THIS IS THE LAST DAY
Of the Bazaar at St. PauPs Church, Interest in the Contests
 Growing.

Tonight will witness the closing ot the greatest bazaar ever given by the Catholics of this city. During tue entire time it has been running the attendance has been large and the receipts far beyond the ex. pectations of those having it in charge. There have been many beautiful works of art and Christmas goods disposed of during the bazaar, and tonig ht the closing out sale takes place.
 The greatest interest now hinges in the contest for the library set, and speculation is great us to the lucky contestant, This feature of the bazaar viii net a handsome sum; in fact it is estimated that at least S13O0 will be realized from this contest alone.
 Then, too, the editors contest is awaken ing great deal of interest, and the result is awaited by the friends on both sides with anxiety and curiosity.
 The young ladies will serve refreshments again today, and hope to have a liberal patronage.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

"Humpty Dumpty" was the attraction at O Brien's last night and was witnessed by fair audience. This weil-known American pantomime is always sourcs of amusement, and the presentation last night pleased the audience, as was evident from the applause given different members of the complny.
 Louis A. Leslie in the title role was by far the best performer in the company, and bis clever work brought forth much ap- plause.
 Kitty Sharp was a very clever dancer. Charles E. Colby, who claims to be the only warbling ventriloquist before the American public, did the ventriloqust act remarkably. The show is a good one con- sidering the price of admission. There will be matinee performance this alter noon and again tonight.

by the somewhat peculiar aud per
haps iateful grouping of events,
has brought us nearer its accom-
plishment than we have been at
any time since President Harrison
submitted the treaty of annexation
to the Senate. 1t is perhaps better
for Hawaii that the delay has
occurred. When the question
again comes up it will be found no
processes of political education will
be necessary i'll the United States.
The only question that will have
to be decided by the people of the
Great Republic will be that of the
political expediency of annexation,
and this the majority of the people
and the Republican party have
already virtually passed upon.
In the meantime the question of
annexation will not be lost sight of
by this Republic or Americans in
Hawaii. When Minister Thurs
ton returns to Washington he will
turn all his tact and energy to the
accomplishment of this end. 1t is
needless to say he will be assisted
by powerful friends of Hawaii and
annexation i'll both the Democratic
and Republican parties. The
patriotic and poetic stage of annex
alton has now passed and the
future fight for admission into the
union of States must be carried
to contamination by political
means and hard political work.
For this Mr.. Thurston is perhaps
the best fitted man in the Republic
In making the fight his singleness
of purpose and tireless energy will
be powerful factors, which, judic-
iously assisted, will certainly sue
coed in the end, even if the sur
prise of speedy contamination is
not reached i'll December next.

Rent day in Paris is very important
occasion. The landlord is king in a
realm where exactitude is not only en-
couraged, but enforced. An Englishman
says that he once went to see "a landlord
about some matter connected with the
house he had hired. The Frenchman
proved to be a very suspicious and in
quisitive old gentleman, who had made
his fortune in the candle trade
"What do you sell?' he inquired.
The Englishman acknowledged that
he made his bread by writing for the
magazines. The landlord shrugged hi.,
shoulders.
Il am afraid, said he, "that you
will not be exact with your rent ON the
10Th of the month "
He evidently had old fashioned no.
tons of literature as well as the other
arts and preferred that his tenants
SHOULD be, like himself, comfortably in
trade, So in order to vindicate his voca-
ton the Englishman went to call upon
him in person on the l4th, rent in hand.
Il told you so, " exclaimed the pre-.
else old merchant. 81 knew YOU
wouldn't be exact at the day and hour
fixed. You have brought Your rent "a
hours too soon. Youths Companion

HAWAII is INTERESTED.

When President Cleveland failed
to veto the tariff bill he ceased to
be consistent with his declared
policy. In both the tariff and the
Hawaiian matter he has accepted
the inevitable only on the unmis-
taxable demands of the people, who
have refused to tolerate his absurd
propositions Of monarchical restora-
ton and absolute free trade. Hap
PLY the American people generally
know just what they want, and they
also have the persistent and COM
mendable habit of getting ii. In
both instances mentioned Hawaii
and the United States have been
mutually benefited by partial re-
suits, and the lines have been per-
manently laid for closer commercial
and political union hereafter.
With the present political fore
cast in the United States it is hardly
possible for the Democrats TO make
good their past losses before the
next Presidential election. Ever
since the President started upon
his hayward political policy, shortly
after his Inauguration, the Demo
cratic party has been struggling
between the devil and the deep sea;
and its diiftings have been such
that it is at present pretty much
deep sea in very unseaworthy
political vessel.
The Republicans have, 1t is true,
played the dog in the manger
policy, whenever it lay in their
power; and it is just possible that
at times they have allowed the in
terests of the nation to drag in
order to help on President Cleve-
lands policy of party destruction
against the united efforts and pro-
tests of the Democratic leaders.
During the struggle between the
President and the rank and file of
his party, compromises of a politi-
cal nature have been made several
times by which Hawaii has been
directly benefited. The recogni-
ton of the establishment of the
Republic and the amendments
to the tariff bill favorable to Ha-
waiian commerce are instances.
While annexation, the aim and
end of Hawaii and the present
government, has not been as yet
accomplished, the opposition which
it has met though President Cleve-
lands administration policy, aided

THE NATIVES CHANCE.

A point has been reached where
the native Hawaiians are fatty re-
fusing to be fooled longer with
promises of restoration. This the
shrewder foreign leaders are admit
ting by their course since the re-
cognition of the Republic, and
especially since the failure and re-
turn of that most foolish Royalist
Commission. The advice now
being given the natives by their
foreign leaders is to get into poll
tics and, by opposing the Republic
and American ideas, assist the
clique Of well-known foreign
Royalists in retaining a remnant of
their former pull in local politics.
If the natives are wise they will
seize this chance to break away
from their past evil political as
sociates, and, taking advantage
thereof, will register and hereafter
vote in their own interests. The
foreigners who again propose to
lead the natives do so in the hope
of securing much needed political
boost themselves, not because they
either can, or, under the circum-
stances, intend to help the native
Hawaiians and their cause.
