Who has been cured by the physicians of the
Polypathic Medical Institute, 42O Penn avenue.
He says: MY health began to fail nine
years ago. At first 1 noticed that my urine
became high colored and scanty at times,
Then for few days it would be profuse
and light colOred. I was then taken with
rheumatic pains all over my body. 1 had a
constant dull, aching pain in my back. About
every 10 days my head would so pain me
that 1 frequently would go into an unconsci-
Gus condition and falling of my chair
would have to be carried to my bed, where 1
would be compelled to remain for days. AS
my disease further advanced had to void my
urine very often. and which was attended with
great pain, and also had much pain about the
bladder. My appetite left me. 1 had belching
of gas and bad taste in my mouth. My
mouth and throat would fill with Shiny mucus,
and tight, hacking cough set in, with an ach-
ing and burning sensation in my breast, night
sweats further reduced me and became very
weak. was compelled to break several en-
gagements, my health not allowing me to fol-
low my usual business. had received treat
ment from several prominent physicians. but
received no benefit Being advised to consult
Dr. Shafer, of the Poypathic Medical Insti-
tute, in regard to my case, did So and finding
their charges very reasonable, l began treat
ment and am glad to state that have been en-
tirely cured of my disease.

THE CIVIL SERVICE BILL.

The Civil Service Bill, which is
now being considered by the
House, has aroused a storm of
opposition coming chiefly from the
native members. This opposition is
not aimed at the details of the
measure, at it's practical defects and
shortcomings, but at It's underlying
principle. 1t is a direct attack
upon the merit system, as opposed
to the spoils system. The frank
ness with which Kahookano, Ma
wahi and others announce their
adherence to the Jacksonian
maxim, "To the victors belong
the spoils," leaves, in point of cam
dor at least, nothing to be desired,
whatever may be objected to it in
other particulars. The now famous
Flanagan of the Chicago Conven-
ton with his inquiry: I" If we are
not here for the Offices, what are
we here for ?" was not more ex-
pllcit than his Hawaiian disciples
have been.

like the United States where the spoils OF
office are almost the object: it is great
thing that any such bill has been appleo,
and only man OF Mr.. Cleveland's lndom-
liable courage could have done it. think
we ought to give the bill trial. In TINS
Section 6, however, / think the teacner
and police officer should be struck OUT.
The Civil Service Commission might not
be competent to examine teachers, as
they would probably be business men:
In the police force there must be strict
discipline, and to maintain this it ought
to be possible to dismiss man imme-
diately, and not wait for the Commls-
sioner to pass in his case. A policeman
is about like a soldier, and must be
under the direct control of his superior
officer.
Rep. Nawahi thought it would be hard
to get commissioners to fill the bill.
They would have to be good soldiers,
lawyers, professors, Jack OF all trades,
etc., to examine persons in the different
branches. We should have to induce
angels to come down from heaven, and
then we should have to pay them very
high salary. The bill would not work.
The Commissioner might not know any
more than the Judge on Hawaii, who
had been alluded to. The bill was i'm
practicable. In the United States, where
one party came i'm the other had to 60
out. They seemed to get along very
we'll. The practice now is that after all
the foreigners have got positions who
want them, the native Hawaiians shall
get a chance if there is anything left.
There are plenty OF removals, but no
natives appointed. I don't believe the
bill will make any change in that.
This country is like a sailboat, not like
great ship-of-war. The bill may work
very we'll in large country, but we don't
want it.
Rep. Kauhi said the bill was mixed
and cumbersome, and he could not un-
derstand it. There were some members
who thought their duty was not done
unless they had brought in bill.
That must be the reason why this bill
was brought in. So the Noble from
Maui (CornwelD cudgeled his brains and
brought forth the rabbit bill. If we keep
on till '92, some member will bring in
bill to exterminate centipedes, and In
1894 to get rid of the yellow-jackets.
Noble Marsden asked the gentleman
to grant him the floor one moment, as
he wished to call his attention to very
important fact, viz, that the bill was a
long one, and it was II o'clock. He
moved to adjourn.
Rep. Kauhi said he would make the
motion himself
The House adjourned.
