HUMAN NATURE.

/ The Matabele war showed some pic
turesque features outside of the mere
fighting and Cecil Rhodes, despite what
may be said of him as a schemer, is a
man" On August twenty-second John
Grootboom, a Boer scout, came in and
announced that six principal chiefs,
two princes and thirty-four indunas
and captains of impis were gathered
together three miles off. They further
asked Cecil Rhodes to come to them.
He went, accompanied by four men.
The four carried pocket revolvers, to
shoot themselves with in case of cap
ture Cecil Rhodes carried nothing
save switch.
These men rode to the Matabele
camp, held an important meeting,
heard the chiefs grievances and re-
turned in safety.
1t is a thing worth thinking over.
Here were a set of savages, or semi
civilized men, who kept their word.
Here were also men who felt that they
could trust their word. 1t must have
been striking scene.
Now the question comes up who
would under similar circumstances
trust the word of what are called civil
lied races? European history is full of
treacherous episodes. There is no
need to recapitulate the assassination
of the Guises' in December of 1888 and
countless blood stained annals of every
country on earth. But it does seem
great on the part of these semi-savages
to have had in their hands five of the
foremost men of their foes without
help, whom they could have held as
hostages.
The fact is that human nature is by
no means as black as it is painted.
When boldly faced, even the worst of
human nature finds that there is good
ness in it. The rout of Comus fed be-
fore the purity of the Lady. The worst
of meanness bow in honor and act
honorably before true courage. The
incident that has been cited of Cecil
Rhodes proves the truth of the argu
ment. Human nature, perverted how
ever it may be, is good.

TEMPERANCE REFORM.

few days ago there was published
in these columns an article upon this
subject. 1t is a very live issue, but I'M
less it is taken up with view now,
it is very likely to share the fate of the
effort of the committeeSsih the last
legislature. In other words it will be
quietly laid upon the shelf.
There are few people but believe that
much good can be done and should be
done in this direction. The evils which
spring from the abuse of drink are as
patent to the man of moderate drink
ing habits as to the total. abstainer.
What is needed is a union of these
parties and an effort to ameIiorate the
condition of affairs. This paper has
advocated for many years some modi-
fication of the Gothenberg system. Like
any other good cause, it is a system
that requires money to back it. What
would the Salvation Army system
be without money to back it. The self
denial of millions allows the means for
thousands to work Thus it is with the
fairly fight it there must be self-denial
on the part of those interested in put
ting it down. Eventually we may reach /
the point when all men will be tenn /
perate, but that consummation is as
yet far off. We must educate our he /
terogeneous population and gently lead |
them in the right way
The first thing for those interested in
the movement to do is to meet together
and view the matter in a practical light.
The citizens of this city should discuss
the issue and this in no spasmodic
way. There are men who can come for
ward and call such meeting or series
of meetings. The ways and means to
be adopted should have full discussion,
not only in the columns of the press,

Sheriff Hitchcock, who did splendid
work during the revolution, and has
throughout his life shown a manly
course, has been appointed Circuit
Judge of the Island of Hawaii. Judge
Hitchcock comes of an old family on
the Hawaiian Islands and one that has
been intimately connected with the
town of Hilo. He is thoroughly ac-
quainted with every part of the big
Island and is, moreover, a lawyer of
ripe years and great experience. Ha

BUGS.

What can you make from what you
are doing? 1t is a common expression
from the average man or woman. See
a man devoting himself 10 the study
of beetles-shrug your shoulders and
pass on the other side. See another one
devoting himself apparently TO the
mere watching of a milkmaid's hands
and laugh at his pure idiocy. The story
is an old one. Few people know what
those about them mean. The man who
studied milk maids hands was Jenner,
and his work robbed smallpox Of its
horrors. Before Jenner's time small
pox was as frightful an horror as cho-
lera is today. Calm, careful thought
and that unknown quantity-the X
Ray OF mankind-enabled him, in spite
of all opposition to prove his case and
to relieve a world from what used TO
be a calamity. Who of the older gen
erations here cannot remember pocked-
marked people in daily life. Now such
a thing as pocked-marked person is
almost unknown after the modern
methods in use to prevent the disease.
Jenner devoted himself to milk
maids with success. Other people have
devoted themselves in other directions.
The laugh is frequently heard along
the street-'What is the good of pass
ing about this bug or that?" Well, as
a fact, if people did not have some one
uIfn IonIyo6 Of n &c h11or nd ~ q
sugar planter, the coffee planter, the
taro planter would not have any proper
return for their toll
The man who peers round and is
often the butt of the ignorant, is the
man who really puts tens of thousands
of dollars into the pockets of those
who dispise his work and who reap
reward to which they are really not
entitled.
The work that has been done by the
specialist in the matter of fighting the
enemy with his own weapons is really
wonderful. The rose bug is nearly de-

scientific thought has been brought to
bear upon the subject. Scientific
thought showed the way and scientific
intelligence has done away with the
past The worm which threatened the

near
Professor Koebele goes soon to the
Coast with the distinct object of get
ting antidotes of rather pests that will
kill our pests. 1t is the principal of set
ting a thief to catch thief. You have
pest that worries your crops. Along
comes the professor and introduces the |
natural enemy of the pest and away |
goes the pest. 1t is the natural method |
of fighting plague. The ant worm, |
mum bers of worms and beetles that /
prey upon the leaves of our plants are |
doomed to extinction, as soon as the
proper antidote can be introduced. The |
study of bugs or of anything else that |
is properly followed up is of infinite
use to mankind in general. Specialists
are an advantage wherever they may |
be.
