MISUNDERSTANDING HAWAII.

The Independent has always object
ed to the sending Of hula girls and
half drunken musicians to the eXhi.
biuons abroad. We can realize the
temptation for these depraved and ig-
norant people to go abroad and nave
glimpse of the world, but we cannot
forgive them the part they take in
showing Hawaii from the worst side.
It is unpatriotic and it is vile. The
people abroad cannot understand that
the nude, lascivious hula dancers or
the hoarse guitar playing singers do
not represent the Hawaiian. They see
them and judge our people by what
they see. 1t is fortunate indeed that
the Legislature will pass sufficient.
money to enable Miss Rose Dawson
to take fine school exhibit to Buffalo,
and at the Pan-American Exposition
show our fellow citizens on the main
land that Hawaii-nei is not populated
by the class of vulgar people who have
been hired to disgrace our fair name
and our race by wriggling their bodies
and singing obscene songs. We thank
the Hilo Tribune for the following edi-
torial remarks:
"One can hardly understand the
complacency with which portion of
the Honolulu press looks upon what
Is likely to be Hawaii's principal, II
not sole representation at the Buffalo
exposition, namely, a band of some
forty hula dancers, and others more
skilled at eating poi and pig and per-
forming various feats peculiar to an
cient Hawaiian life rather than char
acteristic of the Hawaii of today. 1t
is to be hoped that the new Territory
of Hawaii has really gotten beyond
the stage where it can be correctly
classified and cartooned with the Can-
nibal Isles, and represented by half
naked and wholly repulsive monde
script human being with background
of comic-paper cocoanut palms and a
foreground of roast missionary. Yet
it is the hardest thing in the world to
induce our brethren in the East to be-
lieve that in customs, manners, habits
and personnel we are superior to the
inhabitants of the odd thousand of
other islands which dot Pacific waters.
And that impression will be only in
creased by the forty hula dancers and
dog devourers who exhibit their gifts
at the Exposition, while the actual
Anglo Saxon life and character of Ha-
waii, which make it really an Ameri-
can territory, are never brought to
view."

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Assaults on police officers should be
punished to the full extent Of the law.
The poorly paid officer who in per-
formance of his duty is attacked, as
saulted and beaten has only one pro-
lection, and that is the law. The men,
be they of high or low station, who as
sault an officer should be made to un-
derstand that it wasn't Kamaka, IA
naka or any other K individually on
whom they make assault, but it was
an attack on the foundation of society,
on the law clothed in the humble uni
form of police officer, Policemen
may do wrong occasionally and use
undue violence, but they are always
called to task. The man who assaults
an officer should be made to realize
that he is striking and beating not an
individual, but the safeguard of the
community.

How Royalty Amuses Itself

The Grand Duke of Hesse is said
to be never 30 happy as when he
can snatch moment from affairs
to devote to embroidery. He is
very skiIlful with the needle and his
work is said to be beautiful. He
takes the greatest interest in it and
is particularly clever in the arrange

and acting.

them" says the Gar of Russia, who
has 6ne tenor voice, which it is
his chief pleasure to use. "My enc

when in gay spirits he had been en-
tertaining family party with lively
arias, "and accuse me OF being desti.
tute Of any accomplishments, but !
defy them to say that l cannot sing
as we'll as the best of them"
Another royal tenor is King Oscar
OF Sweden, who is thu most musical
OF monarchs. In his young days he
was regarded as possessing the
most accomplished voice in Europe,
and he could have made a success
OF it on the stage.
Wholly unmusical was the late
King OF I.aly, on the other hand,
and story was once told regarding
his lack of ear and voice for music
by the present King, then Prince
Victor. King Humbert disliked to
be reminded in any way that the
Queen was growing old, and he had
a particular antipathy to seeing her
wear glasses. The Prince described
one OF the domestic scenes thus:
when papa saw the glasses
going up to mammals eyes he cried:
'Margherita, put down those glass

amusement Of the Gear. He hes a
passion for collecting csricstures Of
himself, aud he is having a room

