Honolulu, Sept. 10, 1896.

While in Hawaii we are safe
from those fatal heat waves that
have recently been SO disastrous
in parts Of the United States,
yet we all like to keep cool,
pleasant and happy. Now al
most the only way, or rather the
best way, is to be the fortunate
possessor of an ALASKA RE-
FRIGERATOR which we have
in different sizes and at proper
tionate prices. They are per-
fection, and beautiful pieces of
furniture.
Then there is the ALASKA
ICE CHEST, without compart-
ment, in four sizes ranging in
price from 50 to $1S. They are
q necessity in every household,
and so good and cheap as to be
purchaseable by all.
Another convenience in every
home is the GEM ICE CREAM
FREEZER, in capacity from 2
quarts upwards and at extremely
moderate prices.
We must also look after our
beautiful lawns and lovely flowers
and for this purpose we most
highly and sanguinely recon-
mend our finch RUBBER
GARDEN HOSE, which we
have in % and so feet lengths.
Come and inspect these goods
under our new management.

Any man who is under the insane
delusion that neat fence, around a
fine dwelling with we'll kept front
lawn with beautiful flowers and
shrubbery, should be demolished,
is man with something out of gear
in his upper story so far as his
artistic tastes are concerned. He is
a man who would shave off the
beautiful hair OF his wife right down
TO the skull if two or three Of his
cranky neighbors like himself, told
him she would look more becoming.
He is the kind OF man who is gem
orally bossed by the wife. A fine
house and lawn without fine fence
in front, is like fine horse without
tail. | now feel satisfied, that the
Advertiser man is hardly to be
blamed for half the stuff that he
writes. A fine fence is an ornament
aud finish to q place, which any
'demphool" ought to know.

Th Advertiser in its slobbering
over Mckinley says: "The issues Of
the campaign are clearly outlined
in McKinley's usual careful and
Straightforward STYLE" The following
from the South West, an influential
newspaper, will show that the style
of Mckinley is about as careful and
straightforward" as was the style
of Benedict Arnold:
But there is another anarchist
that we wish to call to the witness
stand to give his testimony upon
this important gold and silver
questionable Hon. William McKin-
ley. Will Mr.. Mckinley take the
witness stand2 In a speech in favor
of the Sherman bill, Mckinley said:
"We get by this bill the use OF our
entire silver product, and we make
that product into money that is safe
for use in the hands of the people,
and will be good for all time wher.
ever and by whomsoever held. Mr..
Speaker, no man should hesitate be-
tween the 100000 a month that
we have nov and the $4,500,000 a

proposed law. We get an increased
volume OF money with safety to the
Government and the citizen. Pass
this bill and what do we have? An
increase of S30,000,000 annually Of

We cannot understand why the
official organ persists in indulging in
Misrepresentation which neces sarily
must injure the country. This morn
ing's issue contains a fable about
children attending the Marquesville
school jumping windows and fences
to escape vaccination. We have
carefully Investigated the facts and
we find that the Advertiser arm is
made out OF whole cloth. The
parents OF the children attending
the school in question do not object
to the vaccination OF children when
properly done. Any decent physi-
clan ought to know enough not to
mutilate the shoulder or neck OF a
young girl. We have few educated
physicians in the country and there
are no reasons to believe that they
ever will exceed their duties. Every
one is entitled to an opinion in re-
gard to vaccination. THE INDEPEN-
DENT absolutely advises the measure
but we unhesitatingly state that it
is matter Of judgement between
pareots and their children and not
the business of school teachers and
members of Mr.. W.O. Smiths Board
of Health. What does he know
about health anyway? If the best
Government insists in doing the
paternal business, vacciaate our
children, associate them with Chi
nese and examine them la Howard
the Government will shortly be as
"best" as the proverbial Iujuu. He
is 'best" when he is dead.

Mckinley is owned body and
soul by the big trusts and mono
poles. They have put him up to
run for them, and he seems to think
that, be his principles what they may
or trample them under foot as be
may, all that he has to do is simply
TO pose and rest his case with Mark
Hanna, the boodler chief. As a mat
ter of fact he is for silver. Rap him
in the ribs and you will detect a
false ring. Scratch him little and
you will find that he is not pure
gold. You will strike silver. He is
almost solid silver just very thin
gold veneer over solid silver form.
Everybody is in favor OF the free
coinage Of both gold and silver ex-
