever
says so is guilty Of an untruth.
H. r. II. Princess Likslike very kindly un-
dertook to see that the boys were amply pro-
vided with refreshments, and they had all
they wished for.
The cake was not only very handsome
one as a work Of art, but was exceedingly
tasty and delicious.
You are,,at liberty 10 make use of this in
any way you may think fit.
am, dear sir, yours, etc.,
