TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE.
In the Trihunk of February 6,
the following news dispatch ap
peared: "New York, Jan. 15. Dr. Chas.
B. Harrows of this city has sub
mitted a report of a case to the New
York Obstetrical Society and out
lined a treatment tending to revo
lutionize the methods of modem
medical procedure in dealing with
blood poisoning. It would seem,
indeed, that an actual specific for
this dread ailment had been dis
covered. Briefly, the treatment
consists of the injection of formalin
into the veins.
"Dr. Kgbert Grandin, president of
the New York Obstetrical Society,
after hearing Dr. Barrow's report,
said: 'Without further trial, and
taking this case as it stands, I con
sider Dr. Barrow's discovery as the
most important contribution to med
ical science of this generation.'
"Dr. Barrow's experiments were
made upon public patients in Belle
vue Hospital. A patient was suf
fering from a violent case of blood
poisoning and had a temperature of
108 degrees and a pulse of 160. It
is said Barrows injected into one
of the large veins of the right arm
500 cubic centimeters of formalin.
The effects were almost magical.
The temperature and pulse rate
soon began to fall, and in the course
of a few' days were normal. The
patient is now practically well."
Less than one month from the
publication of this discovery, "this
most important contribution to
medical science of this gener
ation," has been successfully used
by local physicians. The import
ance of the fact cannot be overesti
mated. When it appears that the
local case was more violent than
the clinic case in Bellevue, the stamp
of validity is so much the more
strong. The application of the
specific by Doctors Grace and Hol
land, resulted in the restoration of
consciousness to the patient in less
than fifteen minutes and within six
hours, her temperature had fallen
from 107 to 101.
In the face of such discoveries
and demonstrations, there is no tell
ing what minute, the medical profesv
sion will startle the world and bless
mankind with further discoveries.
The dread secrets of leprosy cannot
forever evade the implacable ad
vance of science and bold experi
ments. The lawmaker who would
forbid or hamper the work of the
medical profession in this, one of
Disease's last retreats, is out of tune
with the century and an enemy of
the afilicted.
THE HOME NEWSPAPER.
In a recent issue the Clarinda
(Iowa) Herald very aptly says:
There seems to be a feeling among
business men that a newspaper has
no business to make money. Why
not? It is the most exacting busi
ness in the world, the most trying
in every way. It means long hours
and the greatest care in its conduct.
The newspaper has the entire pub
lic to deal with. It is criticised on
all occasions. It has to deal with
all the cranks in the community,
and to do this successfully requires
iudument and patience. It has
1 i . i r.
power, and that power, to the credit
of journalism, is nearly always
wiplripfl for the ntililin mod. No
wielded for the public good. No
question of vital concern to the
home people fails to find a strong
support from the home newspaper,
and this, too, without remuneration.
The publisher spends his money to
further these projects, and the com
munity never gives a thought to the
matter of cost to him. It is not I

HAD MAIL BREAK.
The Tost office authorities at Sun
Francisco are a long way off, but
they need n severe roasting for der
eliction of duty. Instructions were
filed with the San Francisco office
a long time ago to the following
effect: Send mail to the Island of
Hawaii by the Mntson S. S. IJnter
prise, when her date for sailing
from San Francisco will enable mail
to reach the Island sooner than if
pent by way of Honolulu. That is
a business like and sensible order,
and like all Postal instructions had
for its purpose the bettering of the
service.
The Mntson S. S. Kntcrprise left
San Francisco Wednesday Feb
ruary 18, and arrived in Hilo on
the morning of February 27. No
mail was sent by her. The San
Francisco postal officials sent the
mail for this Island by the Sierra,
which left San Francisco the even
ing before the sailing of the Kntcr
prise. The letter mail of this con
signment, arrived in Hilo Monday
evening, March 2, three and a half
days after the arrival of the Fnter-
nrise. The newspapers and second !
class matter arrived Wednesday I than they did a year ago. The ces
nightbythe Kinau five and one I sation of clearing new lands, for the
half days later than the arrival of! present, has enabled me to reduce

