SENATOR'S NOTUNlTED

a Majority of the senate Appear to Al

are Opposed to such Movement.

WASHINGTON. Nov. Cd. Opinions arc
decidedly at a variance among the Re-
publican Senators with reference to
the reorganization of the Senate and
nothing definite will be known until
after the converting Of that body. Sen.
ator Sherman, who is chairman Of the
Republican caucus, expressed the
opinion to-day that The Republicans
would hold u conference early In the
session for the consideration Of this
question. a majority Of the Ecpub.
lican Senators here appear 60 advocate
an effort Mt reorganization on Repub.
licap lines, but some of the older and
morc conservative of them Oppose u
i1ovcment in this direction, contend

ING u working majority in the senate.
some Republican senators who favor
organization advance the idea that the
Democrats will not demand u division
when the election comes, but allow
the Republicans To take it 10y default.
Democratic senators here do not con
firm this view, and the indications are
that they will hold the Offices until
the Republicans show themselves able
TO take them. To secure this. the Re-
publicans will have To obtain some Of
the Populist votes.
Senator PETER, who is generally re-
gardcd as the leader of the third
party, Is advocating the maintenance
of an independent position, and it il
considered probable that thus advice
will be followed to the extent OF put
ting a ticket IN the field ut the begin.
ming of the contest II the Republicans
attempt reorganization. The Repub.
Leans are claiming, however, that
they will sccure senator Stewards
vote and that Senator Jones also will
probably stand with them. These &c.
questions would be su efficient to enable
the Republicans to take the organic
alton.
II appears altogether probable that
the question will be postponed until
after the seating Of the Utah senator's,
which cannot happen until some time
in January or February, depending
upon the expedition displayed in their
election by the Utah Legislature. IT
is altogether probable. that by that
time the Republicans will be in condi-
ton to claim the organization and that
they will take II.
There will be an effort on the part
of somC of the senators 10 compromise

Republicans in connection with the
committee on finance by enlarging the
committee to eleven and giving the sill
yer men one Of the new places and the
gold men the other.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Dec. 19, 1895.

He had been in the Hawaiian
Islands nearly year. He ar
rived here in the latter part of
January, 1895, and his fortunes
had been between the cups" and
"downs." This is the first
Christmas that he is to expert
ence far from home, far from
his friends and his relations.
The old picture of the snow-clad
hills, the merry bells of the
sleigh, and the blaze of the
Christmas trees is inscribed on
his mind. He has made friends
here in the ever sunny cline of
Hawaii. His friends want him
to forget the longing for the
snowy country and the Christmas
as he saw it, and they will offer
him their presents and Christ
mas gifts and try to make him
believe that he once more is
patronized by the King of the
North, Santa Claus.
To help in that noble purpose
we have imported the very
thing suitable for Christmas
presents. Phis year we have
made speciality of Aluminium
Ware, and we propose to present
to the public something never
seen here before. Aluminium
Toilet Sets are the rage and
fashion to-day in every part of
the civilized world. They are
made of pure Aluminium and
will not tarnish. The Alumi-
mum Ware looks like silver
and give as much pleasure to
the owner as do goods made of
sterling silver. We know of no
more appropriate Christmas
present than a set of Combs and
Brushes in Aluminium. Or a
Card Receiver, a Mirror, a Cigar
Stand, Ash Receiver, ETC., etc.
The price of these excellent
goods brings them within the
reach of everybody and to give
truly useful Christmas present
has become easy to everyone.
While we have imported a
large invoice of Aluminium
Ware we have not neglected our
Silver Goods; Pitchers and Plates
Cocktail Shakers and Forks and
Knives in the latest fashions
are a special feature of our
Christmas exhibition. We have
all kinds of Plated Silverware of
the highest degree and finish,
and we invite the public to call
at our store and remember the
poor lonely fellows who, on
Christmas eve, will feel home
sick and lonely and deeply
grateful for the smallest token
signifying that they are not
forgotten, although far away
from home.

Honolulu, according to the Tri-
bune is entitled TO her harbor,
wharves, etc, because they create
revenue for the government. We
must not have unnecessary roads,
however. Hilo wants the taxpayers

contribute to harbor, wharves and
docks on her beach which will be
sources of revenue, but she has evi-

"The Royalists in Honolulu are
doing their utmost Just now to Sc
cure the release OF g. T. Gulick,
Robert Wilcox, w. II. Seward, John
Bowler, and the other political pri-
soners, andon that account are not
very anxious to engage in any more
trouble with the Government. For
that reason, l think, was largely due
the failure OF Morrow and Under
wood to win many Royalists over to
their cause. 1t is a fact, l under
stand, that a number who have been
invited by the two conspirators to
join the movement to overthrow the
Government, are now willing to go
on the stand and testify against the
prisoners should their testimony be

