TOPICS OF The DAY.

In the most reverential manner
and with all due respect to Chief
Justice Judd, may we ask him how
he knows those persons who have
the appreciation of Coda
Since S. E. Bishop with his un-
equalled knowledge of surveying,
took the map OF the world on Mer-
GATORS projection and ruled straight
lines from Hawaii to every other
part in the Pacific, it has been GUS
tomary to call the islands the cross.
roads of the Pacific. The result
looked like cartwheel of which
Hawaii was the hub. 1t is evident
that S. E., envious of his old Boston
the hub of the earth-wished that
his new Boston--to be-should be
called the hub Of the sea. 1t makes
no difference that more learned
and skilful geographers and sur
veyors showed that San Fran
cisco was nearer the centre of
all trade routes on the Pacific,
because the world was round in
reality, and not fiat, as on Bishops
map. That may have been superior
knowledge or only the jealousy
caused by the sunspot's aflerglow
of skill. Be that as it may, the main
object of Bishop was to enhance
Hawaii's value to America after the
Nicaragua canal should be opened.
1t will therefore interest our read
ers TO learn that the Congressional
engineering committee appointed to
visit the canal have returned and re-
ported in brief as follows: That it
will cost at least $l34,000,000; that
the present scheme requires many
changes And that in view of
these it will require observations
made for at least a calendar
year to determine its varying slope,
volume, and water surface eleva
tion." In short there would be
required in the work of observation
to obtain the data for the formin
of final project eighteen months
time, covering two dry seasons" So
we have years yet to wait before the
"cross roads of the Pacific" is an ac-
complished fact.

Honolulu, Dec. I9, 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
clowns" 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.
Tohelp in thatN tNnoble purpose
we have imported the very
thing suitable for Christmas
presents. This 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, 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.

Since Mr.. Hartwell entered the
lists Judge Writings friends have
had deal to say about the ingrati-
tude of republics, and of the Repub-
lie of Hawaii in particular. Those
OF us who remember the days of
January of this year are reminded
that iNwas Judge Whiting who was
ready to don a military title and sit
as head of the military commission
to do the bidding of the oligarchs.
At the same time Judge Hart
wells friends urge his claims for
services rendered during the riotous
days of January. This will seem a
mystery to the uninitiated; but it,
is nevertheless true that it was Judge
Hartwells hand that pulled the
strings that moved the puppets of
the Military Commission. 1t was
he who coached the Judge Advocate,
the "Holy Terror" and the staff of
lnquisitors who disturbed the sleep
of the unfortunates who were jailed.
All the same Judge Writings
friends may urge, with great force
and justice, that their candidate had
the courage to stand forth, that was
so conspicuously absent in Mr..
Hartwell

short, the whole octopus business, like
the other delectable illustrations in
COINS School," is delusion and a
snare. The worst thing that could happen
to this country would be the ruin OF Eng
land. No merchant would look with sat
isfaction on the ruin Of his best custom
er.
Another favorite argument OF the free
silver advocates is that England first
adopted the gold standard and has grown
rich by it, and that, therefore, 1t must
be bad for other countries. Let rs note
two things in this connection:
First.-England first adopted tria' by
jury and the writ Of habeas corpus 9
first enforced the principle Of freed m
that no man should be deprived Of life,
liberty or property but by the Judgment
Of his peers or the law Of the land.
Shall we discard these sacred muniments
of liberty because they are Of English
origin?
Second. England has prospered
Under the gold standard, why not the

ever became really prosperous by the
ruin Of its neighbors. In the great COM

one makes trade with all and helps to

Senator Turpie Of Indiana tries to
break the force Of what is known a
the hammer test" of money-that IL,
the fact that gold coin beaten out Of
shape retains its value, while silver
coin treated in the same way loses hall
Its value-by claiming that, on account
Of the one-tenth alloy $40 goldpiece
would only be worth 80 if it were put
under tie hammer. Senator Turpie ought
to know better than to delude his fol-
lowers with such misleading nonsense.
The weight Of the pure gold in a so
coin is the same as in an ingot worth
go. The alloy has nothing to do with
the value Of our gold coins, as any jew
elry manufacturer who melts down dou-
BILE eagles for use in his business can
tell the Indiana statesman. 1t is the
20 $40 grains Of gold which constitute
the value Of the standard dollars Of
IS $40 grains, and that weight Of gold
Is worth just as much when the coin
containing it is melted or hammered
out Of shape. Thousands Of SO and go
pieces are melted every year for use in
the arts. Does Senator Turpie suppose
that business men are foolish enough to
pay $40 for 90 worth Of gold merely be-
cause it happens to be in the form Of q
coin?

A Double Row OF japanese Buddhas

Close to this interesting pool is the
avenue Of images, representing tn,
Amida Buddha. The idols vary in size,
but are similar in design. There are sew,
eral hundred Of them altogether, aud
they sit facing one another in two long
rows. We asked the little Jap who
brought Us to the place how many Of
them there were. In an awed whisper
he replied, Nobody knows. Then he
told Us how impossible it was to count
them. Each image was made unsightly
by having numbers of little bits Of paper
stuck on to it and chewed bits Of paper
which had been spat at it. The object Of
this designation we failed to discover,
though our friend Hojo informed Us they
were put on by the young priests, part
OF whose novitiate it was to attempt to
count the Buddhas.

We started on cooperative lines, each

however, were fruitless, for we had not

In his recent sound money speech ct
Hillsboro, Tex, Judge Rufus Hardy
cited the following historical facts:
The United States today has Q larger
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
It has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country on earth
today has Of all kinds Of money.
1t has more silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today.
It has more gold than silver, and the
volume Of its silver circulation is great

of gold, silver and paper reduced to
silver-of any free coinage nation.
The United States under gold stand.
ard-since 1e73-has maintained a
greater circulation per capita than it
ever did before.
There has been five times more silver
coined under the gold standard, from
1878 till now, 90 years, than there was
under free coinage from 1892 to 1878,
81 years.
Every nation that has adopted the
gold standard, except one or two who
are on deprecated paper bases, has in
creased its circulation.
No nation Of first class civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type Of free sill
yer nation on earth on double standard,
so called, and its per capita circulation
is &4.71.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 1878 more than the entire
circulation Of Mexico
The wages Of no free silver country
on earth average third Of those in the
United States.
No country on earth has in practice q
double (gold and silver standard.
No country for 200 years (since COM
merce became internationally ever has in
practice had double standard.
The proposition that there can be but
one standard is in fact self evident.
