A TRIBUTE TO THE AMERICAN
PRESS.

John Burns, the English labor lead
er, has returned home and has come
out in an interview denouncing our
political system and asserting that
all politicians in the United States
shared in the official corruption.
Michael Davitt, who is much bet
ter posted on American politics, has
replied to this and comments scath-
ingly upon Mr.. Burns readiness to
tell all about the whole United States
and other public men after having
grassed few days at the labor con-
ference in Denver and a week or ten
days in other American cities.
Towards the close OF his letter Mr..
Davitt says, I'm America nothing is
hidden from the public. Every job is
mercilessIy exposed by the most tren-
chant and responsible press of the
world"
Mr.. Davitt could pay no greater
tribute to our press than this. They
fearlessly expose either national or
corruption and all kinds of
abuses in state institutions. Tam
many was overthrown not only by
the attacks OF DR.. Parkhurst and the
Investigations of the Lexow commit
tee, but by the ceaseless efforts of the
press of New York. The great news
papers of our land not only lead the
world in news gathering but also in
influence over public affairs.

There are a great many
homes having zinc-lined bath
tubs that are in good condition
with this one exception: they
lack the features of a por-
celain lining. How to over
come this without going to the
expense of getting a new tub,
has been a question that has
worried a great many.
One pot of our WHITE
ENAMEL PAINT will do the
work, forming as it does a
GLOSSY SURFACE, almost
equal in hardness and durabil-
ity to that of porcelain itself,
being at the same time hardly
distinguishable from porcelain.
Consult your physician and
he will tell you by all means
to paint your bath tub with
Enamel Paint.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

line history VI IhO
1898 has been repeated with won
derful accuracy in the. events OF
the month of January, 1895. Dur
ing the opening weeks of the year
the country has experienced a
second attempt of the followers or
rather the malcontent adherents OF
Liliuokalani to overthrow the per-
sonal and property rights OF the
citizens to which the country owes
it's prominent position among the
nations of the world. AS January
IL, 1893, witnessed the entrance OF
a Government pledged to maintain
the inalienable rights of citizen
ship, on January II, 1885, was
celebrated the strength of that
Government to quell the revolu-
ton set on foot by the disturbing
element.
In many respects the country Is
in the same position as two years
ago except that the cause OF annex
alton has doubled its strength In
the minds of the American people.
Then, as now annexation is the
great object in view and this coun-
try is nearer the realization
of it's hopes than ever before.
Though the comparison is rather
far.fetched, it is possible that in
the person of Commissioner Blount
Hawaii entertained an angel un-
awares. Every move of President
Cleveland to cast discredit upon
the Provisional Government or the
Republic has bounded back with a
reflex action, the force of which
has been increased a thousand fold
as the truth has slowly but surely
been unfolded before American
citizens. A thousand and one
voters, who had but vague idea OF
Hawaii and its interests, have In
the past two years been undergo
ing an educational process, the ett1-
cacy of which was to certain ex-
tent displayed in the Congressional
elections of 1894.
At that time was heard, with no
uncertain tone, the voice OF the
American people. 1t was not Re-
publicans alone who rose In a
body to condemn the Administra-
TONS Hawaiian policy; party
lines were wiped out of existence,
Democrats and men of every po-
litical stamp joining in the cry.
1t must not be presumed that
President Cleveland's policy has
been a Democratic policy. The
political events of the United
States have yet to show it, if this
is true. Thus far we can see
nothing but display of personal
luminosity from President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham against
President Harrison.
The seeds of truth have been
quietly doing their work, and with
the reception of the news of the
present outbreak, American patriot
ism will be reused to action of no
uncertain type. A finishing blow
may be given the questionable
policy that has obtained for two
long years of uncertainty, and the
opportunity offers for the friends
of annexation to strike while the
iron is hot. Now is the time, II
ever, to place the cause of annexa'
ton before the American Congress
The feasibility of again repeating
the history of 1895 by sending a
commission to Washington fresh

