THE ASSESSMENT. QUES-
TON.
TON.

To equalize assessments SO tina,
every object upon which it is placed
will bear equal and exact proper
tons OF justice, without detriment
to any, has been a vexed question
and source of annoyance to the
assessors who mean to do their duty
strictly according to law.
But it seems the law is of such a
nature that in spite of the best in
eentions some injustice creeps in,
out to what extent in the aggregate
It is hard to say. 1t has been de-
monstrated by some newspapers in
the State that while the small land
owner pays taxes on a full valua-
ton OF his property, the large and
rich land owner generally escapes
with a moderate assessment Some
time since The Gazette read a state
nent wherein it was alleged that the
assessment placed on a large estate
was $40 an acre, and on the resi-
dence, costing 5000, at only $1,000;
while on the other hand, a small
farmer owning 50 acres was as
sessed at $40 an acre and on his
shanty costing $500, the amount
was fixed at S25o, proportion out
of all reason, There may be many
such instances throughout the State
for aught we know. It is in just
such cases where the wrong creeps
in, and it is to correct this evil that
the press of the State are agitating
a discussion having in view the
creation of a law that will make as
sessments uniform upon the value
of property.
1t is not Goo much to hope that
the legislative commission recently
appointed to suggest needed amend
ments in the organic law of the
State will find it within the scope of
their duties to pay some attention
20 this important question.
A system that will permit reas-
enable assessment on the real value
of property would, no doubt, prove
an eficacious remedy to the present
defective manner of reaching a true
and correct assessment on actual
values.

1t is admitted that there has been
no systematic effort made to bring
she merits Of or rich soil, genial
climate, and other material advan-
Eages before the world of home
seekers. Except in the instance OF
the Southern Pacific railroad and
the Watkins syndicate, no effective
efforts have been put forth, and
these companies have been inst1u-
mental in bringing in large immi-
grafton, but these efforts have been
confined to Calcasieu parish. That
parish is to-day settled. by a thrifty
and intelligent set of people, just
that kind that make the prosperity
ola country: From being way down
in the scale that parish is to-day
well up, and all because her peo-
pie have spent the time and means
necessary to correctly inform the
world, just the sort of country
they have got.
We do not believe the state
ment that the lands Of Lafayette are
by far more fertile and better
adapted to the growth of a larger
variety of plants, can be successfully
controverted, yet for every immi-
grant that stops in our parish, Cal
casieu receives fully 500, and the
reason lies in the fact that they know
absolutely nothing of our lands
No one can with justice feel jea-
3ous of Calcasieu; she deserves every
immigrant that steps within her Dor
ders, because she has gone after
them, and she should reap the bene-
fit of her labors.
In penning this article We simply
wish to show that the prosperity of
che parish depends entirely on the
efforts of her people, and that the
of Calcasieu is for the pur-
pose of showing that her growth and
came, not by any element
Of chance, but solely by intelligent
effort on the part of her people, and

themselves; and she certainly sue

wagons were fairly loaded down with
children, their light and pretty cos

most striking and pretty picture

GENERAL KIRBY SMITH As A PROFESSOR.
And yet, as the world knows, Kirby
Smith was hard fighter. He comes of
family of fighters. He was born in st.
Augustine and graduated from West
Point in 1916 In the Mexican war he
earned two brevets for signal gallantry
at Cerro Cordo and Contreras. He served
IN several campaigns against the Indians
and was wounded by the Comanches in
Texas in 1859 He was tenderly nursed
by lady whom he afterward married.
He became major of the United States
army in January, 1861, but resigned in
Anril when the state of Florida seeded.
General Smith was the last sur
vivor of the seven distinguished
generals of the Confederate army,
and the last of the list of full gem
erals on both sides. He was ap-
pointed a brigadier in the Confed-
crate army under Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, and was badly wounded
while leading his brigade into ac-
ton at the first battle of Manassas.
Made maior-general in 1862, he
was transferred to East Tennessee
and placed in command of that de-
partment. Under General Bragg
he led the advance in the invasion
of Kentucky, and routed the Union
forces at Richmond in that State,
advancing to Frankfort. Promoted
to the grade of acknowledgement,
he engaged in the battle at Perry
vile and Murfreesborough. He
was then placed in command of the
trans-Mississippi department, OPP
posing General Banks in his Red
River campaign and engaging in
the battle of Jenkins Ferry. He
was the last to surrender the forces
under his command, May 25, 1865.
After the war closed he became
President of the Atlantic and Pa
citic Telegraph Company, but in
1870 he found more congenial occu-
patton as Chancellor of the Uni
versity of Nashville, which five
years later he resigned for the
professorship he held at the time of
his death last month.-[New York

President Lincoln on Hawaii.

