MANS THREE WARNINGS.

When the United States labor laws
are extended to these Islands, our
present system of labor laws will
cease. Once the United States law
comes there will be no temporizing.
The people interested in the industries
and interested in the future prosperity
of the country must put on their think
ing caps and prepare for the time that
is to come.
Some minor poet wrote Mans Three
Warnings" On each occasion that
death came to him man persuaded
death to go away and return again.
He had ever an excuse. Finally death
foupd him deaf, lame and blind, and
said, Surely he will be ready now"
but nothing of the kind; Death was
still an unwelcome visitor, the old man
was never ready, so he was carried off,
struggling, against his will.
The main industry of the Islands has
had its warnings; will those who are
engaged in it give heed to the warn
ings. The Interpretation of the New
lands resolution by the Treasury at
washington leaves very nearly a year
for things to go on just as they are
We know for certain that at the end of
that time they will not go on Just as
they do now. What we want to pre-
pare for is that when the change comes
there shall not be disorganization and
dislocation in our great industry. II
We continue during the next year to
depend entirely upon contract labor, at
the end of that period we shall be in a
very awkward position indeed. We
might wake UP one day and find every
contract annulled. The very novelty
of the fact that contracts We're annull-
ed would make numbers OF men cease
work for time. They would eventual
~ come to their. work. Unless a man
has large reserve fund, II he does
not work. neither can he eat, and we
all need to eat. But for the Moment

One of the results of the occupation
of the Philippines by the Americans is
the additional steam lines which call
at Manila. There is now a monthly
service by three companies, viz: The
China Navigation Company, the East
ern and Australian Steamship Compa-
ny and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
There is thus a steamer about once in
ten days, in lieu of little boat which
only piled between Hongkong and Ma
Mia, and a Spanish line. The result
has been an increase of passenger and
freight traffic between Sydney and Ma
Mia which promises to grow into a
great trade. If this increase has oc-
CURED even during a period of tran
sitiOn and unrest as is now the case,
how much greater it will be when
peace reigns and American energy de-
velops the great resources of the ar
ChipelagO.

there would be great characterization.

there would be great disintegration.
There are those in whose breast hope
springs eternal, and who expect that
when Congress gives us our organic
law still further time will be granted
to us to enable us to assimilate our
selves to our new status. This is a
vain hope. All the time we shall have
! for preparation we are having now.
The Treasury gives no opinion as to
what we should, or should not do. 1t
merely tells what it's Interpretation of
the Newlands resolution Is. What we
| choose to do is our own business en-
tirely. We are not being treated as
children and told to do this and not to
do that. We are treated as grown up
thinking individuals, We know what
is before us. If we like to get ready
well. If we do not like to get ready
events will take their course. The
United States has annexed Hawaii,
not on account of any desire to benefit
and help the people here, but solely
with the purpose of serving her naval
and military purposes. The actual
people mere are very small DaW0S IN
deed on the general chess board, and
their wishes can no more turn the gem
eral policy of the United States, than
Canute could stop the on-coming tide.
The future then rests with ourselves;
we can either play the part of the wise
or the foolish virgins. We can dance
along during the ensuing twelve
months, and all will go well; but when
the bridegroom arrives bringing fur
Their prosperity, and the assurances of
perfect stability, we will be found with
our lamps untrimmed and there will
be no chance of running off to get oil.
1t is a thankless task to warn indi-
viduals. 1t is, perhaps, n more thank
less task to warn communities. To a
large majority the present is all in all,
the future looks so distant, even II it
is but few months off that it is no
use paying much attention to it.
Thankless as the task is no thinker
can hide from himself his duty of
showing the danger of not preparing
to meet what must come How to
meet the coming crisis should occupy
the minds of the men most interested
in our industries. Prepared, the prob
lem will solve itself easily; unprepared
it will be followed by serious embar-
rassment and even disaster.

GOSSIP.

