Seed Pot atoes.

Yes the time to look for seed
potatoes has come and while you
are looking, remember that Beau
ty Of Hebron is better than the
Rose to eat, and is better yielder
and keeper; that the Stray Beauty
is the finest and earliest for garden
culture, natures too early for bugs
or drouth to hurt it, but is not a
large cropper; that the New Queen
or sometimes called Prairie Queen
is among the very best early va
rieties for yielding, keeping and
eating; that while the Rural Blush
does not always beat the Empire
State for a yield as a second early
variety, there is nothing on the
list that is better to eat or keep
till the new crop comes. If you
want something that Yields well
and sells we'll on its looks, with
out respect to quality, get Nam.
moth Pearl, Pea1less or Burbank's
Seeding. There are 500 varieties
not named here all the best and if
you want good unmixed seed send
to some reliable scotsman, who
makes potatoes a specially, or
some reliable grower at home.
Potatoes do not mix except in the
bin or measure and careful hand
ling will keep them clear.

No. 5, township 81, range IA, in
county and state aforesaid, and
that again on the night of Feb. 13,
1871, after said school house had
been rebuilt, the same was again
burned and destroyed. aud again
on the night of Feb. 81, 1891, the
old school house belonging to said
district was burned and totally
destroyed, by fire. The court
therefore believing tn same to be
the work OF an incendiary, by vir-
tue of the authority vested in it

THERE'S MILLIONS In II.

The reciprocity scheme for trade
with South America grows IN pop
ularity, as the great benefits OF
this wonderful business policy
unfold before the people. That
these benefits will extend to all
classes of labor in the United
States, is now beyond all question,
as study of the products and
present condition of South Ameri-
can countries Will show.
South America has hitherto
been breadless continent. Wheat
cannot be grown outside OF Chill
and the Argentine Republic, and
every effort to cultivate it out
side of these two countries has
proved an utter failure. The re-
suit is that bread is almost un-
known, and none but the wealth.
est can afford to indulge in the
luxury. A loaf of bread is meyer
made except on special order and
then it costs SOC or more. Butter
is worth 81 a pound, and ham,
"good old sweet ham" so common
on the tables of the working men
of our own country, retails at 70c
per pound, ard ale luxuries that
can only be afforded by the rich.
But in addition to the market for
agricultural products, it will open
the same market for our manufac-
.tured goods, such as cotton goods,
leather goods OF all kinds, hard
ware, glassware, cutlery, and ma
chinery of every description.
They are not a manufacturing peo-
pie, and do not even repair
machinery that is broken, but
throw it aside and substitute q
new article.
This is the market that is open
ed to us by reciprocity. 1t will
start the plow, forge and spindle,
and infuse new life into every de-
partment of trade and business.
1t will furnish the forty-f mil
lions of people of those countries
with the necessaries of life. and
will distribute directly to our own
agriculturists and laborers the
$4,000, 900 gold that have gone an
nually to those countries TO liqui-
date the trade balance against us.
When we consider that this vast
and lucrative market has been so
long enjoyed by other countries
to the almost total exclusion Of
the United States, and now so
soon to become our own, it is not
strange that "Blaine and bust
ness" has become the cry, for
the people readily see that there S
millions in it.

Hon. jerry Simpson sprung
a hoary-headed chestnut when he
asserted that the Republican par
ty WAS dead. We have heard that
same story at irregular intervals
for many years, but the Repuoli-
can party goes right along advo-
eating al that is best aud most
patriotic for the country. Many.
people are sometimes le ! astray
by gl'ttering genera'ities, as some
Republicans were last year, but
they always return 10 the Repub-
can fold, just as the thousands
will do next year. When the Re
publican party dies it's death will
be followed by the funeral OF lie
publican institutions and the peo-
ple are not ready yet to welcome
a dictator.
during the campaign last
fall the Democrats made great
deal of capital of lac incrc ased du-
ty upon tin plate. The increase
of luty under the Mckinley bill s
sci per ton, and the Democrats
claimed that it must come ont of
the pockets of the working classes
who are the chief consumers Of
TN ware. English manufacturers
of tin plate are now otfeling to
continue their contracts to furnish
tin plate after July l, at the same
prices as before. This means that
English manufacturers of tin
plate have decided to pay the tariff
out of their own pockets, and fol
each ton shipped into this country
S24 will go into the treasury of the
United States, while American
consumers will get the tin plate
without any increase in price.

NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY.
a New Political Party in the
Field.
Messrs. Bush, Wilcox and Nawahi Or
ganize New Hui Kalaiaina.

The old armory on Queen street
was crowded with human beings on
thursday evening. They were in
obedience to call of Messrs. Bush,
Wilcox and Nawahi. Members of
the old Hui Kalaiaina were there
also to see what the Liberalists would
do. Not small number of those
present were minors. Old men, who
are too feeble to think for themselves
We're also well represented. At the
back part of the house were a crowd
OF che ia men discussing their affairs.
When censured by a bystander for
bringing che ia into political meet
ing, the brightest of the men said
That the success of the Liberal party
Tor Libel party as he termed it, de-
pended on che ia. Politics and che
ia will work together hand in hand
at the next election.
AS soon as the meeting was called
to order, Hon. J. E. Bush was NOM
mated for the presidency, and was
unanimously elected. On taking his
seat, he repeated the usual formula
used by a president on taking his
seat. In the course of his remarks, he
said that he had received frequent
offers of 800 to quiet his paper, Ka
Leo, but that was below his dignity.
He would not hush his paper for
$1,000. He spoke also of the lament
able figures of those sent by the Hui
Kalaiaina to the last Legislature.
They were complete failures. He
recommended the secret ballot sys-
tenn now in vogue, and thought that
it had raised the dignity of the Ha-
waiian voters. They were not driven
to the polls like dumb beasts with no
will of their own. He offered himself
as a candidate for the coming Legisla-
ture, and promised them that he
would fight fearlessly for the welfare
of Hawaii.
After little discussion, the Hon.
Jos. Nawahi, of Hilo, was elected
Vice-President. J. Prendergast and
Male were chosen Secretary and
Treasurer respectively. Executive
Committee: D. w. Pua, J. w. Pipi-
