The pimond Emporium.


The sporting reporter on our staff
was busy watching a rattle" in
saloon last evening", 80 it became
necessary for us to detail the girl
writer who meyer goes out at night,
to report the grand display at the
DimoDd store on King street.
at is just the place you want if
you want Christmas presents" said
the dear little thing after Willie
and his obliging clerks had shown
her over the place. "I-made note
FIRST OF the beer mugs which are
near to the entrance door, and
which wiltmake most acceptable
present TO all my male friends.
They will love "mug" and claim
they will only uss it for lemouade

it,.
Then Mr.. Dimond showed me tie
'rich" end of hiA store where sterl-
ing silver and beautiful cut glass,
Foley's Intarsio wares aud Papillon
crockery are displayed.
"This," said Mr Dmond, SIS a
beer mug, this en- ice cream sivar
spoon, this an imitation cut gltss
punchbowl, and these the knives with
which to cut the turkeys" Aud |
admitted that raw it all EXCEPT
the beer, the ice cream, tns punch
and the turkeys.
"That," said Mr.. Dim 9ud with a
graceful wave OF his hand is no con
cern OF mine. don't sell cigars in
any corner OF my store. | attend
strictly TO my line OF business" l
nearly blushed because thought
the horrid man had seen me taking
a small Whit OF cigarette but then
| remembered | was a hardened
newspaper girl and ready to look at
the beautiful lamps and globes
which Dimond is displaying, OF
course l don't like too much light
on tho subject, but there are ocoa.
sions when it is we'll to make a
seance romantic, and other tines
when you want full display OF
electric light on the fell)w, and
then Dimond's lamps will be at
premium.
When l looked at the sterling
silver ware felt that marriage is
not failure. Little beauties, those
spoons and forks; never mind
whether there is nothing to buy the
material with to be used by the pre-
ty little tools. i may mention here
that Dimond sells better goods in
the line OF silver ware at reason
able rate tn an any other firm in
Honolrlu.
was thinking about my house
when | do get married and | fell
in lovs with the artistic flower pots
which are on exhibition in the
Store. They are not costly, said the
boss, they are pretty said /. The
prices of Everything range,irom the
sterp Que due to sugar baron, to
those within the roach OF those who
are worrying over assetsable stocks.
The bronces aod fancy goods can
not be described by me. | wanted
to say sometiDg about the baaut;ful
selection In the store OF gems Of
arts when man asked me to go
upstairs and take look at the big
store OF children's toys. Asif | was
looking for toys for "kids." /
glared at the man aud told him
that / would tell the editor.
Then went up in the Elevator
and really the toy shop is every
thing that any child could wish to
be turned out in, and the prices are
more than reasonable.
Altogether think that | can ad.
wise people to call often and fre-
quently, ct the great emporium OF

and public institutions, and a system of
espionage was ~inaugurated which re-
suited in lodging hundreds of good Cit
liens in prison, with the confiscation
Of their property. No mans life or
property was safe II he encountered the
disfavor OF the miscreants who came
to the front as leaders. and. backed as
they were by the scum of the munich
pality. these uncrowned kings Of the
commune wreaked vengeance wherever
malice prompted. The leaders enjoyed
their power while it lasted. They lived
riotously at public expense. n their
word was law. A magnificent city was
at their mercy, and they profited ac-
cordingly. From communism there was
quickly evolved an absolute despotism,
and the despots Toasted and fattened
before the farce was brought to an
end by the troops Of the republic.
The soldiers Of the national govern
ment gradually retook the city, driv-
ing the communists before them until
the last remnant Of the latter were
finally ~cornered like rats in the eastern
part of the city. Paris was in dread
full throes. The insurgents, maddened
by reverses. were desperate. and organ-
ICED incendiarism began. The Tuiller-
les, the Palais Royal and the Hotel de
VILE were fired, and through the dev-
ilish work Of the petroleum actual panic
seized on the entire city. But on May
% Marshal Mcmahon announced that
the last of the insurgents had been
overcome, and that the civil war was
over. Twenty thousand prisoners were
in the hands of the government, the
dead were scattered over half the
streets of Paris, and the hospitals were
crowded with those from both sides
who had been wounded at the 'barri-
cades. 1t had been a frightful two
months, to which all decent Frenchmen
look back with horror. To celebrate the
commune now can do little good, I'M
less IL should teach people the awful
results that invariably follow when
mobs put in power those popular lead
ers who always turn out to be savage
autocrats working for themselves and
not for the people whom they are sup
posed to represent.

