An Important Bill.
New York Press. !

Last Monday Mr.. Kelly introdr-
ced the following bill in the assembly.
A CAREFUL reading OF it will show
that it is n very important one.

nous and injurious ingredients in bc-
king powders,
Whereas, Baking Powders manu-
featured in this state, known as the
"ROYAL", alum and other Baking
Powders are advertised for sale as
absolutely pure; and,
Whereas, Official discrimination show
them to contain ammonia and eother
injurious ingredients; therefore the
people Of the State OF New York, rer-
resented in Senate and Assembly, do
eaact as follows:
Section livery can or package
OF baking powder containing ammo
MIA offered for sale in this State sh,,ll
have q conspicuous label thereon.

W. w. ERWIN has declined to serve
as a member of the state centralcom-
mittee OF the Peoples party, and he
makes known this fact in a letter
which abounds in rhetorical flourish
es. He has generally been regarded
asseeking the Alliance nomination for
U. S. senator, but with one fell sweep
he dispels all doubt in reference to
that matter by declaring: 81 shall
never accept public office" Though
he will take no active part in shaping
the future OF the new party still his
faith in it is unbroken, and he terms
it this profound, earnest and Heav-
en-led movement against the world
old forces which have enslaved the
economic liberties of men and ma
tions."

THOUSANDS OF dollars are paid out
every year by the people ofthis coun-
ty for patent medicine. Case after
case arrives consigned mostly
to parties in the country.
Now we will not say that all patent
medicines are worthless, for some are
excellent remedies in their place but
we believe that most Of the money
spent for such medicines is money
thrown away. Many OF these medi-
cines are compounded by quack doc
tors, who advertise literally, and
who have no other interest in suffer.
ing humanity than to rake in the shi-
ming dollars. To be sure, the rene
dies do not kill. for, shorn OF their
high-sounding name, the principalin-
gredient is water, and if any cures
are effected, they must be ascribed to
faith. rather than tn any medicinal
properties the nostrums possess.
The large sums OF money paid for
patent medicines would be better
spent in providing more home COM
forts, as better houses and clothing
and healthy food. The best remedy
against disease is right living. Dr..
Wattam, in a conversation the other
day attributed the great tendency to
consumption among Scandinavian
country women, to the fact that so
many live in small and poorly venti-
lated houses, made much worse by
being cut up into smaller rooms.
Unless the rooms can be made large
and airy, it is better to haye but one
room, as is customary among the
Germans. Pure air is essential to
to good health, and foul air lis a fruit
ful source OF consumption. Pure air
is cheaper than patent medicines.

The mortuary report for the
month is not pleasant reading for
those who look hopefully for the
re-vivifying of the Hawaiian race.
OF a total of 80 deaths reported, 80
were Hawaiians and Is of all other
nationalities. The death rate per
thousand of the estimated popuIa-
ton, we find average of the whole
25.54, of Hawaiian 3d., Chinese
5.14, all other nationalities 30.
Nineteen deaths of infants under
one year is a large proportion Of a
total of ffty-three, and ten unat-
tended does not look well. How
ever, in the last five years, only
one year, 1887, showed lower
death for December than this of
1890.

The flag of the United States Con
sulate was placed at half-mast Satur-
day as tribute of respect to the
memory of Hon. Alex. G. Abel, re-
Gently deceased at San Francisco.
Mr.. Abel was the first United States
Consul at this port; having received
full commission as Consul, Septem-
Der IL, 1916. Before this the Govern
ment had established only a consular
agency, held by Mr.. Hooper and
MIR. Brinsmade from 1889. Mr..
Abel died at San Francisco, Decem-
Der Both. He was a very high Ma
son, and held the Office of Secretary
of the Grand Lodge of California,
continually during the last thirty
five years, he was probably the best
posted man on Masonic iurispru-
dence in the State of California.

Mr.. W. L. Roberts Benefit . Success
"A Fashionable aud Appreciativs.
Audience Present.
An unusually large audience
turned out to hear the entertainment
rendered Mr. W. L. Roberts Thurs
day evening. The programme open
ed with scene taken from Pygma-
lion and Galatea, Mr.. Roberts as the
former and Miss Olive Berkley as
the latter. Miss Berkeley held the
enraptured attention of the audience
as she began to realize the ways of this
world. The acting of this scene
simply caused the audience to wish
the whole of the play could have
been enacted
Mrs. Berkeley was heartily recalled
after reciting a selection, and when
it came to the vocal selections given
by the Hawaiian Quintet Club,
Honoluluans showed their apprecia-
ton of home talent by insisting upon
their giving more than the program
me called for.
Miss Nolte in singing "Love's
JOY" proved herself equal to what is
expected of her by Honolulu audi
ence, which is by no means little.
She-received an encore, as also did
Mr.. Allen after singing Fiddle
and l."
One of the principal features of
the entertainment, was the music
furnished by Prof. Ordway. The
audience could not get enough play
ing from him, and from the Quin-
tet Club.
Mr.. Roberts recitation showed
what is already known of his
strength and force of acting; in the
" Nan, the Good for Nothing" he
performed his part perhaps the best
of all. j. II. Sims sustained his role
of carpenter with credit, while Miss
Berkeley as Man," simply could not
help capturing the hearts of the gar
dener, the carpenter, the engineer
and the audience, too.
1t was an entertainment through
out that pleased all who heard it,and
it was gratifying to see the large
number who went.

Shortly after the fisherman had

DIR. KoCH's recent discoveries
have startled the whole world, and
though some may attempt to decry
the value of his remedies, there
can be no doubt that his investiga-
lions and discoveries are in the
right direction, following in the
track of Jenner and Pasteur in dis
covering antidotes for smallpox
and hydrophobia, by inoccuIation
of certain prepared lymphs. Now
DR.. Koch is studying the leprosy
disease as well as consumption,
and recent telegram, dated
Madrid December 26th states that
"Two persons suffering from lep-
rosy have been inocculated with
lymph according to the method of
Dr.. Koch. The doctors at the hos
pital where the lepers are being
treated report that the patients
have been rapidly improving since
the new remedy was applied"
1t behooves the Board of Health
to take immediate steps for ascer-
tanning how far the remedies refer
red to have been successfully tried,
and for procuring some for testing
their virtue on the patients here or
on Molokai. 1t may be that the
door of hope is even now being
opened for the relief and cure of
the poor inmates of our public
hospital.

The quarterly statement of the
Minister of Finance, showing the
Receipts and Expenditures of the
Hawaiian Government for the three
months ending December 81, 1890,
will be found in this paper. The
statement last issued left a balance
in the Treasury October LIST of
s38O,355.49. The receipts have
been, s775,O57. 45, making a total
income of 81, 155,412.94.
The two principal sources of the
increased income have been, taxes,
S350,587.11 and Customs receipts
S193,771.89. The Customs service
shows large increase over 1889, the
total receipts for the year having
exceeded six hundred thousand
dollars. The expenditures for the
quarter foot up large sum-S517,-
1886, while the balance cash on
hand is very nearly the same
amount-s577, 643.38.
The public finances are thus
shown to be in a satisfactory con-
dition, as compared with the state
ments of the two previous years,
