READY FOR WAR.

The sentiment in favor of the Cuban
insurgents seems to be growing every
day. In Washington the cause of the
insurgents is warmly espoused. Yes
terday the Cameron resolution, which
the morning dispatches reported
would probably be introduced into the
Senate Monday, was the cause OF
much comment. According to Score.
tary of State Olney, this resolution
practically means war with Spain
There is no danger or probability that
war with Spain will in the least affect
the quality of Rainier Beer. No mat.
ter what happens Rainier Beer will
always be the best. On tap or in bot
ties at the Criterion Saloon.

A press dispatch from Wash
ington, February IL, says: Deputy
Controller Bowers has rendered a
decision on the claim of Grace d
Co, of New York, against the Gov
eminent for $40, due them on
account of loss of time in the dis
charge of cargo of coal in the
harbor of Honolulu. The claim
is allowed and the Deputy Con
troller, in the course of his deci-
sion, lays down a number Of i'm
portant principles.
First-That under a charter the
lay days, or days within which
the shipowner agrees to discharge
his cargo, shall commence at the
time the vessel is reported to the
consignees as ready to unload, and
that this notice imposes upon the
consignee the duty of promptly
designating the place Of discharge.
Second = When, after the de-
signation of the place of discharge
by the consignee it becomes ne
cessary TO interrupt the discharg-
ing by reason of the arrival of
steamers having a prior and sup
erior right to the wharf designat'
ed, and the vessel is hauled away
and loses time in discharge, the
time so lost must be deducted
from the lay days reserved in the
charter for the consignee.
In this case the Government en-
gagged Grace e. Co to transport {
cargo of coal to Honolulu, but fol
some reason the United States
Consul-General at that port failed
to designate a place for the dis
charge of the cargo until sever
days had elapsed. 5 f Com News

FadS in Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and a "new
thing" frequently sells for short
time simply because it is new.
But in medicine, as in nothing
else, the people demand and will
be satisfied only with positive,
absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood it's
ground against all competition,
and it's sales have never wavered
but have remained steadily at the
top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foun-
dation Of absolute merit and it's
power to cure, and its sales con-
tinue to be the largest in the
world.

Electric BitterS.

Electric Bitters is medicine
suited for any season, but pre-
haps more generally needed when
the languid, exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and Alternative is felt. A
prompt use of this medicine + IS
often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in coun-
teracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Head
ache, Indigestion, constipation,
dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

Baptist Missionary to China Attacks
Rockefeller
PITTSBURG, May 24.-In the meet
ing of the American Baptist Missionary
Union today, the SD anniversary, the
report of the Executive Committee was
presented, recommending that appro-
priations be reduced 100000 under
those of last year.
The Rev. w. H COssum, missionary
from China, said he was opposed to re-
trenchment, and continued:
You sent me 10 China to work and
you can't retrench me. You can't re-
tard my work by retrenchment. First
consecrate yourself to God; make your
gift clean and we will accept. Other
wise we should not touch it. I don't
say this about John d. Rockefeller in
particular or alone, but to all who

views

wages, although the full eleven
hours of work is required of them.
The best paid men are those en-
gagged in the building trades. But
the conditions in this class are only
slightly improved since the full
years earnings of a painter, -
years of age, is given as $50. The
terms Of apprenticeship are long,
the pay is hardly enough for a
young japanese to live on, and his
foreman usually takes so much of
his time that it is almost impossi-
bic for him to acquire even a rudi-
mentarv education. Among the
common laborers, matters are still
worse, the combined earnings of a
family being hardly sufficient to
keep body and soul together.
If the sombre picture drawn by
tins Japanese writer be true IN all
its detail, it is not surprising that
japanese laborers look upon Ha-
wall as a sort of a gold mine. 1t is
a comparatively easy matter in
this country to save from
$50 to 800 a year, and
live pretty well besides. Another
valuable lesson may also be drawn.
1t is not for the best interests of
the japanese, to say nothing of
other nationalities, to have la
borers brought to this coun-
try In such numbers that the con-
ditions here will be- lowered to the
standard obtaining among common
laborers in their cities and towns.
Competition may be the life of
trade, but the competition which
Mr.. Takano represents can result
in nothing but disaster, socially
and financially.
