The last congress had added the COM

coinage weights and measures TO the

that much time is lost in studying

HILo JOURNALISM.

IL rs HdJI6T Oh record UnaJ inc
directors of the Hilo Tribune have
driven its editor from his chair
because he "sassed" the Govern
ment and denounced the visit of
the band as, virtually, a bride to
induce the Hawaii delegation to
support fuss, feathers and fam
faronade. Therefore, it is to be pre-
sumed that over the issue sue
ceeding that in which the editor
committed his offense the direc-
tors would have exercised Judi
cious control. That they should
guard against any repetition of
the offense-especially, if they
contributed or vised the political
articles themselves was the least
that should have been expected.
Yet we find the latest issue of the
Tribune, that in which the offend
ing editor pronounces his plaintive
valedictory, uttering sentiments of
an approximately seditious char
acter. Indeed, it outherods Herod
IN contemptuous expressions to-
ward the Republic. Referring to
the report published in the Unit
ed States, that Hawaii was liable
to secede from the Republic, the
Tribune says:
Secession from whatP Is there
anything or anybody to stop the
people upon Hawaii from setting
up a Government of their own if
they want to? Honolulu did not
ask Hawaii when they overthrow
the Monarchy and established a
Republic, and as many people and
as much property was in Hawaii
as Oahu then, and why should
Hawaii ask Oahu or Honolulu if
it wants to set up housekeeping on
its own account, or the people of
Maui or Kauai. To secede there
must first be a union, something
to secede from. The entire Gov
eminent of the Republic of Ha-
waii is constituted from Honolulu
men, they still could have a
Republic and probably could
manage its Government, they have
so far, without Hawaii's help, and
might get annexed to the United
States, if it was not for Maui,
Kauai or Hawaii.
The Tribune goes on to say that
if Hawaii asks for any public i'm
provement, or is so presumptuous
as to criticise the action of any
officer of the Government, some
Honolulu smartie says the island
ers of Hawaii want to secede, and
the band is sent to Hawaii to
charm them back. This it calls
"rot," and it taunts the Govern
ment with having not received the
allegiance of one-tenth of the
people on Hawaii. The Tribune
then claims that the island of Ha-
waii has power to compel the Gov
eminent to give its people
anything they want in the
way of public improvements,
and: "The time is not far dis
tant when one, if not all, of the
portfolios of state will be asked to
be given to some one SIC upon
this island and it will be granted.
(Four ministerial portfolios to
one big, or little, man of the big
island is pretty good, yet it is
what some people supposed was
the case, at some crises, when a
Hilo man was the Marshal of the
Republic.)
Comment is almost needless
upon the lofty language thus held
by the Hilo journalists. A mo-
ment's sensible reflection will pro-

Timely Topics

President Kruger of the
Transvaal republic is one of
the greatest diplomats in the
world. He is a living proof of
the fact that in rare instances
the diplomatist is born, not
made. He is ignorant of let
tiers and the elegancies of life
and his range of reading is
very limited, but the old Boer
possesses qualities that enable
him to cope with the clevereSt
of the trained diplomatistS of
England.
The attention of the whole
civilized world is now riveted
on this man and his doingS.
His every act is reported in the
London and New York papers
by able special correspondents
detailed for the purpose.
Here in this little republic of
fly-specks on the great Pacific
we are so far from the arena
in which the present great
game of diplomacy is being
carried on, and our means of
getting news from the outside
world are so few and far be-
tween, that we have more time
to attend to our own and our
neighbor'S busineSS-especially
the latter, if all reports are true.
We want to call the atten-
ton of readers of the Bull
LETIN this week to something
which not only interests them
but their neighborS also. 1t is
to an article called CARBO-
LlNEUM AVENARlUS. We
believe those are Latin words
but we don't know and we
don't care. We know the ar
ticle is good for the purpose it
is used, and that is all that
concerns US.
CarbOlineum AVenariuS is
used for preserving wood
against all insects, rot, fungus,
etc, and it does the business
in great shape. 1t is applied
the same as paint and is in a
convenient and handy form
for use. We had a lot of this
valuable compound some time
ago but the demand was so
great when people got to know
about it that our stock was
soon exhausted. We have
plenty on hand now, however,
to supply everybody.
In building houses this pre-
paration is invaluable for coat
ing plates, mudSills and any
lumber which is liable to come
in contact with moisture. 1t
is excellent to preserve the ends
of fence posts and telephone
poles. Railway ties coated
with it last twice as long as
without it.
Nearly everyone is troubled
with borers about their prem
Uses. These pests will not
touch any woodwork that has
once been coated with Carbo-
lineum AvenariuS. Five dol
lars invested in this prepara-
ton will save $500 worth of
lumber.
This is not a new preparation.
1t has been in extensive use in
Europe and the United States
for twelve years past, where it
is gaining favor as its merits
become better known.
