Editor Stacker Departs For His New
Home at Hilo

Editor Stacker Departs For His New
Home at Hilo
James T. Stacker who for some
time past has been the efficient City
Editor OF the 2. c. Advertiser left
by the Kinsu this morning for Hio,
where he has accepted q position as
editor-in-chief OF the Hilo Herald,
the leading Journal OF the rainy city.
Prior to his departure Mr.. Stacker
was summoned to meet the EN-
ployees OF the Hawaiian Gazstte Co.
and was presented by Walter Pome-
roy on their behalf with a fne um-
brella ornamented with gold
handle with a suitable inscription
expressing the hope that Jim will
"keep out OF the wet" when in
greater Hilo.
An address printed in blue on
white satin was also presented. 1t
bore the following legend:
Honolulu, H. l., Nov. 2, 1897.
Mr.. j. t. STACKER,
Dear Sir and Friend:-Your asso-
ciates in the service of the Hawaiian
Gazette Co., regret very much the
termination Of our close pleasant re-
lations. We wish to congratulate
you upon your election to higher
position and upon the prospects
which we are confident your ability
will turn to advantage. We have
found you friend worth having,
and as slight evidence OF the es-
TEEN in which we hold you, we ask
you to accept the token here pre-.
sented. With it goes our heartiest
"aloha" Tor the welfare Of yourself
and family, Your friends,
EMPLOYEES OF HAWAIIAN GAZETTE Co E,
LTD.
Mr.. Stacker was deeply moved
and needed the umbrella to prevent
the company from being drenched
with his tears.
Jim Stacker possesses undoubted
abilities as journalist OF a very
high order. While cautious and
accurate in temperament he is a
rustler after news and progressive in
his views. And better still he is an
all-round good fellow and bon
cnn,arade.
The INDEPENDENT congratulates
the big island on its acquisition and
wishes Editor Stacker all possible
success in his new stamping ground.

AN AMERICANS IMPRESSIONS.

: Mr.. Archibald Gary Coolidge has
written letter to the Boston Tran
script upon Hawaiian affairs, from
which we make two excerpts. Mr.
Coolidge says: "To begin with the
question Of Hawaiian annexation
should be considered from the point
OF view of the existing conditions
rather than from the historical one
OF how these conditions came about.
Whatever were the rights and
wrongs of the revolution of 1898,
which overthrew the monarchy, the
state of affairs has changed materi-
ally since then.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-11-02

Here is what Mr., Coolidge would
have Americans overlook, and the
world forget, the utterance of the
greatest American since Abraham
Lincoln: "The lawful Government
OF Hawaii was overthrown without
the drawing OF a sword or the firing
OF shot by process every step OF
which, it may safely be asserted,
is directly traceable to and de-
pendent for its success upon the
agency OF the United States acting
through it's diplomatic and naval
representatives.
But for the notorious predilec-
tiops OF the United States Minister
for annexation the Committee Of
Safety, which should be called the
Committee OF Annexation, would
never have existed.
But for the landing Of the United
States forces upon false pretexts

TOPICS OF The DAY.

In another column we publish a
letter from Adam D. Dundas in
Vanity Fair. 1t is rather amusing
to read at this late day that Eng
land has claim on the islands by a
cession in 1894, and is consequently
in position to interfere in prevent
ing Hawaii's spoliation by the Unit
ed States and the Hawaiian plum
derers.
The authorities could not find
sufficient evidence to punish the
milkmen who were charged by Cap
tain Bowers with increasing the
milk supply by drawing on the
water works. 1t is a pity that the
law il so fine that the "diluters"
cannot be tou ,hed, and that the
community is obliged to keep on
drinking a1ulterated milk
The Minister Of Finance is to be
congratulated upon the sale OF Gov
ernment per cent. bonds for five-
twenty years Twice the amount Of
the Offering was rendered for and
the successful bidders took $4,000
at 104 and $125,000 at 1O3. This ex-
preston sbundanty justifies the
Minister'S protest against the state
meut, made at the special session of
the Hawaiian Senate, when the
tre atty OF annexation was under con-
sidera,ion, that an independent gov
ernment cannot be maintained here.
General Hartwell ought to feel
hattered indeed. His law offices
evidently contain the incubator for
Hawaii's Judiciary and it does not
take great deal OF time for he
judicial ducklings to be Matched
after having absorbed sufficient legal
knowledge from the surplus funds
of the learned General. Judges
Whiting, Frear, Carter, Perry, Peter
son aud Stanley have all gained
their reputation as jurists and their
wisdom from Mr.. Hartwell. 1t is a
wonder that the incubating "boss"
yet has any knowledge left for his
own use. We now suggest to Presi-
dent Mckinley that be sends his
candidates for judicial positions in
the "territory" OF Hawaii to Mr.,
Hartwell's Office al once. A few
months study there, aud, according
to Hawaiian ideas they will be fit to
wear the ermine.

