A man who forgot what he was

BAND INSTRUMENTS CAME.

Fifteen Pieces for Leper Band.
Advertisers Subscription Fund.
The new instruments for the
leper band arrived by the Alameda
yesterday. The new outfit was
ordered some time ago by Professor
Berger from Kohler & Chase, San
Francisco, and consists of fifteen
handsome new instruments, includ-
ing drums and cymbals. The
money to pay for them comes from
the band fund inaugurated by the
COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. The
Board of Health will take the in
struments on their annual visit to
the settlement.
The Hawaiian band will use the
pieces for the first time at the regu-
lar Monday morning rehearsal to
get them in good condition and in
tune before sending away.

PLUCKY NICARAGUA.

Little Nicaragua bids fair to
come out Of her set-to with Great
Britain somewhat short of funds,
but far ahead of her opponent in
point of honor. Great Britain has
taught the sassy little jade" a
lesson, but there is little enough
credit in forcing conditions upon o
defenseless nation that it would not
dare to do in dealing with one Of
the leading powers of the continent.
From all that can be inferred from
newspaper accounts of the oontro-
versy, the British have refused to
arbitrate, and thereby cast aside
one of the strongest weapons of ad-
vancing civilization, prefering, on
the contrary, to resort to the old
methods of inducing q fight to
settle differences.
The United States has kept aloof
and it could not we'll do otherwise
unless the British make too free
with Nicaraguan territory. Though
the United States assumes
fatherly protection over the weaker
vessels of the western hemisphere
it would be taking a large contract
if it presumed to become a party
in the settlement Of all bills with
foreign powers. Should the atti-
tude of England become threaten
ing there is little doubt that Uncle
Sam would appear on the scene
and require all foreign powers to
remain at proper distance.
Though Nicaragua officials have
been obliged to aocede to British
demands, they have shown them
selves quite able to cope with the
opposition in matters Of justice
and in fact, all points except mar
tial force. The task of keeping
the ardor of Nioaraguans in check
and giving the British no excuse to
advance beyond Corinto is quite as
hard to carry out as to play the
foreign diplomatic game success
fully.

NATIONAL differences in the
Orient bid fair to assume q more
serious aspect for Japan than that
country has experienced upto date.
A conflict with Russia means far
more bloodshed and more costly
victories than anything the Japan
csc army or navy have experienced.
The war party of Japan is practi-
cally out of its head so far as listen
ing to the warning of foreign
power is concerned It believes
the country has been quite liberal
enough in stopping short of Pekin,
and the idea of giving up territory
allowed by the peace commission
ers is beyond the horizon of a pos
eibility. In event of a declaration
Of war, Russia would be at a disad-
vantage in being obliged to fight so
far from its source of supplies.
Though the fleet in Eastern waters
is large one, it is hardly ade-
quate to cope with the Japanese
navy fresh from practical expert
ences, but Japan would glory in no
such successes as those over the
Chinese.

TIE ELBE JURY VERDICT.

Owing to the absence of evidence
from the survivors of the Elbe, the
jury found that there was not sufi-
cient proof that the Crathie was
solely to blame for the collision. "
This is the verdict of the jury on
the Elbe disaster. In other words,
the destruction wrought by the
steamer Crathie was so complete
that no one can be called to &C
count for the terrible catastrophe !;
owing to the death Of the victim,
the murderer is allowed to escape.
Thus it IS that time is allowed to
do its work in wiping out the horror
of 400 souls being sent into eternity
Lives wsntonly destroyed-snd
absolutely nothing done to guard
the lives of thousands who are
daily exposed to dangers by the
carelessness of commanders and
seamen on the small tramp steam
ers of the English Channel.
The mate and the lookout of
the Crathie are accused of gross
negligence, because they were
smoking in the galley when
they should have been keep
ing careful watch of the course
of the steamer. The captain, who
is held responsible by his superiors
for the discipline of his crew, is
blameless when, by virtue of the
negligence of his men, he sends
hundreds of men, women and chill
dren to the bottom of the ocean.
While it is possible that por-
ton Of the blame might be placed
upon the officers of the Elbe, |
It is proven beyond doubt |
that the Crathie was in |
the hands of men criminally |
negligent. So long as thoughtless

