Liberated.

The political prisoners to whom
pardon has been granted, were re-
leased yesterday, Major Potter and
Marshal Brown read the pardons,
and the latter made short address
to the liberated men, The boys hur-
ried up getting rid of their stripes"
and donning their civilian suits, and
then they hied themselves to their
respective homes, where they we're
warmly welcomed and embraced by
their families. Most of them have
lost flesh and several of them were
disguised by big growth of whis-
kers. Carl Widemann looked very
picturesque with black full beard,
and appeared as if he just had come
off the stage The ex-Queen was also
given her freedom and left for
Washington Place in the evening.
She looks we'll although her health
was somewhat impaired owing to
lack of exercise. The political pri-
soners at Hilo will receive their par
dons at the earliest opportunity and
be returned to their homes.

A New Branch.

l.. B. Kerr with the energy for
which he is known in the comn,u-
nifty has added new branch to his
extensive business, by importing a
number of the famous New England
Pianos, for which he is the sole
agent in Hawaii. Mr.. Kerr has
placed one instrument or exhibit
tion at his salesrooms on Queen
street, and it is well worth while for
intending purchasers and for all
conversant with piano, to call
around and inspect the magnificent
cabinet grand which is exhibited.
Besides the beautiful and artistic
exterior we would like to call spe-
cial attention to the great volume
of tone, the refined purity and
sweetness, and extraordinary sing
ing quality of the New England
Piano. The absolute durability and
faultless finish of this instrument
are guaranteed. Mr.. Kerr offers
these pianos at very reasonable
figure for cash, and is also willing
to dispose of them on the install
ment plan to approved parties.

impractical aud impossible under
the regulations OF the Board OF

money subscribed can believe for a
moment that a "crowd' will be

tempted, a policeman will stop the
performance and the stew without
delay. The possibility of general
quarantine for week will prevent
the Hawaiians from coming to town
and the hash house plan will be
frustrated. If the ladies will listen
TO common sense let them consult
persons whose duties bring them in

who know those who are in want,

Captain Robert Parker and other
police officers are the proper per-
sons to decide where help is wanted.
The hash house business may work
in large cities in times Of emergen-

quarters. A single soup house in
the center of Honolulu will never
work even if it wasn't absolutely

the Board Of Health by possibly be-
coming a centre and distributing

Sans SOuci.

The most lovely spot ON Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen OF Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach Of the tramcars.
The surroundings aud bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
lslands. Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other ho-
tells. For picnics, bathing parties
and outings the best accommodation
can be secured by giving notice to
the manager.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

At the meeting of the Board of
Health yesterday it is reported that
Mr.. G. l.. Wight made the following
remarkable statement:
"People with telephones are usu-
ally intelligent, and an inspection of
their premises would be hardly
necessary. Those without tele-
phones should be inspected"
1t is difficult to believe that Mr..
Wight really said that, but there it
is in the Advertiser report. If he
did, all we can say is that he needs
telephone very badly-if that will
result in making him intelligent
1t would also appear that if tele-
phones are the test of intelligence
the amalgamation of the two tele-
phone companies must have result
ed in loss of intelligence to Homo.
lulu by the number Of telephones
discontinued, and probably accounts
for the lack of intelligence with
which we treat the cholera.

Honolulu, Aug. GO, 1895.

The boys are getting ready for
the regatta which will take place
next month at Pearl Harbor. 1t
will be one of the finest races
ever seen in Honolulu. Every
body in fact is racing now. The
boat clubs are racing. Horses
for the Waianae meeting are in
training to race. The disin-
fectors are racing the comma
bacillus. People all over the
country are raising h allelujah
on account of cholera, fumiga-
tion, quarantine and no quaran-
tine. The "Claudine" is to race
the "Monowai" and advance re-
ports of our cholera. And the
bikers in town are getting their
wheels ready to race away from
the whole business.
And it is to the same bikers
that we want to talk to-day.
We have got the best racing
wheel manufactured in the
United States. The TRIBUNE
CYCLE has gained a reputation
not enjoyed by any other racing
cycle. The numerous good qua
lities of this light, elegant,
though solid wheel, have re-
eeived the highest praise from
everybody competent of judging
Of the good points of the fin de
steele racer.
The Tribune Wheel is built
by the Black Manufacturing Co.,
at Erie, Penn, and it has given
universal satisfaction to the
riders who have tried it during
the last years. Some very valu-
able improvements have been
added to the original Tribune
Cycle.
The Cycloidal Sprocket has
met an enthusiastic approval
from all connoisseurs. There is
no additional friction with the
Cycloidal Sprocket, no matter
how great the power applied, the
chain simply pulls direct and
squarely Oh the face of the teeth
and the power is freely impaired
to the wheel. This is the rea-
son that the Tribune Bicycles
have earned a reputation for
their smooth and easy running.
We have sold number of the
Tribunes in town, mostly racers;
and we advise the boys who
want to enter the races, now con-
templated, to secure one of these
superior wheels. The Tribune
Racer weighs only eighteen (1S)
pounds, and the depth of frame
is "a or 264 inches. 1t is the
fastest and easiest running ma
chine in the market and its ad-
vantages in sprinting are be-
yond all question. Racing men
who have tried it once cannot
be induced TO ride without it.
We invite the cyclers of the
town to call in and inspect the
machine which we offer with "a
complete outfit at very reason
able figure. If you want to be a
winner ride the Tribune.

