Our agents have been in

have discovered the very per-
fection of a flexible CORFU
gated rubber hose. We have
tested it in every way by
twisting, punching, pounding
and cutting and and we can
not make it crack, or kink or
leak. 1t is undoubtedly a
marvellous and almost life last

it at present in the 3-4 inch
size, but then it is exception

is about the same price as the
three ply hose. Remember

A PECULIAR DEFENSE

The Advertiser which heret etofore
has avoided any reference to the re
cent fatal accident oa the Oahu
Railroad, yesterday told its readers
that the two men killed, were en-
tirely to blame themselves and that
they we're not employees of the O..
r. g. l.. Go. To prove the correct
ness OF it's assertion the Castle organ
says that "this testimony comes not
only from disinterested witnesses in
the case but from relatives of the
men themselves" The RELATIVES"
of the dead men, who have made
such statement we're jurors at the
6oroner's inquest, and any coroner
who understood his business would
have challenged them at once. Mar
shal Brown may approve OF in
quests where the stepsons OF de-
ceased sit as jurors, but we doubt
that he can show any authority for
such procedure.

We have been wrong in saying,
that the annexation of Hawaii, as
proposed by the Dole Morgan COM
bination would be conquest Of a
great power over small country,
unable to defend itself and without
the protection of any powerful
friend. The S. F. Argonaut pub
fishes au able article which we re-
print on our fourth page, and in
which it justly says, that the annex
alton of Hawaii under the present

puted by any one familiar with rail
road work But we cannot believe
for moment, that any OF these en-
ployees would, in their capacity as
railroad men, pronounce the line
safe for traffic. The bridge across
the stream below the Kameha-
meha Schools would be condemn
ed even by the General Boss"
If he could find time to walk across
it, and look at the difference in
size between the spikes and the
holes in the ties. We have no doubt,
that it is the wish of the o. r. & l..
Co. to have the road in first class
shape as soon as possible, and that
only the want OF cash prevents the
reconstruction Of the old track. But
it is pretty rough on the public to
ask them to wait patiently for
the repairs, keep on using the
road and be happy in the as
surance that 80 far no passengers
have been killed, and that, if they
are, the cause Of their fate will be
decided by jury presided over by
Mr.. A. Ksuhi and endorsed by the
new expert on railroads and flying
switches, the Marshal Of Mr.. Dole's
funny republic.

THURsToN's FOLLY

1t is to be regretted that Presi-
dent Dole's dscredited ex Minister
to Washington, Lorrin Thurston,
could not have been more clever in
distributing the fund contributed
for the purpose Of influencing the
Senate OF the United States in favor
OF the annexation of Hawaii. We
say that Mr.. Thurston's conduct is
to be regretted because it is now
highly improbable that other Sena-
tors or Representatives will come to
Hawaii. Honorable men will hesi-
tate to come under the suspicion
that Mr.. Thurston has paid for their
transportation, and that a commit
tee awaits them here ready to pay
their hotel bills aud hack hire.

conditions means not conquest
but simply a theft. To be con-
queror, to use the right OF the
strong and brave the dangers that
bold adventurers must encounter
will at all times gain certain
amount OF sympathy from the
world. For the sneak thief, the
bully or the highway robber there
is no sympathy. The Argonaut ad-
mits, that the United States would
be classed with one of the last
"trades" mentioned, and it. mildly
suggests that the thief, the bully or
the highway robber, should change
his spots and pay their victims the
value Of the stolen goods. The Ar
gonaut, however, admits that such
move would be unsuitable to the
jingoes and Alabama Morgan. 1t
would be altogether too honest and
throw discredit on the "craft' Of the
political robbers and bullies.

