Serge is
King

AND OURS is the noblest Roman of
them all. We have mastered the serge
suit situation by shere force of merit,
and there is none now so stupid as. to
dispute our leadership. Our SIS suits
are $40 suits in every other store. And
every other merchant knows that is So.
Why shouldn't you know it, too, when
the knowledge is worth IS to you? We
guarantee every suit-guarantee them
to hold color, shape and smoothness.
We represent them to be absolutely
flawless. If they prove otherwise, come
and get another suit. No other house
dare make such a guarantee, but we
know whereof we speak.

TERRITORIAL POLITICS.

The politics of the city and of the
local affairs of the territory need
not be drawn on the lines of the great
parties Of the whole country. What a
growing and progressive community,
such as this is, requires and hopes for,
IS progressive and able men to conduct
the affairs of the territory irrespective
of what their views may be upon ma
tiOnal politics. There is a wide differ
ence between local and national poll
tics. Men may differ about questions
of national policy, and yet be perfectly
agreed upon questions affecting the
place they live in.
1t is quite possible for an ardent ex-
pansionist like Senator Beverage and
a bgoted anti-expansionist, like Ed
ward Atkinson, to agree upon the sub
ject of the election of a mayor whose
rule might advantage the city both
might be living in, or the election of
superintendent of schools. The appoint
ments for a city government should
not necessarily be made upon party
lines, but should be made from the best
material at hand, irrespective of party.
Such view will not meet with favor
among people who are going to tie on
to this or that party, simply with a
view to the loaves and fishes the skirts
of the party may swish into their laps,
But it will meet with appreciation from
those who are independent and who
wish to see the greatest good for the
90 to-
ious creed, and irrespective of political
creed.
The attempt to form a machine here
Is likely to be an abortive one. There
are too many free minded and free
thinking men to trammel themselves as
far as local politics are concerned
What they want is not men of a par
ticular bent of political thought, but
men who will administer the affairs of
the Territory we'll, and to it's ultimate
prosperity. This is not much to ask.
1t is right to have a strong opinion
upon national affairs, but to make ma
tional affairs a guide to purely local
affairs would be a very foolish matter
We have in the city most capable mer
WIN dIt INtpuDilNtllo' anu illpSI Nel'eADlS
men who are Democrats. Are we go
ing to lose the public services of some
of these men because our city politics
are going to be made on strictly party
lines? Such a policy is narrow minded
and not a broad one, and it is very
doubtful if the Intelligence and breadth
of mind, with which this community is
justly credited, will support any such
system, however much a clique may
strive to thrust it down their threats
AS far as The Star can see the time
is not yet ripe. The chances are it
may never be ripe. AS a community
we have sacrificed too much to obtain
liberty to give it up again, as far as our
own affairs are concerned, into the
the hands of others who know nothing
of our needs and care less.

BURGLARS.

The burglar continues to burgle,
showing that we have amongst us some
professional crooks, which it would be
well to get rid of. This is not remun-
erative community to go burglng in
because the only safe thing to take is
money, and very few people keep any
large amount Of money in their prem
ises. Nearly every one runs a bank
account, and stores only keep a i'm
tied amount of coin on hand for change.
1t is of no use to carry off goods, as
they are carried off in other places, be-
cause there is nowhere to dispose OF
them 1t is next to impossible to get
away from the Islands with any booty
of this sort. What the burglar wants
is some place where there is a fence"
who is ready to pay cash for any kind
of plumber, from bolts of silk taken
from a store, to a cheap bangle, found
on young girls dressing table.
Our safety, up to the present, has lain
in this difficulty of disposing of goods.
There is no good field for the profess
sional burglar, but there seems no doubt
that he has come down to look over

WHAT is ocH1NATowN?o

One of the things that the Court Of
Claims will have to define is what are
the boundaries of Chinatown. IT seems
a very vague distinction. Does it in
clude the district from Kukui street
down to Queen? Does the EVA side of
Nuuanu form it's boundary, or are
premises on the Waikiki side to be in
Guided? Is Aala within the limits of
Chinatown, or does it cease with the
stream? .".r
There will undoubtedly be some diff
Guilty in deciding these points. The
term chinatown" is vague. 1t was
once used as signifying the district
from the Waikiki side of Beretania
street to the mauka side of Hotel street,
and from the Eva side of Nuuanu street
to Maunakea street. Then it gradually
grew out of those limits, took up the
Waikiki side of Nuuanu, invading the
residences which used to occupy that
portion of the city, and surrounding
them with shacks. Then it passed be-
yond the Hotel street line and occupied
the mauka side of King street, again
gobbling up the residences that used to
be there. M. Ballieu, the French COM
missioner, lived and entertained on a
spot lately occupied by Chinese shacks,
Anon the Celestials crossed King
street, they crossed Beretania street,
and worked up to Kukui and just be-
fore the plague, had even crossed that
and were working towards the Queen
Hotel. Then on the Eva side of the
district they first went down clear tC
: the stream and then over the stream
into Aala, where the Chinese theater'
were erected, and around which were
clustered a number of shacks.
Does Chinatown include everything
that is now fenced in, or does it include
portions which are not fenced. I
would be decidedly wise for the Cour
of Claims to establish the boundaries
at once, and having established thu
boundaries, to rigidly abide by them.