saving machinery. 1t does not
make any difference what the
line of business is labor-saving
machinery is sought after.
Men whose minds take an in
ventive turn put the energies
in this direction more than any
other, the manufacturers de-
mand it and the inventors are
trying to fill the demand. We
have among our goods prob
ABLY a hundred different arti-
cles designed for this purpose,
Among the most important OF
these are the implements used
in the cultivation of sugar cane
land. Take first the Fertilizer
Distributor, a machine worked
by one man that will distribute
the fertilizer over nine acres
of land in one day. 1t not
only saves labor but it does
the work more thoroughly and
with absolutely no waste OF
material. Our orders for this
article have exceeded the de-
mand and we have been obi
ped to order more. The Cane
C,,l+;y,torc from the same
factory are recognized on Ha-
wall to be much superior to
anything of the kind ever used
here. These implements are
not experiments, they have
been used for a long time in
Louisiana where they have
given great satisfaction.
The Wertheim Duplex Sew
ing machine is more of a labor
saver than any other make,
because it does a greater
variety of work. Every lady
knows the trouble it is to sew
rufles, and that machine that
will sew just what is necessary
for ruf1es is not the stitch that
answers for making boys
trousers. It's a labor saver
that will sew both and the
Wertheim is the only one that
zciU. 1t not only sews the
chain and lock stitch, but it
makes a combination of both
that is as pretty an embroidery
stitch as you want to see. We
have number Of these
machines in various styles of
finish, the highest priced one
is cheaper than you can get
an ordinary machine for. You
save money and save labor in
getting a Wertheim.
These occasional rains cause
havoc with the water by max
ing it muddy and impure. We
have been selling the Improved
Stone Filter which makes it as
clear as a crystal. There is
another and very celebrated
filter called the "Pasteur."
We have made arrangements
for handling this article which
is exclusively used in public
institutions, places of business
and private houses in the
United States. One of them
has been placed in the Queens
Hospital and after a. careful
test in fltering muddy water
milk. and oil combined, DR.
Wood, the celebrated surgeon
of Honolulu says:
"I have examined the 'Pastem
Filter manufactured by the Pasteur
Chamberlain Company. I consider il
the most efficient filter have ever
seeD."
These filters are rented to
persons or sold outright as
preferred. Parties desiring tc
examine one can communicate
with US and Mr.. H. L. Theron
will call upon them at theil
residence or place of business
and thoroughly explain the
working of it. We expect Z
large business in this article
and from testimonials we have
examined we have no hesita'
ton in guaranteeing it to be
superior article.

Capt. M. Kenison.

This veteran steamboatman and es-
teeIned citizen died in New Orleans last
Monday, Esd inst, and was buried here
the next day. He was 63 years of age
and had been engaged in steamboating,
principally in the Opelousas trade, since
his seventeenth year. He was twice
married, and his only child-a beautiful
woman, who married Mr.. Chas. B. Ray,
of New Orleans-died seven years ago,
leaving two children. An only brother,
Alphonse, who has long been a resident
Of Galveston, Texas, and two sisters,
Mrs. DR.. Todd and Mrs. Wartelle, of
Washington, survive him. The Times
Democrat and Picaynne both published
interesting biographical sketches of the
deceased, accompanied by excellent
likenesses.
Capt. Kenison was born near Upe-
Dusas on the old family homestead near
Bayou Kenison, and was possessed of
many sterling qualities. He made
friends of all with whom le was thrown
in contact, and his death is keenly O.
gretted throughout the State.

An Excellent Show.

Pawnee Bills Wild West Show pitch
ed its tents on the East side fats, Thurs
day, and all day the grounds were
swarmed with eager spectators. Both
afternoon and evening performances
were largely attended, and all were
thoroughly pleased with the exhibition.
All the different phases of frontier life
were portrayed in a realistic and thrill
ing manner. aud for an exhibition of it's
kind it is the best that ever visited War
rem. The daring riding and feats of
l.orsemanship exhibited by bands of In
dians, cowboys and MexicaDs, was OF a
high order, and filed the hearts Of all
with admiration. The boomerang
throwing, by the Australian bushmen,
was a novel feature and deserving of
special commendation. In short the en-
tire performance from start to finish was
excellent, and held the closest attention
