ed and imported mineral waters

DOltIeu ana Imported mineral waters
at the time.
Scarcity Of water is the curse of that
country Every farmer maintains a
reservoir, but even these give out.
There are only two or three large
rivers in the whole country, and in
the dry season they degenerate into
shallow pools. These are called 1ans
and serve to quench the thirst OF wild
animals The Transvaal and Free
State are high plateaus that the sun
bakes to a crisp and where the water
evaporates as it falls.
The beers, however, being thorough
" acquainted with the country, have a
knowledge of the formation of the
rocks and plants and know where to
dig down a few feet and get water. In
this way command can always Sc
cure enough water to make coffee
their only drink. With coffee, bill
tong and mealies the boer can cam
paign forever.
Coffee he drinks four times a day
and so hot that if thrown on dog
it will take off his hair" Biltong is
a strip of meat, buffalo, or OK or hart
beeste, dried in the wind or sun. 1t
seems TO have peculiar nourishing
properties. Mealies are like our Indian
corn.
The boer starts off on a months
hunting trip with knapsack full of
these commodities and gets stronger
every day. Tommy Atkins or any
other European soldier cannot do it.
Before the English can reach Pre-
toria they must fight over a distance
as great as that from New York to
New Orleans. There will be no forage,
no water, and the beers will harass
them by day and by night
The other great physical ally of the
boer is the prairie fire. Nearly the
whole south African plateau is covered
with long, slender grass, which, I'M
der that fierce sun, is often dry as
finder. Nothing can live in a veldt
fire, and in its passing it leaves a
desert. Under the cover of the smoke
that arises the beers can utilize that
strategy for which they are famous.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 9.-Senator
Beverage spoke for two hours in the
senate this afternoon on the Philippine
situation and acquitted himself ad-
mirably. He declared for the perma-
nent retention of the islands, claim
ing that the natives were incapable Of
self-government, and that it was the
duty and destiny of this country to
occupy the field.
He said the Philippines are too val
liable to give up, and are essential to
commerce in the Orient A simple but
strong government is needed, he de-
clared. Senator Hoard made a speech
in opposition. In substance Senator
Beveridge said:
We will not abandon our opportunity
in the orient, we will not renounce our
mission in the orient. To hold the is
land empire will be no mistake. He
told of the immense trade of the east
which awaits us and described the
vast resources of the archipelago He
alluded to the Filipino as a south sea
malay, put through a process of 300
years of superstition in religion, dis
honesty in dealing, disorder in habits
of industry and cruelty, caprice and
corruption in government The Fill
pino does not understand liberty. A
protectorate . impracticable and
simple, strong government in the
hands of ideal administrators is need
ed. He must be shown the simplest
results of good government by ex-
amples. H. cannot be taught by pre-
cept. The declaration of independence
applies only to people capable of self
government and these people, who are
not capable of "consenting" to any
form of government must be gov
erned. How dare we delay a declara-
ton of our intentions when our sold
iers' blood is flowing? Blind indeed
he said, is he who sees not the hand
of God in events so vast so harmoni-
Gus, so benign, that man little knows
the common people of the republic,
little understands the instincts of our
race, who thinks we will not hold it
(the Philippine archipelago fast, and
hold it forever, administering just
government by simplest methods"

Washington, Jan. ia spirited and
at times sensational debate was pre-

EVERY DAY FACTS.
Honolulu Produces Its Share-This
Comes From KawaiahaO.

Comes From KawaiahaO.
What makes anything fact? Isn't
it an occurrence of statement that can
be proven true anu correct in every
particular? What constitutes conclu-
sive evidence to the mind of a Homo
lulu citizen? Is it the statement of
some one made in Texas or California?
We think not, but when some OF our
own people make statement and it is
Endorsed by many, there can be no
question about that. Under these cir
cumstances we call them facts, and
they are everyday facts, because they
are occurring every day. Don't take
our word for what is said. If you are
not satisfied, ask them; people don't
make such assertions without good
reasons.
The Rev. j. Nua of Kawaiahao in
forms us:
Il suffered from kidney trouble,
which was, / believe, caused by my
lifting heavy weights whilst young.
Pains in the small of my back were
one of the symptoms of my complaint.
My trouble extends back to the time
when / was Is years of age. and as i
am now 40, that is a considerable Pc
riod. During all this time / was SUBJ
ject to pains in the back. They con-
tinued despite the fact that / consult
ed several physicians and took numer
GUS remedies. No relief thus gained
can be compared to the benefit OBJ
tanned from using Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills. I have got on wonder
fully well since taking them. I am
quite satisfied with the result, and
shall always have some of the pills by
me, even when going from Honolulu
to other missionary fields in the South
Pacific. There is no other remedy like
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills for kid
ney complaints, including backache."
1t is important to get the same pills
which helped Mr.. Nua-DOAN'S
BACKACHE KIDNEY PILLS. There
fore, ask for Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at so cents per box (six boxes for
$3.50, or will be mailed on receipt Of
price by the Hollister Drug Co., Ho-

waiian Islands.
