The happy optimist who believes
that the nation grows better
as it grows older sees much
to congratulate himself on in the
attitude of the great political parties.
The ideal of politics is that measures
not men, should govern the choice Of
the people. When we look back on
the bitter personalities and heartlesS
abuse that have marked our political
campaigns, the present methods show
the great advance between the now
and the then. We have had one great
campaign with the tariff as the bone
OF contention. If the parties can
only determine what each believes on
the silver question, we shall see
another campaign that will make our
millions of voters think, and add to
the great sum of intelligence by that
thinking. The millions who are lust
on the verge of stepping over on the
reform side, do not delay but come at
once. We will have a happy nation
once more.

DECEMBER 7, 1895.

In every account of weddings,
receptions, anniversaries and dear
knows what there is always a des-
cription of the floral decorations
but never a word about the pots
that hold the plants and flowers.
There are two reasons for this ::
One, because the pots are usually
such commonplace affairs that
they are not worth mentioning; the
other is because they escape the
reporters eye.
Heretofore there has been only
one place in Honolulu where gen
uine majolica vases for plants
could be bought. Now, there are
two. OURS is the other one, and we
think it is the best because the
stock is larger and the assortment
more varied. Today is a good
time to come down and make your
selection.
There used to be only two or
three places where you could buy
decorated chamber set and the
ones they sold were Indifferent as
to quality or style; they contained
a certain number of pieces and
they managed to pretty well cover
wash stand. Ours were selected
first for their usefulness and next
for their beauty. You never saw
their equal in this country and you
may never again--the odd shape
will strike your fancy and the
price, So to So, will settle it so far
as you are concerned. There's
nothing cheap about them except
the price. If you were in the States
you would pay twenty dollars for
them and never murmur. We
don't want the earth but we want
your trade.
In the same room with the
chamber sets you will notice a
lot of whatnot ornaments for
holding flowers. Most anyone
would appreciate one of them as
a gift at this season, because they
are pretty and useful, and you will
enjoy giving one of them away
because they are inexpensive. The
assortment is larger than you
imagine. lie you prefer giving
away cut glass and do not feel
that you can spend much money
buy a piece of English cut glass.
1t costs about half what the Dor
finger American does, but it is
genuine.
We have the Dorfinger too.

RIandarindom I'm China.

1t is Mandarindom that is res
ponsible for the misgovernment of
China, by its negligence and its
corruption; and it is the Man
darlns who are the most furiously
opposed to the presence of the
foreigner, because in the Eu-
ropean-be he English, French,
or German-they detect the force
which in the end will strike them
down. Hence their connivance
at outrages on missionaries, il
not their actual instlgation of
these crimes. 1t is not their
Christianity but their Occiden-
talism which is the objectionable
offence of the missionaries in the
eyes of such persons as Ii Ping
chang, the now degraded Viceroy
of Szechuen. The fanaticism of
the mob of the Chinese cities is
carefully inaamed and stimu-
lated by their efforts. The ignor-
ance of the people is easily play
ed upon. The medical services
of the missionaries gives u con-
venient handle to the official
calumniator. AS the Times
special correspondent says today:
medicine in China is still
largely looked upon as black
art akin to sorcery, and when one
remembers of what loathsome
ingredients the healing drugs of
the Chinese medicine-man are
often made up, one need not
wonder at the readiness with
which the ignorant masses are
made to believe that remedies so
efficaclous as those administered
by the foreign devil must be com
pounded of unutterably fendish
substances. That cans Of pre-
served milk are the boiled down
brains of Chinese children, that
the eyes and other parts of the
human body are the most
potent substances employed in the
European pharmacop@ia, presents
nothing incredible or even impro-
bable to the ordinary Chinaman,
and when placards, issued with
the explicit or implicit sanction
of the local yamen, declare that a
foreigner has actually been
caught red handed in his barba-
rous laboratory, when, as was the
case thel other day in Szechuen,
an official message is sent by the
provincial authority over the Gov
ernment telegraph announcing
that living proofs of these horrible
practices have been produced in
open court, can one be surprised
at the results ? Whilst mad
dened populace wreaks a brutal
vengeance in atonement of its
imaginary wrongs the mandarin
either personally supervises, or is
conveniently blind to, the scene
of arson, pillage, and bloodshed
which he or his superiors have
prompted"
