Electric Anesthetic.
Before a gathering of homeopathic
physicians in Flower hospital, Dr.
William H. King, dean of the Homeo-
pathic college, subjected a dog to an
electric current to demonstrate that
electricity can be used successfully in
place Of ether or chloroform as an
anesthetic.
DR.. William H. Dieffenbach assisted
DR.. King. Drs. King and Dieffenbach
got black-and-tan terrier in good
health, shaved the hair off the top of
ms head and back near the tail above
the lumbar region.
one electrode was placed on the head
and the other on the back. and an in
termittent current of a little more than
six volts was turned on.
The current was from the regular
street supply, modified in the specially
constructed apparatus used.
In As seconds the dog was uncon-
scious. He could be handled without
the least danger of awakening him. No
operation was performed.
OF course the somnolence continues
only so long as the electrodes are kept
in place.
When they were removed the dog al
most instantly regained consciousness,
was as lively as before the current was
turned on, and a close examination
could not discover the least i'll effects.
DR.. Dieffenbach said:
1T is the intermittency of the cur
rent that produces the somnolence
which makes it possible to perform
operations without the least pain to
TT is the after effect which makes
many persons hesitate or refuse to
take Their or chloroform.
There are no after effects in the use
of the intermittent current, and the
anesthesia is as perfect as could pos
sibly be. A battery could be used in
place of the street current if the lat
ter were not available.
THE use of this current in surgical
operations Will mean a great advance
in surgery Many of the disagreeable
features now attending it will be re-
moved.
I'VE also believe that aside from the
lack of evil after effects, operations will
be more satisfactory. in that the pat
lent will be in better condition to be
operated on.
I'VE are now looking for a man who
will be willing to submit to this form
of deadening the pain in an operation.
We are sure that it is success. -

GOOD ROADS.

A New York newspaper recently as
serted that experience proved that in
New York nine out of ten taxpayers
may be readily stirred to enthusiasm
over a discussion as to whether bet
ting on horse races should be permit
ted, although perhaps no more than
one out of the ten patronize racing
or INDUCES in betting at the track, but
that not half of them could be per-
suaded to take an active interest in
a tax reform proposing a saving of
expense to each of them. This COM
ment upon the psychology of the
breadwinner is applicable to the good
roads question. The average farmer
takes an interest in almost every
plank of a state or national political
platform and becomes the enthusiastic
partisan of one or another of the OPP
posing candidate, although the prob
ability that the principles enunciated
will be upheld by the triumphant con-
testant for honors and emolument
may be, and often is. remote. But

VICTIMS OF THE PHoNoGRAPH.

If the typewriter has to a great ex-
tent rendered the art of penmanship
useless, the monograph, which appears
in some new role almost daily, has done
its share towards retiring the profess
sional talker, not to give him the more
dignified title of orator or lecturer.
When one man in a half-hour can fur
nish the material for records" that
will carry his voice to millions of hear
ers, the natural tendency is to throw

Nature has gifted the human race with

which the words of others may pass in
a lifetime, and if one can address a

HOW HAWAII APPEARS
TO UNEMPLOYED

Editor vening Bulletin:
Through the courtesy of a friend who
had received several copies of your
paper, | was enabled to read with
interest and pleasure the written
statement and investigation, of MIR.
Trenor, into the present labor COLI
ditlons in the Hawaiian Islands. And
his comparison to the existing labor
conditions In thefistatcs and those of
Europe.
He reaches the conclusion that
conditions, in many ways, were much
better aud brighter on the Hawaiian
plantations than among many labor
irS people on the mainland.
-Four years ago | left New York
City ior the more congenial climate
iof California. It. was cold, dreary
day in the month of February. The
mercury was lowering around zero,
II cold, piercing wind almost penc-
tratcd to the bone, although at the
time ! wore heavy overcoat. Thick
snow and ice covered the streets and
sidewalks. Gangs of poorly clad
men, some of them none too robust
locking, were shoveling away the Ice
and snow, and Others took It away
by the CARLOAD Other men were
formed into line, shivering in the
cold wind, whist waiting to be en-
gagged for this kind OF work, which
at the best would last but few
days. o.,
And mt the end of II, what then?
Some of them with wives and sew
eral children To support ont of this
few days of work. Many of these
men represented the various avoca-
tions and walks of life. Many were
young, and others still in the prime
and strength of their manhood. And
there is also the daily and ever-in-
creasing bread line of New York
City. Men vino have seen better
days, respectable men, who would
rather work If they could get it than
to stand shlvering in the biting blasts
OF winter, and for what? why, Just
a loaf of bread to keen them from,
possibly, starvation. The Salvation
Army have taken many poor but re-
spectacle families from New York
City and from various parts of Eng
land and put them to till the land on
a saf-snpportiug basis, in Colorado,
and, think, also in Canada.
There are st;il thousands of men
who are out Of employment and who
would like to work If II was offered

