Honolulu, Sept. 10, 1896.

While in Hawaii we are safe
from those fatal heat waves that
have recently been so disastrous
in parts of the United States,
yet we all like to keep cool,
pleasant and happy. Now al
most the only way, or rather the
best way, is to be the fortunate
possessor of an ALASKA RE-
FRIGERATOR which we have
in different sizes and at proper
tionate prices. They are per-
fection, and beautiful pieces of
furniture
Then there is the ALASKA
ICE CHEST, without compart-
ment, in four sizes ranging in
price from 80 to $1S. They are
a necessity in every household,
and so good and cheap as to be
purchaseable by all.
Another convenience in every
home is the GEM ICE CREAM
FREEZER, in capacity from 2
quarts upwards and at extremely
moderate prices.
We must also look after our
beautiful lawns and lovely flowers
and for this purpose we most
highly and sanguinely recon-
mend our finch RUBBER
GARDEN HOSE, which we
have in 25 and so feet lengths.
Come and inspect these goods
under our new management.

falgar, hagships of the British Medi-
terranean squadrons, and twelve
other British warships have started
for the Levsnt.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. There is
no longer any doubt that the massa-
cres we're organized by the Turkish
authorities, and it has been ascer-
tanned that orders were only given
to the Bashi- Bazouks to cease mas
sacring the Armenians after the
bloody work had been going on for
thirty hours. 1t is also fact that
hundreds Of Turks were brought
over from he Asiatic side Of the
Bosphorous in order to take part in
the massacres, and many Armenians
we're put in boats which we're them
taken out to sea. Their fate is un-
known, but there is not the slightest
doubt that they have been drowned
Although it may be true that the
attack on the Ottoman Bank origin
ated with the Armenian revolution
airy commission, it is admitted on all
sides that the massacres which fol-
lowed vera not justified, and that
from 5000 to 1000 people lost their
lives in this city or in those of the
suburbs during the past week. The
Armenians also intended to attack
the palace, the branch Office of the
Credit Lyonnaise, and other places,
the avowed object being to force the
powers to Interfere in the Armenian
question.
People in position to judge the
situation accurately believe that the
Sultan has once more approached
dangerously near to the point OF
forcing upon the powers the neces-
sity of dismembering the Turkish
empire.
The joint note of the Embassa-
dors of the powers asking The Turk
ish Government to suppress the dis
orders in this vicinity is like similar
notes of the powers regarding the
massacres in Armenia. The warn
ing that the Sultan is endangering
the Turkish Empire by permitting
continuance OF the state of an
archy which prevailed is not looked
upon as likely to have more than
passing effect upon the Sultan.
The Armenians who surrendered
at the Ottoman Bank, and who we're
subsequently taken out OF the Sui
tan's jurisdiction, frankly announced
that it was intended to continue the
work OF agitation until the wrongs
OF the Armeuians were redressed, and
later circular was received at the
embassies from the Armenian Rsvo.

the announcement that the agitation
would be continued. The American

We make the following extracts
for the benefit Of the many who
don't read the Star but nevertheless
know Hawaii-nei as she is to-day:
1t is by no means extravagant to
claim that Hawaii is to-day the most
peaceful, prosperous and progressive
country ON the lace of the globe.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-09-10


quoted from the official organ. The
audacity of the writer of such rot is
only equalled by his mendacity. Ha-
waii is neither peaceful, prosperous
or progressive In the history Of
the islands no "harder" times have
ever been eocountered, nor auy more
dissatisfaction and unhappiness than
at present. The people to-day are
preparing petition which will he
signed by every decent Hawaiian
and every naturalized foreigner who
believes in popular Government
asking for a plebescite in regard to
the future of their country. The
Hawaiians and the free men who are
not under the thumb of the mission
ary clique can no longer tolerate the
military oligarchy instituted con-
trary to justice, right and decency.
They want to be heard and they
will be heard, by peaceful means, if
possible, or otherwise.
General business has never been
worse than at present. Every mer-
chant and storekeeper in Honolulu
admits that during the past year
there has been falling off in re-
ceipts of 25 percent as compared
with former years. The empty stores
on Fort street, the main business
thoroughfare of Honolulu speak
volumes.
The statement that any man can
fnd employment if willing to work
is to say the least misleading. Uu-
doubtedly work can be obtained by
any white man if he will work for
Sl2 month, and find himself as do
the Japanese and Chinese coolies.
Whether he can stand such work is
a different point That "brains are
at premium" is statement that
we cannot deny. The stockholders
Of the Star are the best judges-they
haven't evidently paid the premium
yet and obtained the brains for
their paper.
That there is not an idle mechanic
in Honolulu is disgracefnl lie
which can only tend to bring auoth-
er horde OF good men here to be
sorely disappointed and swell the
ranks Of the "inspectors of side
walks"
The statesmen aud economists
who pronounce our constitution an
advanced basic law must be strictly
ccnfued to the Star Office. We have
been unable find any OF them at
large. To learn that he Govern
ment is without an opposition is
highly pleasing and as such is the
case according to the official organ
we see no reason why a plebescite
should not be granted. As there is
no opposition the present Govern
ment will as matter of course be
sustained by au unanimous popular
vote. Just try it.
There is only one point in which
we heartily agree with our esteemed
contemporary and that is vixen it
says that Mr., Dole's Government is

be said of her that she was self-educated.
The little town of Perry, Ill, in which she
was raised, is mediocre in all things and
does not differ a whit from the thousand

Unlike most women, she has not an atom

When the campaign now started gets

/ hances the physical and mental growth of
women. She has abundant faith in the
capability Of woman, and in herself she is a
wonderfully fine example Of the truth of
this belief
Mrs Bryan is thirty-four years old. and
she doesn't claim to be a day younger. In
the early part of 1884 she was married to
the man who will go down in history as
the youngest Presidential nominee ever put
forth by any party. She was twenty-five
then, and year later her daughter Ruth,
now eleven years old, was born.
A HANDSOME WOMAN.
If Mrs. Bryan did not have so much com
mon sense she would look younger than she
really is Her intelligence shows in her
face and in her manner. Essentially she
is a sensible. matter of fact woman. She
is not pretty, she is handsome She has
the good looks which will stand the wear
and tear Of years easily, and at fifty or sixty
she will be pleasant to look upon.
She is q type Of the fine, wholesome
American woman, fearless and honest in all
things, thinking her husband the best hu-
man creature in the world and her children
the next best to husband. Men may differ
with the politics Of the man, but for the
wife there will be no feeling except that
of admiration and respect, no matter what
the outcome Of the campaign may be- the
triumph of gold or the victory of silver.
Long before her husband had earned fame
in the political arena Mrs. Bryan was a
factor in the social life of Lincoln Neb
The city is not large one but it's aspira-
tions are as broad as the nation itself and
Mrs Bryan did much to plant the seed of
ambition in the minds Of her neighbors.
Lincoln has nearly all the advantages, Of
course, on a small scale, of the greater
cities, and it is pushing bravely ahead in
search OF more.
SWINs LIKE A FISH.
Not long ago natatorium was established
in Lincoln. For some reason it did not
flourish at first. but Mrs. Bryan argued
that it was a valuable possession for the
city and by inducing her friends to become
interested in it she made Of it quite a fad
Now she says that her greatest delight is
swimming and she boasts mOdestly OF her
experiences in the water.
If the fates should land Mrs. Bryan in
