Unjust Disc Elimination.

II the Board Of Heslth considers
it wise to open all schools it ought
to do 80 and not make any discrimi-
nation. The st. Louis College is
the only school of any Importance
which will not be permitted to open
because several weeks ago a case Of
cholera took place in the vicinity.
The st Louis College is a boarding
school aud the pupils will be far
safer within its walls than running
around promiscuously without. A
feeling has been caused that the
discrimination shown by the Board
is due to tho jealousy and petty
persecution with which the Catholic
Church is freque emily treated by our
most Christian Government. It is
yet t. be seen if the authorities will
go as far as compelling the scholars
of the College TO attend the Govern
ment schools or be pulled up as
truants. The Catholic Church is
always ready to assist the civil
authorities in keeping up law and
order but it cannot tolerate any at
tempt to entice or force away the
members of the church. 1t is to be
hoped that the Board will recon-
slider, and allow the St. Louis Col
lege to open it's doors.

Sans SOuCi,

The most lovely spot on Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen OF Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
Islands. Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other no.
tells. For picnics, bathing psrties
and outings the best accommodation
can be secured by giving notice to
the manager.

A Small Blaze.

There was a small blaze in the
rear OF the Hawaiian Hardware Co.
last evening at 8 o'clock. Some
rubbish in a barrel got on fire, pre-
sumably through spontaneous COM
bustion, and the fire was promptly
extinguished by people from Nolte's
restaurant. An alarm OF fire was
turned in and the fremen arrived
promptly but their services we're
not needed. If the fire had not
been discovered so promptly seri-
GUS confagration might have taken
place as there were several barrels
of oil and other combustibles in the
immediate vicinity.

We have received information in
regard to a death under suspicious
circumstances which took place at
Wailuku, Maui, on Thursday, and
which ought to be followed by a
strict investigation. Our informant
states that, an old German known
as "Chips," who for many years has
worked for Wilder & Co., at Kahu-
lui, was arrested last Saturday, at
the Wailuku Saloon on charge OF
being intoxicated. The police,. we
are told, appeared three in number.
Two were on horseback and by ty-
ing ropes around the body Of the
arrested man dragged him along
between their horses while the third
officer followed behind kicking the
unfortunate man, VIII ,, when drunk,
is known to be very obstinate and
even savage, but owing to his small
stature and old age, at all times
could be handled easily by any able
bodied man.
When "Chips" finally arrived at
the lookup he was in very bad
condition. The doctor was sent for
and the man Immediately taken to
the Malulani Hospital. He fingered
there until Thursday when he died,
presumably from the injuries re-
ceived If our informant is correct
the brutal officers ought to be dealt
with severely, aud the authorities to
prove heir readiness to prevent
such wauton cruelty in future. We
hope the matter will be taken up by
the Attorney General without delay,

THE FILIBUsTER FARCE.

Again The INDEPENDENT is in line
with the Advertiser, which says that
our mounted patrolmen are not pro-
perly armed when sent on duty with
pistol and club. We are quite de-
cided in our opinion that such an
armament is entirely inadequate for
the service expected. We urge upon
Mr.. Dole to see to it that Winches-
ter rifle, most improved pattern,
Gattling, or, better still, Maxine
gun and sabre be added to the
armament OF this fine body of men.
AS matter of precaution, in case
of night service, couple of Con-
greve rockets and the same number
OF blue lights should be added to
the outfit.

Timely Topics.
honolulu, Sept. go, 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 a
we'll regulated household. Five
quarts of oil is sufficient to burn
ten to twelve hours. In ten
minutes a 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 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

which will contain paper, docu-
ment, lunches and clothing and

Since reading the Advertisers
story from Police Headquarters, we
must insist upon the pyrotechnic
outfit as means OF signaling so as to
distinguish friends from foe. 1t
gives one the shudders to think what
the result might have been in case
the patrolmen had been armed with
rifles. Our regular police force
should insist upon measures being
taken to prevent their slaughter.

1t is barely possible that dope may

But Joking aside. Is it not proper
that the farce comes to an end and
that the sensible men of the COM
munity ring down the curtain with
out applauding the clowns who try
to amuse them with military dis
plays, yarns about filibusters, and a
general attempt OF keeping up the
fun. The business community has
been injured enough during the
cholera scare; it cannot stand further
injury by filibuster scare.
1t is true that no sensible man be-
lieves a word Of those yarns, but
some nervous people do, and women
and children do not consider it
safe to leave their houses and go
shopping as long as armed men are
rushing here and there, canons being
dragged around the streets, "navies"
being fitted out, and the air full of
most blood curdling tales. And
who suffer7 1t is the storekeepers,
the merchants, the whole business
community in fact. And who is to
