Too Important.

A certain dry goods clerk was
in the habit of saying to his asso-
ciates that the concern would find
it pretty hard to get along without
him. These remarks came to the
ears of the senior partner, and he
called the clerk into the inner
Office. Mr.. Jenkins" he began,
"you have been very efficient, and
we highly appreciate your services,
but we have heard it said that if
you were to die, the business could
not possibly survive the loss. This
has worried us grealy, for you, like
all the rest of US, are liable to drop
Off suddenly. We have concluded,
therefore, for our peace of mind, to
experiment while we are both in
good health, and see if the concern
can bear up under your loss. You
will accordingly consider yourself
dead for one year, and we will try
to get on without you for that
length of time"

SPRECKELS' VIEWS.

Claus Spreckels, the sugar king,
arrived in New York on November s.
He drove at once to the Hoffman
House. Mr. Spreckels said he had
been in Europe for rest, and not in
order to extend his business.
at is big enough already" he
said. He had worked very hard of
late years, and he thought he earned
a vacation. His sons, he said were
able to take care of his business,
which really was theirs also, and be
had left everything to them.
Mr.. Spreckels said he thought
that the high tariff on sugar had
operated severely against the Ha
waiian Islands. But he did not be
lieve there was to be any advantage
gained by annexation to the United
States.
"If," he said, Eve cannot raise
sugar at a profit in the Hawaiian
Islands we can raise coffee profit
ably, and the best in the world"
81 have no idea that England
would want to annex the islands.
All talk of that kind is the sheerest
nonsense. England has no interest
in Hawaii. There is only one seri-
GUS contingency in connection with
the Government of Hawaii. The
present heir apparent is the daugh-
ter of Scotchman, and is being
educated in English schools. She
may incline towards English inter
ests when she ascends the throne.
but if she is well advised she will
advocate the neutrality of the ISL
ands. The United States does not
need them. But this Government
cannot afford to have foreign
Power take possession.
eff England should assume control
over Hawaii and Samoa she would
have clean passage of the Pacific
from Vancouver to Australia. Amer
lea could never stand that. The peo-
pie of Hawaii do not want and would
not submit to English control. They
would voluntarily annex themselves
to the United States first, but beyond
all, they would rather be independ-
ent."
Concerning his own plans for the
future Mr.. Spreckels said: 81 do not
intend to abandon my fight against
the sugar trust. When I began the
fight the trust had determined to put
Its foot on my neck. Before I left
America I had my foot on the trusts
neck. There is no money in sugar
for any of us now, but I am losing
as little as any of them. Perhaps 1
can afford to lose as much as any of
them. I am going over to my re-
finery in Philadelphia and then I
may go to California. S. f. Elk

A LETTER signed nTruth (which

A LETTER signed "Truth," which
appears elsewhere, calls attention
to the "Pall Mall Gazette Inter-
view with Sister Rose Gertrude"
published in these columns last
week. We made no comment upon
the Interview at that time, chiefly
because it seemed, in Honolulu,
where the facts are well known, to
require none. AS to the curing of
leprosy, we know of no WELL
authenticated case of any cure, and
were not aware that DR.. Lutz
claims to have effected any cures.
The allegations with regard to
the healing of this dread disease,
referred to by our correspondent,
are, however, by no means the only
ones in this interview which cannot
be substantiated. Without going
into what is now almost ancient
history, it is sufficient to say that
the article in question does not
present correct view of the facts,
and that it is a libel on the good
ladies of Honolulu.

WE publish IN another column
an account of the trial of two
sailors in the Police Court, which
deserves serious attention. Com.
plants of the brutality of the po-
lice are SO frequent that it is i'm
possible not to believe there is
some foundation for them. We do
not of course pretend to say what
the facts really are in this parti-
cular instance, but it is not likely
that accusations SO often repeated
apparently SO well attested, and
coming from different parts of the
group, do not point to real griev-
ance.

going another of their kaleido-
scopic changes of opinion. Mr..
Wilcox's enthusiasm for his adored

he is now airing his great love for
the Queen. Mr.. Bush has revived
the Treaty, and is shouting himself

