DRINKS on Saturday and Sunday. They
did not appear for trial yesterday morn
ing, so enriched the treasury OF the
Kingdom by FORGETTING their bail.
All 10y is Monaghan with very
decided taste for pretty lamps, he was
found walking off with one from the fire
on King street last week; he was tried
and found guilty and sent to Jail for one
year and fine of $50.
The next case for the Judge to decide
was that of a young man by the name of
Mariana; this individual has evidently a
failing for ardent spirits. He was caught

sent him to repent for ten days and pay

a Gents for the

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
1t is hardly necessary TO direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one OF the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
OF our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the Or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. It
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.

In spite of the blow which the sugar
industry has received, there are those
who think that we are about to enter
upon period of great expansion and
consequent prosperity. Without depre-
ciating this optimistic view it is impor-
tant to note that it depends largely
upon US, upon our active use of oppor-
tunities, whether we attain to this pros
perity or not. If we do not SOW the
seed, we cannot expect to reap the har-
vest. The sugar industry has received
severe shock, aud the country has
been rudely awakened from its soft
dreams of fancied prosperity. The
question to be settled is what steps must
be taken to guarantee our continued
prosperity. 1t is clear that our safety
depends on our relations with the
United States. We are simply COM
mercial dependency of the great re-
public across the water, and the bonds
that unites US must be drawn more
closely. To this end the diffusion of
more general and more correct informa-
ton about Hawaiian affairs is indis-
pensable, and in these days of canards
the Importance of such information must
be obvious to every one. The tourist
travel to these Islands is capable of an
almost indefinite expansion. 1t might
yield an income of several millions a
year. II it comes the country will be
opened mp by a network of roads which
will give to thousands of acres of arabic
land ready access to market. With
the realization of these conditions the
prosperity OF the country will be assured
and We can laugh at sugar tariffs.
The Worlds Fair at Chicago is our
great opportunity. If we neglect it and
fold our talent in napkin we shall have
earned our inevitable fate-and will see
the prosperity that we have, taken from
as and added to the riches of him :" that
hath ten talents"
