that will tend to cast any reflection
upon our credit Every obligation on
every bond this Government has ever
issued has been met without whimper.
Not one cent has ever been repudiated.
Why, then, should a government with
such a record behind it pander to the
suspicious of outside parties by allow
ing large discounts and commissions?
There are men within the country ready
with money to invest in Hawaiian
bonds. The Government is not in a po-
sition to grant the possibility of
doubt in connection with its credit.
If foreign syndfcates don't know a good
investment when they see it, let them
take the cons quences, and let Ha-
waiian citizens who have money reap
the benefit.
We cannot agree, however, that it is
best for this country to let the consoIi-
dation question severely alone on &C
count of the probability of annexation,
and the consequent increase in value
of the bonds. The best way u hasten
annexation day is to follow an aggres-
sive internal policy and strengthen our
financial policy in every manner pos
sible. If the Government can diminish
the rate 0 Interest on its bonded in
it has gained a point by de-
creasing its liabilities that will have
a beneficial effect in the consideration
Of the annexation problem.
Let the consolidation of the loan be
consummated, but keep the deal within
Hawaii or the United States. Entertain
no suggestion of questionable credit
there is no necessity for it.

If this season is not good
for the milliners, the dress
makers or the man who
wears white clothes it's good
for the people in other lines.
And if it was pleasant
weather all the time, no rain,
no cool winds, nothing but
dust, the dealer in some lines
would have to close up
shop.
This is wire mat weather;
the sort that makes the man
who handles reliable steel
wire mats rejoice. Ours is
the mat and we are rejoicing.
First: because we were for
tunate in securing the best
steel mat manufactured, and
secondly: because it is just
the sort Of weather that
makes a demand for the
goods.
This mat of ours will not
turn up on the edges and be-
come unsightIy; it may be-
stood on edge, folded up like
a paper basket, when the
Veranda is being swept and
It will never wear out. Other
makes of mats will; they
have been tried here and
found wanting in many res
poets. The kind we have
will always hold their shape.
Price less than the COM
mon sort.

Salary.

Tho Woman's Club held its private
meeting yesterday afternoon in the club
mouse, avenue. The special com
miltee appointed to amend the constitu-
ton again put the amended articles be-
fore the club. All amendments we're ac-
eepted. They provide that thirty shall
constitute a quorum; that the chairman
OF each committee and the officers of the
club shall form an Executive Board,
and that a member who is absent three
times from a committee meeting with
out sufficient excuse shall be dropped
from the rofl of that COMMITTEES.
Miss Gaines then said that 1t was time
TO think about the quarters Of the club
Tor the ensuing year. There were three
things which might be done, she said,
one to have no clubhouse, but to hire
rooms for the club meeting and LET the
committees meet at The members. houses;
TO hire a clubhouse similar to the one
used this year, or to build a clubhouse.
At this a suppressed laugh was heard,
for 1t seemed rather ambitious, but Miss
Galnes calmly proceeded 10 tell the club
IL was not so Impossible a plan as it
seemed. Ground might be bongnr by the
club on shares and a building erected by
a building and loan association or some
similar plan. The discussion OF that
was waived for a time, as 1t would lie
necessary to have a house for the com
ing year, whether the club built one or
NOT. A committee of seven was appoint
ed to find a suitable house. and one in
q location convenient to the Exchange.

Gaines; three ladies from the Exchange.

teams engaged in one of the greatest
matches of the local league on the Clir-
ton Hall alleys. 1t was a contest in which
both teams gave a star performance and
wound up with a finish in the first game

a game of see-saw from the beginning

the lead and held it for three frames,
We're forced to play second fddle for the
the seventh and kept the place until the
LAST pail turned apparent victory into de-

rolled by Union this year. ana the loss
caused them to lose heart, and they were
badly beaten in the second. Taber was
within n pin of the highest record.
