much in the way OF decency from the
dally papers, but when they begin
presenting you at your breakfast table
Win horrible cuts of wire-wraDped
human heads and other disjecfro
mr,eDlbra, it is really going too far.
ne EDITORS of the dailies care nothing
ABOUT the morals OF this community,
put they have no right TO turn our
7toihachs. But while the
ladies have our sympathy in their
crusade, we fear that they will not
accomplish much. Their ideas are
not practical enough. Permit us to
point out solution to the problem
WpIeh - Certainly practical and may
| be entirely feasible.
Mr.. w. T. Stead, a Noted English
edltor, has just begun q plan for the
foundation of an ideal daily news
| paper In Great Britain. He has asked
one hundred thousand EngIishmen to
subscribe twenty shillings each for a
years subscription to his projected
journal. He will give TO each sub
scrioer e-pound bond-nOte, bearing
HVe per cent. interest in case he shall
circulate one hundred thousand copies
OF MS daily, and ten per cent. in case
ne snail circulate two hundred thou
SAND or more. The further details Of
tne scheme can be found, by those
who are interested, in the October
number Of Dir. Stead's magazine.
Now, why can not the ladies of San
francisco Ike a leaf from Mr. Stead's
book? THey say that thirty-fve
thousand OF them have signed the
petition for the publication of the
press. Why do not these thirty-five
thousand ladies enroll themselves
as subscribers to new and decent
daily journal? Let them subscribe
ten dollars apiece for one years sub
scription; this makes the round sum
OF three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, which would be ample to
start thoroughly equipped daily
newspaper.
Ten dollars is not u large sum of
money. Further than that, there is
given for it quid pro quO-to wit, a
years subscription to clean daily
newspaper. 1t is to be presumed that
each of the thirtyfive thousand ladies
now takes a daily newspaper; the fact
that they want a better one pre-
suppOses that they read one of those
already established. The dailies here
cost about seven dollars and q half
per year; therefore, each subscriber
would practically be paying only two
dollars and a half premium toward
the publication of the press.
This sum is so small that to most
people who take newspapers it is a
bagatelle. A woman spends more
than that in year on candies; a man
spends many times that amount in q
year on cigars.
Are we to believe that these earnest
ladies would not back up their desire
for the elevation of the press at least
two and a half's worth? We are afraid
they would not. At least, we should
very much dislike to attempt to col
lect the subscriptions.
But, seriously, this plan is entirely
feasible. This is conclusively shown
by the fact that w. L. Stead, who is
an unusually successful newspaper
man, is essaying it in Great Britain.

A PRECOCIOUS GOAT.
He Breaks Up the Gravity of a
Church Service.

During the services of the Second
Congregation of St.Andrew's Cathe-
dral yesterday, a large, ine-looking
dog, the property of one Of the
sailors of the Champion, wandered
up the aisle, and commenced to
look for his master, who was pres
ent with a number of others of the
Champions crew. Not finding the
man he was looking for, he was
carried out of the church by one of
the men.
This calls to mind a ludicrous
incident that occurred in one of the
local churches some years ago. A
man-of-war was in port that had
on board billy goat that was the
pet of the crew. 1t would follow
those whom it liked with the fidel-
ity of a dog, and was made much
of by all hands.
One Sunday a number of the
crew came ashore to attend
church. Billy had been left on
board, supposedly safe, as no
more boats were thought to be
coming in. But the goat was.
smart. Those of the crew who had
gone to church were his especial
favorites, and his spirit revolted at
being left behind. So when a boat
was ordered ashore, Billy was one
of the first passengers to step
aboard.
When he got ashore, be followed,
like hound, in the footsteps of his
chums. He followed them to the
church door, and when he got
there the idea of the services being
held did not deter him in the
slightest. He moved up one aisle
and down another, searching for
his friends, but for some reason
none of them could be found.
Then he halted, directly under the
pulpit, and in as loud and resonant
voice as he could command, he
came out with three hoarse "Baa-
baa-baa's."
This was too much for the
gravity of the congregation, and
many a smile was covered with a
fan, while Billy was ANONYMOUSLY
carried from the church by a
sailor.

The Wasp's Opinion.

