CLEVELAND, Jan. 9.-Judge Stevenson
Burke laughed contemptuously when he
read the charges contained in the memor-
ial presented to congress by Samuel J.
Ritchie. Judge Ricks," he said, had
nothing whatever to do with the trial of
the case in which Mr.. Ritchie was inter-

by Judge Lurton of Tennessee, and de-
cided against Mr.. Ritchie at every point,

But not alone has money slipped
from under the fugers Of our strong,
etc, republic. Power has gone by
too. Authority has evaporated. First
brave Smith inaugurated an expedi-
tion to Kauai to catch one rebel and
there he met his Kalalau, aud the
rebel is YET at large. And now all
the other islands are in q state OF
rebellion and we shortly expect to
hear that the people there have
seeded and bid defiance to the
strong and virtuous central govern
ment. And alas, even the man Of
war has gone out of commission for
lack Of money.

THE SUBSCRIPTION LIST.

In view of the fact that Cholera
is becoming more and more preva-
lent each day, and that sooner or
later many of the poorer classes of
Hawaiians will be in sore distress,
it has been thought best by many
prominent people to circulate re-
quest for voluntary subscriptions to
form fund that may be placed in
competent hands to purchase food
and clothing for all those whose
condition may be worthy of same.
Therefore, we, the undersigned,
do pledge ourselves to subscribe the
sum set opposite our respective
names for the purposes above stated:

And to crown the stupidities which
have been perpetrated since the
strong wise and good men took hold
OF the reins of government, we find
the Hawaians deprived of work and
starving, because they would not
take an oath contrary to their con-
sciences. We find in Honolulu 1000
Hawaiians being fed daily on charity
and we find through the blunder Of
the sworn officials, the capital
ravaged by cholera and misery and
hardship to be found everywhere.

THE STRONG GOVERNMENT.

We have been told so often during
the last two years that Hawaii to-
day is blessed with the best, the
strongest, the most virtuous and
grandest government ever exper-
fenced here and for that matter any
where else in the world:

else the immaculate men who have

York Sun, and few blatherskite
senators like Hoar and Frye. 1t is
proper, however, to point out what
this strong government has done for
Hawaii.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-09-12

1t is not the government we are
after as individuals, but we wish it
understood that it is very mediocre
indeed and very, very far from being
the strongest, wisest, most virtuous
government seen in Hawaii and that
certainly neither prosperity or ma
tional happiness has followed in its
wake SO far.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept, II, 1895.

Honolulu overbid each other in
extolling the sanitary conditions
Of Hawaii's capital and advertis-
ing it as the healthiest and most
beautiful place in the world; we
have done this so often and for
such a length of time that we
finally came to believe what we
said and wrote.
The beauty is here but the
recent epidemic has clearly de-
monstrated that the beauty was
not even "soil" deep. We have
been roughly awakened to find
that the drinking water is inn
pure and unfit for domestic pur-
poses; that the atmosphere is
polluted; and that the town gen.
orally is in as filthy condition as
any Oriental overcrowded city.
Officials and private citizens
have been aroused and the cpl
demic will cause thorough
cleansing of Honolulu, the con-
struction of proper sewerage,
and also a general sense of the
necessity to adopt for each house
and each individual proper sani-
tary precautions.
We have placed in the market
a filter for water taps. 1t is not
everybody who can afford to
purchase water filters but no
house should be without the Tap
Filter. The filter will fit all
Fin. taps, and the water running
through it will be thoroughly
filtered. All water should be
boiled before using but it is ne
cessary to filter it before boiling.
and for that purpose the Tap
Filter is the most practical and
simplest apparatus. We sell
them for $1.00 each.
Roberts Ozonator which has
recently won a great reputation
IN the United States is the
surest and cheapest disinfector
known. From the Ozonator is
difiused "Sanitas Vaporizer Mix
ture' which is unequalled as a
germ destroyer, and the smell
of which is pleasant and not
nauseating like other disinfec-
tants. The Ozonator ought to
be placed in all water closets.
bathrooms and other places ex-
posed to an unhealthy air. The
effects of the Ozonator are anti
septic, disinfecting and deodo-
rizing. In sick rooms, where
the patients suffer from diseases;
breeding foul odors, the disin-
fecting apparatus has proven
boon and promptly destroyed
the foulness Of the air. The
Ozonator costs only $500, and
nobody purchasing one will ever
regret the investment.
Besides discussing the above
sanitary goods we will call at
tention to the new Electric Vib-
rating Bell which we sell for the
low price Of $3.50. For that
amount the purchaser gets fifty
feet of wire, a dry battery, the
vibrating bell and the necessary
staples, etc. The bell is easily
put up and it will prove a great
convenience to people whose
servants live in detached cot
tages, OF who wish facilities to

