MORE WIND.-Prof Rose, who hit this
town Ia, spring to get up a class in music,
and who has been here on his uppers ever
since, doesn't like our way of dealing with
him. Because we suggested last week that
he quit dead beating and pick mp the pick

fugitive from justice, and asking why the
police don't do something.
Gently, Professor When we left Xcnia,

lent us half dollar. We are the only man
in this town who doesn't turn pale when

The Fellows ON the Other 81 de.

There would be little or no trouble
in satisfactorily settling any vexed
question if the fellows on the other
side would only listen to reason.
In all the campaigns, agitatiOns and
discussions that have ever come under
our observation the only obstacle in
the way of q harmonious conclusion
was the pigheadedness and folly OF
those incorrigible enemies of the pub
lie welfare.
Just what methods should be adopt
ed in dealing with the fellows on the
other side is a puzzling question. They
always deny our facts, and their facts
are always mere inventions. They
laugh at our arguments and their own
arguments are too ridiculous for any
thing. Then it is not pleasant to argue
with them. They are always denounc-
ing our side and our plain talk makes
them lose their tempers.
Altogether, the fellows on the other
side are hard set to deal with. 1t is
plain enough that if they can get the
upper hand the country will go to the
devil Atlanta Constitution.

Advertise Well.

Advertise we'll! tits the secret of glory; stick
to this principle fast as leech.
Think OF the names that are famous in story
advertise we'll is the lesson they teach.
How have men COMPRISED so wide a connec-
ton, made the world swallow their nos
trums at willS
lis that by constant and serious reflection;
advertise well is the principle still.
Advertise we'll, You will never repent it;
nothing more wise can business man
do.
Stick to this motto, and never forget it; ad-
vertise well-it will pail you safe through.
Advertise Welt Do not think what twill cost
youi publishers bills are but friends in
disguise.
How do you know what your caution has lost
youf Would you be wealthy YOu must
advertise.
Advertise we'll! though business be waning.
Those who spend freest must win in the
end.
Up and be DOING no need for complaining;
act for yourself. and be your own friend.
Advertise we'll! All lanes have a turning;
nothing pays better than paper and ink.
Thousands who daily this motto are spurn-
ing, find that il brings them to bank
ruptcy's brink.

English-Hawaiian Dictionary

The new English Hawaiian Dictionary,
which has been IN course of preparation for
five years past by Mr.. II. K. Hitchcock, Prin-
cipal of the Lahainaluna Seminary, has Just
come to hand from the printers. 1t is a
compact book OF $50 pages. The paper, type
and binding are OF good quality, the typo
graphical work especially being excellent.
The author acknowledges with thanks
valuable assistance received from Revs. A.
o. Forbes, L. Lyons, w. b. Olesou and C.
NJ. Hyde, d. D.. also Hon d. kakaulelio
and Hon. A. Fernandez.
The book was printed and published in
San Francisco by the Bancroft Company,
and is published here by the Board of Edu-
cation.
Four pages at the beginning are taken up
with hiuts to the correct pronunciation of
the Hawaiian language, suggestions to
teachers, key to pronunciation, prehxes and
sutfixes, the last named being furnished by
Principal Oleson of the kamehsmehs School.
The appendix contains table of abbreVl-
atoms in common use with both their Ha-
waiian and English signifcations, a vocabu-
larry of English Christian names and their
Hawaiian equivalents, common phrases
from the Greek, Latin and modern Ian
guages, rendered into Hawaiian, all of
which cannot but prove of great value, but
the masterpiece of the appendices is twelve

Fernandez to the year 1854 and continued
down TO the end of 1886 by Rev. C. NJ. Hyde,

Noticeable among the features of the die
tionary are the placing of the accents in
such Hawaiian words as do not come under
the general rules and the introduction of
synonyms of English words and illustrations
in Hawaiian of the application of the words
and their synonyms. This last feature will
add greatly to the usefulness of the book to
Hawaiians. For example, the word Line,
a., is thus defined: l. He kaha (Geom.);
Kaula. Syn. rope; 8. Aho. Syn. fishing
line; 1. Lalani, rank. Line of soldiers, lalani
koa5 Line of poetry, lalani mele; 6. Ano.

kau wahi leta Xxi. 9. Ka Poaiwaena- honua.

the Office of the Board of Education. No
doubt it will soon come into general use in
the schools as well as among readers of both

Surrender of Opium License.

The lieensee, under the notorious opium
Doodle act of the mad parliament of 1886,
has agreed to surrender his license at the
end of the current quarter, the reform legis-
lature having snufed out the pipes of Messrs.
kaunamano, Aholo, Kaulukou and the other
champions of the license bill. The repeal
act, however, takes cognizsnce of whatever
rights the licensee had under the statute,
and was intended to take effect after the e1-
plration, cancellation or surrender of the
license. An arrangement has been made
whereby Mr.. Chun Lung pays for his license
up TO March 81, 'SS, then to export the bal
ance of his stock, and meanwhile no more
importstions of the devils drug are to be
made under the license. He also gives the
government clear release of all claims
which otherwise he might have tried to en-
force in the courts By reason of the repeal
ing statute. The opiumhioense law is there
fore dead as Julius Cesar and there are few
to mourn its fate.
