EVA MILL WARNING.
The Union Iron Works Co. En-
terrain It's Employees.

One Of those happy events that
tend to bring employer and employee
closer together in harmony and good
will occurred on Christmas Eve at
the new mill at Eva Plantation.
The Union Iron Works Co. having
completed their contract for the mill
IA description of which has appeared
in the columns Of the ADVERTISER
from time to time), celebrated the
event in very appropriate manner.
Through the invitation of the man
agement, the entire force Of the
Works, numbering about one hun
dred, from apprentice boys up, left
the Honolulu depot Of the D. r. and
L. Go. in special train chartered
for the purpose, at 7 O'Clock, and,
before the hour was up, landed with
in stones throw of the "Pride OF
Oahu" the new Eva mill. The
building was brilliantly illuminated
with electric lights from top to
bottom. Steam was up and the
machinery in full motion, giving the
Union men an opportunity of wit
Messing their past labors on this big
piece of work. After an hours stroll
in and about the huge plant, that
genial soul Robert More, Superin-
tendent Of the Union Iron Works,
ushered all hands On the upper deck
of the big building where surprise
party was in waiting for the "honest
sons of toll" A large table was
spread with tempting refreshments
it is needless to mention, ample JUS
tice was done.
Messrs. j. n. S. Williams and
Robert More, in brief and well
chosen words, complimented the
force for the success they had
achieved, and their hearty CO opera
ton during the entire work.
Mr.. Ellis, on behalf of the en-
ployees, responded in a fitting
manner for the employees. Toasts
were drunk to Her Majesty the
Queen, the new mill, to Messrs
Kopke, Lowrie, Williams, More, Low
and others. Songs by Messrs. Rit
man, Sandemann, Charlock, More
and others helped to pass away a
very pleasant evening.
At 10 o'clock three rousing cheers
were given for the new EVA mill
and all hands boarded the train fol-
home, all with united feeling for the
grateful hospitality of Messrs. Will
liams and More. Among invited
guests were Hon. T. r. Lucas, T. A
Lloyd, and representative of the
ADVERTISER.
The ADVERTISER joins with the
Union Works employees in wishing
success in the new mill, and with the
hope that it will not be the last bull
by them-one of the finest in the
Islands, and a credit to the country
and sugar world.

to the laws, which by creating
and controlling the machinery
of nominations and elections,
has got control of the
government, and presumably
through the Government of the peo-
pie. The whole machinery of the
Government, once in their posses
sion, is utilized for their own ends, is
made business, the end of which
is simply private gain. Offices are
then means of self-enrich ment, In
struments to keep the band to-
gether. A city government like
that of New York resembles a ship
of war which continues to fly the
national flag though it has been
captured and Is being run by a
gang of pirates.
There is a great warning here
for those who are in hurry to
have the people elect all their Off
Gals at first hand. The warning is
of course to good citizens, not to
those who favor the movement in
order to make Honolulu a little
New York, in order to divide the
booty among themselves. Good
citizens, however, who wish to sec
the Government conducted in the
interest of the people, would dc
we'll to heed the warning given
above. How would they like it to
see a perfectly organized machine
here, with King Valney V. at the
head of it? If Brown or Jones
wanted to be Justice of the Su.
preme Court, he would have
to hand over $4,000 to the above
named king and take his re.
ceipt for it, perhaps, and no one
would know what became of the
money except his majesty and the
attendant satellites. This is just
what is done in New York. Do we
want it here?

CHRISTMAS AT THE
CHINESE CHURCH.

The annual gathering of the
Chinese day schools took place in
the Chinese Church on Christmas
Eve. The exterior and interior
decorations were very attractive and
unique. On either side of the steps
lines of Chinese lanterns lighted up
the approach. and passing through
the doorway, arched with palms, and
illuminated, welcome in green and
gold radiated GA Merry Xmas to
ALL" The hall and steps were lined
with beautiful pot plants, the col
umns of the church entwined in
vines and the gallery festooned with
evergreens. The walls of the church
were relieved by wheels of mouse
foot and roses and between these
illuminated notices in Chinese
characters of bright green, red, blue,
yellow and purple, signifying "Christ
is born for you all" ''The Son of
God came down into the world"
"The Holy One is Gods Son."
"Jesus came down into the world
and became man." The great fea-
ture of the evening was the beautiful
Christmas tree glistening in gold
and tinsel kindly donated by Mr..
Jaeger. The innumerable candles
and footlights gave fine effects to the
dark leaves, and over all huge star
of many colors shed its kindly light.
Prompt at O'Clock the exercises of
the evening began. The boys and
girls in holiday attire presented a
very attractive programme with the
utmost precision and promptitude,
rejecting great credit on their
teachers and their interchangeable
superintendent Miss Mary Green.
The thorough training of the
Chinese teachers, Mr.. Ho Pois and
Mr.. Kong, was evinced in the quiet
department of the boys and in the
careful rendering of their recita-
tions. The recitation christmas"
by nine scholars of the girls school,
was very pretty and effective. Stand
ing in order with fans in their hands,
each one having letter of the magic
word Christmas, recited in turn a
poem appropriately commemorating
the occasion. The proceedings were
enlivened by songs and choruses
assisted by the church choir. Much
praise is due to the many willing
workers who aided in making the
Christmas tree of 81 an unqualified
success. Afterwards presents were
distributed to the children of the
schools in the basement of the
church, all the children going home
happy in the enjoyment of a Merry
Christmas time.

