taurant are opened. The tailoring de-
partment is also moved to the new

The dance given by the young men Of
Lihue at the court house on the 24th' of
May was very enjoyable occasion.
Many lovers of dancing from the other
districts Of the island were present.
Everyone seemed to have enjoyed
themselves immensely. Much praise is
due Dr. Hutchinson and the rest OF
the young men for the way they car
ried the affair through.
Those who attended the dance given
by Mr.. and Mrs. A. 5. Wilcox at Kilo-
hama on the 7th, enjoyed one of the
best dances ever given in Lihue. A
better place for such an occasion could
not be found than the beautiful home
of Hon. a. ;. Wilcox, with it's spacious
rooms and handsome furnishings.
kappelmeister Berger and his boys
made a lasting impression upon the
people of Kauai. If we are sure of
having the smiling face OF the profess
sor with us two or three times year
in the future. certainly there will be no
doubt of our delegates to the Legisla-
ture voting for generous appropria-
tion for the band.
Miss kaipu of Grove Farm gave "A
grand luau a few weeks ago on the oc-
casion of her birthday. There were
many young people present who drank
the delicious output of the Lihue Soda
Water Works with full sense of ap-
probation of her hospitality, and hoped
her many returns of the day. The
patronesses were Miss Tiser and Mrs.
j II. Alexander. Mr.. DeLacy furnish
ed the dance music.
4 number of candidates are being
doomed by their friends for Represen-
tatives, and every one of them Is worth
our votes The most prominent are
MIR. Francis Gay, Mr.. Edwin o. ON
sted. Mr.. L. a. Knudsen, Mr. NJ. \.

Munden and Mr. $. X. Kali. From
this showing of names and because of
the other candidates who are sure to
crop up before the convention, we are
likely to have aHively time selecting
our standard bearers.
Miss Kapuni All Chong and Mr.. Ben
jamin Hanaike We're united in mar
riage by the Rev. Kaauwai on We'd
nesday, May 2S, 1902 The ceremony
took place at the home of the groom.
The parlors and dining halls, where the
ceremony was performed. We're beauti-
fully decorated with palms and ferns
of the true Hawaiian style. The we'd
ding was followed by a luau and
dance. the Lihue Quartet and Mr.. De
Lacy furnishing the music.
1t is believed that the large majority
Of the Republicans are in favor of go
ing before the people with a straight
forward pledge of municipal govern
ment for the Islands. 1t certainly
seems impossible that the Republican
party could have any other platform.
OF course il would not be the design of
the party to create municipal form
of government with elective offices TO
be filled by persons of an opposite po-
litical faith. Unless the Republican
| nd
ing election will determine. we should
Stoutly oppose county government. We
saw by the last Legislature what can
be expected with an illiterate, incom-
petent. unreliable electorate in the ma
jority. The honesty and competence
of the Islands must rule them, and that
should settle It.
There are no persons on Kauai so
sick of the Home Rulers as the sem
sible, well informed natives who We're
fooled into aftiliating with that party
at the last election. II is believed that
the strength of the Republican party
this time will be those who were talk
ed over 10 give the Home Rulers
chance last time. They have had their
chance and they showed that they
could accomplish absolutely nothing for
the good of even their own friends
with everything their own way. How
much less can they do in the minority.
as they will be al the next Legislature?
Every vote at the coming election cast
for a Home Ruler will be a vote for
dead man, and ii will be just as SEN
sible and just as useful If all those
who intend voting the Home Rule tick
et next November stay at home cleo
tion day, take good sleep and dream
about the Banderlog party and the Jab-
bertalk Legislature in the hey-day OF
their glory, before they talked them
