systematic PIunderinE OF indians.

Springfield Mass.) Republican.
The Communication from Agent Brosius
OF the Indian Rights association shows once
more the greed of the white man, which at
every point endeavors to defeat the efforts
OF the government to do justice and see fair
play to the red man. 1t is a shameful thing
that constituencies spectators should still
be appointed to the responsible post of
Indian agent. If anything like the conduct
Of Agent Honnell and his gang should be
attempted in respect to white settlers in
any part Of the country, how quick would
be the Indignation Of the country And
should 1t be less quick to resent this abom-
Unable injustice? What is the matter with
the Indian bureau, which Of late years has
been supposed to select honest men for
agents? Is there any excuse to be offered
foe the state Of things at this Kansas
agency?

In his message to the South Dakota
Legislature Governor Charles N. Her
reid INDUCES in these caustic refec-
tons about the inspection of illuminat-
ing oils:
The inspection law Of our state, to say
the least, is simply a burlesque. Strenu-
Gus efforts have been made with biennial
regularity that would prevent the state
from being the dumping ground of inferior
oil that cannot be disposed Of in other
states. The adjournment OF the legisla-
ture is usually celebrated by a ~particu-
larly noxious stencil from every lamp chin
ney in the state. These distressing cOndi-
tions have at various times become in
tolerable.
What Spplies to oil inspection in South
Dakota would apply with equal force to
oil inspection in Nebraska. If the lamp
chlmneys could only speak they would
emit volumes of indignant protest
against the oil inspection burlesque.

How 1T is Done in

Sometimes the back aches with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making you
weary and restless; sometimes pain
shoots across the region of the kidneys,
and again the loins are so lame to
stoop is agony. No use plastering or
rubbing the back in this condition. You
cannot reach the cause. To exchange
a bad back for new and stronger
one, follow the example of this Homo
lulu citizen:
Mr. A ]. Cahill, of Fort street. this
city, night Waterman in the employ of
Messrs. 7. H. Davies & Co., Ltd, says:
whilst a young man I was a sailor
and at one time worked for the Inter
Island service. 1 was. however,
obliged to give up sea life on account
of severe suffering from my back and
kidneys. For this 1 had tried various
remedies, but the one which restored
me to health was Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills-procured at HOLSTERS
Drug Store. They relieved me COM
pletely after years of suffering. If any
one desires further particulars he may
apply to me. 1 am to be found at Van
Dorn's Ship Chandlery, Fort street.

which helped Mr.. CahflI. See that the

LABOR AT WORK
AGAINST ASIATICS

At the monthly meeting of the Build
ers' and Traders Exchange held last
evening, L. E, Pinkham was appointed
a committee to wait upon Commissioner
Sargent and ascertain time and place
when the members of the Exchange
may confer with him upon Island Ia
Dor conditions. The Exchange has
recommendations to make in regard to
labor here and it will draw the Com
missioner's attention especially to the
employment of Asiatic labor upon
United States government work per-
formed here in the past two or three
years.
Secretary Avery. who was reelected
the ensuing year, was instructed TO
write to the trustees of the baseball
league, asking that in the contract for
the construction of the grandstand and
fitting up of the new grounds, clause
be inserted that no Asiatic labor shall
be employed thereon, and any viola
ton of this clause shall nullify the
contract.
The Secretary was also instructed to
write similar letters to the secretaries
of the Y. NJ. C. A. and Y w. c. A,
asking them to employ non-Asiatic
labor on the cottages about to be
erected at Wahiawa as vacation homes.
The request in the latter two instances
is to be made on the ground that the
funds so far raised have been largely
contributed by non-Asiatics and the
benefits win be mostly for .non-Asiatics
1t was stated that the Exchange has
no AFFECTION, as general thing to
Americanized Asiatics, but it is largely
the coolie class to which it is opposed.
The Directors decided that the Ex-
change was large enough in member
ship to reduce the dues from So to SO
per quarter, and this was so ordered.
sliding scale for initiation fees was
also recommended This proposed that
the fee be IS until the membership
reaches 100 persons, and after that
s25.
The collection of accounts was taken
up. The secretary was authorized to
collect accounts from members of the
Exchange, whether accounts are
against members or outsiders The En-
change has had a system of account
collecting between members. Members
were given ten days to pay and if not
then paid their names were to go on |
delinquent list.

NO NEED TO SUFFER so.

"She bears her sickness pa
tiently she makes no COM
plant" How often we hear
that said and how it stirs the
pity in our hearts. There are
plenty of sufferers of whom it
is true,-of both sexes and all
ages. The success of modern
science, however, in combating
disease is at once cause for
gratitude and wonder. 1t is well
to bear pain patiently, yet is
it not better not to be 06giqed
to bear. 1t at aH2 Yes, say
we ALL" if we can only pre-
vent suffering or get rid of it.
Well, the medical art is MAX
ing a great record along this
line in these days. Remedies
have been discovered within the
past few years which prove
how sincere and persevering has
been the search after knowled ge,
and how rich the reward. Chief
among these splendid results is
WAMPOLE'S. PREPARATION
now known and used all over
the world. For one thing it
solves the vexed question of
how to employ cod liver oil in
consumption and other wasting
diseases without doing more
harm than good. This alone is
a victory second to scarcely any
in the history of medicine. Dis
carding the Objectionable pecu-
liarities of this otherwise valua-
bic drng, the preparation, which
is palatabfe as honey contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and the Extracts of Malt
and Wild Cherry. 1t expels the
germs of disease from the blood
and supplies flesh and strength
to the wasted and feeble BODY.
1t creates appetite and causes
your food to nonrish you. 1t is
a wholesome medicine guaran-
teed to do what is claimed for
it. Effective from the first dose.
