THE GovERNoRsHIP.

The INDEPENDENT has the impress
sion that MIR. Harold M. Sewall
much prefers THE INDEP ANDENT's com
ments upon his, assumed, candidacy
for the frat Governorship OF Ha.

unknown "kamaaina" THE INDE.
PENDENT has 10 candidate for Cover.
nor. 1t presumes that the Mckinley
administration, which has accom-
plished annexation, by fluke, will
be honorable enough, to appoint a
we'll qualified person for the posi-.
ton. But The INDEPENDENTS Sun
does not rise under the auspices OF
Mr.. Sewall nor set under the frowns
Of Mr.. Dole. All that The 1NDE.
PENDENT asks for is that the present
uncertainty be decided in favor Of
free and liberal form of Govern
ment under which the people OF all
classes will be entitled to express an
opinion in their Legislature and
municipalities, The figure heads
and their appointees will shave no
ice when once Americapism is in.
stalled. Mr.. Dole is conservative
man and the representative OF the
family compact which has brought
both wealth and an overpowering
number Of Japanese to this country.
Mr.. Sewsll is supposed to be ambi-
tious and anxious to have his name
immortalized as the founder of the
State of Hawaii of which he might
like to bs the first Senator. He is
also supposed to be as progressive
as Mr.. Dole is reported to be drowsy.
The INDEPENDENT thinks that Presi-
dent Mckinley should select some
other rather than either of these
two gentlemen. If left to popular
choice it is very probable that both
of the promident candidates would
be defeated by rank outsider" a
lamentable result. Mr.. Mckinley
has ample material to select from in
the Islands from the missionary and
planter element if he decides to
support moneyocracy. The INDE-
PENDENT suggests a few names: Da-
mon, Atherton, Cooke, Waterhouse,
Baldwin, Carter, Hatch, Lowrey,
Dillingham;, Jones, Hackfeld, Irwin.
Among the prominent names linked
with Hawaiian history of the past
might also be mentioned Cleghorn,
Parker, Kaulukou and David Kawa-
nanakoa. 1t is not absolutely neces-
sary that either Mr.. Dole or Mr..
Sewall be selected; only give us
peace and some one with discretion.

Recrimination is Of no more use
on our part than is the crying over
split milk on the part of the sugar
planters and other annexationists
who made the fatal jump before
they looked. That ths bitterness
and hostile feeling in the hearts of
the Hawaisns and Portuguese and
other foreigners who have been per-
secuted and trodden under foot since
1898 will show itself in the coming
political events of Hawaii is only
natural and to be expected. That
such display of animosity against
the present regime will prove detri-
mental to the welfare of the country
we do not deny, but we think it will
be nearly as useless to try to stem

But nothing can bs gained by the
annexation organ referring to 'legis-
lative scandals OF the monarchy" and
prophecying "widespread confusion
and discomfort" 1t seems to us
that there have been more scandals
under the present regime, more cor
ruption and more nepotism than
ever before. And as far as discon-
tent and confusion are concerned we
do not think the history of Hawaii
can point out worse period than
that during which we have endured
the "best" government the world
ever saw. We do not believe in
"biting our nose TO spite our face"
and not being carpet baggers or
millionaires we cannot stand up,

dence in Oakland We and our

PHILIPPINE INSANITY.
The United States Government Tnves-
 tigating Mysterious Disease

tigating a Mysterious Disease,
 Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army serving in the Philippines who have gone ln- sane. The government has sent special commission out there to inves- tigate the matter, and there has been talk of mysterious disease called the "Soudanese Fever" It is believed by some that this disease is peculiar to East Indian and African tropics; that it was this which caused Dr. Peters to get into trouble for killing Africans and made tht French officers in ne in- terior of Africa recently slay other of- fcers sent to their relief Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuek and, frenzied, kills right and left until he himself is killed. The word "amuck" is a corruption of the Jayanese word "amoak, to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through an overindulgence In opium or hasheesk and. springing from his shack runs naked through the streets of the vii= lage. killing all whom he may meet. When in Malay village the cry "Amuck" is raised, it is like the cry of Mad dog!' in an American village, and the populaee turns out with long bamboo spears ard kills the man as soon as they can. But the @Soudanese fever" if it exists, is another thing apparently 1t may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only 8 variation of apoplexy brought on by indulgence in heating and stimu= lating foods The London Lancet re- gently had something about the afleg ed disease. People who had been af. flicted with it and had recovered said that they had a sudden sensation of a desire to kill, and that they saa red. 4 sudden aflux of blood to the head and the bursting of a blood vessel would produce insanity or coma In northern elimes it more usually re- suits in coma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity. All the soldiers of our army in the Philippines who have been sent back as insane have been violent.

 OCTOPUS AS A FIGHTER.
Rattle Between Two Grewsome sight Ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them

Battle Between Two a Grewsome sight
 ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them
 A plague of the octopus is reported al 0stend, and the age-famous oyster beds of that resort are in serious dan ger. This visitation is unusual, for the octopus is usually found in the gulf Of Mexico, along the coast of southern California, or in Alaskan waters. Some of those in the gulf measure as much as tWenty-one feet across the body their arms stretching out infinitely 1t seems, to their prey. They do not at- tack men as a rule, but there have been many fieree combats when an untortun- ate fisherman happened to hook one. An tchthyologist has only lately made a study of small octopus three feet in diameter. It was placed in a tank, and the scientist put in one finger. lm- mediately one of the eight great feelers came toward it, followed by the others These feefers, armed with powerful suckers, attached themselves firmly to the mans finger and hand, and made no further movement until he tried to withdraw it. Then they held all the tighter and the litIle mouth spouted forth it's inky fluid toa distance of two feet. At last he released his hand with an effort and tried to touch the body of the octopus, As he did so it changed colors in rantd succession, passing from black to yellow, and then seemed to be all covered with black spots. Another octopus of the same size was placed in the tank and then was battle royal. The sixteen arms Erithed and twisted, the water was stained black by the elected fluid, and it was thrilling sight ~o behold the entangled feelers, wrapped around each others bodies. After a little the weak CT of the two withdrew his arms. the other released him, and the beaten monster drew himself into eoraef to 1ur4e his wounds.

Syncope N fainting, results from an inadequate supply of blood to the brain The patients head should
 therefore. be lowered. aud all tight bands loosened in order to promote free circulation. Let there be a gen. erous supply of fresh air. being care full at the same time to avoid draughts. Friction may be applied to the ex- tremities, always remembering to rub towards, not from. the heart. Cold water dashed over the face will often assist in reviying the patient, and smelling salts are often used as a re- storative. In the case of strong smell- ing salts, one should never hold the bottle for any length of time close to
 he nostrils of an unconscious person, but pass 1t to and fro at some little distance from the face. Perhaps tho safest way is to hold the cork or stop per of the bottle near the patients nostrIls, as that will answer all pur- poses and prevent injurious effects.

After meals you should have simply feel
ing OF comfort and satisfaction. You should
not feel any special indications that digestion
is going on. If you do, you have indigestion,
which means notdigestion. This may be the
beginning of so many dangerous diseases,
that it is best to take it in hand at once and
treat it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indigestion makes poison.
which causes pain and sickness. And that
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial
does this by providing the digestive mater
ials in which tho sick stomach is wanting 1t
also tones up and strengthens the digestive
organs and makes them perfectly healthy.
