MOVING FOR LOW-RATES.

The Merchants Association is taking
up the matter of steamship rates with
an earnestness and force of logic which
ought to bring results. The report of
its committee, printed in this issue, is
public document of great value. 1t
not merely asserts but proves that the
steamship lines are discriminating
against Honolulu; and it details the
methods by which such hostility may
be combated.
A debate on the report will be held
on Friday at the rooms of the Asso-
citation in the Young Building. If it
brings about a concerted public effort
to get lower passenger rates between
San Francisco and this port, it will not
have been held in vain; for it is surely
within the power of the men who make
Honolulu business for steamship lines
to compel fair play. They can have
lower rates if they want them. All
that is needed is for the heavy shippers
to unite

inold-over body, must be Republican for
about eight years, save in the improb-
able contingency that enough Repub-

Watermelons are piling up on the
small farms but no way seems to have
been found to restore the muskmelon
crop which was once so plentiful here.
There is no more luscious fruit than
the Hawaiian muskmeion or canta-

counterfeit the pest that destroys it,
science will have conferred a distinct
boon on gastronomy.

MONEY FOR LABOR.
Nearly Half u Billion Dollars More

for Wages.
The census OF 1900 showed that the
wages of all classes of labor in all the
manufacturing industries OF the United
States was S2,3222, ,:I3.o.. as against ST.
Sol DDS, ,32l in lSDO-a gain of SI3l, 1885,
$50.
The census reports OF wages for labor
aud salaries for clerks aud officers en-.
ployed in manufacturing industries for
the last three decades are as follows:

Had these census reports included the
period from 1894 to 1904 the compari-
son would be far more striking, for
thousands OF workngmen lost their jobs
shortly after the last Democratic admin
istration OSkJ-ls9Il went into power,
and there were very few wor6ingmen Of
those able to keep their jobs who did not
have TO submit to at least some reduction
In wages.
Those were the days when Democracy
piled trouble on TO trouble. and seemed
TO leave nothing undone that could be
done TO bring imp0yerishment TO the
American workingman.
The entire country was made sort OF
laboratory for original Democratic eI-
pcrimeniation In various explosive pro-
ducts and by-products. including especial
~ free trade, free silver free riot and
free soup. II matterei not that desols-
tion was brought into thousands OF
American homes. that the workingmnn

After william Mckinley was elected
President and the policies OF protection

United States In wealth and prosperity
attracted the wonder of all civilized ma

with accelerating velocity up 10 the pres

upward movement when II was only

Though the use of spectacles Is rap
Idly increasing in the United States
and, In fact, in every civilized land, 1t
Is In Germany that they are most
common. That Is because the Ger

than the Roman.
This circumstance is one OF the
strongest arguments put forth by the
German advocates of the return to
roman type in the Empire Of the
Kaiser, FOR originally the letters used
In Germany were exactly the snme as
those used by the English, the French,

more sober writings than this story
bear witness to his use of the stone in

There Is record that Roger Bacon,
the friar who devoted more of his time
to science than to religion, was the
first man to make spectacles in the
year 1880. and 1t is probable that 1t
was he who first made practical spec

dated 1890. there is an inscription
which awards the honor to another
In these words:

BY 1900 spectacles were not at nll
uncommon in Holland and Germany.

more than full century earlier. It
was Hen Franklin who invented the

DON'T FORGET CONGRESS.
II IL Very Important that II Should
lie Republican.


In the great political contest which
occurs in this country every four years.
and which is now on. the election of
President Is apt TO overshadow all other
interests. This ought not to be so. The
President is the head OF the executive
branch OF the government, but the legis-
lativs branch Is equally as important.
Republicans should remember that IL is
as important to hold Congress as II Is
to elect the President. The election OF
Judge Parker would mean much more
than the induction Of his personality into
that high Office. His election would mean
the election OF Democratic House of
Representatives, and this would be most
unfortunate. because:
First, the Democratic party, composed
ns II IL of all the distracted elements of
the country. Is not capable of success
fully administering the affairs Of this
government. II has not the capacity 10
deal with the great problems that now
confront us Second. Democratic
House OF Representatives would mean
that the entire legislative machinery Of
that body would he placed In the control
Of the South; the Speaker the committee

Southern men aud the great interests of
the North would be subordinated to
Southern policies. In answer to this !,
may be said that n Democratic House
could do no harm. as the Senate would

II an ordinarily discerning person

perceive readily the characteristics,

pants. though strangers to him and,
for the time being. absent. says a writ
er In the Cooking School Magazine.
Orators know the Significance OF
the pause In impressive speech. In
like manner does much space be.
tween articles of furniture and still
more space between pictures and or

article bought Just to I'LL up space is
placarded with the intention. On the
other hand. who can comprehend the
far.reaching influence, moral as well
as artistic. of a truly perfect outline
or n harmonious combination OF col
ors?
The ancients worshiped their house
hold gods. This was tho poetical cx-
preston OF truth. Every home has
a spirit whose silent influence even
the chance visitor feels. Who can
fail to see the beauty and peace in
the domestic picture, where Haw-
thorne and whipplc picked currants
for ten. while Mrs. Hawthorne made
biscuit and Mrs. whipple laid the
table?
Harmony in the home depends up
on tho extent to which ideals are held
In common, or to the amount of sym.
pathy which each member has for tho
Ideals Of the other members. Where
