will eventually lead to revolution
OF commercial conditions in their

lies the only hope of peace
aud cool comfort in this sultry
weather. Given the proper
conditions aud joy may halt
unconfined under one of our
combination
LAWN UMBRELLA TENTS.
They are a necessity for all
well-to-do people who have
spacious and beautiful lawns
and grounds. Convenient,
portable and expansive with
round table in the
centre large enough for a
quartet or sextet to sip their
5 o'clock tea or for breakfast
or lunch, they make a very
handsome ornament for the
lawn. They are impervious to
the glare of sunshine or to
the downfall of rain. You
see them covering beautiful
girls in all the society illuStra-
tons of the life of the haut
ton, while for scoring tents in
match games they are un-
rivalled.
The Fo aiding Lounge
is another of those cool con-
vcnicnces So necessary for
summer weather. Made of
wood, iron and cane you can
arrange it in almost any posi-
ton to suit the comfort of the
human anatomy. With place
on the lanai near to the ham,
mock it makes a handsome
piece of furniture, while if
you happen to have an un-
expected guest, in a moment
or two you can arrange for
him, or her, a most cool and
comfortable bed.

OF course it is unnatural to sup.
pose that Mr.. Dole's personal legis-
lature elected by the planters, fami-
ly compact, the army and Govern
ment officials, and not by the people
OF Hawaii would ever consider such
a matter of obvious benefit to the
masses of the people, but then the
people invariably manage to rule in
the long run, and the indications
are that the Legislature OF two yoors
hence will not be controlled by
those who now by the treacherous
aid of a foreign Minister, and the
consent Of foreign powers, and an
tsgonistically to the wish OF the
majority of the people, rule over
Hawaii and cramp, and crush and
choke out the fading life of her in
dependence, her freedom and pros
perity.

Under a simple form Of Municipal
Government the departments Of
streets, health, police and licenses
could be more effectively aud more
economically administered than by
the National Administration as at
present. There is no necessity for
an expensive msyoralty or number
Of fatty paid corporation officials.
A simple plan founded on the early
American (when the United States
was American) system Of town gov
ernments derived from the English
parochial system would suffice.
Men Of honor, wealth and position
could be found who would feel
honored by dischsrging the duties
OF their honorable positions, free OF
charge to the taxpayers, il they
were elected to them by the suffrage
OF the people.
