Too Rotten,

We received a copy of an "Ad-
dress To The Republicans OF Ida
no." in which all are asked to
support the Republican party,
and aid in defeating the Coon
spiracy." and the populists and
democrats.
Before we entertain such a
proposition, we have a few ques-
tions to ask; we are not very we'll
posted in politics, and have only
limited means Of asoertaining the
cause of the present depression,
and hope that the true blue(?)
Republicans; we mean the gold
standard McKinley-Cleveland-
wing, will pardon our inquisitive-
ness, but a lack of knowledge
and not simply curiosity, promp-
is these questions.
1st-Who has had control of
the government and all legisla-
ton, for the past 35 years?
2d-What party was in power
when "Fiat" money was issued?
Sd-Why could they not have
made the money receivable for
all dues, and thereby saved many
millions of dollars to the people?
4th-What about the Credit
Mobilier, and what was it?
5th-What necessity was there
for the "Credit Strengthening
act?
6th-Why were "Gold bearing
bonds" issued, when, if this gov
eminent is sovereign, it's paper
money, like that of the bank of
Venice, which existed for more
than six hundred years, and
whose issue was not redeemable
in coin, but was always at or
bove par, and which went down
with the republic, under the con-
quering arms of Napoleon. Why,
we--ask, did they not issue such
money, and save the interest to
the people?
7th-What was the condition
of the country when we had paper
money almost exclusively?
Sth-HaS our country been as
prosperous since, on q metal ba-
sis?
9th-What is money?
10th-If money is not created
by law, what creates it? bring on
your lawyersl
11th-Who made the 80 cent
dollar?
12th-Why does England COB
BILE up all the deprecated silver,
in our country?
13th-If Republican and Dem
ocratic legislation has been so
wise and benifcent, how is it
that there are more than three
millions of men, women and
children walking the streets,
lanes and by. ways, seeking for
that which will sustain life?
14th-Why is England SO so.

coinage?

An "Honest Money reader
stumped the Tribune with the
question, II free coinage by the
United States would be so bad a
thing, how is it that internation-
agreement for free coinage would
be so good a thing? The poor old
Trib couldn't answer. 1t did
stammer out that"People who
have given the matter considera-
ton, thought that while theUni"
ted States alone could not sustain
silver at q parity with gold in
free cosnage, all the world agree
ing might do So" The amount of
it is that ''all the world" don't
want the freedom and elasticity
of commerce and business free
coinage would give, hence they
don't wantit reached by the Uni
ted States route. But it will be,
all the same.-zxPenny Press.

COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Why cannot ladies write ads for a
ladies' bicycle? They know what in
terests them most in a wheel; they
can convey this information to others.
The Waverly Belle is the wheel to
write about most successfully. They
are handsome, light, strong and easy
running.
To make it both interesting and
profitable, we are going to make this
proposition to the ladies of Honolulu:
For the three best advertisements for
the Waverly Belle WE WILL GIVE
THE FOLLOWING PRIZES:
First Prize-$1O cash and $25 Waiver
~ Belle Coupon.
Second Prices cash and $40 Wav-
erly Belle Coupon.
Third Prize-$250 cash and SIS Wav
erly Belle Coupon.
All other ads, if used, will entitle
the writer to a SIS Waverly Belle Cou-
pom. Ads must not be over 100 words
Competition closes July 81, 1896. Cou-
pons will be good up to January 1,
1897. Ads must be written only by
ladies. Ladies who have already pur-
chased Waverly Bellies will receive the
same benefit of the coupons. if sue
cessful. And we think Waverly Belle
riders ought TO be the most success
full, because this wheel is it's own best
advertisement.
SO Waverly Bellies $85. Easy terms,
$40 per month.

Mosouito Vaccination.

Within .ke last two years family
moved FROM the city TO the country.
There were about the new place great
number of mosquitoes, and the possible
ity of an intimate acquaintance with
this insect was serious drawback to
their enjoyment of their new home. As
the mosquito season arrived there were
complaints of suffering that made night
a dread. BY some means mosquitoes
would get into the house, even though
every door and window were tightly
screened. The theory was that infant
mosquitoes crept through the wires and
grew to maturity in the apartment. AZ
all events they did their mischievous
work to the great Disagreement and dis
tress of the members of the household,
but they were located and could NOD
change their residence, n thing they
would gladly have done for this reason
alone, so serious was the trouble.
Toward the latter part of the season
it was observed that the bites, instead OF
swelling and forming blotches an inch
or so across, grew less annoying until ON
several occasions there were bites on the
hands that produced no results beyond
the immediate sting of the bite. a lit
tie notice proved the fact that several
members of the family had by some
process become practically exempt. and
the mosquito plague became but tri-
fling item of annoyance. 1t might be in
teresting to follow up this subject and
see whether the introduction of this
poison into the system has the same eff.
feet as vaccination, rendering the per-
son almost il not altogether proof
against suffering from future punctures

EXIT TEED

At the political conventicles held al
most nightly in this city the engrossing
question of municipal ownership of a
water plant supersedes all else, and the
discussion ranges about what should be
deemed an equitable consideration in
purchase of the City Water company's
plant or the independent construction
of one upon the city's own account.
The people have thoroughly awakened
to the fact that. in the past admins
trations of the local government the
City Water company, the railway com
panies, and other corporations, having
dealings with the city, have had potent
pulls with councilmen.
In proof of this fact they cite the
last contest with the City Water COM
pany when Mr.. Snyder, single handed
and alone, made an effort to secure re-
duction of fifty per cent in rates. He
was at that time opposed by Messrs
Teed and other councilmen. After
reduction in rates was made. 1t was
then that Mr. Snyder earned the vigorous
hostility of the water company which
they are now manifesting in their effort
to defeat him for the mayoralty.
Freeman G. Teed, acting president of
the council, has recently appended his
name to a document issued by the Re-
publican city committee which states,
among other things, that water can be
at one-tenth it's present cost to the
consumer. This does not comport very
we'll with Councilman Teed's hostility to
Mr.. Snyder's propos ltion to reduce the
rate fifty per cent some months ago
Then he stood manfully by the corpor-
ation's guns against what he now vir-
tually admits would have been a just
reduction in rates.
Mr. Teed has retired from politics as
with the close of the year he will seek
New York and his old Tammany asso-
Citations. This is very we'll. For ten
years Teed has been a free feeder at the
public crib and he is reported to have
overlooked nothing of value. He has
taken to Mr. lagos canny advice, go
to; put money in thy purse" as a cat
laps milk. His only present considera-
Grafton is to aid in the selection of few
Teedites, through the Republican party,
as a souvenir to Los Angeles. Los Ange-
| les parts with its Teed with as much en-
| thusiasm and as little regret as that
with which New York was rid of its
