Is Soda
Worth Fussing About?

Fussing with it means taking
pains, having everything exactly
right. If one begins, there's no
end to the fussing involved.
Maskey's in San Francisco is a
famous place for good Soda. We
visited Maskey's while there and
resolved to have equally as good
Soda at our new fountain. If we
may judge from the swarm of peo-
pie coming in for it every day, we
have succeeded even beyond our
expectations.
From our inception we have not
skimped our soda. We introduced
pure fruit Juice favors and have
served nothing else.
When the strawberry season
opened we procured fresh berries
and have dispensed them ever
since. This was a new feature.
It makes a most delicious drink,
and the people like good Soda. We
procure pine-apples when in season.
This lucious fruit has fine aroma
and you get this in the soda. You
are judge of good soda, try it.
We have added Ice Cream. We
made it in tiny freezer at first.
We thought most people didn't
care for Ice Cream, but we were
mistaken. We have increased the
size of our freezer three times and
our present one is a sumner. But
we have to send out on the warm
est days and buy an extra supply.
Ice Cream Soda made and served
exactly right can be sold at 10
cents. That's all we ask you for
it. You can have all the Vichy
you can drink for 5 cents. This is
a plain drink, but popular with
many.
We did not intend to manufac-
ture our own Soda Water but were
convinced of the necessity in a short
time. Having purchased Soda
generator, Jas. w. Turf patent, we
now make our own aerated water.
This is an improvement as we use
pure bicarbonate of soda and not
marble dust as is commonly en-
ployed in making Soda Water.
Do you take your Soda where
you happen to be, or keep your
thirst for the place you are sure of ?
This is the place to be sure of.

The movement toward the
change of system of settle
ment of accounts in the retail
trade is taking decided shape
among the business houses
and a change from quarterly
to monthly plan may be adopt
ed, but it is doubtful if a sud-
den jump from a quarterly or
monthly to a strictly cash plan
can be effected. There are
so many people here who
regularly leave their purses
at home" that it will be up hill
for the merchant to succeed if
he insists upon everybody
paying cash.
Three fourths of the men in
Honolulu work on salary;
some Of them paid weekly but
a majority of them receive
their pay at the end of the
month. This being the case
the system of rendering bills
quarterly is a hardship on Gus
toners rather than an accom-
mediation. Few of them
prepare for the inevitable
"first of the quarter" and they
are called upon to pay three
months bills with one months
salary. For this reason, if for
no other, change is advisable.
Whether the movement will
ever amount to anything re-
mains to be seen; it is a matter
for your consideration as well
as the merchants; think it over
and when you have decided
come down to the store and
look at our goods.

THE TRAMwAY AND THE PARK.

The Tramways Co. and the Ka-
piolani Park Association have got
into q very unfortunate dispute, by
which the public will be the prin-
cipal sufferers. The question be-
tween them is simply as to the
right Of the Tramway to lay its
rail within Park territory without
the consent of the Park directors.
The latter claim full control up to
a point on the Waikiki bridge
about a hundred yards from it's
eastern end. The Tramways Co.
on the other hand claim that the
bridge is public way, and the
Minister of the Interior agrees ap-
parently now with one side and
now with the other.
We have interviewed the repre-
sentatives of both parties, but their
statements are SO utterly irrecon-
cilable that it is difficult to get at
the real merits Of the controversy.
The Park directors have offered
the Tramways Co. free right of

THE MUSIN CONCERTS.
They Promise to be Fashionable
Events and Well Attended.

Mr.. Divide Musin, the famous
violin virtuoso, and his concert
company are expected this morn
ing on the Australia. Seldom has
an amusement announcement
caused so much interest as the
expected concerts. The seats are
selling rapidly and Mr.. Musin can
be assured that he will face we'll

The New York Tribune says, in
a recent article: unlike other
foreign artists who come to this
country, Musin has the wisdom of
surrounding himself with a first
class company, and is happy when
his company receive some of the
glory he receives each night, hence
his great success, both financially
and artistically, in this country.
On his last California tour he

HOMEWARD BOUND.
Ollie Swain Leaves for CALI
fornia With the Intention OF
SeffIin6.


