a BAD LIGHT.

A great many cases of weak eyes
are caused by reading or working in
bad light. A dimly lighted room or
a corner is bad light The latter is
the most objectionable of the two.
Sitting at desk and facing an open
window will in time injure the
strongest eyes. In either case the
eyes are strained and irritated. A.
side light is never injurious. Place
your desk or table so that the light
viii fall from one side. If it is I'M
possible for you to do that and you
find that your eyes are troubling you,
wear glasses. Not the readymade
kind, but pair made and ground es-
peoially for you. They will make
your eyes stronger and better protect
them from injury. I make a special
ty of difficult and complicated cases.

rat terrier with you" Since the ex-
cavations for the exposition build
ings the rats have forced their way
into the markets and .neighboring
houses until they have become worse
than plague. They are so num-
erous and savage that little children
are not allowed even to cross the
streets after dark. Major, please to
remember that the Call says that a
rat terrier is the most welcome gift
that you can take to your Partisan
friends. We recommend youto pay
a visit to Leadenhall markets before
crossing the channel You will find
some good dogs there.

We have never given Senator Nor
gan credit for possessing a sensitive
conscience, or as we prefer to put it,
a fair sense of Justice. An evening
spent in listening to him at Kawaia'
hao Church confirmed our general
impression gathered from his CON
duct in the Senate. Recently he has,
in a speech in the u. S. Senate, come
out in his true slave. owners colors
He asserted the rights OF white
civilization as superior to the con-
stitution and to be maintained by
forcible suppression OF the negro
wherever his numbers threaten white
supremacy. As the Call well says:
"Where the principles of that speech
prevail negro lives only because it
does not occur to some one to kill
him." And yet negro is as much
an American citizen as Senator Nor
gan himself.

We presume that Mr.. Dole has
already taken the advice and instruc-
tions of President Mckinley in re-
ference to calling the Hawaiian
Legislature together, and that as no
proclamation has been issued con-
vening it during the present month,
the President deem it unnecessary
and unadvisable that it should meet
until we have passed into new form
of Government. The situation is
probably extremely inconvenient for
Governmental appropriation, but
the administration is to blame for
the very hurried and inchoate man
ner in which annexation was rushed
through.

The Board OF Health, referring to

probably sees an advantage in de
stroying the private papers and
books of account of the Asiatic
merchants and small business men.
By their destruction it will be all the
more difficult to prove the losses
these poor sufferers have sustained,
and if proper evidence is not ad-
duced how can adequate payment
be justly made. Sly and cunning are
