A Judge suspended.

We have frequently had occasion
to call attention to the peculiar
manner in which the judges of Maui
conduct themselves, and administer
what they are pleased to call justice.
Being good supporters of the Re-
public, and special pets of the Chief
Justice, and apparently, at least,
being pillars of the church, and Sun
day schools, and always subservient
to their masters, the missionaries,
they have always succeeded in crawl
ing out from their pilihias and have
humbly submitted to a private lee
ture from the G. j., and his clique.
The Judge of Wailuku, Mr.. E.
Helekunihi, seems, according to our
correspondent to have gone little
far, and his virtuous "friend" the
Circuit Judge, Mr.. John W. Kalua,
has found it necessary to suspend
him from his Office and to take other
proceedings against him.
Y Judge Helekunihi is charged with
accepting bribes in certain Chinese
gambling cases, and that pleasant
trait in his character has led to the
down fall of the pet of the Judd-Bald-
win crowd. Mr.. Helekunihi seems to
have learned enough of the ways of
the world from his Christian patrons
and nothing could induce him to
accept the bribes offered IN propria
persona. His better half who figured
somewhat conspicously in a recent
scandal il Wailuku in which the
Circuit, Judge played prominent
part, was the medium through
which the bribes, or at least share
Of them reached the pockets OF the
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-11-25

magistrate. Helekunihi committed
one error though, aud that was
being present in the room while the
bribe givers made their bargain and
settled with Mrs. Helekunihi.
Now he is suspended and on
Thursday he will be brought before
Judge Kalua and prosecuted to the
utmost by his other "friend" Sheriff
Andrews, Mr.. Kinney OF Honolulu
will go to Maui and try to save the
official head and reputation Of this
"very best Hawaiian" The Maui
people are a little surprised to
notice that in spite of Dole's Thanks
giving Proclamation Kalua and
Andrews have insisted in trying the
case on Thursday. The better the
day, the better the deed. Or per-
haps the two gentlemen have some
thing to thank Judge Helekunibi
especially for. And we sympathize
with the @. j. who again has leaned
on rotten Hawaiian reed.

The Planters Monthly.

The November number OF the
Planters Monthly has been been
received. 1t is an unusually inter
esting number and well worth per-
usal by non-planters as we'll as
planters. The editor calls attention
to the necessity of boiling drinking
water, an advice that especially
should be listened to at the present
time when the water of Honolulu
contains as much solid mud as fluid.
We are pleased to see that the
editor does not hold out any
visionary ideas or false hopes to the
coffee planters. He doesn't try to
persuade them that all coffee plan
ter needs to do is to get homestead
lot, plant some trees, and then oc-
cupy the balance of his time by
living as small farmer, and then
become millionaire. The Planters
Monthly tells him that the "pioneers
need not only perseverance, but
ample means to carry along their
load, until the crops begin to come
in freely"
The magazine also contains
very interesting sketch of the early
history and growth of the sugar
industry in Hawaii written by editor
FL. M. Whitney. The sketch con-
tains lots of valuable information
both in regard to the sugar indus
tries and to the conditions and insti-
tutions of the islands. The writer
has great faith in the projected new
plantation in Oahu and it is pleas
ing to learn that latest advices from
abroad are very encouraging to Mr..
Dillingham;, the promoter of the
plantation, aud that the necessary
capital will be forthcoming.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-11-25

We are always hearing about
roads. And occasionally we write
about them. Roads are a necessity
as we'll as a convenience, and the
public demand them to be placed
in the best positions for traffic, con-
venience or pleasure, according to
the object for which they are
planned. But it will not tolerate
any gerrymandering of them to suit
the convenience or profit of private
owners. Yet the present public
works Office or whoever has charge
of proposed roads doesn't seem to
regard these necessary requirements
by the public. Look at the extern
sion Of Queen street. If that is to
be beach road why send it mauka,
whenever certain peoples proper
ties are touched and leave them a
beach frontage; while, when others
come across the line the whole beach
is insisted on2 1t does look queer.
Again look at the new road from
Nuuanu to Liliha streets. When
that ought-in straight line extern
sion-to cut off angles from certain
peoples properties it bends away
and only goes straight, when a ka-
naka or Portuguese property is to be
cut up. In other words the rule Of
the new road is, go straight through
any small property if the owner has
no pull-but bend round and keep
away if he has.

