\ COMMERCIAL MUSEUM.

The idea of commercial museum,
which was suggested some time ago,
has not borne fruit. 1t is to be hoped
the idea will not be allowed to die en-
tirely. At the Kamehameha Museum
we have the weapons, the stone imple-
ments, the tapas and the feather
cloaks of the precivilized period. These
are all very interesting to the anti
quarry and the savant. But what we
need is a display of what we can do
now. Specimens of our various grades
of sugar, specimens of our coffee, of
rice, of our fans and hats, with the
materials from which they are made,
models of our sugar machinery, of ma
chinery used in preparing and clean
ing coffee and rice, views of the mills,
of the men working in the fields. Here
also might be kept the models upon
which patents have been issued under
our patent law.
There are many people who stay in
Honolulu but few days, making a
away with very little knowledge of
our agricultural and manufacturing
methods. To such people a commercial
museum would be a matter of great
interest. Undoubtedly such a museum
would be of considerable benefit to the
trade of the country and the initial eX-
penses should be borne by the mer-
chants and planters. 1t would be a
standing advertisement and well and
carefully selected would be ready at
any time to be forwarded to any
worlds fair that might be organized.
1t is about time we ceased sending
stone AIDES and tapa beaters as spec
linens of what we can do. Let us pre-
pare something that shows our in
dustries. VIII not the Chamber IF
Commerce take the initiative?

MARGH 2. 1897.

Since we last spoke of agri-
cultural implements in this
column, events have taken
place that are Of great import
ance to us and to the users of
agricultural implements. 1t is
nothing more nor less than
the collecting under one roof
of all our stock that has been
heretofore placed in various
warehouses throughout the
city.
We are not boasting when
we say that we have the largest
and best show room Of any
house, in our line of goods, in
the Hawaiian Islands.
We have not only the largest
show room, but the best light
ed and best arranged. All the
implements are arranged so
that it is possible to see the
assortment, which is always
kept complete, to the best adj
vantage.
The central location of the
show room is another point in
favor. The entire building on
Fort Street, next to our retail
store, formerly occupied by H.
w. Schmidt and Sons is taken
up with Rice plows, Z sizes,
Breaker plows in IL, IA, l6
inch, Sulky Disc-Plows, Stub
BILE Diggers, Stubble Shavers,
Sugar Land Cultivators, Wheel
barrows, Aspinwall Potatoe
Planters, Extra parts for the
various lines, Aermotors and
Sewing Machines; in fact every
thing needed by our patrons.
Speaking of our plows we
are in receipt almost daily Of
unsolicited testimonials of their
sterling merit. We don't care
to elbow our own horn" as we
would prefer you would find
out these things of your own
accord, yet it is nothing more
than justice to ourselves that
we speak of them. Next time
you are in the city don't fail to
see our new showroom.

THE IRREPRESSIBLE JAP.

There has been rise in prices in
Japan. Agricultural laborers who
were getting five cents per day are
now getting twelve and a half, weavers
enteen and "A half cents, while black
smiths have risen to about forty-fve
cents a day. And, of course, there is
a wall among the Japanese capitalists
over the fearful prices of the labor
market. This jump in the price of
labor has been chiefly caused by the
tremendous expansion in manufactur-
ing industry. The cotton mills are
chiefly responsible. Also the American
firms, who have been unpatriOtic
enough to establish works in Japan,
have helped to raise the rate of wages.
But as it now stands, even with the
rise of wages, the japanese are per-
fectly willing to seek better fields.
These islands and Mexico present 4
sort of Golconda to the laboring
classes of Japan. The inroad which IS
just now being made upon us by the
so-called students" and the irrespons-
ible labor companies shows how anX-
ious the japanese laborer is to leave
his home and make for some country
outside his own dominion.
A set of people who can adapt them
selves to the conditions around them,
as easily as the japanese do are much
more to be regarded and at times
dreaded than such an unassimilable
race as the Chinese. A quiet conquest
from the Chinese need never be dread
ed. a quiet conquest from the jap
anese is to be looked seriously in the
face.
What line of industry have not the
japanese invaded here?Dry goods they
are holding their own in. Groceries
of a minor character they are supply
ing and timed articles of their own
putting up, in very similar fashion to
American goods of the same class. The
foreign BARRIERS have felt the pressure
of the Japanese BARRIERS, who have
taken considerable amount of their
trade from them. They are pushing
into the tailoring business, into the
candy business, and, in fact, into al
most every line.
How are you going to stop the Jap
unless you take stringent measures?
1t is for this reason that The Star sup
ports the Government heart and soul
in its necessary attempt to prevent the
unauthorized introduction of Japanese
into the country. Allow this class of
people to come in at the rate of 600 a
month for the next twelve months and
put no restrictions upon what manner
they shallb employed in and every
trade in the country will be fairly

Mines of Mammoth Bones.