Among the passengers leaving
by the Australia next week are
Mr.. and Mrs. o. C. Swain. Mr..
Swain has been connected with the
Honolulu Post Office nearly ten
years, having been appointed to
office during the incumbency of
Postmaster General Whitney early
in 1888. Soon after entering the
service he took his station at the
general delivery window, where he
has continued ever since, though
since the death of David Manaku,
some two or three years ago, he
has had general charge of making
up and receiving both the for
eign and domestic mails, posi-
ton of much responsibility, that
calls for great care, and thorough
knowledge of every district and
everybody living in the kingdom,
or out of it, and where each letter
and parcel belongs and should go.
The postal service will miss one of
it's most diligent, honest and faith
full employees in the departure Of
Mr.. Swain, who goes to settle on a
big stock ranch of $500 acres lover
ten square miles in extent), In
Fresno county, and learn how to
manage it's thousands of horses,
cattle and sheep, to say nothing of
the orchards of fruits and grapes,
which abound in that paradise of
vineyards, land literally flowing
with milk and honey. We wish
Mr.. Swain and his young wife all
the happiness that life in such a
favored section ought to give them,
and they will carry away the
hearty alohas of all who know
them here.

Within the past few days we
have added some very hand
some fern baskets to our
already large stock of goods
suitable for decorative pur-
poses. The trouble with the
ordinary wire basket for
flowers or ferns is that the
manufacturer economies so
much in the wire that there is
not room for more than a
handful of earth. The bas-
kets we show you are large,
we'll made and nicely decorat-
ed with gold; the chain is of
brass and the hook for use at
the ceiling is already attached.
If you're growing ferns you
will be better pleased with
your success as a ferniculturist
if you get one of these baskets.
The sugar grinding season
is closing and preparations are
being made for tilling the
land; the old plows are being
titivated off with sandpaper
SO they will "scour" and, in
many instances, the "Hendry
Breaker is being called for
by people who intend breaking
new land. Last year the Hen
dry Flows were not in
demand because they were
not in existence but there was
a great cry for a breaker that
would be light, yet strong
enough to work in unbroken
land in this Kingdom; that's
what started the idea ofmaking
a Hendry Breaker, the result
is we have a pillow that has
been successfully used in all
sorts of land. The draught
is SO light that it does not re-
quire a steam engine to draw
it over the ground and it turns
the sod beautifully without its
falling in a way to interfere
with the plow. We've enough
endorsements of this pillow to
paper a room; endorsements
from responsible managers
of plantations, men whose
lives, at blowing time, have
been made miserable through
using inferior breaking plows.
Each one bears the same story
perfect satisfaction goes
with the Hendry Breaker
If yom are a plantation man
and intend breaking land the
Hendry Breaker is the only
pillow that you can use to your
satisfaction and without con-
tributing your stock to the list
of 'motality among animals"

