Dangers Of the Grin.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn Of single case having resulted
in pneumonia which shows conclusive
ly that this remedy is a certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous disease. 1t
will cure la grippe in less time than
any other treatment 1t is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by r. S.

A BIT OF OLD MANILA.

The question which many an Ameri-
can has been considering of late is
what are the business opportunities
the industrial opportunities in the Phil
ippines? One of the features of Har-
per's Weekly for the past month has
been its special correspondence, in
which is given the fullest and most sat
isfactory information on these subjects.
Every one who is interested in this
question will find in these letters just
what he needs to know.
What are the openings in the Philip
pines? In the first place, richer land
or group of islands, as regards area and
population, variety of agricultural,
mineral, and forest resources undeyel-
oped, cannot be pointed out on the map
of the world. Every authority on the
Far East affirms this opinion. There are
not only gold and silver, but iron and
coal; not only vast forests of ships
and house-building woods, but rarest
qualities for furnishing, finishing, and
ornamenting; not only great areas Civ
en- up to the cultivation of sugar, hemp
tobacco, and coffee, but wider reaches
of virgin soil untouched and waiting
the pioneer who is supported by an
honest government. There are one or
two railways; there should be a score.
There are. a few steamer lines, but there
should be a system Of launches and
steamers by which every one Of these
garden spots could be reached and de-
veloped. The natives will make no
trouble. provided they once know that
they are not to be oppressed and tax
ridden. For the year 1894 the COM
bined value of imports and exports
was $50, 100000 If the United States
eventually govern the Philippines that
amount will go up until it passes the
5000, 900, 900 mark. In the order of I'M
portance the chief exports were sugar,
hemp, tobacco, and coffee. The Week
ly also gives full information in regard
to cost of living and other essential
matters.

Last Disability.

By unanimous vote, the Judiciary
committee of the National House of
Representatives, February Z, decided
to recommend the repeal of what is said
to be the last remnant of disqualified
ton against those serving in the Con-
federacy The proposed amendment
is as follows:
"That the section Of the revised
statutes which disqualified from serv-
ing as grand or petit jurors in the
courts of the United States who have
taken up arms or joined in any insur-
rection or rebellion against the United
States be repealed. and that hereafter
no person shall be disqualified for any
service in any court or in any branch

tion in the civil war of 1861 and 1865. y

THE PRESIDENT AND MR..
DAMON.

Now the question arises, Had Minis
ter Damon submitted his resignation
to Mr.. Dole, would he have accepted it.?
The chances are that, acting under the
impression that the President dsap-
proved of Minister Damon's mission he
would have allowed Mr.. Damon to re-
sign. On account of the probable
course that would have been followed,
Mr.. Damon showed wisdom in
presenting his resignation to headquar-
tiers and not stopping to bubble over
whether the source of authority is in
Honolulu or Washington.
On receiving assurances that Mr.. Da-
mon had abandoned the feature of his
mission which placed him as practi-
cally government official working for
private interests, 1t is quite natural and
highly satisfactory to our people that
the President should refuse to allow
Mr. Damon to withdraw from Hawali's
official life. Until Congress has acted
or refused to act. the President Is in a
measure forced to- retain in Office the
men through whom the transfer of
sovereignty was made. Our people saw
the first evidence of this when members
of the Legislature and Council of State
were authorized to continue in office
until such time as the President might
see fit to release them. II Is again
brought forcibly to public attention by
request that the Minister of Finance
stay by his post until Congress pulls
Hawaii out of chaos.
We say the President is in measure
forced to retain these officials in office,
and, knowing Mckinley in his public
career as a kindly and thoughtful man,
we believe he comedies to the Execu-
tive, Judiciary and Legislative bran
ches of the Hawaiian government n
right to the honor and responsibility
of inaugurating the new regime. what
ever that may be.
This was the policy outlined by the
Commissioners when here, and Il
change has yet to be noted in their
public. or private utterances so far as
known. The Presidents action from
the outset has been consistent and
friendly. If the friendship has been
abused. the time for condensation is
not on the eve of an important session
Of Congress.

THB NEwSBOYS LETTERS.

The symposium of newsboy letters
given In another column is interesting
reading and by no means reflects dis
credit upon our public schools. Con-
sidering the age Of the boys, the cor
ners Of the world from which their an
tecedents spring and the pigeon Eng
lish that is the universal language of
the street, the Honolulu newsboys will
compare favorably with members Of
their fraternity in the average Ameri-
can city. The letters are given verpa-
tim and while the Chinese express An
gio-Saxon ideas in their own peculiar
way, they are more prompt to make a
try at it, than those better versed in
the vernacular of the English speaking
brotherhood. The method of the ORR
entails in expressing their thoughts also
conveys some idea of what the teacher
in our public schools has to wrestle
with, and why It Is that in the advanc-
ed schools, one of the requirements Of
admission is ability to speak English
correctly. The penmanship in each Of
the letters is particularly good, better
than that of the average lawyers brief
Honolulu has reason to be proud of
its newsboys. The majority Of them
are bright. hardworking youngsters. as
