sufficient money at percent west
OF the Rocky Mountains" to redeem
the so-called English loan. Later
on he made an offer in writing to
transact the refunding business
through Mr.. Rithet his letter was
published at the time, and he i'm
mediately after left for the States.
He met Mr.. Rithet and travelled
with that gentleman to New York
in search OF money. He now re-
turns-without the money and the
official organ has the impudence to
state that Mr.. Jones has not "at-
tempted TO float our national loan"
III Peter was honest he would own
up that he has made an egregious
failure and that 4-percent Hawaiian
bonds will fiud no market anywhere.
1t is supreme folly to believe that
any capitalist will buy 4-percent
bonds with the Government at the
same time calling for loan at 5
percent. Mr.. Jones is portly gent.
He builds churches and does things
Of a general nice nature. But if you
believe you can get on to his coin at
4 percent rate when there is 5
percent in sight you are making the
mistake OF your life. The Jones' in
America and England are exactly Of
the same caliber as our Popcorn.

Reports were received from Koloa

very favorable conditions existing

ed to furnish Hackfeld a. Co. with

in use here, and to eilpnasize the
fact OF its thorough efficiency.

we're progressing favorably. There
we're no prospects Of any more cases

The Tonic of tho Age.

II mans digestive organs are
out Of order, he will not only have
a most unwbolesolne appearance,
but be a nuisance to his friends and
all around him. 1t is not by drench-
ing himself with vile concoctions OF
the medical association aud paying
a fifty-dollar fee, that he can ever
hope to recover his normal health.
Mol He must take exercise and
wholesome invigorating tonic. The
best tonic hitherto invented is Pabst
Milwaukee draught beer, OF which
w. G. Peacock e. Co. are the sole
agents for the Hawaiian Islands.
They control three Of the leading
saloons-the Royal with its beauti-
fully aristocratic Annex, the Pacific
and the Cosmopolitan, at which the
excellent tonic is vended at two
glasses for twenty-five cents. By a
clever system of interchangeable
checks, you can take one glass at
one saloon, and the other at an
other This enables you to judge
of the skill of the gentlemen in
charge as drawers and their judg-
ment in preserving the tonic at
proper temperature. In very warm
weather a "shandy gaff' made OF
this tonic is highly recommended.

who had the impudence to attempt
to blackmai that prominent Re-
publican politician in the Office of
the San Francisco Call. The trio
who preside over the Apes in Cali
fornia offered the political assistance
Of the organization to Spreckels for
consideration Of S65,000. Mr..
Spreckels gave the spokesman a
thrashing aud no money.
The Rev Donald Ross, Canadian
who is one OF the triumvirate, has
been arrested for perjury, and the
grand jury Of San Francisco has
found true bill against him.
A. d. Hubbard, president Of the
Apes in Kansas is defaulter as the
receiver OF the Snow Hamilton
Printing Company, his shortage
being estimated at $4,000.
Rev. Brown OF the First Congre-
gational Church Of San Francisco
and staunch Ape has been fred
from the pulpit as an adulterer, a
liar and contemplate villain.
Rev. Colburn, another San Fran
cisco Ape, has been arrested for
committing an unspeakable, unna-
tural offense in the Golden Gate
Park, and will be tried, if jury and
judge can be found willing to have
their ears polluted by listening to
such case.
And OF such is the material from
which the leaders Of the A. P. A. are
selected.
The organization has extended it's
venomaus fangs to Hawaii. So far
our local Apes have worked under
cover and in secrecy. Let them un-
derstand once for all that there is
no room for. an organization based
on religious fanaticism in Hawaii
and that any attempt to make the
A. p. A. a factor in our political and
social world will be met with re-
pulsion and resistance which will
crush the Apes collectively and in
dividually.

Government.

The Supreme Court has decided
against the Tramways Company in
the suits brought by attorneys Bal
lou and Dickey, who claimed that
the company was illegally over
charging passengers travelling from
Nuuanu to Punahou. The Adver-
tiser which for reasons well-known
here, is very hostile to the Tram
ways Company and its manager is
continuing its bowling against the
company. If Manager Paine should
get ugly and, say, run only one car
day on the Nuuanu street line, the
public living in that ;,art of the
town will have to thank the Adver-
tiser and its crew for the inconveni
ence which such arrangement would
cause. Our little village cannot be
expected to lead the world in mo-
dern contrivances. Honolulu will
get there in due time, but it is lust
as we'll to go "leetle" slow and be
thankful for what we have got in
the line of public accommodations.
The tramway service has so far been
good enough. People in Honolulu
are not in hurry, and under the
present system we have at least been
fortunate enough to avoid accidents
of the nature which fill the columns
OF American papers every day. Con-
stant abusing OF the company will
not alter matters but will simply act
as a boomerang on the clique which
thinks ten cents too high fare for
drive from the top oi Nuuanu ave-
nue. to Punahou. When the Tram
its ways Company is ready to change
motor power and can do SO with a
prospect of profit it will be done.
The kicking of the Advertiser and
the promoters of electric companies
will not cause any change in the
business policy of the present com
pany.

Superintendent A. T. Atkinson of
the Census Bureau has nearly com
pleted his arrangements for the
taking of the census for 1896. The
statistics to be compiled will be very
complete and several valuable addi-
tions and corrections have been
made on the old methods. Questions
in regard to place of birth, nation

will be asked and by careful can
vas by the agents who have now all
been appointed much interesting
information will be obtained by the

A HILo TALE.

Editor Wilder OF the Hilo Tri-
bune,a weekly paper issued in greater
Hilo is calling the attention OF our
Honolulu friends to the fact that
we are small as compared with
Hilo. We are told in fact that the
tail (Honolulu) has been wagging
the dog (Hilo) too long.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-23

At the same time we think that
the good men OF Hilo represented
by editor Wilder and the Tribune
are little too premature when they
relegate Honolulu to obscurity or
back seat at least. Greater Hilo
may get there in due time. They
have two newspapers there now, a
baseball team and half holidays on
Saturdays. Eventually they will get
wharf, some roads, library, and
other signs of civilization. Homo
lulu will exist in spite OF such
tremendous odds and we will COM
placently look at the Hilo library
and wharf and put up the money
to provide our friends at Hilo with
these demands of their hearts.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-23

OF course we are perfectly willing
SO accept the position outlined to
us by our Hilo contemporary. We
humbly suggest, however, that Hilo
at present is the "under dog" even
: If Honolulu has only got all tail.
