QucstiOns Regarding the Nicaragua
Canal and Pacific Cable.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-During the session OF
the House of Commons this afternoon Sir
Edward Harlan Conservative, asked wheth-
err the government was aware that Mr.. Nor
gans Nicaraguan canal bill had passed the
United States Senate and was now before
the House. and that Mr. Morgan had stated
in the Senate that no foreign government
objected to the bill and whether. in view
of the Importance of the canal to British
ship owners, the government would make
urgent representations to the government. of
the United States against any provisions in
Mr. Morgan's bill detrimental to the inter-
ests of British shipping. Sir Edward also
asked whether the government would con-
slider the propriety Of urging on the govern
ment of the United States the Importance
of the creation Of a British and American
commission to deal with the question of The
construction of the canal and its status
Sir Edward Grey. parliamentary Secretary
for the Foreign Office replied that 1t was
not usual for the government to make any
representations against bills before foreign
legislatures. The government, he added.
considered that such canal as it was oro-
should be under international control, and
Whatever steps 1t may deem desirable VIII
be taken by the government TO advance THIS
view He however, saw no reason TO sup
pose that the United States government
would not maintain its treaty engagements
Sir George Baden Powell, Conservative,
questioned the government in regard to the
proposed Pacific cable. Mr.. Sydney Buxton,
parliamentary Secretary of the Colonial ~
flee in response, said that negotiations fela-
tive to the construction of a cable were pro-
ceedins but that it would not be TO the pup
lie interest to enter into detaieu state
ment of their status.

Deputy Jailer W. Kamana was

Mr.. Charles Creighton called at
Judiciary building this morning and
took the oath to the republic. Mr..
Creighton's certificate is No. 555 and

several months on a fimsy suspicion
OF having been connected with the

Wecan fully realize the surprise
of the "blooming foreigner" unac-
quainted with our beautiful jury
system. The inconsistency of the
system is astonishing. A man is, ac-
cording to our constitution, entitled
to be tried for any crime or offense
by twelve of his peers. The attor-
neys for the prosecution and for the
defense have remedies through
which they can challenge jurors and
make any amount of objections to
the presence OF individuals in the
jury box. When the remedies and
objections are exhausted it is gen
orally understood that fair, honest
and reliable jury, has been obtained.
A jury in fact in which the people,
the defendant and judge can have
the utmost confidence.

One of the excellent features of
social life in Honolulu is the unusual
cordial feeling existing between
employer and employee. A notable
instance of this was shown yester-
day in the cordial welcome home to
Mr.. Young, manager OF the Homo
lulu Iron Works. The largest aggre-
CATION of mechanic labor in Honolulu
is there. One and all assembled to
greet the boss on his arrival from
his trip to Scotland, as one and all
had assembled to wish godspeed on
his departure last year. Such spon-
taneous evidences Of reciprocal trust
and admiration between employer
and employee make bright GASES in
the almost continual bitterness
otherwise displayed between politi-
cal opponents. If there were more
of it we might be able to drop
faction.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Oct. 25, 1896.

1t has been demonstrated in
a most serious manner during
the late epidemic of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in Opt
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great.
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in a storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of a tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece of work can be turned out
at cn lpu o ,Nr,na

OF it we might be able to drop
faction.
With an expression from the rep
resentative men Of this city, with a
resolution from the American League
and with a we'll defined sentiment of
the Press representatlng the general
public, in favor of executive elem
ency towards the political prisoners,
we cannot believe that President
Dole and his advisors will hesitate
in liberating these unfortun ate and
sufficiently punished men. Let
Thanksgiving Day be the occasion
for opening the doors to their cells.
Let them on that day be restored
to their families and homes, of
which-alas-so many have met des-
titution if not total ruin, through
the misguided so-called patriotism
OF few men untitled and incapable
of carrying out the wild dreams Of
ambition and self aggrandizemept
which until then lowered over their
couches. The general amnest y
which we trust will be extended to
to all political prisoners next week,
will prove the main lever in the
furtherance of the objects and policy
of the Government. When every
political prisoner is outside of Oahu
jail, the people will be ready to lis
ten to arguments aud to consider
the all-important question OF annex
alton.
There is nothing sure in this world
but death and taxes ssys an old
proverb. Yet in his county the
latter does not seem so sure. 1t is
said that the large property holders
escape. their fair share of taxation
by undervaluation and that the
small proprietor is taxed on his
full value or even over it. 1t is ever
limited at in the Advertiser that
some properties escape taxation
altogether. Yet in face of these
facts it is calmly proposed to raise
the rate of taxation. II the exemp
tion limit was not 80 low as it is anC
were our taxes based on annual
value instead of capital value as al
present and were not the persona
taxes so heavy, and the indirec

Nevertheless when a case is partly
presented and not finished the jur-

respective homes and take their

authorities evidently think that some
of them may be tampered with and
