Shelby Ell DiiIard.

Bozeman Chronicles: 1t begins to
look as If ii were time to write the
journalistic obituary Of that erratic
and unpublished genius, Shelby Eli Dill
lard. The subject of this sketch was
born in Missouri, and was glad of it,
He came to Montana wearing only a
bald spot and pair of pants held up
by one gallus. But, be 1t said, that
the gallus was home production. Ac-
companying Eli was a thirst that has
been the admiration of communities
trying to induce a brewery plant to
establish itself in their midst Those
who raised barley always felt kindly
and grateful to Eli. 1t was his custom
to write hot, burning words of people
and things; but down in his big heart
he was as tame as a house cat that
feeds from your hand. Eli was warm
In his friendships and never as hostile
as he seemed. His bitter, biting sar-
casm was but a veneerthat covered a
genial, unobtrusive personality. In his
last venture he listened to and was led
by designing men, to further their own
ends. Too late he saw this and. seek
ing solace at the hands of John Bar
leycorn, he hid himself from view; per-
haps never to scintillate and shine in
Montana journalism again. But we
hope not.

Another County Heard From.

Townsend Messenger: The people of
the Missouri valley expect a cheerful ac-
quiescence from the remainder of Meagh-
er county in the matter of forming a new
county on this side of the range in 1896
They expect the bitterness and strife Of
the past to be avoided at that time, and
that the parent county, through it's rep
resentatives, will ask the legislature to
form this new county, appreciating it's
necessity and the right of the people in
terested to have IL established. Argument
is vain against selfish interests. and only
upon the proposition of right as II lives
in the minds and consciences of men. do
we refer at this distant time to it.

Editor Callerhead.

Great Falls Tribune: With the
change in the ownership of the Butte
Bystander there has also come a
change in the editorship of that popu-
list journal. The new editor, ]. III.
Calderhead. was formerly an employe
of the Montana Union railroad and
one OF the leading labor men in the
city OF Butte. He is a gentleman of
intelligence. integrity and convictions
Yet II will not be out of place to re-
mind him that when he was a candi-
date of the populist party in Silver
Bow county for state senator he sus-
tanned an Overwhelming defeat, and
especially in the seventh ward OF
Butte, a supposed stronghold of his
party. There Is honor in leading a
foriorn hope, but II appearances go
for anything honor is all that Mr.. Cald-
derhead can expect to get out of his
new venture. He deserves a better
fate.

A better fight to take up now is that
of trying to prevent the big cattle and

settlers. This is an evil that must be
checked at once or this country won't
be worth living in unless a man can

Death Of Thomas sorenson

By the death OF Thomas Sorenson
the country deplores again the loss
of the best koowu kamaainas. Mr..
Sorenson died this morning at 5
o'cl ok, having suffered from an at
tack of fever which finally proved
fatal.
The deceased was born 68 years
ago in EsInore, Denmark, and was
by trai Ia a ship carpenter. He left
his home as young man 10 seek his
fortune in America, and came to
these islands 35 years ago through
Mr.. Thomas Foster.
Thomas Sorenson acquired for
himself most enviable reputation
"a an upright honest and thoroughly
competent man. His modest ways
and the quiet manner in which he
pursued his work during the many
years he lived here gained him the
siDceres respect and admiration of
the community, which now extends
to his widow and their five surviv-
ing children a heartfelt sympathy.
The departed who was promi-
nent mason will be buried tomorrow
afternoon at 3 o'clock from the
homestead on Nuuanu street.

TOPICS Of The DAY.

We are told that the chief objec-
tion of our rulers in the recent "com-
mittee of thirteen" case was not to
the facts as alleged, but TO the fact
that, in government prosecution,
government employees stood by
their personal friends and acquaint-
ances, and did not swear 10 what
the government prosecution requir
ed. This is something extraordinary.
Because man draws wages or sal
ary from the government must he
endorse, without question, every Off
cial act of every official under that
government? Ii so, as A. G.. M.
Robertson said in court the other
day, we had better live in Russia.
Alleged perjury iu some people
is passed over with rprInand
from the Judge la some others il
is visited with arrest and bail bond.
Why the difference9 Public opinion
does not demand that personal
pique on the part of prosecut ors
who lost their cases, or do not get
the alleged offender punished as
heavy as they think he deserves,
should cut no figure. Often ces are
only grave as far as the public sense
Of the community repudiates them
not so far as an individual may re-
probate them. What is legally per-
jury may be approved az sound
morals by the sense OF the public.
Remember severity swings the pen-
dulum to the other extreme. Be
judicious. Never go too far in one
direction or the public and general
sense will generally smite you as far
the other way.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-09-21

