PUBLISH A STATEMENT

The Harrison Messenger publishes a
mess of unintelligib!e stuff about the
disposal Of the Drainage Associations
funds and takes up the defense OF A. A.
Crane. Why is the Messenger SO eager
to defend Mr.. Crane. brother OF its edi-
tor? We have not charged him with
doing the things for which his brothers
paper seeks to defend him. The defense
seems to be premature. The Pass
never charged Mr.. Crane with being the
person who used the association as .
means of political advancement or as a
campaign dodge; yet the Messenger We
hemently denies that he did any such a
thing. Bud" should hurry home and
muzzle his editor brother before he
makes any more blunders. In speaking
of his brothers. connection with and
pledges to the association the Messenger
editor says:
"Iiis pledges to the Association were
that he would do all within his power to
get an appropriation from the state and
If he seen that the chances were not
good at the Idaho legislature he would
go to Washington, u. G. and see what
could be done there. He is now on his
way home and we are unable to state
what success he has had"
We appreciate Mr.. Cranes efforts on
behalf OF the people in the flooded dis
tricts and presume they do also. His
unselfish sacrifice OF time and money in
making trip to Washington city for
the suffering public is certainly philan-
thropic, to say the least, and the fact
that the Democratic President dropped
$40 plum into his hat, was only An un,
looked for incident Of the trip. We pre-,
sumo that Mr.. Cranes influence in
Washington is so great that the admin,
istration will Immediately set aside ar
appropriation of money and order the
government engineers to proceed with
the work OF lowering the lake withou,
waiting for the action OF congress, which
is necessary under ordinary circum.
stances.
We have the highest regard for Hon
A. A. Cranes political sagaci,y, but it i:
presumptious for his brother to assume
that he can make the people believe
that the trip to Washington was in the
interest of the association, when he
CT mes home with a commission in his
pocket from Cleveland. However, the
people await anxiously his report; in
the mean time they would like to know
what became OF the funds raised for the
Payment OF Enginee Whites bill. The
columns Of the Press are open for the
publication OF a detailed statement
showing the amount collected, from
whom, how expended, and who received
it. 1t is public matter and the peo-
PIE have a right to know these things.
The Press is not seeking to injure any
one, but is asking for information for
the public good. Several members OF
the association have written US for in
formation, and want a financial state
ment published in the Press. Will the
officers Of the association comply with
their request?

THE GOVERNMENT APoLoaIsT.

1t is evident that the official or
gans have been instructed to "take
notice" of the opposition papers.
The printing of recipes from the
missionary cook book is not suffi-
cient any longer to satisfy the COM
pact, and the "organs" have been
ordered to shoulder their most
pointed pens in favor of the ''cause."

zled. That is, il he is in the hire
Of the government. His violent

forces us to ask him and his patrons
a single question in regard to

whole debt, of Hawaii secured and
unsecured, can be consolidated and
single loan negotiated, which
would place the treasury on a
sufficiently healthy footing to pay
salaries and even pay the subsidy
to the cable7 Does the apologist
know that such a loan could be
arranged at the rate OF Al percent
and that, as far as we have learned,
it has been declined for reasons
which we do not see fit to disclose
to-day, but which certainly do not
reflect creditably on the unselfish
patriots anxious to "take plenty

The apologist tells us that the
Opposition" hates the sight of the
wholesome political food" of the Re-
public. Where, may we ask, is that
wholesome food9 Was it manufac-
tured when small clique, through
political Vaccinations and, still fur
ther, through bribes put up to GER
tain American officials at that time
connected with Hawaii and the U. S.
Senate2 Was the wholesome food"
incubated in some "Hatch house"
when Government officials, who had
taken the oath of allegiance to Liliuo-
kalani, basely and cowardlily used an
incompetent crank then holding the
rank OF a United States Minister, as
tool, to enter into game in which
everyone of the gamblers is now
over anxious to throw up his hand?
Why does not the hired apologist
OF the Government show where and
what the Wholesome political food"
Of the Republic is?

