Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and l
want it done at once no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
80 near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

WHAT THEPRESS BSAY|NG
ADVANCING TELLING FACTS FOR
ANNEXATION.
The Big Metropolitan Dailies Are
Nearly All Strong for lt-Bright
Sayings by Bright Men.

The nature of British objections 20
the annexation of Hawaii to the Unit
ed States constitute one of the
strongest arguments why the islands
should be taken in.-San Francisco
! Chronicle
The American flag over Hawaii will
be better defense for the islands than
half a dozen warships charged with
maintaining an uncertain protector
ate.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Japan has TROUBLES of her own in
Asia. She is not likely to leopard her
national existence by engaging in a
war for the possession of Hawaii. If
the opponents of annexation have no
stronger weapon at their command
than fear of the americans of the
! Orient they might as well abandon
the field.-Chicago Times-Herald.
1t may be tGt Liliuokalani's sud
den and vociferous pang was due to
|
having a diamond jubilee had vanish
ed Washington Star.
EX-Queen Liliuokalani whines, Eff
teen hundred people are giving away
my country" And why does she en-
phasize it my country?" She gave it
away long ago and swore allegiance to
its rulers, and they have ruled more
wisely and more to the satisfaction of
the people than she or any of her pre-
ecessors.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
English objection to the annexation
of Hawaii is, of course, based on the
broad general principle that every
thing that ISN'T nailed down is mere
ly waiting for Great Britain to take
it.-New York Journal.
If Hawaii with its two volcanoes is
annexed Senator Tillman ought to To-
cate there, so as to have all the United
States volcanoes bunched.-Chicago
Tribune.
One of the enemies of Hawaii jumps
up to say: THE annexation of Ha.
wall promises to give Uncle Sam IA lOt
of territory to cover with very little
ground to show for it," And yet the
Sugar Trust would give millions tc
keep the product of that little
ground" out of their way. That ''lit
tie ground" is good ground and it has
the good water and harbors that Tn
Gle Sam needs.-Chicago Inter Ocean
. 1T is well understood that England
can not afford to quarrel with the
United States, but one day the game
of tail-twisting may be tried on some
nation that has not an open Canadian
frontier, and the consequences may
be surprising. Even poor broken
down Spain could make things very
ugly in Cuba, and in the Pacific Ha
Cuba. The japanese are probably
more friendly to the United States
than to any other state, but they make
no secret of the fact that they do no
intend to allow Washington to annex
: Hawaii. Leaving out of the consider
alton the native Hawaiians, who art
melting away with disease, the Jap
anese are the dominant element, indus
trially and commercially, in the
island, and a recent attempt to stOI
further Japa lese immigration was
promptly me by the dispatch of two
japanese wa ships. The American Al
miral on t re station tried a little
bounce, bu was referred by the Jap
anese Admiral to his Government

al great a sinner in food exports as the
United State.
The ,Agrarian press Just now uses a
very aggressive tone against the United
States In the last issue of its Official
correspondence" appeared the remarks:
"The Yankee in his arrogance and
hatred of Germany knows hardly any
bounds. The United States sought many
occasions during the last few years to
quarrel with Germany. The unjustifi-
able differentiation against German su-
gar and salt and the levying of tonnage
fees upon German shipping speak elo-
quently in this respect If this could
happen under President Cleveland, how
much more may we expect under Nc
Kinley? Yet we are expected to bend
our necks to them"
The exports to the United States under
the last quarter of 1896 show a general
decrease compared with those of 1895,
except in sugar which shows a big in
crease.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. "a change

Chief of Police Crowley at the request
of the Australian detectives, but this

ing a warrant for Buffers arrest. That
changed the complexion of affairs, Chief
Crowley was at first inclinedl to with

This Afternoon Chief Crowley COM

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 9.-Unless cor
rupt methods prevail the senatorial con-
kins. The present senator is sure of the
full caucus vote on the Republican side
and he will probably get few more
from his own party. On the Democratic
side Asemblyman Mead of Los Angeles
says he will vote for Perkins If his vote
should be desired. Billy Hamilton, Per-
kins' campaign manager declares that
eleven other Democrats have promised
to vote with Mead should ii he neces
sary to do so in order to save Perkins
from defeat.
Assemblyman Melick's bill to amend
the fee bills of county clerks, will, If
passed, be a blessing to about two thou

A CHANGE OF BASE
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-(By Asso-

States senator to suIeed George c. Per-
kins has been transferred from Sacra-
mento to this city. The opposition to
Senator Perkins has been busy today
endeavoring to- select an available man
upon whom to concentrate its strength
Several names have been repeatedly
men ntioned in this connection, the most
prominent being Irving M. Scott and
ex-United States Senator Charles n.
FELTON,. Neither of these gentlemen has
as yet given a definite consent but it is
considered certain that some dark horse
will be found and nominated in the as

TAXING YALE COLLEGE.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-The New Haven
tax assessors today took very import
ant step in the direction of taxing Yale
college, asserting that the Yale authori-
ties have refused to hand in satisfac-
tory list and made out a schedule of their
own. The List foots up $439, 1872. A costly
law suit is thus apparently at hand be
tween the town Of New Haven and Yale
university, which, if resulting unfavor-
able to the university. will cause II to
pay taxes to the amount of about $780,
600 year as contrasted with about S1o-
COO which it now pays.
