Ouj reason lor continual advertising is "to be there" when the "cultivated and convinced" buyer gets ready to do business with you. Some-tidied, but not always, buyers "crtp" or "mark" ads for ruturo reference.

But usually they say, "Well, next month I'll get that-' Now, next month, if your ad isn't there to remind them, they are likely to forget that you ever existed, and you then lose the good effects of your previous advertising. Naturally, when a buyer wants an badly and has the price, he "buys on the spot." But buying on the spot is more often the exception than the rule. Mail Order Journal. FINE BUSINESS SHOWING. As everyone knows, The Republican was started on June 14, and is therefore Just three and one-half months old today.

A look at the advertising columns of today's paper will tell more eloquently than words how well the paper is succeeding and how it is meeting Uio approval of the people. The linotype machine ordered Ajirll arrived yesterday on the bark Olrmnlc and will be unloaded and set nn within a few days. After today tho Sunday Republican will consist of not less than ten or twelve pages, so that readers who feel that the reading matter in today's paper is limited can to assured that hereafter they will get a Sunday Republican that will be fai ahead of any pjper ever heretofore lb- sued in the Hawaiian Islands. England has a pretty hot campaign or its own on its hands Just now and before tho elections are over they will know how it is themselves. Wilcox's chances of going to congress have gone a-glimmering.

The fight last night seemed to lie wholly between Parker and Prince David. Oh, pull down that iron fence about tho capltol grounds and the hugo gates barring the way thereto. The grounds belong to the pooplo; give them ja chance to enjoy them. I The pilot boat boys have quit work, not bocause they do not want work, but boouiwo they cannot live on the money paid them. They undoubtedly have a juat grievance and this territory cannot be.

prpud of asking men to work for (9.75 a month. The work which Mr. Wray Taylor, commissioner of agriculture and forestry, bas undertaken in Introducing parasites to kill off Insect posts is to be commended. In a quiet way Mr. Taylor and Entomologist Koebele are doiug good work for the future of theie islands.

Count von Waldersee may bo a great soldier and just the man for tho command of the allied forces in China, but he is constantly raising doubts In the unprejudiced mind. First ho talked too much and then his first act was to order a grand review. The American troops in China are there to light and not for dress parade purposes, no matter how it stands with the forces of other nations. Voa seems to be a later edition of General McClellan. The outlook In the coal regions of Pennsylvania Is anything but reassuring.

In the neighborhood of 140.VO0 coal miners are now out In the Lehigh, Lackawanna, Luzerne and Schuylkill regions. This comprises the entire an-s thrcie coal belt, the region is which the boniest battles between capital and labor have always been fought in the coal regions. Never in the put have troops awed these men nor have strikes ever been declared off there because of the presence of soldiers. Work has always been resumed after arbitration and there Is every reason to Relieve that the present strike will be no exception to the rule. It is to be hoped that the operators may soon accede arwtrauoti and musty ana i The Lounger i People of Honolulu seem to nave some peculiar ideas ot tie province ci a newspaper and tee duties of a reporter.

My attention has been uxietttd to mis on ivnJ recently, notably in with some uanqutu. tfce people charge ol the naaqueti thevr favors at Use reportera as though they animals vrho were tolerated Uirouga tear or somtthmg else, have had a gooc deal of experience with lawyers, ieporters, actors and otaer proietsionat men and I maintain that reporters, man tor man, are as honorable and courteous a set of men as xollo' any profession In the land. Tney are men uf education nd refinement and men of a road experience in anatrs. 1 am told that one editor in Honolulu informed his reporters not long since that hereafter when any one of them attended a banquet he chouid demand courteous treatment and a seat at tit table where he could attend to his duties properly or to turn and walk out. Of course there are boors in the newspaper profession well as in all others and these men oftimes cause people in other walks of life to gain bad impressions of reporters as a whole.

