The extraordinary mortality

The bad weather during tho past

cause Of the unhealthy condition OF
the town, but the whole blame can
not fall on the weather. The lack
OF sewerage system has much to

OF the present sick uess, would be
the first step in the right direction
The Independent., 1898-05-05

We notice that the authorities
lately have entered q vigorous cam.
paign against "kahuuas" al d quscks
which is a step in the right direc-
ton. No psrtiality or discretion
should be shown in this matter. Ii
a Hawaiian practices medicine with
out license, he violates the law and
should bs punished. If a Portu-
guese uses practical remedies and
makes people believe that he can
cure them, he should be made to
apply for . license to practice or be
punished according to law. The
same fate, however, should overtake
every quack who practices without
license aud receives money for
"auacking" sick people foolish
enough to believe in faith cures, os-
teopathy aud similar frauds, We
are informed that a so-called Ostso-
path is practicing medicine in Ho-
nolulu aud receiving money from
patients. He is man who could
not be granted license as physi
clan by the Government, but who
violates the law, depending on the
protection OF an influential sugar
baron who believes in this latest
fake in the faith cure business. We
call the attention to this matter OF
the Marshal and the Board OF
Health, and urge them to swooT
down on tho yiolator Of the law
Either let the Hawaiian kahuna'
and Portuguese medicine men have
free sway, or shut down the quacl
business altogether. The medica
fraternity should assist the author

baron's family and friends.

the question of favorably reporting II 10
the senate. The vote disclosed five men,
bers of the committee In favor of Ii and
seven against II. the division not being on

Michigan, Republicans; Griggs. Democrat,
Of New York.
Nays-Sulloway Of New Hampshire
Kerr Of Ohio. Gibson of Tennessee. Stur-
