Wheel in New Year.

Manager Clement Of the Cyclic
mere Park has been unable to resist
the cry from the enthusiastic bikers
in Honolulu for "some more," and
no has decided to arrange some ex-
cellent races for the evening of New
Years Day.
The LIST of January is always the
day of good intentions, and it is to
be- hoped that the 1000 people who
will gather at the Cyclomere Park
on the evening Of that day will fol-
low suit and "swear off" scorchiug;
promise to use bells on their wheels;
have some considerations for pede-
strians during the coming year; and
don't bother non-riders with persist
ent and tiresome bicycle talk,
Mr.. Clement will open the regular
session of the 22nd OF January when
all the good intentions" will have
heen used to pave the road to the
Cyclomere, aud number Of crack
riders will be here and compete
with our local wonders.

cal development which gave TO us
the Louisiana territory, Florida and
the vast domain acquired from
Mexico. 1t has been our strength
aud the cause OF our progress.
Since the beginning of the century,
with standing army at no time
numbering more than 25,000 men,
we have extended our institutions
over more territory than has been
added to any other nation, though
others have had thousand soldiers
to our one, and have aggrandized
less territory, at an awful cost OF life
and treasure. Why should we
change now? What we have is
scarcely exploited. 1t will sustain
dense and homogeneous popula-
ton 1t has resources worthy OF the
keenest enterprise and promising
the greatest rewards. Why should
we change to a policy that, under
the specious name of manifest
destiny" puts us in that path OF
false glory which has always led to
the grave of nations2
These are considerations which
should be carefully studied by Am
ercan statesmen. They were pres
ent in the councils of the founders
of this republic and should not be
absent from ours.-S r Call.

IN HOLD ATTIRE.
A Magnificent Wedding Feast at
the Hawai- an Hotel


Mr. Price, us N, and Miss Banks,
young American lady who with
her parents arrived here from the
East few weeks ago were married
at high noon to. day at ST. Andrews
Cathedral.
The wedding party proceeded
from the Cathedral to the Hawaiian
Hotel where elaborate preparations
for reception had been made by
Manager James.
The decorations were extremely
tasty and have rarely been equalled
in Honolulu. The Waikiki side OF
the Hotel resembled a beautiful,
rich, private home and not a hostelry
The improve ments and changes
made at the hotel during the pres.
ent management we're seen to great
advantage on this occasion.
The stairs leading to the great
hall from the Beretania street side
we're covered with soft carpets OF a
warm color, aud the bslustrades
we're entwned with festoons of
pink pond lilies and MALE. A
bridal bow of white satin ribbons
was gracefully arranged over the en-
trance to the hall, where palms and
ferns we're artistically mingled.
The big drawing room WAS similarly
orn amented and at the Waikiki side
a slightly raised dais was erected
for the use of the bridal couple dur
ing the reception.
In the lanai an elegant banquet
was served, covers being laid for 100
guests.
Manager James deserves the great.
est credit for the excellent manner
in which everything was conducted
on this occasion. This is the first
wedding feast on large scale which
has taken place at the Hotel for a
long time. 1t should be followed
by others when the papas of future
brides will realize the great advan
tages of avoiding all the trouble
connected with home feast by cele
bratiug at the Hawaiian Hotel anc
leaving all the details to Tom Jane,

Foreign Complications

lu the attitude OF Germany and
the ambitious designs OF the Kaiser
we may SEQ reshadowed the inter
national results OF the annexation
OF Hawaii,
When il is claimed by annexa-
tionists that such policy is neces-
sary to our commerce and to our
national welfare, it must be remem-
bered that other nations have abso-
lutte equality of right to protect
their commerce and their national
welfare.
Germany has made dem0nstra-
ton on China, which apparently,
wells her designs on Samoa and
Hayti.
If we take Hawaii we sacrifice all
the moral power of protest against
German absorption of the other ISL
and countries. IL we stand upon
the Monroe doctrine the world must
heed our protest. If we abandon
that safe ground by taking Hawaii
we must take our place in the com
pany OF the grabbing nations, which
wipe out small countries and over
ride the wish OF weak peoples, I'M
der the pretense OF protecting
themselves. In that case our pro-
test must be backed by naval and
military establishment equal to the
country that maintains the strongest
standing army and spends the most
of its peoples substance upon war
like armament. In other words, we
at once plunge into the maze OF
European complications and lose
the advantage we have so far enjoyed
OF isolation and a purely continental
policy This is perfectly underst' cd
by every European Government,
and is their reason for passive atti-
tude toward the annexation Of Fla,
waii.
II that policy succeed We must
look for a very rapid increase in ouI
standing army and finally to al
the changes in our Government,
which always follow chronic mill
tarsm.

Speaking Of pink reminds me that there

and nearly all the dancing dresses now be,

other and sometimes of three shades in

say that hussar braid trimmings may now
be purchased all ready made to sew upon
dresses or coats. They look 50 easy to make
that some ladies have bought braid and
tried to do them, but with unfortunate re-
suits. These sCmimilitury trimmings be-

in fashion now and probably will remain
so until next winter. MATE LEROY.

tnaJ uay at Ieast, stalks up to the town
hall with the same look ON his face. He
is there to see that the sewer appropria.
tion goes through, for he lives Oh Wash
inFtOn street himself.
The purely political rivalry is seldom
strong. The few Offices which are TO be
filled carry with them small salaries, a
good deal of work and a modiCum Of
honor. Party lines are seldom drawn,
and when they are it is with q slight
tension. The town clerk is about the
only officer who is paid a salary upon
which he can live, and ne is generally
reelected from year TO year In one
Massachusetts town this Office was held
by members of one family for more than
100 years, father, son and grandson sue
ceeding each other for three generations.
The town meeting opens early in the
forenoon, and little time is wasted in
preliminaries, The first business is al
ways the choosing of the moderator, or
presiding officer For this post some
cool, clear headed citizen who has had
some parliamentary experience is So
lected An ex-mcmber of the state lcgis-
lature or even an ox-congrcsman re-
CARDS it as a personal tribute to be chosen
moderator Of the town meeting. Begin
ming with article the business indi-
Gated in the call is taken up in order.
Article 4, for instance, reads rs fol
lows, "To see whether the town will
appropriate $50 for the purchase Of 40
feet of new hose for the engine com.
pany.
When this article is taken up, the
foreman Of the engine company rises
and explains how necessary to the equip
ment of the fire department the new
hose is and incidentally relates how,
when Silas Smiths house took fire
two months ago, it was found that the
hose on hand was barely enough to
reach from the hydrant to the scene OF
the disaster Then the town grumbler
gets in his work.
"Mr. Moderator, " he says, addressing
the chair, II want to ask right here il
the town didn't buy 100 feet of new
hose only last spring What's become Of
that, hey?'
Hose don't last forever, rctorts the
foreman Of the engine company, land
that 100 feet took the place of what was
busted muster day two years ago.
''Then, Mr.. Moderator, why don { tho
Neverreadys stay away from muster:
and keep their hose whole?"
There is a good natured laugh al
this thrust, but the appropriation goes
