PRIZE SHOOTING.

The members of the Maui Rifle
Association assembled on Dec. 25th
! to shoot for 8 prizes, the first given
by the association since its organiz2
ton. The prizes were medals, one
gold, and two silver. They were
manufactured by Wenner & Co. of
Honolulu, and are very handsome
specimens of the jewelers. art.
They are all of the same size and
nearly the same design, the greatest
differentce being in the lettering. The
lower part is about the size OF a
half dollar, suspended from cross
bar by two small chains, and IN all
bearing the emblem of the associa-
ton made in enamel. The emblem
is bulls eye and cross rifle; in n
circle around the outer rim are the
words, "Maui Rifle Association !"
on the gold medal they are in enamel,
on the I'd prize, silver medal, they
are in raised gold, and on the third
the words are simply engraved. The
conditions under which these medals
were shot for, are, that the associa-
ton shall hold monthly shooting con
tests and those making the largest
score at these several meetings shall
hold the medals for one month, and
at the end of twelve months the
three largest aggregate scores shall
be awarded the medals permanently

of the policy of the Government,
was adopted as the party platform
The secretary then read the reply,
which was received with applause.
Mr.. w. II. Cornwcl said that rs
candidate he would pledge him.
self TO support The platform of the
party and would do all in his power
to promote good government.
Hon. H. +. Baldwin said that as,
candidate he would work for good
government. 1t was great sacri-
flee of time to represent them, but
his earnest and sincere desire for
good government was an induce
ment for him to go. In regard to
the clause in the reply, That mca-
sures should be taken to guard
against the undue Capitalization of
national power by promoting the
gradual extension Of sclf-govern-
ment," he fully believed in and en-
dorsed, and should work in that line
though he could see where it would
be rather expensive and cumbersome
especially in the thinly populated
districts of the country. II rennd-
ed him of what "Mark Twain" said
after returning home from here, he
likened the government to the ina
chiaery of the Great Eastern in a
sardine box. However, he believed
in it as whole and would support
it.. In relation to the Chinese he
was in favor of restriction, and had
committed himself to that policy in
the last Legislature. 1f the Chinese
are restricted to working only ., ia
borcrs, they come here with their eyes
open and know what to expect. In re-
gard to those in the country now he
admitted having been seriously puzzl-
ed as to what disposition should be
made of them. He wished to re-
spect and protect the rights of every
one, and thought the question could
be settled by wise legislation. lie
did not object TO restricting those
now engaged as laborers IN the
country, from entering the trades or
mechanical pursuits, but thought j,
unjust and oppressive to compel
children of respectable Chinese now
in the country and students who
have been looking forward to some.
thing better, to take hoe and sc
into the canelield to work. He fully
believed in Chinese restriction anC
did not look ut the matter from the
planters point of view only, bu
that the good of the country at large
called for it. He considered the
platform outlined by the Ministry
as n whole, good and sound, and hc
should support it. He said he took
q real interest in the prosperity o
the country, and if elected woult
work for the good of both foreigner
and Hawalians.
Messrs. James Anderson and l.
Won Tempsky addressed the meet
ing, saying in substance that the.
should support the platform of tn
party and would work for goot
sound government.
Mr.. Gulick, as one of committe
appointed at Makawao TO make
report at this meeting, said that n
the Chairman was absent he weul
report. At that meeting (held a
Makawao) Messrs. Baldwin, Ander
son, Horner, Kamakele, kia Ma
haolelua and Cornwell were nomi
natedlas candidates for Mobiles. Fou
I of these candidates were nominate
, at this meeting, which he thought
very auspicious fact. There bein

Woman In Politics.

Woman in politics is q success. Her
work is not on the surface, to be known
of all men, but here in Washington the
signs of her activity are plentiful. Here
is a member of the house, hble, respect
ed, holding a very high place in COM
mittee, whose wife, n rich woman, found
him poor and struggling. She married
him, educated him, pushed him into
politics, and will not be satisfied until
she has made him president, or dies
trying. There goes an army officer who
has had promotion after promotion, by
the favor of one president after another,
till he is now near the top of the heap.
How did he win SO many a~dvancementsi
BY valor or long service? No, by the
tact, push and p~ersistency of his wife.
Gen. Greedy, the Arctic hero, now holds
n high place in the army. He has sue
c~essfully commended against many enc
mics, and is likely, in good time, to reach
the summit of his ambition by having
the signal service made an Independent
army bureau, with himself at the head.
Is it Gen. Greely's Arctic record that is
bringing him this success, or his extra
ordinary ability? No. Though an able
and useful man, his success Is largely
due to the political and social genius of
Mrs. Greedy. She is indomitable, re
sourceful and devoted. Washington

Japan,s National Flower.

1t is rather a shock to admirers of
chrysanthemums to be told that in Dali
malta these beautiful flowers are crown
to be converted into insect powder. The
connection between the lovely combina-
tons of delicate color and shape is diff
cult to imagine, but since we are relia-
bly, informed that a powder is made
from them which kills all sorts of disa-
greeable chronological specimens off
hand, we must accept the fact, even
though we abhor the idea. The effective
ness of the chrysanthemum in driving
out Or destroying insects may be the
reason that it has been chosen as the
national flower of Japan. If all reports
are true, the greatest domestic trouble
the Japanese nave is in keeping their
dwellings free from the many legged
atoms that make life hardly worth the
living. 1t Is only natural, then, that
they should honor the plant that is of
such great service to them in this re-
spect. AS for us, we will use other
means to control the small intruders.
We will apply Paris green to our potato
bugs and feed our reaches on trough on
rats" We need Jul chrysanthemums in
our parlors and Conservatives, and in