At some time in the distant past re.
markable state of affairs existed in what
are now the bleak arctic regions of Siberia.
At the time of which we speak, the climate
must have boon comparatively mild for
thousands and hundreds of thousands of
huge animals, mostly of the elephant type,
roamed up and down the valleys of what are
now frozen polar rivers. In the midst OF
their innocent happiness IA sudden and
awful change came. Some philosophers
say that the earth fell out of balance
and tilted thousands of miles to the north
Whatev n the cause, fierce winter almost
instantly swept over the land of the mas,
todon and the mammoth and overwhelm-
ed the great beasts in huge snowdrifts,
from which they could not extrcate them
selves. In the course of time these huge
banks of snow were transformed into grea,
mountains of ice, and today specimens Of
the great hairy mammoth may be found
that are us fresh us when they were frozen
in, thousands OF years ago In some places
along the Lena river the bluffs are perfect

Lamp novelties are new to
Honolulu-new to the United
States-until a smart French
man employed at the factory
conceived the idea of building
for oil what others had done
for candles.
Look at the illustrations in
the accounts of swell dinners
and you will find beautifully
designed candelabras. A year
ago they were for candles.
Now they are for lamps.
You will find the same thing
in our Eva window, and no
other shop has them. No
other dealer handles them as
we do, because our buying
methods are modern. Sos
our selling methods. You can
get banquet candelabra lamp
at our store for about what
you pay for a single burner in
some places. That's the differ
ence in the methods.
You are interested in those
lamps even if you burn cleo
tricity. The table can be dec
GRATED with flowers and lamps.
Dishes come under the head
of necessities"
Half the pleasure of night
wheeling is in having a good
lamp. Policemen are alert to
find a man taking dark ride.
Sometimes the light jolts out
and the rider finds himself
without a match. No such
trouble with the Banner
bicycle lamp. 1t is made to
burn and stand hard knocks.

THE MALE SOCIETY BUD.
He Has Arrived and Great Things Are
Expected of Him,

Expected OF Him.
If the blossoming of the female "bud"
into Il flower of society is proper topic for
newspaper discussion, why should not the
male "bud' be also honored with de.
tailed write up in the public prints, sc
that his charms may be as widely adver
tised as those of the attractive creatures
who depend upon him for seats at the
opera and partners at tho germanY Evi-
IDENTIFY there is no just reason for the dis.
elimination from the point of view of a
Washington paper, which presents in sew
eral columns the best qualities of a num-
Der of masculine "budS" which are now
full blown.
The proud monopoly which the faireI
sex has heretofore enjoyed is thus rudely
assailed, and hereafter it would not DO sur.
pirsng if the enterprising society reporter
has to give as much attention to those coy
young things that wear dress coats and
belong to the club as he has heretofore de,
voted to the ladies. Whether this shall
prove to be an affection remains to be
seen, but the novelty of the innovation
will no doubt lend some interest at first to
the apotheoss Of the male "bud." Blond
or blondine brtjlette or strawberry type,
he will be pictured to us in all his stun
ming beauty.
The part of his hair, the length of his
collar and the brevity of his topcoat, the
style of his boots and the color of his
gloves, the diameter of his eyeglasses and
the angle at which he wears his silk hat,
all these detaiDand many more not here
set forth will be dwelt upon with the nice
analysis and painstaking industry of the
society reporter Eyelashes, teeth, trim OF
beard or mustacbe, nose of Grecian or Ro.
man type perhaps retrousse or expansive,
will not be neglected, of course
Great things are promised for the exalta-
ton of the male bud" and if he has
heretofore blossomed in obscurity the time
of his apotheosis has come No longer
will he be violet in modest seclusion,
but sunfower, brilliant, if not gaudy.-

But all the above arguments only
show the more the absolute necessity
of annexation. Here is the outpost of
Anglo Saxon civilization in the Pacific
practically threatened by an insidious
attempt to run in a horde of Asiatcs
against the wishes of the Government
and of the people. Once the Islands
belong to the Great Republic no such
attempt can be made. The Islands
would then become a bulwark instead
of possible menace.
The naval officers of the United
States thoroughly understand the sit
uation, and if their advice were taken
there would be little fear upon the an
neNation question. From a military
standpoint they see the advantage of
the annexation of the islands.
But there are others who must see
it too. Tie vast Christian congrega-
tons of the United States must see it..
Are they going to allow their outpost
of Christianity, to be swamped by
Buddhism, Shintoism and a hundred
other isms of like character? 1t is
not likely? \ wave of determination
in this matter will sweep over the
United States. You may sometimes
defy national pride, you may defy the
military spirit, but when you touch
the religious spirit you have the nation
as one. AS a true outpost of Chris
tianity the Hawaiian Islands need the
protecting shield of the United States.
And there can be no doubt that the
protecting shield will be raised and
the troubles of the Islands laid at rest.

overrun. Moreover it will not stop at
600 month, the number coming in
will be much larger during seine per-
iods of the year. Even with the rise
i'm wages to twelve and half cents
day in Japan the chance of earning
four times that amount and prospect
of getting eight times that amount in
course of time make the prospect on
these Islands very alluring.
We have done very well with mixed
labor here, because the various classes
and nationalties of laborers have
never amalgamated, but allow one ma
tionality, like the Japanese, to drive
out all other classes and there will re-
suit II class which is only too ready
and willing to combine against the en-
ployer and leave him in the lurch just
when he most needs his labor.
The question lisa very serious one to
every member of our cosmopolitan
community. 1t is one in which every
one must take an interest, no matter
what shade of politics or what ma
tionality a man may be. 1t is one of
those questions which unite us as a
whole, however we may split off after
wards. Self preservation is one of the
laws of nature, and in meeting with
the utmost rigor of the law this
Underground route"of the Japanese
the Government is working for both
Royalist and Republican alike.
