THE SITUATION.

AS to the situation here The Star
can only repeat to readers abroad
that there is more and better peace
in Hawaii just now than there is -.
the United States just now and that
both political and business affairs
s-ase ON a more settled basis than in
the United States for instance. The
sugar plantations have had an uncom
monty good season and this means
prosperity for all. General business
is good and it is significant and pleas
ing that real estate is moving. The
labor problem is still very much alive
II is useless to attempt concealment
of the fact that the practically un-
restricted japanese Immigration IL
driving out American and European
labor and to considerable extent the
white and native mechanics. The Gov
eminent is anxious to carry out relief
measures, but finds the treaty with
Japan an insurmountable barrier. II
is likely an appeal will be made di'
rect to the planters to do what 1t Is
known they can do in the way of hold
ing Americans and Europeans in thu
Country. For foreigners with little
capital the opportunities in the coffee
belts of the various islands are better
than ever and in several district
farming and stock raising is giving
fine returns. The land laws are very
liberal. Politically there is no ex
element and not great deal of in
terest. All talk OF revolution is man
ufactured abroad sometimes out Of
the whole cloth and sometimes on adj
vices from a disgruntled local com
hination. There is no serious or tan
gible thought OF any more internal
trouble here.

GO AHEAD.

Now the Board of Health is talking
sense. 1t had no room or use for II
representative of u newspaper ON the
trip to Molokai, but it readily takes
up and heartily agrees with the adj
vice of The Star on the most i'm
portant detail of conducting the Set
tlemen. with its more than 1000 peo-
pie. The Board now sees that there
can be no peace or complete satisfac-
ton till there is Il manager on the
ground constantly. And as advocated
by several of the members, there
should be no delay in instituting
the reform. For some time the affairs
of the colony have been directed by
telephone from "a distance of seversl
miles. The superintendent has not
visited his charges for year at II
stretch. Small wonder grievances
have piled up. Even the official him
self comedies that the change proposed
would be vast improvement. There
seems to be nothing in the way of
making it. AS to finances, Mr.. Meyers,
who says he would like TO be relieved,
gets $3.50 a month. He has two lunas,
both under treatment, who receive
500 and 500 respectively. These two
are in charge of the Settlement. From
all this salary there can be stipulated
a sum that will secure the proper ser
vices of a proper man. In searching
for superintendent the Board need
not go outside its present staff. 1t
has two or three men in harness who
have all the qualifications deemed nee
essary and probably one of them could
be engaged. Life at the Settlement
could be bettered 100 per cent and
money could be saved at IA gratifying
and surprising rate. A resident man
ager could handle to some purpose or
result the food and fuel and other
aged problems and could make the re-
treat a peaceful and altogether pleas
ant place.

The report of three ply

ton of the water which the
people of Honolulu drink is

that it gives one time to select

necessary arrangements for

If the citizen who prefers
life to uncertainties, the incon-
veniencc and bother Of treat
ing Bright's disease or fever
may be easily avoided by an
Investment in the proper sort
of filter. We have one made
of natural stone, the water
being filtered through a cylind-
rical disc. This disc is easily
removed for cleansing and may
be made perfectly clean by a
moments brushing.
The filter has not been
named yet, but another, iden-
teal in shape and manufacture
is called the Success. Ours is
just as good without a name
and costs dollar less. You
see, the name amounts tC
something. We have also 8

The bicycle tribe on the Ha.
waiian Islands number some
dozen or fifteen different makes
and every one is claimed to be
a high grade wheel, but as a
head magistrate, or supreme
master, the Tribune was elect
ed to fill that very honorable
position as soon as it appeared
in the field of competition.
This wheel has had some
very hard tests since its intro
duction in the Islands, but in
each and every case has it done
all and even more than was
demanded of 1t.
Any champion or amateur
who wishes to know of the
everlasting virtues of the Tri-
bune has the perfect right &c
demand of us the reasons why
they should ride this wheel anc