The conflicting news which con-
stantly arrives from Honolulu rela-
tive to the restoration of the queen
and the contradictory dispatches
from Washington show that the
Cleveland Cabinet is a great SEC
cess at keeping its own counsels.
The guesses that have been made
as the possible policy pursued by
Cleveland and Gresham have not
been verified. The news-gatherer
in Washington under the present
administration finds his path beset
with many obstacles when he tries
to penetrate the mysteries of the
White House. One fact, however,
is plain in connection with the
Honolulu complications, and that
is that royalty cannot long be sus-
tanned in Hawaii without the as
sistance of Uncle Sans troops.
The spectacle of the leading repub-
lie of the world upholding an opera
bouffe monarchy like that of Queen
Liliuokalani is, to say the least,
calculated to cause a smile among
the effete dynasties of Europe. The
sight is all the more interesting at
this time, as the oldest empires of
the world find it difficult to with
stand the trend of public opinion in
a freer government and republican
institutions. Whatever may be the
immediate outcome of President
Cleveland's policy toward the Ha-
waiian Islands, the ultimate result
cannot fail to be the adjustment
of the native monarchy and the es-
tablishment of a government re-
in most respects that of
the United States, which is the
natural protector of Queen Liliuo-
ka4aRi's dominion.-S. F. Wasp.

December II, 1898.

DecsMbeT II, 1923.
Last week we published q
testimonial from NJ. No21
regarding the practical wos5-
ing OF the Aermotor and it
brought US good fruit. Our
Hendry Breaking Plow has
been so we'll advertised during
the past year that it seems
unnecessary to devote much
space to keep it before the
public; the plow sells itself.
But when such a recommen-
dation as the following, from
a man as we'll known as Mr..
Halstead of Waialua, comes to
US, we feel that we can move
our peg up four notches in
giving it publicity. Mr..
Halstead says, under date Of
November %. 1898:
"The Hendry Breaker Plow
which we purchased from you,
has given entire satisfaction
up to date. 1t has been in
constant use now for nearly
six weeks and has seen pretty
rough use. The field in which
we are blowing having heavy
manienie sod and being very
rocky, it has had a good test
as to strength and works Won
derfully easy considering the
size of the plow, cutting a
clean smooth furrow and lay
ing the sod we'll over. I can
recommend your pillow as being
fully as good if not better than
other breakers we have ever
had in use."
IL this was the only letter of
this character we had received,
we might not feel the pride in
our successful efforts to give
the public the best pillow in the
world, but we have a score of
them. Mr.. Halstead has had
a long experience in plows
and has tried many different
makes; if there are managers
who have not tried a Hendry
Breaker, perhaps the letter
printed above will induce him
to purchase one and save both
time and horse flesh. We have
them to cut II, IA and 16
inches, and no matter what
size you use it will require
from two to four horses or
mules less than it requires in
using any other make of break
er. If economy in your horses,
mules or oxen is to be consid-
ed this is a good way to do it.

Some Historic P}a.aE

The walls CT Kilcolman castle. built
by Raleigh for Spenser, are still stand
ing. The state drawing room in which
tho poet is said to have written the
"Faery Queen" is used as stable, and
cow touches the opposite walls with
her horns and tail.
The castle of Chillon, commanding an
important mountain pass, was for ages
a favorite fortress of the dukes Of Savoy.
The stranger passes through the dun
geons below the lake where Downward
was chained and where other prisoners
starved to death up to the unaired, damp
little rooms above, and is tempted to
think that the royal dukes Were not
much moro comfortably housed than
their enemies.
But, argues the triumphant for
eigner, IF your houses are large and
luxurious, with modern appliances,
think of the immortal deeds which en-
nobled these cramped closets and mar
row closest"

not all the laurel crowns have been wont

Uses for Dudes.

The plain, everyday young man, with
a superfuity of cheek and deficiency OF
chin, who seems to have been born with
tooth for buckhorn, was born for some
good purpose, no doubt, though 1t IS

A western gentleman who runs coun-
try newspaper at home has been III New
York recently and thinks he has made
valuable discovery. He saw one OF these
young men in doorway of Delmonico's,
standing there sucking his cane gloomily
and looking almost human.

Art in ChildreH's TOYS,

The tendency to do everything better
than formerly is again shown in the
wonderful toy animals offered at fairs
and exchanges.
In the infancy Of this art rabbits and
elephants of white and gray canton
flannel, with shoe buttons for eyes and
abnormally developed legs which yet
often failed to support the stuffed bod
les dependent upon them, were the high
est specimens seen. Now, however,
realistic animals, carefully fashioned
from drawings from life, animals of nat
ural symmetry and proportions, that
stand properly and are made of colors
admirably initiating the skin or fur
with which the living model is provided
these are the present results. The
niesty Of the york in detail secures a
really wonderful effect as a whole.-Her
Point of View in New York Times.

BUSH ON THE STUMP.
He Talks to Some BOYS and
Women.

