but the most effective are the oblong
cushions with feminine looking frill
of lace all around them. For service
as well as ornament blue denim, with
initials or a design worked on in
scarlet, is very pretty.
A nice addition to the big rocking
chair is the long, round pillow covered
with velvet or plush and finished with
puff of soft silk at each end. This
can be hung by means of a ribbon or a
fancy cord over the back of the chair
and is exceedingly pretty as well as
useful Green velvet and light blue or
pink silk is a favorite combination,
blue and brown is effective and two
shades of one color always harmonic
well. Care should be taken to make
the pillow perfectly round.

What the Bill Repeating the Purchasing

The bill that caused such long de-

one time threatened to upset ''sena-

such a formidable looking affair after
all as to length. It is short, and debate
on it occupied nearly three months and

ACCIDENT TO A BATTLEsHIP.
The Boilers of the Texas Drop Out of Their
support.

WASHINGTON, Nov. At would seem
as if there had been another blunder
by some one in connection with the re-
cent accident to the battleship Texas
at the Norfolk navy yard The acct
dent, it is charged. was due to care
less inspection of the material used I'M
der her boilers. or else to a miscalcula-
ton in determining the strength of the
supports necessary to hold up the boil
ers when filed with water. What
really caused the vessel to list over and
lead people 10 believe she was about
to turn turtle was the breaking
of the supports under the boilers, and
almost allowing the two boilers to go
through to the bottom. Fortunately
the accident happened alongside the
dock, and did no serious damage, but
it showed that when the Texas was
designed there had not been a proper
consideration paid to the strength of
the plates under the boilers. Had the
boilers broken through when the YES
sci was in commission and at sea they
might have gone through her bottom
1t will take about $4,000 to repair the
damage

and innumerable others not to be
heard and are they to be treated
like the rest of the Ignorant and
frightened passengers Verify
the conceit of the little clique
represented by the Advertiser Is
of a decidedly corrugated nature.
But the editor can be sure OF one
thing that if the United States
should cause a plebiscite to be
taken here, it is for the purpose
of learning the true will OF the
Hawaiian people. The desire
of the P. G.. and Its hackers
have been presented to them long
ago and there are no doubts IN
that direction. Always remember
Thurston's words in the
last Legislature: The United
States will never annex
these Islands against the will of
the Hawaiian people. How
unpalatable it may be now to the
successful Snowman and unsuc-
cessful statesman he spoke the
truth.

The gifted geographer and
divine diplomat, who rakes up
the editorial garbage of the Star,
has made one more break in
another outburst of slush in the
intervals between insulting and
outraging women and woman
hood with his slanderous lies,
and lecturlng the Provisional
Councils on law, craftsmanship,
and diplomacy. and bellyaching
for the unprovided for members
of the annexation club. This
time he informs us there are
1000 900 soldiers under arms in
Europe. We have previously
exposed his utter ignorance of
geography, diplomacy, and law,
and excused his general dis
regard of truth in his utterances
about local affairs by showing his
inexperience derived from his
recent arrival among US so that
we can only ascribe these start
ling figures to his innately
audacious plagiaristic habits by
having stolen the article bodily
out of some Eastern paper, or to
his custom, so thoroughly ex-
emplifed in his property and
taxation statistics, of looking at
all figures through a quintuple
magnifying lens.

Hawaii has been the subject of

the press. Everything which
could have been said has beeen

in the fullest manner and sub

Further debate is useless. What

can say now can have no effect.

we are of continuance of sub
ject which has been threshed
threadbare. We propose to give
them a rest on the why's and
wherefore we should or
should not be annexed and sub

The Advertiser editor may
sugar coat the pill as much as he
pleases; he may talk about the
Hawaiians being favored passen-

adopt parental tone and he may
say that common sense-although
contrary to principle-will leave
the destiny of Hawaii in the
hands of the officers of the ship.
He may do all this, but the pro-
position to disfranchise the
Hawaiians and to allow the
future of their country to be de-
cided by the self-elected few
whom the Advertiser represents

WHIT RESTORATION
MEANS.

There has been a deal too
much loose talk and loose writing
as to the results to be expected
from restoration to power of
the Constitutional Government of
Hawaii, whose functions were
suspended in January last through
the hostile interference of United
States naval forces, acting under
the command of John l.. Stevens,
American Minister to the Hawai-
ian Government.
In order to understand what a
restoration of that government
would imply, it is only necessary
to know what were its constitu-
tional powers at the time of its
enforced suspension. There Is
no especial lack of information
upon this point. All whoare atall
informed concerning the Hawai-
ian Constitution know that the
government is administered by
the Cabinet, who are responsible
alone to the Legislature. The
latter body being one-half
popular, in its composition,
that is, half Of its members
being elected by an open,-while
the remaining half are elected by
restricted franchise including a
combined property and income
Qualifications follows that the
property interests of the
country are exceptionally well
represented in the body which
control absolutely the course of
legislation, while it also possess
es the power to retire a Ministry
at will. There would seem, TO the
unpreiudiced observer, nothing
very terrible in the prospect OF a
return from our present condi-
tons of a government of discre-
ton and indiscretion-(eh
the latter to Constitutional
forms and guarantees such as
previously prevailed.
But the gentlemen who are
now administering our affairs for
their own benefits, and those of
their sisters, their cousins, their
aunts and more remote append
ages of the delectable family
compact, profess the uttermost
horror at what they most disingen-
ously term 1.-THE restoration
of the Queen. That phrase is a
grossly exaggerated representa-
tons of future conditions. If
the Queen shall return to Her
place, it win be merely as an

Tie editorial in this mornings
Advertiser headed why should
not the japanese vote in a pie
bescite!' is amusing through its
intrinsic weakness. The editor
evidently misunderstands the
great democratic principle of zone
man. one vote. He explains it
as meaning that a man residing
in country becomes entitled to
a vote simply, because he resides
there. Not so indeed. If a man
resides in country and fultills
the qualifications which the con-
stitution of such country pre-
scribes for the privilege of exer-
cising the voting franchise, he
becomes naturally entitled to
vote irrespective of color, race or
financial circumstances. We can
hardly believe that the editor of
the Advertiser will claim that
every man residing within the
borders of the United States is
voter? And in the taking of a
plebescite the same rules apply as
do under any ordinary election.
The Hawaiians are entitled to
vote, because that right was
granted in the constitution of
1887, now supposed to be the
fundamental law of the land-a
constitution made by the very
hackers and supporters of the
Advertiser. The Chinese and
the japanese are not entitled to a
vote under that constitution, nor
are persons who haven't resided
here within a certain length of
time or persons who haven't paid
their taxes or criminals. But
the proposition of the Advertiser
to disfranchise a nation which
has exercised the right of voting
for half century, and in that
time brought their country to
wonderful degree of prosperity is
not alone contrary to all demo-
cratic principles but it is simply
Infamous.
