of the Grand United Order of True

The history OF this Order is wonderful
indeed. To read of the great progress

creates doubt in the minds of those who
are not members of the Order, who are
not acquainted wi.h the internal work
ings of the Order and who de- not know
OF Its great achievements and accom-.
plishments. The President and Grand
Worthy Master, Rev. William L. Tay.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1900.
The AERo-AMERIcAa COUNCIL.

There can be nothing but words of
praise and commerdation for the dig
pifed and conservative manner in
which the Atre'American Council did
the work of its annual meeting recently
held in Indianapolis, Ii was by far
the best meeting that the organization
has held since its creation In Rochester,
New York several years ago. In rep
TesentatiOn it was surprisingly large
when one takes into consideration the
fact that it is no longer a brand new
scheme with all the attraction that
novelty commands. In the intellectual
makeup Of those who partici pated in
the proceedings, ii was a great i'm
provement over Its other annual ses.
sions. 1t was singula<ly free from the
nonsensical, rabid and extremely radi
cal tone and expression of so many
conventions which have been he d by
cOlored men in years gone by. In
short the gathering was all that every
thoughtful colored man wanted it to be

ment, stating the case of the Negro as
it should be stated in a calm, dignifed
and mani y way.
Nothing that was done by the CON
vention commends it more to the
judgement of thoughtful men more
than Its refusal TO be turned into
politically partisan gathering. ANY
such step would have been fatal and
would have given the National Coun
ell set back from which. perhaps, it
would never have recovered. 1t would
have been the cause for driving away
from future meetings many useful men
who do not wish to jotn in political
wrangles outside of political csnven-
tions. Furthermore. any political
expression given cut by such a body
as the AtrO-American Council can win
no votes tor any party because the
Council would forfeit the respect of all
honest men because by going into pol.
itics il would be dishonest by violating
one OF lis cardinal principles and its or.
ganic law. We have no doubt that

The above communication fully ex-
plains itself. We tip our hat in ac-
acknowledgement of the complimentary
reference TO our efforts in behalf Of the
race. We are hsppiest when lighting
the battles Of our race. The editorial
columns of The COIored American aim
to state the case of the race, not as an
opt1mist, but fairly, giving a reason for
the faith within US.
from all sections of the country by our
subscribers and readers, unmistaksbly
demonstrate the fact that our people
are thinking along right lines. Intel
ligent thinking leads to intelligent ac-
ton. We can only give the outlines of
the fact upon which We base our hopes
for the NegTo's future in America.
In the first place, a race like an indi-
yidual, is more contented and therefore
capable of larger results in its home
| than elsewhere, especially when it bas
done its full shsre in the establishment
Of the home. The Negro was brought
to America very soon sfter the white
man secured fOothold and established
himself here, against the consent of the
aborigines. The Negro was brought
here against his own consent. The red
man has never fully accepted the white
mans civilization, although the white
man took possession OF him and bis
country. The black an has fully &C
cepted tbe white mems civilization,
and has proven himself as patriotic and
as devoted to the welfare of America
as the veriest white man here. The
Negro's blood has freely flowed upon
the field OF every battle waged for the
freedom. union and honor Of this eoun.
try, Why then should we not believe
that the Negro has brilliant future in
America? He Is part and parcel Of
the body polite, nolens, voIens.
Granted that many tights heretofore
accorded us IN certain sections are now

that in c-rtain other places heretofore

The reader of this must concede two
important points-first, that which fol-
lows, having taken place in Honolulu,
can easily be Investigated and proved
to be true; second, there is vast Diff
ference between opinions publicly ex-
pressed by a resident of Honolulu in
Honolulu local papers and the opin-
ions daily met with in the same papers
columns which were originally drafted
in Maine or Montana. Read the fol-
lowing:
/ Mr.. S. Hanoland, of this city, is a
Custom House guard. He writes:
Having been afflicted with an aching
back for some time, procured sup
! ply of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills
at HOLSTER & Co.'S store. and used
them. The results were most satisfac-
tory and / know that the pills are a
valuable medicine for kidney COM
plants and especially for lame back
! Is there anything stronger than
home testimony? The following are
some of the results and indications OF
kidney disease: Pain in the back, a
bearing-down feeling, a dragging SEN
sation in the groin, timid, nervous, and
/ restless feeling, temper irritable

that not only did he make UP his own
prescriptions. but people came to his
place to buy medicines, and the office
soon became a full fiedged drug store
Later HOLSTER & Co opened up drug
store on Nuuanu street. Despite this
the people accustomed TO the old meth
cd of obtaining their medicines from
their physicians, chung to it as ivy does
to stone wall, and only the most COM
pick prescriptions found their way to
the store.
To-day when a new physician. a
stranger. establishes himself in prac-
tice. he writes his prescription for the
ailment of his client and tells them to
have it filed at the drug store In four
cases out of five the client will say that
Doctor-so-and-so doesn't do things that
way. and soon the new physician falls
into the habit of his confreres.
The druggist states also thar the all
ing people believe that when they make
an office call and the doctor hands out
the medicine himself that they are get
ting their treatment cheaper. For in
stance. suppose the office call is 81 50
and the physician fills prescription
which would cost so cents at the drug
store, they go away satisfied that they
are economizing. But in three or four
days the Office visit is repeated as a
new store of medicine is needed. and
another $L50 is added and 50 on in
progressive ratio.
1t is stated that the physicians of Ho-
nolulu would not be averse to a change
which would relieve them of filling
their own prescriptions. 1t takes time,
and oftentimes it is stated they have
not the exact ingredients at hand. An
other, perhaps not so potent is used,
and there you are. The drug store,
however. has almost every drug known
to the physicians practice and the
prescription would be filled properly

WHY HONOLULU PHYSICIANS
FILL THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS

Why do physicians of Honolulu dis
pense their own prescriptions Why do
they not write out their prescriptions
and have them filed by their clients at
the drug stores?
IL is well known that every physician
in the city has his own dispensary
from which he prepares prescriptions
for those ef his clients who asks him to
attend TO their ailments. 1t is also well
known that small proportion of the
general prescriptions find they way to
the drtrg stores. and in such cases are
not written az all. but given the client
at the office
A prominent druggist stated yester-
day 10 an Advertiser reporter in re-
Spouse 20 the above queries that every
physician in Honolulu was almost COM
pellet 10 make w his own prescriptions
from his private dispensary. This prac-
tice was due 20 custom. and custom
alone was responsible for il.
In the early years Of the city the first
doctor who came to the Islands and
settled in Honolulu or in fact in any
town, brought his stock Of drugs and
set them Up IN his Office. from which he
dispensed TO those who same to him
for treatment. Oftentimes the whale
ship was the only drug store in port
and the physician replenished his de-
creasins stock from it's stores of medi-
cines. People grew into the habit of
looking 20 the physician for their medi-
cines after calling upon him to dag
nose their ailments. As the years roll
ed by and more physicians came into
the city 20 practice they took up the
custom. Then it was absolutely neces-
sary that the doctors have large sup
ply OF drugs and medicines inasmuch
as there was no store which sold them.
In time DR.. Stangenwald opened his
office on Merchant street and enlarged
his stock Of goods To such an extent
