Under the management of w.
Carlyle, assisted by James Olds, Jr.,
the Empire is continually making
improvements, aud it is rapidly be-
coming to be one Of the "tony"
places in town. Now that the new
ice chest is in place the Wielaud
beer comes up bright, clear and
sparkling and recalls past memories
when that beer was the best on the
market. The Empire has always
been celebrated for its old and i'm
ported wines and its liquors are
clean and pure.

ONE ON LEAP YEAR.

This is the latest on leap year: a
well known young gentleman declined
to call upon very charming young
lady living in Queen Anne town When
pressed for reason he said: "She is
too much like Ranie Beer. She's
bright, sparkling and pure, and so
full of life am afraid she will pop. {"

If you have passed our store
at night during the past week,
you have noticed lights burning
and the force of clerks at work
opening boxes and cases and
marking up goods. The Gus
toners took all of the time the
clerks had during the day, and
the only opportunity we have
had to get on with the work, is
at night.
Lots of novelties have been
brought by recent vessels from
the Coast and we are now ready
for our spring campaign. The
beauty Of our novelties lies in
their usefulness; there's no wear
out to them and each one fills a
want. The Primus oil stove is
the latest good thing to reach
here, and it is destined to revo-
lutionize the cooking industry.
1t burns nothing but kerosene
oil and on the principal Of gaso-
line but without the danger. The
Primus will boil water in three
minutes.
Manns's green bone cutter is
not Of much use anywhere but
in the poultry house, and there
it is a necessity. No other store
in Honolulu handles this arti-
Gle. Soap is wasted in the
kitchen, unless soap saver is
used. We have them made of
wire that are economic gems.
The Crown self-basting roast
ing pans are so well known as
not to require mention, beyond
saying that we sell them. The
same thing goes with our ice
picks-nothing like them have
ever been sold here for the
money or convenience. Exten-
sion toast forks belong in every
house where toast is eaten.

such methods Of parliamentary warfare.
THE REMEDY.
The Senate should begin at once. TO
reform existing conditions. 1t should lose
no time In putting itself In harmony with
the sentiment Of the country. Speaking
against time Is not debate. Neither Is
speaking TO empty benches. One IL time
improperly CONSUMED, the other Is time
thrown away Holding the floor and
speaking TO the Congressional Record Is
not always for the purpose or prevent
ing vote That Is exceptional. II Is
habitually done In sincere advocacy OF or
opposition to tho pending measure. When
one becomes Interested In subject and
knows there is no limit to debate he glides
easily along without measuring the mo-
menfs as they fly. One abuse begets an
other When long speeches are being de-
livered the chamber Is almost emptied.
Senat Jrs go TO the departments to attend
to tho business of their constituents or 10
their rooms TO keep up their correspond
ence. They will not remain 10 hear, nor
will they read the speech In the Rec
ord, and, however strong and luminous. IT
is lost
All this can be remedled by the adop-
ton Of the previous question In the SEN
ate rules. II the Senate would amend the
twenty-second rule and provide for the
previous question, which cuts on DEBATE
and amendments. and provide that wnen
IL Is moved there shall be entertained py
the Chair but two motions-one to fix the
day 10 which the Senate shall adjourn
and one 10 adjourn before the previous
question shall be putt will solve the
problem that has so long been vexing u,
and which has brought upon u 90 mucn
criticism. The conservatism OF the SEN
ate may always be safely relied upon 10
prevent the arbitrary use or the rule Inc