has been proved that sewerage, in
stead Of being source OF expense,
has become an important source of
revenue. So also in Sydney, Ade-
laide and Melbourne, Australia.
If commission should be APP.
pointed it would be well for ii tn ln-
stitute a thorough investigation OF
all the streams aud see how many
cesspools, etc, have their outlets
into the streams. The Kameha-
meha Schools at one time used the
Waipilopilo stream as an outlet.
That is now changed and the schools
use the pump. But in Nuuanu aud
other streams there are yet numer-
Gus instances where the streams are
used as sewers.
The manner in which public works
now are conducted does not create
great admiration for the sagacity
Of the "chief" or the Board of
Health. We are told that crabs in
the harbor are most unhealthy, aud
we now see seawall being built
which seems specially intended as a
home, aud breeding place, for the
dirty black crab against which we
are warned. Instead of building
cemented seawall with foundation
on the coral wall is being erected
of lot of rocks piled on the sand.
The crabs are simply having a jubi-
lee among Mr.. Rowell's latest mas
terwork. There can be no doubt
that it would be wise to have the
borders of all streams walled in by
solid stone walls without any ere
vices for the breeding OF the un-
wholesome animal which, alas, the
Hawaiians recently have been OBJ
liged to feed on almost exclusively.
And il such commission is ap-
pointed, the sanitary conditions OF
Honolulu will get an overhauling-
not a whitewashlng-to the very
underpinning OF the town, and the
Board of Health agents may get
raking up on that occasion. At he
quarantine quarters at Kapuukolo,
there is cesspool which has stood
uncovered for nearly three weeks,
and which certainly is capable of
filling the air surrounding the quar-
antined quarters with stencil germs
and pestilence. The commission
would surely see such nuisance
abated at once.
Near South street is being erected
a house right in one of the swamps
of stagnant green infected water,
and human beings are to live in the
house, and ducks and pigs presuma-
bly, under it.
We therefore suggest to the Gov
ernment that as soon as the cleaning
day is over and thu town virtually
declared free from cholera, COM
mission be appointed to decide on
all the necessary alterations condu
Give to improving the sanitary con-
ditions of Honolulu; to furnish
plans and specifications to the Min
lister of Finance. And then sit
back and watch where the money is
to come from, and how the work
VIII progress
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-09-21


GUS now to start a line of alterations
and improvements in Honolulu. The
cholera is checked for the present
at least and we hope that the ad-
ministration will pursue its plans in
vigorous manner.
Before starting it seems to us that
it will be wise plan for the govern
ment to appoint commission OF
responsible and practical men to
thoroughly inspect the city and sub
NIT final proposition for the work
which is considered necessary by
them to he accomplished.
Very little is ever gained by tink-
ering here and there, and then per.
haps doing the job over again. Un.
der such condition it appears to
us to be impossible for the minister
of finance to calculate and offer an
opinion whether the treasury can
afford to spend the money and, If
not to consider how the necessary
funds can be raised.
One day we hear about PROPOSE
tion to move the washhouses to Ka-
kaako. Go ahead says the superin
tendent of public works and he
makes an estimate(O as to the cost
OF such removal. Later on it is de-
cided to have beach road passing
through Kakaako and general OBJ
lection is raised against adorning
such road with the odorous Chinese
wash-shops. The plan is then aban-
doned, another site found, other
plans and specifications made and
new propositions presented to the
minister of finance.
And no it is with the sewerage,
the regulations of the streams the
cesspools, the seawalls and the new
roads.
We are too inclined to tinker in
stead of facing the music, and decid-
ing what is necessary to be done to
secure good sanitary condition and
at the same time have an eye to
beautifying the town and doing
work which will be OF the most
practical utility.
II a commission is appointed as
suggested it could work hand in
hand with the Improvement associ-
alton" proposed recently by Mr..
Thurston which ought to be orga-
nized without delay. If a commits
sion is composed of the men who
know the town thoroughly, from
practical experience, good and last
ing work can be done and the treas
ury will know exactly what finances
will be needed.
The sewerage is the most impera-
tive want at present. 1t will be of
course an immense expense but we
believe it possible at all times to
raise a loan in England for public
improvements which will eventually
enhance the value of the whole
country Full specifications and
plans have been in the hands of the
Government, and we presume that
that the reason why no steps have
been taken to start the work has
been the lack of money, and a lack
of sense that there was any immedi-
ate necessity for a sewerage. The
recent cholera epidemic has proved
the unhealthy condition the town is
in. The present cesspool system
has 'fed" the subsoil OF Honolulu
with germ-breeding, fetid matter
that it is a miracle that we have en-
countered no epidemic heretofore.
We do not believe in giving the sew
ers an outlet in the harbor. They
must either be carried to the other
side OF the reef, which would cause
very heavy expense, or the pumping
system used in most cities in Eu-
rope must be adopted. In London,
Hamburg, Copehagen and other
well-regulated cities in Europe, II
