YOUNG HAWAIIAN'S PATENTS
Ormand Z. Wall and William
SaVidge Secure Them.

I News was received yesterday to
| the effect that Ormand r. Wall, Of
the Honolulu Wall family, had
been granted Il patent in Washing
ton for dental pluggers." The in
strument is arranged SO that gold
filling may be packed into a cav
ity in Il tooth, whether it be in the
side, back or front. Dentists here
believe from descriptions obtained
that it will not only be a time
saver but that it will enable dent
lists to perform such work with
less annoyance to patients than
by the older methods.
Mr.. Wall will have his instru-
ment patented i'll all foreign cOun-
tries, and has already mailed APP
plicatiOns to that effect. The in
ventor is a Honolulu boy who
went to Baltimore in July last to
enter the college of dental sur
gerry at that place. In recent cx-
animation for admission to the
freshman class he passed No. | in
a class of eighty-five.
His brother, \. G. Wall, who
was expected home by the Alamo
da yesterday, graduated second in
a class of ninety-siX, records
which the young men and their
mother should be proud of.
William Savidge, boOkkeeper
for the Hawaiian Gazette Co., re-
ceived by the same steamer mott
ficatiOn from patent agents in New
York that his application for a
patent on a ruler invented by him
had been granted. He was of
fered $500 by the agents when
they received his application. and
before the patent was granted.
The offer was refused. and he
will now apply for patents in Can
ada and Europe.

KxIFISG AUTHORIZATIONS.

An insane desire 70 carry out threats
made against the appropriation bill as
+ passed by the Senate has. according 70
the action on Friday, led the House Of
Representatives 70 drop into q groove Of
pettIfoggery that can only result II
hampering the departmental work Of
the Government and doing an injury
that cannot be counted in the few dol
lars and cents saved in cutting out one
salary here and shaving another there.
Judging from the recent slashing in the
appropriations, some Of our legislators
need an hypodermic injection Of horse
sense and craftsmanship. By hedging
the position Of the inspector Of The
electric works the House is practically
putting that deparement in danger of
falling into the same unfortunate stu
alton that existed previous TO Mr.. Cas-
gidy taking charge. On general prin-
cipIes the employment, for Government
work, Of a man whose time is required
by d private corporation is a bad one.
But according 70 all data that has thus
far been made public, Mr.. Cassidy has
proved his ability TO do good work I'M
der such conditions, by the efficiency of
his labor in behalf of the Government.
We have failed to learn of an in
stance cited wherein Mr.. Cassidy has
not shown himself attentive to his duty
as inspector, and prompt 10 detect and
remedy any defect in the electric light
ing system. Our Legislators well know
that passing the inspector item as now
proposed will force the present incum-
bent out of tho department of public
works. The Government will lose the
services of a man long in the service
and thoroughly capable of filling the
position, simply to make an expert
ment that is attended with questionable
possibilities. When the present con-
dition is acceptable, why not let it
alone?
BY striking out the appropriation for
deputy inspector of schools the pro-
gress OF the educational department will
simply be held in check for another two
years, and the schools will suffer from
the inability of one man to do the work
of two. We cannot afford to slight our
schools. Let our Legislators turn their
attention to the ways and means of
raising money otherwise than by sac
rificing our educational institutions.
knitting the appropriation bill in the |
manner the House is going about it is |
more like the manipulations of a dema-
gogue than the advocate of economical |
business administration. Admitting, for |
the sake of argument, that the appro-
priations in certain departments are
too large, the House has jumped, pos
sibly without thinking, from the fry
ing pan into the fire.

METHOD OF TAXATION.


