stole Children's Possessions.

Sometimes what seems smart turns
out to be pitiably contemplate. Last
spring a woman living s216 miles west
of Hood River planted four hills of
watermelons in the garden to please the
children, and by chance there grew
thereon thirty fine melons. But before
the children had chance to enjoy any
of them some bright young gentlemen
went in the night and helped them
selves to all the best in the patch The
next morning the children contemplated
the destruction with quivering lips, and
heavy hearts. The sorrows of childhood
are just as distressing, though of diff
ferent nature, as those of their elders.
Who can measure the pleasure of an
ticipation and speculation those little
ones enjoyed while watching the melon

the increasing size of the fruit thereon

A hostile sheet recently contained the
following:
The sheepraisers who are so bitterly
denouncing President Cleveland because
the Cascade forest reserve is closed to
their hocks should bear in mind that
the bill creating the forest reserve was
passed and approved during President
Harrison's administration. That was
indeed a protection administratio to
the extent that il sought to protect the
grass in the mountains against the en-
croachments of sleeps teeth.
The act referred to, which was passed
and approved in March, 1891, merely
authorized the president to set apart GER
tain lands IN this district as forest re.
serve, using his own Judgment and dis
erection as to the boundaries. In Harri-
sons Judgment and discretion it must
have been his opinion that q forest re-
serve in Oregon was not good thing,
for he did not set apart single acre for
such purpose. It remained for his
successor, President Cleveland, to dc
that, for in September, 1898, he made
the proclamation, now so troublous, es.
tablishing the reserve and fixing the
boundaries thereof So if it was a job a
Democratic president consummated it.
Harrison did not.

illustrations. But the text is not lees
noticeable. Its arguments in behalf of
honest money are lucid and indisput-
able, and, coming as they DO from one
'of the authors prominent in the finan-
cial world, are sure to carry conviction.
One of the illustrations, an original
idea of Mr.. Cornwell's, is striking in
the extreme. The picture is that of a
beautiful girl pouring out free silver to
the people. Hold the picture up to the
light, and behold, the beautiful girl
fades away, leaving only grim skeleton,
entitled "What Free Silver Really
Means:' A scroll, grasped by the skele-
ton fingers, bears this legend: ssWe pay
Pur debts in fifty cents on the dollar and

from his ranch tells of water being a foot
deep over level field, which descended
from the heavens like a broad sheet.
The storm was attended by incessant
lightning flashes, and was in all respects

thunder storm combined. All old resi-
dents say they never saw anything like
it. The roads leading to Bridge creek
were washed out of existence and the it
became q raging torrent. The stage

WITH the number of benefit per-
formances that have been and are
to be given, there seems to be no
possibility of the people of Homo
lulu loosing their reputation as
liberal contributors to charitable
objects. We know of no better way
of obtaining funds for the needy.
The people are amused and in
structed and can go home with a
clear conscience, knowing that what
money they have paid out will be
used in a good cause.

We do need schoolhouses and
roads but there are other ways of
obtaining them without stultifying
the Republic and dragging its

that have merited such wide

is a jewel even in the Hawaiian

country today who will stand by
their colors with the same steadfast
patriotism that characterized their
action in 1898.

SPEAKING of the "dead line" in

attention to the fact that many

Chichester, England, who died re-

years old, and he exercised vigor-

AN evening paper, In attempting
to defend the officers of the Ben
nington for leaving port when the
usual courtesy would have led
them to remain, says that the ship
had slipped her cables and had to
go. Had the captain of the Ben
nington delayed a few hours in
taking up his cables" he could
have easily been present at the
Legislative functions. On the other
hand, supposing the cables had
been taken up, do the waters Of
Honolulu harbOr run so rapidly
toward the ocean that ship has
to get out to sea with the utmost
haste the moment she is let loose
from her moorings? We admit
that a poor excuse is better than
none, but our contemporary will
be obliged to have another CONVEX
saticn and trump up different
idea before the people will place
any confidence in it's explanations.
Another tale of woe concerning the
editors past experience would also
be very touching.

If our stock had been
smaller, we could have had
everything ready for an ex-
hibition on the 18TH. But it
is not; it is larger than we
dreamed of and the result is
that the shelves are not all
full, the floor is not tidied up
as it should be and the
goods are not all displayed SO
as to catch your eye. Four
days longer and everything
would have been as a row of
new pins.
The departments are here,
and even on Monday, you
will have a fair idea of what
the place will be like. But
there is one thing we will
convince you of, even with
the unsettled state of affairs
1.-The departments are de-
partmentS, every one of
them; the crockery is on the
left and the glassware on the
right, not mixed together as
you occasionally find such
things. Hardware is at the
rear on the left and cutlery
and platedware in cases at
the center of the store, not
scattered about.
You know what this means,
facility in buying, economy
of time to you, and US. Cash
carriers and accommodating
clerks prevent delays so that
if you are waiting for a car
and know what you want,
three minutes will fix the
business for you.
The stock. remember, is
complete as a whole and in
detail. On the upper floor
we have shelves and shelves
of novelties in house fur
goods, stoves, refri-
geratorS and ice boxes. An
array that would delight the
eye of the most fashionable
New York shopper; take ele-
vator at rear of store and save
steps, absolutely safe and
easy riding.
We furnish you with con-
venienceS and facilities for
buying goods at retail at
wholesale prices.

CONSISTENCY, A JEWEL.

Like the cat that came back and
the bird expelled from the hencoop,
and, after being battered about
J from pillar to post, returned to the
old roost, the opium bill has again
come before the Legislature
first Legislature of the Republic of
Hawaii. Strange as it may seem,
we find some of the men who shiv-
cred with moral terror when the
skeleton of the opium bill of 1892
was brought to their attention,
have now become so enamored with
the sylph-like, harmless appearance
of this creature of corrupt legisla-
ton that they receive it with open
arms, and clamor for the people of
the country to follow their leader
ship. The arguments they once
had ready on their tongues's end,
one lmp31-atior>- Va o--eht upor 4he
heads of<eeGtese who dareo propose
such a damaging piece of legisla-
ton, are all in the quick-forgotten
past.
A more inconsistent piece of
legislative bosh was never brought
before Legislature than the opium
bill which Senator Brown has given
notice will soon be brought before
the Senate. As a political move
on the part of men who were placed
in power by the overthrow of 1898,
the proposed opium legislation is
rotten to the core. As a measure
for the advancement of the Hawai-
ian Republic it is without one re-
deeming feature. Why should the
corrupt opium bill of the monarchy
so suddenly become a great and
glorious affair under the Republic?
1t will be interesting to read the
answer which the advocates give
this query. Ask hundred and
one men, why they shouldered
guns in 1898. We cannot vouch
for what some of these men will
say now, but in former days nine
ty-nine of this one hundred would
put forward the opium license
before they had said half dozen
words. These molly coddling pol
iticians who would seek to go back
of their former good principles
would do justice to the political
maneuvers of Belva Lockwood or a
long haired Kansas Populist. We
are told that the United States
licenses opium. Very true, but
the political parties of the United
States after once having gone be-
fore the people and gained a victory
on a similar issue, do not, at
the first opportunity, attempt to
put in motion the wheels that will
lead sooner or later to the very
corruption they were entrusted to
nut down. Where is the consistency
Of these new apostles of the opium
creed? Where are the colors of
purity and high morality that were
iaunted about with such good effect?
