At the October Indian Conference

racial instincts are recognized.
The common law of the English
speaking world is founded mainly
on immemorial usage, or custom,
which becomes the racial instinct,
and yet this powerful common
law is often contrary to good alb
stract reasoning. 1t is surprising
that lawyers are not the first, in
his community, to realize the su-
creme force of race instincts in
shaping institutions. Even if Lord

States. Congress at once rushed
through law prohibiting Chi

by President Arthur, because it
was in contravention of a treaty.
But Congress bowed low before
the labor King. and subsequently
passed other immigration laws
which are now in force.
One more fact: The laboring
interest in the United States will
not tolerate penal contracts.
And one more fact: These Isl
ands depend upon the United
States for their prosperity.
The planting interest may judge
for itself what the proper policy
is to pursue regarding penal con-
tract labor. Does not every wear
of the continuance of this kind of
labor enlarge and consolidate this
wide spread hostility to it? Would
it not be better, at the earliest
to change the labor sys-

PENAL CONTRACTS.

The planting interest thinks. no
doubt, that it has served it's time
as a target for the sharpshooters
of Good Advice, and we do not
Just now propose to make any
scores on that line.
But there are some important
facts which have a serious bear
ing on the future of the sugar in
dustry that must not be forgot
ten.
Up to recent period, there has
been no large class of men in the
States, that has been personally
interested in attacking the Isl
ands' sugar interest. But. with
in several years, an active, bitter
implacable enemy has appeared in
the sugar beet interest. 1t hon
estly believes that there is good
cause for abrOgating reciprocity.
1t is the first industry which in
cludes many men that has the
leverage of an appeal to self in
terests. 1t is making the farmer
believe that he is personally in
jured in his own business by Ha-
waiian reciprocity. When self in
terest is touched these men act.
This is one serious fact.
Another serious fact is, that the
labor parties of America have
never taken any interest in the
Hawaiian matter until recently.
1t is presumed that the sugar beet
interest has made persistent eff
forts to stir up this labor interest
to oppose annexation. The result
is that the American Federation
of Labor in its convention held in
Nashville, resolved to oppose an
neXation on account of the penal
contract laws that exist here.
This Federation is a powerful
body of men, and controls a vast
number of intelligent voters.
Here, then, are two important
facts: The sudden hostility of the
sugar beet interest, and the sud
den hostility of the national labor
interest.
Now, then, is a third fact: 1t is
the powerful and unlimited infu-
ence of the labor interest over
Congress. In 1882, it demanded
of Congress, at the instance of a
few Pacific States, the exclusion

THE SALT HABIT.

The use of salt as a condimenr is so
general and so universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear a
word against its excessive use. but
there are multitude OF persons who
eat far too much salt-eat it on every
thing, on meat. fish. potatoes. melons.
IL butter, on tomatoes. turnips and
squash, in bread and on a host OF
foods too numerous to mention. To so
great an extent is il used that no food
is relished which has not a salty taste
and this hides more or less the real
taste, which is often very delicate.
Now, the amount of salt required in
the system is comparatively small. and
If the diet has been rightly compound
ed very little is necessary. Some 90
so far as to discard its use altogether.
but whether this is wise or not we Will
not here consider. What are some OF
the evils of the excessive use Of saltg
They are to paralyze the nerves OF
taste, or to pervert them so they can
not enjoy anything which has not A
salty havor, and in addition there is
a direct tax on both the skin and the
kidneys in removing it from the blood
Whether the skin is harmed By this
tax we know not. Possibly It is not
greatly injured, vet we know that few
people possess healthy skin; but II is
now pretty well settled that an exees-
sive use of salt does Overtax the kid
neys in its removal and that the great
number of cases of arrangement and
disease of these organs is due TO this
use 1t takes only a little time TO
learn to enjoy many kinds OF food
without salt, and We advise our readers
and others to look into this matter and
to try and diminish the use OF this con-
diment so far as possible. We believe
they will be better for it-JournaI OF

SUPERNATURAL NATIVES.

After reading several communi-
cations on the subject of ''racial
instincts" we have concluded that
the large majority of educated"
men in this community have not
given it much, if any attention,
and, therefore, know as little about
it as they do about sewerage
systems upon which theirs and
their families health and even
life somewhat depends. This is
due, mainly, to a lack of time, and
inclination TO study these sub
jects, and not to the lack of in
telligence or ability. These sub
jects are disposed of by horse-shed
opinions, or are waived off with a
motion of the hand. In the end,
the community suffers from such
trifing.
The great mass of material on
the force of habit collected by stu
dents and scholars is hardly
known. The wisdom of Lord
Bacon was expressed in these
words: 'The predominance of
custom is everywhere visible, in
asmuch as a man would wonder
to hear men profess, protest, en-
gage, give great words, and then
do just as they have done before;
as if they were dead images and
engines, moved only by the wheels
of custom" '1nstinct," custom"
and "habit" are convertible
terms. The Latins said: Gus
tom is a second law;;" and Carlyle
said: eve do eyels-thing by Gus
tom, even believe by it; our very
axioms, let us boast of Free think
ing as we may, are oftenest such
beliefs as we have never heard
questioned"
So when our good friends of the
Cousins society say that the early
missionaries did not find racial
preiudices among the natives,
Lord Bacon and Herbert Spencer
and these scholars are foolish
takers, or the natives were sim
ply supernatural creatures. What
were the superstitions of the ma
tives but race prejudices in favor
of their own gods? And what
were their ideas of virtue and
right but race instincts or customs
which neither the early nor late
missionaries rooted out, and ex-

A GREAT CURE.
Honolulu Men Capture a Bonanza
in New Remedy.


