FlUDAY, NOVEMUlUt 25, 189S. at 00 The line of twenty-five soldiers' graves at the maiika side of the Nuu nnu cemetery is a very melancholy sight, and is a commentary upon boiiic one's incompetence or upon mis. 'management In some way. We can not but reileet upon the fact that many of these ought not to have died. There is 110 doubt that sonic action should be taken in regard to the Chi nese houses and hog ranches upon the Wnikiki road and from there up to Moiliiji. if you will allow him, the Chinese fnrmer will live as dirtily as it is possible, and yet high class Chi nese are extremely neat and partic ular about their dwellings. The Nicaragua Canal Syndicate now seems to be ready to go to work. A cnmtl through the Isthmus would be of the greatest commercial benefit to these Islands, besides being of enor- mour benefit to the Eastern manu Jacturers, who would thus get a much larger sliee of the trade in the Orient than they can at present. There ap pears to be every likelihood of a race in canals, if the information is true that the French company is working upon the Panama canal. Competition is always n good thing. A soldier writes a letter to The Star which is published in another column. He complains that the citizens have kept the men at arm's length. That they have not brought them into their homes. The soldier is unfortunate in not having made friends in Honolulu, To the certain knowledge of The Star there are many homes where from one to half n dozen soldiers have been entertained as often as thev have been able to get into town. Many peo pic have gone out to the camp with the sole purpose of making acquaint nnces and tints opening up a chance Jor invitation to their homes, and many have taken convalescent sol diers into their homes and nursed them into health. The charge is not proven. A SUCCESS. Thanksgiving day was n success The church services were largely at tended and the sermons delivered were heartfelt and impressive. The vari ous feasts given to the soldiers proved a thorough success and a general nir of good feeling seemed to pervade the city and environs. It was very fortunate the day was fine, one cannot always count on the -weather in the month of November, hut it proved n truly delightful day and our sea girt shores and tree clad mountains looked their very best. Honolulu must have vindicated its character for generosity in the eyes of its critics, for certainly there was no lack of public hospitality and there was much private hospitality shown both to officers nnd enlisted men Hi the way of taking them Into many a home circle. There is one thing to be said, the last impression of Honolulu that the New Yorkers will have will be a pleas- ant one anil tnere are some among them who would like to remain here ,and settle. Probably the least said the soonest mended is a good proverb. There have evidently been misunderstandings on both sides, but Thanksgiving day has done what many a Thanksgiving day lias done before, healed the unneces sary breach. How many sundered laniuy lies nave been hound up again, how many broken friendships healed by the genial feeling engen dered by the Thanksgiving time. The feasting is merely the outward sign of the inwnrd hearty feeling. So Thanksgiving has done its duty. THE SPANISH VISIT. to" will The Emperor William's visit Spain, even though incognitio, have a deep significance to many con tinental courts and cabinets, as Ar- gante says, "Que le diable allalt-il faire dans cette galere?" what is ho poking his nose into that business for, Has ho gone to give his personal nd vice to the Queen Itegent tq yield at sfjPnce? Has he one to strengthen the Tmck bono of the ministry and make them' firm in refusal? Has he gone to .personally inform himself of the con dltloti ot tliu Spanish army and navy? As judge of either arm he Is thor oughly capable, for unlike his father and grandfather he has trained him self to understand the navy ns well as the army, whereas his progenitors wore soldiers pure and simple. There Is no doubt that questions such as these are exercising the brains of ninny European politicians and the move will have considerable consider ation In Washington, because of Its possible influence upon the peace ne gotiations. Of the cleverness nnd ersitillty of the Emperor there Is no doubt, of his earnestness nnd intense belief in him self nnd In his mission on earth there can be no doubt, of his strong relig ious bins he has shown the World 11 specimen in his visit to Jerusalem out of which he has hoped to create n feel ing in Germany which would unite the jarring Protestant sects which by the way he has not realized but with all these attributes it is possible to make a mistake. The Emperor William thoroughly understands the different nations of Europe, what he does not understand and what no European in n million understands, is America. It is an un solved problem, n new element, and in dealing with it the lines laid down for dealing with European govern ments will not answer, nnd if he has gone to Spain to meddle in the nego tiations he may make a politcal mis take, though he might make a polti cul success, but it is a venture. One thing the Emperor must be given credit for, nnd that is courage. It is no light thing for a monarch to enter Spain, although lie may be well guarded. Guards do not prevent assnssination, ns witness the fate of Alexander of Itussia and of esident Cnrnot. Spain is full of an archists, especially in the southern part. This class of gentry is pretty desperate now, especially after the se vere measures taken against them af ter the murder of the Empress of Aus tria, and to bring down an Emperor would suit them admirably. Altogether the outcome of the Imii- pcror's Spanish visit will be watched with interest. November 14, 1898. ' The war with Spain is al most at an end. It is ended so far as actual hostilities are concerned, and only awaits formal declaration of peaco by the commission now in session in Paris. It is not so with the war in the tropics against the hot weather and constant care is required to keep your commissary from spoiling.

They are hero in all sizes, from the small one for the family of two, up to the largo size suitable for hotels and boarding houses. There is one feature we desire to call particular attention to in the Alaska Refrigerator. It is lined with mineral wool and has an air chamber be tween this and the inside lining, thus insuring economy in the amount of ice required to fsuchj an extent that the saving in the cost of ice will, in a short time, pay for the refrigerator. THAT IS ECONOflY. For those who are satisfied with a less fancy receptical, but just as good, we have the ALASKA ICE CHEST m all sizes, irom tlie very small to one that holds five hundred pounds of ice.
