HOUSE NOTES.

The member from Punchbowl has
started on his vacation and will
not be seen in the House
before Thursday, the day on
which the vote of want of
confidence number two is supposed
to come up. The honorable gentle
man will then be in his seat and
present his compliments to his
friends in the ministerial chairs.
Minister Spencer successfully
railroaded his bill appropriating
money for the dredger through the
House. 1t had slipped the mind
of the great statesman that a pay
ment was due to the contractors,
and the result was close to a breach
of contract. 1t was generally
wished that His Excellency would
forget that he is Minister and
disappear as the ex-AttorneyGen
eral did. His successor would UNI
doubtedly be the ever-available
Widemann.
To judge from the number of
Chinese who are being naturalized
lately, it seems evident that the
Minister of Interior, considering
the possible success of a vote of
want of confidence, intends to set
up in the future as a Chinese Joss.
He would be eminently fitted for
the billet.
1t is peculiar that the Chinese
now being naturalized are all gain
ing their point through the good
offices of members of the Legisla-
ture. 1t is impossible for the Min
lister to say "no" to his dear hon.
orable friends in the back part of
the house. No wonder that voting
runs SO smoothly when appropria-
tons for the Interior Department
are before the House.

factory.
Noble Ena retaliates and says
that the reason Noble Macfarlane
opposes an increase in the duty on
soap is that he (Macfarlane) is
agent for certain foreign soap and
holds the contract to furnish soap

TRADEMARK CASES
Hiram Walker & Sons, Of Canada, Get an
Injunction Against Chicago House.

A case recently heard before Judge
Gresham, of the United States Circuit
Court for the First District of Michigan,
goes to show that persons who use
whisky must be OH the alert if they
would escape being imposed upon.
The plaintiffs are Hiram Walker &
Sons, Limited, OF Walkerville, Canada,
distillers and bottlers of whisky known
as Canadian Club" Under the Cana
dian excise regulations whisky may re-
main in bond indefinitely, and the dis
tiller may, if he so wishes, bottle it while
still in the custody of the government
officers, and thereby obtain an excise
certificate of the age and genuineness of
the liquor IN the form of an official stamp
over the cork of each bottle. This guar
antee is naturally very much priced by
the distillers who have the old whisky to
secure it, and all whisky bottled by the
Walkerville establishment is so guaran-
teed.
A Chicago firm have put up a spirit
which they call Montreal Club" al
legged to be made by the Montreal Dis
filling Co.." which was shown TO have
no existence. In all but name, the
Walker labels were closely initiated, as
was also the official stamp of the Cana
dian excise. The proceedings were rem
dered somewhat novel by the appear
ance of Mr.. Il. A. Lash, @. c., OF Toronto
on behalf of the Dominion government,
to support the application of the plain
tiffs to restrain defendants from further
use of the counterfeit certificate. The
defendants were promptly enjoined from
continuing TO infringe upon plaintiff
trademark or labels, or to copy the Do
minion excise stamp.
A significant feature of the case was
the production by the defendants of affi-
davits by several liquor dealers of Chi
cage, who could hardly be ignorant OF
the character of the goods in question.
1t would appear that the consumer
must depend upon his own care and
judgment for immunity from such at
tempts to acknowledgements Wine and

THE HOMESTEAD BATTLE.

Part of the great works of the
Carnegie Iron and Steel Company
are situated about eight miles from
Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania, at a
place called Homestead. It has
just been the scene of a conflict be-
tween the employees and the COM
pany which has very nearly at
tanned the dignity of a battle.
There is always something to be
said on both sides in these labor
troubles. They are often melted
by Socialists and the walking
delegate" But sometimes they
arise from local differences only.
The great trades of the world are
now well united and organized in
trades unions. They have in their
turn become as oppressive and un-
just as ever the capitalist and en-
ployer were, They insist in many
instances upon an memorable scale
of wages, without regard to the ca
pacity of the laborer, proposition
as manifestly unjust as the refusal
of the employers to pay reason
able compensation.
The question at issue in Home
stead affected about 325 out of the
$500 men employed, but by the rules
of the union all take the part OF
the few. The wages paid depended
upon the output in tons of steel
billets, and were arranged upon a
sliding scale according to the price
of steel, $25 being the minimum
below which wages should no
longer be reduced. But two causes
made it appear just that this mini
mum should be reduced. When
the sliding scale was arranged steel
commanded a higher price. II
was not as low as $25, and it did
not appear probable that it would
go so low. But now it is as low as
$22, and the fall in price appears

resolution will be presented in
structing the Cabinet to send an
embassy to Johnson island and
hoist the Hawaiian flag once more.
The embassy, it is suggested, shall
consist of Noble Marsden and the
stricken out officials. 1t is safe to
bet that they will not all return to
this port if appointed. The new
name of the island will be ''Dreier"
island, complimentary to the Noble
from Kauai.
1t has been suggested that the
enterprising ADVERTISER get up a
voting contest with prizes for the
most popular all-round Legislator.
For the first prize the chances
would stand pretty even between
honorables Marsden, Paul and Oily
Bill, the latter little in the lead.
It was remarked that there are
more errors in the spelling, in the
figures and in the printing of the
Report of the Board of Education
than in any other report presented
to the House. If this be true, it is
funny, as being the work of the
Educational Bureau.
The petitions with which the
Hon. A. Horner flooded the House
last week are another example of
the intelligence of his constituents.
Another Noble skipped off last
Friday on the Kinau. Here is a
chance for Rep. Kapahu to increase
the finances of the House by fine.
Where is the Military Commit
tees report on the prohibitory
hack bill?
If the President will continue
to place Rep. White in the chair
when the House discusses the APP
preparation bill, the prospects are
that the House will be ready to adj
journ for good in four weeks from
to-day. The hon. member from
Lahaina puts the questions very
rapidly and never catches the eye
of any would-be orator, proceed
ing which he would severely object
to if he were on the floor.
The standing question in the
House and in the town is: Is there
no respectable lawyer who will
take the Attorney-Generalship in
the present Cabinet? and echo an
swers, None.

If THERE have been anv doubts

If THERE have been any doubts
respecting the ability of the new
dredge to do the work required of
it, in deepening the entrance to
the harbor, those doubts can no
longer have weight in the mind of
any person possessing intelligence
enough to decide in this matter. 1t
has accomplished more in the
thirty days that it has been at work
than the old dredge could have
done in thirty years in the same
place. The attempt to belittle the
work done, or to throw distractions
in the way of its completing the
work, borders on political insanity,
whether their opposition be in the
legislative hall or outside of it.
For thirty years the business
men of Honolulu have been calling
for action in this matter of deepen
ing the entrance to enable large
warships and steamers to enter the
.harbor, and find a safe haven, to
speedily discharge and load car
goes at our wharves and now
when an enterprising firm has
demonstrated that it can be done,
at a reasonable outlay, let all unite
to encourage this work until it
shall be fully completed. The
firm undertook it with great odds
against them, almost every nauti-
cal man and engineer crying it
down as thing that could not be
done-that though this dredge
might suck up mud in San Fran
cisco Bay, it could not suck up ouI
slippery sand. But it has, and is
doing its work at the rate of nearly
