IT HAS BEEN REMARKED

T HAS BEEN REMARKED
= by visitors that for variety
of goods, quality and style, the
shops of Honolulu compare
favorably with those in the
largest cities in the United
States. These remarks are not
strange to us because we are
familiar with the needs of the
people, we know that their
tastes are the same as other
people, though they are to a
degree isolated from the rest
of the world. But they are
reading people and they are
apt scholars; they have the
same amount of ability to
copy the ideas of others or
create new ones as the ladies
of New York or Boston. TO
cater to the tastes of the
different people here requires
tact, ability and coin; in the
selection of goods, both as to
design, quality and price, all
of the business qualifications
of man are brought into play.
If we did not exercise it in
our corner of the mercantile
world how could we offer all
shades of genuine woolen
goods, not shoddy, but ,0oOien
at fifty cents a yard, when
every other dealer in Homo
lulu sells the identical goods
for seventy-fve cents and a
dollar. Nor do we cOnfine
ourselves to a single shade
we have them in endless va
riety.
The same may be said of
our stock of all-wool flannels.
Who ever heard of them going
for less than fifty cents u yard.
They bring that because they
are worth it to any one who
wants them, but we let them
90 to you at thirty-fve cents
a yard, or three yards for a
dollar. You can't realize it
but we can prove it to you as
easy as we can show you the
largest and handsomeSt collec-
tion of white goods of every
description ever shown in
Honolulu.
The goods are here and the
wearing qualities are guaran-
teed; we are ashamed to men,
tion the prices out of consider
alton of the feelings of our
rivals; they're low enough of
that you may be assured.
A drive in shoes interests
every one-our stock includes
all sorts and conditions for
men, women and children,
and to go with the shoes we
have a wonderful collection
of hosiery for ladies.

EDITOR TAToM, of the Knoxville
Tribune, in speaking of the Legis-
lators, writes his papers as follows
about Our Own E. Dudley Duncan:
"Among the most intelligent, best
natured and cheerful Republicans'in
the House is the great heel-and toe
walker from the county of Washing
ton, e. Dudley Duncan, lineal de-
scendaut of the good old king whom
Mr.. Macbeth deprived OF life some
years ago. E. Dudley can talk as well
as walk; he can also write, and as
soon as he can acquire the habit OF
thinking he may be expected to walk
out of The Republican party. He is
said to be pregnant with novel, but
this is probably one of the many vile
ISLANDERS that have been circulated
against him by the venal Democratic
press, There are number of other
Republicans IN the House, but they
shall not be exposed here"

SECRETARY HoKE SMITH de-
cided some time ago that the Inte-
rior department was paying the
Bell telephone monopoly entirely
too much money for the telephones
in use between the main depart
ment building and its branches, the
Geological Survey, the Bureau of
Ethnology, the Pension Bureau,
the Census office, the bureau Of
Education and several others. The
telephone company refused to re-
ouce its charges and Secretary
Smith has made contract with
other parties for the erection of a
telephone line which will belong
to the government and will save a
considerable sum of money, as
there will be no charges to pay af-
ter the line is up except for its
being kept in repair. The Bel
Telephone Company is threatening
legal complications.

THE naval appropriation bill,
which has been reported to the
House, carries, in accordance with
Secretary Hcrberts recommends
tons, $I2 100000 for the construc-
ton Of three coast line battle ships;
also provision for the construction
of twelve torpedo boats of from 100
to 300 tons each. The bill provides
that one of the battle ships and
three Of the torpedo boats shall be
built upon the Pacific coast or in
adjacent waters, if it can be done
at a fair cost; abolishes speed pre-
NUNS, and says that one of the
battle ships shall be named Kear-
sage. When the proposition to
build these battle ships was first
made many Congressman were dis
posed to oppose it on account of
the slim condition OF the Treasury,
but upon consideration of the fact
that the largest part of the money
for them will be paid for labor, thus
giving needed employment to many,
the most of them have withdrawn
their opposition, and it is now re-
garded as certain that the bill will
go through practically as reported
