VOICE OF THE PRESS.

Report has it that Thurston is sick
of the Republic business for Hawaii,
and favors the restoration of the mon
archy with Kaiulani for the royal
figure head. We are inclined to guess
that the story is too far-fetched to be
reliable. Thurston isn't that kind of
a tickle teetotum. The restoration of
the monarchy would be relapse that
no enlightened Hawaiian, much less
Thurston, could contemplate with any
degree of satisfaction. Thurston has
good reason to be Disguised with the
treatment of the Cleveland crowd,
but he knows it would be playing into
their hands to restore the monarchy.
Besides he knows, or ought to know,
that the administration doesn't repre-
sent the American people. He and
his fellow patriots have only to keep
their courage up until the last rem
nant of the discredited Democracy is
swept from the White House. Then
under a new administration more
truly representative of American opin-
ion and American policy Hawaii will
become a part of the American union.

A PENNSYLVANIA lawyer who
was recently a visitor in the Isl
ands and incidently made an in
vestigation of w. T. Stewards case,
has written two column letter to
the Pittsburg Dispatch in which
he says: 1.-THE institute of deten-
ton, where the criminals are de-
tanned, is called the prison. Prac-
tica1y it is a penitentiary, Jail,
Workhouse, house of correction, etc,
all combined in one. While not
: , large or elaborate as the peni-
tentiaries of Pennsylvania, the
prison is clean, dry and airy and
in every way adapted for the uses
intended in this climate. The
writer and one of Pittsburg's prom
inent steel manufacturers made an
investigation Of this prison. We

chosen from among the convicts,
and found them to be more savory
and palatable than the meals in
some of the hotels west Of the Miss
issippi river at which we were
obliged to stop during our travels"
His impressions of the political
conditions are as follows: ITO a
visitor, who has met the former
royalists, the supporters Of the Re-
public and the merchants, the Gov

MEMBERS of the Jockey Club GER
tainIy have reason to feel gratifed
with the result Of their efforts as
displayed in the events at Kapio-
lani park yesterday. 1t was day
that every lover of honest horse
racing could thoroughly enjoy; a
reminder of the days when jockey
ing was an unknown quantity and
every event decided on its merits.
The crowd was orderly and every
body was in The best humor. There
was some delay in calling the
events, but on the whole the day
was complete success and reflect
ed not a little credit upon the Of
fcers of the club who have set a
worthy standard for future celebra-
tions of similar character.

LEGISLATIVE WORK TO BEGIN.

With the converting Of the Leg
islature today the reorganized re-
publican government Of Hawaii
will be complete in every feature
and we'll on it's way to complete
the successful history of the past
two years. Seldom, if ever, has
there been time when more
unanimous spirit obtained among
the members of our Legislative body
to dispose of the measures brought
before them promptly and In a
manner that shall rebound to the
best interests of the country and
its people. The very fact that the
members are called to meet in ex-
Graordinary session to act upon
measures resulting from the gen
eraI metamorphosis through which
the political institutions of the
country are passing, measures that
are in large degree to complete
the work Of the constitutional con-
vention, places personal resposi-
bility upon the peoples representa-
&ives assembled today quite as i'm
portant as that assumed by the
men who drafted the constitution.
Citizens of Hawaii are looking to
members of the Legislature for
quick work, concentration of
labor that shall result in quality
rather than quantity in the enact
ments that are to become the law
of the land;/a business session in
every sense/of the word. From the
disposition of the individual mem
bers thus far displayed we believe
that the expectations of the people
will be fully realized, and that no
time will be wasted in finishing the
work of the session as mapped
out by the Presidents message.
Bills of secondary Importance,
which may be expected to make
their appearance will undoubtedly
be put in the hands of committees
TO pass upon and report to the
regular session. The land law is
looked upon as the measure of
paramount Importance, and oppor-
tunity will be given for a full dis
cussion, and ample hearing given
representatives of the various inter-
ests that are now in their infancy,
and the success of which depend
upon the inducements offered by
the Government. Public works are
not to be sighted, and sufficient
appropriations will, doubtless, be
allowed to carry on much needed
improvements on the various
islands of the group.

the Pacific will not perish from the
earth, but will endure forever "
This gentleman had an opportunity
to make an unbiased study of all
phases of life in this country, even
to that of the occupants Of the
dungeon cells" whose imaginary
ills have been paraded before the
public. After the sensational pro-
ductions from various sources to
which this country has been subject
ed, the above is quite refreshing to
say the least.

THE idea of taking Colonel Nc
Lean to task for making an official
call upon Mrs. Dominis is as idiotic
as the source from which it ema-
mates. The fact is Mrs. Dominis is
particularly and solely in care of
the military department of the
Government, an order to that effect
having been issued, and Colonel
Mclean as the active head Of the
military forces might very prop
erly be called to account if he did
not see to it that she was receiving
proper attention. In no way could
he perform the duties of his office
better than by personal inter
view. We have no doubt that
Mrs. Dominis' welfare is safe in
the hands of her friends, but it is
the colonel's business to see that
there is not the question of a doubt
that such is the case.

