OURSELVES.

The INDEPENDENT has made giant
strides towards public patronage
during the two weeks Of its exist
ence The fact proves that healthy
opposition is acceptable-even de-
manded by the intelligent citizen,
and that the average reader is sick
and tired OF reading the one-sided
twaddle which daily appears in the
two-and-a half official organs. A let
ter from "solid" man on Kauai re-
ceived by The INDEPENDENT is only
one in many sent to us by political
"enemies:"
Mr.. EDMUND NoRRrE, Editor The In
DEPENDENT, Honolulu,
Dear Sir: 4 beg to thank you for
copies OF The INDEPENDENT, and if
you can manage to continue the
publication of your paper for the
next six months without being run
in" for libel, heresy or purloining
others newspapers, and avoid being
swallowed up" in revolutions or
combination Of newspapers, / wish
you would send me your publication
for the next six months. The Ad-
vertiser tells us what good govern
ment we have, and your sheet what
bad government, and perhaps lib
eral doses OF both might be taken to
advantage to enable the reading
public to strike balance sheet.

Early Risers.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears
acrown." People who travel through
streets and roads at an early hour
will frequently meet the high Off
eials flying on horseback here and
there. Whether it is for the pur.
pose OF exercise or to guard against
Ashiord's filibusters we cannot state.
This morning the President and his
bodyguard Willie Rice were hunt
ing the Kalihi grounds, while the
great soldier Colonel Mclean, U, S.
N, was humping along the Waikiki
road with his eagle eye fixed on any
fillbust ering sail that might appear
in the distance. Do these great
men ever sleep?

The Reverend Macarthur now
sojourning in Hawaii is renowned
as an eloquent and honest lecturer,
an upright and true Christian. He
has SO far avoided falling into the
trap which closed so cruelty on the
clumsy hoof of the unsuspecting
Cook. 1t is to be hoped that the
reverend gentleman, when he leaves
these shores, will uphold his good
name by refusing to give to the
world a one. sided, bigoted and
utterly false description Of the stu
alton in Hawaii. That is what he
receives while here. Let him store
it in his valise and use his own judg.
ment.

We don't know il the Attorney
General was facetious in the Senate
on Saturday or was he serious, but
his insinuations were certainly not
fattering to two of our "institu-
tious.' During the debate in the
Senate on the police appropriation
he stated that since the appoint
ment OF the present mounted patrol.
men there were no more burglaries
or burglars in town. What did he
mean? He also stated that the ma.

corners, at school and other places
where lawless persons were likely to
congregate. Gee Willigan

MAUI NOTES.

A lovely day and general good
will combined m ade the annual race
meeting OF the Maui Racing Associ-
alton success. For the first time
in number of years hard north
east wind did not prevail. Five
races only were run off. Accidents
to Mineola and Oscurious prevent
ed the races in which they were en-
tered being run. Owing to ssome
misunderstanding the Corinthian
race was not run.
The FIRST race had seven ponies to
start, all of which faced the wire.
After considerable scoring all got
away to good start. Van Dyke
was too fast for the company and
came out an easy winner. Time,
5945.
The second race, trotting 3 min
ute class, was easily won by @.
Miles borse Obas. S. Time, 3.01 and
305. The driver Of Minnie Brown
was 6ued $40 by the judges. The
owner of Duke OF Waikapu entered
protest against Chas. SIS being
given the race, as he had record
better than three minutes.
The third race had as starters
Minnie, Cora and Dash. Minnie
won easily. Time, 1.57.
The fourth and last race Of the
day was won by Bushwacker.
A ball was given in the evening
by the III. G. g. S. Co. at the Spreck-
elsville hall, and like all previous
affairs given at that place was very
successful. Mr.. d. Center acted as
floor manager and was ably assisted
by the boys. Special trains carried
invited guests from Wailuku and
Paa. Among those present we're:
Mr.. and Mrs. d. Center, Mr.. and
Mrs. t. S. Dickens, Mr. and Mrs. E.
B. Carley, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Neil, Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. Mckay, Mr. and

ris, Mr.. and Mrs. t. B. Lyons, Mrs
Ananson, Misses Whitney, Friel,

Jones, Crook, Belts, Messrs. Spreck-
els, Scott, Howell, Highly, Eiger,
Chillingsworth, Cummings, Quill,
Maynard, Wilbur (2), Mossman, Lud-
ington, Hazelton, Biven, Schraeder,
and many others.
The people of Makawao celebrat-
ed the day with picnic at Sunny
Side.
r. A. G.. had his place tastefully
decorated and had smile on his
face the whole day.
Mr.. Fred. Hayselden came over
from Lahaina.
No familiar Honolulu faces were
seen on the track this year.
Mr.. G. P. Wilder entertained a
large party at his house during the
day and evening.

