NOT FOOLISH.

One of the chatterbox assertiors
of the opposition is that the Repub-
lie is wasting money. How fool
ish that would be. Wantonness IN
finances is akin to dishonesty.
Anything like careless expenditure
would be ruin on wings. The
statements from the Treasury De
partment speak for themselves
They tell a story that pleases the
conservative investors of the great
money market of the world. Thai
should be satisfactory to the tax
PAYERS and it is satisfactory tC
them. The people who protest arr

A MEMBER Of the Baltimore bar,
Mr.. Cohn, has Just issued from the
John Hopkins press an elaborate
essay on the prospects Of the Re-
public, in which he expresses the
fear that its durability is menaced
by the immensely of its territory,
the problem of the negroes and the
great increase of population in the
cities. A writer in the ReVNe His
fOriqne of Paris reviews this paper
and comes to different conclusions.
He is of opinion that there is a
strong probability of the constitu!
ton of the United States remaining
substantially the same for an indie
finite period to come, blessing to
many unborn generations.

THE movement in real estate is
an added symbol of increasing
Americanism in Hawaii. Uncle
Sans sons are the greatest town
lot dealers in the world. 1t was a
westerner who said of a killing in
a new mining camp: when they
begin shooting in Jawbone Gulch
it is a sure sign of richness in the
bowels of the earth" When
realty dealing becomes distinctive
and growing feature in the Islands
it is fresh coloring of the tint Of
the States.

SOME of the deepest thinkers in
Hawaii are firmly of the opinion
that there will be no lasting peace
until the cause of liberal
government has been consecrated
with blood. They say that the
tranquil revolution is myth and
cite history to prove it. Perhaps
we can make precedent. Having
the benefit of the experience of our
ancestors, as we'll as our own, pre-
haps we can establish a new rule.

What Next P

Hawaii ia blessed indeed since we
through the agency of John L..
Stevens obtained the most "moral"
and very "best" government ever
known in this Paradise OF the
Pacific.
The nation has been highly ele-
vated since The advent OF our moral
rulers. We have had an experience
Of the most bloody rebellion known
here during the last 70 years. We
have enjoyed (3) a cholera epidemic
which killed nearly 100 Hawaiians.
We have witnessed financial de-
preston public and private
which has killed the credit of the
government and brought our mer-
chants TO despair.
The festive program OF our very
best and most moral government
has not reached its last number
however.
Financial distress, rebellion, Mar
tial Law, cholera have been played
out and the gallery has applauded
or hooted. The last number OF the
program entities the showmen to
great consideration and applause.
The 'best" and "most" moral
government Hawaii ever now has
secured an earthquake. Not one
of those slow don't-shake me- heavily
affairs but regular one which, if
continued, may even make the
Palace tumble down over the ears
OF our moral rulers.
We have always had the most
perfect faith in the wisdom and
morality of our rulers but when they
use earthquakes to get the people
into line, we feel inclined to say
with Renan "It has only been by
help OF hell that human nature has
been dragged up to certain degree
of morality. Alasl poor thingw

After Koolau.

We hear from Kauai from whence
the Eleu' returned this morning that
a number of "braves" have decided
to disturb the unfortunate Koolau,
the leper outlaw, and capture him
dead or alive. The story goes that
the sister Of Koolau was apprehend-
ed at Waimea, where she was for the
purpose of buying ammunition for
him. That she was persuaded to
disclose the hiding place of her
brother, and that she will act as
guide for the man hunters who are
organized by Mr.. Chester Doyle as
sist ed by five other foreigners. The
story may be true, but we are in
clined to believe that it is one of
Chester's snake stories furnished as
ballast to the Eleu in lieu of the
tons Of opium which did not mate
rialize. Should the adventurous
spirits of the men in question ac-
tually lead them on to a Koolau
hunt, we fear that they will in due
time be carried back while Koolau's
"band plays on"

Senatorial Candidates

Owing to the resignation of
Senator Motley, a special election
has been ordered to take place on
Hawaii on the 9th OF January. The
good people on the big island do
not seem to be inclined to agree on
one person and it looks as if four or
five Richimonds will be in the field.
Among the prominent names we
notice so far Alexander Young OF
Honolulu, who is hacked by his
Hilo plantation, and II. l.. Holstein
of Kohala, young Hawaiian lawyer.
None of them seem fit to represent
the true independent interest of
Hawaii Other candidates will pro-
badly be nominated.

