Timely Topics.
Honolulu, april 3, 1897.

The arrival of the last "Aus-
tralia" was greeted with a sigh
of relief from the whole COM
munity. The unusually long in
terval between mails had made
people quite anxious, and ru-
mors of war and other political
disturbances were flying as thick
as leaves in Vallambrosa. The
encouraging news of the probable
passage of the Dingley bill, i'm
posing a duty on all foreign
Sugars while preserving for Ha-
wall nei the advantages of the
Reciprocity Treaty, gladdened
the hearts Of all, planters as well
as merchants, who predict a new
era of prosperity and progress
for these beautiful Isles of the
Pacific. News was also brought
of the knocking out of Champion
Jim Corbett by his sturdy oppon-
ent Fitzsimmons.
The TRIBUNE BICYCLE
knocks them all out. Like the
Roman tribunes of old, it stands
on a pinnacle of fame, elevated
above all others, andl like Fitzsim-
mons it beats all the other
Champions.
The '97 MODEL is the acme
of perfection in wheels; it has
no equal. We received a num-
ber of them by this "Australia"
and can furnish them in Black,
Royal Blue or Maroon.
The Sager Pneumatic Saddle
is recognized as the best for ease
and comfort; no disease Of the
spine or jar to your nerves if
you ride this saddle.
The STODDER PUNCTURE-
LESS TIRE is impenetrable by
glass, nails, thorns, pins, etc,
and yet it retains all its elastic
and resilient qualities. Every
Tire guaranteed for one year.

stock.

So extremely busy were the clerks
at the Registration for Electors
Office that it was unnecessary this
morning for the chairman of the
Board to be present at the adver-
tised opening hours, although per-
sons we're waiting for him for nearly
twenty minutes to ascertain his
views on certain matters.
1t was learned, however, through
the courtesy OF member of the
Board, that the registrations are
actually approaching" the hundred
mark, and that the reason for the
request, not demand, that persons
should produce their different titles
to their privilege OF voting,-always
excepting the tax receipts which are
requested by law to be produced,-
was to save the time OF hunting
through tho books for previous
registrations in the event of a "rush"
to register, A very valid reason, for
sooth, in the case OF men registering
for the first time, but it is to be pre-
sumed that the Board will, in any
case, have to refer to the books, and
trace up the names OF the men
claiming previous register even if
they produce their carpet bags and
titular documents for the election
of Representatives in September
next, AS it is, however, only the
"P. G.'s" who are registering the
matter is of trivial Importance, and
there are nearly three months to
register in.

Cricket on Saturday.

Unless there is a down pour on
Saturday afternoon, a match game
at cricket for the sake OF practices
will be played at the old recreation
grounds at Makiki, between the
teams of Married and Single, snd all
players or lovers OF cricket are
cordially invited to attend at 2
o'clock when the wickets will be
pitched on the new pitch which is
now being placed in order.
Up to date, the teams have been
arranged as follows, and appear to
be fairly we'll matched as several
new players of merit have agreed to
play, while several of the former
stalwarts have consented to brush
off the rust in the interest OF the
noble British game.

Kalanianaole, DR.. Sloggett, Weldon,
Il Scrimgeour, Lishman, Jordan

steal assistance is in demand at the
State jule mills and stone piles. 1t
is one OF the curious contradictions
in human affairs that thing so re-
voting in social life becomes "states-
manship" when practiced by strong
nations IN their dealings with weak
ones. That Mr. Rhodes excuse is
deemed sufficient appears at every
phase Of the Parliamentary inquiry.
And why not2 Great Britain gather
ed its empire precisely the same way
that the Premier Of the Cape Col
ouy tried to add to her South
African possessions, and it would
cloud British imperial titles in both
hemispheres to admit that his
method was wrong.
Every principle applied in the
above excerpt to the action OF Mr..
Cecil Rhodes and Great Britain in
Africa can be applied with crushing
force to the action OF U. S. Minister
Stevens, Captain Wiltse of the U, S.
S. S. Of war Boston, and Mr. Dole,
in Hawaii, in January, 1898. In fact
the action OF the United States of
6cials was far more dastardly, and
yet the Chronicle maint aims a pur.
chased silence on Hawaiian affairs,
save in the following editorial item
Queen Lii will find Mckinley a
man of different mold from her
great and good friend" who has
just gone into permanent retirement
The President will give her to un.
derstand distinctly that whatever
may be done with Hawaii, the opera
boulfe OF kanaka royalty will never
be restored.
Malice aud money wiggle the pens
OF the Chronicle writers.

THEIR LITTLE GAME.

If the friends of this funny little
republic" in Washington are so sure
OF annexation they are not showing
it by their works. If annexation is
to be, why work for the treaty. An
nexation will secure for Hawaiian
grown sugars all that the treaty
does. The sequence OF the two bills
about Hawaii shows much more
than columns of twaddle in the Adj
vertiser. Had the order been chang
ed so that the joint resolution OF
Mr. Spalding of Michigan followed
the action for the treaty this "best
government" might be singing the
Jubilate.

ON TWO SIDES.
The following is from the S. F.
Chronicle:
THEFT IN CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Chronicle:

The evidence given by Cecil
Rhodes ss to events past and present
in the South African Republic re-
veal him as typical British empire
builder. Whenever pressed with
inquiry as to why he connived at the
invasion OF Boer territory he took
refuge in the statement that the
Beers had not been doing right by
the Uitlanders. But what he had
to do with that was left to the
Imagination. The Beers owned the
country and enjoyed the privilege OF
running it. Mr.. Rhodes was not a
Uitlander, in the sense of being q
foreign resident OF the Transvaal,