Editor Harrington of the Adver-
tiser is in San Francisco and he has
of course talked. That Mr.. Earring
ton should for a moment give a
straight statement OF affairs in Ha-
waii could not be expected. We are
surprised to notice him making a
statement which certainly gives a
wrong inference and can only be
construed to mean that the alleged
conspirators Underwood and Sheri-
dan had been en- rapport with the So
called royalists, and that the latter
were perfectly willing to join these
adventurers and confidence men as
they appear to be, in an uprising
against the Government. That no
arrest of any local parties in connec-
tion with the case OF these men has
been made is a proof that Mr.. Far
rington's insinuation is false. The
Government of Hawaii does not let a
chance go by to "catch" royalist.

more revenue to the treasury than
does the Waikiki road, the parks,
etc, in Honolulu.
The fairest way out OF the diff
Guilty is to leave it to the two towns
individually to build their own
wharves, etc. II the Tribune can
induce the plantations around Hilo
to pay taxes on their true valuation,
render to Caesar in Honolulu the
amount they now owe, there will be
a sufficient balance left to build
everything the Hilo Tribune desires
to make her a city of the world.
The trouble is that the planters on
Hawaii have method of their own
in which they get even with Homo
lulu and the Capitalization" The
method is used when the tax asses
sors comes around, and when a
plantation for example which has
paid $127,0 600 in a yearly dividend
assesses its total valuation at $l25,,
600 If the Tribune can induce the
planters, ranchers and other large
taxpayers on Hawaii to pay their
just dues to their government, there
will be enough money and sufficient
Willingness to spend just proper
ton on the muchly needed internal
improvements on rhe big island.
While we admire the Hilo Tribune
for the patriotic feeling which it
shows to the little town where it
appears, and while we fully excuse
its rather unnecessary patriotism,
and even forgive. it for using the
small farmer as catch word in its
arguments, we would like to know
how it comes that the Tribune de-
votes space and italicized lines in
advocating the election as Senator
for Hawaii of Alexander Young of
Honolulu. This seems to us the
crowning inconsistency of the good
Hilo people. If Hilo is what the
Tribune tells us it is, why is it that
there isn't suitable man there to
serve the country and especially the
rising" town by accepting a seat in
the Legislaturei Mr.. Alexander
Young has some interest in one or
two plant ations on Hawaii, but he is
to all purposes Honolulu man. He
even lives at Waikiki, and will pro-
badly with his family use our new
beach road much more than he
would the roads which the Tribune
is clamoring for. Send Hiloite
down or at least man from Hawaii
to serve in the national Senate, and
instruct him to show determined
fight against the Capitalization of
Government in Honolulu. Mr.. Alex
ander Young will never do that.

MONDAY, DEC. 80, 1896.
GENERALIZATION

We are glad 10 see that the Hilo
Tribune has thrown down the glove
to Honolulu and is ready to enter
the field against Capitalization of
government:
Five hundred thousand dollars is
the sum it is estimated the beach
road to Waikiki, in Honolulu, will
cost before it is finished. The
Government is building it, 1t is a
source OF no revenue, but rather
means of additional expense. Thou
sands OF dollars each year will be
required in keeping it in repair. No
new resources will by this means
be developed"
So writes our friend in Hilo, and
we fully sympathize with him,
He could have gone further
though and reminded Honolulu
about it's Punchbowl road, it's band
devoted to play at squares and
parks here, its army devoted to
drawing salaries and joining parades
its subsidized railroad, mail-steamers
etc. etc. There is no doubt that
the taxes of the country are un-
justly spent in measures solely for
the benefit of Honolulu and that
the other islands with their miser-
able roads, without wharfs and
bridges, without bands and armies
without subsidized railroads and
steamers have kick. We should
think they would miss the army
mostly.
The remedy against this central
ization of power in Honolulu is to
make the capital a municipality.
The next legislature ought to pass
law necessary to carry such a mea-
sure. Then Honolulu real estate
hoiders and municipal taxpayers
could build their fancy roads, i'm,
prove their fancy parks, listen to
their fancy music, and do just as
they please, as long as the money
for such specific purposes were
forthcoming. A municipal govern
ment in Honolulu would be an ex-
cellent thing, and we should recon-
mend the same measure for Hilo as
soon as that little village cuts her
eye-teeth.
When we are told by the Tribune
that "Honolulu has seen its best
days; is on the Decline" we fear that
our contemporary is changing rose
colored spectacles for use in Hilo,
with some of very gloomy, blue
color when he reaches Honolulu.
We admit that Honolulu does a
great deal Of consuming, but we are
not yet in consumption.
Our contemporary in it's oppo-
sition to Capitalization is not quite
consistent, however, Hilo snaps
her dear little finger at us and says
I'VE are as good as you are, we want
as big a piece of the pie as you get"
This is said by Hilo, not by the ISL
and Of Hawaii. On the contrary if
we go to Kohala, or Hamakua, or
Kau and Kona, we find a determined
opposition to the Capitalization in
Hilo of Everything" in the Island
of Hawaii. Hilo objects to the CEN
tralization of Everything" in Homo
lulu. But it brooks no interference
in Hawaii, and wishes you to under
stand that she is the capital of the
big island, and don't you forget it
if you do, she will blow her little
tin-horn to further order.