The actions of one of this rude class, I which, thank heaven, are few, was caileu my attention a few niguts ago. A man wno is not always grata where his duties take him, but who Is tolerated because of his position on a newspaper walked into a gentleman's ofilce in quest of news, just as he stepped up to the desk the man he was addressing was in the act of closing a drawer in which was a box of cigars. Mr. Fresh Reporter at once reached quickly into the drawer and picked out cigar, ev Idently thinking his rude act was a piece of smart business. The gentleman he was addressing would have been justihed kicking that reporter out of his office.

But notwithstanding the faults of thu very few of this character that unfortunately get into the business, that no excuse for the rude treatment of all reporters so often extended conscientious workmen by people who stem to think a reporter is not deserving of un consideration. 1 was much interested in the article in The Republican a few days ago on the English language. It reminded me of a famous editorial by that great msn Charles A. Dana live years ago. Besides his talent as an editor, being the dean of the profession, as J.

B. Mc-Cullagh of the Globe-Democrat called him, Mr. Dana was a very learned linguist, reading and speaking nearly every language of Europe. Speaking of the use of the German language in tbe United States, Dana closed with this tribute to the English tongue: "There is nowhere in the world a more lobust, forcible or comprehensive language than English. It is the language spoken by the largest number of civilized people.

It is the language of thoce nations where free institutions nourish. It is tho language of progress, the language of liberty, the language of law and order, the language of commerce, of invention, of newspapers; the language of the future, superseding other languages in all continents out Europe. It is the official language of the United States and of every public department of the government. We quote from an American poet: 'I like tho Anglo-Saxon speech With its direct revealings; It takes a hold and seems to reach Away down to your v. With the native leaders political differences seem to "cut no ice" when it comes to their social relations.

One evening just before Prince David's departure for Hawaii he gave a very pleasant dinner at Lycurgus Union Grill, at which Sam Parker and Charles B. Wilson were guests, as were also Mr. Loebenstein and Mr. Walker of Hilo, and others. The republican lion laid down with the democratic lamb, politics were eschewed and small talk only was indulged In between the popping of the corks.

Beautiful, clever Belle Archer, the opera boufe singer and capable all 'round actress is dead. She died of a blood clot on the brain in the Emergency hospital at Warren, Pa. Mrs. Archer made her first hit as Hebe in John T. Ford's original production of "Pinafore," a character for which nature had cast her.

She was an exceedingly beautiful girl and at the time caused a furore that ever after stood her in stead in her professional career. She was, however, more than a beauty. She was a sweet voiced singer and a clever and conscientious actress, who achieved success by her art and never resorted to advertising her personal charms. Her maiden name was Belle Mingle and she was born at Easton, where her father was prominently connected with the Western Union Telegraph company anil largely identified in business. Belle made her debut under John T.

Ford at Baltimore before she was 16 years of age. She was about 3S years ot age at the time of her death, an event that will hring sorrow to thousands upon thousands of devoted friends in this country and In Europe. Of late years Mrs. Archer had made her home in California. When T.

McCants Stewart gets a phrase like "legally Involved" he can roll It out more rolllngly and ring- the changes on it oftener than some of Hawaii can change their political creeds to keep la line with the kaleidoscopic changes in the body politic of these islands. Speaking about politics reminds me that a good story has been allowed to go to waste when the "family pulled down A. V. Gear ia tie legislative convention for the Foarta district. Talk about bolting aad per sonal asuttlts was freely indulged ia aad the mosey and influence ot the sa- ear plasters was held op as a lt a frt8t stofy uan irprisd SJSe; arakti, OSc TBB REPUBLICAN, SUNDAT.

SEPHMBrm 30, 1900. pers have cot given nw the srae inwardness of this most Isportaat 01 coarse, the Advertiser woaldn't have bolted and supported J. O. Carter and S. 3L Damon as its inspired friend said it would.

The Advertiser is a lepcblican paper, you know when things go its way. Did It ever strike yoe -what a political meeting ptace Progress hall teally is? It is large, light and airy mid amply provided with rooms. It Is an ideal conventtosi hall. The morning conferences of the sanitary inspectors have become very popular and are really proving of considerable benefit. As soon as Dr.