The benevolent people of the city
gave upwards Of $1,000 and much
supplies besides for the relief of in
digent Hawaiians. This was handed
over to the Ladies Relief Committee
to be expended. Amongst those
getting relief are many who are
fairly we'll to do and earning good
wages. One We are informed is a
Custom House Officer. We are told
that one lady stated that it was
better to give the same person food
three times over than to turn any
away for fear it would prevent de-
serving persons from applying for
relief for fear of refusal. The senti-
ment is no doubt benevolent and
kind, but isn'tit robbing the persons
for whom the money was contribut-
ed2 Let the sanitary sub inspectors
provide every one requiring aid with
certificate and let no food be
issued except on such certificate.
The money will soon be exhausted,
and if the methods of expenditure
have been wasteful who will again

Money first. 1t is the main thing
in Hawaii as elsewhere. Since the
supervirtuous crowd took hold
of affairs the country has been
plunged hopelessly into debt. The
treasury is empty. Storekeepers and
mechanics are begging with tears in
their eyes to get their legitimate
bills paid, but they receive only pro-
misses and an assurance that all will
be well-mahope. The running ex-
penses of the republic are enormous
especially when it is considered that
not cent is spent for public i'm
provements. Honolulu needs sew
erage more than anything else.
The country districts need roads
and bridges. The government gives
to Honolulu the cholera, to the
country districts letter from w. o.
Smith about disinfection.

be noted that Messrs T, Cooke aud

In another column may be found
Professor Eliot of Harvard's opinion
as to common school instruction in
the State. His remarks fit here with
the addition that we have an incom-
petence and partial Board Of Educa
ton, who regard neither merit nor
attainments in their distribution of
appointments and salaries, and who
seem to think that what they want
is to rule, instead of what the pa
rents wish. In the States that is
not so.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-09-12

And that is not even the worst
feature in regard to the public
money. Claims amounting to- over
one million dollars are ready to be
presented and payment enforced by
two great powers and several smaller
ones. These claims are caused
through the idiotic action of a sub
ordinate officer of the government
who should never have been toler
ated, but who was allowed to run
things to suit his personal feelings
when the strong and virtuous gov
ernment was panic stricken. When
the heads of the republic sobered
up and found the unpleasant claims
for outrages committed against
peaceful foreigners staring them in
their faces, they called their marshal
before them and said: "Behold, Stree,
we trusted you and you have got us
into a demnition bad box. Get us
out OF it now in double quick time"

We notice that the police still
have to hire informers to do their
work. If the Government would do
it's duty and grant licenses to old
and respectable houses no doubt
much illicit liquor selling would be
put stop to. No attempt to cur
tail the number OF regular licenses
but will be followed by an increase
in the number of SLY liquor shanties.
Injustice always reacts. And if, as
is limited, combinations are made in
this line the reaction is bound to
come sooner rather than later.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-09-12

And the marshal sent for his spies
and for the informers and for those
who basely had turned states evi-
dences and he said: Course you, in
fernal scoundrels, carry forth your
evidence against these base claimants
and let us prove that they we're rebels
of the very deepest dye" And the
spies, informants, and base states
witnesses trembled before the dia-
gonal-eyed embodiment of injustice
and said nothing, but hied them
selves to foreign countries, to other
islands, and to the backwoods, and
left the marshal in the bitter, bitter
cold.
