Ed. The INDEPENDENT:--
Allow me on behalf of a number
Of Wailuku people to thank you for
the stand your valuable paper has
taken in regard to the manslaughter
of young "Chips" We appreciate
your efforts, although, as could be
expected, they did not cause the
authorities to make an investigation.
The correspondent to the Adver-
tiser, who is we'll known here, in
dulges in lot OF dirty lies, which
of course was to be expected. But
we cannot see why the Marshal and
the Attorney-G General should be in
different to the matter simply at
the say-so of an Advertiser corre-
spondent, and OF sheriff, who is the
special protector" of the two po-
licemen who committed the out
rage.
The boy, as has been stated in
your paper before, was undoubtedly
under the influence Of liquor He
was, as believe you, Mr.. Editor, are
personally aware, harmless little
fellow, who easily could be handled
by any single police officer. He was
arrested in front o Young Hee's
store, where he was singing and
dancing. The officers treated him
most cruelty in the presence Of re-
liable witnesses, who were never
called to give evidence at the sham
inquest, which was held in a most
quiet and secret manner after the
death of the boy. The names of
those witnesses are enclosed here
with. If the Marshal of the republic
should wake up to the propriety of
investigating the matter he is well
come to them; but in Wailuku we
don't expect anybody to step on the
toes OF our red czar.
1t was stated by the Advertiser
correspondent that the boy died at
Kahului. When he was brought to
Jail, an official, l understand the
Sheriff's clerk, stated loudly that the
boy ought to be brought to the hos
pital and not to the Jail. A doctor
was sent for and the boy was sent to
the hospital, where he died on the
folio wing Tuesday without ever re-
covering consciousness. The doc
tors, | understand were very guard
ed in their statements in regard to
the cause of the young fellows
death. 1t would probably not do
for them to express themselves con-
trary to the desire of the czar.
You can be sure of one thing, Mr..
Editor, that the Government has
made no friends here by its neglect
in Investigating, and the obvious at
tempt OF its authorities at shielding
the guilty officers.
The poor dead boy may have been
.friendless and poor, and OF distinctly
"royalist" tendencies, but his death
under the stated circumstances
has widened the gulf between the
different parties here, aud has Great
ed feeling of Indignation against
the Marshal and the other authori-
ties which will not be smoothed
down until the men who killed
"Chips" are brought before the bar
of justice, FAIR PLAY.

Another government apologist has
come out in the Star. What has
driven him frantic is the exposure
of the state of the government fin
ances. He says: "The truth is that
the government pays its salaries and
expenses the same as any concern in
good standing, has reserve and has
no trouble in borrowing money when
cash is needed" What the Star
writer means by 'good standing" is
difficult to discern. How often have
government employees had to take
I o US on pay-days' How often
have the pay-days been postponedi
As to the "reserve" it is only main
tanned by not paying obligations on
presentations case not known be-
fore. The outstanding bills unpaid,
and months overdue, would swallow
up two or three such reserve as we
have, if paid now. As to the trouble
in borrowing money" how about
the treasury notes which were offered
for sale but no bids were received.
He goes on to say $l25,0O0 has been
spent to put down the insurrection,
and $65,OOO or more on account of
cholera, and that extensive public
improvements are under way, and
there has been considerable expen-
diture on military" AS for the first
two items, while we regard them as
extravagant, the circumstances JUS
tilted extra expenditure. For the
third, the "extensiveness" OF the i'm
provements is in the projects not
in the expenditure. For the last, it
is the curse of the country, and the
cause of much of the deficiency
which, without the extra for revolu-
tion and cholera, has averaged over
$4,000 a month since the Provi.
sional Government took hold. Yet,
even the Star writer after all his
allegations, has to acknowledge a
deficit, for he says: 9The outcome
is most likely to be tariff and Ii

The Advertiser calls attention to
the fact that there are but eleven
boarders at Oahu College. This
facts encourages us in the behalf
that the people Of these islands
can be depended upon to care for
the best interests of the rising
generation. The Board of Trustees
of Oahu College, with President
Dole in the lead, thought the
public opinion could be smothered
by whitewashing President Hosmer.
The case against Mr.. Hosmer was
too strongly established in the
minds of parents and guardians to
be obliterated by the twaddle and
gush OF President Dole and his
eminently respectable colleagues.
The silent rebuke conveyed in the
figures of the Advertiser can only
be CALLING to President and Trustees
of Oahu College. Wise parents do
not send their offspring to board
where the President utters jokes
of double meaning at his dinner
table, and to receive first lessons
in deceit by appropriating the
thoughts of others and passing
them off as their own compositions.
The scandals OF the college became
too notorious for decent people.

When they, as they did in the pre-

the response was cordial and unani-

their fears appeased, they returned
to their former habits as "a SOW to

o most serious manner uurlng
the late epidemic of what vital
Importance 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 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, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece of work can be turned out
at SO low a price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor

endeavor at suppression OF trade in
the drug. 1t is estimated that
duty on opium and a tax on dealers
would yield over 100000 per an
mum. This would much. more than
cover any possible deficit" So the
outcome OF nearly three years OF the
"best government Hawaii ever had"
is that we are to license the impor-
tation and sale of opium, TO prevent
which was one OF the chief allega-
tions in excuse Of the overthrow OF
the monarchy. Methinks the apo
logist has only made the case worse.

The dyspeptic individual who

that we see black specks dance be-
fore our eyes. He says that is the
cause OF our dyspepsia and alleges
that they "are not tangible objects
that positively exist in the political
atmosphere" AS he and his faction

glad to have his assurance that
they are not tangible objects that
positively exist" Unfortunately the
taxpayers will not probably believe
him. till they see those intangible
nonexistent "black specks" disgorge
into the depleted treasury the enor-
nous amounts which once we're tan

and it's attendant crew of "black

uses. In his mildly humorous way

Now we think that the gentleman
in question must have been posing
before his mental mirror, and un-
consciously describing his own re-

The Caledonia, n. Y, Advertiser tells
a true story of two farmers in that town.
They were blowing in adjoining fields. and
both came UP TO the division line at the
same time and rested their teams. One
was a fine span of horses, sleek and in
good condition, and not in special need
of rest The other team was miserably
poor and fits owner avowed that he could
not do half days work with 1t. He Of
fered $50 in money to the farmer with the
good team to exchange. To his surprise
the offer was accepted. A year later the
farmer who secured the good team had
used il so that 1T was not fit TO work. The
other farmer by good feeding had brought
the poor team into fine condition. An
other exchange was made. and the farmer
with the poorest team again paid $50 10
his neighbor in the trade. This story IL
vouched for. 1t clearly shows that some
men are wholly unfit 10 own horse. But
a team capable of doing a full days work
is any time worth more than $50 more than
one which is not The poorer farmer un-
doubtedly secured the better bargain, but
was unable TO make the most OF IL.
