The existing vacancy on the bench
of the Court of Claims, caused by
the death of Chief Justice Richardson,
is the subject of speculation in Wash
ington and it is thought the President
NAV possibly take the matter up this
week. The office is regarded as a
most desirable one in many respects.
1t is a position of honor and dignity,
with compensation at the rate of ST.
500 a year, runnin g through the life
of the incumbent, and a justice may
retire on full pay upon reaching the
age of seventy years, after ten years
service on the bench. The Washing
ton Star says that the belief is strong
that the President will offer the place
to either Postmaster General Wilson
or Secretary Herbert, and that the
Postmaster General is regarded as the
most probable appointee.

Value of Diamonds.

Diamonds averaging one hslfcarat
each are worth $50 per carat; three
quarters carat each, $50; one carat
each, 500; one aud one-quarter
carats each, $l10; one and one half
catats each, $l20; one and three
quarters csrats each, Sl45; two
carats each, S175.
In other words the value OF the
gem increases in the geometrical
ratio OF its weight. Four diamonds
weighing together two earats are
worth S120; but one diamond weigh
ing just as much is worth $3.50.
Stones weighing over two carats are
about the same price per carat as
two-carat stones; they should be
dearer, but they are not, simply be-
cause the demand for them is limit.

was as imperative as the demand for
beef or -four, the geometrical ratio
would again come into play, and
five-carat stones would be valued 10
the thousands.-N. Y. Times.

THE OTHER SIDE

The following extracts from a
leading American journal should be
read with advantage by that class of
aunexationists who believe that the
advent of Mckinley means annex
alton as soon as Dole a. Cooper
knock at the door of the White
House,:
"When Mr.. Foster says the Ha-
waiian Islands are unable to govern
themselves "by reason of the clash
between republicans and royalists,
natives and foreigners" he states a
truth that has been gradually fore.
ing itself upon the conviction of all
observers since the eyes OF civiliza-
tion we're turned in that direction.
The islanders want annexation as a
means, and the only means they can
see, to perpetuation. And this is
the excuse for our stepping in. If
we do not acquire them as a depen-
dency, some other strong nation will.
Infinitely better for the islands will
be our mild rule than the oppressive
exactions of monarchical govern
ments of Europe. Infinitely better
for us will be their possession than
the menace they would afford if in
an enemy's hand in time OF war.
The inability to govern themselves
is adequate evidence of their unfit
ness for statehood"
"The "close friend" of President
elect Mckinley is constantly in evil
dence. The latest discovery in re-
gard to the plans OF the coming
Chief Magistrate which has been
generously given to the public by
this ubiquitous individual is that
Mr. Mckinley will make haste slow.
ly in the matter of the annexation
OF Hawaii, and before he will advo-
cate such policy he will require
that formal request to this effect
by the Haw allan Government be
backed up by vote of the Hawaiian
people. All of which indicates fair
ness and. prudence, and gives the
restless public something to think
about, pending the development Of
events.

The Rain Storm.

We have no space to-day to detail
the ravages done by the rain storm
to roads, the railroads, or to private
property; but as this paper alone
warned the public, the first freshet
on the Nuuanu stream did, through
the incompetency of the Govern
ments employees, cause disaster,
for the stream insisted upon break
ing down the weak barriers to its
old bed and overfowed the neigh
borhood OF the site of the new street
to the great injury of many. When
the damage was done Minister King
and his staff actively endeavored to
prevent further ravages. Even the
sidewalks through the Asiatic quart
ers were filed up with coral as they
ought to have been during fine
weather.

The Advertiser, in its interview
with Mr.. B. F, Dillingham; made him
say some things that the gentleman

to say other things that need correc-

the Bank of Bishop & Co. is not
we'll defined in its relations with the
o. r. & l.. Company. No one be-
lieves for moment that the bank
is lending its prestige and credit
for the purpose OF misleading any
person, and yet its relation to the
alleged bond transactions is not
clearly stated; leaving different i'm

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

"The old year is dying, let him
die" and then we'll "ring out" the
"wild BELLS" or fire bombs and Chi
nese FIRE crackers to welcome the
new birth of 1897. As is usual the
dying year has been kind and FORUM
ate to many, and the very reverse to
many more. We have either space
nor inclination to trace the career or
events in the life of Mr.. Morbund
1896, but as it is always proper in
print to speak only good of the
dying-dead, even in politics, we
wish the old and in6rm gentleman
a pleasant time in that unknown
bourne to which he is going, and
trust that the historical fiends will
deal kindly with his demerits and
laud up his merits to their fullest
abilities.

Under the present conditions

viscous and oleaginous matters
seems quite u timely topic.
But we don't care so much
about our streets now as we do
about the commencement of the
grinding season, when every
plantation OH the Islands is an
xious to again learn that we are,
as we have been for years past,
ready to supply them from our
stock in hand of our celebrated.
COL0RADH AhD CORONADO.
brands Of oils and lubricants for
their engines, cylinders, ma
chinery, dynamos and every
thing that requires oil or lubri.
cants of any kind.
These brands are familiar to
all plantation managers and
others handling machinery, for
their very high grade and abso-
Lutte freedom from any deleter-
ious matter.
This year they are purer and
of a higher grade than ever,
and yet the price is lower. They
are of different grades and des-
criptions adaptable for all cir
cumstances.
All you have to do is to write
to us informing us of the kind
of machinery for which they
are required, and we will select
the proper oil and lubricant for
you, and guarantee to give the
same satisfaction, if not better,
as we have invariably given in
this line of goods.