1t may interest your readers to
know whether Abraham Lincoln,
if he had been spared to us until
the present time, would have ap-
proved the treaty for the annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands, now
pending before the Senate of the
United States. The following in
cident gives an indication of his
views upon the general subject.
In 1864 the Hon. Elisha H. Allen
came to the United States as an
Envoy, and. if I rightly remember,
the first Envoy Extraordinary from
those Islands. On June 18th in
that year, when Mr.. Allen pre-
scented his credentials. President
Lincoln thus addressed him:
"SIR: In every light in which
the state of the Hawaiian Islands
can be contemplated it is an object
of profound interest for the United
States. Virtually, it was once a
colony. 1t is now a near and init
mate neighbor. 1t is a haven of
shelter and refreshment for our
merchants, fishermen, seamen and
other citizens when on their lawful
occasions they are navigating the
eastern seas and oceans. Its people
are free, and It's laws, language and
religion are largely the fruit of our
own teaching and example. The
distinguished part which you, Mr..
Minister, have acted in the history
of that interesting country is well
known here. 1t gives me pleasure
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-02

to assure you of my sincere desire
to do what can to render now
your sojourn in the United States
agreeable to yourself, satisfactory
to your sovereign, and beneficial to
the Hawaiian people"
This address was made nearly
thirty years ago. The words of
Abraham Lincoln do not deterior-
ate by time. L. Z. CHITTENDEN.

FIRE INSURANCE RATES.
4 New Rate Book Will Shortly
Be Published.

If there is anything which the
ordinary business man or any other
person in the islands desires more
than another it is to get his fire in
surance rate lowered. Much COM
plant has been made that our
rates are higher than in San Fran
cisco or even in other Pacific coast
towns.
The Honolulu Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, mindful of these COM
plants and DESTROYS of yielding all
possible aid to their patrons, have
finally secured from the Pacific In
surance Union the services of Mr..
Conroy to re-rate Honolulu. He
arrived by the last Australia and
after surveying the field for a few
days made a very interesting and
instructive report to the Honolulu
Board last week. Mr.. Conroy is
a practical and experienced insur-
ance man. He looks over the field
in a practical and business-like
way. His talk was not only enter
tanning, but was very instructive.
Although not so well situated as
either Portland or Seattle for ex-
tinguishing fires, Honolulu will
probably hereafter be allowed the
advantage of similarrates. Portland
is supplied with water from the
Willamette river by eight fire
pumps, which raise the water to
high level whence it is distributed
by gravity, and can also pump
directly into the mains. In addi-
ton a company which supplies
power for all of the elevators, ETC.,
can put sixteen fire streams on a
fire. The fire department has eight
steamers, besides several hook and
ladder and hose companies.
Seattle draws its supply from
Lake Washington, a magnificent
body of water, and it is supplied by
gravity or direct pumping, as in
Portland. There are six steam fire
engines besides hose carts and hook
and ladder companies, and a splen-
did fire boat capable of putting
twenty-six streams on any fire
within three blocks of the water.
Portland and Seattle have wide
streets and well constructed fire.
proof buildings. Honolulu's streets
with few exceptions would be
as alleys in those places,
and our brick buildings do not
come up to the standard in thick
ness of walls as well as in other
Mr.. Conroy will proceed to a
personal inspection of Honolulu
fire risks, and it is probable that
our insurers as well as the insured
will be well satisfied with the re-
suits obtained, which will shortly
be published in a new rate book.

KAIULANI
Engaged to Give Davies-Mr.
CIeShoru Denies 1t.


The ADVERTISER has received
information from a private source,
of great credit, to the effect that
the ex-Princess Kaiulani is really
engaged to be married to a son of
Theo. H. Davies. The young gen.
tleman in question, Mr.. Give Da-
vies, is now studying at the Insti-
tute of Technology at Boston. 1t
is stated that he admits the fact
of his betrothal with the ex-Prin-
cess.
1t is well known that Kaiulani
was often a guest of Mr.. Davies at
his home in Southport, England,
and the intimate relations subsist-
ing between the families concerned
might naturally lead to the forma-
ton of the closer tie. The pros
pect of such union would account
in some measure for the extraordi-
nary zeal lately displayed by Mr..
Davies on behalf of the ex-Prin-
cess.
Governor Cleghorn was seen by
an ADVERTISER reporter last week,
who asked him whether it was a
fact that Kaiulani was engaged to
young Davies.
There is not word of truth in
it" exclaimed Mr.. Cleghorn hast
