the question arises,
does it pay? Is this constant
abroad caused by the
numerous reports which reach
the foreign press through the
medium of correspondents benc-
hicial to the country? In the |
mercantile community such re-
ports, whether true or false, cause
unrest. Among the thousands OF |
people who are seeking new To-
Calities in which to settle and to
whom Hawaii offers untold ad
vantages they act the same as a
quarantine flag in an infected
community. No merchant cares
to send his goods into a place
where he believes business is
constantly intertered with by
political revolutions. The farm
err does not want to build house
in a country of which he hears
nothing but conspiracies, revolu-
tons and volcanic eruptlOns
This country has been well adj
vertised as to its geographical
position. but in the interest OF
immigration it needs to be on
entirely different lines.
Through the things enume-
rated and with the addition OF
religious dlssentions which are
now being unwisely ventilated
in the columns of the press, the
world is scraping acquaintance
with Hawaii, but is it well ?
Does any one immagine that the
commercial interests in the Cen
trail American States have been
{ benefited by the revolutionary
efforts of the Ezetas, the Glen
: fuegos' and others of their bands.
Mexico is today fifty years be
} hind the times due largely to the
! constant aggitation since the
: death of Macmillan. Capital
: wanted to go across the Rio
? Grande, but capital Is timid.
Hawai- suffers today from the
, same apparent cause; thousands
perhaps millions of idle capital
is in the United States waiting
5 to be invested--if it was toe
/ timid to cross the Mexican Dor
t der it is too timld to cross the
Pacific to Hawaii. If there is tC
be revolution and the events il
which are to be written in bloOC
e let it come and have it over
/ with and settled forever anc
aye, this constant kissing IL
the pot without its coming tC
e the boiling point is monotonou'
t and detrimental to the bushes:
interests OF the country. But II
the the interests Of peace and tol
the benefit of humanity and tC
prevent a ruthless waste of blooc
it would be better-and nine
tenths OF the business people vii
agree with us, to let the differ
ences be settled by the ballo

We have an assortment O
Hanging Lamps suitable TO
Christmas gifts. The styles ar,
different from anything we have
ever had and we believe they
will be appreciated. They have

Onyx tables never go out o

able. We have half dozen very
pretty ones; some of them really
f elegant. You can't get them tol
a dollar, but you get full value
when you pay the price. Some
of the tops show the odd prank:

goods have not. Solid spoons are
more servicable, they will las
