NEW Amy SURGEON
FOR HONOLULU POST

Among the passengers to arrive on
the sherman today is DR.. j. D. Yost,
the new senior army surgeon at this
post. The Examiner of January 80, has
the following about him:
Or. ]. D. Yost is the first San Fran
cisco boy to gain prominence in the
medical department of the army. For
two years he has filed the position of
physician at the headquarters of the
Department of California and acted as
assistant to the medical superintendent
of the transport service.
''Now from the War Department
comes the order making the doctor the
senior medical officer of the army hos
pital at Honolulu and of Camp McKin-
ley.
DIR. Yost is but a young man. He
was kept busy yesterday responding to
the congratulations of his friends. He
will sail February 1st on the outgoing
transport. He goes as the successor
of Major Davis, who has been assigned
to duty at Manila.
Or. Yost's appointment will extend
over a period of two and perhaps three
years, but he is expected to return
here before many weeks go by. The
bill to reorganize the medical depart
ment of the army has passed the Sem
ate and the House committee and if
it becomes a law DR.. Yost will be pro-
moted to the rank of captain. In this
event he will come back to this city
and undergo an examination conduct
ed by Col. Alfred G. Girard the chief
surgeon of the Department of Califor-
MIA.
When the Spanish-American War
broke out the young physician as vol
unteer became the surgeon of the
Eighth California Regiment. When the
regiment was mustered out he joined
the regular army and served in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
DIR. Yost belongs to an old Califor-
MIA family. His father is a, member
of the firm of Croker & Co.
Or. FAIR. the surgeon of Fort Ma
son. has been assigned to the position
of DR.. Yost in the Department of Cali
fornia.''

THE SPEAKERSHlP.

If is unsound from the point OF view
of good government to select speaker
of the House because of his LOCALITY
The test should be capacity and not
Mace of residence. In its growth and
spread the spoils system has reduced
the choice of candidates for anything
TO such a fine point that one has TO
determine first whether this district or
that precinct or the particular mauka
or ,nakai side of the district or pre-
cinct should be honored, leaving the
man out of consideration altogether.
Formerly we had the English system
here which took account of brains
rather than geography, with the result
that the Legislature was an assembly
OF Hawaiis best men. Now look at It,
And observe the system which leaves
a position like the speakership open TO
scne little neck of the woods which
NAV not have produced a man fit to be
poundmaster and denies it to local
ity where brains and experience
abound. Such a system in England
would have kept Gladstone out of Of
fee: and where it is practised in the
United States, save where locality is
merely used to decide between men of
CONCEDED fitness, it simply puts a pre-
MUM on mediocrity.

SOME
NEW hBORIGINES

The Examiner says: At the Califor-
MIA Hotel is Robert Carpenter OF
Queensland who is en- route to London.
A number of months ago Mr.. Carpen-
ter says he was with DR.. A. Roth, the
protector of Northern Aborigines in
Queensland, and his small party when
they went TO Mornington Island in the
southern end of the Gulf of Carpen-
terra and found a new race of abort
gines which had evidently been separ-
ated from the mainland natives for
many generations.
1.-The new aborigines," continued Mr..
Carpenter, ARE a more primitive type
than the ordinary Australian abort
ginaI. They are not cannibals, and in
the way of water craft use but the
rrdest kind of RATS. Penny whistles
given them make them the happiest
of mortals. Our smoking pipes and
our watches constituted wonders for
them.
They do not make huts like the
mainland aboriginal. They simply col
lect heaps of grass and sleep on the
bare ground to the leeward of them.
They do not know what a basket is,
but carry things wrapped in bark when
they move from one place to another.
They are somewhat understood, but
strong and healthy. Their food con-
sists of wild fruits, fish and wheat, fire
being obtained by rubbing a couple
of sticks together. They have no per-
sonaI property, except their weapons,
everything else being shared in COM
mon.
None Of them had ever seen white
man before. Neither the men nor the
women knew the use of clothing. how
ever scanty. Strange to say, like the
mainland natives, these retrogade and
! primitive islanders have a stringent
system of tribal classification intend
| ed to represent different degrees of
relationship and to assist in preventing
! too close intermarriage. Only mem
! bers of the tribe belonging to the same
class are allowed to marry. The orr
! gin of this system, so prevalent among
all classes of Australian natives. re-
| mains an unsolved problem.

whether ne will command against Rod

full by some of the intelligent Japa-

is possible that the rest of the work

If the House wants to economist it
could begin very well by cutting out
its SO per day stenographer. The
Senate has no such employe and the
House does not need one, depending as
it does upon the daily record OF pro-
ceedings written by the clerk. All the
stenographer does is to pile up notes
which he rarely if ever takes the
trouble to transcribe and which con-
stitute a useless record.
