BY the Miowera the other
/ day, we received direct from
the factory, a magnificent as
Sortment of French China.
Among the lot we have two
new stock patterns, from
which customers may select
either one piece or ten
dozen. In this way Gus
toners may replace any
breakage at the lowest pos
Sible cost and without the
necessity of purchasing an
entire new set.
In this same invoice we
have some of the most beau
tifully decorated toilet sets
ever shown in Honolulu.
These are made OF fine
crockery and will ornament
any wash stand.
A fad among Honolulu
people is decorating china.
At the exhibition by the pu-
pills of Miss French at Oahu
College a short time ago, some
neutrality-suspicious., the work
of herpupils, were shown and
will stand comparison with
the work of professional art
lists abroad. Our stock which
was opened a day or two
ago contains all sorts of
pieces and in many sizes.
They are made especially for
decorating and are ineXpen-
Sive.

The following is an extract from the
Cycling West Of Dec. 10th. 1896:
1T EXPLAINS ITSELF.
The popularity OF the Cleveland
bicycle is ever on the increase and
every day sees some crack racing man
dispose of his old mount in order to
become mounted upon the speedy Gle
veland. More races have been won
upon Cleveland's in recent meets than
upon all the other makes put together.
Among Cleveland riders who have rid
den their popular mount to victory are
the following: Champion Terril, Chas.
Wells, Harry Terrill, Whitman, Mott,
Crafts, Vincent, Russ, Williamson, the
Noonan brothers and many more too
numerous to mention
The Cleveland is as Strong az 1t is
Fast; that has been proven time after
time in Honolulu. Why buy another
machine when you can get the best
for the same price.

Won't you be a gentleman? A large
consignment of the 1897 machines will
arrive on the Australia. They are
better than ever.
We would like you to call at the
agency and inspect them.

Providence, R. l., November a7.-The
drugs which were Struggled into this
country on the yacht Tomahawk, owned
by Gilbert M. King of this city, were
formally condemned in the United States
district court today. The drugs were
found in several sections Of the state,
King having confessed to the officers that
he had struggled them. There has been
no prosecution as yet, and it Is likely

SEALS AND THE TARIFF.
Sir Louis Says Sir Wi1frid Has Not SUI:
rendered Anything.

Toronto, Ont, November 27.-Sir Louis
H. Davies, at meeting of the Liberals
| here last night, referred to his recent
visit to Washington to attend the seal
conference. "The seal EXPERTS he said,
"settled the question of fact in such a
way that hereafter it cannot be opened
up. We know exactly where we are.
| We know that the seal heard has d.
unfinished in an extr aordinary degree in
late years, but we know that pelagio
sealing has diminished more than the
herd by q far greater percentage. We
know, too rs declaration of the experts
| Of both countries, that there is no i'm
mediate danger of the extinction of the
herd and that the kind of pelagic sealing
practiced by Canadian fishermen does
not imperil or threaten the existence of
the herd and we know further that as
a commercial venture, it does not pay
either country. That is about the sum
and substance of the case.
at was pointed out to the Americans
that Canada had taken her stand in ref
erence to her tariff; had proclaimed and
given effect to preferential trade ar
rangement and that the representatives
could not enter into any agreement
which should directly or indirectly preju-
dice the principles of preference. They
were told that the right to catch seals
being q national right, vindicated by the
great Paris tribunal, as a legitimate in
dustry on the part of British subjects,
could not be disposed of for mere
money consideration; that Canada did
not sell national rights for money, but
that her representatives were willing
that it should be treated as one of q
number of large questions and put, as it
were, in the hodge poge in the settle
ment. If the United States could see
their way clear to admit our lumber,
to make coal reciprocally free on both
sides, to make fish, salt and fresh, free,
and also such articles as barley, eggs,
potatoes and other things of that kind.
an arrangement might be come to which
would be mutually profitable and salts

other the people. The more complex a
government, the more tasks it undertakes
the less likely it is to fulfil its chief mis-
sion which is to establish justice, ensure
domestic tranquility and to provide for
the common defence. We imagine that
its other function to promote the
personal welfare is in large part per-
formed when it has attended faithfully
to the other three things. There is such
a thing as the government, as we'll as
the individual, having too many irons in
the fire. This is an objection affecting
the government more particularly. More
important and more especially affecting
the people is the objection that.every
function performed by the government
tends to narrow the field of private
enterprise and conflne the individual with
in closer limits. The greater the freedom
of every individual, SO long as it is not
incompatible with the rights of the
mass, the better. We know there is in
some quarters growing demand upon
the government to do all sorts of things

Office holders, and this constitutes anoth-
er objection to the postal savings bank
scheme. This would not be so great an
objection now as when the offices were
treated purely as party spoils and clean
sweep was made at any election, but
our civil service system is even today
far from being so perfect and secure as
to make it safe to put upon it this ad-
| ditional strain.
These objections would be pretty seri-
Gus ones in the face of strong public
demand for the postal savings bank.
But there appears to be no such demand.
The subject has been discussed in a
desultory sort of way at times for many
years past, Just as has the control Of the
railroads and telegrsphs, but the present
agitation has been brought about entire
" by the Postmaster General who formu-
lated o scheme and offered it to the
newspapers as subject for debate. The
savings bank depositors in this part of the
country at least have not been complain
ing of the savings banks, on the contrary
they have been constantly proclaiming
their confidence in them and their salts
| faction with the results they produced in
the strongest.way possible, by depositing
their money in them. The present agita-
tion has not sprung from the people or
upon 5any one who can fairly be claimed
to represent them in this matter, but
from a government officer who apparent
ly has been inspired as much by curiosi-
ty to see how scheme he had formulat-
ed would take as by anything else. I'm
til Congress gets far better evidence than
is yet forthcoming that the people want
the general government to take care Of
their accommodations it had better allow
the. matter to lie dormant. 1t has enough

If the Hon. David Bennett Hill strug-
giles up again he has got to do it in the
face of violent opposition. Croker has
practically repudiated him and this
means good deal, for Croker carries
most of the Democratic votes of New
York in his pocket and can deliver them
wheresoever he wishes. But Croker is
net his only enemy. another influential
Democrat has been pitching into him in
this fashion. alleging that he is giving
not merely his own opinion, but that
entertained by great many other Demo
Gratis of prominence:
IF Mr.. Hill had made public ap.
pearance during the campaign he would
have been hissed from the platform. He
deliberately forsook the judgment of his
old friends in the campaign last year.
He went to the Chicago national conven-
ton hand in glove with his old enemies
IN the Democratic party, and at the con
vention he forsook his old friends. On
his return to New York state he was
worse than Quiescent. He is man of
very marked ability. He is one of the
York. He is an honest man. No faint
OF jobbery has ever been found on him.
He is an ambitious man. SInordinate
ambition frequently results in personal
corruption. No such charge can be made
against Mr.. Hill. He is a politician for
politics sake. But he plays too fine a
hand. His old friends in the state do
not want to forsake him, and yet the
feeling against him is so tremendous
and so penetrating that he must perforce
remain under cover for some time to
come"

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK SERENE.

One objection, ard very strong one
it seems to US, to the postal savings
bank project is that it is going to add to
the already numerous and complex du-
ties of the government, another duty
that of taking care of the savings of the
people-and curtail the opportunity of pri-
vate enterprise in doing it. 1t may not be
true that that governmental policy is best
which has the least paternalism about
it, but we think it is true that that poll
cy is best which leaves private enterprise
to provide for the wants and needs of
the people. whenever such provision can
be made equally we'll in that way, and
this for two reasons, one affecting the
goyaznzae more particularly, and the
