FROM THE LIONS LAIR.

1t is not always wise to huy all
our thought-food in one market, es-
pecially as the majority of American
newspapers are so apt to wilfully
pervert the truth aud to indulge in
gross exaggerations as we'll as mis-
representations. Consequently The
INDEPENDENT gives its readers clip
ping from the st. James Gazette,
an influential English journal:
eff the Japanese begin sending
war ships to Hawaii, American jim
goism may find a new outlet. The
relations of the United States just
now with Hawaii are peculiar. Pre-
sident Cleveland declined to annex
the island, and the American Senate
refused to allow him either to re.
store Queen Liliuokalani-These
States could never sanction the re-
storation OF the monarchy-or to
censure the American Consul Gen.
eral who, anticipating DR.. Jameson's
methods, but without mourning the
reprobation meted out to British
raider, had in a most undiplomatic
manner got up the revolution which
deposed the hapless Queen, and put
in her place the present Republican
Government under President Dole.
The actions of Mr.. Stevens in this
matter has curiously escaped the
notice OF the jurists and moralsts
who have paid 80 much attention to
the raid upon the Transvaal; but it
was precisely on all-fours, with the
one exception that the American
Government has condoned the ille-
gal and high-handed conduct of its
agent. Since the revolution the State
of Hawaii has by all accounts gone
from, bad to porSe. The precise reason
for Intervention on the part Of
Japan is at present unknown. But
the United States may find the jap
anese navy rather an awkward Gus
toner to tackle, il rupture occurs"

Our "P'tite Bois."

Delightfully."- enjoyable and charm
ingly sentimental was Makee Island
last evening with its beautiful bosqy
surroundings mellowed by the moon
light, and the sorrowful sea beating
time to Captain Berger's melodies
which'he had selected in a spirit Of
harmony with the scene, and the
band boys helped him out with a
will; although the audience appre-
ciated the numbers very highly they
were 10th to desecrate the grove
with too much vulgar applause.
"First Love" on cornet, the "Rose
Of Shiras" and "Auld Robin Gray"
touch chords that do not harmonise
with hand clapping. The Mall was
well patronized with carriages, cy-
cles and horses with their occupants
and riders, and the premiere lounges
were the soft sloping banks OF the
brimming river where soft
nothings" were apparently very sat
isfactory if not particularly brilli-
ant or lucid. Yes, the Makee Island
concert on cool moonlight even
ing is most valuable institution
that should be imperishable.

We gat her from the Advertiser
that "as result OF a Court martial
on the Philadelphia last week two
sailors were discharged from tho
service and sent ashore, 1t is not
known whether or not they had the
fifty dollars required by law" This
reminds us OF a story, which reads:
A certain man in Honolulu went up
to San Francisco to purchase swine,
aud requiring help 10 caring for the
auimals during the voyage secured
the services Of two men, who, for a
free passage aud other trifling con-
sideratiou, were willing to undertake
the voyage aud required service.
Upon reaching Honolulu the two
men we're turned ashore. The au-
thorities OF this Sunny little repub-
lie" waited upon the importer OF
swine and demonstrated with him
for allowing the men TO land, as
they ha not the required $50. All
expostulstion proving vain the gov
ernmeut official said: Well, you
tell the two men that if they will go
to the barracks and enlist in the
"grande armes" nothing more will
be said about the S50-and they
went. Possibly the two Philadel-
phia men have enlisted?

will save you in actual cash
results, alone, at least $40 a

dairy work profitable and
satisfactory instead of the

in time and in labor, and IN
ICE AND WATER, and
that is important in view of
the scarcity of that element,
and a threatened drought. 1t

an increased butter value, aud
while giving a much superior

market, AMI we can by special
arrangement sell them at re-
duced prices. The "BABY"

easily operated hand machine,
simple enough for a child

home use. There are other

In an article describing the pro-
posed addition to the Bishop
Museum, the Advertiser says: "The
poison god Kalaipahos, that excites
so much terror in many OF the Ha-
waiian visitors, is made to do service
as the keystone OF the eighteen
arches around the rotunda." The
terror that is excited in the minds
Of Hawaiian visitors is fgment
from the diseased Imagination Of the
curator of the Museum. But If it is
the purpose OF the Trustees Of the
Museum to terrorize Hawaiian
visitors we can think of nothing
more effective than the fixing Of
gargoylos on the exterior OF the ad
dition bearing the visage of the
curator OF the Museum.

Dole's republic he will make a new
departure from American politics.
The old saying that "it is better to
be an Englishman's dog in foreign
country than citizen of the United
States," will become obsolete, and it
will probably be necessary to invent
a new proverb to the effect that in

by the representative OF the Mikado
than by the men supposed to defend
and represent the interests of the
Anglo-Saxons ON both sides Of the

Joseph s tlisbury and his three sons, who recently went from Aspen to Holy Cross, Eagle county, to mine, have struck
 it rich. The E Lgle County Blade of last week says new and rich strike has been made this week in the Great Western and Great E tstern mine at Holy Cross, under lease and bond to Joseph Sllis- bury and sons and M T. R0wley. The new strike is in the shaft on the Great Western, slxty-six feet from the surface. Former operators of the mine in sinking the shaft followed the vein, which pitches into the hill slightly. Fifty three feet from the surface the present operators began straightening the shaft, expecting when sufficient depth had been reached to drift to the vein At the time MT. R)wIey left the mine the bottom of the shaft which is about six feet in width, was all in ore, an eighteen inch streak of which will run 400S in gold to the ton. Beyond the ore exposed in sinking, it is not known how wide the vein may be. The ore carries 32 per cent excess ot iron, and the indications are d genuine bo- nanza has been encountered-Den News.

