THE DAILY
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1883.

SATURDAYS proceedings in the Legis-
lature had something of a sensational
nature. The Attorney-General read a
resolution (printed elsewhere), charging
Mr.. Kamauoha of South Kona, and Mr.
Kauhi OF Eva, with bribery, in connec-
ton with the anti-Chinese amendment
A Committee of Inquiry was appointed
and was to give the matter a thorough
and searching examination. The
charge made is the gravest possible
against a legislator. If true the guilty
parties should be ANONYMOUSLY expelled
and the honor of the House thereby vim
dictated. If they are innocent they
equally with the House require a search
ing investigation that they may be
cleared. If there is guilt then others
out of the House are guilty, and it is to
be hoped that the course of justice will
not stop inside of the doors of the Legis-
lature. Hawaii, especially reformed
Hawaii, should brook no venality and

Status of the Chinese Amendment in
View of it's Corrupt Defeat.
Mr.. EDITOR: Pertinent to the hour
and in view of the developments being
made in the legislative inquiry into the
bribery cases, and the facts already
established, l would like to inquire:
What is to be the result of this investi-
cation as directly affecting the interests
of large majority of the eligible voters
of this Kingdom? Are we to see a re-
consideration of the action which has
been consummated and made possible by
the frauds that are being brought out
Or are we to be told once more that the
law will not permit of justice being done
to those whose utilization is necessary to
perpetuating the Government?
1t would seem that these developments
are a godsend to those of our Oahu
Mobiles and Representatives who voted
for indefinite postpOnement, giving them
an opportunity of redeeming themselves
from the error of their ways, in the eyes
of their constituents, by voting the will
of the people. Ii after the demonstra-
ton at the late convention, the adoption
by that body of a strong anti-Chinese
plank for their platform, and the result
ing election of the Reform candidate on
that platform, those members should
still be in doubt as to their duty, let
them call a meetingof their constituents,
and l for one will gladly abide by the
result of such an interview between re-
representatives. and people.

must feel prouder than ever of Gentle

ments of the latter's childlike and

HILO NEWS LETTER.
The Reverend Volcano ExpIoiter Re-
turned-VariOus Items from the
Rainy Village.

Rev. f. P. Baker left Hilo July 9th and
returned on August 9th, visiting the
various lava flows of Mauna Loa and
other places of interest. He went to
Puma across the track of Kau desert on
the lower road and on the summit of
Mauna Loa; to the source OF the 1880
and 1881 flow; to the source of the 1852
flow, across the south flank of Mauna
Loa to Kahuku, visiting the source of the
1868 and 1887 flows; going to sand hills
below Kahuku and through Kona, pas
sing between Mauna Loa and Hualalea,
visiting the temple of Uni, and thence
reaching Kalaiha, thence to Hitchcock's
trail and so back to Hilo.
Mr. Baker got the height of the sources
of the 1910 flow, 1,723 feet, and made
the descent of MakaOpuhi crater, 900 feet
deep. He says he would not care to do it
again. No one, as far as known, had
ever been down so far. He went down
twice into the crater MOkuaweOweo, and
says that since he descended it i'll 1885
there has been a new crater formed in it,
which he saw in 1887, the time OF the
last flow He now made the whole cir
cult of the crater ten or twelve times.
The southern loop was in action in 1880,
1881 and 1887. No one as far as known
has ever visited this loop, which is very
rich in minerals Mr.. Baker could not
get the thermometer under 20. There
was good cold water but no snow there,
although ice was in the cracks.
The 1852 flow is about 900 feet below
the 1881 flow. Mokuaweoweo consists
of a series of craters arranged along
fissure that runs n. E. and S. w. The
historic flows have come out OF the two
ends-never at the sides. The lava that
came out of the southern end is Olivin-
tic, that out OF the northern end wholly
without that element. The core of the
1887 flow is rich in above mentioned
mineral Found the sand hills formed
by the 1868 flow to be largely solid.
Mauna LOa has on the west poured down
immense al flows, while on the east it
has built out an immense spur towards
Hilo and Puma.
The temple of Uni consists of eight
piles of lava. Six stand for the districts.
One about ten feet high is situated be-
tween Mauna Loa, Hualalae and Mauna
Kea, on a vast plain-a very impressive
place with grand perspective. Huala-
lea is the mountain that TANKS Mauna
LOa on the west, Kilauea the mountain
that TANKS Mauna Loa on the east. The
trip was full of dangers, but paid well.
Mr.. Baker had splendid kanaka guide
and an assistant.
There is great competition among the
butcher shops of Hilo, and some are GO
ing from house to house with boxes of
meat to retail. The last shop opened
the eX-Sheriff, Major Baker, is interested
in, making quite a change in his dress.
He means business.

