glimpses of the stung brute clawing

A Blue Streak.

This is an old expression,
"going like a blue streak. "
The Tribune bicycle people
have taken it up and are
manufacturing a bicycle by
that name. 1t is all that it's
name implies, being painted a
bright shade Of blue, and so
easy to run that the rider
looks when passing like a
blue streak.
We received a shipment of
them by the last steamer, and
they are now ready for in
spection and sale. They come
in three models for ladies and
gentlemen at $65, $85 and
500. 1t is not necessary to
reiterate what the good points
of the Tribune wheels are.
Every bicyclist knows that
they are a standard make and
one of the best wheels ever
put upon the market. They
will stand more hard usage
and more rain and mud than
any other make.
Our stock of TRIBUNES
is complete. We have them
in Black, Blue and in Black
Striped with Gold.
Awhile we advise all custom
ers to pay a little more money
and get a standard make, yet
for those who do not wish to
put so much money into a
wheel we have imported a
Columbus wheel, ladies' mod
ell, and a Jimmy, mans mod
ell, which we can sell you at a
much lower price. They are
very good wheels, strong, and
made Of good material.
1t costs nothing to call and
look over our stock and we
are always pleased to show
you what we have on sale.

ANNEXATION NEWS.

Hawaiian annexation will be carried
by Joint resolution. The Senate COM
mittee on Foreign Affairs has been
authorized to report Il favorable res
olution is means that the annex
alton of the Islands is very near, for
it is known that Speaker Reeds atti-
tude toward the matter will be favor
able to putting the matter through in
a short time. Both the Senate and
the House hold strong maiorities in
favor of annexation and in the pres
ent crisis of affairs with Spain, it is
unlikely that much time will be vast
ed over the matter.
Senator Davis report on the matter
is very clear and comprehensive. He
cites the advantages which will ac-
crue to the United States, and further
cites what are the obligations of that
country to the Islands. He shows
with force the opportunities of other
nations to establish themselves upon
Jne lSldHtS. anu pplll'S " lhV IdN'
that at best three nations are ready TO
jump at the chance, if the United
States lets it go.
In spite of the gloomy vaccinations
of those who have opposed anneNn-
ton the second string to the bow has
been fitted and it seems to fit re
i. a,
ceived seem to regard the consumm"-
ton of the annexation as near at
hand. and that the curtain is to rise
upon a new era in the Pacific, with
the United States easily occupying
the main part of the stage.

THE AALA PARK.

The bill for reserving land for II
public park at Aala was sent back to
the Public Lands Committee of the
Senate yesterday, for the purpose of
having the Committee and the the
Executive consider the question of the
reservation.
There are two considerations in
such matters. The future advantage
to the public and the present advant-
age to the treasury. The latter means
a policy of scraping every dollar for
the purposes of present needs. The
former means broad policy of uu-
selfshness which looks forward to flu
ture needs. and supplies to the poor
those breathing spaces and public
Fairgrounds which make life pleas
ant and endurable to those who have
to live in stuffy rooms and within re-
stricted limits.
That Honolulu will grow, there can
be no doubt. and, knowing what we
must know about the growth of cities
is it not wise, nay more, is it not our
duty, to provide for that growth. In
this, the Greek city builders, the Ro-
mon city builders, far eXceled the
modern. To them public buildings
and public parks We're a necessity, and
not only did each city appropriate law
ishly out of its funds for such purpos-
es, but private citizens We'd with one
another in supplying similar advant-
ages for their fellow citizens. a man,
as the poorer Roman, might have to
sleep in a garnet. but, when he came
forth in morning, he had palaces to
live in. He had public gardens. mar
BILE benches. fountains. He had mag
nificent baths. free OF cost. He had
beautiful statuary to please his eye,
and to fire his Imagination with the
glories of his race. His life though
sordid, did have opportunity of seeing
what was beautiful. He could breath
the pure air amid trees and flowers.
and the children had an ideal play
ground.
Medievalism knocked the classic
beauty largely out of life, and utili-
tarianism has done away with more
of it. Civilized as we are we should
do our utmost to restore some of that
beauty. Nothing that we can do in
that way is better or more advanta-
geous that beautiful park in CEN
trial position. It's very centrality is
its greatest advantage and its great
est charm. 1t is to be hoped that the
Committee and the Executive NAV see
their way to an agreement upon a
point of great Importance. The "Auri
sacra fames," the keen hunger for
gold, should not be considered too
carefully.

