TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Star contained last night an
interview with Minister Willis.
1t IS pleasing to see that the re-
preventative of the United States
has expressed himself in emphat-
ic language in regard to any
eventual disturbance which
might be created here. The
minister might be misinformed
bv the adherents Of the provision
al government, but it will not
be long before he realizes that
there has been no danger what
ever of any overt acts or disturb
ance being caused or created
by the Hawaiians, and the for
eigners who have remained loyal
to the constitutional government,
The government has constantly
endeayored to create uneaslness
and trouble in the community
by the display of armed men, and
a general show of militarism.
That they have neither succeeded
in stirring up bad blood, nor
been able to entangle the Hawai-
ians in any row or
fracas is altogether due
to the determination on the part
of all our loyal citizens to
patiently await the will of the
United States. Those who state
that the Hawaiians are plotting
or intending to commit arson or
plumber simply tell what they
know themselves to be barefaced
lies. The only danger to the
safety and peace of this commu-
nity rests In the arming and gath
ering by the government OF
most undesirable element OF
strangers recently drifted ashore
on this beach in the hope that
there might be fish for them in the
Hawaiian troubled waters. We
have no doubt that the minister
with his great experience and
clear Judgment has realized that
fact before now.

Mark TWAIN as Reporter.

While Mark was a reporter on
the Enterprise in the mining
region of Nevada, he was fond of
manufacturing items of the hor-
rible style, but on one occasion
he overdid this business, and the
disease worked its own cure.
He wrote an account of terrible
murder. supposed to have occur
red at Dutch Nick s. a station
on the Carson River. This story
among other "reminiscences Of
Twain. is told by a writer in
California, as follows:
He made a man cut his wife
throat and those OF his nine
children, after which diabolical
deed the murderer mounted his
horse. cut his own throat from
ear 10 ear. rode to Carson City
"a distance of three and hal
niles and fell dead in front o.
Pete Hopkins saloon. All the
California papers copied tht
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-11-17

The minister according to his
own statement has certain in
structions which he has to carry
out. and he states himself that
absolutely nothing can change the
policy of President Cleveland in
regard to Hawaii. How the
minister is to carry out his instruc-
tions or when is not the business of
ANYBODY. The high standing and
reputation for sagacity and dis
erection which Minister Willis
enjoys in his own country should
be a sufficient guarantee to all
parties here that whatever method
houses or whatever delays he con-
siders necessary in carrying out
his instructions are for the best
interests of Hawaii-nei and the
Hawaiian people. And these,
who have been noted for their
great patience during the last
period of weary waiting and
suffering viii continue to wait
in peace and quiet till the
hour comes when the United
States representative is ready to
act.

comment upon 1t as being the
most shocking occurrence of the
kind ever known on the Pacific
Coast. OF course, rival Virginia
City papers at once denounced
the item as cruel and idiotic
hoax" They showed how the
publication of such shocking
and reckless falsehoods dis
graced and injured the State and
they made it as sultry' aspossi-
BILE for the Enterprise and its
fool reporter" When the
California papers saw all this and
found they had been sold, there
was howl from Siskiyou to San
Diego. Some papers demanded
the immediate discharge of the
author of the item by the Enter
prise proprietors. They said
they would never quote another
line from that paper
while the reporter who wrote the
shocking item remained on its
force. All this worried Mark as
l had never before seen him wor-
ried. Said he: l am being
burned alive on both sides of the
mountains. We roomed to-
gether, and one night when the
persecution was hottest, he was
so distressed that he could not
sleep. He tossed, tumbled, and
groaned aloud. So | set to work
to comfort him. Mark, said l,
never mind this bit of a gale,
it will soon blow itself out. This
item of yours will be remembered
and talked about when all your
other work is forgotten. The
murder at Dutch Nick's viii be
quoted years from now as the big
gest sell of these times
As it proved, he was not dis
charged, and in less than month
people everywhere were laughing
and joking about the murder at
Dutch Nick's.
When Mark wrote the item he
| read it over to me, and | asked
MIN how he was going to wind it
up so as to make it plain that it
was a mere invention.
"Oh, it is wound up now was
the reply. 1t is all plain
enough. | have said that the
family lived in little cabin at
the edge of the great pine forest
near Dutch Nick's, when every
body knows there's not pine
tree within ten miles of Nick's.
Then l make the man ride nearly
four miles after he has cut his
throat from ear to ear, when any
fool must see that he would fall
IL =. - ..o,y,c,,t -
But the people were all
so shocked at first with
the Wholesale throat-cut-
ting that they did not stop to
think of these points. Marks
whole object in writing the story
was to make the murderer go to
Pete Hopkins saloon and fall
dead in front of it--Pete having
in some way offended him. L
could never quite see how this
was to hurt Pete Hopkins. Mark
probably meant to insinuate that
the murderer had been rendered
insane by the kind of liquor sold
over the Hopkins bar, or that he
was one of Pete's bosom friends.

