ART EXHIBITION.

to see the pictures this afternoon at
Macfarlane & Co.'s store, and was
very much surprised at the quality

from Europe and have had an op-
portunity of seeing several of the

l suppose, for its size, Honolulu
is one of the most luxurious cities in
the world; notice its many carriages
to save indolent feet and the perfect
network of telephones, but l sup
pose they are used more for gossip
than business.
However. there is hardly house
in town of any pretensions that has
not some good original paintings,
black and whites and canoe subjects
by Strong; volcanoes and stlll-life
by Tavernier; and lately young
Hitchcock has been making good
third; and here at this sale come
paintings by foreign artists to add
to the beauty and culture of Homo
lulu homes. The duties on foreign
objecJs of art are so high in America
that we have the advantage over
that country in getting better pic
lures at lower prices, and should
fully appreciate our advantages.
There seemed to be great many
people at the show and lots of pic
lures admired, and there were sub
jects to suit all kinds of taste.
Our wives and daughters are al
ways complaining of the dullness of
Honolulu. Now in the old country
the picture galleries form very
important part of lady's amuse-
ment, whether she goes there to see
the paintings or show her bonnet,
and was glad to see so many of the
fair sex at this exhibition.
The way the exhibition has been

pagated only by suckers. One spe-
cies of the native banana is said oc-
casionally to produce seeds. The
Chinese Banana, and the so-called
Brazilian, Greatly from Java), were
introduced in 1855. The kdl0 is
said to grow nowhere else in such
perfection as in the Hawaiian Is
lands. The upper limit of profitable
cultivation of the sugar cane is said
to be $500 feet on the leeward and
1900 feet on the windward sides of
these islands. The Droserd iongi-
folid is mentioned as tlesh-eating
plant, Mr.. Knudsen describing its
leaves as covered with the dead
bodies of flies in every stage of de-
composition.
The book is exceedingly well in
dexcd, but while frequent reference
is made to Waiora, no such name
appears in the list of books quoted.
The economical uses of the plants,
or their medicinal value are seldom
mentioned. An interesting account
of the cause of coffee-blight is given
on page l76. The oil of our kan,oni
nuts is said to be remedy for rheu-
matism, and the juice of the pua-
6oLd for chronic ulcers. The
aesthetic student Of our Hawaiian
flora will not find much for his use,
but that department is ably present
ed in Mrs. Sinclair's "1ndigenous
Flowers of the Hawaiian Islands"
with its colored autographs of forty
five plants. III.

rains that have recently visited
Maui, have insured immense crops.
If one could behold the satisfied
look on the faces of Major Cornwell /;
of handsome and genial Walbridge;
hear the hearty laugh of jovial
Parker Makee or witness the evil
dent satisfaction of friend Walsh,

able to supply the outside world
with their splendid sugars.
Pasturage is splendid. The corn
crops on Mr.. Louis Won Tempsky's
lands are better than ever known
before and taking all things to-
gether Maui has good reason to feel
jubilant over her future.
Our roads are now in fine condi-
ton which proves the wisdom of Mr..
Thurston in selecting'his Road Com
missioners, and their good sense in
selecting such man as Mr.. Fl.
Bailey for Road Supervisor. Well
and faithfully have these officers
discharged ther duties, and the pub
lie certainly owe them a debt Of
gratitude. This of course is due
to reform, for while the men of mis-
rule had charge, it was really dan
gerous to travel. Some of those
fellows should have been tied TO a
blind donkey with a pack of fire.
crackers fast to his tail, and started
on journey over some of the gull
lies and bitches which they called
roads. Now, all is well, to prove
which can assert that blind man

Sunday. This in itself, l think, is

LOOK INTO 1T.

The county committee has not yet
summoned up nerve to pull Donovan
from the ticket. 1t seems to prefer to
sit supinely by and see the entire ticket
dragged down rather than exercise its
evident authority in such an emergency.
1t knows just what public sentiment IS
on the matter, and it is a clear case of
lack of grit. Perhaps, however, the
committee may find nerve to in
Vestigate some of the recent talk
in relation to this Office. 1t is
whispered that school book deal is in
progress and that Mcconnell, the Re-
publican candidate, is committed to it.
The school book company, in order to
insure McCOnnelPs election, is anxious
to keep Donovan on the ticket, and it is
said is throwing soap about i'll pro-
miscuOus manner. There may be moth
ing in this, bat, as Mr. Gilman says, it
looks suspicious. The county com
mittee should know whether candi-
date OH its ticket desires his own elec-
tion or that of man on the Republican
ticket

BE ON GUARD.

There is not the slightest probability
of the Democracy being misled 10y the
efforts of the Republican papers TO pro-
duce disscnSion in its ranks. There is
not the slightest probability that Will
son will be cut for Winston. or that
Winston will be traded off for Wilson.
There is not the slightest probability
that there will be any AmeS
or any Glenn. or any any
body else, on next Tuesday,
except the candidates on the ticket
and full vote and straight vote. The
Republicans must be deperate indeed
when they so far lose their heads as to
pick up methods as silly as this. The
local party is thoroughly united on Viii
son, Rice and Winston, and there will be
no particular difference between the
totals they receive. The Republicans
know this, hence their agony.
1t is no trick like this that the Demo
Gratis have to fear. 1t m ust be some
thing deeper and more devlish. But it
is well to be on guard at this time. Tie
riot of two years ago was just such a
Republican scheme, and voters may as
well be prepared to meet just as bold
an effort this year. Be on guard, and
there is nothing TO fear.

memorable their demonstration tO-mOr

torches in line. Most of the city clubs
are preparing to turn out and make an
impressive demonstration. The next
meeting will be held at the Peoples

Next Thursday evening the Young

will all form in line and march down to

THE INTEREST WAXETH.

The women must be taking interest
in politics. 4 teacher in public school
is in the habit of questioning the
scholars as to why they are Democrats

Democrats, the school ma'am wants to
know why, and then proceeds to lecture
them upon the error of their way.

DAMAGED HIS NOSE.
A Republican Candidate in a
Sorry Plight.

A candidate on the Republican county
ticket had thrilling experience Mon
day night. As a souvenir of the
event he is now carrying badly dam
aged nose, and his identity may be easily
ascertained by this mark. He has
learned now that fOoling with another
mans wife, when the husband is about,
is dangerous sport. and especially SO on
the eve of all election. The candidate
in question was at the union depot on
the night mentioned, and there
began a mild effort to mash the
wife of Fourth street saloOnkeeper.
His attent onS were annoying, and she
informed her husband, who laid plan
to punish the masher. He was induced
to follow her up street, and finally the
husband sprung upon him, smashed him
about and then kicked him into the
gutter. The discounted candidate was
afraid of publicity at this particular
time. and by spending $50 succeeded i'll
squaring everybody. But when a Re-
publican candidate shows up with a
badly damaged nose to-day he is the
hero of the affair.
