a Sad Case.

In the District, Court this morn
ing, the Magistrate sentenced Fritz
Nieman of Company \. to imprison-
ment at hard labor for one year.
The unfortunate man in drunken
row shot and wounded a fellow
soldier on the 9th of August.
The Attorney General appeared
on behalf Of the Government and
we believe that his Excellency had
the sympathy of all present in his
plea for justice and mercy.
Mr.. Smith eloquently upheld the
law, and at the same time showed
the extreme sadness OF the cause
which eventually will leave a woman
and seven children starving for
want Of their natural support.
The Attorney. General did all in
his power to invoke the clemency of
the Court. The judge had to do
his duty and the cold facts in regard
to the shooting could not be over
come.
The INDEPENDENT, politically op-
posed to Mr.. w. o. Smith, begs to
compliment him on the wise and
noble stand adopted by him in the
Nieman matter. III The INDEPENDENT
had any influence, we should not
hesitate in making our efforts to
have the poor fellow pardoned, and
we have reason to believe that the
assaulted man and the officers of
Mr.. Dole, would be among the very
first to sign a petition for par
DON
The foolish, irresponsible man
into whose hands Mr.. w. o. Smith
and his friends placed deadly wea-
pons, is not to blame. Intoxication
is no excuse. In the armies of Ger
many and France, pleas of intoxica-
tion aggravate offences and soldier
who pleads drunkenness as an excuse
for insubordination receives an ad-
ditional punishment.
The guilty party in Hawaii is the
Government that encourage murder
by allowing deadly weapons to re-
main in the hands of their soldiers
and who tolerate tho carting around
at saloons of rifles and cartridges.
We fully agree with Mr.. w. O
Smith in his attempt to exculpate
the unfortunate man who probably
will have to serve term in Jail. Al
the same time we feel that the blame
for the crime committed rests on the
heads of the men in charge Of Mr.
Dole's funny little republic.

fellows" everybody knows; but it
remained for President Dole to give
the Hawaiians an object lesson in
the debasement that this "funny lit
tie republic" has reached, 1t was
matter for surprise that the Presi-
dent and his Chief Justice should
have appointed such disreputable
person as John Kalua a Circuit
Judge for the Island of Maui; but
they may have fondly hoped that
Mr.. Kalua would rise to the dignity
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-08-19

of his new position; that the leopard
might change his spots. Not ouly
did the Circuit Judge fail to rise
but he trailed the judicial ermiue in
the filth of his former life. And
now comes the head of the "best
government these islands ever had"
to become the guest of and to be
seen cheek by jowl with a man
whom every man on Maui knows as
a bad man. The growing generation
of Hawaiians will learn that the ex-
ercise OF virtue is we'll enough to
prate about; that for preferment
under the Republic OF Hawaii vicious
practices are no bar; that the char
acterless Mr., Kalua is the man that
the President delighteth to honor.

CONTEMPT OF FAMILIARITY.

That well-maintained paper, the
Youths Companion, contains an
article on "Hard Discipline" which
is we'll worth reading in these de-
generate days. An American Admi-
raj told story of old-fashioned dis
cipline in the navy which was con-
sidered rigorous. Rigorous dis
cipline, did you say9' exclaimed the
Admiral to the listener, who had
commented upon his story There
ought to be more of it in the Ameri-
can navy to-day. The service is now
conducted on sentimental princi-
pies, and men are forgetting how to
obey The criticism may have been
too harsh, but the declaration is not
infrequently made that discipline is
too lax in the United States navy.
While the White Squadron was re-
Gently anchored at Southampton,
previous to the Kiel celebration,
a return was made one day of the
number of men absent without leave
from the four ships. 1t was sixty
out of an aggregate force of fifteen
hundred"

long time an incubus that nobody
could get rid Of or turn to account.
Finally it was worked up into paint

are coming into favor. They are used
for building chimneys, and are about
half the weight of bricks of the same

