The mauka gate Of the Pacific
Mail wharf was closed this morning
upon the arrival of the Australia,
which was ordered to lay there, the
Oceanic wharf being occupied by
the ship Iroquois A number OF
people desired to get back to town
through the gate referred to, having
their horses hitched up outside, but
all of them were refused by the
guard, who evidently acted under
instructions. Members OF the dip
lomatic corps and many prominent
taxpayers were obliged to fud their
way through the Eva gate of the
wharf, and by trotting through dust
and dirt find their carriages outside
the gate through which the public
were allowed to come in but not out
Minister Damon, however, compelled
the guard TO allow him and his
ladies to pass through the gate,
closed to the public. All OF us like
Damon aud he deserves his popu-
larity, but he should remember tha at
gates not open to the public cannot
be open to him or any other Cabinet
Minister in this Democratic he pub.

PROMOTE HIM.

The INDEPENDENT is always good
natured whenever the interests of
Hawaii and the Hawaiians are in
question. We therefore offer a
gentle advice to Minister Damon
and to His Majesty Dole, the
whiskered, in regard to the sending
of Curtis Piehu Iaukea to Engl and
as secretary to the envoy extraor-
dinary who will represent Hawaii at
the Victoria jubilee. Don't let it be
supposed for moment, that we
oppose the selection of Major Iaukea
to assist in representing Hawaii at
the British Court. On the contrary
we consider him the most suitable
Hawaiian obtainable for the purpose.
Who else among honorable and
educated Hawaiians would willingly
one day appear at the Courts of
Europe as the special envoy OF the
King OF Hawaii and as his personal
aide -de-camp, and few days or
years later on re-appear as the sec
retary of the representative of a
president" of the Republic of Ha-
waii, "major" on the staff of Mr..
Dole, an obscure lawyer, and acci
dentally political "boss." Iaukea
is all right but our advice is that he be
made colonel before he leaves this
beach. Good heavensl How can
the emperors, kings and generals,
with whom he used to hobnob,
greet him as "colonel" and be an
swered by the modest gentleman
that this time he is only "maj
Why, the very worst inferences will
be made from any acknowledge
ment on the part Of our embassy
that such an "Irish" promotion has
taken place and that Colonel Iaukea
has been transmongrified into Major
Iaukea, Do not let us blunder this
time, dear Dole, more than neces-
sary. Make Curtis general il pos
sible and let him and our special
ambassador appear with all the
decorations ornaments, uniforms,
and fuss and feathers now in their
possession. Hawaii will be we'll re-
presented by Damon and Iaukea,
but in the name OF common decency
don't let a colonel, known to all
Europe, appear after 10 years of
hard work and assiduous duties, as

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

As a matter Of fact all measures

should be carefully considered and
common sensc and good judgment
used ia devising the means
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-04-27

In the meantime let US suggest to
our learned men Of the Board OF
Health and to the intelligent por-
tion OF the country that the danger
Of consumption does not lie alto
gether in the vicinity of the four
legged cattle. Let the two-legged
unfortunates who suffer from tuber-
culosis be looked after but instead
of risking a spread OF the disease by
the use of tuberculine let the "war
horse" of he Board recommend and
enforce where he can, the following
suggestions adopted by the Office
Of the State Board OF Health Of
Massachusetts, US. A.
Consumption is the most des-
tructive disease OF New England,
the number OF persons diving
annually from this cause in Mas
sachusetts amounting to nearly SIX
thousand.
The disease is infectious, and can
be communicated from one person
to another. The chieI danger exists
in the expectoraliou Of the sick, aud
il this expectoraton is carefully
destroyed little danger need be
feared.
Consumptives should be instruct
ed not to spit upon the floors Of
rooms, public halls, street and rail-
way cars, and other vehicles, nor in
the streets, but into pieces of cloth,
or receptacles mad for the purpose,
containing water, or saturated
solution Of carboic acid Zone part
of carbolic acid crystals to about
fifteen parts Of water. Such bits of
cloth should be destroyed by fire,
before the sputa becomes dry, and
other receptacles should be cleansed
with scalding water, their contents
having been destroyed or otherwise
carefully disposed Of. Hankerchiefs
which may have been used from
necessity should be boiled half an
hour before washing.
A healthy person should not sleep
in the same room with a con
sumptive.
Remember that sputa must never
be allowed to become dry.

Does. our Board Of Health take
any precaution against the spread
OF the disease which is becoming
more aud more dangerous to the
nation? While our wise men smell
aud tap and look at dairy COWS and
the cattle at the slaughter house
they do nothing towards stopping
the spread OF consumption from
man to man. On the contrary the
Government eulogizes the climate
of Hawaii as remedy for ell con-
sumptives and invites them all to
come here and spend their money
and be buried.