From the American point of view
Mr.. Coolidge is undoubtedly right
in desiring to cover from sight the
action of Minister Stevens and Cap
tain Wiltse in landing an armed
force from the United States ship of
war Boston to aid and abet in over
throwing a friendly government.
Had the United States Government
after this act OF piracy been pleased
to withdraw it's armed forces and
left the Provisional Government
to maintain itself as it best could, it
might be in order to consider the
Hawaiian question from "the point
OF view of the existing couditions;"
but the United States elected after
the commission of the outrage of
January, 1898, to keep in this har-
Dor from one to three of its war
vessels to hold the Hawaiian people
in subjection to the government Of
the Republic OF Hawaii, the success
sor to the Provisional Government.
Mr.. Coolidge also writes, in speak
ing OF part Hawaiians: "They are
royalists, the leaders OF the royalist
party and movements, believing, it
is said that a restoration would
place the power in their hands, and
fearing that annexation would re-
duce them to the rank Of 'niggers'
with the dominant Anglo Saxon,
especially the new comers 1t is
hard to deny that both these beliefs
are we'll grounded" This frank
testimony from dominant Anglo
Saxon" would seem to justify all
that The INDEPENDENTh has said about

chance to develop her resources and
her civilization, of opportunity to take
her proper place among the socially
and industrially progressive peoples of
the western world.
Is Spanish craftsmanship wise and
strong enough to do this? Can Span
ish pride be sufficiently humbled to en-
able the leaders of their government
to meet the situation in this spirit and
st'll maintain themselves in power?
Minister Woodford's first task is to
convince the Madrid government that
the freight train is coming and to in
duce them to solve the problem of
their own volition. If Spain will her.
self propose an adequate solution, it
will not be necessary for the United
States to become an active factor in
the settlement.
Probably the president will wait a
reasonable time for information as to
the manner in which Madrid receives
our suggestions. Before making a
definite proposal he will wish to know
whether the Spanish are tractable or
intractable. If they place themselves
in an attitude of pride and stubborn
ness there will be but one course for
the president to pursue. If, on the
other hand, they show a willingness to
meet the emergency in a proper spirit,
the president will want to learn what
it is they suggest before submitting
definite proposals of his own.
I'ut l am able to give important in
formation concerning the mode of set
tement which the president now has
in mind as an adequate treatment of
the difficulty. The plan which to him
seems the most promising is at this
time, necessarily, more a principle than
perfected scheme. When negotiations
are reached will be time enough for
details. OF these latter there will be
many complicated difficult to arrange
requiring much time and presenting
many opportunities for friction and de-
lay. But the end in view the president
| will keep constantly before him, and
toward it he win steadily drive, though
of course, with all proper patience and
diplomacy. 1t may take a year or more
to reach final adjustment, but an ad.
justment must be had.
COMPLETE HOUSE RULE.
The principle which controls the
president in his approach to this mos
| difficult and hazardous internationa
problem is very simple one, and on,
which is animated by the true spirit
Of Amerioanism. 1t may be expressed
| as follows:
l SPANS active rule in Cuba is
failure and can never give the peopl,
of that island nor their near neighbour
peace, security and prosperity.

After Mr.. Grady made this state
ment, he offered the amendments,
which were agreed to. Some of the
most important of them are these:
Brewers, $1,000, with these eXcep-
tions: For brewers of less than $50
barrels capacity, $3.50; less than 1,5OO
barrels, $500; less than 5000 barrels,
$780,
Distillers, $1,000, with these excep-
tions: Distillers with a capacity of
less than so barrels, 5000; less than 100
barrels, $500; less than 300 barrels, $500.
Wholesalers in cities of the first and
second class, $1,000; in third class and
in townships and boroughs, $500.
Bottlers in cities of the first and sec
ond class, $1,000; in cities of the third
class and in townships and boroughs,
$780, In addition to the foregoing, Mr..
Grady introduced two other amend
ments to the Bliss bills. One increases
the retail liquor license, by adding an
additional $780, to the fee in boroughs
and townships and an additional of
5000 in cities of the first and second
class. These increases are to be paid
into the state treasury, and it is esti-
mated that additional revenue to the
amount of $35o,000 will be thereby
raised.
Still another amendment to the Bliss
bills was presented by Mr.. Grady. 1t
provides that the capital stock of all
distilleries is to be taxed ~ mills.
Mr.. Grady introduced a bill to raise
revenue by taxation. 1t provides for a
Reconsideration of the mercantile Ii
crnse fees. The old classification is
followed up to $4,000 and after that
TIE rates are increased up to concerns
doing a business of $4,000, 900, in which
case the license fee is $4,000.

BLISS BEER BILLS.
They Are Amended So Radically That
They Are Practically New Meas
ures...Efiects Of New Law.

Harrisburg, June 22.--The senate met
this evening to receive the report of
the committee on judiciary general on
the two Bliss beer bills. Mr.. Grady,
on behalf of the senate, presented these
reports. The bills were read for the
first time, and then they were amend
ed so radically that they are now
practically new bills.
Mr.. Grady explained that the bills
were so amended as to provide for
graded license fees, in order to make
the bills constitutional. 1T was gem
orally held" said he, that one of the
Bliss bills was unconstitutional, and
these amendments will do away with
this Objectionable feature, and at the
same time produce a greater amount
If revenue for the state. 1t includes
the scheme to license brewers, distiil-
ers, wholesalers, bottlers, retailers,
storekeepers and agents for foreign
concerns.
"These amendments, if agreed to,
will produce an increase of revenue to
the amount of 653,95O over the pres
ent law, as follows:
