whose troubles are often easily rectifed when
thoroughly understood. There is one good fea-
ture of the new law. that it prohibits this officer
from engaging in practice outside of his official
sphere-a pernicious custom, which no govern
ment officer should be allowed to do. Our opin-
ion regarding the employment of strangers as
officers of this government, where natives can
be employed, is well-known. We are opposed
TO the rule, for, however accom- lished statesmen
they may be, it is an injustice To Ha,ranans. and
so long as the practice is adhered to, il must
tend to retard the development of Hawaiian
talent. We all know that nothing helps so
much to create talent as The demand for II. We
have abundance Of Hatiue material, as capable
of being moulded into skilled and manly matur-
ity, as any that can be imported. There was
nothing in Abraham Lincoln, that marked him
out as likely TO be a better statesman and ruler
than 900 other lawyers in America. 1t was
accident, 50 10 speak, that made him President
while NECESSITY and OPPORTUNITY drew out his
native tact and talent, and made him the most
successful and popular American ruler since the
days of Washington.
But we need not go beyond our own shores
for Illustrations. The humble spittoOn-bearer of
haUeDdlucIld II. " " us W 1SA' ~Di4A
ties and worth to be Governor of Oahu and the
father of kings-an honor to his country and
nation. The name of KEKUANAoA is venerated
and cherished as a household word in every
dwelling from Niihau to Hawaii. In another
instance, We find 4 native Hawaiian clerk, adj
vancing from his humble position behind the
counter, and, without the aid of a high-sOund-
ing University education or foreign legal train
ing, rise to a seat on the Supreme Court bench.
Other instances might be given, but these are
sufficient to illustrate our point, and to show our
rulers and people, that there is nGtire material
here as good rs Boston, London or Paris can
produce, and far better qualified, when properly
encouraged. to add honor to the Hawaiian name.
Because Charles Sumner and Charles O'Connor,
are successful and brilliant lawyers and orators
in Boston and New York, is no reason for sup
posing that they would succeed equally well
here, be more useful, or acquire any higher fame
than our native-born lawyers. What we desire
to impress on our rulers is this-to rely more on
our natire Hd,c0iian material, and seek its de-
velopment by proper encouragement in the fill
ing of public offices. This can only be done by
employing native-born talent, and showing that
we look to Hawaiians and rely on Hawaiians
TO fill the posts of honor and duty, and to serve
the nation. So long as we rely on foreigners
we will never prosper. The child who refuses
to walk, when capable, will always cling to its
nurses arms. Necessity will create a genius out
of n simpleton. Suitable public employment,
encouragement and applause will develOpe latent
talent, and make IL hero of the humblest volun-
teer.

MISCELLANEOUS.
REASONS WHY THE
American Watch
Made at Walitans, Mass.

1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is COM
posed Of SOLID PLATES NO jar can interfere
with the harmony of its working and sudden shock
can damage its machinery. Every piece Is made and
nnlshed by machinery itself famous fol its novelty
as well as for its eecveness) and is therefore prop
erly made. The watch is what all mechansm should
be-1CCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG IND Eco
NOMICAL.s Except some high grades, too costly for
general use, foreign watches chiefly made by wo-
men and boys. Such watches are composed of sever
al hundred pieces screwed and riveted together and
require constant repairs to keep them in any kind of
order. All persons who have carried ancres.~
"iepines" and t'English Patent leverss," are per-
fectly ywell aware of the truth of this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise more than ten
years ago, it was our first object to make thorough
iy good low priced watch for the Million to take the
place OF these foreign mpositions; the refuse of for
which were entirely unsaleablo home
and perfectly worthless everywhere. 49, "
How well we have accomplished this NAV be under
stood from the fact that after many years of public
trial, we now make MORE THAN HALE or AL
THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED
SIA1ES,and that no others have ever given such uni
versal satisfaction While this department of our bus-
ness is continued with increased facilities for psrsct
work, wear at present engaged In the manufacture of
watches of the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN
10 CHRON0ME7RT 7, unequaled by anything hith-
erto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything
made in the world. For this purpose We have the am
piest facilities We have erected addition to our
main building expressly for this branch of our bust
ness and have filled it with the best workmen ID our
service. New machines and appliances have been
constructed which perform their work with consum-
mate delicacy and exactness. The choicest and most
approved materials only are used and we challenge
comparison between this grade of our work and the
finest imported chronometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for less money than foreign watches
butw do assert without fear OF contradiction that for
the same money our product is sncomparaby superior
All our watches, ofwhaever grade are fully warran-
ted and this warranee is good at all times against us
or our agents in all parts of the world. ~
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy only
of respectable dealers. An persons selling counter
feits will be prosecuted. pen c-ks
