invariably called attention to
the usefulness of the article

brought us many new goods,
but nothing more useful than
the Clothes Wringers. There
is probably not a house in
Honolulu where certain pieces
of the weekly wash are not
attended to. Next to one of
our new Charcoal Irons with
fluting attachments, there
is nothing more general
ly needed than a wringer.
These we mention are the
very latest design. The Char
coal Iron of which we have
only a few is made of the best
quality of metal, nickel plated
on the bottom and gilded on
sides and top. Just under the
handle is the futer which IS
readily removed and attached
to the side of the iron. One
heating of the iron is sufficient
for an hours futing. By
using a huter made on such a
simple plan as this, there is
less liability of injury to the
apparel.

CABINET MAKING.
September, 1899.

Several days have passed with
out the appointment of a Cabinet,
and feeling of general tension
throughout the community is the
consequence. 1t is to be hoped
that this morning will see the end
of this state of things and the APP
pointment of Ministry able and
worthy to command the confidence
of the country. Under the Con-
stitution the final voice as to all
Cabinet making is that of the
Legislature, as the representatives
of the people, and all good citizens
are animated by the wish that the
Sovereign may be actuated solely
by the desire to conform to the
popular will. If the House insists
upon its rights, and the Queen
does not overstep hers, there need
be no conflict. It was stated last
night that certain members of the
House had signed petition for the
reappointment of one of the late
Cabinet, but we cannot believe
that any legislator can have so far
forgotten himself, the dignity of
the House to which he belongs and
the rights entrusted by the people
to his care, as to sign aay petition,
of whatever nature, on such SUBJ
iarf

To those who think Hawaii

appendage known as a Cabinet,
the following queries and sugges-
tons are made, viz:
Would not working Attorney
General, who had no Legislature
to attend, but merely had to look
after public prosecution, and give
legal advice to Government Off
Gals, be as valuable to the public
as if he had to tag around with a

the innovation will remain
there. Fancy walking out

having to hustle around for a

herself from her newest fellow

his being made a member. AS the
Government lawyer, not concerned
in politics, he would hold office, as
head clerks of the departments do,
as long as be gave satisfaction and
cared to hold it.
As for the Ministers of Foreign
Affairs and of Finance does not
the experience Of years show that
their Office work would be done,
and that it practically has been
done, by their chief secretaries?
Does anyone imagine that the
Interior Department, which has so
long been run to all intents by its
chief clerk, has depended for its
existence on ordinary Ministers
who have drawn their salaries as
the nominal heads of that depart
ment?
And finally does any one believe
that a Governor or Governor-in-
Chief, could not perform all the
executive duties required of the
heads of the Foreign, Finance and
Interior Departments?
When we come to the leadership
of the Legislature, is it likely that
as the Hawaiian body polite is
formed, four men can usually be
found who by honorable, legiti-
mate methods, by sheer force Of
ability and deserved popularity
will carry the average Legisla-
ture?
The leaders of the House Of
Commons represent great party
as a Hawaiian Cabinet is not
likely to do, unless in cases Of
great emergency. English party
government has been made to work
by the party delegating to its
leaders in the House, the actua.
Government of the British EN-
pire. The separation of executive
legislative and judicial functions
required by American Constitu
tons, as well as Hawaiian, is I'M
known in England. Lawmakers
there are administrators as we'll a;

| An English Parliamen tbs dismissed
if the ministers in power do no
sway it, or if their power is il
doubt, and a new election result:
in sustaining or ousting them, a!
the case may be. No such test O
a Hawaiian ministry is practicable
except at the biennial elections
which, as a rule, result in forcing
out the ministry before the session
| is over.
But having now the Essential
features of the American system
in the separation of the Legislative
executive and Judiciary depart
ments, why not make the Hawa
iian system harmonious with then
as we'll as with that from which
these main features are taken, By
removing the executive from thu

dietary departments?
Why can the Legislature no
make laws as well by itself a
when harangued by Ministers?
Is not the buzzing Of the Minis

Rather it is the presence of Cabi

enormous paper bag hanging
just inside our doorway. From
its size you might suppose it
was intended for a young

answer that purpose but it will
hold a ball dress and have
room to spare. The bag is

which usually pervade clothing

Mrs. Mary Welsh, widow of the late
Chas. Welsh, died at her home IN this
place, on Friday morning of last week,
aged over 20 years. About six weeks
prior to her death, and during the illness
of her late husband, Mrs. Welsh, who
had been very active lady for Der age,
fell upon the floor of her kitchen and
broke her hip, from which time until her
death, she was of course perfectly help
less and a great sufferer. In less than
three weeks after death OF her aged com
panlon, with whom she had most happily
spent the loug years of her welded life
she followed him to the spirit land. Mrs
Welsh was true and faithful wife, de
voted mother and kind friend and neigh.

The Heavens Illuminated.

Many persons in this section were great
ly interested in watching the beautiful
display of the aurora boreals in the north
ern sky on Saturday which for ever an
hour was scene Of rare beauty. large
part of the northern heavens were illum-
ined by a soft, rosy pink, growing in the
middle TO deep blood, red, while along
the edges the pink grew so delicate that
the stars were distinctly visable through
1t. Broad bands of dazzling white light.
that were constantly psling and bright
ening shot up through the ruddy glow
from the verge of the horizon towards the
zenith, making picture that will not
soon be forgotten by those fortunate
enough to see 1t. Although scientists have
made these beautiful manifestations a
study for ages but little is known of it.
That it is an electrical display Is now the
accepted theory, and is believed to fol-
low the sun spots and magnetic dlstur-
Dances. Lemstrom, the eminent Swedish
astronomer, while investigating the
aurora borealis in Lapland, succeeded in
making very good artificial lights by
coiling electric wires round a mountain
top.
During the display u Saturday night
the magnetic disturbances were very
great, and the working oe the telegraph
lines was much inteTferred with. Scen-
lists say that early returns of this display
may be looked for.