CONSUMPTION
CAN De CURED.
Thus Reports an Official
Commission in
France.
Declares That the Wasting
Disease Is Spread by
Expectoration.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1905 G STREET, n.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Consump-
ton is curable according to the report Of
commission of French savants who
made an exhaustive investigation of the
disease. Secretary Hay has received from
]. B. Scovel, United States Consul at
Lyons, France, translation of the re-
port. The commission consisted of thirty
two members and was appointed by the
French Parliament to inquire into the
subject of pulmonary tuberculosis, its
ravages in France, the cause of its preva-
lence and the progress made toward its
cure. q
The mortality from consumption in
France is very heavy, 100000 persons dy-
ing of the disease annually.
The breath Of a consumptiVe does not
transmit the disease. according to the re-
port. The air which he expels does not
contain germs. 1t is the spittle, dried and
reduced to dust which is generally the
agent of contagion. 1t is contended that
this dry spittle clings to the walls, furni-
ture and floor Of the patients room for
months and even years.
1t is shown, on the contrary, that sun
light destroys the bacilli. Alcohol makes
the best bed for tuberculosis. The depart
ments of France which are the greatest
centerS for tuberculosis are almost
always those in which there is the great
est consumption of alcohol. Among the
precautions urged is prevention Of The
act of expectoration on the ground and
profuse sprinkling before sweeping.
The report declares that consumption is
durable at all stages. DR.. Darfberg is
quoted as having said:
During the last ten years have cured
a number of consumptiVes, who have re-
sumed their active occupations, have
married and now have healthy children.
I can even say that I, myself, am the
consumptive that 1 know best whom I
have cured. 1 am, therefore, able to con-
firm that consumption IS durable"
Pure air, such as is found on the sea-
shore and on high mountains, is the best
remedy for consumption. In order that
this remedy should be effective it should
he continuous. The patients should not
only keep their windows and doors open
night and day, but should persevere in
this air cure for a long time.

BELMONT WINS
OVER 0 GRADY
New York Election Com
miSsiOners Decide
Contest.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Board Of
Election Commissioners met to-day to
hear the protests in the Belmont-O Grady
contest over the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Seventh district. It
was announced that the case would be
taken to the Supreme Court, no matter
what decision the Election Commissioners
might make.
This evening the board sustained the
objection to the certificate OF John
O'Grady, threw out the objection against
the nomination Of Perry Belmont and or
dered that the nomination of Belmont be
filed and that his name be placed on the
official ballot under the emblem Of the
Democratic party.
On the evidence submitted to the board
the nomination of O'Grady was not made
in accordance with law and the usages of
the Democratic party. The vote taken by
the board stood to 1.
The board also threw out the certi-
f1cates of nomination Of Koag and Ward
the Prohibition and Social Democratic
candidates, respectively. This action
leaves four candidates in the field. They
are: Montague Lester, Republican; Per-
ry Belmont, Democrat; Fritz Lininger,
Independent, and J. Bennett, Greater New
York Democracy. Bennett becomes can
didate by petition through what was an
nounced as a convention of the Greater
New York Democracy, held last Thursday
night, when Belmont was Endorsed.

THEIR CHARTERS
MAY De REVOKED
Suits Are Commenced in
Ohio Against -Four
Railroads.

COLUMBUS, Dec 2S.-Suits in quo
warranto were brought to-day in the Cir
cult Courts of Crawford and Logan
counties to revoke the charters of the
Columbus, Hooking Valley and Toledo
Railway Company, the Ohio Central Rail
way Company, the Kanawha and Michi-
gan Railway Company, the Buckeye Coal
and Railway Company and the Sunday
Creek Coal Company. The suits were
brought in the names of the prosecuting
attorneys of Crawford and Logan coun-
ties. They were prepared by Frank
Monet, former Attorney General and
now attorney for the Antitrust League,
David +. Pugh and Z. B. Finley. The
charters of the companies are attacked
on the ground that they are controlled
and operated as one in violation Of the
State laws forbidding combinations in re-
straint of trade and the consolidation Of
parallel lines of railroad. The properties
mentioned are all popularity supposed to
be controlled by the Morgan syndicate
For first cause of action 1t is claimed
the corporations are operating in viola
ton of the statute of March IS. 1882, for
bidding the aid of one corporation by an
other through subscriptions to it's capital
stock and prohibiting the lease or pur-
chase of railway by a. parallel line 1t
is charged that the Hooking Valley and
Ohio Central virtually consolidated
and that their stock is Identical.
FOR second cause or action the plain
tiff cites section 1927 of the Ohio anti
trust law and charges that the defendant
companies are in combination as shown
by their having given joint mortgages.
1t is also charged that they have con-
spired together to limit the production
of coal. while increasing the price of ship
ment and the cost to the consumer 1t
is charged that the railroads named are
in combination in violation of the law
as to freight and passenger rates cover
ing all forms of traffic. The companies
are charged with shutting off the supply
of coal to manufacturers and fixing a.
common standard for all their operations.
For a third cause Of action evasion Of
taxation and falsely returned valuations
are charged 1t is charged that the
blanks for filing the taxable property of
the Hooking Valley Railway mailed to
the proper officers by the Auditor of
State, April 1, 1901, were returned with
schedules showing property susceptible
to taxation aggregating 81, 696060, where
as the company's taXablesproperty at the
time was in reality $45, 65S, sos n.
Monet refused to say by whom the
suits were instigated. He denied a rumor
that Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland
was back of them, but said that johnson
was interested in the prosecution of the
cases.
