with reference to the exemption of
sugar duties to the United States
was struck out. What a gloom that
cast upon the Islands. For those
few months there was very little
doing. Me- chants and store keepers
complained and there was a con-
tinual cry of no work from the
laboring classes. As soon as the
Annexation Treaty went into the
Senate the reciprocity clause was
restored for time, until the Annex
alton Treaty should be either
ratified or not, and for that period
our prospect y was saved. No
sooner was that clause assured than
there was an immediate revival of
business, and with the prospect Of
annexation that rivival has almost
been i'll the nature of boom. But
the hostility to that exemption
clause is only dormant. If we do
not get annexation in December
there will be a determined and sue
cessful effort to denounce the treaty
Of reciprocity, and then as with a
puff of wind our prosperity will
gently but sure float away.
Those who believe that, if we do
not have annexation. things will
continue as they are, are living in a
FOOLS paradise. Things are pros
porous, dividends are goods, it is
hard to realize that there will be an
end to the years of fatness all that
years of leanness are at hand.
This is only another light to look
at the annexation question from.
With these Islands it is annexation
or financial crash, and all will
suffer from it, whether Royalists or
annexationists. Annexation is
Hawaii's sheet anchor, and all
should unite in praying that it may
not give away.

Tariff
Vagaries.

In the United States the Government
allows a rebate to the manufacturers
ON all agate ware shipped out of the
country. 1t is one of the fine points
in the tariff question, and enables the
foreign importer to compete with the
dealers i'm the United States in the sale
of these articles. 1t makes it possi-
BILE for our customers to buy such
goods from us at lower prices than
they can buy them in San Francisco.
The appended list shows but few of
the articles in this line sold by u.s.
and where more than one price is Civ
en- it will be understood that the
price is graded with the different sizes
of the articles. In every instance you
will observe that our prices are much
lower than the same goods may be
bought for at the Coast. These prices
are taken from the catalogue of one OF
the largest House Furnishing Goods
dealers in San Francisco. 1t is bona
tide, and the goods are identical in
quality as those advertised in the cat
alogue. 1t is hard to believe that the
people of HONOLULU 100 miles from
San Francisco-can buy such goods
for less money.

EVIL INCURABLE.

The New York Sun reviews the
article of Mr. Proctor, which has
appeared i'll the Forum, ana cites
important arguments which the
President of the United States Civil
Service Commission advanced in
favor of annexation. One OF these
is worthy of deep attention After
clearing the ground of flimsy objec-
lions the writer says:
1--WE have to deal with existing con-
ditions. The only objection now
made to annexation is based upon the
fact that there are in the Hawaiian
Islands a good many Chinese and ia
panese who are untitled for the func-
tons of self-government under our
institutions. Mr.. Proctor's answer is
that having annexed possessions OF
France, Spain, Mexico and Russia,
with their alien people, customs, and
laws, and having incorporated them
with ease into our political system, it
is matter of trivial Importance to
us whether there are a few thousand
more or less Orientals in Hawaii. If
there presence there is an evil. it will
prove, with annexation, a diminishing
one; without annexation, it might be-
come incurable."
That last sentence is key note.
1t S note question of might be, "
but it is question of will be" in
durable. If the United States does
not annex the Islands they must
drift under Asia,ic domination.
This has been shown again and
again in these columns. If Royalism
ever got footho d here it would
drift that way. The Asiatic evil is
a menace to the United States,
which she can prevent now, but
which t will be impossible to curb
III the future. IF we do not get
annexation it will be ruin to us, and
we are but small matter
after all, but it will mean a
menace to the comme ce of the
United States which will affect
millions, and the day will come
when the names of those statesmen
who have opposed annexation will
be a hy-word throug htout the
States, for without annexation Pearl
Harbor will become the home of the
Japanese 'warship.

THE ELECTION.

