Yesterday marked an important
epoch in the history of the First Ma
tionaI bank of this city, for it was
upon June 30, 1868, just 40 years ago,
that this bank was opened for bust
ness. 1t was also the first national
bank in operation in the United
States, which fact makes the ami
versary all the more interesting. Aus
tin Corbin, who later became one of
the leading bankers and millionaires
of New York, was it's first president
and Ira Clifford, father of Ira Clifford,
Jr., who for years was a member
of the hardware firm of Reynolds d

One of the Hilo papers complains
that Honolulu is to get all the benefit
Of the proposed Hawaiian advertis-
ing. This, however, is far from being
the case. In the nature of things tour
lists must come here first because here
the steamship lines converge, here are
the hotels and from here the inter-
island trips are made; but what is 20
prevent Hilo, providing she reopens
her hotel, from drawing heavily on
the Honolulu visitation? When the
crowds come here it will be Hilo's fault
If she doesn't get her share. Further
more, the Promotion Committee, IN
advertising the volcano is doing Hilo
service, for the majority of the vol
cano-bound travellers will go that
wav. Whether they will stay in the
big islands chief city or not will de-
pend, not upon Honolulu, but upon the
willingness of Hilo to give them ac-
commodations.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
The oficial and Commercial Record ]

I'll
The results of the Republican pri-
mary elections on Saturday last are
distinctly satisfactory to the lovers of
good government in Honolulu. The
character of the delegates is above the
average for honesty and ability. and
conservative action may be expected
from them. The battle for good gov
eminent is not yet done, however.
Bodies of good men sometimes 10
strange and unaccountable things. The
spirit of compromise is frequently re-
suonsible for this. Efforts will be
made to secure, by way of compromise,
nominations on the Republican ticket
which will fatally weaken it. No man
should be nominated upon whose re-
putation for honest handling and ac-
counting for government funds there
is any blemish. Neither should men of
weak principles be named, because of
their supposed vote catching abilities.
There is something else needed besides
vote getting qualities in a candidate,
and that is character. 1t is better to
let the other party elect a candidate
rather than to elect poor stick whom
his sponsors will afterward have to
apologize for. We have had a recent
and rich experience in this respect in
the legislature and want no more of
it.
the personal affair of the business men
of Honolulu. and it behooves them to
keep in touch with the trend of affairs
and use to the utmost their influence
to secure the nomination of men who
will give the county an honest bust
ness administration. There will be no
the men now making an active canvass
for nomination are nominated and
elected. If they are nominated they will
not be elected, for the business colm-
munity, from which the Republican
party gains it's chief strength will not
be again led into the pitfall that it
was last Fall. Unsavory nominations
will result in wholesale scratching of
the ticket and the election of the op-
posing candidate. This fact should be
impressed upon the delegates by in
dividual citizens. In this way the cit
izan can have an influence far beyond
the power of his single vote. Once let
sort weak nominations become thor
oughly known and the danger of weak
nominations will disappear.

THE DOUBLING THOMASEs.

eft can't be done,' is a familiar cry
through the length and breadth of Ha-
wall Every new enterprise here has
had to meet it. The doubling Thorn
asses are legion, and defeat never
seems to dismay or enlighten them.
Whatever the question is, they dispose
of it with an airy wave of the hand
and the curt remark: at can't be
done!'
Recently the small farmer move
ment had to suffer; yet gradually but
surely the area of cultivated land is
widening and the number of farmers
increasing. The latest report of Land
Commissioner Boyd puts the number
of white agriculturists who have late
ly come and taken up land at over a
hundred. By the end of another year
there is reason TO hope that several
hundred families will be located here.
Today we hear that the anti-mos-
quito crusade is going to fail. Kill
off the mosquitoes? at can't be done"
Yet it is being done elsewhere, even in
New Jersey where the pests are more
numerous than here. An Alabama
town, whose mayor wrote the account
of an determination of the mosquito
there, which was lately reprinted in
the Advertiser, supplies another in
stance in point. Locally something
has been done, as witness the ease
with which Quarantine island, once
the happy home of a great swarm of
mosquitoes, has got rid of the pest.

That is the way they talked when
the Wilders proposed to work up a
steamship trade between the islands;
when the segregation of lepers was
proposed; when artesian water wells
were suggested; when Dillingham; ar
gued for the building of the Oahu rail-
way; when annexation was bruited;
when it was proposed to give Honolu-
lu rapid transit. at can't be done
1t can't be DONE" sounded like a par
rot cry from every point of the COM
pass. Yet pluck and determination
went to work and it WAS done!
If the people of Honolulu will it, they
can make mosquitoes as scarce in Ho-
nolulu by night as they are by day
and perhaps, in the long run extermi-
nate them. The scheme is scientific
ally feasible. All that is needed is the
money to prosecute the work.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate Per-
sons Temperament.

Color of Hair Said to Indicate Per-
sons Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid of character: far from
it. The disposition of the average
baId-headed man is to show such solic-
itude for the welfare of others, that
he neglects himself. A germ causes
badness. Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris,
France, inocculated a rabbit with
Dandruff germs, causing it to become
totally bald in five weeks time. To rid
the scalp of these dangerous germs it
is necessary TO apply Newbros Herpi-
eide.
