AS this is the time of the
year when all the Rice Plant
ers and Plantations are busy
blowing, or getting ready to
pillow, we feel it to be our
bounden duty to speak Of our
Plantation Implements.
First and foremost is the
Avery Advance Double Fur
row Plow, which has given
great satisfaction wherever in
PRODUCED, and those on the
Islands who have tried these
Flows speak highly Of them on
account of the adaptability to
the soil Of Hawaii.
We also carry the Perfect
Breaker Flows in all sizes;
the Double Mould Board;
Rice Plows from 6 inch to 49,
inch; Harrows and Iron Gage
Cultivators.
The Avery Sugar Land I'm
Elements, such as Cultivators,
Fertilizer Distributors and
Stubble Diggers are all stand
ard articles and need no fur
ther comment.
That we have the most
complete stock Of Plantation
Implements in these Islands is
a conceded fact, and our prices
are such that no complaint is
ever heard on that score.

nature of children to like repetition,

and the moral taught is deeply nd
thoroughly impressed, for all child
stories contain simple moral, as
obedience in Riding Hood, or. more
complicated set as in Robinson Crusoe.
And what is true of child pleasures is
also true of child studies, they are far
too diffuse, and the crying evil of the
day is the lack of mental concentra-
ton among children. The fads will
explode in time, but they will do much
injury to the rising generation.

IF IT FAILS.

The prospect if we do not get an
neXation is by no means a pleasing
one to contemplate. The first cfrant
will be felt in the sugar plantations.
There has been such confidence i'm Z c
success of the annexation movement.
that considerable capital has rece atty
been sunk in more extended WORKS.
but should, by any untoward acciI,1t.
annexation not come, there would in
stantly set in period of timiditv. SUI
gar stocks would take a tumble fas-
ter than ever than have risen. and the
holders would find their wealth crum-
bling like dead sea fruit within their
hands. Some sugar plantations, now
struggling forward. and with a pros
pect of success within a few years if
favorable conditions obtain. will 90
clean under, and where is now heard
shouts of laborers and the hum of
busy machinery, there will be merely
the sound of the wind rustling on the
grass grown slopes, and the low of
an occasional steer.
And if plantations 90 under. those
who get employment from the plan
tations will be out of work and will
be first seeking places at former wa
ges, then at lower wages, and finally
those who can, will have to seek work
and homes elsewhere. With annexa-
ton there will be something to com
pete for, without annexation there
will be nothing to compete for, but,
in large number of instances, bare
tables and empty cupboards.
The tradesman will naturally feel
the depression. Indeed at the pres
ent moment there are traders to whom
annexation is vital. If it comes, they
go forward to prosperity: if it does
not, their race is run, and they must
begin to build again.
We may take it as certainty that
if there is no annexation there will be
a period of depression such as the Is
lands have never seen. not even when
the bottom dropped out of the whal-
ing industry and twenty-seven whale
ships were lost in the ice. That was
bad time and money was scarce in
deed. and people had to live very close.
but that will be as nothing compared
to what will occur after December, if
the plans of the anneNationists fail,
and the plans of the anti-anneNation-
lists prevail.
OF course those who have large re-
/ serve funds will not suffer. They. i'm
fact, will profit by depression, for
property will be able to be bought
cheap and they will have the cash to
| buy and will be able to wait for bet

The love of sport is innate in the
Anglo-Saxon, and among those races
whom he comes in contact with and
whom he educates. Gray hairs and
golden locks alike enjoy sport. AS
various sports come up in other parts
of the world, we in Honolulu take
them up and enjoy them. Cycling is
of comparatively recent date, but 1t
has taken strong hold upon people
in all parts of the world. Up to the
present our cycling however has been
of the amateur class, and today we
open up another period in our history
of sport and see what professional cy-
cling is like Everything in this way
is an advance, and to one who has liv-
ed in the city and seen its gradual de-
velopment it is satisfactory to see adj
vancement in any direction. What a
city needs is plenty of opportunity for
good healthy amusement. We have
now a good race track, or shall have

made, we have fine base ball ground

but If depression comes the cycle

THE TREATY.
The Ratification by the Hawaiian
Senate Quite Proper.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. L.
There is no disposition among officials
here to question the correctness OF
the statement in the dispatches from
Hawaii to the effect that Minister
Hatch hurried to Honolulu with the
special purpose of securing ratifica-
ton of the treaty of annexation by
the Hawaiian Government in advance
of the meeting of Congress.
There is no rule in diplomatic prac-
tice that would forbid Hawaii first
acting upon the treaty, and the treaty
itself does not indicate which govern
ment is to take the initiative in the
ratification. While it is regarded as
desirable in the execution of the pol
icy of President Mckinley toward Ha-
wall. as laid own in his message trans
hitting the treaty to CONGRESS- last
June, that the document shall be
ready in all respects for the action
of the United States Senate at its next
session, it is not believed that the
President has any intention of call
ing a special session for the purpose
of ratification. Indeed considering
the fact that if the Hawaiian Lepisla-
ture acts with the greatest prompt
ness upon the treaty, it can scarcely
complete this action and return the
ratified document to Washington he
| fore October at the earliest. 1t would
appear to be unnecessary to advance
the session of Congress by such very
short space of time as would intervene
between this and the date upon which
Congress meets in regular session.

FRAWLEYs ARE COMING.
viii Open in Honolulu on November
Eighteenth.

Satisfactory arrangements have
been made with Friedlander, Gottlob
& Co. for the appearance of the Fraw,
ley Company in Honolulu They will
open here on Thursday, November Is,
and will play season of three weeks.
This will be pleasant news to theater
goers.
The company this year is stronger
than ever. In speaking of the organi-
cation, the Chronicle recently said:
For three months we have had at the
Columbia Theater such productions
as prove that novelty alone makes IA
great deal of difference between high
and popular priced shows. To put it
frankly, the Lyceum company of New
York. when it was out here last, had
neither the balance nor the variety OF
talent Mr.. Frawley has around him.
There is not an actor or actress among
the principals who is not amply
equipped to take an equivalent place
i'm New York today. We really have
in the Columbia a comedy theater SUI
perior to any stock theater in the
country, and in the Frawley company
an organization without an equal out
side of New York. and only in special
cases in New York. The season is
drawing to close. and we shall miss
the always bright and tasteful pro-
auctions, the agreeable people and the
refined performances, for that kind OF
entertainment must give place to very
different attractions. There are no
other Frawley companies travelling
around"

Agate
Ware.

Do you know that
a great deal of ware is sold in this
market under the general term indi-
Gated above but in which there must
be wide divergence of quality? If
cost counts for anything take buckets,
for instance. A genuine Agate four
quart Scanned Bucket costs you fifty
cents at our store. The same size in
Peerless Ware would realize the same
percentage of profit if sold for thirty
cents. The moral is obvious.
We do not handle the cheap grades
in Enameled Ware, but will sell , ou
the best quality known to the trade
as low as the same can honestly be
sold.

plete stock of these goods ever import