AS there is no opposition to the
candidates of the American Union
Party, on Oahu, the vote will be
light. Unless men have the stimu-
lous Of party strife they do not feel
the need of casting every vote, and
if business intervenes, they will not
consider it absolutely necessary to
record their approval of what they
know is a foregone conclusion. A
light vote will, therefore, be no
criterion of the political feeling.
1t is pity that there are no
opposition candidates, but it is evil
dent that what opposition there is
it did not feel strong enough to put
its strength to the test.
On Kauai the situation is the
same, and that electoral district will
also poll light vote, but in Hawaii
and in Maui there will have been
quite struggle today, and in the
Hilo district the competition will be
close and keen, though there seems
little doubt that Mr.. James will be
one of the successful candidates.
The House will, as a rule, con-
tain conservative men, who will
look after the interests of their
respective districts and of the gen
eral welfare, and the Legislature
will be in the interests of true pro-
gress. The platform of thea. U.
P, is good one to stand upon and
its planks will not be forgotten as
the session progresses.

Continual kinking, together
with negligence in allowing
hose to remain attached to the

makes hose crack. The Red

to stand all this and fills the
bill to perfection as well as a
long felt want.

A letter from Joseph M. Poepoe
appears in another column. He asks
Senator Morgan pertinent question
which Senator Morgan will give a
clear and distinct reply to. 1t is
better that the Senator should make
that reply in person, than that it
should be made for him by anyone
else. The reply will come with the
more telling force from his lips than
from those of any other man upon
the Hawaiian Islands.

ANOTHER VIEW.

1t seems difficult for some people
to realize one fact, and that is that
if we do not have annexation we
shall not have reciprocity, and that
if we do not have reciprocity at
least one half of the sugar planta-
tons will be ruined and those that
remain will yield very different
dividends to what they do now,
and there will be general shrink
age Of incomes.
Those who inveigh against an
nexation will be among the first to
complain should we be so unfortu-
nate as not to OBJ ain it. Very little
effort will picture the condition of
affairs, AS the weaker plantations
close down there will be numbeIless
employees coming to the capital
without work, and seeking what
cannot be found. Laborers will be
thrown out of employment and will
form discontinued class, from
which there will be actual danger.
Among those who have investments
in sugar, incomes will either cease
or become so much smaller as to
entail hardship upon people who
have been accustomed to be free
handed with their money, and have
not been accustomed to look at every
quarter before it is expended.
This country has been so pros
porous in the past twenty years that
it is almost impossible for people to
realize that the we'll spring of
prosperity will dry, up There is no
more uncomfortable place to live in
than place which has been pros
porous and where the bottom
suddenly drops out of the tub. Our
well spring can dry up and our tub
can become valueless so quickly
that those who do not take warning,
and who blindly believe in our luck
lasting. will awake to very terrible
realization of a very unpleasant
fact
If this sudden shrinkage in values
will affect classes who have made
investments in sugar and other
industries, it will also seriously
affect the laboring class. Work is
now plentiful here. A man who
wants TO work and is fit to work
can get work. Along the wharves
are hundreds OF men earning good
wages. Ships are coming into our
harbors bringing the products of
other countries and taking away
our own. Building operations are
bright, and improvements are going
on in all directions. All this is
going on in the belief that annex
alton will come. But if annexation
did not come, where would the i'm
provements be? where would the
ships be ? where would the work be ?
gone-and what is clearly the mos,
important, where would the good
wages be 4? gone too.
If people would only pause and
think, they would see for them
selves how important annexation is
to the community. In the middle
of the year when the Dingley tariff
bill was under discussion the clause

The Liar From Astoria.

When the big log raft arrived in
San Francisco an Historian was at
the wharf and saw it arrive, asserts
the Historian of Astoria, Oregon. He
says he never saw such a crowd of
surprised beings as that which lined
the docks. Among them was a man
from the East, who CHANGED to be
standing beside the individual from
Astoria and gave vent to his Won
der at the sight of the great raft by
pumerous expressions which had a
tendency to show that he did not
know what he was talking about.

the greatest thing | ever saw in all
my life! Why, look at that monster

where they built that raft, and, of
course it does not surprise me. Why,
you ought to see some of the timber

wouldn't believe it. Don't know as

just to give you an idea, | will state
that they cut down one tree up
there that made enough lumber,
pickets and shingles to build whole
town and fence it, and they've still
got logs enough lett to put up a bull
ding as big as the Palace Hotel.
The butt of the tree was hollow, too,
for distance of about $50 feet, and
as it fell right square across deep
gulch, they used it for a bridge.
Four teams drive through it side by
side. By little hewing out. they
can make foot-path on each side
