VALUABLE TESTIMONY.

The article from the Holomua,
which appears in another column,
is a singularly valuable contribu-
ton to the history of these transit
tory days. In the attack upon one
faction of the royalist party, by
another faction of it, some very i'm
portant facts are coming into the
light, If the ADVERTISER, or any
sur porter of the revolutionary
movement had made these state
ments of facts, there would have
been an angry and fierce denial of
their truth.
Read this: But the right of
voting does not count against poi.
The right to govern is nothing to
gin. The Hawaiians have refused
to vote, they have refused to fight.
The poi, and the gin are yet within
their reach, and as long as it lasts,
their kick is only formal"
This estimate of the native char
acter, is made by the leading native
paper, of the royalist faction.
Many people here, and very many
more in the States, who are trying
to comprehend the revolutionary
movement, still ask, why did not
the natives spring up, in arms, like
men with convictions, and barri-
cade, if they did nothing more?
The answer is here, and out of the
mouths, not of the revolutionists, but
of the royalists themselves. They
who ought to know say, that the ma
tives prefer poi and gin to the pos
session of political rights. In these
words of the Holomua is written
the reasons for the complete, and
indeed, pathetic downfall of the
native rule. On the native high
way the fingers on the sign boards
pointed to "poi and gin," and the
people followed it. They did not
see that just beyond, was the chasm
of the revolution, and into it they
tumbled. Perhaps, the n. Y. Ma
ton will, now, understand why the
was overthrown. The
causes are given by the natives
themselves. 1t is pity that Mr..
Blount did not discover and state
the fact.
We will go further, and say, that
a "live" statesman who was push
ing Hawaiian interests in every
would cause a hundred
thousand copies of the testimony"
of the Holomua to be circulated in
the States, as the complete and
final justification of the revolu-
ton, unconsciously given by the
natives themselves.
The associate" who edit the
Holomua, have really shown sound
political sense in urging the ma
tives, indirectly, to vote. Believing
as they do, that they prefer ''poi and
gin" to political rights, they see
that the heavy vote which they
might have held, could in some
way have been adroitly manipu-
.ated, for practical" purposes.
Now the registration is closed, and
his large political force is wasted,
ike streams running to the sea.

The practice Of chewing gum
is old. Our great grandfathers
used to be gum chewers. They
gathered the gum themselves
in the woods. But perhaps
you've tried chewing spruce
gum" That was the olden
time gum. There wasn't any
better gum then. Life is too
short to chew any other sort
but BEEMAN's. It's up-to-date.
It's ready and chewable from
the start.
Mr.. Beeman says there is a
small amount Of pepsin in each
tablet. You know that pep
sin aids digestion. We have
customers who affirm that
their digestion has improved
since they have chewed BEE
MANS GUM.
Have you ever tried it? It's
a fve-cent experiment.
Give the children BEEMAN's
Gum. It's better for them
than candy; it's cheaper; it
won't upset their stomachs.

bottom drops out, as it will
some day, we have nothing
left but the climate and a
similar quality may be OBJ
tanned in California and with
out taking sea voyage. With
the vast area of land here and
the possibilities of its cultiva-
ton by farmers it might be
we'll for the Government to de-
wise a plan for inducing dis
satisfied farmers in the West
and Northwest to settle here
in a country where crops are
not retarded by frosts and
billiards.. There are men with
families on farms inWisconsin,
Minnesota and Dakota who
work and work and work and
manage to get a crop once in
three years. 1t is folly for
anyone to believe those people
are satisfied. 1t is all
work with them and no
play; they contribute toward
the schools and every
thing else that is beneficial
to their community without
having more than a chance to
live in return. A majority of
these farmers own 100 acres
of land and there is not one of
them but what can raise bet
ter crops and be happier on 40
acres of Hawaiian soil than
where he is with 100. What
the government should do is
to offer inducement of some
kind to actual settlers and to
bring the resources of the
country before them in way
that will attract their atten-
ton. The country has been
advertised extensively within
the last two years as a place
for revolutionary scares and
the location Of a volcano and
home of hula dancers. Farm
ers do not care to live where a
rifle is a necessary article of
toilet nor do they wish to
camp on the edge of volcano.
Let the islands be advertised
as a place where farmers may
settle and cultivate fruit,
coffee or cane advantageously
and we will have an influx of
people who will contribute to-
ward the support of our institu-
tions and who will patronize the
merchants. The time to do
this is now, when the farmer
is walling up his house with
earth to keep the cold out, and
packing in his winter frewood.
When these people have Ra-
wall brought directly to their
notice as a farming country
where they can go about in
their shirt sleeves twelve
in a year and never
miss a crop they'll want to
come here and live.
Lots Of them will bring their
farm machinery with them,
others who have heard of our
plows will wait until theyreach
here and get a Hendry Break
er. By the way, there
was a gentleman in here
from Maui the other day
who has tried the Break
ers and he gave it as his opin-
ion that it is the strongest and
best pillow he ever saw. He
wants more of them and that's
an indication of their worth.
Some lands of course need
irrigation, but where can a
better means be found for dis
tributing the water after a
we'll is dug than by the steel
Aermotor. We've done Won

