The Pay Roll.

To-day lis The Government pay
day. We humbly suggest to the
economic Minister OF Finance that
this would be a proper time to place
some OF our absentee officials on
half pay. The Collector General
has now drawn his handsome salary
for over five months while his de-
putty doing his work. OF course il
he has been kidnapped or otherwise
is lost, strsyed or stolen the Govern
ment might come to his assistance.
But il he has come to grief abroad
the tax payers, who foot his bills are
certainly entitled to know it. Min
lister Cooper, who travels from pa
triotism pure and simple will, OF
course, be only too glad to surrender
half OF his salary while visiting
Masonic Lodges and getting free
grub from "brothers." An official
in Honolulu has not been near his
Office we are told during the past
six months. His ample salary goes
on all the same. The "best" govern
ment ought certainly not to allow
such a waste Of public moneys. 1t
seems by the way that number of
our high paid official can be dis
pensed with at an advantage. Their
deputies are apparently amply capa-
BILE of performing the work Of the
different Offices at a small pay. 1t
is time that the machinery of the
Great Eastern was taken out OF the
Hawaiian sardine box.

Our prices for dried and eva
porated Fruits are lower con-
sidering the quality than is
usually asked. We are careful
to select the best, buying only
from the manufacturers agent,
thereby saving a middleman's
profit and giving our customers
the benefit of it. We find it
gives satisfaction to get the best
and our method of buying en-
ables us to sell the best quality
at the same price as is usually
charged for inferior goods. Here
is a list of these goods: Apples,
Apricots, Peaches, peeled and

Currants, Dates, Smyrna and

that we have one of the neatest
spice castors you could possibly
desire. There are six little
bronzed colored tins in tray
box SO simply arranged that you
can at glance pick out the spice
you require; and all this for 25
cents.
We are now catering in a cer-
tain line of goods, for those who
cannot afford to increase their
expenses. For the wealthy we

The only argument now advanced
in favor OF annexation Is the itflux
of unlimited Oriental labor which,
we are told, eventually will terminate
in Hawaii becoming Japanese
colony. That sounds very fine at
this end OF the line, and it would
sound better yet, If further importa-
tions of asiatics we're stopped at
least pending our alleged annexation
negotiations. 1t will look decidedly
absurd at the other end OF the line
to receive petitions and commissions
from Hawaii praying for annexation
because the petitioners fear the
power of Japan while at the same
time the planters are weekly If not
daily flooding our shores with coolies.

the fact that he was not here when
the Annexation Club was making its
running. He was too modest to say
that he was at that time running the

note that he had nothing to say