The great expense of the various coun- ties in Arizona, as in all other states and territories, is the criminal court calendar, and all laws looking to economy in gov ernmental affairs dA is first with this question. Councilman H 4kes of Mari copa county has been giving this ques- tlon considerable study, and he believes abolition of the grand jury would remedy many of the glaring bills piled up in county affairs at present, or if not the total abolition of thls system, regulated grand jnry system which would lessen the burdens of taxation. Mir. flakes thinks that the jurisdiction of justices of the peace should be enlarged so as to al- low them to settle al! petty ofenses now held for the action of the grand jury. There is heap of good common sense in the gentleman's suggestion, and we hope to see some of them crystallized in to laws.-GAzette.

The CIoUerIeqfs Reception.

Last Thursday evening the most nove ] reception of the seaaon was held at the Com nerclal Hotel by "The Cloverleaf," " the three leaves of which are Mir. Chas O'MalIey, Mir. James T. Langford and Mir. Almon Paddleford The affair was so original that it will bear description.
 As most attractive invitations were issued a week beforehand and an air ot exceeding elegance seemed to distn. guish the preparations, the expectant guests were prepared to be surprised and they were.
 Carriages and flowers had been pro- vided, and the ladies appeared in even ing dresses as follows: Mrs. Foster Den his cream nuns yelling, crimson carnA tions; Mrs. A. Yer Mehr, pearl colored silk, red and white carnations; Mrs. R Taggart, silk waist, black skirt, crimson cArnation; Mrs. Bessie Mccoy, black cashmere, white lace, pink carnations ; Mrs. Chas. Metcalfe, cream null, pink carnations; Miss TAggart, white swiss, rosebuds and violets Miss Bowman, cream challi, red and yellow carnations Miss Goodman, yellow silk under black and gold illusion, crimson carnations Mss Elsie Taggart, brown silk, crimson carnations; Misses Frankie and LAllah Potts, white lawn, white ribbons, white carnations. The gentlemen were Messrs w H. Taggart, Chas. Metcalfe, L Las sell, M4ynard H art, and Walter Abrams
 After pleasant reception in parlors and 5 supper was announced, and to the strains of sweet stringad music the guests filed into the dining hall, plcturing in their minds perfumed fountains, set in fern banks, garlands ot roses, and feast 'm1d the choicest NApery cut-glass and silver
 When they had entered shado W seemed to "fali athwArt for things were well, different!
 A long pine tibe filled the center of the room it's covering was of drawn" work (drawn trom White Hills) decorated with fringed knots (pine knots) The center-piece was picturesque soap weed, |, assisted by mesquite branch. Cactus, greasewood, and alfalf. had also been reckle5 5sly used in the table decorations The place boqnets were stalks of tired looking alfalfa
 The first course was soup, fl tvored with oysters, the walters having deftly re moved a single oyster from every plate as the guests entered. Sliced onions and hash came next; then there were "roAst spuds." The menu read; baked beans, roast pig and apple sass. The desert was pie, with put forks, and coffee. The liqnids were Colorado river water, cou taining nine kinds of microbes, and a microbe killer prepared by Pabst. The wines were "put of sight" and remained so; but everything in sight was con sumed with avidity and at the close of a most enjoyable meal fngerbowl toast was drunk to "The Clovereaf"

4 Brilliant Opening.

Last Saturday evening Col. Harley Fay threw open to the public his magnlf- icent saloon on Front street. The build Ing was blaze of vari colored lights from ba .ement to garret, and the hand some bar was picturesquely decorated. Three barkeepers, attired in robes of of flee, dispensed the nectar of the gods and some with which the gods in early days were unacquainted.
 The spacious building was crowded from twilight 'tlll early dawn by hosts of friends of big hearted Col. Fay.
 Mile Minnie Ellworth, late of the Tiy ola, San Francisco, enraptured the great audience with music and song. She has magnificent voice and made a decided hit.
 The crowd was jolly one and enjoy ment was what it was after. In all the private rooms was grouped little knots of friends who occasi onally tested the cleo tric connections of the house and found them in thorough working order.
 Those sportiveiy inclined will find it unnecessary to go to Africa in search of biz game, as i's abode is here, and Maj. Smith presides over it with the most win some of conferences.
 Col. Fay's opening was success, fl nancially and otherwise, and the tact that he has one of the best mixologists on the Pacific coast-genial Charley Bax ter-contributed greatly to the desired result. May he continue as successful in the future as on the opening night.

The short distance that the rock fell saved his life. MT. McClel- Ian came into town and Is under the doc tors cure. It will be sometime before he recovers from the effects of the injury
