terestedly represent the people.
This it cannot do if it admits salaried
public servants, holding their posi-
tions wholly in the favor of the
Ministry. 1t is impossible, either,
Tor parliament to represent the true
interests and the wisdom of the
nation if elected by corrupted suf-
frages. Unless the election laws are
framed on the principle that the
buyer and seller of votes, together
with the user of undue influence
and him who submits to such, are
criminals, therefore ineligible to
have any voice in government, their
participation in any election being
sufficient to render it void--then the
parliament resulting from the suf-
frages thus left liable to be bought,
coerced, or stolen, cannot be recog-
nized as being composed of the
tribunes of the people. 1t is such
a parliament as nation would be
better without, a despotic system
being even preferable, for under the
latter spirited people would find
it easier to effect change if mis-
government became unbearable.
Another requisite to parliament,
before it assumes all the privileges to
which in an ideal state it might lay
claim, is that it faithfully perform
the functions already expected of it
by the people. 1t should compel
the fullest and most open scrutiny
of the Ministry's administration OF
affairs; have no packed committees
of deliberation or enquiry take nc
excuse for Withholding information
except in the case of unfinished
work, the details of which are moi
ready to be disclosed without danger
to public interests. Upon a ques.
ton of the latter sort, it is, Of
course, always competent for par
lament to use its discretion as tc
the worthiness of the Ministry tt
hold such confidence.
There must be pure and :
faithful parliament before supreme
parliament can be aspired to. A
nation that cannot achieve the forme
cannot expect TO obtain the latter.

A speech delivered before the
subcommittee on Ways and Means,
at Washington, in opposition to the
reciprocity treaty, contains the fol-
lowing statement :-"Before this re-
ciprocity treaty was granted it was a
novelty, and almost a wonder, to
find Hawaiian begging. To-day
you can count them on the streets.
1t was indeed a novelty to find
Hawaiian begging before the treaty,
and has been and continues to be as
great a novelty since the treaty. To
a man at Washington it may be an
easy thing to count in Imagination
scores of beggars in the streets of
Honolulu, but to those who walk
those streets daily beggars are in
visible. Because why? Because
they are not there.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t has been suggested that the
continuation of Kaahumanu street
from the upper end across to King
street would be a wise. measure, and
would entail comparatively little
outlay, because most of the land re-
quired for that purpose is in posses
sion of the Government. One of
the advantages of the suggested ex-
tension would be increased frontage

A LIVELY CUTTING.
How New Merchant Tailoring House Is
Catching On" to FastidiOus People.

The Popular Tailors, at No IA East Wash
ington street, are having a wonderful run of
custom. The natural prejudice of the populace
who look upon any innovation on the old-estab-
lished prices on merchant-tailor- made garments
with disfavor, is gradually giving away The
class of patrons which are daily coming to this
establishment are among the very best and
most fastidious gentlemen of the community.
The people are learning much to their pecuniary
benefit that the profits have all along been too
large on Northumberland garments. In
fact, the prices have been absolutely ex-
travagant, and Messrs. Kahn e. Co. are
to be congratulated on the step they have
taken to throttle the extravaganza OF to-day.
It has been the custom among certain cheap
houses to send away their garments TO have
them made up by cheap hands in other cities
This Kahn &, Co. desire it distinctly understood.
they do not do. All garments are made at home
by the most skilled tailors. Their cutter has
made himself quite popular by the excellence of
his fits, and many gentlemen who have been pay
ing high priced establishments from $50 to $75
for suit aver that they have secured as perfect
fitting and good style garments as they ever had
from Kahn & Co. for $35 to $40 Some of their
500 suits are superior to many of the $35 suits
turned out by the old-line tailors. More new
goods were received last week and the store is
full of the handsomest and most desirable styles,
both foreign and domestic, ever shown in the

A WOMAN'S MANY MISFORTUNES.
A Charge of Attempted Poisoning, Abandon
mentand Wrongful Sale of Property,

Last June, in favor Of Gustav Herman, a
judgment sfor foreclosure was given against ia
cob Schmerz and wife, the Northeast Saving and
Loan Association and Barbara Schollneer
Yesterday Mrs Wilhelmina Schmerz filed COM
plant against Herman, setting out that the
judgment was taken by default She acknowl-
edges the service Of summons on June /, but
claims that for four months prior to that date
and two months afterwards she was unable to
leave the house on account of sickness. About
that time her child died. and a short time before
the suit began her husband abandoned
her. She knew nothing OF his whereabouts
nor did she learn where he was until long time
after Herman obtained the judgment and had
the property sold. which was June %. only
twenty-five days after filing the suit Mrs.
Schmerz alleges that her husband caused her
sickness by administering to her a poisonous
drug. The mere thought that he wanted to take
her life Frustrated her and affected her mind.
She also claims that the mortgage, as far as her
name is concerned, is an absolute forgery, as
Jacob Schmerz took another woman before the
notary, who acknowledged the instrument and
represented her as his wife. The complainant
asks to have the judgment set aside, the sale
Hereunder declared null and void, and that she
be permitted to come into court to defend her
rights.

BEGINNING OF A BOOM.
Growing Activity in Real Estate and Building
Circles-The Weeks Movements.

Real estate has been very active this week, in
the aggregate of sales, showing SO, 900 more than
last week. A gentlen an interested in abstracts
said, ut has been years since have had such
hTsv week as this. have had all the business
could attend to- and the outlook ID still better The
improvements contemplated on South illinois
street have not only helped the feeling in that
locality, but all over the city. Better times are
near at hand Another of the same profession
remarked: "There has been g good deal of
shifting and swapping in real estate, and at
the same time many sales. I am
busy; have a good deal of work ahead,
and believe in season OF prosperity to
the city" The sales for the week amounted to
over 1922 000 The Union Railway Company is
progressing satisfactorily in securing the title to
land it wants for the new depot Before many
days 1t is thought the whole property viii be Sc
cured without expensive and prolonged con-
domination suits.
In building circles the same buoyant feeling is
shown. Expectations are alive for fall season
Of several building enterprises involving many
thousands of dollars, but while waiting
for this to begin the contractors are
getting numerous orders for small dwellings
and business houses of moderate cost. Very
few of the permits issued the past week we're for
less than thousand dollars. The permit for the
new Y M. G. A. building and for that Of John
Faehr on South Illinois street, mention of which
has been made, swell the total values for the
week to $4,000. The first named structure is to
cost $50, 900 and the second $4,000.
