THE NEW HOLIDAY.

Once at least since the change ofJan-
nary, 1893, this community has been in
complete harmony. All were brought
together by the new holiday. Interest
in the Regatta, for which the third
Saturday in September has been. set
apart, was general. All were more
than willing to join in the celebration
conducted so successfully by the Row
ing Association. The new holiday
promises to become an honored insti-
tuition. Two weeks before the day
business men and other citizens had
contributed more than the amount of
money required. On the stated day lit
tie heed was given anything else OUT
side the sports of the waterfront.
When evening came all were satisfied
There had been no serious friction and
owing to the happy selection of the

bay for the field of contests and the
absence of all charges, there was not
a whisper of grumbling. The man
ayers and members of the two active
boat clubs contributed much to the
pleasure and success of the occasion
and deserve credit along with the Re-
gatta Committee.
There is only one criticism to make.
1t applies to the base ball game as well
as to the acquatic sporting. There was
too much betting. The law against 1t
is, as all knew it would be, thorough
dead letter. Such n statute, so far
as it goes beyond pool selling and book
making, is absurd and impossible
The desired goal in this field of reform
can only be reached by working up
local sentiment and influencing those
prominently engaged in the sports. If
gambling on rowing and ball contin-
ues at the pace it now has, the result
will be extremely disastrous to both
sports. Trickery and double dealing
will follow and at the first sign of any.
thing but fair play considerable por.
ton of the Honolulu public will with
drawn their countenance from the
sports. In any light, particularly that
of past experience, this should be APP
parent to the most casual observer OF
the slowest reasoner. Regatta Day
secured to those who admire manly
contests, must not be degenerated int
an occasion for gambling.

We are selling this machine

Another article we will call

is found invaluable to those
having a large amount of corn
that requires Smelling as it saves
an immense amount of time
which can be used to much bet.

To those who are interested
in the two machines we would
ask you to call at our ware

A holiday is about the right
time to give your stomach
something to do; not the over
loading business, but some good
solid work that takes person
nearly up to the dyspepsia line
without running over.
In the selection of goods for
the table something beside
quantity is needed, often the
name of maker on a label will
sell the goods. Then again
the label on some goods will
relegate them to the garbage
heap. But we don't keep that
sort, ours are the best in every
respect.
We've some new things this
week to offer you, some things
that will 90 well at any meal,
and they are offered at prices
low enough to carry them into
the homes of every class of
our citizens.
A complete list would re-
quire more space than we have
contracted for and a partial
one will not half express it.
Take what we can give you and
draw on your imagination for
the balance:
Salmon Steaks in tins, Bos-
ton Brown Bread, Sliced
Smoked Beef, Boston Baked
Beans, Roast Chicken, Roast
Turkey, Sausage Meat, French
Mustard, Mackerel in kits,
Salmon Bellies in kits, Spanish
Olives and Chocolate Wapers.
In dried fruits we have Moor
head Apricots, Peeled Peaches,
Pitted Plums, Unpitted Cher
ries, Quarted Pears, Glen Una
Plums and Sliced Apples.

ference and his following is greater
and stronger than that of any living
man who appeals to the minds of
other men. But there is danger in the

menace. She alone has 22,000,000 of

THE TAX JUMP.

In conversation few days ago,
the tax assessor for Il district contrib
uting very largely to the internal rev
enues, made the position of himself
and his fellow assessors quite clear.
His avowed conviction was that the
new law had for its single purpose the
object of laying heavier tribute on
property owners throughout the
group. 1t is plain enough that in this
way only is the treasury of the nation
to be swelled. The next representation
of the official, in response to "A direct
question, was that the burden on some
owners, and more particularly on
those who were foremost in advancing
the material interests of the country
would be doubled. When asked if he
did not consider this too marked and
sudden an advance, the official replied
first with a shrug of the shoulders and
then the remark again touching the
intent of the new assessment law. Con
tinuing he said the assessors had
agreed upon several tests to be ap
piled i'm ascertaining the aggregate
value of an enterprise or holding and
that in view of probable court contests
would be careful and conservative. If
doubling taxes at one swoop is careful
or conservative, "A great many people
and papers have heretofore had an al
together mistaken notion on the head
of these terms. Hawaii has now
reached the stage where the fiscal
branch of the government has the en-.
tire confidence of the money factors
abroad. 1t has reached the stage
where foreign investors cease to ques-
ton the safety of life and property. II
has reached the stage where there is
no question of natural success in anV
one of half a dozen business openings.
The question arises then if the coun-
try can allow the impression to go
abroad that taxes can be doubled in
one year. \ gradual increase would
not arouse alarm. 1t is conceded that
the rates are now too low. The heav,
holders are willing to pay more, but
many of them, aside from the material
interest involved gravely question the
wisdom of the radical step that seems
to have been taken.

BY the Transit which ar
rived on tn 4th inst. we
received 100 Jewel Stoves and
Ranges, one large car load,
direct from tn factory at
Detroit.
This is our third shipment,
and we find that we have only
4 stoves left from our previous
lot.
The excellence of these
stoves has already been prov
ed by the large sale, but we
will name three points:
First. Long life from the
heavy high grade Of iron,
which is the same in the $12
stove as in the $50 range.
Second. Economy in the
use of fuel.
Third. Quick and even
bakers.
We propose leasing these
stoves on the following terms:
When the stove is deliver
ed one-third of the price is
paid in cash, and the balance
monthly thereafter in five
equal payments.
If before the expiration Of
the five months, the lessee
wishes to pay off the balance
he will be entitled to a dis.
count Of five per cent. on the
amount unpaid.
If customer wants to buy
outright, he gets five pei
cent. discount on the whole
amount.
