opinions advanced by these two papers
have each their own merits; and
neither of the contemporaries is oppos-
ing the increase of wages, but widely
differing between the two is the
method or means to be adopted to
reach the goal.
"Advocates for higher wages, of
which the writer is one, are not neces-
sarily the supporters of the radical ad-
vice of the Nippu. For an illustration,
one advices his countrymen to reach
New York by n jump, while the other
advises to take a'steamer, go first TO
San Francisco, take train again in
order to reach the very identical city.
The latter step is slower, but surer.
There is nothing that is accomplished
unless it is done in proper time, place,
and by appropriate method. The ad.
vocates for immediate increase of
wages try to jump over in a leap with.
out waiting 10 consider the means. be-
ing so irritated over the subject which
they have taken up only few days
ago that they can not have time to
think.
ga careless thinker always cries for
the immediate accomplishment of his
plan aud keeps on crying and bowling
louder and louder until he loses bis
head. The man who only talks is NOT
the man who accomplishes. Therefore
the true benefaetors of the Japanese
laborers are the men who carry ont
their objects with deliberate sense and
reason.''

A SILLY SAYING.

SIT is a common but silly opin
ion prevailing among Ger.
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is
SO says a well-known English
physician. He further adds:
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so often.
siye to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, no
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
Ties which SO seriously interfere
with it's usefulness" This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in

While Mr.. Cathcart was still Assist.
ant Attorney General w. A. Kinney
came to my office one day and said that
he wanted to consult me, not in pro-
fessional way, but concerning state
of affairs that disturbed him very much.
He asked me if ] had ever heard

though Cathcart might be dangerous
man; that he had made Matchmaking
proposition to the Kapiolani Estate;
and then repeated to me the substance
of the charge already published and
certified to by j. +. Colburn, to the
effect that Mr.. Cathcart had informed
Colburn, managing director of the es-
tate, that the government had claim