Pratt can male up his staff of lecturers the weekly lectures to the force will be inaugurated- Some one has maliciously suggested that the course of lectures be extended and daily clinics be introduced, so that the board ot health might run its own school of medicine when the new dispensary building is finished. Good idea! The authorities should keep, their eyes on sailing vessels, oOtne of which are smuggling Belgian hares into Qahn. I am reliably inforn.eu that as, many as twenty-live pairs axe now In thia city and others are being bsoutat in from time to time. They are not desirable importations and are mighiy liable to become a pest. Registrar of Voters Wray Taylor has troubles of his own, but his chief now is of other men's making.

It devolves upon the registrar to send out ballot boxes and when the elections are er the boxes are returned to nun Each box is provided with a Yale lock and only one key. It is this key that gives Mr. Taylor hemorrhages. The key is cent to the election board under separate cover. That's all right, but it is tne manner in which the keys are returned to him that is making him gray and bald-headed.

The election officers are usually so careful about them that, after the ballots are all in and the boxes locked and ready for shipment, they throw the keys through the slot into the box. As there are no duplicate keys, the only way the registrar can open such boxes is with an ax. This is annoying to the legistrar and costly to the territory. Will the election officers kindly take this matter to heart and return those keys unaer separate cover to Mr. Taylor? a The toping on the rounded corner of the capitol grounds wall at Richards street has been put on and I am sorry to see that preparations are under way to replace that beastly iron fence.

I had hoped that the fence and iron gates at the entrances would all removed, -now that the monarchy has passed away and the grounds no longur belong to rulers, but to the people. It is ai absurdity to close these grounds In the evening, just when the people would most enjoy them. The building is locked, of course, but the grounds should never be closefl any more than are any of the other parks. The territorial government is no longer a family arrangement and the men in office not rulers, but servants, of the people. Then why hedge the capitol about with iron fences and lock out of their grounds the people with big iron gates? Visitors from the mainland must think that the territory is preserving something precious in tho old palace.

Tear down the fences and the gates and sell them for junk. Some better arrangement ought to be made to care for the flower girls that now make some sections of the streets of Honolulu so distinctive. In sunshine and in rain their lot is not what it ought to be and the vendors of Hawaii's beautiful flowers are compelled to move from side to side of streets to find comfort. Who wouldn't miss the flower girls if they should stop selling flowers? It would be in the nature of a public calamity. What would we do on steamer days; whence would come the leis? Truly, the flower girls of Honolulu are more than a unique feature of our cosmopolitan life.

They ore an absolute necessity. What rich man will immortalize himself by establish ing a flower market? THE LOUNGER. HE WEABS A SEAL MEDAL. I A Beautiful Souvenir Presented by Healanis to George Beckley. The Hilo Tribune says: The reason why the Kinau was so late in arriving Wednesday evening was said to Ue that she waited for the Hawaiian delegates who were at the convention.

The Tribune has found out the true reason, however. She bore Commodore Beck-ley, wearing on his breast the life-saving medal ot the Healani Boat dub. and the weight of her responsibility made her "go slow." i George, if not the Klnau, has reason to be proud of the beautiful memento of Regatta day's capsizing and rescue which was made by Wlchman. II is a miniature life-saving belt, done ia white porcelain. The center Is a blufc ground upon which are raised gold letters a in monogram.

The rer verse bears the inscription: "Presentj ed to George Beckley In recognition of heroic actions Sept 15, 1800." The bar of the pin by which the medal la at tached to George's manly breast bears the inscription: "Commodore George C. Beckley." The medal was prescntefL Mr. Beckley Just a half hoar before tfie Kinau sailed for Hilo. Cossequentiy tie news is in none of the Honolulu papers received here. Prince David made the presentation in a neat speech and the whole club offered their apologies for the previous faux pas which was engineered by Chester Doyle, as Mr.
