she came in the room with the gun
pointed at him. He told her not
to shoot, but she did so with out

the wife claims that the shooting
was accidental. A later account
says that she acknowledged having
shot him as he passed from one room
to another, because he had tried to
kill her.

HARD TIMES POLICY.

During the present hard times
it would well become the people
who have made their fortunes in
this country to loosen their purse
strings and spend all the money
they can afford. Every dollar
thus spent may help fifty or a
hundred other people to spend a
dollar more than they otherwise
could. If there is anything that
our local rich people are likely to
want in the future now is the
to time to busy.

HAWAIlANS ABROAD.
How the Paradise of the Pacific
is Advertised.

Copious tears trickled over the
port rail of the steamer Australia
yesterday afternoon and mingled
softly with the briny waters of
the bay. The Hawaiians were
sailing back to their sun-kissed
isle and all hands wept, as is
their wont when leaving scenes
they Fave learned to love. 1t
was an extremely affecting spec
tacle, and one that moved the
heart of the hardest.
Tears could not have been shed
more freely had each dark skin
ned islander been standing beside
the newly made grave of his only
parent. Long-drawn sobs smote
upon the air, broken only by tie
silent tear when it struck the
water and the joyous oath of the
hackmsn who hadn't room to turn
round on the dock. Then amid
a perfect torrent of tears the
steamer let go and swung clear
of the wharf.
Before she had straigbtened
up the lady Honoluluians had so
far forgotten their anguish as to
dance the hula-hula on the deck
while the gentlemen went below
to subdue their over towering
grief with copious draughts of
gin. Yet the Hawaiians hated to
leave US, and it nearly broke
their tender hearts to do so. The
burning mountain and the SOM
nolent bull who used to doze and
dream of home in front of the |
village were left behind. They |

right If the natives registered.
the government would make a
big display of its numerical. and
there would be no reason for the
United States. or any other
country, TO refuse to recognize
the republic Of Hawaii. OF
course. the foreigners who are in
the pay of the republic. have
been attended to and can become
voters on special certificates.
even if they only have stranded
,on this beach few months ago,
and never paid cent taxes, or.
have the slightest intention of
remaining longer than their gov
eminent job lasts. or, until they
have saved enough to get ont of
the country.
Letters of denizttion are ar
ranged for the nice people, who
sympathize with the revolution
airy government; but, who lacked
courage or inclination to assist
in the original movement, and
consequently cannot get the
special certificate. When the
question of letters Of denization
was before a committee of the
Convention, there was some in
clination to abandon the system
altogether. 1t was held that, if
the country was good enough to
live in enjoying all the rights
and privileges of a citizen, it was
good enough to swear allegiance
to. In the debate, several pro-
minent taxpayers were mention
ed, whom it would be especially
desirable to grant letters of de-
nization, as they were friendly to
the government, bat unwilling to
foreswear their allegiance to their
native countries. We noticed,
tnat one of these patriots for
whose benefit the denizen clause
was inserted in the constitution
was not patriotic enough to send
for his letters patent of deniza-
ton and serve as juror at this
term.
1t will be seen, then, that the
government has provided for the
coming election, in such a man
ner. that only its pronounced
supporters will be able to vote.
But, any government which is
afraid of opposition is bound to
fail, and q republic, which fears
popular vote, is an anomaly
aud a fraud.

CITIZENS AND DENIZENS.

We pointed out in recent
issue, how fruitless it is for the
government organs to advocate
registration. We had hoped that
the Advertiser, would have given
an explanation of how it is pos
sible for anybody, who was not
naturalized previous to the 18th
of January, 1898, to become
voter under the present constitu-
ton. The AdusrtiSsr, is as dumb
as the proverbial oyster, and con-
fines itself to exhort the people
in general terms to register and
vote. Let us for the sake of
argument imagine that a number
Of kamaainas here, who never be-
fore were citizens, should now
desire to take the oath of allegi-
ance to the Republic, and be-
come voters. How are they go
ing to do it How can ANYBODY
at present. become naturalized
According to the constitution,
the manner in which citizenship
can be granted shall be regulated
by the Legislature. Nothing has
so far been done. According to
the constitution, the issuing of
naturalization papers are wholly
within the jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court. The Judges are
not here and nobody can per
form their duties. It is. there
fore, impossible for any taxpayer. /
although. otherwise qualified to
become a citizen of Hawaii, and
entitled to representation. If
the Advertiser can interpret the
situation differently. we shall be
pleased to hear it.
The fact is. that the govern
ment does not want any foreign
ers, who are opposed to it to
vote. The Hawaiians are al

which agedirapidly in this climate
and died far away from the joy
Gus scenes of its early youth.
Perhaps it was the crushing
thought of forsaking the noun

that caused the emotional natives
to weep so freely.
But they are gone, and with them
departed one Of the best remem-
bered features OF the Midwinter
Fair. With the exception of
Mr.. Opu each one of the Hawai-
ians, from the smallest baby TO

best families on their triumphant
entree into Honolulu. 1t has
been long time since anything
so gorgeous as those dancing
maidens has disturbed the peace
and quiet of the water front. In
many instances their toilets
bordered on the spectacular. and
the most subdued wardrobes
among them reverberated above
the hum and turmoil of traffic.
One of the ladies appeared on
the dock in a dress so-red that
had it been torn or cut the fabric
would undoubtedly have bled.
She also gloried in hat which

Miss Emile. The premier hula
danseuse, who was imported from
Honolulu along about the middle
of the season at an enormous
salary.
Before leaving home the lady
caused a report to be circulated
in the islands to the effect that
she was departing on an extended
pleasure trip to America, and
would probably visit Europe ere
she returned to the tropics. Bat
when the agile and voluptuous
Emile landed in the village at

They did so to a considerable
extent and also printed pictures
of the distinguished lady traveller
from Honolulu cavorting on
platform in scant attire This
dreadful expose, which Emile
knew would reach her home by
the return steamer, drove the
unfortunate maiden to seek solace
in the flowing bowl. She said
she never would go back to Ho-
nolulu, but would die on foreign
shore. However, in the accu-
of wealth and plaudits
Emile forgot her resolve and
decided to go back as the best
dressed lady in the aggregation
and cut a wider swath than ever
before. As she passed up the
gangplank yesterday the dock
wollopers bowed low and said
she must be daughter of the
Queen. IS. f. Chronicle.

the stove will watch itself. We
have been watching these stoves
for the past FIVE years, and find
them the best iron stove sold in

the place isn't built. We have
sold hundreds of these stoves in
Honolulu, and never had COM

one to gentleman on Hawaii,
and yesterday he ordered another
for a friend. The stove sells
itself through its fuel saving
qualities. and because, it is q
good baker. You can get other
styles of stoves if you are not
particular as to the quantity
of fuel you burn or how your
food is cooked. There's no dys--

We received last week a lot of
wire clothes lines that hold
washed clothes without using
pins. 1t is a sort of double wire
arrangement and the pieces are
held In between; the harder the
wind blows the tighter the pieces
are held to the line. There is
absolutely no danger of the
clothing being torn as there is
nothing sharp about the line.
While the cost is trifie greater
than rope, this new style will
last so much longer that it is
economical to buy the pinless
line.
The CLAUSS is one of the
new tangled saw-edge knives that
cuts warm bread without leaving
it heavy and iced cake without
crumbs There are two or
three different makes of these
knives, all on the same principle
and each one pronounced the
best on earth by the manufac
turers. We selected the Clauss,
which we believe as disinterest-
ed spectator to be better than its
neighbors. You never had any
thing in your life that give as
much satisfaction for dollar. If |
you were buying the other sort |
you would get only one.
