ONE THING NEEDED.

An English hotel paper lately
advocated the providing of good
hotel accommodation in outlying
portions of the British possessions.
1t stated that the moneyed classes
were becoming more and more
adventurous and disposed to look
farther sfield than ever for
pleasant places in which to spend
a few months. Therefore it thought
that the colonies should see that
adequate provision was made by
them in respect to hotel and
boarding house accommodation.
This is matter in which there is
room for the display Of enterprise
in these islands. While there are
tolerably good hotels here for
transient visitors and travellers
staying few hours, the accom-
mediation and comforts provided
are not adequate for attracting
wealthy people who otherwise
would come here to get the bene-
fits of our climate months at a
time. The great seaside hotel of
Honolulu is yet to be provided.
1t should have spacious and
pleasant recreation grounds about
it; large rooms and suites Of
rooms; cuisine capable of sup
plying the very best of fare at all
times, and suited to the varied
appetites and whims of both gour-
mands and delicate people. AR,

Timely Topics
ON THE
TRIBUNE" 1897 WHEELS,
ETC, ETC.

We have just received our
1897 TRIBUNE WHEELS and
invite inspection. We have
them both for LADIES and
GENTS and we have plenty of
them on hand and more on the
way.
The 81 Tribune is an i'm
provement overits predecessors
and is second to none. Among
the changes made we might
mention the increase of the
upper frame tube to 4 i-8 in,
and the adoption of one inch
tubular seat post, secured by
clamp, retaining otherwise the
same folm of forging into
which the rear tubes are brazed.
The crank fastening is also i'm
proved, and secured more posi-
lively by the use or a small
key instead of clamp screw;
the matched corrugationS of
the shaft and crank are retained.
We are selling ~ Tribunes
at $40.
For a good, strong, durable
wheel for every day use we
have the "STORMER.' 1t is a
cheap. wheel for the money
and will be found quite as SER
viceable as some of the higher
priced ones. 1t is the 81 pat
tern and has all the late i'm
provementS.
We also have a few EMMY"
wheels on hand, which we are
closing out at S45. They are
cheap at double the money.
We carry a full line of bicy-.
Gle sundries of all kinds, such
as wooden handle bars, shoes,
pumps, ETC., at reduced prices.

The entertainment and bazaar
given on Saturday afternoon and
evening in the grounds of Emma
hall were big success, financial
ly and otherwise. The great at
traction was the Japanese play,
given in a tent erected for the
purpose. 1t opened with sword
dance. The characters and scene
ry were entirely japanese, enough
of the wording to understand the
plot being given in English. 1t
was novel and unique affair and
the tent was filled both afternoon
and evening. The Government
band was present during the
afternoon, and in the evening the
grounds were brilliantly lighted
with lanterns, there being a
double row of them all round the
grounds. japanese goods dis
played on the upper floor of the
hall fosnd ready sale, as did the
tea and other refreshments dis
pensed at the various booths.

JAPANESE RIOTS.

Evidently there is need of Civ
ing the Japanese laboring classes
in this country some wholesome
aud enduring lessons in the law OF
riot and unlawful assembly. Agi-
tators who encourage them in i'm
pudeHt interferences with the ad-
ministration of our laws especially
should have the strict and sharp
attention of the authorities. The
other day when the Alien Act, a
law as plain as a pikestaff, was put
in operation with regard to ship.
load of japanese immigrants, and
the matter was referred to the
courts by those who challenged
the way the law was applied, a
"mass meeting" of japanese who
had not a particle of interest in
the matter was called to "con-
slider" the action of the authorities.
All who had anything to do with
converting that meeting should
have been promptly arrested and
put through course of sprouts.
That meeting was just as disord-
erly in its true nature as would
have been the assembling of a
mob OF Europeans to consider"
an arrest for any crime or INSIDE
meanor in the Penal Code. Now,
we have the Maui riot on hand,
where 800 Japanese demand the
lelea5e of parcel of their coun-
trymen charged with murder, on
the ground that the entire mob
were equally guilty of the crime
charged with those arrested.
The least that should be done
with all this crowd is to have them
peremptorily shipped out of the
country. This Government ought
to ask the Government of Japan
as friendly act to make procla-
nation through its representative
here, warning the Japanese in
this country that they must abide
by the laws, avoid all show of in
reference with their execution
and, in cases of grievances, refer
their troubles to their national re-
preventative instead of parading
in force to intimidate either their
employers or the public authori-
ties. Deportation Of all who vio-
lated these conditions should be

WHAT A FLOP!