have seen mt to ignore THIS oHer,
taking the ground that the en-
trance into the Park is a public
highway, over which the Park
Association has no control. The
bridge has undoubtedly been
treated as a public road, and the
Government has spent thousands
on it, presumably on this assump-
ton. At the same time the soil is
Crown land, leased to the Park
Association, and has never been
formally dedicated as a public
highway. The question would
seem to be an open one, and the
counsel for the two parties to the
quarrel have probably given their
respective clients directly opposite
advice.
Last Friday the Park Associa-
ton sent the following letter to Mr..
Pain, which we are requested to
publish. 1t should be observed
that the letter was not received
until Saturday morning:
Honolulu, Fl. l., May Ii, 1892.
w. II. PAIN, Esq, Manager Hawaiian
Tramways Company (Limited),
Punahou.
DEAR SIR I am instructed by the
Board of Directors of the Kapiolani
Park Association to notify you that
they will not permit the Hawaiian
Tramways Company to extend their
line of tramway over the Kapiolani
Park boundary. Should this Motif
cation be disregarded by you, the
Park authorities are prepared to en-
force same by taking legal proceed
ings against the Tramways Com
pany. Yours truly, c
w. M. GIFFARD,
Secretary Kapiolani Park
Association.
On the same (Friday) evening a
few rails were torn up by the order
of the Park directors. This COM
pleted the breach, and the high
contesting parties have now sworn
eternal warfare.
1t is not necessary to pass on the
merits of this controversy. 1t is
difficult to acquit the Park mana
gers of petulant haste in tearing up
the rails, without even waiting for
their letter to be received. On the
other hand, it is equally difficult to
see why Mr.. Pain refused to deal
with the Park Association. The
question as to the. control of the
bridge not having been judicially
settled, common sense ought to
have told him to make some ar
rangement with the Park directors
particularly as the latter had nc
disposition to make other than fail
and reasonable terms, and were
acting solely in the public interest
But Mr.. PAINS common sense
seems to have been silent or
this occasion. The ADvER
User has been most un
justly accused of hostility agains
this gentleman, whereas il
reality, we have been watching
for an opportunity to praise him
and only regret that he seems de
termined not to give us chance
Be the merits of the quarrellin,
parties what they may, the publ
is disguised that it's interest
should be sacrificed. The Parl
should be opened to the people
and the only way it can be done a
present is by the Tramways Com
pany. Mr.. Pain has an Invaluable
opportunity to make himself anc
his company popular with the pub
lie. Let him pocket his injured
feelings, and get his line across tn
bridge, and earn the gratitude O
the community.

Vote for Prosperity at Home.

Americans, look around you and be-
hold the evidences of prosperity on every
hand. Turn from that picture of happi-
ness to the rest of the world and what
do you see? There is starvation in Rus
sia, hunger in Germany, and in free
trade Great Britain-on the banks of
the Clyde there are $4,000 men out of
work. In London thousands of men,
the bone and sinew of England, are
searching for enough to eat and are
lodging at night in crevices and holes in
the docks and swharves. This is the
great difference between a country with
protection and a country with free
trade. America has grown wonderfully
prosperous under thirty years of protec-
ton, but still the Democratic party de-
nounces protection "as unconstitutional
and fraud" and demands that we re-
duce ourselves to the condition that ex-
lists in England. Will the patriotic citi l..
zens of Ohio give their votes to aid in
the consummation of such a scheme !?
Does not every instinct of manhood and
patriotism revolt from it? If you favor
prosperity at home vote for Harrison,
the nobiest American since Lincoln,
ever elected President. ..

The Price of Tin Cans

Down in New Jersey the other day a
Democratic orator met with a painful
surprise. He declared that the McKin-
ley tariff had put up the price of tin
cans so much as to effect the price of
canned goods. One of the audience at
once arose and introduced himself as j.
A. Gennett, lifelong Democrat, and
stated that he was the present manager
of the Hightstown canning factory. He
then informed the speaker that the price
pain for tin cans at his factory in Octo-
ber, 1890, was $50 per 1000; in October,
1897. $3.50, and in 1892, $25, or saw
ing in the number used of just $780,
He thought it his duty to prevent decep-
ton and knew personally that tin cans
were cheaper now in this country than
ever before.

A Precious Pack Of Hypocrites.
[ChicagO Tribune.l


Colonel Mcclure, who edits radical
free trade paper in Philadelphia, wanted
to know in his speech in the opera-house
why hemp was protected by high duty.
He should ask Kentucky Democrats who
are not such radical free traders but
they can see the merit of tax on hemp.
Then the Colonel will find the Connecti-
cut Democrats want leaf tobacco pro-
tected. And the free trade Colonel
should also PROFOUND the question to
the free trade Democrats of North Caro-
lima why they allow a high protective
duty on their peanut crop when it is
both robbery and violation of the sacred
Constitution. He should also come
down on the South Carolina free trade
nullifers with the crushing interroga-
ton why they tolerate one hundred
per cent. protection on their rice when
in doing so they knock hole liz the
Constitution and rob the consumers of
their rice. The truth is that while Nc
Clure's party howl for free trade in the
abstract they insist on protection for
their special industries. They are o
pack of hypocrites.

Cleveland Fayors wildcat Banks.