So much has been said as to tn
Monroe doctrine-and so much too
that is irreconcilable with that
famous declaration of principles
that we reprint in another column
exactly what President Monroe did
say. 1t will be we'll to remember
too, that each word, clause, sentence,
and paragraph has its distinct and
definite weight-.and no more. 1t is
a doctrine which will not bear
straining, but within it's own limits
is powerful enough to sustain the

CUSTOMS HOUSE OFFICIALS
AND CUSTOMS

On Saturday we adverted on the
Customs House and it's actions in
regard to recent importations. We
then pointed out how the action
taken, while probably resulting in
an increase in Treasury receipts of a
few dollars, would result, and had
resulted, in much rasping annoyance
and loss to local dealers. Now we
find that in addition to this the local
authorities have added charges for
the service of an appraiser and for
carriage, etc. Out of one bill over
so percent claimed by the Custom
House is due to these charges.
There is no authority in the law for
the imposition 1--WE use the word in
both it's senses) of such charges.
Under no circumstances can they be
collected. And when we point out
that they are made on basis of
attempting to defraud the revenue
by cheating it out of Cat 10 per-
cent duty OF say 38 cents on pack
age of $3.50 worth of a kind of
goods regularly imported for years,
without duty being assessed to it,
the whole matter seems to require
at least explanation. Business peo-
pie here are too well-known and
have too much at stake to attempt
to cheat the revenue. They are here
all times. Their goods are here and
can be found at once. 1t is only
necessary to notify them that goods
are dutiable for them to pay up at
once and forever after. This tusi-
ness of dropping on to 3S-cent
charge in large invoice shows how
hard up the Government must be
for money, or how terribly strict the
Jack-in- Office of the Customs must
have got all of a sudden. If they
were as strict in catching invoices OF
opium (or as they attempted, beer),
the public might deem them useful
and capable officers. But to find an
evasion of duty to the extent of
thirty-eight cents, and to charge
duty on box with picture on it
savoIs Of persecution. Especially
when it is whispered that one firm
got its goods through without
special examination, because of it's
connection with the Custom House.
Again every label in the United
States does not tell the truth. Take
the case of caviare which was alleged
to be manufactured in Hamburg.
No manufacturers of the name could
be found in that city, and it was dis
covered that the goods were manu-
factured in New York, yet our
sapient Customs officials appraised,
charged, and collected duty on the
caviare, on account OF the label
alleging that it must therefore come
from Germany, and was not free by
treaty with the U. S. OF course it
was "caviare to the general" and to
them it was German caviare. Catch
the opium, the result to the revenue
will be heavier. And whatever you
think is dutiable in the other lines,
notify the importers, and they will
pay it, but don't dress yourselves up
"in little brief authority" and in
terfere with the channels of business
at Christmas time for paltry 3S
cents.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Oct. 95, 1895.

1t has been demonstrated in
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 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
piece of work can be turned out
at so low a price.

had fiattered and threatened her. He
had attacked her character and threat

had also been threatened by the attor-
ney for Blixt, and, in short, her life had

The witness would not swear that
Blixt had said 'Adry went out in the
carriage with me-" She could not be
positive as to that.
During her arraignment Of Mr.. Hall,
Miss Wachter looked pointedly at that
gentleman. She Knocked his manner of
speech and threw the courtroom into
spasnas of laughter. The witness has
evidently q very strong feeling against
the attorney for Blixt. 1t is noticeable
that the conscientious scruples OF the
young woman were communicated to
Attorney e. J. Mcmahon, former
partner Of Biixt's attorney. The fact is
apparent that a deadly feud exists be-
| tween these two.
The manner of the witness was SO
peculiar, so evidently vindictive against
Mr.. Hall, that the value of her testi-
mony was a good deal lessened in the
public estimate.