Incendiary Fire.

The residence of John Defries at
Puuloa was burned to the ground
yesterday, during the absence of the
owner. Mr.. Defries came to town
in the morning and intended to visit
Mr.. Sam. Dwight at Kaalawai, where
birthday celebration was going on.
While on his way to Waikiki he re-
ceived the news that his house at
Puuloa was burning. He imme-
diately returned to town and pro-
ceeded to Eva. When be arrived
at Puuloa he found his home in
ashes, only few pieces of house
hold goods being saved by the neigh
bors. Mr.. Defries, who is manager
Of Mr.. Dowsett's Puuloa ranch,
had a very pleasant and comfortable
home and feels very much cut up
over the disaster hich has destroy
ed it. 1t seems positively sure that
the fire originated through incen.
diarism. 1t appears that there has
been ill-feeling in the district owing
to a recent lawsuit.

cept rdicule to an expedition like
the one from which the tug boat re-.
turned this morning?
The Eleu by the way is supposed
to be- tug boat belonging TO the
Government placed in the charge of
the Interior Department, and in
readiness at all hours to assist vessels
coming into and leaving from the
port. Since the authorities have heen
bitten by mad naval officer, how
ever, their inclination to create
"navy" and get onto the briny deep
with guns and men, is unbounded
and uncomfortable. The filibuster
yarns have grown stale, and it has
become advisable to revive the old
stories about dope, and caves, and
smugglers, and Halcyons, and the
rest OF the outfit belonging to naval
and smuggling sensations.
The official organ scoops" the
other papers by telling US all about
the Eleu's trip to Kaf oolawe aud
Lanai. 1t throws out hints about
secret caves and then the whole
yarn "caves" in. Instead OF going
to the islands mentioned by Mr..
Castles organ, the Eleu with her
cannons and gunner took trip to
Hanamaulu and other places on
Kauai, and wherever she went she
received report about fast
schooner which had just been around
few days before and which looked
very suspicious and undoubtedly
had quantities of opium on board.
We have heard that same yarn so
often that it is monotonous. So
thought also the Eleu, the cannons
and the gunner and the whole out
fit returned in disgust. Isn't it
time either to drop that schooner or
catch her. The wildgoose chases
and ridiculous expenditures of the
governments navy do not tend to
increase the dignity OF the republic
or create respect for the men who
apparently act as buffoons on the
Hawaiian stage.

as at home seems to have dis
appeared and the world can
look towards a peaceful and
pleasant Christmas and the
closing of the year. Stability
and prosperity are showing
again in Hawaii, and the pro-
per time has come to establish
new homes, and embellish and
renovate the old. To facilitate
this we have imported a COM
plete stock of household goods,
and invite the public to call in
and inspect them. We have
Lamps in all qualities and
everybody can find just what he
wants in that line. Our Parlor
Lamps and Piano Lamps are
beauties; and we keep the prices
within reach of all. We offer
also a fine assortment of Hang
ing Lamps and Chandeliers in
beautiful designs. Lamps, how
ever, are not the only necessary
article in household. Our
Stoves have given absolute sat-
isfaction to our numerous pat
rons. We have Cooking Ranges
in several sizes and of the most
approved construction, in which
coal and wood can equally be
used as fuel. We can also re-
commend the "Dietz" Tubular
Stove for oil or gas. This ex-
cellent stove has been very
handy and convenient furni-
ture. 1t can be used to do all
kinds of cooking-boiling bak-
ing, frying, roasting-and it ex-
GELS all stoves in broiling. 1t
can be used in room with
open doors and windows, or on
a porch or lanai where there is
free circulation of air. 1t is
portable and can be readily re-
moved from one room to an
other. 1t is absolutely free from
any taste or smell of oil as long
as kept clean, and it takes no
more work to clean it than a
common lamp. While the stoves
will do the heating business,
our Ice Chests will do the cool
ing business. We have large
sized Ice Chests suitable for
large household, and we have
them of a size suitable for a
small family. They are of the
latest pattern, and besides being
useful, are ornamental and
make a handsome appearance in
a dining-room. To keep water
cool, we recommend a Water
Cooler, which we have in differ
ent varieties. These Water
Coolers are eminently suitable
for schools, churches and other
places where numerous people
gather. The most useful Christ
mas present which we can re-
commend is a Sewing Machine
