| afflicted. The surrounding towns and
especially Philadelphia came to the aid
of the place and carried it through A
| commission of physicians made a very
careful examination into the causes of
the disease and their report established
beyond doubt that infected water caused
| the trouble. A small mountain stream
| furnished the village with drinking
water. 1t was supposed to be pure and
good, but the discovery was made that
man had been Ill with fever in a house
right up In the stream. Ofal and other
impure matter from his sick room was
emptied directly into this stream by the
ignorant and thoughtless people in the
house. The stream apparently ran pure,
it was clear and cold, in short distance,
but it bore rank poison and the result
was over a hundred deaths and the
breaking up of many a happy home.
What was thus clearly shown to have
caused the trouble in that town is no
doubt equally the cause, indirectly, if
not directly, of sickness and death in
many other places. A few years ago
Prof. Van Slyke read paper before the
Honolulu Social Science Club upon the
water supply of Honolulu. He had
made a series of very careful and
thorough analyses of water from the
Nuuana stream at various points and of
Makiki water, besides of several samples
of artesian water. To the surprise of
every one of his hearers, not even the |
artesian waters were found to be pure. |
Some of the analyses showed the pres |
ence OF very dangerous elements in our |
drinking water, in the case of that from
to such an extent as to render it |
unsafe to drink at ALL Such facts as |
these are very unpleasant, but they have
to be faced. If we were Mohammedans |
we might we'll say, " God wills it! F." and
drink till poisoned to death. But as we
call ourselves enlightened and ingenious
we shall probably boil and filter our
water before drinking. It is not unlikely
hat the epidemic of typhoid fever which
invaded Honolulu in the winter of 1879
50 was owing to an unusually dangerous
of the water of that time.

Chinese fellow-citizens take an erroneous
view of the attitude adopted on the Chi
nese question by men of position and
understanding in this community. I'm
doubtedly much drivel and nonsense has
been written and spoken on the Chinese
| question by men who can only find room
in their brains for one idea at time.
They see, what unfortunately is only too
plain to be seen all around us, that the
white man, and especially the white arti-
Fan, is being driven out of the country
by the competition of the Chinaman.
They have only one remedy to offer
they would drive the Chinese away in
order to leave room for the white men
who are here and for others whom they
would like to see come. But the Chi
nese are SO numerous and have got such
a hold on the industries of the country
that the use of such drastic remedies is
impossible. They do not know how to
get over the difficulties which surround
the matter, they propose this and that,
and it all ends in their getting exasper-
ated at the obstacles of all sorts which
they encounter and growing loudly angry
in consequence. But the majority of
people are not like this. They want this
country for a white mans country and
they really mean TO have it so, but they
desire no injustice to any one. All that
makes these islands different from and
superior to the other archipelagoes of the
Pacific is the white mans doing. Their ]
religion, their manners and laws, their
trade and their industries the white man
brought here. 1t was even he who first |
brought the Chinaman here. Rejecting |
white men look on with regret and also |
with feeling akin to displeasure at the
present state of things which threatens
to render the country Chinese and not
haole in its character. They mean to
put stop to the influences that are at
work in that direction, and to check the
tendencies which are changing every
Thing and undoing the work of more
han half century of white colonial
ion OF Hawaii. But before everything
hey desire to be just. Justice does not
lemand that they should let things go
IN as they are and have been going on.
Justice does not say "throw up the
ponge and let the Chinaman swamp
'ou out" After all the Chinaman is
lere on sufferance-a sufferance which |
lis own nation extends to no man, not
ven to her nearest neighbors. They
re bound to accept the situation, and I
heir leading men ought to. cooperate
Nth the haole in establishing such
equations for the Chinese who are
ere, and for excluding those who are {
OF here, as will put an end to the usurp-
ton of the country and its industries
y the Chinese to the detriment of the /,
'hlte man, who was the first conner, and @
no made the islands what they are. q
Te believe that many of the more intel =
gent Chinese see this as plainly as we .
D. It will be well for both parties and [
specially for the Chinese if these gen a
emen will take those of their country
ZEN in hand who are disposed to be y
lrbulent and unreasonable, and teach t.
lem the common sense view of the
lestions at issue.

Mr.. John Ferguson, a well known res
ident OF Ceylon and newspaper propri-
etor addressed a letter 10 the secretary of
the Anti-opium Society on the value Of
sulphate Of quinine, or even the inferior
alkaloids in cinchona bark, as prophy-
lactics and tonios, especially IN low-lying
and malarial districts, where people are

parts OF the world IN due. says Mr.. Fer
guson, 10 the people being subject 10
low type OF fever. This is largely the
case in China. In England IL has been
shown that the consumption OF opium,
chiefly in the form Of laudanum, Is very
largely in the fen districts and along the
lower banks OF the Thames, especially
about Gravesend. A Lincolnshire vii
lage druggist stated some years ago, in
letter published In the newspapers,
that he sold about two gallons OF laud-
anum per month retail, besides sixteen 10
twenty ounces Of opium itself, mostly
10 women OF the poor classes, who must
pinch hemselvesseriously In many ways
TO purchase the luxury. Many, he said,
consumed an ounce Of opium a week,

cause Of this craving. according 10 Mr..
Ferguson, is that the people live in low
and malarial localities, and he suggests
that quinine removes the craving and
acts as substitute for laudnum. He
quotes from Mr.. Colquhoun's travels in
China TO show that the Chinese, even In
remote inland districts along the Canton
River, know the efficacy of quinine in
superseding the need for OPIUM. and
possibly in curing the taste and desire
for u. A few years ago the prices OF
quinine and the cinchona aIkaloids were
prohibitory to poor people, but the culti-
walton Of the plant in India, Ceylon and
Java has reduced the price Of the best

THE READING STRIKE
Before the House Committee on Commerce
ence OF Opinion Existing.

WASHINGTON, January 2O.-The sub
ject of the Reading Railroad strike came
up before the House Committee on Com
merce to-day, through a request by the
subcommittee, to which had been re-
ferred the Anderson resolution provid-
ing for an inquiry into the strike, that it
be discharged from further considera-
ton of the matter. As reason for max
ing this request the subcommittee
stated that it regarded the subject as one
of such gravity as to demand considv ra-
tion at the hands Of the full committee.
After a short discussion the request was
granted, and an earnest debate ensu ed
upon the merits Of the proposition.
1t appears that the committee is
pretty evenly divided. a number Of its
members favoring an immediate inquiry
into the strike, while perhaps as many
more take the ground that if the strike
concerns anything more than private
interests and is properly q subject for
investigation by the Government, tbes
inquiry should be made by the Inter-

SAkGUlNARY FIGHT.
-Four Killed and the Sheriff Wounded in an At.emp,
at EIectmens

SAN DIEGO, January 20.-A year ago a
rancher in Moosa Canyon, named Lewis
Stone, went East. During his absence a
family named Goens, consisting of a
widow, two sons and a daughter, took
possession of his ranch and cabin. On
Stones return, he instituted legal pro-
ceedings to eject the parties. His title
was confirmed, and last Wednesday,
when the sheriff went to take possession,
the whole family of Goens fired at the
officers with their revolvers. The sheriff
snatched a revolver from Mrs. Goen, who
was at the door. She seized a gun and
shot him in the face. In the melee
which followed citizen named Reid
was fatally wounded by Perry Goen. A
married daughter of Mrs. Goen was acci-
dentally shot in the neck by her brother.
and fell dead. Perry Goen is shot
in the head and arm fatally. His sister
and brother were dead when the officers
retreated with their wounded, and Mrs.
Goen holds the fort, declaring she will
not leave the place alive.
