HILO BAND,

Anarchy Of varioloid type has de-
veioped up Hilo way. The attorney
general here, after consulting with
the Cabinet refused permit for a
band at the Hawaii capital 70 give
Sunday concerts. Tbs was on the
ground that the organization was not
under direct Government control the
same as the band in Honolulu. A good
part of Hilo backs the band there and
it's first couc, rt, in deiiinca of the
attorney generals ruling, was to have
been given yesterday. Both ncws-
papers of Ifilo advocate AMI sustain
the step. Tnis is perh apps Il small mat
ter, but it the hcginEily Of bad bus
mess.
There may be fault on both sides.
Hilo is changing so rapidly that the
officials here may not be in as close
touch as of old with the people there.
Again, it would perhaps have been
very easy to have placed the law
breaking band under the control of
the government at least for Sunday
concert purposes. Finally, the point
made by the attorney general, while
entirely sound, is perhaps tritle too
fine for large number of the average
laymen. They fail to understand the
concrete proposition that Sunday con-
certs may he given in honolulu and
not in Hilo. There should be no SER
ious trouble over this matter, but the
town of Hilo must be as amenable tC
"A ruling of the attorney general as
would be the smallest settlement on
the Islands.

The National Democrats are to be
taken to task for adopting the name
the indianapolis Sound Money" con-
vention proposes to use. 1t is main
tanned that the Chicago gathering
was regular in every respect and alone
is entitled to the old and recognized
name. This seems right. The Bryan
party is making a mistake in raising
a row about it. AS some of them say.
the Sound Money" ticket will get
only such votes as would otherwise go
TO Mckinley and from a practical
standpoint is not worth fighting.

AN ANALYSIS.

New York Mail and EXpress.)
1t is said that Cleveland's policy lost
us the Sandwich Islands. We might
have had them and they are adjoining
and within reach of so much of our
outlying territory that the necessity
of their possession Is apparent. Sym
pathy with England is one cause as
cribed for Clevelands action of mac
ton; another, is jealousy of the fact
that it was Harrison's policy to ac-
quire them. England reaches out and
acquires all possible coigns of vantage
on every side of us. In London, thou
sands of miles away, she studies our
own situation closer than we do. No
possible advantage of situation in
either ocean or land around us or near
our territory is allowed to escape their
notice and action. Is it not time that
we had statesmen with eyes open to
the situation in the interests of the
protection and advancement of this
country and its people?

Hawaii is said to be in the tropics
and for vegetation holds the title,
name or reputation. But the sun does
MT boil and destroy and beat down
here like it does in the temperate zone
cities of the United States. The stories
from St. Louis and Chicago are APP
palling, with New Iork's annual
record yet to be made. If data from
the Islands is properly placed, Hawaii
will become known as both a summer
and winter resort.

In BOnny Scotland.

Pressing business engagements make
it highly important that our tourist
should catch the 6 O'Clock train for the
south on Monday morning. Boots was
interviewed on Sunday night, a hansel
administered, perhaps incautiously, and
a solemn promise received of an early
call. Next morning the tourist awoke
of his own accord, at half past z, and
aroused the boots, who listened to the
torrent of anger that was poured upon
him in mild surprise. SCOT bless me,
sir, you was not so bad at all The man
in the next room to you was to catch the

Ripans
TabuleS

Mr.. L. A. Rocher is farmer re-
siding about three miles out of
Colon, n. C. His home is some
what in the back woods. In an
interview with Mr.. S. 7. Godfrey,
a correspondent of the Telegram
and Sunday Times, Mr.. Rocher
on the 18th of June, 1895, said:
II am 81 years of age, and until
l was nigh onto fifty years old,
1 was always well and peart,
then for long while and until
last February, I suffered with
indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My
daughter, who lives in the city,
sent me some of Ripans Tabules,
told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. My wife is now troubled
with the same complaint, and
has written daughter to send
some more of Mr.. Ripan's med
icine. l want you to tell every
body how l got cured, for it is
blessing to humanity.

Weyler's letter to the New York
Herald has the elements of brutal
humor and the sad strain or wall of
distressed commander. He says
that instead of calling for truce he
has simply announced that rebels who
surrender with arms will be pardoned.
This is the usual custom in even half
civilized warfare. The inference is
that the Spaniards have heretofore
been ruthlessly numbering men who
have surrendered from the ranks of
the insurgents.

The Demand For Mother of Pearl.

Considering the vast values in gem
pearls obtained from the eastern fisher
les, it is surprising to find that the
plain, unromantic mother of pearl Sc
cured is of even greater worth. Previous
to the discovery of the extensive Aus
tralian fishing grounds, in 1865, the
supply of mother of pearl was diminish
ing while the demand was increasing.
The large shelled species already men
tened are there found in fine quality.
The shells are the size of large soup
plates, weigh a pound each and are
worth about II dollar pair. An expert
diver, in diving dress will collect SOC
or 400 pairs in day About 100 gem
pearls are found i'll every ton of these
shells. Popular Science Monthly.
