SURGICAL OPERATIONS
FOR THE CURE OF PILES AND REC
TAI DISEASES NO LONGER
NECESSARY.
A Medical Discovery which VIII
Change the Treatment of All such
Diseuses.

II has long been thought, not only by
some physicians. but by people In gene
raj. that the common. painful, and ex-
ceedingly annoying trouble, piles, was
practically incurable by any other means
than a surgical operation. and this be-
lief has been the cause Of years OF need
less suffering. because of the natural
dread of surgical operations.
There are many salves. ointments. ana
similar remedies on the market which
afford some relief in cases Of piles. but
tie Pyramid Pile Cure IS the only pre-
paration so far introduced that can be
reliably depended upon to cure to stay
cured every form OF htchlng, bleeding
or protruding piles.
Mrs. NJ G Hinkley, OF No. col Missis-
sippI street, Indianapolis. was told by
her physicians that nothing but sur
gical operation costing between 500 ana
$3.50. could cure her, as she had suffered tot
fifteen years: yet even In such a case as
hers the Pyramid Pile Cure accomplished
a complete cure. She says: II knew an
operation would be death 10 me,
and tried the Pyramid with very IT
tie hope. and IL Is not 10 be wondered al
that | am so enthusiastic i'm its praise.
Mr. d. Il. Reed, OF South Lyons, Mich,
says: 'I would not take 800 and DC
placed back where I was before 1 used
the Pyramid Pile Cure; suffered lot
wears. and 1t is now eighteen months
since / used II. and not the slightest
trace Of the trouble has returned.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by near
" all druggists at so cents and u per
nackage. and as 1t contains no opium.
cocaine. or other poisonous drugs, can
be used with perfect safety.

THE COMMISSIONERS.

The choice of Commissioners, under
the provisions OF the joint resolution,
made by President Mckinley are adj
mirable, though unexpected TO most OF
us The Commissioners are men who
will work well together, and will pres
ent the draft of laws suitable to this
territory, in whatever shape it takes
politically. We do not know whether
they viii undertake 10 determine the
form OF government for the territory,
or Will confne themselves to the draft
ing Of general laws only. If they pro-
pose to recommend the usual terrific
rial form their task will be easy
enough. But if they attempt to draft
a form of government that is exactly
suited to our people, but will, at the
same time, be in harmony with the
prevailing ideas of our countrymen on
the Mainland, they will have not an
easy task.
Above all things radical changes
should be avoided. The Commissioners
from Hawaii will no doubt strongly ad-
vocate this course.

RED CROSS ANNFXFD.
National Society Takes
in the Local Organization.

The local Red Cross Society is now
a branch and part of the American
National Red Cross. When the So
ciety was formed Mrs. DR.. Day, the
secretary, addressed a letter to head
quarters inquiring if it might be adj
mitted as a branch organization. What
followed seems to indicate that the
reception was most cordial. The Red
Cross did not wait for the mail, but
flashed telegram across the continent
to inform the Honolulu ladies that
their organization would be admitted.
This is a copy of the message, re-
ceived yesterday:

A week at sea cannot freshen news
stale at date of shipment. This fact
is being sadly felt by a local publica-
ton that has been importing back
number boilerplate extras"
The commission that has been ap-
pointed to draft the enabling act for
the territory of Hawaii is being beautl~
fully abused in one of the political
back yards here. This is a measure OF
assurance that the commission is all 1t
should be.
1t is not anticipated that there viii
be changes of an extremely radical ma
ture in the methods of administration
of government here for the new ord
er" The good American foundations
were laid sOlidly a long time ago and
the superstructure will require but
slight notifications.
The Boys in Blue editions Of this
paper mailed free for soldiers of the
United States en- route to Manila, have
given Hawaii wider and better adver-
tisement than anything ever sent from
the Islands. The Gazette Company
has footed the bills, but feels amply
O0O
A garrison here will rather enliven
society. The army officers are as a
rule as fond of dancing and light en-
jOyments as the commissioned men of
the navy. 1t is now in order, by the
way, to locate and name the fort.
Building a permanent garrison will re-
suit in the distribution locally of a few
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1t might be remarked that the Gov
ernment here has not even yet any Of
fetal advice of the adoption by Con-
gress and approval by President Me-
Kinley of the Joint Resolution bringing
these Islands within the territorial
jurisdiction of the United States. Pres
ident Dole and his colleagues of the
administration will be notified form
ally in a few days of what they have
learned has been done at Washington.
