THE 1 AVENNORTH cpPEE

The banquet given at I4eavenworth
last Friday in honor of Senator Elect
LucIen Baker, was one OF the most HI
larious events that took place within
our rectangular state since the prOhi.
bltory law went into effect. Over three
hundred dollars was spent for cham
payne alone, to say nothing about the
amount of Othe. liquors consumed. 1t
was feast of feasts made up of all the
dainties and delicacies known TO the
luxurious world bat after all is over we
fail tc see in what way the state is ben
Gifted. IL is one of the peculiar charac-
teristlcs of these ''redeemers" that ev-
cry time one of their gang is elected
TO public trust, few thousand dol
lars must BE spent in giving banquet
and worshipping man who is wholly
unworthy Of the prominence given
him. All this gayety is not without its
evil tendencies; it is but the primeval
step towards laying the foundation for
a biggoted and corrupt public servant.
How much better would 1T be IL all this
wealth that is thrown away in this
manner, were used to supply the needs
of the starving and perishing myriads
OF this country, made SO by wicked and
corrupt legislation by men who were
inducted into Office IN this way. But
these are republican hobbies; the poor
man always gets what the little boy
shot at and the rich and upper ten"
element of society Invariably imbibe
the nutrition of the land. When Sena-
tor PETER was elected, no such sump-
tuous repast was had; he went on and
assumed his duties as senator of Kan.
sas and worked faithfully In that Ca
pacity and found il quite unnecessary
TO soak himself in champagne and the
choice WHISTLES of the world before en-
tering upon the rOstrum of that respon-
sible position. Even the better element
OF the republican party itself condemns
this method of procedure. we clip the
following from the Topeka State JoQrn-
al, which, while only giving one reason
60 show that it is in bad taste, is preg-
nant with logic and good sense and
commends itself to the conscientious
reader:
1.-The spectacle OF the legislature of
Kansas and a large number of the pub
Tic men ia the state taking part in
banquet at LeaVenworth last night at
which the prohibitoFy Jaw was openly
violated, IS one that will arouse CEN
sure among the believers in Law aud
order in this state.
While the members of the legislature
were. indeed, the guests of the people
Of Leavenworth, and might in one sense
be held not responsible for the out
pouring OF liquor that accompanied the
banquet, nevertheless their action In
giving countenance to an affair of that
sort will weaken the prohibitory law.
The example of the law making b'dy
violating It's own law viii not be with
out effect on the people Of Kansas, and
the effect will be bad.
The ordinary citizen will say; "Ir
the members Of the legislature can
take part in drinking jamboree, |
can, too" Its an encouragement to
the clubs and joints.
The people look to the legislature to
set an example in public decency.
They have not done so in this Leav-
enworth affair. and they win realze
the public disapproval Of the action,
very soon.

THE New York and London bankers
and bond spectators have the country
by the throat and are now threatening
to close in unless the president and
congress satiste their demands. This
is the fruit of an administration of
Sherman Cleveland tactics and shows
by whom the law making power of the
present day is managed 1t is strange
that the great mass OF people will
qaietig submit to BE domineeFed driven
aud owned by set OF sharks whose on
ly motive is TO enslaye the millions to
crafty their own selfish interest. The
people have about reached the point
where radical steps must be taken TO
pfcYide for an existence and when once
started there is no telling where it will
end.

Lookfnr-Glasses.

The annual manufacture in Europe
az the present time, according to the
latest statistics, is something like
$500 square yards of looking glass.
In the mirrors of to-day the light is
reflected by layer of silver or an
amalgam of tin, but proportion of
the light is lost in the process of refec-
ton, and the image is less luminous
than the original. The value of a
looking-glass is usually estimated by
the thickness of the glass, because the
thicker they are the stronger they
must be; but, speaking scientifically,
thick glasses are defective, because the
outlines of the image reflected are less
clearly defined. There are really three
reflections, and, consequently, three
images in every glass mirror, one
from the upper surface of the glass,
the second from the lower surface, and
the third from the metallic layer at
the back. An ideal mirror is one with
q perfectly fat surface, but it is only
possible to obtain this result in com
paratively small glasses. The larger
glasses do not reflect a true image, be-
cause it is not possible to make them
quite fat.

THE latest touch of high life 'receiv-
ed by Cleveland was administered by
Senator Vest. He deplored the bond
system and arralgned the president
severely. Vest declared that he would
never vote for an issue Of interest bear

consolation that we have still a few
congressman that have at least one
honest trait of character about them.

THE STAR CALLED DOWN.

From our Topeka Correspondent.
The redeeming business is still in
full blast. The Kansas City Star con
sidered it it's duty to take part and help
the republicans in the 'Redeeming
Business" and took upon itself the re-
sponsibility of publishing what it con
siders true and correct reports of the
proceedings, but what are in fact false
in every particular. Senator Dennison
considered that the charges brought
against the senate by the aforesaid
paper, entirely beyond the bounds of
decency, and consequently introduced
the following resolution, the resolution
containing the articles complained OF:
WHEREAS, Sundays issue or the
Kansas City Star contains the follow

of petty tribuIations, it has afford
ed an opportunity for those on
whom the brunt of the response
bility has been thrown, to show In
what true intellectual steel the
French people have placed their
confidence. Republics never were
constructed for the Capitalization
of power. When one man steps
out there are plenty more as good
and possibly better to fill his place.
Considering the character of the
French people, the CELEBRITY with
which this recent crisis has been
managed, reflects only credit upon
the ability of the Government
leaders as politicians and states
men.