There is one comforting effect of an
neXation which does not seem to have
been very much realized by our fellow
citizens. 1t is the gradual death of
gossip. Years ago this city was a hot
bed of gossip. Every one knew to a
silver what everyone's income was.
Everyone knew everyone's else moral
backslidings. Everyone knew every
petty detail of the narrow little lives
that an insular abode, a steamer once
a month and one weekly paper entail
ed on all who dwelt within the borders
of the place.
Go back a few years and what a
beautiful crop of pettiness used to be
cut and garnered for the stranger when
he arrived. In those days the strang-
er knew of everybody and there were
those whose bitter tongues supplied
him with an ill word of almost every
one. What regulations were smirched,
what horrid stories We're told. One
would think that there was neither pu-
rity nor honesty to be found under our
tropic sky.
Now, however, the stranger comes,
and he goes, and we no longer have
the time to traduce our neighbors to
him. We have too much business to
attend to. We don't meet every stran-
ger that arrives. We don't crane our
necks when a fresh face goes down
Fort street, and say who is it?" for
Fort street is full of fresh faces.
Gossip goes on, of course, among the
various circles. 1t is the nature of
old women, male and female, to gossip
and say bitter things, but the univer-
sal gossip of the past is gone forever.
The gossip of the cliques is kept among
the cliques and is not retailed to the
stranger. 1t is possible for a stranger
to visit our shores and return to his
own country believing in the purity and
honesty of the inhabitants.
OF course the bulk of these bitter say
ings were but half meant by their re-
tailers and you would find the very
bitterest of them falling upon the necks
they had reciprocally traduced. Thank
goodness, it has gone, never to return.
1t was and is the disease of all small
communities. Kipling shows us how
it breeds in isolated communities in In
dia. You find it in every little English
colony throughout the continent of
Europe. 1t dies as places expand. An
nexation has expanded the population
Of Honolulu. 1t has given us regu,--
public amusement, it has given a flip
to our business, and it has killed or
scotched gossip. Score another to an
neXation.

We have way of despising the phar-
macopoeia of medieval physicians and
of laughing at their nostrums, and GER
tainly some choice specimens of pre-
scriptions which are readily found in
old books are very well calculated to
turn weak stomachs. But there were
certain CLEANS of sense in their mad
ness. For instance ground oyster
shells We're given to children suffering
from ricketts, and scrofula. Naturally
We say what set of old quacks." Not
so fast; oyster shells contain lime, nj
trogen, iron, sulphur, manganese, fiuor,
bromide, phosphoric acid and iodine,
which are all excellent for weaklings.
So the medieval doctor was not so far
out, only he used to administer his drug
in the shape of oyster shell scrapings,
and our modern Esculupiuses dole them
out in Wyeth's compressed tablets.

A rorerunner Of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catsrrh, and never
will.

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge Of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as money
of final redemption in the United
States.
,There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
Ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
ope-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort 10
make it SO is Unconstitutional and a
ne'ional calamity.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

WILL BIZ HONE SOON.
w ]. White tells about the
mastering out of the First.


To be completed In a few days Men
are anxious to get home Others In
GLIDING himself will yisit while home
ward bound = The Second-EIkins
trying to keep IT in-Men are very
much opposed to this bat their pro
tests go for nothing.
Mayor w. i. GIasscoek is in re-
ceipt Of letter from Adjutant w.
j. White OF the First Regiment ia
which he states that the work Of
mastering out the organization was
expected to be finished on the fourth
of this month at the time the letter
was written. There have been many
delays but these have all been over
come and the work is only little
short of completion.
The men are very anxious to get
home. Some of them however like
the life and they are being trans
ferred to other regiments at their
own request. The majority OF them
however cannot get home too soon.
Lieutenant White expects to be at
home about the last of the month as
he will visit along on his way and
will not come straight home. The
other men from Morgantown are ex
pected to make IL straig Il shoot for
their homes
The average health Of the regiment
is good and they are making high
standing as far as physical yigor goes.
This has been made yery searching
in order to cut of any demands for
pensions that might he founded on
disabilities received while in the
service.
4 Washington special has the fol-
lowing to say about the Second
which is Of interest here:
Inquiry at the war department de-
velops the fact that the Second West
Virginia regiment now occupies the
same position in respect to muster
ing out as do the regiments in the
field Its retention in the service
depends upon circumstances. All
regiments now held in reserve, the
Second West Virginia included, will
he mustered ont a. the conclusion of
peace, or when the war department
decides there is no longer need of
their services.
In this connection it is proper to
state, which is done upon authority,
that neither Senator Eikins nor
Commissioner Scott has sought to
have the regiment discharged. It's
understood large majority OF the
men prefer to remain III the service,
and the tact thai the command was
at any time liable tn muster out was
due to circumstances which neither
of the gentlemen named could con-
troll, aud with whi,'h they had moth
ing to do.
The continued r,.ireration of the
desire OF the men to reinain in the
service after nearly everyone o. them
has signed petition to be let ont
must be highly entertaining to
them. They want out and they want
out badly. OF course the officers
do not want to be discharged and
Elkins and Scott owe to the po-
litical pets who for the most part
compose the list Of officers to keep
them in as long as possible.

only received AS, one member bein z
absent and one not voting McGray
does not claim the seat, simply urg