QUIET WAYS ARE BEST.

What's the use OF worrying.
OF hurrying,
And scurrying,
Every body hurrying
And breaking up their rest!
When every thing is teaching Us
Preaching, and beseeching US,
To settle down and end the fuss,
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down In showers
A blessing brings TO thirsty flowers,
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup
There's ruin in the tempest's path;
There's ruin in . voice Of wrath;
And they alone arc blest
Who early learn 70 dominate
Themselves, their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best
Nothing gained BY worrying,
By hurrying,
And scurrying;
With frettin1 and with f1urryinH
The tempers often lost.
And in pursuit Of some small prize
We rush ahead, and are not wise,
And find the unWonted exercise
A fearful price has cost.
IT'S better far to Join the throng
That do their duty right along;
Reluctant they to raise fuss
Or make themselves ridiculous.
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength Is always in reserve,
And nobly stands each test;
And every day. and all about,
BY scenes within, and scenes without,
We can discern, with ne'er doubt,
That quiet ways are best

The Thirteen Elements Of Which tho HUI.
man Body Is Composed.
Chemistry informs us that man is
composed of thirteen elements, or
what are now considered elements, of
which five are gases, so light that
when our bodies are decomposed, re-
solved into their original elements,
they will pass off into the atmosphere.
unless absorbed into other compounds
in the earth. Eight of these elements
are solids, which would remain as
ashes were our bodies burned, or form
a component part of the earth when
the human body slowly decays.
These gases of which mans body is
composed. although SO light and in
tangible in their normal condition. can
be greatly compressed SO as to occupy
but a small portion of their original
space: in fact, all OF them, unless pOssib-
ly hydrogen, have been condensed into
liquid forms. Take a man weighing
l54 pounds, and 81 pounds of his
weights oxygen. the volume of which,
at ordinary temperature. in a free
state, would exceed $50 cubic feet.
There would be less than Is pounds of
hydrogen in body of the above
weight, but in free state it would oc-
cupy space of $500 cubic feet. BY
this we can see what light gas n.y.
drogen is; in fact, the Gghtest of all
known Substances
Nitrogen, one of the other gases, in
a man of 154 pounds would weigh less
than four pounds, but to obtain that
four pounds costs the farmer much
more than all the other gases in the
body. But it is indispensable. being
very important element in brains,
nerves, muscle, hair, etc. In fact,
none of the cells in the structure of
the human body can be constructed
without nitrogen. The nitrogen in
their composition enables them to re-
sist combustion, which results from the
chemical union of the carbon and
hydrogen in the body with the oxygen
inhaled in the lungs from the atmos-
phere. There are two other gases in
man, chlorine and fiu0rine, the former
about twenty-six ounces. the latter
three and quarter ounces.
OF the solids. carbon is the most
abundant, weighing about fOrty-eight
pounds. 1t is found in its greatest
purity in the diamond, but also forms
most of the substances called plum
bago, or black lead, and charcoal.
Phosphorus is an important ingre-
dent. and weighs about twenty
six ounces. Sulphur makes up about
three and quarter ounces. These
three are called metallOides. The
most abundant metal is calcium,
more than three pounds; next pOtas-

two and quarter ounces, and iron one

THE ST. JOSEPH DISTRICT.

Major II. r. w. Hartwig. the Republi-
can nominee for congress in the Demo
cratic district of st. Joseph, Missouri, is
making a wonderful canvass it would
seem. The latest thing we have seen
from his campaign is a card about two
by three feet square, containing the pic
lures of Cleveland and Harrison and
Thurman and Morton in the corners and
picture of himself in the center. On
either side is printed account of the
many important things the major has
done for st. Joe and of the honorable
positions to which he has been hereto
fore elected by his fellow citizens. The
major is undoubtedly one of the Evest
and most enterprising men OF the Mis-
souri, Valley and he is shaking up his
district in fashion that is undoubtedly
making him votes every day. He has
been a resident of St. Joseph for almost
third of a century and is today one of
her leading and wealthiest citizens. If
Missouri would take to sending such men
as Hartwig to congress and to electing
such men to her gubsrnational chair, it
wouldn't be long before the state would
double her population and wealth,
