.DOHRMANN' 5 LAST WORD
MORE ABOUT THE MERCHANTS
ASSOCIATION.
How an Institution Of the Kind in Ilo-
nolulu Could be Made of 1nestimable
Value to the Whole People.

T.. w. Dohrmann, head of the Mer-
chants Association sailed by the Rio
yesterday for home. lie is a partner in
the House of w. w. Dimond and Com
pany and before leaving made other in
vestments i'm Honolulu. OF the prospect
and Importance of forming mer-
chants association here Mr.. Dohrmann
said:
Right now is the time to act. All in
dications are that Honolulu is on the
edge of a great boom and that numer-
Gus improvements will be made. 1t
should be seen to that these improve
ments are made I'm the right way. The
Chamber of Commerce could carry out
our ideas, but it has so many other
things to look after that il could not
accomplish the same results as an or
ganizatiOn purely for the advancement
of the city's interests. No city has bet
ter material for a progressive associa-
ton than Honolulu. feel very strong
| ly on the subject and hope that when
return to Honolulu l will find an organ
ization in full working order.
1T is impossible at this time to give
you an idea of just the work to be taken
up. The duty of the association is to
take an interest in everything and di-
rect measures to the best interests of
the largest number. Your streets need
attention now. The unevenness of the
lines on Fort street should be corrected
without delay. The longer this is put
off the more expensive it will become.
Other streets also require attention and
need it badly The duty of the assocla-
ton in this matter would be to keep
pressing it upon the Government until
/ the whole work is accomplished. Plans
| should be submitted; the association
should help the Government in laying
out the best street improvement
schemes.
when the municipality is organized
much greater need for the association
will be felt. Almost every detail of
public works should be taken up. The
association should Immediately get pos
| session of the civil service, for this
should belong to the people and not to
the politicians. Honolulu may profit
greatly just there by the sad experience
of San Francisco. | wish to again en-
phasize the importance of keeping the
association clear of politics. Let it
stand above partizan matters and be-
come itself the greatest and most use
full servant of the people. So strict are
we in this matter at San Francisco that
member who becomes candidate for
Office is Immediately dropped from our
rolls.
Il believe that a merchants associa-
ton in Honolulu, along the lines Just
spoken of, could in a short time revolu-
tionize the appearance of your streets,
improve public policies and save many
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
city"

IS 1T RIGHT
For An Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

(From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard
N. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right 10
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel 1t a duty to say a good word
for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine i'm our family
for twenty years, and have always
found it reliable. In many cases a dose
of this remedy would save hours of suf-
fering, while a physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending i'm
plicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if a bottle of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided, and in many cases the
presence of a physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by all dealers and

the difference in the general appear
ance aud feeling of the farmers of this
part of Kansas, as compared with
those Of the east. The Kansas farmer
looks and acts as though he was ex
periencing prosperity and saw glori.
GUS future ahead; while the eastern
farmer resembles too closely the worn
