The minority has q arssvancs.

The five Democratic members of City
Council. constituting as they do the
minority in that body. have grievance,
and 1t seems to MS just one They
claim that the majority treats them with
scant courtesy, never consults them in
the contracting Of bills and the expendl
ture Of money, and when the bills are
incurred and they file the slightest Of
objections meet them with: 1--WE are
the majority, and we don't propose TO let
you, poor. Insignificant tail, wag the
body Of the deg polite II you don't
like these bills. they will be passed all
the same. What are you going to do
about 1t, anyway"
On several occasions there has been
some high kicking, but the hat has been
held too high to permit of much execu.
tion being done. The members OF the
minority are persistent, however, and
never fail to file a protest. knowing as
they know that the censure, II any, will
fall on them as well as the majority.
One Of the expenditures which has
created their strongest ire is that for the
repairing Of the City Hall tower. Some
time ago the Public Buildings Committee
had this tower examined by local CON
tractor He pronounced 1t In excellent
condition, and good for twenty
years. Some months ago 1t be.
gan to leak. and another exam
ination was made which resulted In the
discovery that the pillars we're rotten,
and the general condition unsafe. The
came contractor who passed on 1t before
was delegated to make repairs, and before
he got through his bill amounted to
several hundred dollars. The Democratic
minority members had made a protest to
having the work done without advertls
ing for bids, as required by ordinance,
and the bill was 8 problem which called
for study.
The majority finally decided to split
the bill up into number OF smaller ones
none Of them over 500, the limit Of the
ordinance, and In this shape they were
presented to Council. A vigorous
opposition from the minority members,
led BY Councilman Smith Of the Eleventh
ward, was made, but they were audited.
Now comes the result Although but
little over six months OF the fiscal year
have elapsed, the public bulIdings-appro-
priation has disappeared, and last night
81, 200 was transferred from the inclden-
tai expense fund, to keep this one along.
Again the minority opposed and again
the majority won.
This state of affairs is true In every
fund and none win prove sufficient to
last the year out. and as result the
next Council will 60 In with deficiencies

Since the clos, ul .Y- h.I , recess
the House 81 Representa- ves bos beco
little better thau mob. Practically
there has been no organization, because
the absence OF the Democratic members
has put it In the power oftho Republican,
TO leave the house without a quorum at
any moment and to block the public busi-
ness. This looseness has enabled Mr..
Boutelle OF Maine to keep up an unceas-
ing clamor for the consideration OF his
"priyileged resolution" on Hawaiian
affairs, and for others to unite with him
in the effort to obstrnct the tariff dis.
cussion.
Friday the Democrats made a better
showing than for two or three days previ-
ously, but were still unable to muster a
quorum when the test came. Several
members on the majority side had ar
rived since Thursdays adjournment, and
Speaker Crisp held the House well up to
its work. He administered a severe rap
on the knuckles to Mr.. Boutelle, who
continued his often i've interruptions and
foolish motions as persistently as ever.
The motion for the previous question on
the adoption OF the special order, the Will
son bill, was at last put to vote, but the
Republicans continued their obstructive
tactics by refusing TO answer to their
names, and the vote lacked eleven OF n
quorum.
1t is to be regretted In the interest OF the
the public business that Boutelle cannot
be persuaded to 60 to Honolulu and the
Democratic mem bers to go to Washington.

HARRoDsBURG, Ky, Jan. s.-About 30
whitecaps went to the home Of Joseph
Mitchell at Leesburg, and dragged him
from his house. Mitchell broke away and
started for his house, but his body was
filed with buckshot and he fell dead en-
the doorsill. Leaving Mitchsll's body,
they next visited the home of Brock
Bottoms and dragged him out and gave
him 30 lashes' on his bare back, badly
lacerating the flesh. A rope was placed
around his neck, but the entreaties OF his
wife and children caused the men to
relsnt. Several others were badly
whipped, and ordered to leave the coun-
try. Whitecaps have been terrorizing
the people hereabouts for some time.
