Leaving alone the expense to the
taxpayers the jurors ought certainly
to be entitled to some consideration.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
jury was empanelled and at 10 p.
m. one witness, the wife OF the killed
Chinaman, had been examined. The
judge then adjourned court till
Wednesday morning, and the jurors
were sent to the Arlington Hotel,

The Molokal Murder Case.

Noa, Sam Ku, and Paahao were
arraigned yesterday in the Circuit
Court on charge of having mur-
dered All Sam, a Chinese store
keeper at Kamalo, Molokai. 1t took
until 4 o'clock in the afternoon to
get jury. An evening session was
held during which the wife of the
murdered man gave evidence. She
had seen nothing of the alleged
murder, and was unable to identify
the alleged murderer until the at
torney for the prosecution pulled
him up from his chair. The Attor
ney General, the Deputy Attorney
General, and Judge A. G.. M. Robert

the defense appear Judge A Rosa

will probably be finished on Friday

NEW STORIES RETOLD.


Certain members of the Chamber of
Commerce were discussing the ability
of Germans to drink beer, and one of
them offered to wager that any Teu-
ton out of crowd at work on a build
ing near by could drink a gallon of
lager without stopping. The party ap-
preached sturdy-looking stone ma
son, and the sporting man asked:
"Will you drink a bucketful of beer
if / pay for it?" The mason thought

l don't know, though, if l can. You
wait minute" He disappeared into
Fort street, but returned mo-
ment later, smiling. "All right" ne
said, 81 vas ready" They went into
an adjoining saloon and the Teuton
drang the gallon of lager without a
wink. Coming back to his mallet AMI

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Is it not possible for the Judiciary
Department to spare a sufficient
sum out Of incidentals for the pur-
pose OF buying suitable shades for
the electric lights in the courtroomi
Judge Carter and several attorneys
were obliged to use shades over
their eyes last evening to avoid the
terrible glare OF the lights. The
stenographer has placed a large
green shade over the light next to
his desk and we think that the
lights near the judges and attor-
neys' tables should be shaded in a
similar manner. The accommoda-
tions OF our courtrooms are bad
enough surely; to blind people hav-
ing business there during the night
sessions Of the court is too much Of
a good thing. The mosquitoes will
keep judge, jurors, lawyers, crimi-
mails and the audience awake even if
the court proceedings take place
in the dark, Reduce G. J's salary
and buy some shades.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN

"A large NUMBER OF Hawallans de-
sired to show their respect and
aloha for Great Britain by appear
ing in the funeral procession which
to-day followed the representative
Of Queen Victoria in these islands
to his grave,
The president OF the great patri-
otto society, which comprises nearly
every Hawaiian man, woman and
child in the country, gave notice to
the British Vice Consul, Mr.. 7. r.
Walker, that a delegation from the
society desired to have place as
signed in the procession, and that
the National Band of musicians
would play while escorting the dele
CATION and the members Of the so.
ciety in their march to the grave of
the we'll beloved representative Of
Great. Britain.
No place, however, was assigned
cd the procession to the Hawaiian
societies, except that they we're per-
mitted to trot along behind a mum.
Der Of mounted police officers who,
at every halt, took charge OF the
road and shut off the Hawaiisns
from approaching the alleged "offi-
cial" procession.
The National Band was notified
that they would not be allowed to
play in the procession, and the boys
marched along to the grave of the
man they desired to honor in deep
silence without their instruments.
Who is responsible for this scan
dalous insult to the Hawaiians,
whom the deceased diplomat loved
so we'll, and towards whom they all
bowed with reverence and with
hearts full of aloha and friendship?
The parties having charge Of the
funeral will find some difficulty, in
due time, in explaining an action
which has cut to the heart, the men
and women of the Hawaiian race
who wished to honor their departed
frieod. 1t is claimed that Colonel
Fisher would not allow the Hawai-
ian Band to play in that sad pro-
cession. Was the Colonel afraid
that the "boys Of old" would play
music that would show at an advan-
tage against his "official' band, or
was he afraid that the appearance
of large number of Hawaiian SYM
pathizers with British representa-
tive would accelerate annexation,
the fatal move, feared by all the
leeches on public and private treas
uries2
But even then, what had any Of
the Government officials to do with
the burial OF Mr.. Halves?
1t was matter left altogether in
the hands OF the Vice Consul and
the intimate friends of the deceased.
And we cannot believe for a mo-
ment that either Mr.. T. r. Walker
or the Gay family would intention
ally inflict wound on the feelings
OF the Hawaiians, who simply de-
sired to honor the late Mr.. Hawes,
and who we're snubbed in the most
unwarranted and inexcusable man
ner.
Good reasons for the poor fellows
to come around to their friends and
say, "What does it meant"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-10

We can candidly answer that we
haven't the remotest idea, and that
we believe that even the most ardent
supporters of the present oligarchy
are in the same position as we.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-10

Is it not time, however, for our
good and patriotic citizens to place
the men in nomination, who are
supposed to represent the taxpayers
interests at the meeting Of the next
Legislature. Measures of vital in
terest will probably have to be
dealt with at the next session of our
assembled wisdom. The indiffer-
enoe and lethargy of the patriots
are caused undoubtedly by their
firm belief that Hawaii will be an
nexed in December. Some OF these
sanguine citizens ought to have
sense enough to know that nothing
is sure in politics, in this world.
But allowing even that annexation
may happen before February, 1898,
the Legislature of Hawaii will un.
doubtedly be called upon to con-
tinue, temporarily at least, the pres
ent government machinery, and ques-
tions of great Importance may have
to be solved.

The Asiatic question will have to
be dealt with in an intelligent man
ner. Mr.. Dole thinks that he has
settled it by employing Cinnamon
to do the work of carpenters and
painters at his seaside villa. The
labor question can not be settled
quite as easy, however, and the very
best brains of the country will be
needed to get Hawaii out OF the mess
in which the gentlemen of 1898"
have placed her.

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-10

Those who did register and have
vote should remember, however,
that next month the duty evolves
on them to select men for Oahu who

people, who will act as an antidote

Would it not be we'll then for the

which we all know will be the case

Money Is Plent iful and Eastern Paper

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. '15.-Maurice
Auerbach, president Of he Union bank,
calls attention to the fact that for the
first time in he,history of wesern bank
ing the institutions of the west are buy
ing eastern paper. The fact, he says, is
very significant of not only better con-
ditions, but turning in the scale which
willplace the west on more equal foot
ing with the. east. Mr.. Auerbach be-
lieves it will not be long before the west
will be in a position to refuse all die
tation. One reason given for this
change is that money is more plentiful
in the west than in the east. Western
banks are full of it, and there is not a
large local demand for, 1T. Another is
that cash wheat is now worth more than
futures. Instead Of storingin elevators
the wheat is now being shipped directly
to the seaboard, accompanied by bills of
lading, which are accepted as cash.
Thus the western banks are stopped
from drawing on the eastern banks, ef-
fectually turning the tide.