THE WAY THEY Do IT IN NEW YORK.

The Eastern papers just now are
commenting on some of the hideous
features of the American system of
electing judges by the people. The
enormous contributions levied on
them simply amount to a sale of
the Office. Under the new Corrupt
Practices Act in New York State,
candidates, as here, have to make a
sworn return of their election ex-
penses. By these returns, at the
late election, it appears that Judge
Ingraham was compelled to pay
the enormous sum of $1,000 for his
nomination, in the way of a contri-
button to Tammany. There was No
question of his fitness for the Office,
none of the certainty of his re-elec-
tion-no pretence that the actual
cost of electing him, reckoned pro-
portionally, would or could amount
to more than a few dollars. This
sum of $1,000 was simply levied
and paid as blackmah, paid to an
organization absolutely unknown

HAS GERMANY THE BEST ARMY?

Those of US who are accustomed
to the idea that Germany is the first
military power of the world, and
who take it for granted that the
efficiency of her military establish
ment is greater than any other,
will be surprised to read the fol-
lowing description of Sir Charles
bikes observations at the late ma
neuvers. 1t had been generally
understood that the Review had
shown a great increase in military
efficiency, but still the language
which we cite from The Nation
will be a surprise to many:
"Sir Charles Dixie, who is prob
ably the best civilian critic on mill
tary affairs in Europe, and was a
close observer of the operations of
the Franco German war, has fol-
lowed the late French autumn ma
neuvers as a privileged guest-the
one person to whom no information
was denied and no place forbidden.
He has published the results of his
observations IN the last number of
the Fortnightly in long article, in
which he boldly declares that the
French army is now the first in
Europe, and that the issue of an
other struggle with Germany
would be extremely doubtful, with
the odds against the Germans.
This was the impression made on
nearly all the foreign officers who
witnessed the maneuvers, but Sir
Charles Dixie has worked out the
conclusion in detail, in an ex-
tremely interesting paper. He
places the French generals now in
command in the very front rank of
strategists, and evidently rates
their capacity for handling large
masses of men above that of the
Germans, now that Moltke and the
other paladins of the war of 1870
are gone. He restores the French
infantry of the new generation to
it's old place under the first Napo-
leon as the finest fighting material
the world can show, ardent, eager,
intelligent, and thoroughly disci-
plined, and first-rate marchers. Of
the artillery he speaks in praise
nearly as high; but, while praising
the horses and men of the cavalry,
thinks it the weak point of the
whole force, for want of proper
leadership. The men in high COM
mands in it are too old, cavalry
leadership needing above all things
bodily vigor, quick decision, and
courage tinged with rashness-
qualities which begin to decline
after forty"

Mr.. ENGLISH has trained six

two or three nights of Christmas

Our desire to have several OF
the thousands of dollars that
would be floating around stop
in our store has been fully re-
allied, and we have established
a reputation for good values
that was entirely unknown in
Honolulu before.
We have introduced into
the hardware trade lines that
have heretofore held places
entirely outside the charmed
circle. 1t pleased you and to
see you happy makes us like
wise.
This week the handsome
sets of Carvers will meet in
convention Silverware, Rock
wood and Novelties will be
present and may probably in

but Cutlery is King. We have
tired you with lengthy descrip-
ton of the various articles we
have thrown open to the pub
lie gaze during the past month
and we don't intend. going into
details with Carvers. There
is one set, though, that requires
more than brief mention: Ist,
it has the conventional ten
| inch blade made of the best
quality of steel. The fork and
knife steel are equally good.
The handles are made of pure
ivory, old style-no imitation

plain. 1t is a substantial Set,
and entirely new in design.
There's another-but then we

A great many inquiries have
been made lately for glass
suitable for serving ice cream
or custards. : We have a glass
cup by the last sailing vessel
from the Coast that was made
for the purpose. The design
is after one of the prettiest
cut patterns and looks we'll.
Barrels and barrels oil

So many different articles that
we don't know where to put
them: artistic arrangement OF
the lot is out of the question;
you'll not be able to see all of
it in a dozen visits, possibly not
in twenty, but you can ask for
what you want. Cuspidores

but complete in the number of
boxes for every imaginable
spice; and hundreds of other
articles.
Another article in glass is the
Fish Globe. The streams of
Honolulu produce gold fish
that pan out rich and assay a
good many dollars to the ton.
The ordinary fish globe is
not good enough for these
handsomely decorated fish so
we have imported a line in
keeping with their beauty. The
globes stand rather higher
than the old style and are
beautifully decorated at the
top. So handsome are they
that the fish will have to wear
blue ribbons around their
neck to keep in harmony with
them.
