THE NEW APPOINTMENTS.

The Advertiser is still of the opinion
that the Territorial officers who failed
of confirmation through the Home Rule
scheme to appropriate the offices them
selves, deserved denomination Gov
ernor Dole and the Republican leaders
thought differently, and they have
united on a selection of new men. Al
though both Mr.. Boyd and Mr. Wright
are Republicans, it is believed that the
Home Rulers will not carry their cam
paign for spoils any further and will
confirm the nominations
As to the new men, if their nomina-
lions are confirmed. their appointment
will mark a new era In the history of
Hawaii. There have been many cabi-
net ministers of whole or part Hawai-
ian blood, but with one or two excep-
tions, they were little more than figure
heads, so far as the real duties of the
respective offices We're concerned.
Both Mr.. Boyd and Mr. Wright are
. partly of Hawaiian blood Both come
to Office with long preliminary train
ing in the offices in which they are now
promoted; and both are practically the
first of Hawaiian blood who will have
actual as well as nominal control Of the

eminent.
A correspondingly heavy RESPONSE
bility rests upon them to fiji the posi-
lions in such manner as to realize the
high hopes and expectations which their
friends, irrespective of party, have for
them.
They both, especially Mr.. Boyd, have
the advantage of thorough familiarity
with the duties of their respective Of
fees. Each has worked up through all
of the grades to be chief assistant in
their respective departments, and the
promotion to be heads of the two de-
partments. is along the lines of the best
civil service principles. Both men are
in the unique position of being favor
ably considered by the two political
parties, although both are Republicans
and Mr.. Boyd is a strong party work
er, he having been most active in the
last campaign.
Both are island boys" and enter
upon the discharge of the onerous and
honorable duties of Office amidst a
chorus of friendly well wishers-a some
what Unusual thing in these days OF the
new Americanism.

A new instrument for detecting and
studying distant thunder storms, the
electro radiophone, consists essentially
of self-decohering decoherer, which
is placed in circuit with a dry cell
and a telephone receiver. The deco
herer is formed of arc carbon, dried
and granulated, and sealed hermetic-
ally in a glass tube attached to the
telephone magnet, so as to lie hori-
zontally when the telephone is put to
the ear.

The fact that in refusing to extend
the regular session of the Legislature,
Governor Dole was acting upon the adj
vice. OF the unanimous caucus of the
Republican members of both the Sem
ate and the House, makes no difference
to those staunch dyed-in-the-wool Re-
publican papers, the Bulletin and Re-
publican. Such an insignificant fact as
the approval of every man elected by
the Republican party last November
is of no weight whatsoever when there
is the least glimmering shadow of a
hope that Dole may be downed.
The Republican party of Hawaii
takes upon itself the full responsibility
for refusing an extension of the regular
session. 1t will confidently meet the is
sue at the next campaign, and the more
the Humphreys, the Gears, the Sewalls
and the other hybrids and renegades
sauirm and squeal and dicker with
anti-Republicans the more certain will
be the success of the party.

The childish attempts on the part of
the Home Rulers to secure the removal
of Governor Dole for exercising
the discretion given him by
law, of refusing to extend the
Legislative session, is of piece with
their record in the Legislature. Presi-
dent Mckinley is too well versed
in politics to swallow the tale of woe
which will be poured out to him. He
will receive the delegates pleasantly
as he does every one; he will listen at
tentfvely, as he does to all; he will
smile NEST captivatingly, as he always
does-and that will be all-except that
Beckley will have fine trip and see
what a fine man is at the head of the
Republican party. 1t is pity that the
whole Home Rule party cannot go and
meet the President. The travel, educa-
ton and association would probably
send them back real Republicans. in
stead of whitewashed limitations there

The antitoxic action of bile seems to
have been known for centuries to the ma
tives of India and the peasants of
France. A recent traveller relates tnat
when a person is bitten by a mad dog
in Bengal, the animal is promptly killed
and the victim Of the bite is given to
eat a piece of It's raw liver, and this is
regarded-apparently with good reason
as perfect safeguard against hydropho-
bia. In France the treatment with bile is
a remedy for the viper's bite. Expert
menting in the laboratory, NJ. NeufeId
has lately found that rabbits bile has
the remarkable property of rapidly dis
solving as much as 300 times it's volume
of certain bacteria. and that subcuta-
neous injections of the solution give rab-
bits and guinea pigs immunity from In
lection. The bile of man, monkeys and
other animals has the same power, in
less degree, of dissolving microbes But
the serum of rabbits has no such effect,
and while bile counteracts hydrophobia
poison, it has no influence on cholera.
diphtheria and other organisms.