dred in Nevada can remember

HONOR THE BRAVE.

The fight the silver senators are
making is a grand one Compelled to
meet in a city impregnated from core
to rind with intense hatred Of silver
and Its advocates pelted morning and
evening with the sings and n of
the great newspapers Of the great
Atlantic cities; covered with cowardly
insult and facing an administration
the strongest that has held the White
House since the war, they meet in
daily session, and, sparing neither
physical comfort nor mental strain,
they pile facts, logic and rhetoric, like
Pelion upon Ossa, in defense OF the
peoples rights and the American
home.
All honor to such Senators as Stew
art, Teller, PETER, Wolcott, Jones,
Kyle, Cockrell, Vance, Allen, Walthall
and the score of other senators who
stand as a breakwater against the de-
huge of misery in which the goldbug
press and the gofdbug President would
drown the country All honor to the
brave men who, placing duty before
submission, stand in the middle OF the
free coinage road and will not be
budged from it until concessions are
secured or exhaustion ends the fight.

DIPTHTHERIA.
B.

AS theesdread disease diphtheria has
again appeared in several localities in
thesState, with the usual fatal results,
the following rules for its manage
ment, from Halls Journal of Health,
are worthy of consideration:
First, a strip OF linen or cotton fabric,
about eight inches wide, folded several
times, and long enough to reach from
ear to ear, should be wrung out of ice
water (f in winter and if in summer
put directly upon ice, and then appli-
ed externally TO the throat, and as fast
az one cloth gets warm another should
be ready to take its place. If the child
complains of being cold, its feet and
hands should be bathed in hot wa.
ter. When the child is very young,
it may be readily ascertained if it be
cold or not by feeling its hands and
head. Under no circumstances should
hot applications be made TO the throat.
If the child is old enough it may be
given broken ice to suck constantly,
even if the water is spit out. The cold
applications inhibit the growth of the
microbes. The patients hands should
be washed frequently-and here let
me say 80 should those OF attendants
and the vessel used for the purpose
should not be used for any n else.
The patients clothing needs protec-
ton in front, reaching as far as the
knees. The little patient, if old
enough, will want to spit, and for a
spittoon a little wooden box with an
inch of sawdust on the bottom is
capital. Fresh sawdust should be sup
piled at least once a day-three time
a day would be better-and that
which has been used should be burned
when the change is made. If there
are any flies about, the box should be
kept covered, and only uncovered
when the child wants to spit; other
wise, the flies alighting upon the spit
tie would carry the germs Of the
disease with them and then alighting
upon the familys' food and drink,
necessarily infect them, and thus
indirectly infect the whole family.
This is by no'means chimerical, but a
we'll established fact. All clothing and
bed clothing that come in contact
with a diphtheria patient contain the
germs of the disease. For this reason
all such clothing should be disinfect-
ed, and aired or washed before it is
used again.
People who live in new counties are
liable to be Frustrated by malarial fevers.
Inhabitants of cities, by reason OF bad
drainage and unwholesome odors, suffer
from similar diseases. Ayers Ague Cure
ia warranted a specific for all malarial
poisons.