The Destructive Jacl,daw,

In gentleman's park in the county
Of Durham, says an English writer, a
number of pheasants are reared every
year. The keeper, on going to feed
them, was surprised to find the bodies
of four Of the young pheasants lying on
the grass outside Of the cOOps without
heads. He made careful search for YER
min, such as rats or weazels, but with
out effect He left the dead pheasants
for awhile, and on his return found a
considerable number more disposed Of
in the same way. He was quite puzzled
and resolved to seek assistance. Fully
20 young ones were disposed Of, all III
the same way. After watching a con-
siderable time pair Of jackdaws made
their appearance and were not long in
commencing their raid on the young
ones again. They quietly dragged them
out from below the hens and pulled
their heads off and carried them to a
clump Of trees, where they had their
nest with young ones, and fed them with
the heads. AS soon as the keeper was
satisfied that the jackdaws were the de-
linQuents he shot them.

An old shoe containing SIX diamond
rings and brooch set with diamonds,
valued in all at $500, was given away,
with its mate, to a poorly dressed young
man a few days ago, and now the Ger
mantown police are looking for the
man. the shoe and its contents. Mrs.
Walter Leonard of Germantown was
called to the door by tramp, who ask
ed for a pair Of old shoes or some dis
carded mems clothing She told the
man to return later, when her husband
would be home. The visitor called at
the time set, and Mr.. Leonard went to
one Of the upper roons and took from
one of the closets two pairs Of trousers
and two pairs Of shoes and gave them
to the visitor.
About half hour later it dawned
upon Mrs. Leonard that she had placed
a portion of her jewelry in an old shoe
belonging to her husband, and she went
ND stairs to ascertain if he had given
the shoe away. She looked in the closet
and found the shoe had disappeared.
Her husband started in pursuit Of the
man, but was unable to find him. The
ieweEy had long been in the possession
of the family. The Leonards are said to
have had some experience with burglars
and had adopted this plan Of checkmat-
ing them.-Philadelphia Ledger

"YOu may choose a husband from

EVERLASTING LIFE.
REV. DR.. TALMAcE ON THE REST
THAT ETERNITY BRINGS.

Fame Is Vapor, Popularity Is Ephcmeral,
Riches Take Wings. but tho Everlasting
Life Is Sure and safe-An Eloquent and
Comforting Address.
BROOKLYN, Aug. 2G.-Rev. DR.. Tai
mage, who is now i'll Australia on his
globe girdling tour, has selected rs the
subject of his sermon for today, through
the press, the words, Everlasting
Life, " the text being from Micah ii, 10,
"Arise 20 and depart, for this is not
your rest. "
This was tho drum beat Of a prophet
who wanted to arouse his people from
their oppressed and sinful condition,
but it may just as properly be uttered
now as then. Bells by long exposure
and mach ringing lose their clearness
of tone, but this rousing bell OF the Cos
pel strikes in as clear tone as when 1t
first rang on the air.
AS far as l can sec your great want
and mine is rest. From the time we
enter life a great many vexations and
annovances take after us. We may have
our holidays and our seasons of recrea-
ton and quiet, but where is the man
come to midlife who has found entire
rest? The fact is that God did not make
this world to rest in. \ ship might as
well 20 down off Cape Hatteras to find
smooth water as a man i'll this world to
find ouiet. From the way that God has
strewn the thorns and hung the clouds
and sharpened the tusks, from the colds
that distress us, and the heats that smite
us. and the pleurisies that stab us, and
the feyers that consume Us, know that
he did not make this world as a place
TO loiter in. God does everything sue
cessfullv. and this world would be
verv different world if it were intended
for ms to lounge in. 1t does right well
for q few hours. Indeed it is magnlfi-
cent? Nothing but infinite wisdom and
goodness could have mixed this beyer'
ace of water, or hung up these brackets
of stars. or trained these voices OF rlll
and bird and ocean, so that God has
but to lift his hand, and the whole
world breaks forth into orchestra. But,
after all it is only the splendors Of a
kings highway, over which we are to
march on to eternal cOnquests.