Such hitches in the delivery of!
mails are not tolerable and the best
kick to make in the matter is, for
every man and woman whose mail
was delayed, to write to the Post
master at San Francisco about it.
THE HILO HOTEL.
The Volcaifb House is "getting
off on the right foot." Kven Madam '
Pele is waking up to the fact and isj
starting in on at least a benefit per-1
formnnce. There is a gray side to I
this bright picture, however. The
Hilo Hotel is closed. It has been
converted into a chapel. This is
well and good, but its halls should
be awake with the vivacity and
good humor of visitors. If Mr.
Trent and Bidgood and their asso
ciates would tackle the Hilo Hotel
they would undoubtedly make it
pay. It was closed not so much on
account of lack of patronage as be-
causeof business differences between
the owners and the lessees. At the
present time we understand the
hotel property may be secured upon
better terms than were offered be-1
fore. 1 he people or Hilo will un-1
doubtedly do what they can to assist
anyone who will again open this
hostelry to the public.
The need of a hotel at Hilo Is
more acute since new life has been
injected into the hotel at the Vol
cano. The same push and energy
would make the Hilo Hotel a popu
lar and paying proposition.
Tiik Hawaiian Americans of Hilo
have set their fellow countrymen
throughout the Territory a good
example. They have canvassed the
political situation carefully and have
adopted the wise course. They
will be found in the Republican
party doing their duty. The Re-1 company.

CoiiimpI of HiuTiillniiK.
A meeting of the Hawaiian voters
of this District was held at the Hnili
Church last Tuesday night to dis
cuss the County Bill. The meet
ing was attended by the most in
fluential Hawaiian of the District
and many delegates were present
from outside places. The proceed
ings of the meeting phowed a very
flattering indication of a disposition
on the part of the Hawaiiaus to
work in harmony with the Rcpubli-.
can party in the bringing about of
local government. Some minor
evidence of desire to go it alone
against any and all policies ad
vanced by the haole was displayed
but this was more than overbal
anced by the broad minded .utter
ances of Hawaiian leaders.
The meeting was called to order
by Ben Brown who stated in a gen
eral way the object of the meeting.
He then introduced John Baker,
President of the Aloha Aina So
ciety, as permanent chairman. Mr.
Baker said: "We are here to dis
cuss the provisions of the county
bill and to talk over the policy to
be pursued by Hawaiian-Americans
after County Government shall
have been established. He asked
all present to speak their sentiments
freely and fully upon the subject in
order that an understanding might
exist between all friends of local
government. He stated that it was
well known that under the present
system the people had too little
voice in the management of their
own affairs. He said that a too
centralized form of government had
long been in existence and that the
movement for County Government
was one that would give the people
control of their own affairs."
Mr. Baker then explained the
attitude of the various political fac
tions and urged that the Hawaiiaus
adopt a conciliatory policy among
themselves and Republicans friend
ly to the bill. He explained a
marked difference between Repub
licans and so-called Republicans.
He said that the so called Republi
can missionaries, under the Re
public had deprived the Hawaiian
of his rights of suffrage and had
treated him badly in general. How
ever since annexation it has been
the good fortune of the Hawaiiaus
to have their rights and liberties
restored by real and patriotic repub
licans, He urged Hawaiiaus to
work in harmony with these who
had been of assistance to them.
Chairman Baker then called up
on Rev. S. L,. Desha to explain the
provisions and the scope of the
County bill. Mr. Desha said that
the County bill as proposed by the
Republican Central Committee at
Honolulu was merely the frame
work, and not necessarily the law
that would be passed. The Legis
lature would be called upon to alter
or amend the bill, as in their judge
ment may be for the best interests of
the people. 'With certain excep
tions Mr. Desha favored the adop
tion of the bill as drafted by tle
committee. He favored the elec
tion of District Magistrates by the
people. He mentioned the schools
and other matters which should be
under control of the people of the
County. Instead of requiring mem
bers of the police force to give bonds,
he thought it would be more appro
priate to hold the heads of the de
partment responsible. If the County
Bill should pass our past sad ex
perience with appeals to Honolulu
for funds for needed roads would be
at an end. When we have the
management of our own affairs, we
will obtain the needed money from
the County, through appropriations
by officers called County Super
visors. Mr. Desha continued, ex
plaining the provisions of the
County bill in detail, and advocated
a local Board of Health.
A number of others spoke among
them them being Keliipio and Pu
na who favored the Republican
party. Three Home Rulers from
Hamakua were for independent ac
tion. II. S. Rickard, Paauhau and
others made strong speeches in fa
vor of joining forces with the Re
publican party. A vote was taken
at the close of the meeting, in which
a majority went on record as favor
ing that the Hawaiiaus of this Is
land work with and under the Re-'
publican party.
