fo~rts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO II constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That Is why Il Is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co.. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, n
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but il in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

THE manner in which Dan Stuart out
witted the Mexican authorities shows him
to possess rather clever managerial abil-
ity. 1t is clear now that it was never in
tended to have the fight take place in
New Mexico and that the play at Ell Paso
was all blind to excite the Chihuahua
government, while the governor of Goa
hula rested in blissful ignorance of what
was going on in his jurisdiction. The
result of the fight must have proved a
great disappointment to the kinestocope
people; almost as much as it was to
Maher. Nor was it much of victory for

now ranks as the worlds champion pug,
and Col. Corbett may as we'll get ready to

lent. A gentleman who has tried it says
it is equal to rice or oatmeal when served
with milk or when ground makes excel
lent bread. Its cultivation has been at
tended by such splendid results in the
arid districts of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Colorado that it can not but become a
popular and profitable crop for New

JOHN SHERMANs idea that Uncle Sans
promise to pay is of no account unless

treasury has cost the taxpayers of the

Clews with the solemn assurance that the

"after allowing for the Withdrawals of

comforting no doubt to the Wall street

The Philadelphia American, Repub-
lican, is not at all hopeful about the new
states. The American is bimetallic ad-
vocate, and unlike Speaker Reed it has no
OBJ ection to New Mexico's admission on
the score of silver, but gravely points to
"the preponderance Of Spanish blood" in
the territory as one of the reasons why
statehood will be withheld by the present
congress. There need be no further ex-
PLANTATION on account of failure in this
matter. Everybody quite understands
that one excuse is as good as another for
a Republican congress when New England
says "no.'

CONSIDERING all the circumstances,
probably Delegate Carron had best lay
aside the statehood proposition, leaving
it to Democratic congress, and devote
his talents to that new supreme court bill
and the repeal of the alien northwest

soon and as yet our representative of
"brains and energy" has only the anti
prize fight law to his credit.

Nothing published by The Star for
many months-yes, even since its first
number-has afforded the paper $50
much pleasure and satisfaction as the
message from Mr.. Hatch to Cecil
Brown, given a prominent place in
yesterday issue. 1t has had an effect
in the community, too. Comment has
been very general The Annexation
lists are overioyed. The luke-warm
have become enthusiastic. The doubt
full and the antagonistic have become
thoughtful-and careful weighing Of
the issue by an impartial mind can
have but one ending. The conclusion
must inevitably be reached that the
goal is fairly in sight at last. An orig
inal, single utterance by Francis NJ.
Hatch would be ample surety for a
majority of the citizens of Hawaii.
His most rabd political opponents
have confidence to the limit in his in
tegrity, his ability, his power of dis
cernment, his thoroughness and de-
votion and honesty brought to a
given task; and finally his calm, cool
calculating planning and Judgment
But there are further and very strong
and pronounced indications-ass
ances-that the thing will gC
through with the new adminstra
ton" The American newspapers ant
the American people and the great
political party to take the reins of gov
eminent in Washington next year are
all in favor of annexation. 1t has be
come national consideration and pol
icy in the United States and when ,
proposal reaches that stage over there
the journey is forward. The duty o
the people here is to go on unrelent
inglv with the campaign. Strengthen

stitution. For the negotiations thu

Government and the Government o

AS Mr.. Rudolph Herring, the visiting
municipal engineer is understood, he
does not favor mechanical filtration Of
city water supplies. He further gives
the impression that such treatment or
method has not been recommended by
professional men or experts or found
satisfactory where tried. This was
precisely the opinion put forth by The
Star when the subject was before the
National Board of Health nearly a year
ago. At that time the paper was
taken to task on the charge that il
was opposing filtration. Nothing of the
sort. Convictions based on observn-
tions and research were given and are
now confirmed right here. The Board
of Health knows full well whether or
no ii is necessary to have the water
for domestic consumption purified by
proper treatment. Their decision on
that question is final, is the law. As
to method, laymen should have some
voice. The Star therefore urges again
that the sandbed system has been
found to he the best and cheapest.

The Government at Washington by
keeping an eagle eye on flibustering
expeditions and projects and descend
ing at every opportunity with the iron
rod of discouragement and chastise-
ment upon violators of neutrality reg
ulations has done more real, effective
and resultful work in the direction of
putting down the Cuban rebellion
than has Spain herself. The big pow
er in evidence and principal action in
this disturbance and war has shown
bad spirit and an utter incapacity
that would warrant the interference
of the United States. Hawaii's sym
pathy goes out to the Cuban patriots
for the prime reason that theirs is n
great and holy cause and again be-
cause the Independence of the Island
means gigantic stride in the direc-
ton of its entrance into the American
Union. Advocacy of the cause of
Cuba is practically endorsement of the
principle or idea of annexation adj
vanced by the Government of Hawaii
and its supporters.

MORE O., SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
(IIilo Herald.)

NllllO htIdl'')
Among the most pressing needs of
the Island of Hawaii today there is
none more keenly felt than the want
of improved and increased facilities
for public education. The public
school, especially in some of the out
lying. districts has been shamefully
neglected. In many places are to be
found numbers of children of school
age who are deprived of the benefits
of the public school system, either on
account of the overcrowded condition
of the present accommodations or the
entire absence of any place of public
instruction. The district of Puma is
especially unfortunate in this respect.
The buildings for schools at the pres
ent time are in i'll repair, are entirely
too few in number and small in ca
pacity for the present and constantly
growing demands. Expensive build
ings are unnecessary and not asked
for, but the people of that district
should be provided with more school
facilities than they have at the pres
ent day.

The South Carolina dispensary law,

Chas. L. Carter was one of the leading
sideration of the system for Hawaii.

There are many kinds of cut
glass sold, and, to the ordinary
purchaser, one make is as good
as another, The value of the
pieces depends, of course, on
the cutting. If the edges are
sharp you may depend upon it
that the quality is good.
Among all the makes of cut
glass in the United States but
one firm sells enough to war
rant their having a ware room
in New York. Everyone in
the States knows which firm
that is-Dorfinger. In the
large cities, from Boston south
to Richmond and west to
Denver, the purchaser puts
but one cut glass question to a
salesman: 'Is it DorA nger's!'
The make is so well known
that the name sells it. Our
stock in this line is entirely
from the Dorhinger factory.
Other dealers think it is the
best, the buyers think it the
best, then why should not we!
Other makes may be as good;
they are certainly no better.
Cut glass has been looked
upon as essentially a luxury of
the wealthy class, but our cut
glass at cut prices-both cut
makes it possible for the
middle class to own pieces OF
various sizes and shapes.
We have also a desire to
call your attention to a stock
of silverware-genuine sterl.

thing of the kind ever showr