seems certain not only that no unworthy

list Of our great. but that popular in-

which deserves more thought than il

dentally by profit is immoral and abb
scrd.
All civilized society is built upon the
desire of men to accumulate property.
That desire is in itself natural and right,
as broad as humanity. All ordinary
human activity springs out Of IT. The
men who decry It with one breath speak
in the next for the laborer and the des-
titute. Yet the w~orkingman Is honored
because he creates wealth. To do that
is not a crime in him. To rejoice be-
cause the course of events promises ad-
ditions to national wealth is not to re-
feet mercy and Judgment and the
w~eightier matters Of the law. And those
who hail US with a cry that the promo
ton Of the general welfare is treason
to liberty and a surrender TO CONNER
cialism deny the theories of our funda-
mental act OF government and the
truths Of common life.
The commercial motive is legitimate.
Its place and power among the come
plexlty of motives that direct life is II
proper subject OF controversy. 1t is right
for a nation as for an individual to
seek wealth in order that intelligence
and comfort and happiness in the ag-
gregate may Increase. Commercialism
as a means 10 humanity's growth Is no
more unworthy than the labor of the
philanthropist to make larger benefac
tons a possibility. 1t is commercialism
as a controlling influence that is held
rightly to be a thing accused.
pie will hold fast TO this distinc-
ton. They are not to be turned
from the duty and the burden of the
hour because there may be attached 10
II some incidental gain. Just as surely
will they not let the jingling of the
guinea deafen their ears to justice, or.
its glitter blind them tozthe glory Of
their old ideals.
This is the real struggle that lies be-

and coming into their wonderful heri-
tage Of material bounty. False proph-
cts there are who would bid them seek
only gain, and others who would turn
them from the work Of uplifting the
world because the task of humanity
may carry with IL substantial rewards.
In their own rectitude they must con-
fde. Swayed by the moral ideas that
are imperative, they must not permit
commerciallsm to become either their
DOGGY or their tyrant. Their salvation
lies in keeping always clear before them
"A high ideal of the duty that a nation
owes to itself. to the world and to the
forces making for progress upward and

The Paris Commune.

Yesterday was observed by many So
clalist organizations as the twenty-ninth
anniversary of the rise of the Paris
Commune. From the time Of the
downfall OF Napoleon. In Septem-
Der, 1870. the more radical reform
urging greater municipal indepen-
dence. M proposed a federated sys-
tenn of government made up of COM
munes with full powers To regulate their
own affairs. There were many sin
cere people In the movement. who work
ed diligently for the change which they
thought would bring greater liberty and
contentment TO the Parislans. but, as
has always been the case under like
circumstances. the demagogues and red
revolutionists came into control almost
from thu first. and as a result there
reigned in the French capital one of
the bloodiest and most merciless des-
potisms that has been recorded in his
tory.
The insurrecttonary leaders. with
whom were naturally associated the po-
litical agitators. revolutionists and al
~venturers. had been active during the

The Indirect Value of the Hall
of Fame,

America has always been too busy
building for the future to think seri-
ously about the past. We are prone TO
make much of the people who are do
ins great things and. with the Illus
trious exceptions of Washington and
Lincoln. we leave the people who have
lone them quite severely lone. 1t is
not that we mean 10 neglect them, but
they are back numbers. Also living ras-
cality is more exciting TO think about
than dead virtue, and it must be &C
knowledged that our bosses and our
politicians and our Napoleons Of finance
give us so much food for thought that
we have no time In which to mediate
upon more devoted characters.
one bad result of this p~reoccupation
with the hustling present is that we fan
TO provide adequate ideals for our
youth. The log-cabin boy who is born
ambitious knows that the end Of his ca
reer ought logically TO be the White
House, but the average boy In the aver
age family is not provided with such a
definite n respectable ambition. 1t is
necessary for him to have some kline OF
an IDEAL. since for the saving OF the
earth the young are SO constituted as to
require them. He looks about the mar
ket-place and Is led 20 believe that the
most ilustrious achievement within
reach is to get on financially. and
times he succeeds and sometimes he
does not, but In either event IL IL the
