The organs OF the "best Govern
ment these islands ever had" and OF
the Annexation Club, seem to be at
variance, "like sweet bells tangled
and out OF tune" The organ of
the best government tells the organ
of the A. @. that there are but two
percent of Americans in the popula-
tion of Hawaii, and but six percent
of Anglo-Saxon people. This is a
retort to the statement Of the A. c..
organ, for the purposes OF annexa-
tion, that an Anglo-Saxon dam has
been put up to stay the influx Of
Asiatics. The INDEPENDENT is bound
to say that the Advertiser has told
the frozen truth, possibly by mis-
take, and that the Star has lied, as
usual.

"ALoHA &" oE."

Queen Liliuokalani celebrates to-
day the 59th anniversary OF her bith-
day. Far from her native home the
Queen will feel gratified to know
that in every village and district Of
her country, the people remember
her natal dav and ask the gentle
breezes of Hawaii to carry to her,
in the distant land where she now
abides their sincere remembrance
and aloha pun,ehana.

The facts remain that the local
Electric Company offered to fur
dish the Government with COM
plete plant, or q frst.class service,
at cheaper figure than that paid
for the present outfit, and the offer
was rejected. 1t is easy enough for
Mr.. W. o. Smith to approve of the
arbitrary action OF Mr.. Cassidy, and
Mr.. Reynolds in spending moneys,
they had no right to spend, The
moneys don't come out OF King
Bills pocket, they are supposed to
be legitimate Doodle from the id
taxpayers. Remember King Bill,
there is Legislature coming that
will ask many pertinent question.

A Needed Vacation.

Mr. Bruce Cartwright will leave
by the Warrimoo on pleasure trip
to Canada, where he intends to
spend couple OF months, recuper-
atiug his health and enjoying a we'll
earned vacation.
Mr.. Cartwright has not been away
from the islands during the past
twelve years, and he looks forward
to his trip with great pleasure. The
responsibilities of Mr.. Cartwright's
vast business interests have kept
him to the grindstone of his Office
from day to day, until his physicians
have urged him to drop business
for a while, and recover his old
strength and good health by taking
vacation. The INDEPENDENT wishes
Mr.. Cartwright very pleasant voy-
age and bids him hearty au repoir.

The Board of Health decided
some months ago, that the Quaran-
tine Station should be lighted by
electricity. AT the time the station
was nearly always occupied either
by Asiatic coolies or by other pas
sengers arriving from infected ports.
The Hawaiian Electric Light Com
pany offered to connect the Station
with its headquarters for the sum
of $s05, and to furnish lights when
ever wanted, changeable according
to the meter and ordinary rates.
The expense of Lighting The Station
would not exceed $40 month.

THE HAWAIIAN QUINTET.

Section 2 OF the Article 21 of the
Constitution of this funny little re-
public, reads: "The Cabinet shall
consist of Minister OF Foreign AT
fairs; a Minister of the Interior; a
Minister OF Finance, and an Attor-
ney General" 1t will be seer that
no provision is made for the fifth
Minister which has been grated
upon the Cabinet, who advises his
colleagues that "Japan has given
Hawaii golden opportunity to de-
cline to arbitrate, and it should
promptly take advantage Of it,"
This Minister having no RESPONSE
bility for whatever action Hawaii
may take does not care a tinker's
dam for the results of his jingo ad-
vice. He will get you into trouble,
Mr.. Dole.

Mr.. Cassidy exceeded the appro-
priation allowed him by $677, with
out the Board of Health being con-
suited. 1t is evident that Mr.. Cassidy

EXHAUSTED APPROPRIATIONS. 8.

The Government is in a nice box
again. Ia spite Of the oft repeated
assurances, that never has govern
ment in Hawaii been in better
financial position, than is the Dole
administration, we fnd that appro.
prations are already exhausted and
that different departments lack suf-
ficient funds to pay the necessary
running expenses.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-02

OF course if the Council of State
acts honestly and in accord with the
provisions of the constitution, it
must decline to appropriate funds
for "incidentals." Mr.. Dole's only
salvation is to call an extra session
OF the Legislature and see whether
the Representatives of the taxpayers
are willing to squandsr more Of the
public moneys for incidentals to be
be used on junketing trips and in
booming annexation.

that there was commission in the
deal.

Mr.. Cassidy was called in and he
undertook to erect an electric plant

the Quarantine Station is now
lighted with 125 incandescent lights,
supplied by the plant purchased on
behalf of the Government for the

The organ of the Minister of For
eign Affairs, he Of the Roman Man
sion, says: that "The Japanese ques-
tion is about as far from settlement
as when the Naniwa dropped anchor
in port and discharged her cargo
of counsellor and newspaper CORE
spondents." This Is most con-
temptuous, Mr., Minister, but just
what might be expected from a
Cabinet run by the Planters Asso-
ciation," who are prone to look upon
all Japanese as contract laborers.
"Discharged her cargo of counsellors
and newspaper correspondents" may
sound smart, Mr.. Minister, but you
may find it to be an unfortunate ex-
preston. "Vinegar does not catch
flies" is a homely proverb, but it has
a deal Of sense in it.

