tongues to run about their own
government, or the government OF
any friendly power in the manner
which seems to be the custom among
the employees of the United States.
It is not alone among the officers,
however, that the lack Of discipline
is conspicuous. The sailor and the
soldier are imbued with the same
spirit OF insubordination and in
American style they pass resolutions
against their superiors and write
stacks OF letters to the newspapers
complaining about alleged wrongs
done to them by their commanders
Such thing is unheard Of in the
armies aud navies OF the old world.
But as long as such semi-commu-
nistic idea pervades the service ct
the United States and is tolerated, IL
not even encouraged, the day will
come when it will be found that
these independent" soldiers make
very poor soldiers

THE LOVE FEAST.

The petition of the leading citi-
zens of Honolulu, regardless OF poll
tical color, asking the Executive to
liberate the political prisoners yet
confined in Oahu jail meets violent
opposition from the Advertiser-th
missionary organ-w which at all times
has placed itself on record against
any mercy being shown to the un-
fortunate men who are accused of
having been implicated in the So
called revolution.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-11-23

The Advertiser graciously says
tnat it does not expect or anticipate
a love-feast. But it does believe
that the time to strike a bargain has
come. That by liberating the pri-
soners the opposition should show
its willingness to come into the fold,
to take the oath, to assist by it's
overwhelming numbers in furthering
the schemes OF the ruling clique, to
sacrifice principles aud opinions,
and like the Advertiser itself be-.
come lick-spittling sycophants of the
oligarchy.

u
the late epidemic of what vital
pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in OPT
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only a third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in a high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out Of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in a storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of a tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, ard the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent "a
piece of work can be turned out
at so low a price.

dimensions where it has become
necessary to check it. The annexa-

TRY THE BALLOT.

The sense of the editor from
Kennebunkport is fine, in fact quite
refreshing. Out Of an editorial pub
lished yesterday, we select the fol-
lowing sentence. "It would be
interesting to ascertain how
many times Mr.. Cleveland wants
this country to ask for an
nexation before being convinced
that it is really the desire of the
people," The editor evidently
thinks that his patrons in the
Executive building are the people,
and if they desire annexation that
the rest of us must say Amen.

ment of releasing those in jail in

ed with great deal OF assurance
that the "people of Hawaii" want
annexation, and it will not be long
before Miss Field, il she wants the
truth, will realize the fsllacy OF such
postulate. Miss Field, accord
ing to the Advertiser, has already
expressed her views on matters per-
tanning to Ha avail, OF which she can
not know anything yet from personal
observation. She follows apparent
ly the example OF other writers de-
tailed to see Hawaii aud the Hawai-
ians in certain light by taking her
cue from the charming" people who
hastened to greet her and invite her
to Central Union Church socials
and other insi pid eDterl ailments of
a similar nature. If Miss Field
wants the truth and only the truth
we will strike the warming note and
advise her to use her own indepeDd-
ent observations and not depend on
the "charming" people who hereto
fore have furnished "Hawaiian his
tory" to the Republican papers of
the Uuited States. Her intelligence
and experience as a writer will not

In Hawaii we have a Custom
House, 1t is we'll. Many times we
have criticised it. Yet it has it's uses.
But we must say like almost every
thing else-the Government has
done, it has done its utmost to rasp
the business community when lit
tie tact would have attained the
same ends and everything would
have gone smoothly. 1t is now
about Christmas time, and the minds
OF the people are set on Christmas
gifts, aud our trades peoples minds
are set on having them buy them.
Yet the Custom House officials seize
this opportunity to seize all the
Christmas gifts aud other goods to
thoroughly exam ne them. Tue idea
is a proper aud good one, but the
time chosen is siugularly unfortu-
nate. The examinatjon takes time.
The results may increase the amount
due the Treasury. But it delays
business and the Custom House
authorities might have expedited it
by going little beyond routine aud
examining the goods as they we're
unpacked in the stores for which
they we're destined. Aud as all have
not been apparently served alike, it
seems there is cause for objection.

The fact OF the matter is that
Messrs. Morgan, Hoare, Lodge and
possibly other leaders of the Repub.
licau party, have thought to make a
strong point on the Hawaiian ques,
tion, and Mr.. Cleveland's latest
move, if he has made one, cuts the
ground out from under the Repub.
lican leaders.

have to man signed the petition
whenever they we're "asked" The
rabid element among the Govern
ment supporters have unhesitatingly
joined the petitioners. The most
conservative "royalists" who usually
ask no favor OF the Government
have placed their names to the petit
tion. The American League has
passed resolutions favoring the OBJ
ject Of the petition which has been
signed by the officers of the League.
Veal even the representative of the

Thank you, Mr.. Advertiser, for
your kind offer. We have the well
fare OF Hawaii as much, if not more,
at heart than you have, and it is
solely for that reason that we advo-
cate the release of the prisoners.
Individually they are nothing to the
petitioners to the Government. 1t
is because it is wise and to the ad-
vantage of the country that the pc
titioners pray for the liberation of
all political prisoners. 1t is not a
personal matter. 1t is purely a ma
tional matter.
When the cages of the political

Mr.. Stevens is recognized as one Of
the best posted authorities in the coun-
try on these interesting communities,
which are attracting so much attention
as a result of the changes wrought by
the Eastern war. Mr.. Stevens will keep
abreast of current news subjects, draw
ing upon the funds of official informa-
ton at his command, and also from his
personal experiences during years of
residence In China, Japan and Corea.