PROBLEMS OF THE BOARD


agreed that he should be u man who
would live at the settlement and at
tend TO their needs.
Mr.. Bond thought that wood-cut-
ting OF. the cliffs should he stopped,
and agreed with MIR. Rycroft that fuel
should be supplied from outside.
Mcssrs. Winston, Richards and
others said the condition of things in
general at the settlement was excel
lent. Everybody seemed getting
along fairly well and the requests
came as matters of improvement.
MIR. Rycroft wanted to know IL a
few of the penniless could not be af-
forded few luXuries which they had
asked for If not the House commit
tee would try and supply them them
selves, with the help of friends.
Mr.. Richards called attention to the
fact that each leper was given SO
per year. This would go far toward
supplying the luNuries desired.
Mr.. Lansing took up in detail the
various requests. He was pleased to
back so few complaints. The work
was one of charity, established years
ago by the Government. Everything
that could be done for the comfort of
the persons there was being done.
Some of the things asked for were al
most impracticable. Others were ord
time TO time and were remedied as far
as possible. The most serious ques-
ton was that of fre-wood. Atten-
ton was given to this. The Board had
already started out on n tree planting
policy. Great energy had been ex-
pended in the matter, and the Board
it came to that, fire-wood would have
to be sent there.
DR.. Emerson followed up these re
marks with the general proposition
that the Board had to proceed slowl,
in matters of expenditure and feel it,
way. The tendency of such depart
ures was toward increase rather thar
decrease. Small matters might b,
remedied at once, but many had to b,
dealt with carefully.
Mr.Andrew Brown said he examine,
the wter system and found it the bes
in the country. He wished he ha'
such a perfect system here.
Mr.. Bond remarked upon the clean
illness of everything at the Baldwin
Home and the settlement generally.
Mr.. Rycroft favored n Legislative
appropriation for fire wood.
Mr.. Richards asked what would b
done with regard to the superinter
dent. He knew that question was
difficult one, but something should
done. Mr.. Meyers, the present In
cumbent, had given satisfaction, bu
he was getting old and change ha
to come.
Mr.. Meyers said he was now reall
only agent of the Board. He had ofte
\ desired to give up the work and wa
now only filling sort of gap until
good man could be found. lie favore
Il non-leprous person and one VIII
could reside at the settlement.
Mr.. Brown of the Board gave hi
views of the requests made by person
of the settlement. Some he favore
and some he did not. So far as tn
dissatisfaction with the superinter
dent was concerned, the question wa
not new. The people were hard t
please and would never be Statistic
with any superintendent. They tai
and their talk grows. Feeling an
trouble ultimately result.
DIR. Emerson called a meeting TO
1870 o'clock this afternoon and az
sured the committee that the request
made would be acted upon as speedil
as possible.

"? W
In apoligizing 10 the Other
manufacturers for picking out
the Tribune and speaking in
such glowing terms it does SC
for the sole and solitary reason
that the publishers believe the
manufacturers to use only
the best material in its
construction. The paper
reviews the history of bicycles
10 the extent of comparing the
American wheels with the Eng
ish make and the increased
demand that has existed within
the past fsw years for the
American make in preference
to its European cousin, and
finishes with this paragraph:
1--WE select as the represen-
tative of such a factory the
works of the Black Manufacture
ing Company, Of Erie, Pa, a
company which produce the
highest grade Of wheel and
which put it on the market
purely on the merits without
the adventurous advertisement
of paid riders. The wheel made
by this company, the Tribune
Bicycle" embodies the best
possible practice and is cores
pondingly free from structural
variations of improved merit
Such praise from such high
source should satisfy anyone
Of the superior merits of the
Tribune wheels.
We have just received tx
Australia a new shipment O
them in all varieties Of the 1896
patterns, in Tandems, Racers,
Ladies or Gents Wheels, and
shall be happy to show the
1896 Improvements to intend

How grateful the infantry should be to the

Had it not been for the infantry at Cedar
Creek the cavalry would have eaten their
supper in Detroit. Seriously, however, no
one questions the good fight made by the
cavalry. O'Dwyer says they fought from
one end of the line to the other. According
to Cox, page 357, the LIST Mich. lost three
killed that day. I do not consider that q
heavy loss for regiment. There was not
single regiment in Getty's Division but lost
three times that number. Probably Gen.
Sheridan talked through his hat" when he
reported to Gen. Grant that upon arrival at
the front he found the cavalry and Gettys
Division alone facing the enemy.

Lieut.. C. W. Read commanded the Car

Tacony, to which he transferred his crew
and flag and destroyed the Clarence.
On July Is the Florida put into st.

ordered in pursuit of the Florida, and Capt.
Maffitt sought safety by crossing the ATTAIN

retired from command of the Florida. His
successor was Capt. Joseph n. Barney. A
few months after assuming command he took

He sailed from Brest, Feb. 12, 1864, bound

captured the mail steamer Electric Spark,

nervous debility; relieves them of all the doubt
and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly
liable to- and restores the organs to natural size

men who never stopped to realize what might

in a remedy which will restore them to health,