The INDEPENDENT called attention
a few days ago to the expense con-
nected with the erection of an cleo
trio plant at the Quarantine Station.
Further developments were forth
coming at meeting of the Board
of Health Yesterday, and after the
"explanations" have been furnished
the taxpayers are still thirsting for
more information.

Messrs. Reynolds and Cassidy could
not possibly wait that long and thus
delay the ordering OF the costly
plant.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-09-02

y
but lack of funds prevented it from
being carried out
The appropriation for incidentals
in the Attorney Generals Depart
ment is nearly exhausted, and the
available funds are at a very low
ebb. The Board of Health buys an
electric plant and is unable to pay
for it and has to ask the party fur
nishing the plant to wait and call
again.
The next Legislature will not
meet until February, 1898, How
does the Government propose to
carry on its business until then with
empty cofers2 The Cabinet had
full control of the last Legislature.
Every appropriation asked for was
granted.N Why did the heads Of the
departments make their calculations
so low, that the result necessarily
was that the appropriations we're
exhausted ak months before the
appropriating power meet again. 1t
was an attempt to show that the
republican government conducted
public matters more economically
than did the monarchy. 1t was not
a wise policy, and the failure of it is
obvious.
1t is stated that the Council of
State will be summoned, and asked
to pass sufficient appropriations to
put the, exhausted" departments
on financial footing again. The
Council of State has the power to
appropriate money in case Of war,
pestilence or any similar serious
emergency. To appropriate money,
simply to replenish an exhausted
appropriation, is not within the
province of the Council, which in
the case Of certain quarantine ex-
penses established good precedent
by refusing to interfere with the
legal functions of the Legislature
except as prescribed by the consti-
tuition. The Council of State will
not be any more pliable this time
that it was on the former occasion,
and the different departments will
have to struggle along without
funds until annexation comes.

The Precious Metal Found In q Large

Director Walcott of the geological
survey reports to the secretary of the
interior that there is an enormous gold
belt in Alaska The report tells of an
expedition that was sent out by the geo
logical survey to determine the gold and
coal deposits along the line of the Alas
kan coast. A second expedition followed
in May, 1895, going to the goldfelds
Of the Yukon river to investigate the re-
port that there were large placer depos-
its along the stream beds.
The party traversed the valley Of the
Yukon from the British boundary on the
east to the mouth of the river ON the
west All Of the well known placer de
posits were examined and the origin OF
the gold in them was traced to the quartz
veins along the headwaters Of the vari.
ous streams entering the Yukon. Stuff
cient data were secured to establish the
presence of a gold bel. 900 miles in
length IN AA,asL..aa, which enters Alaska
near the mouth of Forty Mile creek ant

ley at the Ramparts.

HERO OF THE YALU.
CAPTAIN PHlLo N. MGIFFlN INSANE
FROM HIS WOUNDS.

The Brave Young American Naval Onicer
Who So Distinguished Himself I'm the
Chino-Japanese War In New York Hos
pital-Hk Friends Hopeful.
! Captain Philo N. McGiffin, the young
American naval officer who joined the
Chinese navy at the breaking out of the
Japan China war, and who distinguish
ed himself by extraordinary bravery
while in command of the battleship
Chen Yuen at the battle of the Yalu, is
a patient in the Post Graduate hospital,
New York. The mistress of the board
ing house where he lived in West Thir-
ty-third street says that he had fits OF
violent insanity. His friend, I. b. Rob
ertson, says that his trouble was direct
~ the result of the wounds he received
in the battle Of the Yalu. He took great
quantities of cocaine to relieve the pain
he suffered. With proper treatment Mr
Robertson says, he will fully recover In
three or four months at the outside.
The captains friends say he has 40
wounds in various parts of his body
made by splinters and bullets, and that
the wonder is that he is alive at all
The wound that is the most troublesome
is on his right hip. That is an open sore
several inches long. 1t was caused by a
splinter and it never healed. He car
ries bullet in his head and several
bullets in his body.
Captain McGiffen was in the service
Of the Chinese government before the
war with Japan was begun. He had es-
tablished and was at the head Of the on
ly naval school in the country, and he
had modelled it somewhat after the plan
of the Annapolis academy, from which
he had been graduated in 1882. He was
in poor health and had obtained leave
of absence and was about to start for
this country when the war talk started.
He had left this countrys service be-
cause there was little chance for promo
tion, and he saw in war between Chi
ma and Japan a chance to earn honor
and rank. Sohe offered his services and
was made lighting commander" OF
the Chen Yuen.
The story of the battle of the Yalu
has been told many times. Itwas chief
y interesting to civilized countries be-