at the present moment it is our sheet
anchor, while we await the fiat of the
United States as to the annexation of
the Islands. 1t is this which makes
conservative men stand by the pres
ent Constitution unyieldingly, it is
this which makes all arguments, how
ever specious, powerless to turn them
from their allegiance to it as a harmo-
NOUS whole. Let this go entirely and
the same men will then talk in differ
ent lines. But the time has not come

THE CONSTITUTION.

The House yesterday laid aside the
proposed amendment of Article 81 Of
the Constitution, which proposed 10
increase the number of Representa-
This probably ends the attempts to
tinker with the Constitution at the
present time. During the present
session there have been three of these
attempts. First. to change the oath
and take away the clause rejecting
monarchy in set terms. This occupi-
ter part of two days. Then, there
was an effort to restore Government
aid to sectarian schools. which was
defeated after a mornings debate,
and lastly, the attempt of yesterday
which occupied two mornings Tn {
can all be counted waste of time.
OF the ultimate success of the meas
ures there was never any doubt. If
by the narrowest of maiorities The,
could pass the House, there was no
hope for them in the Senate. Mulc-
over there had been no popular cry
for these measures. There had been
no agitation for their passage either
in the country districts or in Oahu.
The members brought no petitions
from constituents who were suffering
under the "iron heel" of these arti-
Giles in the Constitution.
AS has been stated before in these
columns. it was the merest gallery
play. Representative Robertson went
further. He said that the gentlemen
who supported the amendments were
the unwilling tools of the party
which was inimical to the Republic.
that party that would rejoice to see
the Republic laid aside and return
made to that system of government
which has passed from these Islands
for ever. 1t begins to look very much
as if Representative Robertson is not
far wrong in his surmise. Upon these
matters much valuable time has been
wasted to little or no purpose and
some acrimOny has been engendered.
In our present condition of affairs
il is Grass folly to tinker with the
Constitution at all. because we are
by no means sure where we stand. If
we are annexed, the present Consti-
tuition will disappear If we are not
annexed, and the hope of annexation
be entirely laid aside. matter which
cannot be decided for two years at
least, the Constitution will need en-
tire revision, and any little changes
attempted now will have no weight
upon the wholesale changes which
will then become necessary.
The corner stone of the present
Constitution is the annexation of the
Islands to the United States. Every
thing in the Constitution is made to
link with that, If that center stone is
knocked away, then great changes
will have to be made It is not that
the present Constitution is something
sacrocanct, to be looked upon with
awe, it is not that it is fawless, but

The Florence daily tribune., 1898-08-29

The Czarina of Russia has stir
red up trouble in the "hupper
suckles" of European society by
prohibiting smoking by ladies in
her presence. AS three queens,
an empress and the dowager
czarina are among the personages
who smoke, it can easily be
imagined that the mere nobility
of Russia are decidedly agitated
over the prohibition by the fas-
tidious or old fashioned czarina.
And not only in Russia but in
other lands across the sea, includ-
ing the realm of good old Vic" is
this latest imperial ukase causing
excited discussion. There are of
course, a great number of Ameri-
can women of good social and
eminent moral standing who
smoke. The writer has met them
in New York drawing rooms, on a
mountain hay ranch and in liter
airy and journalistic feminine
circles and yet his personal ac-
quaintanoe among the fair six has
not been particularly extensive.
But as compared to the Europ-
can sisters they are in minority.
To narrow minded or pharisaical
persons and to many very good
and fairly tolerent people also,
smoking by women seems akin to
vice. But taking a broad and UNI
preiudiced view of it, there is
really no reason why they should
not smoke in moderation that does
not apply with equal force to men.
In two of the cases that came
under the personal observation of
the writer, the American inhalers
of the fragrant weed had acquired
the habit for medical reasons.
Aud surely if smoking relieves
pain or distress, women should not
DO begrudged that relief simply
because it clocks queer. That is
the argument against it. summed
up briefly. Women on wheels
