THE ROYAL MONTH AND THE ROY
AL DISEASE.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con-
sumptive. The progress of scrofula
during normal October is commonly
great. We never think of scrofula-
it's lunches, cutaneous eruptions, and
wasting of the bodily substance-witlI-
out thinking Of the great good many
sufferers from 1T have derived from
Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose radical and
permanent cures OF this one disease are
enough to make it the most famous
medicine in the world. There is prob
ably not city or town where Hoods
Sarsaparilla has not proved it's merit
in more homes than one, in arresting
and completely eradicating scrofula.
which is almost as serious and as much
to be feared as it's near relative,-con-
sumption.

REV WILLIAM Ii, MOORE.
A FORMER PASTOR OF THE CONGREGA-
TIONAL CHURCH.

FORMER PASTOR OF THE ONGREGA-
TIONAL CHURCH.
The death of Rev William H. Moore
on August %, removed from the group
of temperance advocates and workers,
one of the honorary life directors OF
the Connecticut Temperance Union,
who was highly esteemed and much
beloved by his co-workers, and who
will be missed in the circles where he
was best known.
Mr. Moore graduated at Yale in 1S41,
studied theology and for IA years was
pastor of Congregational churches in
Connecticut, first in Torrington and
then at Newtown.
He resigned the pastorate Of the
latter church to devote his time to the
interests of the Home Missionary So
ciety of Connecticut, of which he was
state missionary from 1862 to 1898. He
Was statistical secretary of the Gen
eral Association of Connecticut from
1859 to 1869, and secretary of the Home
Missionary Society from 1864 to 1898.
He was registrar of the National Coun-
Gil Of Congregational churches from
it's organization in 1871 to 1898, and for
most of that period, an active member
Of the provisional committee. He had
an excellent memory, was distinguish
| ed for his use of statistics and his abil-
ity to give facts and dates connected
| with church work. In every position
which he occupied he was a staunch
friend of temperance, promoting the
cause by his own strict personal habits
and example, and by his wise coun-
sels.-[D. N. Camp.
Rev J. R. Stubbert says Of Mr. Moore:
The mellow of Paradise seemed to fall
upon him as his steps shortened on
the way to the better land. The glory
OF Heaven was no surprise to his clar-
flied eyes. A deep, firm faith, without
any signs Of boasting, seized his soul
and in the light of the Masters face,
lquietly, yet firmly, he did his work
| with an eye single to Gods glory and
at the same time steadily pursuing his
| journey day by day under the inspira-
tion of that grace that opened to him
the gates of the Heavenly City.-[Con

The Campbell Estate.

Judge Gear has filed long de-
cision Gu submitted questions in
regard to the estate of the late
James Campbell, in which he OBJ
jects to the terms of the will, OBJ
jects to the accounts and orders the
executors to file a new account
forthwith. OF the will the court
says:
"The will is rather strange in
some OF its provisions, and is a
striking example OF the extent to
which, under the present Territor-
ial laws, q testator may tie up a
vast estate for long period. 1t
ties up the principal of the estate
until apostolic period of twenty
years after the death of all the liv-
ing children of the testator, and
gives no part OF the vast estate to
any living child, the income alone
being disposed Of. Such wills are
not favored in law and it would be
we'll if laws we're passed here as in
New York and SONS other States
where two lives in being is the limit
of time during which the fee may
be suspended; or such as the laws
of California, prohibiting trust to
convey"

IMMIGRATION BUREAU.

The anger Of the Advertiser over
the debate in the House yesterday
regarding bureau ct immigration
leads to the belief that there is q
great deal behind the objections of
the opponents OF The measure, and
that their argument deserves to be
carefully weighed. II, as is charged,
the proposal is to flood this country
with a new population for the pur-
pose OF overpoweripg and submerg-
ing the majority vote. as it should
stand at present, we say that the
halt was called none too soon 1t
has tlawned upon intelligent minds
of the House that the scheme was
fostered by the element Of which
the Advertiser is spokesman, and
that the neiarious hope was that +,
beyond, an artificial electorate OF
mainland riffraff could be created
and controlled in such way as to
bring the reins OF power once more
i2to the hands OF the missionaries.
When the idea was first proposed
our impression was that it was an
honest effort to obtain a limited
number OF laborers for the cane
fields, and thst Dewly-sTrived
Portuguese at the port OF New York
were the people held in mind. To
this proposition there was no serious
objection. 1t now appears, however,
that, according 10 the Advertiser, it
was the intention 10 ship in lot OF
mixed peoples to take up the limited
area OF public lands, depr wing our
own citizens OF that desirable and
important privilege; and that the
ultimate aim was toby force Of
numbers and mslihini voters-crusb
the native Hawaiian and eliminate
him as a factor in politics OF this
Territory-his own country. To drive
him from the exercise OF his consti-
tutional rights aud crowd him down
to political subserviency aud serv-
itude.

According to some people it
would row seem TO bs necessary to
have steamers each way daily, free
hotels, free island trausp ortation
and frse Stree. an nd-e,sy" generally
to attract the wary touriat. Verify
the demand for our famed s,elic
attractions must have gone the way
OF our sugar stocks II this bid 8
for tourists keeps on expanding,
however, there may come time
when the Islands will sink under
the dead wight OF sight seekers.
Complaint is made that the full
adult admission fee was charged
children at Kapiolani park ra,e
track on Thursday. That was not
proper aud was unsual. Everywhere,
the fares OF children are graded SO
that none pay more than half the
adult rate. II families are to be cater
ed to, the old, established rule must
be followed, or the Jockey Club will
in future find even more people hang
ing on the fences at the ra,e tra,k.

The First Regiment is getting
some hsrd licks and a great deal in
military training at Camp Kapio-

Tslisbility OF the Advertisers con-

fesson. With the facts, then, star
ing us in the. face we think the
House was not unwise 10 shelving
the proposition. This is no time
for political plots. The time, the
place and the occasion are not fit
for intrigues and underhauded
m, thods. The persistent fort OF
the Advertiser TO draw the color line
aud to fre the impulses Of an un-
Christian race hatred will fail to
elicit approval or sympa,hy, here or
in Congress, and will only serve as a
steel to attract the wrath and con
demnation Of citiz sns OF both races,
who seek peace, harmony,prosperity
and happiness, 10 place Of factiona)
usurpation OF power.
1t is not the desire OF the psople
of Hawaii that their public lands
should be scooped up by foreigners.
There is not much OF it, aud it is
needed by residents, and had the
Wilcox bill, having as it's purpose
the proper application of United
States land laws to the lands Of this
country, been acquiesced in by Con-
gress, much Of it would already have
been taken up by native Hawaiians
and others. A limited number OF
bona fide farmers, OF good character,
would be welcomed, but the whole
sale importation of them, or en-
couragement of them, would be an
injustice to our own citiz ,ns and
unfair to the settlers, for a large
number of them could not be pro-
perly and satisfactorily accommo-
dated in this small country.
The madness of the Advertiser in
the premises can only hurt itself
and it's friends, for that form of
phobis, which is not based upon
reason and is devoid of fairness, is
not contagiou,. In the meanwhile
it should be remembered that the
Advertisers war-whoop of scolor
line" is a part of the campaign fer
the disfranchisement of the Hawaii
ans, which will end at Washington
as disastrously 10 it and it's friends
as did the last attempt OF the same
kind.