w. N. Armstrong is getting more
Asiatically inclined than ever. He
wants our next 4th of July services
to have the Grafton on the merits
or demerits-of Chinese and Japa-
nese. Also, if his suggestions as to
the sanitation of the city by means
of vaults and peat moss is adopted,
he states, "If the system was pro-
perly introduced by the Government,
so that it was understood, some com
pany, certainly some Chinese COM
pany would undertake to construct
vaults, and remove the contents"
And this is the man who got the
secretary OF the Labor Commission
to write much lengthy reports on
the benefit of the introduction of
the American farmer, and who has
w. r. Castle lecturing in the States
on the same subject, and who perio-
ideally howls in the columns OF the

Mrs. E. M. Nakuina writes a very
spirited letter on the prevalent idea
amongst native Hawaiians, that the
medicine given them by the foreign
doctors to cure the cholera is poison
GUS, and intended to kill the patient.
We are glad to corroborate her
statement that it is not so. Also
we feel proud to think that, as she
states, no Hawaiian would ever ac-
cuse us Of aiding such a diabolical
project as poisoning Hawaiians.
We advise every native to take such
medicine as is prescribed by regu-
lar physician and to at once report
every case so that the medicine may
have time to act.

A correspondent from the other

how the Board of Education feeds

A correspondent asks US if any OF
the Protestant ministers have offer
cd their services at the cholera hos
pital following the example OF Fa-
ther Valentine. AS far as we have
been able to learn the worthy pas
tors of the Puritans remain at home
and confne themselves to do any
amount of praying for the stamping
out OF the disease. Should Father
Hyde or Father Serene desire to en-
ter the hospital and administer COM
fort to the dying Hawaiians we have
no doubt that they will be permit
ted to do so, and we shall immedi-
ately inform our correspondent
when such anxiety breaks loose.
Some of our Christian laymen, like
Jones and Judd, may even feel call
ed on to do the act of the Good
Samaritan, but we believe they pre-
fer to contribute cash rather than
risk their skins. Their pretended
love for Hawaiians is only skin deep.
Father Valentines comes from the
heart.

Justice to Cleveland.

Every unprejudiced person must
acknowledge that Mr. Cleveland has
been unfairly treated by portion
of his own party. When he entered
on his second term of office all of the
law making powers of the govern
ment were in Democratic hands, and
he had reason to expect that be
would be supported in Democratic
measures by all who had been elected
on the same platform as himself.
When he found that the treasury
was being depleted of it's gold and
that even bankruptcy was imminent,
from causes over which he had no
control and for which he was no way
responsible, he appealed for aid, but
that august body refused this aid in
the country's greatest emergency.
But here President Cleveland showed
his self reliance and 6rmness, as
General jackson was wont to do, by
taking the matter into his own hands
and saving the honor and credit of
the country by his own actions. By
a judicious financial arrangement he
checked the depletion of the gold in
the treasury to its last dollar, and
so adjusted the matter that the gold
balance has risen above the amount
required by law.
LET US then in our day do this
man simple justice, for the time will
come, after the rancor of politics
has subsidized and after Mr.. Cleve-
land shall have become unavailable
for further political honors. that he
will be looked back upon as the
safe, honest President, who would
not be induced by the promise of
temporary support to act contrary
to what his conscience and good
sense told him was right. "-Hart-
ford Dispatch

of brilliant attachments and has the
confidence and esteem of all who
know him, while his bride is not on

well one of our most popular girls.
The bride and groom went to Mount

them for long, prosperous and hap

years a teacher in the Public Schools
of Morgantown and by her gentle
manners won the love of the children.
She will be greatly missed from Nor

she will win for herself in her new
home the same enviable position that
she held here in social circles.

A Great Change.

When the last Congress adjourned
there was not one Virginia Democrat
out of a hundred-you might say
thousand-who had the slightest
hope of electing Democratic Presi-
dent in 1896. Now there's not one
out of a hundred who doesn't hope
to elect him. The times have i'm
proved, the tariff is working well; the
President has kept the ship steady
and gotten more ballast in the Treas
ury, there is more skilled employ
ment all over the country, wages
that shrunk so in the hard times are
being raised everywhere, common
labor is finding work, wool under the
new tariff has about doubled its,
price, wheat is twenty cents better
than it was this time last year, beef
holds its price well-all things are
better. All This compared with last
year Compare next year with this,
next July, and the change will be
still more marked-there won't be
peg to hang hard times complaint
on, anywhere. And then the Demo
Gratis will be as keen as greyhounds
for victory in the Presidential race.

The charter for the Farmers and

was issued July 2lst, by the Secre-
tary of State, Capital $4,000, with
privilege to increase it to 100000
There are about so stockholders
everyone of whom are residents OF
Monongalia county being leading
business men and farmers with large
oil interests. This bank starts off
with more incorporators than any
bank that has ever been incorpor-
ated in West Virginia. A general
meeting of the Stock Holders is
called for August oath; at the Court
House. The new three story stone
front building to be occupied by the
bank is in course of erection and
everything points to it's success.
The success of the organization OF
the bank is largely due to the efforts
of Geo. c. Baker, Esq, who solicited
stock and showed his usual hustling
qualities in everything he takes
hold of.
