scious weakness" is good. We suppose
that the quadrennial clean sweep Of
office-holders in the United States-an
act always performed when new party
comes into power at Washington
points to the same sort of political de-
bility there. Go too, Citizen, go to! II
this government has been weak at all the
quality has been shown by its delay
and not by its decision in the matter of
removing its foes from the civil list

We have gotten several
new ideas through the OBJ
servation of Mr.. T. J.

and we propose not only
to profit by them ourselves
but to give our customers
the benefit of the low
prices that shall henceforth
prevail in our establish

AS time rolls on, we
shall gradually unfold our
new ideas to the mutual
benefit of our customers
and ourselves.
Call and be convinced
of the sincerity of our
propositions.

TO ABJURE is TO ABDIcATE.

The critical days of January, follow,
ing Liliuokalani's abjuring her allegi-
ance to the then existing fundamental
law, were practically days of anarchy,
fraught with great dangers to the
community.
The Provisional Government which
was declared on Monday, January
18th, was, in no proper sense, revolu-
tionary. 1t was conservative of the
public peace and of the cause of law
and order.

a part of the Great Republic,
seems to be the burning ques-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentouS question,
we want to have a little 'po7O-
7Vo7v" with you on some other
subjects, that concern you as
well as ourselves.
Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be Gin it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise we'll dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
| We have already laid in a
stock of the Latest Hats Of the

and straws, and including a line

Therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
lold Tile that bears such a
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"
Believing that business will
Ibe better in the near future, we
have not hesitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance We have
almost everything you could
wish for. If you wear a stand
ing collar, just come in and
take look at our Narenta"
or "Ardonia )" or if you prefer
a turn down collar, try the

have have lots of others, and
can't fail to suit you. Cuffs in
abundance, links or otherwise.
Neckwear in profusion, scarfs
windsors Ain hands, and a
special lot Of Boys Bows"
suspenders in great variety,
leather and woven ends, good
strong, serviceable goods.
We might go on indefinitely,
but space is valuable, and to
enumerate everything we carry
would fill pretty fair sized
Book. If there is anything
you want in the mems line,
lust drop in and see US, and if
we can't suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.
If you should want a pair of
nice shoes, let us try a hand at
fitting you. Did it ever occur

How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both a soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are made

Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to 90 on feet.
: They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.

The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out, they're mended

When men wear out, they're men dead

Much is urged by the Japanese
about moral right" to vote in these
islands, which will not bear analysis. A
moral right to vote inheres to an adult
who was either born in the country
where he wishes to exercise the suffrage,
or who, after a certain length of resi-
dence there, takes the oath Of allegi-
ance to its government. He should
be man who can read and write the
prevailing language and who is not a
transient resident, coming for short
term and then intending to go else
where. Neither should he be in any
sense a bonded chattel. If under
such just rules as these, the Japanese
can make a proper showing, then by
all means admit them, when the time
comes to deal with the equal rights
question, to the voting privilege. If
not, then, to our mind, the question of
Japanese moral right to ballot may
be dismissed as an idle fancy.

NATIVE POLITICS.

There is a story out that the natives
are now willing to drop the Queens"
cause and unite for annexation with
State rights. They see that so far as
Mrs Dominis is concerned, she can
never be restored, and that any move
ment to that end will lead to confusion
and defeat On the other hand is the
pledge and promise of American cit
izenship and good times, a status that
it does not take a reasonable Hawaiian
long to make up his mind to prefer
The STAR as { friend of the native and
a we'll wisher of the islands, sincerely
hopes that the movement now propos-
ed will take practical form; and that,
in place of royalist 'leagues" and other
forlorn hopes, the Hawaiians will band
themselves into Statehood societies and
push for annexation. For one this
journal will support any liberal State
hood movement that the natives may
set in motion. So, no doubt, will the
Annexation Club and every other body
of patriotic and fair-minded people.

La FIeche Fowls.

No admirer of poultry will easily for
get the first impression at the sight of
this striking variety of fowls, says Henry
Hales in Poultry Monthly. The comb is
in the shape of pair of horns, pointing
almost straight upward. not as branching
as other French breeds. A small pair of
knobs fronts each division of the comb,
which has all the appearance of bright
red coral. The nostrils are very wide and
large, with little touch of red between
them and the beak The red face and
long, rounded wattles, with pure white
ear lObes, give the birds a truly clean
cut, wide-awake appearance. The body
is large and deep. The cock has a full
rounded tail. All the plumage is black,
brilliantly CLOSED with greenish sheen !;
wings are large, well folded up;
sized but not short legs of slaty
gray, terminating with four toes. So
much has been said about the delicate
constitutions of some other breeds of
fowls, which l have proved to be IN
founded, that am rather skeptical of
rumors of this kind, especially as the re
ports of their hardness is quite contra
dictory. It is likely somf have been much
inbred before leaving Frishce to get their
do not appear to be an old breed in
France, as nothing is positively known of
their ancestry. On good dry soil and the
climate of America they ought to be fair
ly acclimated, especially with q
good, warmly-built house, but | have
never heard of their being kept in
sufficient numbers to test their capacity.
Their flesh is said to be most excellent;
this with six or eight pounds weight

They lay large, white eggs, / think the
largest, on an average, of any hens eggs
ever saw, and rich in flavor AS they are
supposed to be closely related to the
Spanish fowl, with proper breeding fine
layers should be produced. To give this
valuable breed a fair chance, birds might
| be procured from different sources and
keep up a diffusion of fresh blood. which
would strengthen the constitution; !
have never known this to be tried. Buy
ing one pair or a trio of birds and breed
ing them over and over again, can hardly
be expected to produce very strong con-
stituted birds. This has generally been
done with the La tlechc.
Some wears ago when first brought,
from France these birds had fiat crests ;
the heads are now bred smooth; the
feathers are short and close; the bodies
heavier than they look, even outweighing
| the CreyecRurs-in Europe they some
times tip the scales 1T ten pounds Like
the once popular Spanish, they do best in
the widest parts of the country. While
there might be a marked prejudice