Mr.. Ashford was long enough
in Hawaii to convince the peo-
pie that he can tell the differ
ence between "a 'awk han a
'au saw" and that he under
stands full well the value of
silence. He has about as
much intention of heading a
flibustering expedition as he
has of returning here and
standing as a candidate for
office. c. w. is a little Joker
and the interview with the re-
porter in Frisco was one of his
Jokes. When Mr.. Ashford
left here, his main thought
was to do something in the
behalf of his brother. The
people here who know him
will not believe that a hlibus-
tering expedition is in the line
of assistance to that person.
Some time ago, we pur-
chased a lot of European wire
and Immediately afterward
some parties circulated a re-
port that the quality had been
affected by some unknown
cause and that it was not up
to the standard of the I'M
ericaas product. We had a half
dozen coils of the wire tested
at the Iron Works and it
showed a tensile strength of
1900 pounds. When this re-
port was published in this
column, the wire was sought
after by plantation managers
and individuals from Niihau to
Hawaii. The other day, to OBJ
lige a skeptic, we ordered a
hundred coils of American
wire from the Coast and as
it reached the store, we sent
a half dozen coils to the foun-
dry to have It tested. The
result showed a tensile
strength of 76S pounds or
about 1000 less than the Eu-
ropean article. We violate no
confidence when we tell you
that this American wire will
not be sold by US. We have
an abundance of the European
article and can supply all sizes
and in any quantity. This wire
with the steel stays and gal
vanized washers comprise the
material necessary to use in
making the celebrated Jones
Locked Fence than which no
stronger, cheaper or better
fence was ever made.

LAND AND LABOR.

We hear lately great deal about
Japanese and Chinese cheap labor,
and the organs of the planters seem
to be at sea in regard to what atti-
tude to adopt on the much vexed
and tangled labor question. One
day they favor Japanese and will
have no more Chinese, and the fol-
lowing day some "planter" from
Queen street has seen them and
they take the very opposite view.

The principle underlying the land
law and homestead acts is not alto
gether faulty or bad. But the land
question must go hand in hand with
the labor question. Until the latter
is solved the surveying expeditions
in search of pheasant Dreams" and
the efforts to get ignorant people to
take up homesteads will be so much
labor and money lost. Let the labor
question be put on a proper basis.
Let us smooth out our differences
with the Japanese and resume i'm
portation OF Japanese laborers. And
as far as the land question is con-
cerned, let the authorities state bare
and plain facts, and drop all en-
bellishments and "land- booming"
tactics which will only lead to dis
appointments, dissatisfaction, and
eventually disaster to the Gov
ernment and the country. Don't
bring Chinese laborers here under
false pretenses and do tell "the small

that he proposes to survey Waimano

homesteads. He speaks very en-
Enthusiastically of the land, but ad-
mits that it is unsuited to coffee

He adds that the commissioner are
especially anxious to give these
lands to Hawaiiaus. We believe
him, but we should like to 6now
where the inducement is for any
body-even a Hawaiian-to take up
a homestead at Waimano, unfit, as
Mr.. Brown says, it is for coffee and
other cultivation, and situated in
such place that "the surveyor who
goes there must take his men with
him in order to be sure he can have
them from one day to another"
"Food," he says also, "must be pack
ed into the gulch and around with
the men. These things don't add
to the pleasures of surveying or
make life for the men who do it one
pleasant dream"

q most serious manner during
the late epidemic of what vital
importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in OPT
nion in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity Of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because. it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back, three to one, it starts with
only third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost Of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging Of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing Of the tower in a storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost Of tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use Of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why SO excellent a
piece of work can be turned out
at so low a price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores, or write
