What do you think of Chamberlain

Said he: at is past thinking-it is &C.
tual knowledge if the continual sale OF
remedies to the same people is any crl-
terion to 20 by.
During the many years that we have
had their agency, we have sold hundreds
of dozens not only of the Cough Rene
dy, bat also of Pain Balm and of the
Colo. Cholera and Diarrhoca Remedy;
People who use them once always call
for them again. And it is this fact that
makes me know the goods have more than
ordinary merit.
The Chamberlain Medicine Co are
pushing people, liberal advertisers, know
Ing we'll that if the public once use their
products the future is assured

The influence Of women in public nf-
ufairs is very much injured by the inju.
dicious remarks OF some women that the
sex delight TO consider as their especial
champions and leaders. Miss Frances
Willard, Il woman of very broad mental
grasp has earnestly inquired whether or
ACT. IL n combination of the influence of
women throughout the country will agree
10 give their patronage only to those news
papers which avoid furnishing extended
accounts of prize fights, it will correct the
custom. The scheme is impracticabc for
several reasons. The first is that women
are good judges Of newspapers and will
patronixe thosc that give the news and all
Of 1t, and, in the next place, if such Il
combination were effected ii would have
no apprcciable influence on the circulation
of newspapers. No one or dozen or n
hundred newspapers could effect this RI.
form, If ii is reform, simply because the
result would b. loss of patronage TO the
newspapers that were so squeemish.
But our object WAS more particularly IL
call attention TO the unfortunate fact that
SEINE women engaged in general reform
aud the advocacy Of larger fields for the
activity of women almost invariably tax,
some radically extreme course on som,
measure that injuries the whole scx. II
man was guilty of such an indiscretior
he would be called an impracticable anG
no one would notice him, but when d
woman does anything of the kind il af
fects the whole sex. for the immediate in
ference is that the woman represents her
whole sex, which. however, is not true
for women generally acquainted with af
fairs are not extreme and radical. but. or
the other hand, they are generally yer,
conservative.

HAWAITs SHREwD GAME.

Hawaii is using extraordinary and
feel the Importance to it of the unnexa-
ton of the islands to the United States.
We have received the Hawaiian Star of
March q, published ut Honolulu, in which
the fact il mentioned that the customs
house reports show that the trade of the
islands in 1896 amounted to 500,
1888. and that the United States en-
joycd 92.2G per cent of the trade of that
year
While that shows Hawaii to b. proper
tionatcly one of the wculthiest countries
should depart from II settled policy not
10 annex any remote country Or innovate
so much on our methods of government
MS to inauGuratc some new plan To govern
n people not homogeneous with our pol
itics or our people. In another editorial,
however, the true animus of the Ha-
waiians is betrayed. The Honolulu pa
per says that IIawaiians can govern
themselves and that it in not internal
affairs that trouble them, but, rs the
Star says. at is TIE foreign aggression
that we fear" Aha, that is the rub.
You want the United States to fight your
battles and stand by you in your foreign
policy, do you? Well, the United States
is no Don Quixote, making war either
upon windmlls or foreign fleets in behalf
of half savage. but Il very amiahlc kind
of half savage people, so far out in the
Pacific ocean as to be undiscovcrab!e eN-
ccpt by skilled navigator.
II would he largely 10 our advantage
to have II coaling station At Pearl island,
but we may be able to negotiate with
Hawaii for that without undertaking to
build fleets to specially guard the wealth
of Hawaii from the rapacity of the ma
tons of the world. We have right under
our noses Il little island that is giving us
good deal of trouble just now and the
cause of the natives Of which is producing
considerable degree of dissension in
this country. although we are thus far
neutral Ill the CUBAN matter without
going way out in the Pacific.
The Star puts it in very seductive Ian

eminent of Hawaii 10 keep internal order

United States wish to see that?" The
United States might not wish to see that
MS much rs n large majority of the Asiat-

see it. but if Hawaii wishes to prevent
such calamity we would advise the au-
thorities there not to rely upon the United
