Through The presence Of The ex-pteli
dent OF The Board 0f Health. NOT uuiy
tht officials of the Treasury Depart
mont. bat the highest medical auth0ri-
t.es here. have learned with what ia
tellirenCo aud skill the cholera OF 1895
was treated by the Board Of Health and
the citizens OF Honolulu. This Is espe-
cIaliy important at the present time,
when Honolulu stands as an outpost Of
the United States. It ls a proof 10 Con-
gfcss and the people that IN the hght-
ing Of pestilence and disease the ut
most confidence may be reposed In the
local authorities backed by an intelli-
gent public sentiment.
Colonel Sam Parker left on the 10th
for San Francisco. His presence here
has been welcomed by the friends OF
the Hawaiian bills. Senators and
members OF the House look upon him
as a representative Hawaiian; his gem
lal and attractive manners are as
sumed to represent those Of a native
gentleman. Col. Parker does not APP
prove of all of the provisions of the
Hawaiian bill, but recommends the
passage of 1t as it is rather than cause
delay by amendments. Several Sena-
tors who are pressing the bill in the
Senate urged him to remain here in or
der to furnish information about the
land and other questions, provided in
formation was wanted, but Col. Par
ker was unable to remain.
Bob" Wilcox and his old friend,
Moreno, are often seen on the streets.
The current report is that Moreno can
didly advised Mr.. Wilcox to return to
the Islands, unless he had much treas
ure in his possession; Mr.. Wilcox, it
is said, is considering the advice of
this ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs
with much seriousness.
Col. Little of Hilo is often seen about
the corridors of the Capitol. He de-
nounces freely the Dole government
and the Judges who now hold office.
While he comments freely upon the
insufficiency of the judiciary and the
great need of reform in selecting
judges, he does not fail to intimate
that he can personally supply any de-
sirable amount Of judicial wisdom, in
tegrity and skill, and that Providence
has raised him up to serve as one of
the judicial lights in the Pacific
Col. Little proposed twenty-six
to the Hawaiian bill in the
Senate. The Senate committee, after
asking suggestions from the represent
atives of the Government and business
men of Hawaii, rejected all of them,
several which were not i'm
portant. The bill will, however, be
amended more or less in the Senate.
1t Is to be discussed Immediately after
the debate on the Finance bill Is con-
cluded The close of this debate was
expected on January 25th, but yester-
day the time for taking vote upon
it was fixed for February 18th. AT that
date the Hawaiian matter will be TAX
or up.
