MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MiNNEAPOLIS, June 21.-The local wheat
market opened very quietly this morning the
hrst quotation being recorded in comnaTative
silence, the price being Lice over SATURDAY
In another five minutes the Lice was lost
and for several minutes 1t was douhtfni
whether the opening figure should be main
tanned. At the end Of a haIf-hour Ju1v
wheat had advanced to 71Ac Another half
hour was spent in reducing values down tn
70%c, but a rally Of &c ensued shortly after
and by II a. m. had declined to 70$c- az
all the dull and featureless days, this morn
ing took the prize.
July wheat opened at 70%c, against 70%@
70Bc Saturday, lost Lice, sold at 7OHc. de-
clined to 70%c, advanced to 71Bc, lost &c.

up to 701ac by noon. September wheat OPEN
ed at 62sc, being the same as SATURDAY..
gained Bc by IL a. M, and by noon sold
at 62Ac. There was no trading done in Sep
tember to speak Of, being confined almost
solely to the bid and asked price.
The cash wheat market was very dull.
The tables were well covered with offer
ings OF no grade and rejected grades, which
were hard to move at any price. No. l
northern sold at 202Ac over July. but there
was very little of it offered. Sales were
made as per statement below. Receipts

The market during the noon hour was

Lemarchand's homeless sar-

had such a continuous run on
them that we have been forced
to duplicate our last large order,
Our pre-ent stock may not last
until the next arrives.
The whole world boasts of the
jams, preserves and pickles put
up by Crosse & Blackwell and
j. II. Morton. Our stock con-
tains everything put up by these
well-known firms. The last lot
arrived by the Routenbeck and
are absolutely fresh.
We have goods from the

themselves. Lemarchand's high

them. These are timed in the
same manner as his famous sar-
dimes and are a rare delicacy.

Honolulu, april 3, 1897.

The arrival Of the last "Aus-
tralia" was greeted with 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-
waii 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
ofthe 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 pinnacle of fame, elevated
above all others, and 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-
Der 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-

and yet it retains all its elastic
and resilient qualities. Every
Tire guaranteed for one year.

THE HO ME- GUARDS.

Ah! now; apparently we know
who really rule our Ves,rY Board.
The bes government" these islands
ever had neither rules nor reigns.
They merely exist--not on the popu-
lar will-but, by the permission of
two military organizations, the di'-
integrating militia on the one hand
and the more independent Citizens
Guard Oh the other. The lNDEPEND-
ENT was not aware that the latter
body was political one, in the
sense that it il composed entirely Of
ardent supporters Of the military
oligarchical Il public, but the rather
was under the impression that it
was the silent and controlling
power for the preservation OF our
fami les and homes in the hour OF
riot or sudden peril from unforeseen
causes. We have regarded it also
as the Home Guard to assist the
hands OF Justice and tho Police
when necessary. Except that the
names OF its members are practically
known, it has slight similarity in
its organizalion' to the Californian
Committees Of Safety and properly
directed in its aims can be used most
effectively for welIdoing The maiu
danger to its efficiency will be poll
ties and place hunting, which like
the little rift within the lutte will
slowly widen and create breaches il

OF all the various fctious emanat-
ing from the annexation camp during
thu present campaign, the following
imputed by the Washington Even
ing Star to his Ex. .Excellency Hon.
Lorrin A, Thurston, popularly
kpown as the Hoodoo Snowman, is
about as absurd as it is untrue.
Thurston is made to say that "The
natives are joining the (snuexation)
movement with the idea, that the
annexation OF the islands to the
United States is their only SALVATION
from the Japanese, who are elbowing
them in variDus fields OF labor" !"
Every Hawaiian knows this to be
a falsehood, aud scarcely one Of
those who have perfunctorily sub
scribed to the rolls would give this
reason even for the purpose OF
deceiving The Hawaiian prefers
the japanese aud the Chinese to the
American for they receive fairer
aud better treatment from them, If
the government and the annexation
crew are so sauguine about the
opinions of the Hawaiian, why, in
the name of common sense do they
not call for a plebiscite aud have
the question decided one way or
another, There will be neither
political peace nor commercial
prosperity until we know under
which ruler we are going to live.

officials are selling jobs TO working
men. We are also told that the
President felt highly indignant and
promised to investigata the matter az
once. But why only look after the
petty officials, Mr.. Dole. Is it not a
fact that there are high and i'm
portant officials appointed by
cabinet officers who simply are
collecting old debts from their
employees. Is Mr.. Dole not aware
of such a state OF affairs9 Or must
we refer him to the fact that he has
some very disreputable officials
somewhere aourishing commissions
signed by him aud paying fair
proportion Of their selaries to

he ought to go to w. o. Smith

sweating houses or Asiatic and sew
ing machine cheap labor, We notice

we can carry plenty OF that class OF
freight. Moreover it is so convent

enabled to use one as a cigar light.
We believe that folly was occasion
ally com mitted in the golden era OF
Hawaii when Poker was King and
Sugar his sweet haudmaiden. Alb

Treasury is an oath, rifle aud
a swetering uniform or a peaked
German cap.
