Editor Times: In an article in Wash
ington paper of December 80, entitled,
Identified by Scars" the writer fails to
state that the system is one of the most
arbitrary and outrageous OF any praCtiCed
on recruits OF any army on the face OF
the earth at this day. and this is a republic
at that. The writer truly stated that" every
recruit is suspected of being a criminal"
and consequently every man who enliSts
must be looked upon as such, as he is
stripped, his body measured and searched
and his personal rights OF manhood out
ragged. Some of these suspected crimi-
nails have been subjected to this degrading
ordeal for as many as seven and eight times
| to satisfy some clerk in this detective
bureau who may have formed some sus-
picion as to the identity OF the party.
As this system of considering every man
criminal who attempts to enter tue
army is utterly worthless, except for the
purpose OF detecting a recruit should he
attempt to re-enlist, it does seem that a
young man, though poor, but honora bic.
might have the privilege of serving his
country in the capacity of a soldier without
having this stigma placed upon him. and as
| he is considered n "criminaf' when he
enters. is it much wonder so many desert
q service where so branded. Respectfully,

A long suffering community wants
to know how many financial agents
the Hawaiian tax payers at present
are represented by and who is pay
ing for this refunding circus now
doing the transforming in the
United States. The following para
graph from the New York Sun in
dicates that Mr.. Damon's right hand
man is doing the refunding act in
Wall street assisted by Hatch.
("Moses" ought to be an expert in
the loan business.)
Mr.. Ashley, the Chief Clerk in
the Finance Department OF the
Government OF Hawaii, has arrived
in the city. 1t is reported in Wall
street that he is here for the pur-
pose Of entering into negotiations
for the funding Of the Hawaiian
debt at lower rate OF interest in
gold The total amount OF the pub
lie debt is less than S4,000,000,
and President Dole believes that it
can be funded in tho New York mar
ket at percent as the Government
is now firmly established and its
revenues are nearly sufficient to meet
the expenditures, and there is a
prospect OF an increase in them.
The country is at peace, number
of its industries have been enlarged,
and the various elements Of the
population work in their respective
spheres to the advantage of all of
them. President Dole's term Of
Office extends TO the last year of the
century, and he is strongly support
ed by both Houses of the Legisla-
ture.

In reviewing the facts connected
with the refunding schemes we can
not support the sentiments of our
esteemed contemporary. The senate
killed Mr.. Damon's refunding act,
because the business community was
unanimously opposed to it. A
mesting was held iu the hall Of the
senate to which leading fnauciers
were invited. Minister Damon stood
single handed and alone against the
opposition represented by Z. G.
Jones, w. g. Irwin, f. M. Swanzey,
j. f. Hackfeld aud other prominent
business men. The result is easily
ioreseen. The fallacy OF Minister
Damon's scheme was exposed by
The INDEPENDENT at the time and
the refuuding bill was killed.