We will aot waste space in refer
ring to the financial difficulties of
our local merchants. The apologist
in one column calls the attention
of his readers to the tightness of the
money market and dull times which
caused the closing of well-known

states editorially that the credit Of
the country and the financial state
Of affairs are admirably kept up.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Oct. S5, 1895.

q most serious manner during
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 a third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a 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 it's
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 storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of a tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-ffths 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

hireling of the official organ for get
ting angry. The poor fellow knows
nothing of Hawaii, and is in the un-

compensation depends on those
quantities, and he realizes that he
lacks the quality, although he gets

The apologist says that we launch
forth on a wild tour through the
Government departments, spilling
red ink on every official that hap
pens to attract our thought" Ii we
do, we think that we are entitled to
do so. We kicked against Mr.. Gas
ties going away, because we realized
that dirty job was on foot, and
That Castle was rendered free trip
to the States at the expense OF the
taxpayers, while it was well under
stood fact that Hatch was the man
intended for the position. Explain
Mr.. Apologist9
We oppose the sending of Hatch
as the representative of Hawaii, be-
cause he, as Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Dole's Government, pub
licly denounced and abused Presi-
dent Cleveland, the executive power
of the United States. We object to
the taxpayers paying W. o. Smith
his salary and travelling expenses for
trip to New Zealand where he is
"to study land law (O" Gin six weeks
absence). We remind the hired
apologist of the fact that columns
were used while ago in the official
organ to demonstrate the fact that
Mr.. Dole, the jurist, had framed a
land law, the equal of which, as far as
wisdom and Learnt & were concerned
had never been reached in the world.
We believe the Advertiser. (That is
to-day we say SOP. We take an i'm
mense stock in that paper Gin our
minds), but we fail to see why Mr..
Smith, another celebrated jurist,
should go to New Zealand to study
land laws (for six weeks), after Dole
had reached the point of perfection,
and his bill (although mutilated)
passed by the assembled wisdom of
the Legislature.
To say that we desire w. o.
to "work himself to death" is
simply outrageous. We have en-
deavored to prove to him, to his
colleagues, and the taxpayers, that
we we're desirous of giving the
ex-president of the Board of Health
a most complete and comfort able
rest. In fact we wanted him 10
work for the government--neve
more.
The boast on Mr.. Damon's be-
half, Of the apologist, that "Ha-
waiian bonds are selling above par
in London" is highly amusing.
We don't think, though, that Mr..
Damon will thank his apologist
for the reference. Hawaiian Gov
ernment bonds pay six percent
interest. Any safe Investment in
England can be negotiated at less
than 3 percent. The Hawaiian
bonds are quoted at l03. 1t is
certainly "a trife above par, but
if the bonds we're "glt edged" they
would be quoted at over $50.
We have nothing against Mr..
Damon's fnanciering. He is nobly
sticking to cause which he un-
doubtedly finds rotten" himself.
He is advancing out of his own
vest pockets the money necessary
to carry the affairs of the Repub-
lie along. He does not tell his
apologist, however, that he adver-
tised for ten days during Septem-
ber for purchasers of treasury notes
and found none, and that ne re-
peated the performance in Octo-
ber and when he asking for $4,000
he received $4,000 from Mr.. w. o.
Smith, who handles large amount
of trust funds for which no i'm
mediate reckoning is asked.

The facts are there, Mr.. Apologist, 1,
and if you reside here sufficiently
long you will realize them. The
Republic of Hawaii is an impossi-
bility because it is ruled by a
self appointed clique that by no
possible stretch OF imagination
can ever call itself a government
by the people or of the people.
An oligarchy may last for short
space OF time but to ask the op-
position-the kamaainas of this
country-to cooperate and assist
this oligarchy which has deprived
Hawaii of its future, it's pros
perity, and its happiness, is a
little too much.
