run smoothly this year +? Of
course you do, you amt in love
with a hot box and a. wheel
that won't go round. Just try
a bottle of Climax Axle Oil and
see how it works. 1t is far
better than castor oil, which is
generally used, and is sold for
just halfthe price. This oil has
been well tried here and no
one once using it will go back
to castor or axle grease. We
can sell it to you by the bottle,
gallon or 5-gallon tin. If you
still prefer castor oil or axle
grease we have them both in
any quantity.
We have just added 81 doz.
Paint Brushes to our stock, and
can now furnish you any kind
from cheap white-wash to a
fine all-bristle paint or varnish

Carriage Gloss Paint, and your
buggy will need touching up
when the weather gets settled
Galvanized Iron Padlocks
are much better to use out of
doors than the ordinary iapd
iron locks Our new lot has
just been opened.
Gentlemen who shave them
selves know how important it
is to have good strop, and we
are selling a new style Strop,
which several of our customers
say beats anything ever brought
here. This strop is purchased
by the Commissary-
D. S. A. for use throughout the
entire army of the United
States, and is supplied to the
entire corps of Cadets, at the
Military Academy, West Point.
Try one of these strops and you
will never use any other.
The patent Clothes Rack we
sell is just the thing to use this
wet weather. You can set it
up before the stove in mo-
ment, dry out the clothes you
got wet in that last shower,
and in another moment you
can fold up your rack and stand
it up behind the door.
Garden Trowels we have
been out of some weeks, but
the last steamer brought us a
new lot, also Pointing Trowels,
Disston's Saws, Butchers
Spring Balances, assorted Tai
lors' Chalk, Brown & Sharp
Horse Clippers.
We now have a new lot of
steel and brass, long spout Lo-
comotive Oilers, the last lot
having all been sold the day
they were received.
A new lot of Binoculars and
Field Glasses, you will find
well worth looking through.
We have them all prices; also

Maximum and Minimum Their
Brush Door Mats, Just the

We are almost out of those
linen Lariats, but have sever

rider for any size net. We
ately sold a large net which
aid for its entire cost in two
auls. Who says fishing don't
ay? We have just received

a SENSIBLE NATIVE.
He Says That a Union With the
United States is Best.

A native writes from Kauai stat
ing that natives in his district are
gradually being won by the new
government. The writer says that
if monarchy could not be restored
he would prefer union with the
United States of America, and
that he would use every means in
his power to enighten his people
on the subject. Some of his reas-
ons for favoring union are these:
1. The sacredness of the tabu
of aliis [royaltyl ended with King
Lunalilo.
2. America is the leading and
invincible country in the universe.
8. The political rights of the
aborigines will be the same as the
whites.
4. The labor contract system
Will end.
D. Inc yOuInS OF HAWAII Will
be privileged to a more liberal sys-
tenn of higher education.
6. The people will be freed
from the expressions and aggres-
sions Of a privileged few.
Z. Our products will be entered
into any port of the United States
of America free of duty.
A DELUDED PEOPLE.
A gentleman at Molakai writes
that the Provisional Government
is looked upon unfavorably by the
natives there. Meetings are held
in some of the churches praying
for the restoration of ex-Queen
Liliuokalani to her throne and the
continuance of Hawaii's indepen-
dence. The writer further stated
that only a few government Off
Gals have signed the allegiance
oath, while many have refused to |
10 so, acting presumably from
false information from friends in
this city.