MONDAY, JULY 8, 1894.
THE ALLOWANCE FOR KA1U-
LAM.

The Senators of the Republic Of
Hawaii-God save the mark--have
ventilated their opinions as to the
advisability of granting the Princess
Kaiulani an allowance, in such a
manner as to make it impossible for
that lady to accept the sum voted
This is probably what was intended.
The desire to appear we'll abroad
doubtless led to the insertion of
item in the appropriation bill. This
intention is expressed in SO many
words by Mr.. Hatch, the Minister OF
Foreign Relations, who also forgot
his role SO far as to say that he
would grant it as "moral right"
Senators Horner, Wright and Nc
Candless we're honest, if brutal.
They are Of those who believe that
monarchs aud monarchies have no
rights that republican is bound to
respect. We have heard this ex-
preston from the lips OF a woman
who professed to be a Christian,
aud can make some allowances for
such men as the Senators under con-
sideration. At least they are coura
geous. The question of Senator
Waterhouse. elias Kaiulani ever
done anything against the present
government" suggests another. Has
the questioner ever done anything
for it9 We mean in the best sense OF
doing. OF Senator Brown it may
be said that he rode his usual "two'
horse act" Senator Baldwin was
the same old representative Baldwin,
so we'll known in the days of the
monarchy, ever striving to impress
his listeners with the idea that
though born of missionary stock, he
was not OF them, having thrown off
their narrowness and become good
fellow, you know. The trick is
stale. He always reminds us OF a
fable in which lions skin bore a
prominent though deceitful part.
What shall we say of the Attorney
General? Only this and nothing
more; that like the man who on
reaching the top of hill and found
that loose tail-board on his cart
was responsible for the loss of the
best part of load of apples, Ian
guage would fail to express our
feelings. We can imagine the whine
with which he delivered himself Of
his insincerity.

Senate on Saturday that the Citi.

it, but as McCandless belongs to the

A FEMALE BURGLAR.
New Role of the New Woman.
Shrieked When She Was Dis
nnuarad

New Role of the New Woman.
Shrieked When She Was Dis
covered.
The "new woman" has appeared
in the daring role Of burglar in San
Antonio. Her effort last night,
however, proved fizzle, as at the
critical moment her nerve was up
set and only an open back door, af.
fording escape saved, her from faint
ing away in the arms of her captors.
AS usual, she shrieked when she
found herself discovered.
The burglary was committed at
the house of q young Mexican
named Jimenez, at 2l4 Matamoras
street about o'clock last night.
The young man and his wife were
just returning home when they
heard some one in the house. They
surprised the burglar, who proved
to be woman. She gave heart
rending shrek and then tried to
run through a window. The glass
panes were smashed but the woman
could not break through. Then she
rushed into a side room, breaking
a lamp. and eventually escaped
out of side door into the yard be-
hind the house. About $40 worth
OF easily portable silverware was
carried off by the burglar. Officer
Pat Bergin made an investigation
and turned the case over to Detec-
tive Shelly. Later telephone call
came from the young man who
was robbed, for blood hounds to
trail this new woman burglar.

WANT HIM TO LEVY,

But Collector Umscheid Says He
Needs More Help for This Work.
A lively impromptu financial
discussion has OF late been going
on in city hall circles as to what
action the city collector ought to
take to get in the back taxes. The
question is asked, where will the
city get money to pay its employees
in October, November and so on ?
The back taxes must be relied on
for this and it looks impossible to
collect very large proportion Of
them. The collector says he can
point out twenty-five wealthy citi-
zens who owe a total OF over $780,
600 alone. The sale Of property to
pay for the taxes is farce because
the titles are not valid in this state
and no one will bid on the prop
erty.
Alderman Hoefling wants the COLI
lector to levy on the property, real
and personal, of the delinquents,
and Collector Umscheid is said to
be willing to do this IL he is given
sufficient aid 30 that he or one of
his thoroughly reliable deputies
can do the work personally. With
the small force that he now has he
would have to shut up his office
every time that he wanted to make
a levy Of this kind. 1t is matter,
he says, in which he must go very
slow, as not the city, but his own
bondsmen, would be held RESPONSE
BILE for the legality Of his actions in
levying on such property. The col
lector thinks that the department
which furnishes the wherewithal
to keep the government going
ought not to be the most crippled
one. 1t is saving at the wrong end.
