Proprietor and Manager

HONOLULU, MARCH 15, 1902.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

                Delegate Wilcox has moved to the Queen's residence, as her guest.

                A lady wishes to know why since the invention of needle guns women can't fight as well as men.

                "Birdie" is what a young husband fondly calls his wife, because she is always associated with a bill.

                David Kalauokalani, Jr., (Delegate Wilcox's private secretary) and his wife are living at the Queen's residence.

                We hope to see Hon. Henry E. Cooper soon attending to his duties of the Executive Mansion.

                Mr. Wray Taylor is a jolly fellow and is just the right man for the Department he's in—everybody satisfied and no kick coming.

                President Roosevelt is busy receiving Prince Henry, therefore, he will not talk about Hawaiian affairs for some weeks to come.

                We hope the next Legislature will bring luck, and we hope the members of both houses will raise the salaries of all the Government Officials.

                Hon. H. P. Baldwin and Hon. S. M. Damon are two new names sent over to Washington as candidates for the Governorship, by one of the Republican Party.

                Mrs. Robert Wilcox has received a beautiful book called "The Life of William McKinley," sent to her as a present by the author of the book. It is a very large book, bound with a beautiful soft leather, and the words are in gilt letters.

THE LABOR SYSTEM.

                The Labor System of these Islands is deserving of our very careful consideration.
                Hawaii is sufficiently advanced in the  march of human progress to guard carefully the liberty of her people; and she is also sufficiently enlightened to guard with wise precaution her organiazed and great producing industries.
                We do not believe in looking to other countries for laborers; but, we do look to China, the land of the Flowers.

ALARMISTS.

                Alarmists who are anxious, and whose interest it is, to try to prove that there is an unquiet feeling amongst our Hawaiian people, are on the qui vive to note and report any expression that indicates a warmth of political feeling on the part of the Hawaiians. We know that Hawaiians are this day, as they have always been, the most peaceful people in the world. Have they ever been known, since law was established in this country, to take the law into their own hands? No; their good senses tell them, that acting according to law, they are strong; with the ballot in their hands and acting peaceably they are yet masters of Hawaii, and no power of the world will wish to disturb them in the peaceful enjoyment of their political supremacy in this Territory.

MR. DEPEW AT A BANQUET.

                The Republican delegation in Congress from New York tendered Senator Depew a banquet in the "red parlor" at the New Willard last evening. Every member, from veteran Senator Platt down to diminutive Montague Lessler, the latest and the smallest Representative from the Empire State, was present, except Representative Wadsworth, who was detained. The function was the return courtesy to the Senator for the banquet he tendered his colleagues just previous to his marriage.
                Senator Depew met the members as they arrived and presented them to his wife. Mrs. Depew remained in the parlors only long enough to greet her husband's hosts, after which seats were taken at the table. Besides Senator Depew, the guests were Secretary Roof and Secretary Bennett, of the Senate. Mrs. Depew was presented with a large bouquet of American Beauty roses.

                Delegate Wilcox is well and is out—by this time to the Capitol.

                Hon. Samuel Parker was the first Hawaiian who went to the Philadelphia Convention to nominate President Theodore Roosevelt and President William McKinley.
