HILO Hawaii), March 30.-The AK
payers of Hilo, North Hilo, Puma and
Kau districts evidently mean war to
the teeth against somebody, whether it
be the Executive, the Legislature as a
whole, or the Representative of Ha-
waii personally. A feeling has arisen
amongst the citizens generally that
Honolulu is getting away with the
whole pie" and that Hilo with it's si
lent Representatives will fall far short
protesting against any such parsimani-
Gus measures being shown toward Hilo
and outlying districts, public meeting
of citizens was called on Saturday even
ing at Fireman's Hall. The actual busi-
ness of the meeting was to consider
the legislative appropriations for the
Island of Hawaii Certain resolutions
were passed and a delegation consisting
of Nessrs. II. c. Austin, chairman; A. B.
Loebenstein, d. kamai and Charles
Motley was appointed to present these
and the House of Representatives.
These gentlemen were also instructed 10
use every means during their stay in
Honolulu to effectuate the objects of
the same. BY further resolution of the
it was resolved that the chair
man, Mr.. William Goodale, and the
secretary, r. K. Baptiste, should com
from this island requesting
them to aid this committee by every
means in their power.
The editor of the Hilo Tribune has
this to say:
THAT the Executive and some of the
members of both Houses, probably eight
or ten all told, are certainly aware of
the more pressing Of our wants; so that
we may assume that their stand is due
to a pre-ordained plan to block our
progress"

by the Portuguese citi-
zens the advisability Of organizing a |

The coast has suffered it's share of |
the storm. For nearly two weeks past |
