The Hnwnihin Star of March 17, one ol the two sprightly dally pnpets pub lished nt Honolulu, contains this Item: "Yestetday and today have been rec ord dnxs for Honolulu harbor In the mutter of steam shipping. A most un- usiliil sight wns presented about S.01 o'clock this morning. The Gaulle wns still In view, steumlng to the xvist waid; the tiansporr Valencia was go ing out tin ough the oh,annol: to the enstxx aid of the Llinnner.s mouth tho JI low era wns hove to waiting for the Valencia to clear the channel, tho Dn llo to the westward of the channel's month was just finishing her voyage fiom the Orient to this port; while Walklkl of the Allow era, the steam whnler .leaiietlo was at anchor. In side th" hnrhnr In naval row was the big Itiltlsh steamship Aloninouthshlre, which ai rived yesterday fiom Yoko hama nud sailed today for Vortlnnd. Fin ther Uwn In navnl row was the Uni ted States st- nmshlp Wheeling, which at rived yesterday fiom Vancouver af ti i an AhisUan cruise. At the Alnll dock was the big United Stales collier Scindlu, which sails tomoirow for San Fianciseo. And at the Oceanic wharf was the Australia which art 1 veil Wed nesday. In the last three days eight ocean going steamships have arrived at this port, one man of war, one whaler and six merchant vessolb. In addition to these steam vessels the haibor Is unusually full of sailing ciaft. Never btfoie has there been such a striking ocular demonstration of the growing importance of Honolulu as a shipping and lommcrclal center." In the piess of more exciting news th" affairs of Hawaii have not recently reclvid much attention in the States; but it Is encouraging to learn from the Star's vvcll- dlted columns that the commerce of our mld-1'aclllc territory Is pioqrosslng satisfaetoiily, that gov ernment mutteis are going along smoothly and that a stiong delegation is likely to he sent to Washington next w litter to urge congress to organize the islnnds under a tenitorial form. The commercial ami strategic Impoitnnoe of Honolulu, ns a naval base commanding the whole sweep of the vast North Pncitlc, the future theater of our mer chant marine's greatest expansion, is sufficiently indicated In the quotation we have made to go a long way tovvaul justifying Hawaii's annexation. Th? Roll? Has Come for Ballot Reform Fiom tin- Philadelphia Times. Thi: ki:atoii our present e system In T passed tho ho J5IL.I amending complicated ballot Pennsylvania, has house tlnally and Is now pending in the senate. Uvery amendment It pt eposes lo our ptesenl ballot law is directly In the lino of honest leform and in favoi of intelli gent and Independent voting. It re times the percentage of voteis neces s.u.v to nominate candidates, nnd a.iollshes the dido nt the head of dlf feient tickets by which the voter can ni.itk u entile ticket by placing a cross within the circle. The ticket as pt ovlded by the Keatoi bill will bo veiy simple. It cannot lend to confu sion unless In the case of the most lg not ant of voteis, and they will have no more dllllculty In voting cotrectly under the Keator bill than they would have under nny other lnw. The names of ull the candidates for each particu lar oilico mo giouped under the title of the olllce, with the clear presenta tion of the paity that has nominated each candidate. Thus the voter who knows little about the candidates nud who desires to vote a solid party ticket, will only have to read the par ty name after each candidate nnd thus be tidily guided in piepnting his bal lot. This Is the pilnclplo of the otlg Inal Australian ballot that Is now known us the most honest ballot law ever presented to any country. n Vnder the present ballot law with the great blunket sheet ns the ticket nnd the names of the same candidates pi luted In different columns, It Is dif ficult even for an Intelligent citizen to ptopeily mm It his ballot; but when all the candidates for governor for In stance uie placed under the title of that ollice. with Kepublleun, Demo crat, Independent or by whatever other title the paity may be known, attached to tho names of the candi dates, theie can he no embnnassment to even the wayfaring voter. If he does not know the names of his patty candidates, or if ho docs not under btand the Hngllsh language, he can leuillly make out the nnmo of his par ty and thus avoid being misled in matking his ballot. Such ti ticket brings each voter to the consideration of all tho candidates, us he will be compelled to murk one for each olllce, nud that Is (ctinluly u comiueiiduble pilnclplo In u ballot law. The io nie txxo features which might well be ndded to tho Keator ballot bill. One should lcquire the Judges xxhen computing tho vote, to open any ballot box upon the suoin petition of ten or moie electois of the precinct, alleging fiaud. The ballut Is entltely sect el and there Is no ruasou why the ballot box should not be opened at any time when the Integrity of Its contents Is questioned. All the sanctity that per tnlns to the ballot box uiises fiom fot mer laws when by opening the box tho vote of each citizen could bo readi ly ascei tallied by compnilng tho num ber of the ticket with the number op posite the numo of the voter on the poll list. That hus pussed uvvay and with It bus gone nil sunctlty pertain ing to the sectcey of the ballot box. o Another amendment thnt would be voiy wise Is suggested by Mr. Wood ruff's pioposed amendment to the con stitution abolishing the payment if tuxes ns a necessuiy nuitlillcntlon for an elector. It Is only n few yeuis since the stttto voted by a very lnrge mn Joilty ngnlnst such nn amendment, and It xx-ns done because u large mn joilty of the people of the state uppie dated the pilceless pilvllege of the electlxe franchise that attnehes tn American citizenship. Instead of abolishing the tax iiimllflcatlon, evety citizen should be .Knultod to volun tarily register his name nud pay his taxes In peison, und the man who Is unwilling to pay :!." cents u onr for the privilege (if exercising the sover eign power of un Amerlcnn voter has no tltness for Ameilcan citizenship. In stead of cheapening and degrading the light of suffinge. wo should seek to elevate and sanctify It, nnd that can b done only by teaching Its grand importuned to every citizen. NEWS AND COMMENT.

When opportunity offers, this gentleman never fails to recom mend RipansTabtilcsand to give his own experience with them, which he relates as follows: ' 1'or fully twenty-five years I have been an asthmatic. As a general thing throughout the winter, I have to re main indoors at least three or four days in each month. I have suf fered a great deal yet all the precautions I might take did not keep me free from these terrible attacks. About eighteen months ago I commenced taking Rl PANS TAHULES to regulate my stomach. I am of a bilious temperament, and as soon as I become bilious I am sure to have attacks of asthma. The Tabules keeps my stomach all right, and for the past year I have not been confined to the house at nil. My asthma is not cured but the attacks arc very slight. T use on an average two Tabules every Sunday, one on Wednesday and one on Friday." ' Odd Lamps Wc have a number that wc will close out AT COST This is a chaucc to get a good lamp for little nioucy.
