Ho|Iister Drug Co.
Anchored.

Anchored is what the man said
when he dropped into the Anchor
Saloon. Why? said his friend.
Because you can always get a
cool refreshing drink served by
gentlemanly attendants, and if
you happen to drop in during
lunch hour you will be RECALLED
with solids as we'll as liquids. In
fact the lunch at the Anchor is
said by many to be the best in
town. The celebrated Seattle
beer is on tap. 1t is sparkling
and ice cold. The finest of wines
and liquors in town are to be had
at this popular resort,

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
III the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa
looms. n

A couple of seasons ago the
sealing schooner Agnes Mac

the boats were out when the
smoke of the Russian was seen
on the horizon. The captain,
cock, cabin boy and one sailor
made all the sail they could. The
schooner then ran for her boats
and succeeded in taking them all
aboard. Everyone then turned
to, setting every piece OF canvas
that would catch the wind. The
Macdonald sailed right through a
feet of other sealers, signaling
them to "git." For four hours the
Russian cruiser put on all his
steam to overhaul the flying Mac,

were told afterward that the
commander of the gunboat swore
he would capture the Agnes Mac

it, and wrote the name on his cuff

be pretty calm day if the Rus

An agent of a new-fangled churn
stopped at farm house and insisted
that his churn would get two pounds
more butter out of certain amount of
cream than any other. The lady of
the house to get rid of him told him
to come around the next morning and
try the churn and if what be said was
true she would buy. In the meantime
she churned the cream, and when he
came, she poured buttermilk into the
churn. He churned for an hour, and
then told her there was no butter fat
in the cream. 81 know it," she said,
''for churned it last night, and left
the buttermilk for you to get your
extra two pounds from" And the
agent was mad. It was a fair test,
but the agent will never attempt so sell
another churn to that lady.-Dows

THE NEW YORK SUN ON FINANCE

The New York Sun now comes out
and say that the only way to properly
retorm'our monetary system is to do
away with the national bank currency.
The Sun is right. The government
alone should issue the money of the
nation, and the secretary of the trea-
sury should be given discretion enough
so as to be able to fairly adjust the
volume issued to meet business re-
qulrements. The abolition of national
banks is really of as much if not
greater Importance than the free coin
age OF silver. For with a we'll ad-
]usted system of government paper
money, both gold 0nd silver would be
RELOCATED to innocuous desuetude, ex-
cept for minor change. The Suns
proposition is an advanced step to-
ward the ultimate goal of this issue to
wit: A scientific system of a paper
medium of exchange. We hope the
republican party will heed the good
advice given by their great metropoli-
tan organ. G. j.

THE HEROES ON CUBA.

The greatest sight of the age is that
war on Cuba. The whole island is
covered by corpses and smoking ruins.
Weyler, surnamed the butcher, has de-
stroyed over 1000, 900 lives, it is said.
Children, women, and the aged and
feeble are the ones he has wrecked
his vengeance on, however, and not
the Cuban soldiers in the field. These
pasiticos and non-combatants the but
cher has gathered into the towns and
literally starved to death. 1t is be-
yond imagination of ordinary civil
lized people that such inhuman and
worse than savage cruelties can be
committed at the end of the nineteenth
century by a being in human form.
And it is still more astonishing that
this country, within hearing of the wall
of the tortured and dying women and
children, can stop it's ears and refuse
to even extend cup of water to the
expiring martyrs for the inalieuable
rights of men.
Our attitude towards the patriots on
Cuba is a pretty good gauge of our
progress in civilization and humanity.
A little over one hundred years ago the
fathers OF this nation were in the same
fix exactly as the Cubans are to-day.
Our patriots cried for help, and help
came from across the Atlantic from
a monarchy. One would think that a
nation could remember it's own expert
ence for one short century, and be in
spired by the most noble events in it's
history. Not so, however, with this
nation. In our magnificent material
progress, we have forgot all about the
principles of humanity. A wave of
the hands of Uncle Sam, one emphatic
word from our executive would at once
stop all this inhuman slaughter on this
unhappy island. The common people
with some sentiment of humanity left
have been anxiously looking for some
such move. Alas! they are looking in
vain. It is just dawning on the people
of this country that the presidents
hands are, must be, tied someway.
And the people stand still shuddering
at the frightful spectacle and asking
if there is a benign providence in
charge of this world, or whether our
much Wanted progress is not back
wards to savage barbarity. CT.
