How to Launder Embroidered Linens.

How to Launder Embroidered Linens.
 Make a studs of tepid water and white Castile or other delicately pure soap. If there are any especially soiled places, rub them carefully between the thumb and finger. Then dip the piece up and down in the suds half dozen times; squeeze mot wring) it from the studs, and rinse in cold water twice. In the second water have a very little bluing. Use at least six thicknesses of flannel to iron on, and lay soft piece of muslin over the linen. Place your piece with the right side down upon the pad; lay thin piece of cloth over it, and iron until nearly dry; lift the cover, and iron until perfectly smooth. For stiff fening linens take two ounces of gum arabic and let them stand in one pint of hot water until dissolved. To a teacup of tepid water add two tea spoonfuls of the liquid, and wet the entire piece thoroughly; place thin piece of cloth over it, and iron as be- fore. -Harper's Bazar.

THE SURPRISE OF THE SEASON.

acrobatic world during our stay
here and elsewhere, but we must ad
NIT that we never dreamed of sur.

and which have developed since the

Minister Smith wanted to return
good for evil which is a most praise
worthy principle. He did not tell
the Hawaiians though, what good
he has ever done to them or what
evil they ever did to him. Locking

action. Somehow we seem to fail to
appreciate it.

The outlook for Hawai's future
does not appear in particularly
roseate hue at present. The pros
poets are that the English cable will
pass Hawaii; and Tanning Island
which is British territory will be
selected as station. At the same
time comes an American naval au
thority and declares that San Fran
cisco is the important port in the
Pacific aud not Hon olulu. The Ad
vertiser aud S. e. Bi-hop get very
shocked over this statement and
claim that we must do something,
but they does not tell us what to do
to place these islands nearer to the
Nicaragua Canal than San Francisco
is. We have for years listened to
Serene Bishops and other surveyors
claims that Hawaii is at the cross
roads OF the Pacific. Either the ISL
ands have bsen shifted or new cross
roads have been made The fact re-
mains that the rosd from Canada to
Australia no longer goes through
Hawaii, and that the road from
Nicaragua to China will be shorter
and cheaper by crossing through
San Francisco, The end will
be that we will be left
alone by America and Great
Britain alike. The commercial i'm
portance attributed to us seems to
have been exaggerated, if it was not

community. The Advertiser doesn't
even deny the possibility of the
reported expeditions and virtually
creates the impression that there is
something in it. Aud everybody
conversant with affairs knows that
the Ashfords are confning them
selves to agitating with the British
and American governments and are
not wasting time in organizing alb
surd and impossible piratical ex-
pc editions. 1t is about time the
foolish reports were suppressed.
The Electric Gable Car bill is yet
being railroaded through the Legis-
lature. We hope that the Senate
before granting the franchise will
carefully investigate the financial
circumstances OF the promoters.
Two Of them are known here, and
either Of those two are capitalists.
or the rest one is working in an in
surance office here and another
came down as steerage passenger
in the Warrimoo. OF course even
capitalists may chose that mode Of
travelling but as rule they don't;
especially when they are "promo-
ting" great enterprises. The other
promoters may have capital but
there is so far nothing to show that
such is the case. II the scheme
is simply to rope in lot of unsus
pecting victims, widows and orphans
and trust funds, aud then divide the
first subscribed 100000 and then
finally bond the debt and let the
bondholders freeze out the stock
holders and corral the property,
then it is the duty of the senate to
call halt and kill the bill. If on
the other hand it can be proven to
the satisfaction OF the public that
the promoters are acting bona fide,
that they have sufficient capital to
push the enterprise, that there are
proper securities for the completion
of the road and penalties for a
failure to do so then grant the fran
chise and let the company work out
its own salvation-or the destruc-
tion financially OF its stockholders
may be.
Article 20, Section 2, OF the docu-
ment known as the Constitution OF
the Republic of Hawaii, reads: "The
Minister Of Finance shall submit to
the Senate, at each regular session
OF the Legislature, appropriation
bills for the succeeding biennial
period" The Minister of Finance
submitted his bills to the Repre-.
sentatives, as Of right they should
be, in a representative government,
aud had to withdraw them and pre-
sent them to the Senate. The peo-
pie must pay the taxes, and the
initiative in raising revenue and
spending it should be with their re-
presentatives. However, this is only
another OF the peculiar features OF
a constitution that has never been
submitted to the people for ratifca
ton. In preparing the Constitution
Mr. Dole and his colleagues had
their own unquestioned way, and
seem to have acte / as arbitrarily as

here and elsewhere, but we must ad
NIT that we never dreamed of sur.
prises which were in store for us,
and which have developed since the
Government inserted in its appro-
priation bill an item granting an
allowance to Princess Kaiulani.
1t seems that the patriotic gentle
men who lately devoted their time
and intelligence = and also their
vernacular-to abusing all and every
thing connected with the monarchy,
have passed through transforma-
tion scene and now make appear
ance as upright, fair. minded and
honest men. The stigma of bigotry
aud narrow mindedness which re-
Gently has been cast on these virtu
Gus citizens seems now to have been
uncalled for aud unjust. They are
broad minded liberal patriots, and
don't you forget it.-At least they
say so.
The surprise began when the item
was under consideration in the SEN
ate. The attitude of the various
Senators was most astonishing. Mr.
FL. P. Baldwin, who likes to pose as
a charitable Christian Hawaiian and
a special friend of the young, feeble,
and unprotected, came out vigor-
ously against the pension. II the
session had been with closed doors
the public would never have been
aware of his attitude. He would
have,as he always has, done-shrug-
ged his shoulders and said that he
did as much as he could. That can
be understood m ore than one way.
He and McCandless opposed the
item because the young Princess had
gone to Washington with Mr.. Theo.
III. Davies and worked for her rights.
They thought that that was suffi-
cient reason to refuse the allowance.
Ministers Hatch and Smith then
furnished the second surprise by
holding that the Princess had every
possible right to defend herself from
loss, and that her voyage to Wash
ington was proper and sensible, from
her point of view. The Ministers
also desired to state that Mr.. Davies
had declared that he would. cease
his opposition to the republic when
his queen--the Empress of India
should acknowledge the republic of
Hawaii. Mr.. Davies was a man of
honor and he had kept his word,
which nobody can ever deny. What
an admission for the traducers of
that most estimable gentleman who
at one time was to be deported il
not hanged, drawn and quartered,by
the ministerial supporters.
Mr.. Hatch also told the Senate to
the utter surprise of its members
that the solid constituents were in
favor of granting the allowance and
that their opinion counted great
deal more than the sentiments OF
the loud-mouthed irrational scream
ers.