1t is an undoubted canon OF taxation
that taxation should be certain in its
amount, in the time Of payment and in
the manner Of payment. Further, it
should be as little inquisitorial as pos
sible. Taxes should b. collected at the
time most convenient to the payers, ard
they should be collected quickly, and,
of course, collected at The least posi-
bic cost.
Whether the bill now before the Sen
ate will fulfill all these requisites is by
no means certain.
One good feature of the bill is that the
time of assessment has been changed
from July / to January /, thus enabling
the assessors to tax sugar, which for
merly used to be run out OF the country
a Few days before July 1 in order to
avoio taxation.
The le.iod OF assessment for rice is
placed in May, and this again is good
move, for formerly, though the rice
planters got two crops, neither could
be taxed, as on July the crop was off
and the new one had not been planted
so all that the assessors had to tax was
the bare field, without a blade of grow
ing crop. So far there is evidently a
change for the better.
The method of assessment should be
changed. At present the only things
that can be assessed are the growing
crops, the machinery, the buildings, as
a smoke stack here and an clubhouse
there; and the animals, as a one-horned
OK in the upper pasture and the litter
of pigs in the lower. This method by no
a whole. An estate, however, should be
valued as a whole, for there is an in
tangible value which cannot be reached
by taxing the smoke stack and the one
horned OK. In getting at the value of
an estate, the selling price of the stock
and the gross income play a very large
part. 1t is, in fact, not the cost OF the
one-horned OK that we want, but what |
FL,
1t is very plain that the value of an
estate whose shares are selling at 2S5, /
as we have seen quoted, is worth great
deal more than the value of the things
in sight. To this feature of assessment
the Senate is giving attention. and it
speaks we'll for the honesty of purpose
of the sugar contingent that the change
meets with support from them.
a feature of the bill which we do
not like is the right of appeal to the
Supreme Court. 1t is provided that if
taxes are raised $50 or decreased $50
and the Tax Appeal Board gives no re-
lief, that an appeal can be made to the
Supreme Court. Now, that is totally
against the canon of taxation which
says that taxes should be collected
quickly. A man having his taxes raised
$50 by appealing to the Supreme Court
might delay the payment of his taxes
for three or four months and even
longer. We can conceive of several hun
dred cases being appealed, and the
grounds of appeal being by no means
the same, and let anyone think how
long it will take the Supreme Court to
settle the batch This feature of the bill
is bad, and it savors very much of care
less and slipshod legislation. Reform
measures should have very careful
thought and full discussion.

COLUMNS, ONO, June GA brilliant

suit of the Columbus, Hooking
Valley and Toledo Railway
Company and the Central Trust
Company of New York, to recover
SS,OO0,OOO of bonds issued by Judge
Stevenson Burke and his syndicate

mentioned.
Judge Harrison announced that
on behalf of the trust company he
would ask that the suit be dis
missed at the company'S costs. Mr..
Heating then read a motion in
protest against the dismissal of the
case. Judge Harrison questioned
the right OF Governor Foraker as
one of the counsel for the bond

heated repartee between the Judge
and the Senator.elect was the re.
suit.

oughly discounted in advance by

all the private information rcceiv-

has been done. Secretary Carlisle

not few statesmen " no could not

That is a startling picture pre-
sented by our Nashville cores
pondents graphic account of the
silver madness at the Democratic
State convention there the other
day. The New York papers are
giving similar details to IA shocked
public concerning the silver craze
in the West, and warning the East
that Ii is hiding its eyes to great
facts. Are we playing the ostrich
role in this crisis? The discovery
that the electoral vote of Iowa and
Illinois added to that of the silver
states Of the South and West will
elect a President of the United
States, is at the bottom of the boom
for Horace Boise, former governor
of Iowa. Nor would il be neces-
sary by this computation to carry
all the states ordinarily classed in
the silver column; the two Dako-
tas, Oregon, Washington, as we'll
as Delaware and Maryland, usual
ly Democratic, may be conceded to
the Republicans, and still a free
silver Democratic ticket, headed
by man who might carry the COM
including these two Miss
issippi Valley States, would be sue
cessful at the polls. Nor is this an
entirely empty alarm.

CRABOLOGY.
Scented on the Breeze.-Rich Canal
Property Is the Prey.

