The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in ali it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitu tional treatment. Halls Catarrh
G Ire is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature to do
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address,

THE PENSION MEASURE.

Is the Sherwood pension bill now
pending before the Senate an outrage
GUS measure? We think not. 1t is
merely putting back into the hands of
the people, first through the old sold
iers who are needing it. large
amount of money, which was got from
the people by taxation. The amount,
S75, 900, 900, may look like a grab, at
the present moment, to some short
sighted newspapers and individuals,
but when they consider the rapidity
with which the old veterans are cross
ing the river it should not seem so
heinous Why not give it to the old
soldier who needs it, rather than to
spend it on the maintenance of big
standing army Which is the more
charitable of the two2 If there ever
was a time when the veterans of the
Sixties, either side, needed help, it is
now, and the years that they will need
help are few fol many of them.
We are glad to see that Congressman
Moon voted for the measure, and that
the two Republican Congressman OF
the First and Second Districts gave
their support also. The other Demo-
cratic Congressmen of the State voted
against the bill probably want some
more battleships built, which we con-
slider squandering money, sure enough.

the remnant of fence now standing
lonesomely in front of Owen Church,
and utilize the palings which are gen
orally in good condition, in the con-

fence. With new posts, new rails and

Gov. Hooper did the correct thing
when be put his foot down on the GUS
tom that past governors have had OF
giving deeds to school lands to squat
ters who located on them. Some legis-
lature at some time back made provis-
ion that portions of land known as dis
tricts should be reserved over the state
for the benefit of the schools, but
squatters gradually acquired the title
to them through the failure of past
governors to do their duty and eject
them. The Governor even set his foot
down that he would not sign a deed
giving away such lands in Williamson
county, which had worked the legisla-
ture of 1906 to give it the right to dis
pose of such lands. Hooper would not
be accessory to the disposal of school
lands.

The iron manufacturers report in
creased prices for delivery of iron in
1912. That is a good sign for the com
ing years business. However, the
iron business is now conferred in Ala
bama In 1891 the light of two furn-
aces could be seen from this place, but
now they are shut down and have been
for years. This is what alnalgamation
of interests, also called trusts, does
to a section. In consequence also,
there is no coke made at Tracy City,
Whitwell, Dunlap or Victoria, and
the iron mine at Inman is nothing but
a remembrance, This valley cannot
be said to have advanced much in

Commercial
Happenings
Racy News From the CapitsI Regard
ing Sugar Stock.

Honolulu, Jan. H.
Hawaiian Commercial stock,
which had held strong for six or
seven days, broke yesterday on bad
cable news from San Francisco, and
is now weak. This stock is one of
the few subject to immediate huctu-
alton with sugar, on account of the
fact that much of it is held on the
Coast where people take more ac-
count of the daily market for sugar
than in the Islands. Thus a de-
cline in stock values over there
might reasonably have been ex-
pected as a result of the subsistence
in the basis for raws at New York.
Thursday and Friday Hawaiian
Commercial held at $34 bid and
$34 so asked. These figures fol-
10 we'd sales late Wednesday of so,
35, 10 and shares at $34. On
Thursday and Friday there were no
sales, but on Saturday rs shares
changed hands at the same old
price, S34. Between boards to
Monday there was another sale Of
25 shares at $34, soon after which
the bad news from the Coast ar
rived, when bidding dropped to
s33. 80, at which it still stands.
This is exactly the San Francisco
basis, and the immediate, future Of
the stock in the market will depend
upon quotations that may come
over the wire from California.
rHE svoAR MARKET
The sugar market is still erratic.
From 1851 and better the price at
New York sank to about 1886,
and all the Il told you soes" were
ready to parade Honolulu's Wall
street as the real article in the
prophesy line. But yesterday an
other story came over the wire, it
telling Of a rally in sugar, a sweep
ing advance being made back to
$3.50. This was more than had
been anticipated even by the habi-
tual optimists, who had hoped the
drop would not continue but did
not expect an advance. Thus cal
culations have been upset again, al
least for the present.
As anticipated in this column
sometime ago, the low price oi
sugar in America and Europe has
J resulted in an enormous increase ir
J demand and consumption. The

An echo from the Christmas
feast, which has heart tug in it,

city when he was called into the
Office and presented with bank
certificate for over $50, an envelope
containing two IS gold pieces for the
family's immediate needs, and sew
eral packages containing articles
which would give both pleasure and
comfort to each member Of the
home. In addition to the money
given by the employees. one Of the
men in the Office secured dona.
