1t appears to be useless to remind
our most courteous contemporaries
that so far as the matter OF the
claims against the Hawaiian Gov
ernment are concerned there is a
temporary rest. Mr.. Cooper, as the
Bulletin says may 'smilingly" re-
mark and decline to give inform
alton. All inquisitive inquirers will
gain no information. Diplomacy
moves slowly and surely. The
health and financial recuperstion
of the country is of far greater i'm
portance than the settlement of
private claims.

The situation, however, is getting
more and more ridiculous, and we
hope that climax has been reached
when Mr.. Rhodes, a Government
official, publicly and under oath be-
fore the oourtmartial testified to
scaling the fence around the Execu-
tive building and deliberately demo-
fishing one of the cannons, on the
use of which the very existence OF
the republic depends, then hops
back over the fence, goes home with
his booty,and there writes an anony-
NOUS letter TO the president, enclos-
ing the piece abstracted from the
gun, and signs himself, friend of
the Government.

But when Mr.. Chun Hook, after
openly confessing that he did the
act simply pro bono publico, and had
got through his confession and
shown by bis handwriting that he
was the author Of the letters, it is

WHAT NEXvP

That Hawaii can boast of being
the funniest little republic in the
civilized world has been a we'll
established fact for the last few
years. The whole affair since Janu-
ary, 1893, seems to have been in
augurated to furnish material for a
burlesque which cannot fail to make
hit.

the patrolmen were out OF sight.

By reading these facts most peo-
pie will be inclined to think that it
is "story" to be classed with the
Advertisers "black" lady and the
Bulletins India rubber boy. 1t is
hardly possible to believe that we
have reached point when friends
OF the Government after hearing
strangers" talking about the in
secure and foolish position OF the
guns at the Executive building,
through their ''impetuosity" should
jump fence at the risk of being
shot, to make the situation of the
Government still worse by the abs
traction OF a vital piece OF a cannon.

Freemasons at Brighton, England
The 98th anniversary OF the Royal
Masonic Institution for Boys, was
celebrated at Brighton last month.
Speaking at the banquet the Duke
OF Devonshire remarked that the
Government had lately made an
effort to reform and re-organize the
system OF elementary and secondary
education in England, but had not
met with unqualified success. VI
hope that on a second attempt" he
continued, Eve may be more sue
cessful. During recent years the
progress of this institution has not
only been constant, but has also
been rapid. Since 1885, the boys
upon your foundation have risen
from 215 to 279, and the report of
the Cambridge University Syndicate
is one which is Of satisfactory
character. You are providing for
the
EDUCATION AND MAINTENANCE
of 270 boys at an annual expenditure
Of between f12,000 and fl3,000 a
year. That is being done by an in
stitution possessing no assured in
come beyong f1,700 or f1,S00 de-
rived from investments. But, thanks
to the great Masonic body in Eng
land, the institution has been in re-
ceipt Of an income which not only
has been amply sufficient to provide
for its immediate needs, but has
enabled it to make a gradual but
constant addition to its invested
funds. (Hear, hear). You have
now a sum invested of 100000, as
against fl7000 in 1885. But like
other institutions, this is outgrowing
its home and its surroundings. The
neighborhood in which the school
is situated is becoming more and
more crowded, and the conviction
has been rapidly growing that the
board of management may at some
future period have to consider the
question of removing to another
site"

Timely Topics.
honolulu, July S7, 1896.

When the wonderful New Pro-
cess Blue Flame Oil Stove was
introduced to your notice by us,
we scarcely anticipated the sue
cess that has followed its intro
duction.
We felt assured, most un-
doubtedly, that the public trials
by ladies of repute, had attract
ed the attention of economical
housewives and the friends of
pure and perfect cooking through
an odorless burner, with q maxi
mum of heat and a minimum
of danger.
We did not expect, however,
that our stock would have been
sold out so soon in the view of
the competition of business
rivals, but that is the fact.
But merit speaks for itself,
and people must have clean food,
irrespective of religious and
political debates. Fortunately
for you--to us it is almost a
matter of indifference-our prin-
cipals have sent us just what
you want.
We can now offer you just
what you require, No. 106 with
the oven arrangement for $25;
or there is No. 105, including
the oven for $22.50. These are
perfect stoves. There is ten
pounds difference in the weight,
the one being 140 lbs, and the
other 130lbs., but for the"cooking
made easy" there is very little
choice between them except in
details of neatness, convenience
aud establishment.
1t is well to remember that
there are three desiderata in
these stoves, a pure blue odorless
flame, perfect safety and the use
of the ordinary kerosene oil.
We can add to these the clean
illness of the stove and the small
amount of labor required to
keep it in perfect order.
There are two little incidents
attached to these stoves that
will attract the attention of
domestic cooks, and one is the
"New Process" toaster. Even if
you don't posses one of our stoves
it will be found extremely useful
to toast or broil. The other is
the "New Process" Ventilated
broiler, which retains all the
juices in the meat and will
change tough steak or outlet
into a tender one without the
hatchet or the rolling pin.
Call and examine these things
for yourself. Perhaps, we have
other matters that we can whis-
per to you about.

Judge Wilcox expressed himself
in regard to search warrants this
morning to certain officers applying
for one. He objected to issuing search
warrants which officers would keep
in their pockets for four or five days
or until their "informers" had been
able to "plant" the dope. A search
warrant, said the judge, should be
used within a hours, according to
law and the rulings of the Supreme
Court. We think the judge is very
sound in his remarks and that he
pretty we'll knows the "ins" and
"outs" of the methods of the officers.
A few more lectures from the bench
may help in discouraging those Off
cials who have the idea that any Jap
or Cinnamon are their legitimate
prey. The boys don't dare to kolohe
when Judge Wilcox is on the bench.

1t is very pleasing to notice the
leading Hawaiian newspaper, the
Makaainana, exhorting its readers
to exact the greatest cleanliness on
their promises and in their houses.
The Makaainana reminds the Ha-
waiians that it was at this season, a
year ago, the epidemic broke out
which caused the death of large
number of their countrymenS The
present unhealthy weather and the
unfortunate condition Of the drink
ing water are called attention to.
May the Hawaiians heed the warn
ing of the Makaainana and assist in
avoiding another epidemic.

takes a long time to conquer he sentis
meutal objections advanced by the
ignorant aud certain religious fana-
tics. We do not believe that crema-
ton will meet with very serious
opposition from the Hawaiians as
suggested by the morning paper.
In olden days they removed the
flesh from the bones OF their dead.
The flesh was consumed by fire and
the bones buried or hidden in caves
or other places. We think that Gre
nation which can be attended with
all the ceremonies at present used
at burials would not be unpopular.
The sanitary advantages to be gain
ed need no explanation to any think
ing person. In tropical city like
Honolulu, without sewerage sys-
tenn or filtered water, the Govern
ment should insist on the cremation
OF bodies. We hope the matter will
not be dropped and the suggestions
OF Mr.. Smith be consigned to pigeon
holes and oblivion.