Ex-speaiker Crlsp's Bid for Silver Scna.
torship.
just as the silver craze was and is dis
appearing ex-senator Crisp, of Georgia,
makes a speech at Atlanta taking
ground in favor of the free coinage of
silver-at the ratio of sixteen to one, and
maintaining that 1.-The United States,
with its 10000, 600 of people, is sufficient
ly powerful to establish bimetallis1n the
world over" This is moonstruek mad
ness. No other silverite in any part of
the country has committed himself to
such an extreme position. Many Others
Have asked the question: What do we
care for abroad?" Many have said, and
all of them have implied, that it is inn
material to us what other nations may
do. 1t was reserved for Mr.. Crisp to de-
clare that the 70.ooG,o0o of this country
can establish bimetallism in Europe.
Asia, Africa, South America, Australia,
and the islands of the globe, whereas
we could not establish it in our own
country to begin with. or in \ single,
state, county, or hamlet, any more than
we could put the waters of Lake Eric
GIN the top of the Allegheny mountains
and hold them there. Mr.. Crisp has now
linked his fortunes with those of Black
burn and Hardin in Kentucky, Band in
Missouri, Bryan in Nebraska, and
other discarded politicians. This is
probably Crisp's bid for the senator
ship. If the people of Georgis find in
this insensate speech any ground for
giving him the seat now occupied by
Gen. Gordon, we shall be much sur.
prised. A state that can produce such
an industrial wonder as the Atlanta
exposition ought to be capa5leof better
things in the field of politics.-N. Y.

NEW ROAD MATERIAL.

Refuse SAIolasses Used with Considerable
Success In Utah.
The Utah Sugar company has begun
u novel use for the waste product from
the works at Leh, known as by-prod-
uct, or molasses. Roads are actually be-
ing constructed with the sirups, which
arc valueless as sugar producers, the
life having been extracted. The mo-
lasses is used as q cement, the boly Of
the road material being made up of
gravel. This new method was first used
on the road leading from the country
road to the sugar factory, and the travel
over this thoroughfare since the open
ing of the sugar season has demon
strated the value of the sirups and
gravel as materials for the improve
ment of roads. The piece of road that
has been so improved is as hard as
macadam, and even the heaviest loaded
wagons do not cut it up. The sirups
are first poured over the roadway to
be improved, and then layer of gravel
is sprinl<led on. More strip and gravel
follow in their turn, until the road is
in perfect condition. There seems To be
just sufficient potash salts in the mo-
lasses to give it the necessary cement
ing qualities.
This making of roads and walks with
refuse sirups from sugar factories has
also been successfully tried in Cali
fornia. 1t is not at all unlikely that ut
the end of the present season the COM
pany will make more improvements on
The roads leading to the factory. At
first the molasses showed n tendency
to ooze up through the gravel, but the
application of an extra coating of
gravel remedied this and made the road
as smooth as floor and as hard az
payement.-Salt Lake Herald.

the season for garden growth is too
short to give us the full benefit of fruits
and vegetables. A sunny room like
that figured here will very materially
lengthen the season, and with a success
sion of paintings after the weather be-
comes warm will make the garden a
JOY throughout the whole summer. If
desired, such an addition can have the
roof of glass also, which will force
plants along still faster, but this is not
necessary, and will increase the cost of
building and of heating. With a
southern exposure and windows about
three sides, as shown in the sketch,
very excellent results may be obtained.
An oil stove may be used for heating;
OF hot water pipe, or a hot air flue
from the furnace or boiler, if one is
used for heating the house, may be
carried into the plant room. Build

ing will be comparatively easy matter,

To Carry Heavy Loads on smaIl-Tired
Wagons Is Almost Criminal
Without doubt the heavy carting and
drayage of modern times have much to
do with the pcrishablencss of modern
pavements. The hardest rock itself
cannot long withstand the continuous
grind of heavy loads supported upon
narrow tires. To this foolish and de-
structive fashion of building carts and
drays designed for the transportation
of great weights the bulk of failure
in modern payements is due. 1t must
be remembered that the celebrated
roads Of antiquity were never subject
ed to similar tests, and that the smaller

great weight the less naturally will lie
the resistive power offered, and the.
greater will be the pressure upon the
point of contact.
If anyone will take the trouble to
ascertain the weight of an average load
whose like is hauled by hundreds
through our chief cities daily, measure
the width of the tire and then figure
the pressure per square inch to which
n pavement is exposed, based upon the
traction of circle. which touches a
straight line, we will have better idea

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last week was a short school week
Wednesday there was no session on ac
count of the storm. Thursday morning
there appeared at the school-house just
sixty-three students out of one hundred
and twenty-four. The small attendance
caused Mr.. Dresser to dismiss school un-
til Monday. The two days will be made
up on the end OF the term.
The graduation essays are being finishe
by the senior class, and with plenty of
time for other arrangements it is more
than likely that the class OF SO Will not
be behind other classes in their gradua-
ton exercises.
The mock trial has been postponed un-
til Friday, March y.
At meeting otthe senior class Monday
afternoon il was voted to employ Mona
ghan's orchestra for the graduation exer-
cises and bail. 1t is also hoped to secure
Miss Mabel Monaghan to sing al the even
ing concert.
