guard. We do not blame them to a
certain extent. The census however
is different matter altogether. To
gather correct figures and reliable
statistics is as important to the well
fare OF the Hawaians as to the 2.
G.. government. We hope that all
Hawaiians, without hesitation will
make correct returns to the agents
Of the Census bureau and do all in
their power to facilitate the work
which has to be done. We believe
that the authorities could have
shown more energy in explaining the
reasons and the necessity OF census
than has been done. At the same
time we feel sure that the great
majority will understand tho value
OF the census and without fear
answer all questions asked by the
census officials. The statistics will
be OF inestimable value to the Ha-
waiian cause.

Domingo Discharged.

The case OF Domingo Ferreira
charged with proposing more than
once TO his best girl has received
considerable notoriety by the man
ner in which certain newspapers
endeavored to prejudice the courts
and turn the public sentiments
against the defendant.
Domingo loved handsome young
Portuguese girl. His love was re-
turned not wisely perhaps, but too
we'll. The stern parents objected
and loves course did not run smooth.
The young man was2persistent as a
lover ought to he, and the result
was that he was arrested and asked
to furnish bonds as guarantee that
he would never, never more pop the
question.
Attorney Davis appeared on be-
half of the stern parents, and Attor
ney Creighton represented the love.
sick youth. Creighton got the best
Of the fight. The case has been
hanging in the District Court for
several weeks and was finally ended
this morning.
The opposing attorneys we're ask
ing for further postponement for
week, when, to the qualification of
all concerned, Judge De la Vergne
said that he saw no reason to con-
tinue tho case as he was ready there
and then to discharge Domingo.
So ended the most peculiar case
ever presented in Hawaiian Court
and Domingo is declared innocent
and promises never to do it again.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept. 10, 1896.

While in Hawaii we are safe
from those fatal heat waves that
have recently been so disastrous
in parts of the United States,
yet we all like to keep cool,
pleasant and happy. Now al
most the only way, or rather the
best way, is to be the fortunate
possessor of an ALASKA RE-
FRIGERATOR which we have
in different sizes and at proper
tionate prices. They are per-
fection, and beautiful pieces of
furniture.
Then there is the ALASKA
ICE CHEST, without compart-
ment, in four sizes ranging in
price from so to $1S. They are
q necessity in every household,
and so good and cheap as to be
purchaseable by all.
Another convenience in every
home is the GEM ICE CREAM
FREEZER, in capacity from 2
quarts upwards and at extremely
moderate prices.
We must also look after our
beautiful lawns and lovely flowers
and for this purpose we most
highly and sanguinely recon-
mend our 4-inch RUBBER
GARDEN HOSE, which we
have in 25 and so feet lengths.
Come and inspect these goods
under our new management.

We have referred to Capt. God
frey's interview by a Coast newspaper
wherein he stated that taxes were
now but one per cent; giving the i'm
preston that the tax had been higher
under the Monarchy. Now comes
the Advertiser saying that Tax
Assessor states that Corporations
are paying double the taxes formerly
paid, not because the tax rate has
been raised, but because the assessed
value Of property has been doubled.
The organ of the best government
these islands ever had thinks it is
not desirable that the statement that
taxes had been doubled at one fell
sweep should go out to the world.
The defender Of this funny little
republic then goes on to say that the
statement that taxes have been
doubled cannot honestly be made.
Why not, dear2 Ifa man was assessed
last year for Ten thousand dollars
worth of property aud paid one hun
dred dollars in taxes, and this year
is assessed for twenty thousand
dollars for the same property and
pays two hundred dollars in taxes,
he may reasonably feel that his tax
has, been doubled. No one can
truthfully say that values under the
republic have doubled in the past
year. Our attention has been called
to assessments that have been raised
more than double, arbitrarily, and
generally IN the case OF those stub
born royalists. More money is
needed to keep up republican, sim
plicity Of administration and tax
payers must dig up. Rail- for Mr..
Dole's Military Oligarchy.

In every Police Court in the City
OF London there is semi-official
gentleman called the court mission
ary. Whenever a child is brought
before the Court, and as, it is only
too often, the Court listens to the
accusations and as a rule remands
the case, asking the court-missionary
to make such inquiries that will lead
to correct understanding OF cir
cumstances surrounding the young
offender. The missionary reports in
due time and if it is found that the
child is hardened case hopeless, or
at least doubtful of redemption, be
will receive the punishm ment OF the
law. If on the other hand it is
proved that the world is more sim
ming against the child than sinned

and orders the child into the custody

finds home, employment, schooling
or whatever is needed to save the
child.

THE REFoRMAToRy SCHOOL.

The Reformatory School has gain
cd IN unenviable reputation recently.
For several years there have been
constant complaints against the
methods adopted by the manage
ment; and the Hawaiians look upon
the school with as much dread and
suspicion as they do upon the Insane
Asylum and the Leper Settlement.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-09-22

Tho Reformatory School was in

be given a chance to return to the

being confined with hardened crimi-
malls.

Pedagogues OF high standing were

was very rarely that auy complaints

never too large and it was only boys

The majority OF the boys are there

they should be treated as such,

We have to announce the death OF
the Ke Au Hou newspaper printed
in the Hawaiian language at the
Star Office aud financially supported
by Mr.. p. @. Jones. The deceased
paper didn't last long. 1t was estab-
lished for the purpose OF convincing
the Opposition" that the Dole re-
public could boast of the best gov
ernment in the world and that
brother Jones could refund and float
Hawaiian bonds west of the Rocky
mountains. The Hawaiians would
no more be convinced than the finan-
ciers with whom Jones is flirting