The Congressional party which
visited st. Louis College few days
ago, under the guidance of the
Minister Of Education, arrived when
the numerous day-scholars OF the
institution had gone home. The
minister evidently did not wish to
show the distinguished visitors that
the Catholic college is the most pro-
minent educational institution in
the country and that nearly 600
young boys are daily educated there
without the Government contribu-
ting one cent to the maintenance Of
the school. The visitors remained
less than ten minutes on the prem.
ises, when the minister hurried
them away. Considerable more
time was spent by the party at the
Government schools and institutions
which have not the misfortune to be
under the @gis of the Catholic Mis-
sion at the Pawaa hula, where the
Minister of Education and his visit
ing statesmen spent several hours.
But the hula was only sensuous
not secular.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-24

Mr.. Morgan, if sensitive gentle
man, must feel very keenly his posi-
tion as exposed by the maladroit
action of Mr.. Dole's agent, and is
entitled to the sympathy Of gentle
men who may differ from him on
the question OF the annexation of
Hawaii While the action of Mr..
Thurston may be common, as sug-
gested by newspaper, it may not
be commonly known to be SO, and
this fact makes all the difference.
An apology is due to the Senator
for Alabama.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-24

Again, Mr.. Thurston's blundering
must make it very awkward for the
members of Congress who left our
shores on the Australia, who will,
no doubt, be met in San Francisco
by the jeers of the gamins and tho

paid for your keep in Hawaii
While the gentlemen who have left
us run the gauntlet in San Fran
cisco with the best grace possible,
what remains for the Honorable
Senator for Alabama2 His influence
on the Hawaiian question when it
shall come up in Washington next
December must be very weakened
by the suspicion that he is an at
torney rather than a senator.

The Marshal, however, was salts
fed in his mind, that no person or
persons were to blame but the de-
ceased themselves. The Advertiser
and the Star are also satisfied, and
it is really a shame that the travel
ling public continues to take an in
terest in the killing OF the two Ha-
waiians, as long as no passenger has
ever been killed on the road. Is it
possible that not one of the people
patronizing the railroad is willing
to be the "frst" passenger killed
and thereby cause repair of the
road and the adoption of rules
which will insure the travelling
public and the employees against
all reasonable dangers? Ii the two
men killed, travelling on the train,
were in the employ of the planta-
tion and not of the railroad, were
they not passengers, and as such
entitled to the consideration, which
the organs Of the Railroad wish the
public to understand is always ex-

Of the former, they celebrated il by
taking a wsgonette and driving

the peculiar fouling OF their oppon-

more credit for the above

Every cheap money experiment ever
tried in this or in any country has dem
onstrated that. while prices respond
quickly TO changes in the value of
money, wages respond but slowly.
Hence, though wages appear to rise
when money is depreciating, they are in
reality falling. The difference in rapid
ity with which wages and prices go up
has been illustrated by prices going up
in elevators while wages walk up the
stair steps. 1t is certain that wage earn
ers always lose and never gain by being
paid in deprecated or depreciating
currency.

BIG ORDER FOR BEER.
Japanese Merchants Surprised By tho
King of Corea.


Japanese merchants Of Chemulpo, in
the kingdom of Corea, were very much
surprised recently when the king or
dered 10000 bottles Of beer in one lot,
SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle. The
entire Japanese colony was not pre-
pared for such sudden and extensive
order of beer and they put their heads
together, wondering whether il was
the court or the body guard Of the king
which had suddenly developed such
n gigantic thirst. a cable was imme-
diately dispatched to Japan and the
beer ordered TO be shipped at once, 50
that it might be delivered 70 the royal
master of the house in due time. The
beer arrived promptly, and at the same
time the explanation Of the conundrun
was given to the Japanese, for almost
on the same day Russian man-of-war
arrived there and the entire crew was
invited 10 be guests of the king OF
Corea- who thus showed his gratitude
10 the Russians for the shelter accord
ed him at the Russian embassy during
the recent revolutionary disturbances.
The 300 marines on board were very
agreeably surprised when his royal
highness sent 10000 BOTTLES of good
Japanese beer on board-that Is, 100
bottles per man-enough liquor TO
thoroughly celebrate the Russo-Corean
alliance.
