THE DARK HORSE

While the Advertiser clique in one
breath demands the governorship of
Hawaii for Dole, and in the next
assures Us that Dole is not a candi-
date, and that iu fact he wouldn't
take anything not even fat salary
or a red hot stove; and while the
American Union party is booming
Sewall as the only man for the
gubernatorial seat, the wires are be-
ing pulled very lively in Washing
ton, and there are candidates for he
highest executive office of the Ha.
waian Territory to be found ad
galore. We thank the Argonaut
for the following sympathetic re-
marks, which appear in its issue of
the 10th instant:
The Argonaut limited some
months ago that our Hawaiian
friends might not find the path of
annexation hung with male and
pical flowers. We ventured timidly
to foreshadow the appearance in
Honolulu of the American carpet
Dagger We said we feared that
those patriotic gentlemen who erect
ed the Provisional Government and
overthrow the Royalist Government
might not get the offices when Ha-
wali was made an integral part Of
the United States. We even ven.
tured to hint that numbers of al
truistic statesmen had their carpet
bags packed ready to start for
Honolulu, and that many of the
aforesaid carpet bags bore the le-
gend, "Ohio,"
1t pains us now to be obliged to
| point out to our Hawaiian friends
that there seems TO be grave danger
that these predictions may come
true. 1t gives us additional grief be-.
cause ONE of our journalistic friends
say that the Argonaut of late has
been iudulging in oveimuch boast
ng that it's predictions are coming
true. Perhaps the best cure would
he for our Journalistic friends to
prevent these predictions from
coming true, But however that
may be, the many tongued telegraph
now ticks out (from Washington
the distressing rumor that Minister
Sewall aud President Dole are bitter
enemies; that the islands are rent
and torn with their dissensions;
that they are fighting for the terri
torial crown; that such is the bitter
ness Of the quarrel that Mr.. McKin-
ley says the only remedy left is to
appoint an "outsider" as governor
of Hawaii. The Trustworthy tele-
graph further says (from Washing
ton) that this outsider is to be Zone
of the foremost Of Ohio's politicians,
gentleman high in the councils OF
President Mckinley, man who has
only to ask for the position to OBJ
Tain the appointments, and that he
IS only awaiting the report of the
commission to make known his
candidacy"
1t would give us great pain il all
these rumors were true, Those two
worthy gentlemen, Minister Sewal
and President Dole, have done so
much to bring about annexation
that it would seem unjust now to
deprive them Of the prize Of govern
ing the territory which they have

with it, but it will be unfortunate

wHALERs VS. MISSIONARIES.

Parker is quoted by the Chicago
Times Herald as saying, in referring
to the missionaries in Hawaii, that:
They saw no good in the native
and tried TO graft on their own type
of Christianity. They failed. The
natives were in the end broken in
spirit aud became indolent.
The Advertiser, in commenting on
Colonel Parker's words, says:
The country that sent the mission
aries to the natives, also sent and
substantially submerged them un-

THE cowARDLY ADVERTISER.

1t will be- remembered that on
Saturday last some soldiers of the
Honolulu garrison got into trouble
and were arrested, aud that on Mon
day hey were tried, found guilty as
charged; and sentenced by Judge
Wilcox, who took the opportunity
To express the sentiments OF the
whole community 10 regard to the
conduct OF the military detachment
stationed here. The Advertiser next
morning reported the remarks OF
the judge ia more or less correct
manner, but certainly not verbatim.
The substance of the judges speech
was fairly well reproduced, but
words were reported which were not
used by the judge, and Others were
omitted on which he put special
emphasis.

Were homes never broken up
through the missionaries and their
sons and defendants even to the

open its doors to these reckless and

tributed to the B-thel and to the
mission, could do what they pleased

Cloth Made from Wood.

The making of wood into wood pulp
and thence into paper set inventors
to thinking, and a result is the dis
cevery of the Transformation Of wood
fiber into strong and handsome cloth.
The wood is boiled, crushed and the
fbers separated in parallel lines, dried
and spun, the same as cotton or wool.
Oak, hickory and locust make very
handsome cloth, while bamboo pro-
duces one that is almost iron-like in
its strength and elasticity. The cost
of the new process is not large, but is
still little above that of converting
cotton or linen into substantial tissues

The cost of the house would vary con-
siderably, according to the locality in
which it was erected, but a fair aver
age cost would be from $500 to 81, 900,
although it might be cheapened in sew
eral respects to the extent of several
hundred dollars if desired.

New Glnss-Etching Process.

A new method of etching on glass or
porcelain has been patented by Herr
Retzlaff, of Berlin. The usual German
process consists in cementing sheet
OF tinfoil, and washing away the &C.
ment. The improved plan is to per-
form this operation more simply and
perfectly by chemical means. The pat
tern is printed or stenciled in grease
coiors on the tinfoil, which is then
fastened to the glass by asphalt; and
the prepared plate is placed in an acid
bath that dissolves out the exposed
parts of the foil. The asphalt is then
washed off, when the glass is ready for
etching in the usual way.

dency of the human mind to allow that
which is disagreeable, plain or ugly to
go without regard, and accumulate dirt
and disorder. Consequently every part
of the house should have as much care
bestowed upon it as the living rooms, to
render it bright and cheerful and as
obviously clean as the more important
rooms. Persons possessed of moder-
ate means often make the error of build
ing too large house at the sacrifice of
the details of both the exterior and in
terror finish of the building. 1t is a
natural propensity in most of us to
strive to get as much as possible for our
money, and in house building, perhaps
more than in any other undertaking,
are found opportunities to judiciously
expend or waste money.