Enquirer
COLUMBUS, o., June 6.-The de
tails of the latest effort to gobble
canal land belonging to the state
are beginning to leak out. The af.
fair promises to produce hs much
interesting news as the attack up.
on the Hooking Canal by the Col.
umbus, Hooking Valley and Athens
Railroad Company, at that time a
paper corporation.
The object of the expedition now
on foot is the Southern Division of
the Ohio Canal, running from Chill
licothe to Portsmouth, upon which
the management of the Norfolk &
Western Road had its eyes for
some time. II is believed, how
ever, that still another corporation
has designs on the property, and
that the syndicate has represen-
tative in the commission appointed
by the Governor to inspect the
canal and report upon the advisa.
bility of abandoning it.
The time in which the grantees
of the Hooking canal land were to
have their road in operation.
WILL EXPIRE THIS MONTH.
There will be no possibility OF put
ting the road in operation within
the stipulated time if the company
had millions OF dollars at its COM
mand. Despite decision by the
Judge of the Common Pleas Court
that the state could grant to the
railroad company for railroad pur-
poses land which had been donated
by the original owners for the sole
purpose Of canal, the bond buy
ers have refused to have anything
TO do with the Columbus Hooking |
Valley and Athens Railroad Com
pany. Efforts were made to sell
bonds in New York, in England, in
France and in Holland, but all
without avail. All the dealers
were afraid OF the title to the land.
Now 1t seems certainty that the
grant Of the land will lapse.
The situation, so far as the
canals and the interest of the pub
lie are concerned, would have been
very serious If Governor Bushnell
had not put his foot down and said
that there should be no scandal If
he could prevent It. The Governor
is said to have remarked also that
he hnd no greater ambitious in a ,
political way than had already !
been satisfied or would be satisfied ,
with reelection TO Office he now ;,
holds, and that he could afford 10 =,

would make some noise about tn
affair. He said the canals and tn
,, state had to have square an,
fair deal. Then IL was decide,
that the Governor should be givel
: the power of appointment.
At this Mr.. Sleeper said it mus
be arranged that he should b,
made member of the commission
or he would turn ,colors and defea
the resolution in the House, as he
probably could have done through
the influence he acquired when he
made up the standing committees
The originators. of the movement
held conf renee and then went
to Governor Bushnell. They
pleaded that he consent to and
promise to make the appointment
of Mr.. Sleeper. The Governor de-
INJURED.
He insisted that he could not af-
ford to select that gentleman,
whose part in other canal matters
had made him rather conspicuous
in the canal opposition. But final
ly he consented, and David l..
Sleeper was appointed as one of
the commissioners.
The Commission met last week
and organized. Mr.. Sleeper want
ed to be the President of the Com
mission. The Governor said,
Nay" and there was quite large
row, which, until the present time,
was kept from the public. David
kicked and his friends kicked.
They claimed that it was due him
as Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives to be given the chief
place on the Commission. The
Governor sent back word that il
was due him as the head of the
state government and the appoint
er of the members Of the Commits
sion that his wishes should be re-
spected, and he did not make any
bones about limiting that, il what
he wanted was done, there would
BE A ROUGH HOUSE.
rhe Commission saw its way clear
o pleasing the Governor rather
han the retiring Speaker of the
House, and Mr.. Sleeper was COM s
'elled to wilt, Hon. G G. Richard
on, of Hamilton County, being
made President of the Commission.
In certain well-informed circles
here is much talk of the situation. {
len who are prominent in politics
nd business affairs, and who have
this canal-grabbing
ystem closely, say that there Is in
he plan Of which the appointment
T this commission is part, one of
he biggest schemes in the history
{ the state. They say boldly, as ;
AS been intimated above, that the }
eople who will be benefited by
ne abandonment of the southern ,
vision OF the Ohio Canal have an l
lterested representative in the q
ommission and that there is plot .
make Il grant, in the form of =
lie, for a nominal sum, of the {
anal to company which will be !
