DR., Surmann has thrown down
his glove to the medical members of
the Board OF Health, by writing to
them that the recent epidemic was
not the Asiattc cholera, If the Ger
man doctor is right the port physi-
clan and the other members OF the
board are severely to blame for hav.
ing stigmaiized Honolulu as a cho-
lera infected port, and thereby
causing great distress, hardship, and
If DR.. Surmann is
wrong and we did have the Asiatic
cholera, the Board of Health doc
tors ought to be publicly censured
for having, through their neglect,
allowed that dread disease to enter
the country. In the meantime it
will be interesting to sit by, aud
watch the fur fly, when the doctors
get into the professional wool Of
each other.

The Acknowledgement leaves for a
deserved rest, and although some
body thinks that it would have been
better for him to go to California,
and there explain all he knows about
cholera, instead Of going to New
Zealand, nobody grudges him the
trip. We fail to see why the Gland
business" is used as an excuse for
sending Mr.. Smith abroad in an Off
cial capacity and on public sub
sidy. There is no reason why
he shouldn't make a journey, and
there was no necessity to invest him
with the sham of public mission.-
Dole's land bill, although mutilated,
and in it's present shape as faulty as
the original, has been passed and all
the knowledge to be gained in New
Zealand by Mr.. Smith will not assist
in improving the law. The depar-
ture of Mr.. Smith however proves
that the authorities of Hawaii do
not entertain any fear Of another
outbreak of the epidemic and that
an official Endorsement has been
placed on the statement that it is
stamped out.

The time for squabbling and dis
putting as to the Shows" and
where's" and "whys," the recent
epidemic came is now in order, and
the public will probable get sick
and tired before these important
questions are settled which they
never will be.

One day the Bulletin wants har-

it objects because another paper has
endorsed its proposal Let it show

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept. 80, 1895.

questions OF hygiene are the
main issues of the day. While
the learned scientists of Europe
are devoting their time and
skill to find remedies which
can destroy the disease breeding
germs, the diseases go on and
cholera, diptheria and typhoid
ravage cities and countries.
Whenever disease becomes
epidemic it is because the germ
found conditions which suited
it and in which it felt at home
and ready for business. The
sanitary conditions of the town
and of the home becomes of
vital Importance. Honolulu is
having a taste of a cholera cpl
demic and it behooves every
body to do his best in placing
every home in the best sanitary
condition possible.
When the general house, clean
ing which will take place next
Monday is over, many house
keepers will find some house
hold furniture which needs re-
newal and others missing both
as to utility and convenience.
We call attention to-day to
our Oil Stoves. The "Dietz"
Stove which we carry in stock
has gained great reputation
everywhere. The one we espe-
cially recommend is the most
complete oil stove ever offered
in the market. 1t is perfectly
safe for the user of it, and it
will answer all purposes in
well regulated household. Five
quarts of oil is sufficient to burn
ten to twelve hours. In ten
minutes half gallon water can
be boiled. 1t will fry and boil,
bake or broil at the same time.
You can boil potatoes and bake
biscuit at the same time. In
ten minutes you can broil q
steak to perfection, and in an
hour and a half you can roast
an eight pound turkey. Once
tried the "Dietz" Oil Stove will
be found the very thing for the
housekeeper, and the price
brings it within the reach of
everybody.
The Water Coolers which we
have on hand are the very
things for restaurants, saloons,
schools and stores. After the
water is boiled fill the cooler
with it, and even without ice, it
will keep pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
of great advantage and a great
saving in regard to ice.
What, however, is more USE
full than a Monarch Bicycle. In

Under these circumstances we are
surprised to notice the attitude Of
the U. S. cruiser Olympia. This
vessel so far refuses to come in port
and we have received numerous
complaints because officers and men
are prevented coming ashore.

.Sski seems to cause considerable
discussion here--especially among
the people who don't use it. Per-
haps it would be better to find out
what it is, and what its effects may
be, and then legislate in whatever
way would be beneficial to us. So
far, we hear talk. But practically
we find no results. If saki is bad
from our trade view and also from
our health view--some examples
should be shown, To simply talk
in print seems to be cheap.

BY the statement of w. @. Achi

that his taxes and water rates are
due for two years. How does this

Whites the Star: "a proper re-
spect for the ordinary amenities and
studied regard for the feelings and
characters of all men should mark
the conduct of newspapers as we'll
as the conversation Of individuals.
No publication can with hope of
success admit to its columns vague
or uusustained or malicious charges
against reputable citizens. The
course is both cowardly and unjust
aud cannot but invoke the dis
pleasure and contempt OF fair mind

all will carry out on this line, news
paper writing will be as worthy of
dignity as we have tried to make it.

The Bulletin published the day
before yesterday signed charges
against Capt. Paul Smith. If they
were true he should have been ig-
ANONYMOUSLY dismissed from every
government employment that he
held. Capt. Smi h resented the
charges. He took the conduct OF
the aft air into his own hand
and the Bulletin says: "Cap-
tain Smith would seem o be com
pletely exonerated from the charges
preferred against him by two late
employees on the dredger. Less
harm is done him by letting his
enemies come out in the open, which
has given him an oppor unity of
the most public exculpation, than
by having them circulate damaging
reports about him in private which
could never be fully overtaken."
81 the function Of a newspaper is
to circulate charges in order that
they may be denied.

United States district attorney for the dis
trict of Sout Dakota, in an interview con.
cerning ex-State Treasurer Taylors short
age said.
II have learned that Taylor has very
little, II any Of the money taken from the
state by him. He was interested largely
in banking, and had friends who were in
speculative enterprises and he loaned tc
them with the expectation that when the
time came to repay 1t they would be able
to make the loans good to him. This they
were unable to do and the money has
gone where 10 will never be recovered and
where II will never do Taylor any good II
the matter is sifted to the bottom, and
az of the opinion that 1t will be, there
viii be some surprises in South Dakota.
Taylor In not the only man to blame Id
the affair, either. IL was known In state
house circles as long as year or two ago
that bis accounts were not what they
should be, and there was determined Of
fort made first to renominate him and
then to secure the nomination of a man
friendly TO him in order to cover his
tracks. This failed, and of course the
shortage came out. The state officers who
accepted the bond furnished by Taylor
are also to blame. II Is fact that but
little can be realized on It, Men were per.
mitted to qualify on the bond for thou
sands OF dollars who were not worth a
cent over and above their debts. can
