senger agents which will report to the
meeting called for Wednesday the proposed
form for the new agreement, has asked for
more time, and the meeting has been post
poned until Wednesday next week, in ac-
cordance with the request. The committee
has found that the work outlined for it is
greater by far than its members at first
supposed. The attorneys keep studying the
Supreme Court decision, and every few days
they announce that they have found some
thing moro that the ruling of the court does
not forbid, and the passenger men hasten to
incorporate this in the new agreement. II

Brown--Atkinson.

Arthur Brown and May Atkinson
were married this morning at the
st. Andrews Cathedral by the Rev.
Alexander Macintosh.
Lady friends of the bride had
decorated the church in a most
beautiful manner, and at the time
Of the ceremony the church was
filed by a large assembly OF promi-
nent Honolulu people who desired
to show their aloha towards the
contracting parties.
After the ceremony the bridal
couple were driven to the Mauna
Loa, accompanied by their numer-
Gus friends, and among a shower OF
rice, flowers and good wishes they
left for Molokai, where they will
spend their honeymoon.
Many handsome and useful pres
ents were sent to the happy pair,
both of whom are extremely popu-

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

We are glad to see the general in-
forest taken by the public in mat
ters relating to the treatment OF
dumb animals. Several letters have
appeared in the daily papers in
which attention has been called to
methods and actions causing un-
necessary pain to animals.
The good people who have the
matter at heart occasionally over do
things and in their ardor create
ridicule instead of benefit. The re-
ference in the Advertiser this morn
ing; in regard to the alleged skinning
OF scaleless fish while alive is
absurd. The bumuhumu the fish
undoubtedly referred to, is hardly
ever landed alive, the fish has very
thicb skin which must be removed
before thu meat is suitable for boil
ing, but We doubt very much that
the fish is ever alive when skinned.
Another correspondent refers to the
methods OF loading cattle by the
inter islands steamers. 1t is easy to
criticize the present system, but we
would suggest to the tourist" who
is shocked that he propose some
better methods. The cattle ship
ped from all the great centers OF the
European cattle trade have just as
disagreable an experience as have
the Hawaiian cattle.
We shall always join Tourist" and
"Observer" in their efforts to pro-
tect animals. But we wish Tourist
to invent cure against sea sickness,
for the benefit OF his fellow passeps
gers, before he looks after the COM
fort Of his four-legged compatriots,
and we beg Observer never again to
have his Holsters boiled alive or his
oysters swallowed alive, until he has
found a method to prevent the skin
ing of a practically dead bumuhumu.
Let our good humuhnmu friends
devote their just indignation to pro-
tecting Paine's mules. On last Sat-
urday night two ill-fed mules drag
ged car from the Chinese theatre
to Waikiki with eighty-fye (S5) pas
sengers. Tourist" "Observer" or
the officers OF S. p. G. A. we're con-
spicuous by their absence and the
mules were great deal more tired
than any skinned humuhumu can be.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

Anent the undying labor question
an editorial writer in the Advertiser
says: "As community we are here
most emphatically not for the un-
businesslike purpose of building up
a civilization We, as a commun-
ity, want cheap labor" 1t is hardly
fair, even in politics, to charge upon
the community on these islands a
desire for cheap labor at the ex-
pense of civilization. 1t has been
the persistent purpose of the sugar
oligarchy to secure cheap labor at
any cost, even OF civilization, and

morning in the presence Of mum.
Der Of people, that he did not pro-
pose to ride his wheel on the Ke-
walo track next to any "nigger."
From past and recent experience
the Hawaiians feel that the word
"nigger" applies to them and the
bicycle man who is so sensitive in re-
gard to race distinctions will be
given wide berth. The proprietor
and the management Of the Kewalo
track are perfectly willing to excuse
the sensitive" white bicyclist from
attendance at the track. The Ha.

TUESDAY, AUG, II, 1897.
THE PEOPLE BE D.

The doors of the Police Station
were closed this morning. The Dis
trict Court was not in session, aud
public business was neglected and
dispensed with.
The taxpayers ask for au explain
alton, as do the unfortunates who, in
durance vile, expected to have a
hearing before the magistrate this
morning.
Even under the most corrupt
period of the monarchy did such q
condition not exist.
Because the chief policeman got
married, public business was brought
to a standstill, and public offices
and courts were closed to the
people.
Is it not possible for the Office
holders under this funny govern
ment to understand that they are
the servants of the people and not
their autocratic rulers. Who, in the
name OF common sense, is the Mar
shall OF the Republic that a purely
private transaction of his should be
treated as a public function. Let
his employees dock their wages and
give him silver tea sets and scrolls,
and hurrahs and speeches. 1t is
their private business. But when
public Offices are closed and public
officers take holiday because Mr..
Brown is getting married, most of
US have been through the same
ordeal-it is time to call halt.
Let our officials, the servants of
the taxpayers, devise means to re.
duce their swelled heads.
A police officer, in the pay of the
Govern ment, is now on Molokai,
making preparations for the recep-
tion OF the Marshal and his bride.
The officer should be here, attend
ing to the duties for which he is
paid, and Mr.. Brown should be the
last man to take an unfair advant-
age of the taxpayers.
To close public offices and even a
court because subordinate official
is getting married is an insult to the
intelligent citizens and an outrage
for which it will be difficult even
for Owen-Smith to apologize.
Other Government officials have
been married, or have had children
born to their wives, or have cele-
brated their silver or golden we'd
dings, but in no instance have the
business OF the people been stopped
and public Offices closed. 1t was
left to the Dole regime to do that.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-17
the said oligarchy has obtained the
cheap labor at the cost of taxpayers.

The editorial writer under review
goes or TO say: "SYe are after cheap
labor, scrubs will do for us, il they
are only cheap. The missionaries
can always be turned loose on
them We are not looking for quail
ity and character, but low prices"
The cynicism of the writer is as
marked rs his honesty. The sugar
grower has never thought of immi-
grafton as a foundation for a civil
lied State, but as the foundation OF
goodly bank account, He has for
the purpose of deceiviug the people
Of the United States prated about a
civilization destroyed by the prac-
tices OF the Monarchy.
