Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept. go, 1895.

All over Jne WOrlu at present
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 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 a 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
biscuE at the same time. In
ten minutes you can broil
steak to perfection, and in an
hour and half you can roast
an eight. t.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 a pleasant tempera-
ture. Large families will find
these highly ornamental coolers
of great advantage and great
saving in regard to ice.
What, however, is more USE
full than a Monarch Bicycle. In
San Francisco and other places
mail and paper carriers, bust
ness men and professional men
use the Monarch, and have
within the diamond arranged
leather bag, very easily fixed,
which will contain paper, docu-
ment, lunches and clothing and
do service as the saddle bags do to
the horseman. The Monarch is

Punahou College will in future

Many people are of opinion il the
staff had been boiled aud filtered,
there wouldn't have been 30 much
dispute and scandal formerly.

dared for. The Government evaded
this on the pumping plant by doing
their own work by day labor. Now
a fumigating and disinfecting plant
is required. The Board OF Health
authorized the Honolulu Iron
Works to go ahead In the emer-
gency they were right. Necessity

The Star says: "No country will
be in a rush to claim a man who has
been tarred aud feathered." Per
haps so. But in this instance7-the
f. Godfrey case-no country will be
in rush to claim the Infamous per-
petrators of the lawless outrage.
Again the Star comments "these
affairs always remains mysterious
and this one will be probably no ex-
ception." Possibly the Star knows
this, but if the affair remains
mystery as to who the principals
were, then our Police Department
is a failure, aud our boasted mission
ary civilization played-out veneer
of hypocrisy.
A correspondent of the Star
quotes the late Sir Andrew Clark as
saying "medicine is the most un
principled of scieoces." Really from
late events here one would judge
that spirit must have been imbued
into some of its practitioners.
The Advertiser now is scared and
wants houses burned down and the
government to erect new buildings
in uninfected districts to replace
those destroyed. IT, wants no delay.
Well who has caused the delay in
taking vigorous action heretofore2

in Tacoma. She says that the re-
port Of this in a paper there is
twisted. She also says that it might
have been twisted to such greater
extent that it might have caused her
to be presented with feather robe.
Ii this is the state to which public
opinion has come that tar and teath-
ers are to be regarded AS remedies
or prevent atves the Government
had better look out for its police
force and get them to do their duty.
When lady seriously writes that
she might have had the remedy ap-
lied it seems to indicate that feel
log of lawlessness is abroad in the
community.
Says the Star: "Cholera has been
stamped out here once and the
trick can be done again" 1t may
seem like hyPercriticism but we
object to the use of the word "trick"
in this connection. Judging from
results however it may possibly be
co rect.

Occasionally much criticism is
heard on Government contracts.
This is small community and prac.
tically speaking in most cases, the
contracts are assigned befor eeven
the tenders are received, because
each one in the business knows ex-

advantage. The law requires all

Who or what George Washington
Smith is we don't know. But the
Bulletin says "our readers will have
reason for thankful rejoicing if
George Washington Smiths diary is
the last news to be given of the
events OF Honolulu's severe trial by
pestilence" They would have as
much reason for rejoicing or, even
more, if that was the only thing
they had to read in our contem-
porary's columns; and we opine that
they wouldn't be sorry if they hadn't
had to read that.

The Bulletin wants the paid dis
trict inspectors to be changed round
at intervals" 1t does so because as
it states, Candidates have been
heard to say that they had expect
ations of reward beyond the moder-
ate amount of wages offered" Why
not dismiss any man who accepts or
demands a bribe? In order TO obviate
the chauces of bribery accepted or
demanded, the Bulletin would de-.
stroy the value of the local know
ledge attained by the inspectors. If

MARKETS,
The Board OF Trade.

Chicago, Dec. Wheat opened al about
Nc decline under yesterdays closing rates.
and for about twenty minutes gave very
slight signs OF recGperation. At the end
OF that time, however. symptoms OF recov-
cry became apparent. The Improvement
was very gradual al irst. but before the
session was an hour old the rise became
rapid. and from 6I1c May advanced in a
hurry 20 s4s2~c. The first trading in il
was al from sisc TO Size. compared with
Size at the close yesterday. The opening
weakness had two or three reasons 10 ius-
tIfy il. The Liverpool market responded
by only I'd per Genital advance TO the Chi
cago jump Of 1e per bushel yesterday. A
private caolegram from a reliable Liver
pool source said Argentine crop prospects
were favorable, and what perhaps nffu-
enced the early sellers here as much as
anything else was that the receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth were more than
80 car loads in excess OF those on the cor
responding day OF the year before. The
rise which succeeded the opening decline
had also several good reasons 10 support
fl. The price had barely touched e2isc on
the advance when some OF the big bears
jumped into the pit with clean trading
cards and soon had the selling side OF
them covered. The market yielded To the
onslaught. and the price was soon crowd
ed back to 6li2c. A recovery 10 eII,c fol-
lowed. and the later trading was at 6IAD
sls.c, against 6l5sc on the day before.
Corn was quiet and nearly featureless.
The strength in wheat was about the only
influence.
| Oats were slow, but showed some
strength, in sympathy with wheat and
corn. but got easy later as the other mar
kets eased Of.
Hog products were quiet. trade feature
less and prices steady and without mate

This has been an extremely cad week
for cattle. Country shippers have suffered
big losses, the fat, weil-matured heeves
having been sold at lower prices than their
first cost three months ago. The weeks
run is one of the largest of the year. and
the receipts have run about 1870 head
over the corresponding week last year.