A great deal has been said about that
portion of Cleveland's letter of accept
ance which relates to the tariff, and but
little of that part of it which deals with
the monetary question. This is not
surprising for in what he had to say
about the tariff he repudiated fatty the
principles laid down on that subject by
the platform on which he was nominated.
More attention should be paid to
Cleveland's quiet, unostentatious in
dorsement of the wildcat State bank
clause of the Democratic platform. In
his letter Of acceptance Cleveland said:
The people are entitled to sound and
honest money, abundantly sufficient in
volume to supply their business needs
Whatever may be the. form of the peoples
currency, National or st.te-whether gold,
silver, or paper, it should be so regulated
and guarded by governmental action, or by
wise and careful laws, that no one can be
deluded as to the certainty and stability of
It's value.
notes, provided their issue can be regu-
lated "by wise and careful laws" Busi-
ness men know that this is an impossible
feat, for the General Government would
not be able to control the action of State
Legislatures. Yet is It evident that if
Cleveland were President and bill were
sent to him by Congress taking the ten
per cent. tax off State bank notes he
would sign it, il Southern Democrats
told him it was all right. While he does
not recommend the repeal Of the tax ex-
plicitly, he seems to take it for granted
that if his party comes into power it will
be repealed. Probably he has no idea
what the consequences would be-.
Whether he does or does not, it is clear
that he is an unsafe man to deal with
the currency question, and whoever is
opposed to the displacement of National
money by wildcat should vote against
him and for Harrison.

Democratic Opinions of Union Soldiers.
The Union veteran who can vote the
Democratic ticket and retain his self-re-
spect is indeed thurman freak. For
some reason the leaders Of that party are
making blind and fanatical fight on
our pension system and in the discussion
of the question indulge in unstinted
abuse Of every man who fought for the
Union or who sympathizes with and up
holds the men who fought for it. Here
are some of the endearing epithets and
remarks they are applying to the old SOL
diers:
John G. Tarsney, member of Congress
for the Kansas City district, in an in
terview in the New York World, Aug.
2, 1891, said: "Fifty per cent. of the pen
sions now paid are based on fraud,
collusion and perjury. The pension roll
is loaded down with an army of bum
mers and perjurers, and must be cut
down fifty per cent. The iniquitous
Morrill, bill must be repealed. The pen
sion business must be transferred to the
War Department, and every old soldier
now drawing pension must be COM
PEELED to prove anew his right to be on
the pension roll. Public expenditures
must be retrenched by the next House
of Representatives, and the pension roll
must stand the cut"
Hon. Henry Watterson, in the Louis
vile Courier-J Journal, Of Aug. II, 1899,
referred to the pensioners as:
"Looters," "Loafers,s
Scamp Followers" "Robbers,r
"Coffee Coolers" "Perjurers,"
"Agrarians," Thieves and
"Red Nosed Patriots who Loaf about
Doggeries and Brothels.'
Charles Francis Adams, Massachu-
setts Democrat in recent article in the
Forum, designated pensioners as;
"Dead Beats" '.Maigners,s
"Bummers,n Bounty Jumpers.
"Perjurers," Greedy Claimants" I"
General Bragg, of Wisconsin, Grover
Cleveland's dearest chum, speaks Of
them as:
"Thieves,' ''Scoundrela,"
'No Self Respect" sDrones,n
"No Enterprise" mo Character %
"The Scum of the Earth
The Durham IN. C.) Globe calls them:
"Beggars."
"Dirty Lousy Rascals, who Abused
Women, Burned Houses and Stole all in
Sight. ...
I'VE wish there had been enough
Democrats in Congress to have slapped
the Lousy Beggars Of the North in their
dirty faces"
All these defamers of soldiers and every
~ &ha e.
Cleveland. On such an issue every SOL
dier and every friend of the soldier will
certainly vote for Harrison.

Swearing One for Another.

The tariff is a job from one end to the
other, the more iniquitous because while
levying tribute upon the masses for the
benefit of the classes it is supplemented by
a steadily increasing pension list, looting
the treasury to the tune of S150,000,0O0
year, two-thirds of which goes to the sup
port of coffee coolers and camp followers.
and other red nosed patriots that loaf
about the brothels of the country, swearing
one for another. - Louisville Courier
Journal