During the past year Homo
lulu has been inflicted with oc-
casional visits from tramp
correspondents who fill that
portion of their anatomy usu-
ally allotted to brains with
ideas of the condition of affairs
here and then unburden them
selves in the columns OF any
paper that will pay them at
SO much per line. The visits
of these fellows are to be de-
plored, though, to the people
who live on peaceful Hawaii,
their writings SAVIOR of the re-
diculous.
A few weeks ago, according
to one of these tramps, we
were on the verge OF a revo-
luton. We like to be in time
for everything-it don't make
any difference whether its soup,
dessert or a fracas. If there's
going to be a revolution you'll
want fire arms. We've got
them now and particularly adj
apted to such a revolution as
we are going to have. They're
called Cadet Rifles and shoot
blank cartridges. They are
used in the Sta by young
men learning to drill and that's
what most of the boys will do
with them here. They are
built light and shoot a 81 cal.
blank cartridge-breech load
ing and everything about them
is of the most modern pattern.
They have bayonets on them
the proper size to jab one of
those correspondents with.
Your boy will want one the
minute he sets eyes on them.
He'll find them just the thing
for firing Christmas salutes.
We've also received a lot of
Sure-enough Fire Arms. New
style revolvers- hammerless
and all that sort of thing. Blue
and Nickel-plated barrels, as
you prefer. These are the
very best revolvers made.
So many of the followers of
Isaac Walton have recent
ly called on us for fishing
tackle that we decided some
time ago to get a supply of
the very things they need to
land the festive Wlma or the
luscious mullet.
Our hooks run from the No.
I2-about the size of a small
bent pin to one large enough
to hook a shark. The lines
run from a No. Isl to $50 in
llnen-strong and long; and in
cotton from a No. 90 to a No.

We will sell you single
line or enough to catch all the
fish in the sea.
The building boom that
Honolulu is now experiencing
has created an additional de-
mand for mason's stone ham,

short of them. The Martha
Davis brought us a lot that
look to be the best ever used
by a mason. These are made
with teeth and are finished in
in every way.

The HOuoIuIu Market.

MAN WHO WANTS = TO -KNOw-YOU-
KNOW ASKS SOME QUESTIONS.
Mr.. EDITOR: As one of the pub
lie, who is ashamed of the tumble
down, filthy cid wreck which now
does duty as market, should
like to inquire why the new mar
ket is not put in q condition to be
used.
| hear that there is not enough
of the appropriation unexpended
to finish it. If this is so there GER
tainly must be enough to put in a
floor and stalls of, at least, por-
ton of the building; anything
would be better than the old build
ing. If the appropriation is not
enough, it is a pertinent question
to ask why the original bid
of some $4,000 for erecting the
market, which had been accepted
by the previous Minister after a
call for competitive tenders, was
dropped by the present incumbent
of the Interior Department, and a
new call for tenders issued, which
resulted in the awarding of the
contract for about $4,000?
Whatever the answers to these
inquiries may be, l would sug-
gest to you, Mr.. Editor, that it is
very proper field for investiga-
ton by public journal on behalf
of q suffering constituency. The
present Market is standing dis
grace to the country, and an offense
to all the seven senses of every
civilized member of the commu-
nifty.
MAN WHO WANTS TO- KNOW YOU
KNOW. -
Mr.. EDITOR: In a recent issue
you print, without comment, an In
terview between SISTER Gertrude"
and q correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette, IN which it is evident
quite q number of mis-statements
are made. Would it not be in the
interest of truth in printing such
articles for the editor to quietly
state the facts in u parenthesis near
the mis-statement? Then q person
reading the GAZETTE in England or
America would not take Sister
Gertrude's statements for facts, as
they surely will on reading them in
the GAZETTE without contradiction.
AS I understand it, the medical
fraternity of the world deny that
there has yet been a single we'll
authenticated cure of case of
leprosy since Our Savior's time,
yet Sister Gertrude boldly asserts
that DR.. Lutz has cured lepers. Is
this so? Ii it IS so, DR.. Lutz will
be q millionaire in very few
years.
If is is NOT so, Sister Gertrude is
stating a falsehood, and ought not
to have the sympathy of the read
ers of the Pail Mall Gazette.
We all know that the OUTWARD
APPEARANCE of leprosy can be re-
moved by medicines, but that is not
curing it by any means. 1t will
come out again, and IN the mean
time the Ieper is at large among his
fellows, perhaps spreading the
disease.
/ would like to see the name of u
single leper perfectly cured by DR..
Lutz.
Sister Gertrude insinuates that
the Government would not allow
her to stay at Molokai. Is this so?
