The business conducted by this firm
was established over 80 years ago. OF
the present proprietors, Mr.. John Simp-
son has been connected with the store
for 20 years, and Mr.. R. H. Huston
for six years. Both gentlemen are good
business men, and they have built up !,
big trade. They carry large and COM
plete stock of hard and tinware, and
deal extensively in paints and oils. They
are the principal local dealers in sport
ing goods, are the agents for the cele-
brated Columbia and Hartford bicycles.
The firm handles the Superior stoves,
the very best in the market. The store
does an immense business in harvesting
machinery and all farm implements. 1t
sells Studebaker wagons and buggies,
Mccormack harvesting machinery, OH
yer plows and Buffalo threshing ma
chinery. The firm enjoys the confidence
of the public, and the large trade it has
secured is the natural result of intelli-
gent and legitimate business methods.

ALOHA oU KoU.

-Four Hawaiian gen tlemen leave
for Washington to-day by the Gae-
lie. They have been chosen to re-
present the Hawaiian people and on
their behalf enter a final protest
against the ratification Of the annex
alton treaty by Congress. Colonel
John Richardson, William Auld,
James Koulia, and D. Kalauokalani
are he four delegates. The three
last named go to present to the U.
S. Government memorial opposing
annexation, which was recently
adopted at large public mass
meeting and also petitions against
annexation which have been signed
by large number of Hawaiians.
Colonel Richardson represents spe-
cially the people Of Maui, but is also
the bearer Of important dispatches
to the Queen from the headquarters
OF the anti-annexationists in Homo.
lulu. This delegation who are sacri-
ficing their business to serve their
country will prove to the American
people that the Hawaiians now as
always stand up for their rights as a
nation, for the independence OF their
country. May the mission OF the
delegates be crowned with success,
is the prayer Of the Hawaiian people
to-day.

President Dole is at Kiholo, Ha.
wall. lie has succee ded 10 shooting
Que duck. Plovers are plenty, and
so aro the wild geese, but it is now
the closed season, and he is trying
to observe the law.-P G. AdvertiSer.
Shades OF Grover, Hawaii has also
a duck shooting president. Grover,
however, when he held down the
presidential chair in Washington,
did his shooting in proper season
and as a rule bagged more than one
duck. Our Sanford b. is OF course
above the law, but we are pleased to
learn from tho official organ that
she is trying to observe the law"
When we remember recent events in
the history OF Hawaii, we realize
what an effort it must be for our
president to observe the laws. Shoot
another of Eben's tame ducks, Mr.
President, aud have the event pro-
perly gazetted and the duck stuffed,
not for eating purposes, but as a
memento OF the red latter day when
Sanford Ballard Dole tried to ob
serve the law.

Senator Dubois who is another
true, upright American spoke words
which must smart even the thick
skipned birelings of those who want
to betray the Hawaiian people, and
who claim that the Hawaiians are
unfit for self government, indiffer-
ent to the future OF their country,
aud have no rights" in their native
land. Mr.. Dubois said:
In my judgment 90 fair man who
was not aciusted by personal con-
siderations of some kind could go
among the people OF these islands
and then deliberately 60 back to the
great American people and say to
them: 1--WE after acquiring our
rights OF property in this beautiful
land. now ask you to aid us in TAX
ing them away from these people
against their will"
You may have been faulty in the
administration of your Government
you may have committed many acts
of injustice. | think If that is so
that the last four or five years will
have had a chastening effect upon
you. | believe you will learn much
from this experience, these trials
and tribulations you have gone
through. So far as am concerned
unless mistake human nature, you
will be- q much better Government
after this than you were before; but
whether you are or not; this is your
land, it belongs to you, and so long
as you ara fair, 50 long as you treat
those whom you have invited to
come among you with fairness these
lands belong to, and you are re-
sponsible TO your God and your
selves for the way in which you take
care OF them.

SATURDAY, NOV. 20, 1897.

The Advertiser is probably correct
in its statement that Ex-senator
Dubois has deserted Snowman"
Thurston's cause and become an
anti-annexationist. 1t will be found
that a great many "most enthusias-
tic supporters" of the flibusters
have changed their minds when
the Senate votes are polled. Annex
alton lies travel far aud fast, but
calm and impartial investigation is
showing them under somewhat
rapidly, while the glacial storm Of
truth is brooding more threatingly
over them day by day. All the
nefarious tricks are being exposed
one by one and torrent OF disgust
will sweep away, in the estimation
OF the American people, the men
whose treachery is based alone on
selfish motives. We need not hasten
the day of retribution for it is near
enough at hand.

A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.

We have been permitted to make
the following extracts from private
letter written by 8 well-known
Young Hawaiian to a friend in this
city, which show the feelings which
the loyal Hawaians entertain for
their late friend, Charles L. Gulick:
81 was sorry to hear that one Of
our strongest men has again sue
cumbed to the inevitable and drop
ped out OF ranks without seeing the
one thing that we have strived for
these four years. He has fought a
noble battle, and though the end Of
the issue was not for him to see,
still in one sense of the word he has
won against all odds, l see for my
self how we Hawaiians could take
the stand we are taking to-day. But
for haole, and missionary's son at
that, | cannot see it so we'll. And
il there is such a thing as mission
ary's son on our side, l must bow my
head in reverence to that man and
say he is friend indeed. Such is
the way l feel for our departed
friend, Charles T. Gulick. May God
reward his faithful soul, and may
the good work he has left undons
(not because OF lack Of patience or
60 workers) be carried on to the
end"

TWO TRUE FRIENDS.

The unscrupulous manner in
which the hired agents OF the an
nsxationists has disseminated false
hoods and barefaced lies 10 the
United States is being shown up
more and more every day, Senators
aud Congressman have visited the
islands recently to see and hear for
themselves what the true conditions
of the islands and the genuine senti-
ments of the people are.

Every American who respects the
honor of his country must feel
proud over the noble words of the
two distinguished statesmen who
leave our shores to-day. The Ha-
waiians feel grateful in having at
last found two friends from the
Great Republic across the sea, who
respect their rights and uphold the
justice Of their demand to be treated
as Zee and independent men.

Senator Pettigrew, in speech at
Hail Church in Hilo, where he and
ex-senator Dubois addressed over
1000 native Hawaiians, said:
"Much Misrepresentation has been
made in the United States with re-
gard to how the native Hawaiian
looked upon this question. | had
supposed when came that many OF
your people were in favor OF annexa-
ton, because it had been so repre-
sented, but have talked with every
one who would talk with me, and |
have failed to find a native Hawai-
ian who was not opposed to annexa-
tion to the United States, and in
favor of your Government"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-20

Senator Morgan, as a contrast to
Mr.. Pettigrew, declined to look into
the true state OF affairs hen he
visited the islands as the guest of
the Annexation Club. He knew
that Thurston and company's state
ments in regardto Hawaii were lies
from one end to the other, hut he
was not man enough to listen to the
"other side" Nothing could change
his mind, said the antiquated Sena-
tor from Alabama, using the argu-
ment OF the Bourbons and the i'm
beetles.
