First-class grocers include
among their patrons people
whose tastes run to the dainty.
1t may not pay the dealer TO
handle such goods alone but
if one of our 1900 customers
wants Armour's Sliced Bacon
in tins we feel under obligations
to that customer to keep
stock on hand TO supply his
wants. That's how we came to
order it first, one man wanted
it. Now our sales average
nearly q dozen cases week
and we seldom sell more than
one tin at a time-Armour's
goods are all right, particularly
his sliced bacon.
The best Block Butter is
worth half a dollar a pound
too high to use for cooking.
The next grade is California
sells for 25 cents;
still high for a large family
where much of it is used. A
kit contains rs pounds, we
sell one for $3.50 ard the but
ter is good enough for the
table. This is what you call
economy.
California Pig Pork is a
dellcacy here because more
and better care is given to the
feeding of the pigs. There's no
question about the quality of
the American hog and this
pig pork we sell is from select
ed young pigs, nothing strong
about it and not "a bad piece in
25lb. key. It's yours to try.
Other articles we recon-
mend = Salmon Bellies and
.Bloater Mackerel. They are
as great delicacy as can be
found-we swear by the
bloaters because they are prime
and fat-a single one if you
want it or q kit.

AS TO LABOR.

1t has not been to. palliate the
contract labor system of Hawaii
that this paper has called atten-
ton to the Arago decision of the
Supreme Court of the United
States. According to that judicial
Interpretation of American law,
sailors may be imprisoned for re-
fusing duty, where other American
wage earners would simply be
discharged. This is really the
only objectionable feature of the
Hawaiian labor system in itself,
but which has been regarded as a
necessary evil. The leading en-
ployers of labor in this country
are, however, using their best
thought to devise system that
will not have penal conditions.
Our object in commenting upon
the existence of a species of in
voluntary servitude under the
American flag, as advertised in
the Arago decision, has been to
show that the prejudice against
Hawaii in the United States, on
account OF this country's contract
labor, is not altogether consistent.
There is a similar blemish on
American liberty at home, which
should be cleaned off, before Ha-
waii is fouted any more with what
her people are striving to get rid
Of. 1t is commonly reported, too,
that the "involuntary servitude"
prohibited in the United States
constitution, but now judicially
sustained as an exception in the
case of sailors,r really exists through
methods of evasion in other de-
partments of American labor.
Contract labor much of a kind
with the Hawaiian article is said
to be in vogue in the iron indus
tries Of the South. There are also
other anomalies surviving in the
American labor system, making
the problem of civilization, in
some sections of the country, akin
in difficulty to that with which
Hawaiian statesmen are now try
ing to cope. Here is an instance
quoted from the Planters Month
ly:
The ease with which gangs of
Chinese may be hired for harvest
il the Western States has en-
couraged the maintenance of great
wheat farms that are untenanted
during nine months of the year,
and the same influence is seen in
the tendency to combine thou
sands of acres of fruit ranches
under one manager. Without
these Chinese, who camp in tents
and cook their own food, it would
be impossible to maintain these
great ranches, and they would be