! cleveland, 1ISSIldIl anu OOIIl~
pany that while Nicaragua
turned first to the United
States for help in her trouble
with England, the chief honors
of the settlement are carried
off by Nicaragua's neighbor,
Salvador.
A problem so difficult for the
Cleveland administration to
handle in any satisfactory way,
before Corinto was seized, has
now been easily solved through
the Salvadorean Minister in
London.
It is now asserted in Wash
ington that the suggestion to
Salvador to put herself forward
was made by the Department
of State. Be that as it may, it
does not take from her the
credit of her act.
1t only raises the question
why British occupation of Cor
into was awaited before a
settlement was reached. OF
course, Salvador was power
less to demonstrate or reason
with England while threaten
ing her would have been out
of the question. Salvador has
not a solitary warship, nor is
she of such importance to Eng
land that she could be counted
upon to help her. She simply
satisfied herself with the brief
est examination that Nicaragua
could and would pay the
money demanded by Great
Britain, offered herself as guar
antor, and the whole thing was
over.
Salvador is the smallest
sovereign state in this hemis-
phere. In area she is less than
New Jersey; in population not
equal to Connecticut. But in
Nicaragua's hour of distress it
is she, rather that has proved
herself the giant and the
United States the piomy. It
is said that Coming events
cast their shadows before
them" Can it be possible
that the United States will
again play the part of the pig
my as regards diplomacy in
connection with these islands ?
Imitation is the sincerest
fattery and there can be no
better evidence of the super
iority and value of the Pennsyl-
vina Lawn Mower. We re-
gard durability as the first i'm
portance, and with decent care
one of the mowers ought to
last life time. 1t is one of the
lightest and easiest running
lawn mowers ever placed upon
the market, a child can run it
and considers it is fun. A
we'll kept lawn is one of the
many things that go to make a
home attractive and inviting.
We have the famous Good
year & Shaumut garden hose,
made Of 4-ply heavy pure rub
Der, and will out wear any
other hose on the market.
Economy is something that we
should practice.
If you have anything that is
worth keeping we should en-
deavor to keep it well. We
have a reel for the preserva-
ton of hose when not in use,
that is compact and at the
same time facilitates your NOV
ing the hose from one part of
the yard to another.
Take a few minutes of your
time some morning and invest
in one of our Ball Nozzle
Lawn Sprinklers. No direct
ions are necessary. Turn on
the water-the ball does it all.
The Ball Nozzle once seen
sells itself. It is a perfect
lawn sprinkler and reproduces
the April shower. Another
point is that it is one Of the
best tree irrigators, and this
feature should be thoroughly

EgYptian Cotton.

Washington, June 3-Consul General
Penfeld at Cairo has made o report to
the State Department on the prospective
cotton crop of Egypt for the present
year, which demonstrates that the Nile
country is becoming a serious competitor
In this staple. The Khedival government
having no system for collecting crop
statistics, the American consul general
has employed representatives who have
carefully canvassed the cotton growing
section and their reports warrant the
statement that there is no great increase
of acreage over last year. A conserva-
tive estimate places the present area at
l,075, 900 acres with a possible crop
under favoring conditions of 100000
bales, American standard. Planters find
an incentive in current high prices to
extend the cotton territory but the ex
tension in 1894 was so great as to about
reach the limit of possibility until irriga-
tion can have fresh impulse.
Shipments of Egyptian long-stapled
cotton to the United States continue to
increase and for the commercial year.
I894>'95, will amount to 1880 bales, of
750 pounds each, the equivalent of II,
$50 bales of American standard. The
shipment ten years ago was less than
4, 900 bales.

for $4O0. II the fire department was not i'm

Mrs Ann Clifford was granted permission to
cover her house with tin.
The mayor referred to Vance Park" He
said 500 was appropriated by the old board for
the erection of band stand. He thought the
stand should be painted, seats made, water
works repaired. and park commission ap-
pointed to report from time to time to the board
Mr. G A Spratt was elected city engineer and
sanitary officer, the two Offices to be merged
A petition from sundry citizens was presented
asking that the nuisance caused by the drain of
Irwin's creek and Victor pond be abated a
committee of six physicians with the chairman
of the sanitary committee and DR. UDonoghue
was appointed to look into the matter and re-
port back. Alderman Wilder suggested that the
committee have its report ready by Wedr esday
so same could be presented to the board OF
county commissioners with view toward
securing their aid.
Aldermen Williams, chairman CT the fire
committee, read his report.
Messrs F Creswell, Chas n Davidson and Ed

elected in their stead. Alderman Tom Carl

High and low Tide in Congress.

Inc Republicans will have in the next
Congress 244 members of the House OF
representatives. In no previous House
nave there been as many as 200 Republi-
cans, though after the tidal wave of 1872
the Forty-third Congress, elected at that
time, contained 1874 Republicans. Be.
sioes breaking the record numerically
tne Republicans will also be stronger
tnan ever before as regards the total
membership. mem After the tidal wave of
1917 the Democrats bad 80 mem bers to
lS4 Republicans, while now with the in
creased representation they have only
Iu4 members While the next Congress
VIII contain more Republicans than any
previous one in the history of the party,
the Fifty-second Congress, elected in
1872, contained the smallest number of
republican Congressmen-88
Ihe Democrats achieved their high
water mark Of representation in the
FItty-second Congress-236 and had q
majority over their Republican adversaries
OF l48. The Republican majority in the
next Congress over the Democratic
Representatives will be only 14O. The
low-water mark of Democratic represen-
tation was reached in the Thirty ninth
Congress, elected in 1864. There were
in that Congress only forty Democrats,
and lonesomeness was the most marked
characteristic of the Democratic caucus
The next House OF Representatives will
consist of 355 members. The First Con-
gress OF the United States consisted of
only seventy three members.