TITS indeed unfortunate that our
Kohala friends, whose signed state
ment appears in another column
should have been as seriously ma
ligned as their document would
seem to indicate. We would call
to their attention the fact that they
have given the public information
which the Kohala correspondent
did not. No doubt there are a
great many persons in the country,
not under arrest, whose position is
best described in words similar 70
those of our correspondent, but
these gentlemen are the first thus
far to announce that there is pos
sibility of their being reckoned
among that number. The best adj
vice We can give is not to put the
coat on unless it fits, which we are
sure in saying it does not the ma
jority of the signers. In the eyes
of the people, none is so guilty az
he who is self-condemned.

So FAR as can be judged from

LA1ssrz rA1sz SYSTEM RULES.

In the letter purporting to have
been received by "Billy Aldrich"
at San Francisco, the writer saye,
81 am pretty sure no Kanaka will
give away our business. L don't
believe in taking any foreigner
into your confidence. Natives can
be depended on in this case, for
you know they mean business.
The recent rebellion is interesting
to the student of "Kanakaisms" In
that it has clearly demonstrated
that the Kanaka cannot keep a
secret especially when he sees trou-
BILE for himself staring him in the
face. Without question, fully one
half of the native and half-white
population knew of the outbreak
that was to be made in the early
part of January, during which time
the Government supporters were to
a great extent pooh-poohing the
idea of an uprising on just this
particular occasion.
While the native was planning,
while he could picture In his
minds eye realms of glory with
plenty to eat and opportunity to
live on the products of the labor
of other hands, then, he could
keep his secret and keep
it we'll. When, however, the sound
of bursting shell reached his ears
and his visions turned from heAuh-
full eeneralities to sighting along
the cold, hard steel of q gun barrel,
it was quite another thing. Those
deep secrets lost the charm that
had been pictured, and like the
thoughtful Bipikane . great many
became suddenly weary and were
only too glad to put themselves in
the hands Of their antagonists and
thrice willing to divulge the ill
gotten plans that were to lead a
few half-whites and more foreign
ers, whose patriotism is measured
by the size of their official salary,
to undying glory.
The story told by the rank and
file of the natives shows that they
had practically no idea OF what
they were going into; they did not
realize that they were suffering un-
der any great wrong until some
one came and told them OF 1t
their feeling of patriotism was not
skin deep.
The whole fiasco has shown that
the average native is patriotic to
q doubtful cause 80 long as his
side wins. On the retreat, the
Lassiez fairc system rules - each
one for himself and the devil take
the hindmost.

THERE has been no cessation IN
the war between Japan and China.
The latter has named two peace
commissioners to proceed to japan,
where they will arrive about Febru-
airy 1. China has also selected as
legal adviser, Mr.. J. w. Foster, for
merly Secretary of State under
President Harrison, who is proba-
bly, now In Japan. The two arbi-
traitors selected by China are her
late Minister to Washington and
the Governor of Formosa- The lat
ter may not be accepted by japan,
as it was he who offered to pay
bounties for the head of every off,
Ger and private captured, and also
very large bounties for war vessels
captured. His appointment may
be rejected solely to enable Japan
to continue the war till Pekin is
captured, which she is likely to &C
complish very soon. This, if she
can do it, would give her a great
advantage in debating terms of
peace, which are likely to be
very hard on her foe. She may
initiate Germany in her terms at
the close of the last war with
France.

saving machinery. IL does not
make any difference what the
line of business is labor-saving
machinery is sought after.
| Men whose minds take an In
ventive turn put the energies
| in this direction more than any
other, the manufacturers de-
mand it and the inventors are
trying TO 6H the demand. We
have among our goods prob
ablv a hundred different art-
cles designed for this purpose:
Among the most important of
these are the implements used
| in the cultivation of sugar cane
land. Take first the Fertilizer
Distributor, a machine worked
by one man that will distribute
the fertilizer over nine acres
of land In one day. 1t not
only saves labor but it does
the work more thoroughly and
with absolutely no waste OF
| material. Our orders for this
article have exceeded the de-
mand and we have been obi
eed to order more. The Cane
Cultivators from the same
factory are recognized on Ha-
wall to be much superior to
anything of the kind ever used
here. These implements are
not experiments, they have
been used for a long time in
Louisiana where they have
given great satisfaction.
The Wertheim Duplex Sew
ing machine is more of a labor
saver than any other make,
because it does a greater
variety of work. Every lady
knows the trouble it is to sew
| ruff1es, and that a machine that
will sew just what is necessary
for ruffles is not the stitch that
answers for making boys
trousers. It's a labor saver
that will sew both and the
Wertheim is the only one that
mil. It not only sews the
chain and lock stitch, but it
makes a combination of both
that is as pretty an embroidery
stitch as you want to see. We
have a number Of these
machines in various styles of
finish, the highest priced one
is cheaper than you can get
an ordinary machine for. You
save money and save labor In
getting a Werthein.
These occasional rains cause
havoc with the water by max
ing it muddy and impure. We
have been selling the Improved
Stone Filter which makes it as
clear as a crystal. There is
another and very celebrated
filter called the "Pasteur."
We have made arrangements
for handling this article which
is exclusively used in public
institutions, places of business
and private houses in the
United States. One of them
has been placed in the Queens
Hospital and after a careful
test in fltering muddy water,
milk and oil combined, a
Honolulu physician says:
sT have examined the cPasteur
Filter manufactured by the Pasteur
Chamberlain Company. / consider it

These filters are rented to
persons or sold outright as
preferred. Parties desiring to
examine one can communicate
with us and Mr.. H. L. Theron
will call upon them at their
residence or place of business
and thoroughly explain the
working of it. We expect a
large business in this article
and from testimonials we have
examined we have no hesita-
ton in guaranteeing it to be a
superior article.
