The statement that we have had
four or five cases Of diphtheria in
this city rests upon the bare state
ment of our Board OF Health that
its baoteriologist had found the
bacill in a culture OF membrane
taken from the throats Of persons
afflicted. Upon this statement was
based the scare article in our great
morning paper, that sent fear and
anxiety into hundreds OF homes.
One physician, who does not train
with the coterie of M. DIS who
dominate our Board OF Health, ven
tured the opinion that there had
not been case of true diphtheria
in the city, A medicine man in New
Jersey got into snarl with Board
Of Health, and part of the evidence
ia the case is thus stated; "The
grim humor OF it all is that the
Klsbs- Zef1ler bacilli,' which must
show in the culture to Officially
stamp case OF diphtheria, are pres
ent in thousands OF perfectly healthy
throats and absent in hundreds OF
cases OF diphtheria."

MNNpv makes the mare
MUNAA 4 go, is a well
known saying. We have some
thing that will make the sorriest
old nag ever hitched to a wagon
go at a regular racing gait and
for very little money at that.
Our CARRIAGE WHIPS can
be had in almost any quality
and price, from 81 to $3.50. We
have still a good stock of CART
AND BUGGY HARNESS to
suit the purse Of anybody we sell
frst-class harness for $16 and
the "there are others" better in
quality, at $25, $50 and $35.
Young men like to take their
best girl out for a drive, and the
beautiful moonlight nights we
are just now enjoying, invite
amorous swains to so a incoming
with their lady loves.
We have a dandy looking DOG
CART that is just the thing for
drive around the park; it is
easy riding, comfortable, with
plenty of room for two. 1t is
the only one of its kind in
Honolulu, and as we are not in
the carriage business, we do not
intend to get any more, so you
do not run the risk of having
the same style as everybody else.
Will be sold very cheap.

Disappointed Chin ese Returned HON,

PoRT TOWNSEND, May 5.-Of the
116 Chinese destined for the Nash
vile exposition who were released
from quarantine yesterday, Collector
Saunders, in compliance with tele-
graphic instructions from the de-
partment, will permit only so to
land, and the remaining 66 so called
actors must return to the Flowery
Kingdom. Under proper escort the
admitted Chinese will be sent to
Nashville and delivered over to the
charge Of the Surveyor Of Customs.
Each OF the Chinese is given a certi
icate which entities him to remain
in the United States one year after
the exposition will have closed.
When the exposition closes the Chi
nese can scatter throughout the
United States, and before the year
will have expired they can become
so completely lost that all OF the
Government officers in the country
could never fiud and escort them
across the line.

A Cabinet Minister stated this
morning that the Government had
received very encouraging letters
from Messrs. Thurston and Kinney.
Their plan of campaign in regard to
the Treaty and annexation will be
to have the whole subject brought
up in the Senate as soon as possible,
acting in accordance with the ad-

the House. From another source it

A WORD 10 GEORGE.

We wrote theother day that HawaiPs
particular brand OF Americans were
patriotic for coin, and now comes
George p. Castle, Of the red-hot
American house of Castle q Cooke,
to prove our assertion. Said Mr..
Castle to the correspondent OF the
S. +. Exsminer: England will
Jump at an offer of incorporation,
aud that will be our next move. We
want protection from eternal inter.
ference in our affairs aud market
for our products. For four years
we have knocked at the door OF the
United States for admission. Time,
patience and money are exhausted.
We are now kicked out AMI our
commerce is threatened by the
mother country. England can offer
us equal advantages, and many Of us
favor opening negotiations at once.
l do not see that the United States
could consistently object to this
movement, Having spurned us time
and again we claim tho right to
negotiate as wo deem best to our
advantage.

John Bull, dear George, has for
many years shown a wonderfully
discerning eye for the good things

sometimes jumped, to use your ex-
preston, the claims of others, unless
they were we'll fortified, but will not

ton of your firm, dear. You say,
George, that you want "protection
from external interference" Who
has been troubling you from the
outside, dearie2 We admit that you
have had internal disturbances, but
you certainly do not expect a re-
currence of such affairs. 1t is a
market for your products you want
is iti Such a market as Uncle Sam
has given you for five times the four
years that you claim to have been
knocking at your uncle's door; from
which market you have abstracted

ed as from forty to sixty millions of

You will hardly find such soft
snap again, my pet, and you certain
ly do not deserve to if you show
such a nasty disposition. You say
"that time, patience and money are
exhausted" TsmpuS hugi, my dear,
and will probably continue to do so,
That your patience is exhausted is
only too apparent; but what have
you spent your money for2 Have
Hatch, Hastings, Owen-Smith, Hart,
we'll, Thurston, Kinney and your
dear brother James B. drawn too
freely for transportation, fixing the
newspapers, and lobbies, and thingsY
If so, my dear, you should suffer and
be silent 1t is not considered good
form to whine over the cost OF so
good a thing as you have enjoyed.
Remember, dear, that wise mani
pulators say: addition, division
and silence"

Now, dear George, while The IN
DEPENDENT must be courteous enough
to thank you for proving it's asser-
