Glddness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which val. sh before proper eff
4orts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Vsed and gives most general satisfaction.

A Fellow Townsman Honored for
His Services Rendered Twonty
Years Ago.
1t will be remembered that short
time ago Her Britannia Majesty's
Commissioners had the pleasant duty
OF presenting 10 the Bishop Museum
on behalf OF the British Govern
ment, set Of reports Of the cele-
brated scientific cruise, twenty years
ago, OF II. B. NJ. S. Challenger. We
learn from him that the beautiful
medal struck in commemoration OF
the expedition has been recently
awarded to DR.. II. G. Sloggett, now
a resident in Honolulu, who served
on board the Challenger during a
portion OF the cruise. DR.. II. c..
Sloggett was with the Challenger
as sub lieutenant aud was in
charge OF the department of mag
netic observations. On his promo
tion in 1876 he retired from the
navy and entered the medical pro-
fession, studying at Edinburgh.
The medal presented to DR.. Slog-
gett is a very handsome one, and
made from a design by DR.. Murray,
F. X. S. 1t is OF bronze and about
three inches in diameter. On the
upper side is a chaste medallion of
Britannia, with the flowing ocean at
her feet, wherein disport the sea
nymphs and "old daddy Neptune"
with his trident. On the reverse is
st. George clad in full armor throw
ing down his gauntlet as the chal-
lenger, On one side is the inscrip-
ton, "voyage of II. M. S. Challeu
ger" and on the diverse, "Report on
the Scientific Results of the Chal-
lepger, 1SS6-95." The Doctors
name is engraved around the edge.
May DR.. Sloggett live long to
cherish this very honorable mem
orial is the wish OF The INDEPENDENT

THE PEARL HARBoR MATTER.

The stand taken by Prof, w. d.
Alexander in this mornings Adver-
tiser in regard to the Reciprocity
Treaty, the Supplementary Conven-
ton, and Pearl Harbor, is undoubt-
edly the correct one. The Profes-
sor quotes from a portion OF the
correspondence used during the dis.
cussion of the question at issue, and
iudiciously refraius from the use Of
oven stronger points in other corre-
spondence in the Foreign Office
archives to which he probably has
access. That correspondence-with-
out divulging governmental secrets
Individually and unequivocally
proves that the intention OF the Ha.
waiian Cabinets, and also Of the
Government OF the United States, was
that whenever the Government of
United States broke her compact
with Hawaii, Pearl Harbor reverted
to Hawaii. To the United States
then is left under certain circum
stances only national honor, "cun-
ming diplomacy" and the power of
the stronger over the weaker. We
cannot anticipate that the United
States intends to break faith with
Hawaii, but it is just as we'll to re-
member that she has only contin-
gent interests in Pearl Harbor and
not vested right to it.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Minister Damon aud the chiefs Of
the departments and bureaus under
him have repeatedly stated that
their policy in regard to the civil
service OF the Government is pro-
motion. We always believe in the
sincerity OF our "best government"
and 30 do the clerks sometimes. 1t
was therefore shock to the officials
and to tho public to see that the
Minister OF Finance, through his
Postmaster General, had deviated
from his policy and instead of pro.
noting Mr.. j. d. Holt, the deputy
in the Office of the Postal Savings
Bank, had given the position to Mr.
j. F. Clay who in no way has been
connected with the Post Office here.
tofore. or course it is the misfortune
OF Mr.. Holt that he has Hawaiian
blood in his veins. 1t is an offense
in the eyes OF great number Of our
newcomers but, heretofore, we had
always believed that as far as Mr..
Damon was concerned the Hawai-
ians were to be persona grat@. No
one will dare to advance the sug-
gestion that Mr. Holt is not suitable
for the Office given to Mr.. Clay.

The Advertiser man is after the
"iSons OF the Revolution" and other
kindred bodies. He prsaches this
morning in his editorial an eloquent
sermon over the text "And hath
made of one blood all nations OF
men," We are somewhat puzzled
whether the inspiration was caused
by too much church. going yester
day, or by too much anticipation of
Chinese free lunches to-day. The
rosy face OF the Advertiser man
when coming out from the lunch
rooms Of the "Chinese race" at noon
is suggestive of the probability OF
the latter proposition.

about % feet, showing an average
width OF over two feet of ore which
will grade up around the hundred
