A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Which Reminded One Man Of "a Good
Deer Story.

b
At O'Clock last night there was a
lively runaway on Congress street. Mr..
E. f. Pride while driving down Pine
street. struck car track, wheeling the
carriage about and throwing him out.
His gloves were wet and he failed to re-
was forced to let go, his spirited hors
started for the hill, making lively time.
The street was fairly we'll filed and it
was rather remarkable that no one was
injured.
When the horse reached Preble street
in front of the station, and when the
black runaway went past the car the
carriage took zig-zaz course and struck
against the big telegraph pole and in a
second was complete wreck.
The horse continued his course up
ing any damage.
One man who was watching the runa-
way said it reminded him Of deer story.
A party of Portland people went on q
hunting trip recently and only saw one
deer and that specimen one of the party
fired both barrels at, but without sue
cess. When the rest of the excited party
came up, they said ssWhat did you fire
at?''
81 fred at deer,'' he replied.
"Where is the deer" they eagerly asked,
and he responded: ~ don't know. II
depends on circumstances. If he kept
on at the rate he was going when saw
him he's in Portland by this time"

But the 'Tiser goes further and

But the 'Tiser goes further and
inadvertently does the owners
of the Hawaiian large favor,
VIZ, advertises it extensively.
As consequence, hundreds, who
never took any particular interest
in the publication before, will
now be anxious to purchase a
copy in order to see what there is
in it to excite SO much comment.
One of the principal objects of
the publishers of newspaper,
magazine or book, is to sell u
large number of copies. The
Advertiser has created a desire
amongst the people of Honolulu
to find out why this periodical is
kapu. So everybody will pure
chase it - and learn
The little yelper Of Brito Hall
burns up the Advertiser for the
sins of the Gazette Publishing
Company, and again on account
of the long winded editorial in
which the 'Tiser scores the Ha-
waiian Magazine and gives the
Gazette Company's reasons for re-
fusing to publish that periodical.
Nevertheless, the main point is
lodged, and the fact still remains
that it was right for the Gazette
Company to refuse to print the
Hawaiian upon finding that its
pages contained immoral and in
decent features. -

WANTS A DUTY ON SUGAR.
n. T.. Oxnard Talks on the New
Revenue Bill.


OMAHA, December 25.-H. T.
Oxnard, president of the Amer
lean Beet Sugar Association, said
this evening: while Congress
is placing duty upon so many
other things why are the Amer
lean sugar producers not protect
ed? l was surprised to note the
action of the Ways and Means
Committee in neglecting this fea-
ture. American sugar is pro-
duced in the United States by
rivals of the trust. The American
producers are struggling for ex-
istence and an increased duty on
raw sugar is the only practical
method of stimulating the indus
try in the United States.
THE duty on refined sugar
helps the great sugar trust, but
the duty on the raw article assists
the producers of the country gen.
orally, and indirectly the great
agricultural interests. A duty of
Is per cent. on both raw and re-
fined would help the America n
beet sugar producers without
benefiting the trust, since the
trust must purchase its raw mate
rial abroad. The danger is that
the Ways and Means Committee,
in ignorance Of the true situation,
will fatally cripple the rapidly
growing industry of beet sugar
manufactured in the United
States. The West is vitality in
terested in this subject"

What is to be done with the re-
aaptured opium from Victoria :?
Dnconsistently shipped away and
sold again in countries that do
not regard all traffic in it as a
rhine the same way as Hawaii
Hoes 1t is said the stuff is trash
rs opium goes, and it therefore
looks like swindle to foist it on
consumers elsewhere through
lpscrupnlous purveyors at any
price. Let the whole lot and all
other seized stocks of the stuff be
burned. This country makes all
d has a moral right to out of the
prohibited article by fines upon
as dealers and possesaors.

Trade Benefits ora Pacific Cable.

San Francisco is earnestly en-

its trade with Australia The best
possibleI method of doing that
would be to first urge the laying
of a cable from some point on the

cable) is not cheap, but would be
found useful in trade way, and
would immediately result in an
increase in trade. - San Diego

RELOADING OUTFITS, AM

Christmas is over but there
are plenty of ducks and turkeys
flying about the ponds, marsh
es and woods Of these islands,
and there are plenty of hunters
who will take advantage of
the numerous holidays between
now and Washington's birth
day to try and get a shot at
them. To insure a good bag
of game on one of these trips,
the hunter must have a good
gun, good ammunition and
good dogs. The Hawaiian
Hardware Company will fit
you out with a gun and am
munition and if you haven't
got a good dog why you can
borrow one. We make a spe-
cialty of reloading outfits,
shells and ammunition of

your property. We have a

The restoration of the McKin-
ley tariff on wool, il it reduces the
importations from Australia, will
injure the business of the two
American steamships on the Pa
cific route, as they have been car
rying large quantities of wool on
every homeward trip lately. Not
withstanding concessions to
wooden manufacturers in the
tariff, it is doubtful if they will
not be injured more than the
American wooI.growers will be
helped. But the avowed object
of the restoration of McKinleyism
being to increase the revenue, the
interests of either wool grow
ers or manufacturers may per-
haps cut no figure in the case.