Yesterday afternoon John E,
Bush took possession of the rail-
road depot at Pearl City, and soon
after crowd of natives composed
mostly of women and boys gath
cred around him to learn what he
had to say. The speaker stood on
a large barrel. Of course he talk
ed against annexation but his re-
marks had but little effect on his
hearers, as an eyewitness stated
that there was a decided absence
of enthusiasm. A majority of the
Hawaiians who live at Pearl CITY
wear annexation badges, so an
effort is being made to win them
over to the royalist side.
Quite number of people took a
ride down to the Peninsula yester-
day. The day was fine one with
the exception of a little while in
the morning when a very heavy
shower fell at Eva Plantation.
During Saturday night or Sun
day morning the office of the plan
tation was forced open by thief.
Some change amounting to about
81 was found in a drawer by the rob-
Der. He then turned his attention
to the plantation store and after
knocking things about, the thief
departed without taking anything
of value.

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
i Large Number of People Go
TO kalihi-

The Catholic fair held at kalihi-
kai last Saturday was grand sue
cess. 1t was attended by very |
large number of people. Many |
foreigners including the Raymond
tourists were dowl there taking in
the sights. The 0. R. x L. Co.'S
cars did a considerable business
carrying passengers to the fair and
back. The fair was opened in the
morning and lasted all day.
The ground on which the fair
was held was kindly loaned for the
occasion by Mrs. G. Waller, who
together with Mrs. w. L. Wilcox
managed the fair to its successful
termination. a large lanai was
built near the entrance. Beneath
it were spread many tables laden
with Hawaiian dishes Of all des-
criptions. Mesdames Wilcox,
Meek, Hopkins and Holt, and Miss
Brooks had charge of the luau
tables. Authorities on luaus de-
clare that it was the best prepared
luau they had ever tasted. Ma
chine made poi, pigs roasted under
ground, and other Hawaiian deli
cacies were all well prepared.
About noon, when several hun
dred people were seated under the
lanai, heavy shower of rain began
to pour, and within fifteen minutes
bowls of poi and plates of all kinds
were well drenched with rain water
All within and without the tent
were wet, there being no house
within radius of 200 yards. The
rain only lasted quarter Of an
hour, however, and did not interfere
much with the good appetites O
the many visitors. Standing neal
by the luau tent was the flower
girls booth, conducted by Mes
danes Ailau and Stillman an(

in the same seattle end seat by the
aisle. Usually the other places are occu-
pied by members of my family, for we
all attend church pretty regularly, but
one Sunday recently, when for one reason
and another they had all stayed 1T home,
sat in my pew alone. Seeing plenty OF
room there, the usher brought to sit with
me a stranger | was Of course glad TO
welcome him. did not get up and step
out into the aisle so that he might pass
in bv me, but moved along TO the other
end Of the pew and let him sit III my

to me i'll another light, and it seemed as
though his sermon, coming sit did along

Special to the +. Z. ADYER TIsER'l |
The luau in honor of the first |
episcopal visit of the Bishop of
Panapolis to Kohala was held in
the grounds of the Catholic church
and school-house, at Halawa, on
Sunday, April 9th.
The Portuguese predominated,
but people of all nationalities and
creeds were there and participated
in the good cheer. As simple
Father Gulstan, our venerable
friend, came into Kohala more
years ago than he cares to count;
and he has right worthily earned
the high distinction with which
the Church has crowned his declin-
ing years. The whole affair was a
pleasurable success from start to
finish.
Another luau followed on Mon
day in his honor at Mahukona.
The weather has been very
showery of late in the lowlands.
The hills got very little of any
rain; very high winds have been
blowing. A little over five inches
of rain has fallen, so far, this
month.
On Sunday night, between II
and II o'clock, there was a slight
shock of earthquake.
4 Mrs. E. C. Bond has returned
from long visit to Honolulu.
1 Miss Wilder, of Honolulu, is on
visit to Mrs. Wight, of MANU-
kona.
4 Mr.. and Mrs. George Renton
have come to stay permanently IN
the district.
4 Messrs. J. B. Anterior and W. r
Castle have been in Kohala on
business, and return to Honolulu
by this Kinau.
Mr.. Castle addressed the natives
at Halaula on Wednesday night
} and he spoke in English to large
audience in the court house at ka
paau on Thursday night.
3 He gave us q graphic account o
8 his journey to and from Wash
5 inpton. and of what was said AM
. uune there on the SUBJECT Of annex
/ alton. He cheered us with stron.
s hopes that our application for com
plete commercial union with The
2 United States would be successful
He discussed the subject in it
various bearings, and stated his
? points with all the clearness of tn,
, practiced lawyer.
8 After his address, q great many
/ questions were asked by the audi
: ence, which were promptly an
swered. His address was not only
instructive, but highly humorous
f and was fully appreciated by the
, large and attentive audience. There
+ were frequent Interruptions of ap
f plause during the evening, and 6
warm vote of thanks to the orator
f of the evening before the close Of
the meeting.
Mr.. N. Malcolm did the honors
of the chair to the satisfaction o.
every one.
The Australia is due the day
after the Kinau sails, and if we
have to wait ten days for the for
eign mail, North Kohala will most
likely secede from the union.
