L. S. NATIONAL GUARD.

The recommendation of President
Cleveland concerning the National
Guard follow the line of expression
by the Secretary of War. Both say
that the organized militia is well
drilled, patriotic and devoting its time
and means freely for the public good.
Washington was far seeing and wise
when he told the people that in a
well disciplined and equipped militia
there resides one of the chief safe
guards of American freedom. The
militia is not an aggressive force. 1T
is of the people; it is their reserve po-
lice force, so to speak. 1t renders =
large standing army unnecessary; II
conserves the martial spirit to just
that degree that is essential among II
people who must be their own defend
ers.
The National Guard is the citizens
organized force behind the executive
for the enforcement of the laws and
the preservation of domestic peace;
it is therefore deserving of all encour-
agement.

For the benefit of the hurrying lay
man it may be stated that this is the
week of prayer all over the world. 1t
is a special seven days service or eff
fort in the interest of the churches,
the cause of Christianity and those
who are not disciples of The Christ.
In Honolulu the week has always been
marked by extraordinary devotion and
work. This year more effort than
usual is being made and all who have
the moral welfare of the community ut
heart should join in making the event
notable and successful.

CONVICT SER ACE.

The state of New York now has an
operative convict labor law which
permits the employment of its prison
inmates upon public highways. The
restrained criminals, it has been en-
acted can be used only in such work

State of Vermont has followed the eX-

institution in Hawaii. Visitors to
these Islands have commented most
favorably upon the country's use of
its convicts in road building and re-
pairing, They are kept at it the year
round, whereas in New York and Yer
mont but five of the twelve months
may thus be occupied. Hawaii has
been in advance in this matter, as she
has kept abreast in the road depart

tical. Convicts should not be utilized
against free labor or in the mechan-
zeal pursuits. But as the prison re-

The holiday season has been
one of exceptional and unex-
pected prosperity to us. For
weeks past we have been call
ing attention to fancy goods as
well as those Of an ornamental
character. We might have adj
vertised strictly useful articles,
but people as a rule, draw the
line at cumbersome presents
placed in the hosiery hung be-
sides the hearth. A Jewell
stove, for instance, would be
injurious to the average Homo
lulu stocking, but it would
have been most acceptable in
the homes of a great many
people here.
We have just received a
very large invoice of these
stoves in all sizes, from the
smallest to the largest made
at the factory. Our prices for
these stoves are so reasonable
that one Of them should be
in every home in Honolulu.
Our method of selling to
island customers is an innova-
ton to the people of the islands
the price of the stove in our
store is the same at any ship
ping port in the islands-we
pay the freight from Honolulu.

Our stock for the Christmas
dinner contains many essentials
that were not here for Thanks
giving. We are prepared to
furnish everything at low
prices and the best quality of
goods.
What we offer are things
hard to get along without
things needed for the big din

Apples, raisins and plum pud-

candles and holders. These
are things you need and can
not do without.

In Honolulu" says citizen of Hawaii now
tenn porarily residing in this city.
"What mean by this can be best illustrated
by story from history.
Some years ago the French attempted to
collect claim sgainst the Hawaiian Govern:
ment by show of force. Matters finally
reached point where the commander of the
French vessel in the barbor proposed to shell
the town. Before doing SO he called on the.
commander of the British cruiser stationed
there and suggested that arrangements be
made to protect the lives of British subjects.
"'If were in your place l wouldn't shell
the city said the Britisher.
But think will do it, just the same
said the Frenchman.
"'Wait till tell you something you do not
know retorted her Majesty's officer, 'and
then you may think better OF it. At the foot
of the flagstaff in front of the Kings palace
stands man. He is there all the time. He
has in his pocket an American flag. The
Kings Ministers have prepared deed of ces-
sion, transferring the Hawaiian Islands TO the
United States. The moment you fire on the
town or give notice that you are about to do
so that deed of cession will be signed by the
King. The stars and stripes VIII be attached
10 the halyards and sent flying at the top of
the pole. Then you are welcome TO fire upon
the American flag. il you wish TO do so.'
THE Frenchman thought better OF his
scheme, and Honolulu was not shelled.'

motor carriages. Sir Frederick Bramweli,
Mr.. Aspin wall and Dr. Hopkins, three Of
the most distinguished engineers in Eng
land, were appointed rs judges, and
seventy two entries were made. The
judges decided that none of the machines
deserved the prize, inasmuch as none OF
them was really practicable vehicle.
The Engineer, in speaking of the test and
the result, says:
The end OF it all is very dissatisfying and
disheartening, but it has cleared the
air. 1t has placed the world in possession OF
facts concerning the motor-car industry In
this country. There is at present no such In
dustry. There is no such thing as a thoroughly
satisfactory selfpropelled vehicle. If motor
car OF the kind had existed it would have
been submitted for comps tition.
This report from England will cast
some doubt upon the accuracy OF the
sanguine reports from France. French
roads are no better than those OF England,
and 1t is not likely their inventors have
been SO far superior to the English as to
make complete success where the Eng
lish have failed utterly. In the British
competition there were exhibited motors
run by electricity, and by steam with
various kinds OF fuel. The motors driven
by electric storage batteries were best, but
none of them would do the work required
OF them. The horseless vehicle. therefore.
like the airship, is something to be waited
for littla while longer.

A PROSPEROUS PEOPLE.

While Mr.. Bryan is going about the
country painting picture of adversely
and intimating that the American people
are practically in the slough of despond,
it may be we'll to throw the searchlight OF
truth into the matter and discover the
facts. Recent statistics demonstrate that,
notwiths tanding the American eopie are
not as prosperous as they might have been
and would have been if Democratic ad-
ministration and free trade experiment
had not temporarily checked them in
their progressive career, they have shown
steadily growing spirit of thrift, and
even during the late season OF financial
distress they piled up savings to an as
tonishing amount. Calamity bowling
cannot divert the popular attention from
evident truth. The American people are
growing more healthy, in a financial sense,
day by day, and, under the standard of
protection, they are moving forward to
an era of unexampled prosperity.
In 1S40 the average savings deposited in
savings banks was less than 81 for each
man. woman and child in the United
States. while in 1895. it was SIS SS. For
1896. 96 the savings banks of this country
showed deposits to the amount OF $1.907,-
156. 277, and depositors TO the NUM- Der OF
5,065, 494, an average of 1876 so for each
deposition. One out ofevery fourteen of all
| the 70, ,00U. 900 OF men, women and children
in this country has balance in some
savings institution. Bank deposits and
the number OF depositors have practically
doubled since 1882, and the per capita
average of savings quoted above shows
that the increase in thrift cannot be as
cribed wholly to increase OF population.
Even in the panic season OF 1893 95 the
deposits in SAYINGS banks increased SOS.