For four years. the Advertiser
predicted that the incoming of a
Republican administration at
Washington would at once result
in the annexation of Hawaii. Now
that the conditional event has
been realized, the same paper de-
clares its opinion that the conting-
ent event is indefinitely postpon-
ed. 1t has no evidence whatever
upon the question, further than
some purported"i nformation" from
persons" in Washington, "who
are quiet, but keen, lockers on
without personal interests in these
matters" How extraordinary that
Indifferent spectators, as those de-
scribed, should have taken the
trouble to inform anybody in Ho-
nolulu of a matter SO important to
all who live in this country !
Stranger still that information
from so unauthoritative a source
should be so eagerly accepted, and
purveyed to foes as well as friends
of the cause, by journal that has
all along boosted itself the prime
champion of annexation! AS a
matter of fact, the Advertiser has
had no information" of the kind
stated from Washington regard
ing the prospects of annexation
under McKinley's regime. All
the arguments it dishes up as
newly minted reasons why the
Hawaiian question will be treated
with indifference-such as the
preponderating matter Of cLrren.
cy, the even balance of parties in
the union, the beet sugar activity,
etc.-were not unforeseen nor, the
BULLETIN thinks, unprovided
against by Hawail's representa-
tives at Washington. When the
latest mail advices left that CAPT.
tai, all interest was centered in the
closing work Of Congress, in the
Arbitration treaty, various appro-
priation bills, etc., together with
speculation as to the extra
session, Mr.. McKinley's earliest
executive acts, his inaugural ad-
dress, and so forth. The
latest Geographic news was
all taken up with the closing of
Congress, the Inauguration of the
President, the composition of his
Cabinet and discussions of the
nature of the tariff revision for
which the extra session was call
ed. Today Congress is assembled
for that special work and until
now it can only have been guess
work as to what President
McKinley's policy in detail,
or the tone and temper of Congress
on any important matter will be.
What is known regarding annexa-
ton is that the Republican party
platform, on which Mckinley was
elected, declared for perpetual
American control of the Hawaiian
Islands, and that many of the
ablest Senators and Representa-
tives in both great parties are in
favor of making that control no.
thing less than the protecting folds
of the American flag over this
country. American statesmen
doubtless realize that the degree
of control hitherto maintained
over the Islands has had price
attached in the form of COM
mercial privileges exceptionally
favorable to Hawaii. They

for they were there by hundreds; but, as
usual, 1 was guided by moderation and
took only enough for use at our table and
for museum specimens.
In an immense cave at the north end of
the island, which local tradition states was
once the hiding place of Bluebeard when
he cruised these seas, were hundreds of
great bats, and one / shot measured 90
inches across its outstretched wings. In
the old castle, also, they swarmed in the
vaulted chambers, creating by the tapping
of their wings n sound like the roaring of
q storm vexed sea. The castle walls were
the haunts as well of large lizards, with
now and then tarantulas and scorpions,
for, being within the tropics, this bit of
paradise had the annoyances as we'll as the
delights of regions near to the equator.
On Sunday, the day after the parson and
I had shot the deer and guinea fowl, I at
tended services at the little church. The
sermon was powerful, the preacher eloquent
and earnest, but perhaps neither of us gave
a thought to the brace of fat birds and
the haunch of venison to be served at early
dinner?
Full many a time and oft have thrust
my feet beneath West Indian mahogany in
the course of several years travel in those
islands, but never with greater satisfaction
than that first Sunday of the new year at
the hospitable board of my friends, the
parson and the planter.
One should kill his own game and work
hard for it to fully appreciate it's flavor;
should wash 1t down with good wines and
have good company to share it. All these
concomitants were mine that day, and
many days, until the killing of the game
became finally secondary consideration

pleasurable events of the waking hours
have often come near TO envying my
good friends their peaceful, patriarchal life
in their beautiful insular domain, and
recall with gratitude the pleasures they
made mine in the rides and walks, the
guinea fowl hunts by moonlight, the deer
stalking in woods and old fields, and finally
the home seeking after hours of toll in the
heat, the cool evening air, fragrant with
the delicious odors of Transplant and acacia
blossom. FRED A. ODER.

week in plays, sleighing, skating, games,
theatrioals, hunting and attending the
Jvening entertainments anywhere at the

frolics are diversified with all the old fash
toned amusements they can hear of, from
barn dances In tho evenings to straw rides
In the daytime. Necromancy, magic,
ghost parties and fortune telling, tossing
apple skins, naming chestnuts, eating salt
ed eggs, floating apples, drawing straws
from the stack, etc., make up variety
that affords endless fun. New Years in

of the most beautiful of the many palms
which grow in South America. In the

heads of fruit, called by the natives
"negro heads" each of which weighs
from 20 TO 20 pounds aud holds many

How Fractional Currency Came Into Use.


In 1869 small silver change was very
scarce, and people could not find me-
dunn of exchange for small transactions.
Change had to be taken in groceries,
vegetables, etc. General Spinner, treas
urer of the United States, was appealed
to for change. There was no law under
which he could produce small currency,
so he ordered large quantity of post
age stamps, FASTING them ON different
sized pieces of paper to represent differ
ent amounts. This was dubbed postal
currency" From this General Spinner
got his idea Of fractional currency and
applied to congress for the right to
make it, The facsimile of postage
stamps was put on each piece of cur
rency. and for long time it was known
as postal currency"
