Little Giant rat traps have
been known to catch two rats
at a time: we sell them to
catch one at each setting, If
they do more than that you
are the winner.
We have a large stock OF
brass and painted bird cages
which we are selling at very
low prices to meet the strln-
geucy of the times. Birds are
luxurles and should be kept as
economically as possible; the
first step in the direction OF
saving in expense OF a
luxury of this sort should
be at the cage - often
the bird costs you nothing.
The painted cage is the cheap
est and will last until you
grow tired of it.
We heard a funny thing the
other day about the material
for our locked fence. We have
been shipping this to custom
ers all over the group without
regard to politics, age, sex or
previous condition of servitude
of the person ordering it. At
Lahaina, we have a customer
who recognized in the locked
fence the best fencing he ever
saw, and gave us an order.
When the goods reached the
port, some curious individual
examined the bundles of stays
and concluded at once that
they were steel ram rods for
guns and Immediately started
a rumOr that we were shipping
arms to the other islands. The
only thing that surprises US is
that the efficient clerk at the
Marshafs Office has not been
down to see why we had not
procured a permit. We can
understand how the curious in
dividual took the stays for ram
rods; they are made Of steel
and are about the same size DIS
the old fashioned article used
for hammering in the powder
and shot. Any of the old
timers here will remember
what a steel ram rod is and
will understand from the COM
parison what a steel fence
stay is like and almost how
much pressure it will stand. It
is about the best description
we can give you. They cost
you only six dollars a hundred
and the washers fifteen cents
a pound. Send US an order
and let US assist you that far
IN making the best fence you
ever saw.

THE UNION PLATFORM.

The platform prepared by the
committee, TO furnish foundation
for the Union Annexation Party is
published in another column. II
contains nine articles, and there is
little in any of them to which any
reasonable man can object. First of
all comes the declaration of unalter-
able opposition to any and every
form of monarchy in these islands,
followed by an equally emphatic
declaration In favor of political
union with the United States.
These two things are the essence
of the platform, and should be suf-
ficient to unite in the bands of
party unity all good annexation
lists.
Next in Importance to the two
articles referred to, come the de-
clarations in favor of free labor
and a liberal land policy. Both
are peculiarly appropriate and
timely. One of the good things
which the new era should put an
end to is the land monopoly which
has so long retarded the prosper
ity of the country. The posses
sion of the Crown and Government
lands puts it in the power of the
Government to throw thousands of
small holdings open to settlement,
so that the time may come when
the soil shall be cultivated by those
who own it; and when these own
ers may be not great proprietors,
whose possessions are measured in
square miles, but the hardy and
honest "small farmres" who make
the backbone of every country.
In like manner, the declaration
with regard to labor is relevant and
timely. Annexation means free
dom and independence for labor,
with a prospect of larger rewards
and wider opportunities.
There is nothing in the other
planks of this platform which can
give rise to dissensions. The fab
ric is strong enough and broad
enough TO accommodate all the
friends of the cause.

MORE TESTIMONT.

On the first page of this morn
ing's ADVERTISER appears another
valuable historical and descriptive
sketch by Professor Alexander,
which has not hitherto been pub
lished in Honolulu. Attention is
drawn to it particularly ON account
of the kindly spirit which it
breathes toward the native Hawai-
ians.
The opponents of the present
Government have tried to make it
appear that its organizers have
spoken and acted in spirit of ma
lignant hostility toward the native
people, not only overriding and
trampling upon their rights, but de-
nying their merits and traducing
their character. This statement is
one for which G. T. Gulick in par
ticular has maliciously made him.
self sponsor. That it is a SANDER
is shown, not only by the tone of
Mr.. Alexander's article this morn
ing, but by innumerable other writ
ten and oral utterances of the
friends of the Government, as well
as by their acts in maintaining the
schools, churches and charities of
the country.

DR.. Talura eeIS Trim.

The Rev. DIR. Talmage, the Brook
Ign preacher, has completed arrange
ments for tour of the world during
the coming spring and summer.
According to the program, DIR.
Talmade will go overland to San
Francisco and will sail from that
port the last week in May, taking the
steamer to the Hawaiian Islands.
He will also visit New Zealand,
Australia, China and India in the
east.
In China a large portion of his
time will be spent in Annoy, where
his brother, the late Rev DR.. John
Talmage, was for forty-two years a
missionary. The daughters are we'll
known missionaries, still living in
Annoy and continue the work their
father began. The journey home
ward will be made from CeyIon,
through Europe, and across the
Atlantic.
DR.. Talmage will be accompanied
by his wife and two daughters and
will be absent about five months
The extended trip through Asia and
Europe has no connection with the
present crisis IN the affairs of his
church. 1t was practically determin-
ed upon IN 1892, when he was in
Russia 1t is his intention to preach
and lecture in every place he visits
while he Is away.

It can be stated on the authority
of leading democratic Senators that
there il no foundation for the sto-
ries sent ont from Washington that
Senator Hill was to be resd out OF
the party By q democratic caucus.
There 10 a general feeling OF regret
among democratic Senators that
Mr Hill should have voted against
the tariff bill. and 8 few OF them
have said harsh things OF him, but
there is 20 disposition to force him
out Of the democratic party. On
the contrary, the disposition Is to
treat him 50 that he will not be dis
posed to take himself out Of the
party.
