The readers of this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease. requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroving the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative powers, that they offer
one hundred dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of tes-
timonials.

How to Keep Cut Flowers.

A lady who has spent good deal of time in Japan says that she has often kept cut flowers for an abnormally long period by burning their stems with a piece of wood-not with a match, be it observed, or the sulphur would be injurious to the flower. The Japanese say that the charring process causes the water to penetrate the stem and sustain the flower Whatever the reason, it is satisfactory to learn that by eharring the stems of ehrysanthe- nuns we may keep them in good con dition for month or six weeks.

Cooking in Sweden.

A lady who has just returned to this country from the Land of the Midnight Sun said to a Philadelphia Press re- porter: After We had seen our fill of rocky headlands and enchanted lakes and fjords, we went to seaside re- sort, where we had rooms overlooking the water, and went to a matsal, or smeatroom,' for our meals, as every one does in Lysekil. We had a special table and were waited upon with the never-failing amiability by a special four $10.60 per week for our meals. What did we get to eat? Not canned peas or skinned milk or tough chick en. For breakfast we had meat, eggs, tea, coffee, delicious fish and fancy breads. For dinner, soup, fish, meat and dessert, the whole preceded by the Swedish smorgasbord, which is a sort of side table where all sorts of relishes are laid out Rarebits, eggs, sandwiches, raw or pickled herrings, with chopped onions, sliced sausages, caviare, anehovies, cheese, sardines, pickles and salted and savory meats are served in endless variety, and, though tourists usually fight shy of the smorgasbord, we became perfect Swedes as far as it was concerned. We had such a good time in Lysekil and saved so much of our precious pelf that we were able at the end of our stay to take trip to Paris for few days shopping, dinner at the Am bassedeur's, and peep at the budding revolution,

into another, and we think Minister
Damon would not do his duty, if he
faced the next trouble with an emp
ty treasury. Let the planters now
step to the front. They found mo-
ney to pay Thurston and their other
agents to Washington enormous
salaries by taxing each ton on sugar
passed through the houses of the
sugar factors. 1t was rumored that
Thurston received $4,000 by the
holders of shares in the plantations
represented by anFzation firms
simply by taxing SO cents on ton
of sugar. The sugar barons did not
feel it, and we see no reason why
voluntary tax OF, say, So per ton
should not be offered by the holders
of sugar stocks. 1t is no use for
our millionaires to talk about rails
ing the taxes of the people. They
wanted the Asiatics here for their
selfish ends. They live in grand
mansions in Oakland and Paris.
They can afford to pay the expenses
of the plague, and, if there is a
spark OF manhood left among the
eventual voters OF this territory they
will make the sugar barons shoulder
the burden of this serious trouble.
But for the honor of our race and
religion and civilization we trust
that the sugar planters will foot the
bill W ithout legislation.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

We can only advise the Trustees
of the Bishop estate, as we did the
Chinese societies, to send the Adver-
tiser man a present, 1t need not, or
ought not to be an expensive one.
Any old thing ought to be sufficient
compensation.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-01-23

The editorial notice in the Adver-
tiser of the Bishops Estate is an
evidence of the cowardly character
of that paper when the government
or it's bureaus are under the ban of
public opinion. Instead of courage
ously arraigning the Board of
Health for its neglect of duty it
thrashes it's members over the
shoulders of the trustees of the
Bishop Estate.

Mr.. Amana's letter to the Adver-

blame for the introduction of the
plague should lie. The letter should

that paper blush, if it we're possible
for him to blush.

There is no reason whatever to
believe for a moment that the Off.
Gals of the Board of Health will
hide any cases or refuse a correct
official statement of the sanitary
conditions. The rumor fiends are
around of course and spy a "case"
every hour. This morning young
woman was brought to town from
Molokai and taken to her destina
ton in police wagon. The ordi-
nary incident was of course grasped
by the rumorologist who found a
sensational case of plague in his
mind.

might fix responsibility for the
plague or expenses incurred by rea-
son of it. You will have to pull

1t may be true that the Citizens

standing technically speaking, and
that inspectors have no right under
the U. S. constitution to forbid peo-
pie to move wherever they please or
to enter private houses, but the

will stand by the "bluff' and the
other portion will have to be "bluff-