shovel snow.
II is not case of there being any
lack of opportunity for the unem-
ployed Of the mainland to work in
Hawaii. They won't work. That's
the reality, the fact of the situation,
and recourse must be mad to people
who Will.
Despite the fact that our corre-
spondent has seen many men out of
employment in the East. we learn
through a dispatch dated the latter
part of September that DR.. Frank
Hines, immigration superintendent
of the Maryland State Bureau, was
at that time on a tour of the West
.crn States looking for "one thousand
brawny farmers" who would man the
land in the State of Maryland. Here

DR.. Hines, in his effort to turn the
natural tide of immigration from the
West back TO the East, tells the
farmers that good lands can be
bought in his State mt from $50 TO
$50 an acre, ana that they will yield
abundant crops of everything that
can be grown In the Western climate.
In addition, he tells them that Mary
land is spending 100000. for
good roads. Maryland Is one of the
few States that has no Indebtedness.
and. consequently, has low tax
rate.
DR.. Hines says that the Maryland
farms are too large. and that he has
been directing his efforts to have
them subdivideG into five or six farms
for the double purpose of increasing
the population and the productive
ness of the land. He says that most

into farms of 100 or 200 acres.
This is an instance OF the fact that
the unemployed appear to be filled

vacant farm lands and MAKE living.
Why this is so may be variously en-
planned. 1t is not fair, however, to

GIVE AN IMMEDIATE TRIAL.

There is no doubt that Mr.. Cath
cart will satisfy the expressed desire
of his dcfamcrs to meet him in court
The public can only judge from Mr..
Cathcarts acts, and the speed with
which he Is filing requests to come
into court indicates no lack of readi-
ness to m2et the charges and have
them thrcshed out where BOTH
SIDES MAY BE FULLY STATED.
II Is now important that n speedy
trial should he had on the FIRST
charge. The character of public
officer is attacked in most vicious
manner, and Cor the obvious purpose
of revenge.
If revenge and malice did not en-
ter into the situation, the charges,
known TO Mr.. Cathcart's enemies by
their own statement for number of
years, would have been brought be-
fore the public when Mr.. Cathcart
was first candidate for Office and
again when he was candidate for
denomination by the Republican con-
ventiOn.
What the people seek is the honest
facts determined by as fair court
of justice as Honolulu can produce.
Let the case lie brought to trial
BEFORE THE ELECTION TAKES
PLACE. Let jury of twelve men

The letter from the Californian--

to know why the unemployed are not

most any direction they might be
lsent. In an editorial OF your issue
for August 25th you say: What Ha-
wall aims at Is Il proper balance of
the labor population and n steady in
crease of citizen population that
will become permanent workers in
the main industries" THE specdi-
est practical method of gaining this
end is to enlist the European immi-
grant" who comes to a new coun-

the Americanization of the Territory
than any other movement that has
been started or proposed"
Now instead of making special eff
forts to encourage European immi-
grafton to the islands why not let
those efforts be confined mainly to
the United States, where ready-made
citizens, and many of them native
born, can be found, worthy men, who
need employment to support them
selves and those dependent upon
them?

and medical attendance form the

past to he brave man, and who

Is apparently placing herself upon u

for whom? And what cause has she
to do so? She is power that works
very silently. If it ever comes to a
contest for the supremacy of the Pa

ly would like to see. the English
speaking race gain and keep that
control. The Japanese, both in Cal
have been too much, already, encour-

hands of American citizens. When
this condition of things Is reversed
you will have more contented and,
| may add, patriotic body of men,
more wiling to even fight for the
land of their birth or adoption, than
you have now. An honest and indus
triOus man out OF work is discon-
tented man, and sometimes even
breaks the law where himself or fam
ily are in want. In a recent issue of
the Machinery Magazine the editor
says, During the present depression
thousands of men skilled and unsliill-
ed are engaged in the almost hope
less task of looking for work. They
spend money ana energy in about the
most discouraging task human be-
cling can engage in. Rebuffed at
