The EuIlness Thereof.

Amid the discomforts Of life and the
fullness Thereof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure. the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
so much. From big pains 10 little
aches. which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure Of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism. neuralgia, sCiatica or ium-
bago. or with the minor ailments or
sprains and bruises, or of soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy OF st. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in SO many
complete and perfect cures make it
stand out as the best remedy for pain
Why. then, should We stand on the
order of going for il, and not 90 at
once? In numberless cases the aggra-
vations OF di5cOmfOrts and pains are
from delay. Why should We suffer?

lapse into his former condition. ETC., etc.

SENATOR THURsToN SPEAKS.
Makes Eloquent Appeal for Cuba
and Her Cause.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Senator
Thurston OF Nebraska made an appeal
for Cuha's cause today that stirred
every member and every occupant OF
the crowded galleries. He said he spoke
by command Of silent lips. Mrs. Thurs
tons dying request TO her husband
was that he should lose no time on
account Of her death 10 do his utmost
10 save and free Cuba and is people.
Senator Thursuon said he had gone
70 Cuba firmly believing that the con-
dition Of affairs on the island had been
greatly exaggerated After seeing for
himself h. had concluded that an over
statement OF the horrors Of the situa-
ton was impossible. He was prepared
not only 70 adopt every word OF Sena-
TOT Proctor. but was even convinced
that he had unde7SJaJed the facts.
i DO not believe" said he. that
the entire Spanish army in Cuba could
stand an engagement in the open field
against 1000 well disciplined American
soldiers. The Spanish soldiers. of al
people on earth. would most gladly
welcome any result which would enable
them 10 return 10 their homes. The
pictures in the American papers Of the
starving reconcenIados are true
Discussing the remedy which should
be applied Thurston said:
4 counseled silence and moderation
from this floor when The passion OF
the nation seemed Al white heat over
the destruction Of the Maine. but II
seems 10 me the time for action has
now come. Not action in the Maine
case. hope and trust that this govern
ment will take action on the Cuban
situation entirely outside Of the Maine
case. When the Maine report is re-
ceived, if II be found that our ship and

HOUSE.

A. he opening OF the House yes-er-
day. Rep Robertson reported tor The
Judiciary COMMITTEES on Resolution 63,
asking for an appropriation Of $500
for copying The records Of the Circuit
Court o. The Second Circuit. The com
mi--ee could see no reason why the
appropriation should be made. There
was no need Of copying again the rec
o-ds OF The Court referred 10, since
hre-p-o3s walls now surround the
Court House.
Rep Robertson reported as follows
for The Judiciary Committee on House
Bill 90. relating 20 The Importation and
sale o opium:
The object Of the bill is 10 repeal
those portions o. the opium law which
give 10 the informeT one-lalt Of all
fines collected from persons convicted
under the law.
We believe thar much Of the cor
rup-ol, which il Is generally admitted
exists wiki reference 10 the opium traf-
fc. Is induced by reason Of the prac-
lice o. giving informers q share Of the
fines. An interview with Marshal
Brown has confirmed this belief The
existence Of the present provisions OF
The law Is . standing temptation 10 IL
formers and weak police officials 10
commit conspiracy and perjury. And
We nay here remark that The inform
e-s' share OF these fines does not al
ways reach TIE real infOrme-, but Is
frequently divided with paid officers
OF the Government whose duty Il
should De 10 enforce the law without
compensation beyond their regular
salaries.
It Is also 10 be noticed that the
bill does lo- alter the provision Of the
law which allows 10 informeTs the sum
Of one dollar per pound on all opium
captured so. that the incentive to work
up large cases still remains.
For these reasons We recommend
the bill pass
Rep. Robertson presented 2 petition
signed BY $50 persons, asking for the
favorable consideration OF an electric
railway for Honolulu. Referred to the

prise there is open for use :, 500 to 1000
acres of arabic land. which can be
readily irrigated by open bitches or
through pipes. There is an ample sup
ply of water in the mountains, a short
distance away.
II is further stated by Colonel Allen,
that something over one half OF the
property in land is for sale. The por-
ton 10 which fee simple title may be
/ OBTAINED upon meeting the inquire OF the
owners comprises The valleys of Hama
lei, KaIihikai and Kalihiwai. Nearly
every acre OF land in these three val
leys, famous for their fertility, is I'M
der rice culture. Hanalei is often call
ed the prettiest valley in the whole

nolulu waiting just such chances as
! offered.