in New Remedy.
There has been quietly introduced
into Honolulu within month. a new
scientific treatment for the cure of
rupture. The discovery is nothing in
the nature of patented specific. but
is the application of medical and sur
gical methods studied out and proven
by we'll known physician of Boston.
A local drug man while in the United
States last year learned of the remedy
and secured the right to use it in these
Islands and an option on the rights"
for New Zealand and Australia. This
citizen has probably captured bonan-
"a of very desirable proportions. He
has taken into the arrangement a well
known practitioner of the city and sew
eral cases are being treated. The me-
thOd is the injection of a fluid which
builds up permanent tissue, causing
the hernia to disappear after about six
weeks of treatment for 10 minutes a
week. AT present neither the drug man
nor the physician here will discuss the
matter, but enough has been ascertain
ed concerning it to predict safely that
a stir is to be made that will be singal
and decided. The sufferers from rup-
ture are many indeed and if cure has
actually been found the custom of the |
owners will not be light and the reven- |
ue is certain to be heavy. A Boston pa
per is authority for the statement that |
the whole thing is honest and that the
rights of the one State of Vermont
alone were sold to two reputable physi-
clans of that sterling commonwealth
for $4,000.

The Burlington Press, Vt, publishes
the following letter from Senator Nor
rill to a constituent: 81 have told our
friends that if Washington or Oregon
would accept of Hawaii as country, I
would favor it (annexation) but never
as territory, as it would be brought
into the Union as State upon the first
exigency, and it would be a farce to
give natives or any others there State
powers and equal representation in the
Union with New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts"
Senator German desires that annexa-
ton shall be made with a stipulation
that Hawaii shall never be converted
into State. But he does not say how
the possible constitutional difficulties
are to be overcome in the way of re-
tanning it as permanent territory.

that the motion would carry, and

The season of fire crackers and hard
ships in the kitchen and with the dust
pans is once more upon the public, and
the hard working Chinese servants
will waltz out of the house this after
noon, all shining in their holiday attire
and with a bunch of red papers in each
hand. 1t is the happy Chinese new
year and the season when ill temper on
the part of housekeepers is bound to
shine forth if at any time
The new year of the Chinese begins
at 3 p. m. today and lasts for three,
four and five days, according to the
conditions in which the Mongolians
happen to find themselves. A solemn
warning to people with frisky horses is
contained in one word, "firecrackers,"
at this season.
From II m. to 2 p. m. tomorrow, Goo
Kim Fui, Chinese Commercial Agent,
will receive in the hall of the Chinese
United Society and all throughout that
day, the wealthy Chinese merchants
will entertain their friends in luncheon
and dinners. As usual, the band will
play during the reception hours at the
hall of the Chinese United Society On

THE RAILWAY AND THE GOV
ERNMENT.

The dispute between the Gov
eminent and Mr.. Dillingham; is
this. as we understand it:
Previous administrations, un.
der the laws and charters, gave to
the Oahu Railway Company, lib
eral rights to use and build whar-
yes, and no limitation was eX-
pressly put on the extent of this
power. The Railway Company
has borrowed large sums of
money on the faith and strength
of this grant, and the income to
be derived from it. Any depriva-
ton of the franchise, impairs the
value of the security which the
bond holders and creditors have
for the payment of their claims.
The present Government, very
wisely believes, that the wharfage
front should belong to the people,
and it proposes to take away the
wharf rights of the Railway Com
pany, but at the same time give
the Railway Company abundant
facilities for doing its business.
The Railway Company insist
that if this is done, it will not only
deprive it of its granted rights,
under the laws and charters. but
greatly impair the security held
by its creditors.
The present policy of the Gov
eminent should have been adopt
ed years ago, and no wharf rights
should have been granted, but
these rights have been granted,
and are now outstanding.
While the Government may
take almost anything for public
use, under the right of "eminent
domain" the question is raised
whether it can take back that
that which it has solemnly con
tracted to give, that is, can it i'm
pair its own contracts?
1t is what the lawyers call
mice" question, and it is more
difficult to decide it here, because
our Constitution and laws are I'M
like those of the United States, on
this subject.
Mr.. Dillingham; insists that the
Government is trying to beat him,
by securing possession of the
property by force, which is said
to be nine tenths of the law. The
Government denies it.
The dispute between the Gov
eminent and the Railway Com
pany is in the Courts, and is an
entirely separate from the matter
of properly securing the largest
possible wharf fronts in the har-

THE WHARF NATTER.

The Chamber of Commerce
promptly acted on Mr.. Dilling-

ence yesterday with the Cabinet
on the matter of wharf facilities
for this port. After listening to
the statements made on behalf of
the Government, the committee,
representing the Chamber declar-
ed that it was satisfied with the
explanations made, and retired.
The Advertiser, in allowing so
much of its space to be occupied
by Mr.. Dillingham's charges
against the Government, felt that
a person who has displayed such
indOmitable energy in develop
ing the resources of this island,
was entitled to unusual consider
alton. 1t desired that he should
never be justified in making the
complaint that he could not get
the ear of the public, or that he
was prevented from fully inform
ing his fellow citizens of his views
on public matters. He has now
had the largest opportunity.

ocean, beyond the reefs; that leach
one contains an inscription He asks
that they may be picked up.
No information whatever is given in
the notice, about the object of this sin
gular transaction.
There is a rumor that the Ministers
have been greatly disturbed by Profess
sor Cummings brutal prediction that
these Islands will soon be submerged
by earthquake action. They have,
therefore, with forethought, provided
this method of informing mariners who
may sail over the submerged group, of
the prevailing thoughts and sentiments
OF our rulers. There seems to be un-
necessary haste in launching out these
bottles, with their records, before the
first shock and subsistence takes place
But the worthy Ministers no doubt felt
that if they retained them until the mo-
ment the fire was applied to the vol

confusion. Our hypnotic reporter