the ground, and is making living by
what he can pick up. 1t ought not to
be very difficult to pick out men of
this class, for the number among which
they can be found, ought to be fairly
well known to the police detectives,
and the haunts of such men could GER
tainly be watched.
The petty thief is much more Difficult;
to get hold of, for he may be evolved
from a very much larger class Of cur
own people; but the burglar is an ex-
otto, and he is a choice plant which II
is to be hoped may never become accli-
mated. The climate should be made
too hot for him.

The cut and dried machine which was
being prepared in Murray Hall, was
captured last night. It's name was
changed and it dropped from a party
organization to a simple Republican
club. The political aspirations of the
ward politicians suffered collapse and
the whole affair afforded an evenings
amusement to several of the on lockers.
1t is said that the side remarks were
oratorical flights of some of the
speakers. That early bird, mentioned
in these columns a few days ago. does
not seem to have got it's worm. The
worm got up, but it turned.

is going to be one of the features of

a bad business, that of shipping sailors.
in the whaling times one can remem-
Der that the shipping master was a
thoroughly respectable individual, and
there never was any of the crimpinS
which was in vogue in San Francisco.
The shipping officer is either good or

The serious conditions of the artesian
wells is a subject of great anxiety to
a large number of people. The fact that
they have in many cases ceased to flow,
shows that the underground reservoirs
are being seriously depleted. 1t has
long been known, and is a perfectly
provable fact that artesian water is
not inexhaustible. Other places that
have depended upon arHesian water
have found themselves bereft of their
supply because it had been too much
drawn upon. We have been drawing
very freely upon our sources, and the
warning from scientific men has long
ago been given to us. 1t is to be hoped
that heavens fioodgates" may be
opened, and that we shall have all our
reservoirs filled up, as we'll as our sur
face water put into it's usual condi-
ton. 1T must be said that weather con-
ditions seem to promise more favora-
bly, than a few days ago.

When person rs destitute the Court
of Claims will allow the claimant TO
get the oyster shell. A careful study
of the proclamation, at $40 apiece, to-
gether with the stenographers' salaries,
etc, has evolved this view of the word-
ing of the document. The lawyers, Of
course, will still get the oyster. But
the prospects for the destitute are real
ly greatly. Without the she'll they were
rights, but the members of the Court of
Claims are really beneficent and lovers
of their fellow creatures. They could
never have done what was unjust or
wrong.

The gentle Celestial tries to get round
the lynX-eyed inspectors of the Bureau
of immigration, but he fails every now
and then. The Ng brothers, who came
to swear to the identity of their long
lost relatives yesterday, seem to have
Authorizations as to their family, and
in consequence they had the mortlfica-
ton of seeing them refused permission
to land. 1t is marvellous how many
brothers a Chinaman can develop; 1t
is only equalled by the number Of
mothers one Hawaiian who has a
steady job of work, can manage to
conjure up out of his inner conscious
ness. The record breaker was a young
native on a Hamakua plantation who
quit work fourteen times for the pur-
pose Of burying his mother. He gener-
ally had headache and a black eye
after the ceremony.

RICH ARDSON
Seems to Be in Lead ForiCongressional
 Nomination

New Deca tur, June 27.-(Special. )-Only three more days will eapse before the Congressional primaries are held, the last day of this month, to decide who of the several candidates will succeed General Joe Wheeler in both the uneXpred term of the Fifty-sixth and the full term of the Fifty-seventh Congress.
 Your correspondent has gathered care ful batch of estimates and reports from all the counties of the district, and they all go to indicate that Judge William Rich ardson is by far the most popular man in the race. From figures based on the most conservative estimate Judge Richardson will go into the district convention July 3, at Decatur with more than enough dele gates to nominate him on the first ballot. The figures gathered by Judge Richard sons managers put Madison county 13 votes Limestone votes, Lawrence votes, Lauderdale z votes in the Richardson col to a nomination.
 This (Morgan) county has all along been conceded by Judge Richardson to MT. Blackwell, but, within the last few days, Judge Richardson's friends here think the tide has turned sufficiently to give Rich ardson the county over Blackwell, and in fact, from accurate reports given your correspondent from many of the best men in the county, the indications of his doing it are very strong, as these men have pealed certain small beats heretofore con- ceded to Blackwell and claim to have dis covered majorities in each of them against Blackwell. It is almost absolutely certain that Richardson will carry New Decatur and Decatur CBlackwells home boxes) with 32 votes in the county convention, thus be- ing only p short of controlling the con- vention.

The ore is very valuable and MT. Hine and his ex- pert have returned from the property very much encouraged.
