The annual Fair Of the ST. An
drew's Cathedral Sewing Society
takes place this afternoon and even
ing in the Sunday School room Of
the Church and deserves to be we'll
patronized.
The rooms have been decorated in
beautiful manner by the young

have been spared to make the Fair
great success.
Minister Cooper has kindly sent
the Government band to play at the
grounds from 3 to $50 o'clock this
afternoon, which will be another at
traction to the public.
The admission fee is only 10 cents
and the noble object to which the
receipts are to be- devoted should

Is He Infallible ?

ED. The INDEPENDENT:---
For years back r. W. Meyer Of
Molokai has held commissions from
the Boards OF Health and Education,
drawing salaries amounting to 1882
per annum. The same man holds
also postmaster's commission and
draws $500 more; to get over the
$500 limit it is said he pays the pro-
ceeds to a member OF his family.
Section 4, Act 10, Laws Of 1896,
clearly forbids this. Mr.. Editor,
also submit that any party who
holds commission, and designates
to whom the money shall be paid,
controls the same and virtually
draws the salary himself, and any
other construction is pure deceit
Is Meyer above the law2 or did the
Legislature exempt him2 1t is i'm
possible to suppose any honest Min
istry could allow this state of affars
to continued
The people on Molokai don't EN-
thuse on Meyer. Teachers salaries
are needlessly delayed, peoples mail
matter is frequently delayed at Ka-
unakakai, due to this mans peculiar
business methods, these and many
other matters cause the man to be
detested; he is also selfish, tyranni-
cal and full OF official red tape. You
have my name, Mr.. Editor, and if
the great Molokai official Meyer can
justify bimself, let him come out
now or forever hold his peace.

The Ballad of Brave Men.

A song for the men so true,
The sailors OF sunken ships,
The sport Of the wind that blew,
Devoured by the waves white lips.
There, where the sea-gull dips,
There, meath the sky 30 blue,
There, where the school-boy
strips
Brave men, there is rest for you.
A song for the shipwrecked crew,
The men of the docks and slips,
Propelled by sail or crew
You made many perilous trips;
With the canvas torn to strips,
Before the gale you few;
No more the wild wind whips
Brave mep, there is rest for you.
-IViliam s, Lord.

Japanese Immigrants Not Allo ed
TO Land.
The S. s. Shinshiu Maru arrived
early this morning from Japan with
large number OF passengers for
this port. The steamer is consigned
10 the Kobe immigration Company.
For reasons not explained the steam
er has been refused entrance to the
port and all communication be-
tween the steamer and the agents
hsve been prevented. Not even the
shipping papers have been forward
ed. On board the Shinshiu Maru
are supposed to be about 220 con-
tract laborers and about 400 "stu-
dents" besides a number OF cabin
passengers.
The agents are highly incensed
over the arbitrary action of the Gov
ernment OF which no explanation

GALL THE CATTLE HOME.

At the meeting of the Board Of
Health yesterday, "cows, was the
leading feature for discussion," and
the subject "was only discussed by
President Cooper" the doctors and
the dairymen. What pity that
the late president could not have
shed the light Of his "penny dip" on
the COWS. While The INDEPENDENT
is we'll aware that the Board is COM
posed OF world wide celebrities we
will try to throw a little reflected
light upon the subject discussed,
even at the risk of being enquired
OF, as was Job of old, "Who is this
that darkeneth counsel by words
without knowledge" Our reflection
is from the light of the Home
opathic Envoy" edited by men near
ly up to the Emersonian standard
OF our Board OF Health. The Envoy
says: "After Koch's lymph had SO
disastrously failed-it failed to cure
but it did not fail TO kill many
some one casually re marked that it
might still be useful as 'diagnostic
agent the remark being based on
the fact that some consumptives be-
come feverish when the poison was
injected into their blood. That is
the whole story Of the origin OF the
test that is making such a havoc
among the herds of the country
Gu. 81 to-day. The men who use it
justify themselves by the plea that
they are protecting the public from
tuberculosis, as, 80 they say, the
milk or flesh, OF tuberculous COW,
is cause of consumption in human
beings Also that such COW will
infect a whole herd. So in order
to detect the tuberculous they inject
into the veins OF all the pery uirus
itself of the disease they are pretend
ing to stamp out! Verify, if one
did not know, from the almanac,
that this was the end OF the most
glorious and enlightened century of
all the centuries, one would be in
elined to judge that this science
was the product Of the race when it
first began to be ashamed of it's tail,'

BICYCLE ARROGANCE.

Another victim to the bike with
out bell is recorded. BY the time
a few persons have been fatally or
permanently njured it will be found
that precautionary measures to pre-
vent "acciderts" are cheaper and
more convenient than paying dam
ages after they have occurred.
| Pedestrians aud drivers on the pub
lie ways have equal rights with
cyclists.
We regret to criticize our bloomer
girls and the cycle cranks generally
but we consider it duty to remind
them that there are yet one or two
persons in Honolulu who own and
drive horses, and who through pay
ing taxes are entitled to some small
space on the public highway. Our
cyclers OF both sexes arrogate unto
themselves the right OF every street
and road in Honolulu and consider
it "impudence" on the psrt Of
drivers to break the lines Of the
cyclers,
We have had many complaints in
regard to the arrogant conduct or
the wheelmen AMI women on the
public streets. We do not desire to
see any accidents either lo pcdes-
trians, drivers, or cyclers, but we
feel that any man or woman behind
horse, having tbe right of road, is
justified in running down any bicy-
clist unwilling to make room. We
have the greatest aloha for the
wheel maniacs but they must oe
made to understaud that they can
not run this town yet.
Bicycles appear on sidewalks, and
without lights in the night without
interference from the police in spite
of the ukase issued by the Marshal
Harmony would prevail all round if
the wheeling fraternity especially of
the gentle sex would keep on their
side OF the roads, avoid sidewalks
and sport lights and bells. And
harmony would also be promoted if
the Marshal would seriously" in
struct his officers to arrest any man,
woman or child on wheel, violating
the ordinances OF the town The
arrogance Of the bicycle crowd has
got to be checked or the whole out
fit must be sent towel to Kewalo.
The people not using a wheel are
yet in a majority and majority rules.

will have no postal service as he
(Meyer) is alone capable to run the
concern.
For few hours very early on
Tuesday mornings, and an hour or
two Of a Friday afternoon this Office
is open for business, but at no other

tended to. Meyer lives at Kalae.

Prosecution of the Alleged Irish Dyn-
amiter Abandoned to Save Ex-
pOsure of Scotland
Yard Methods.

Copyright, 1891. by Press publishing Company
LONDON. Jan. 20.-(New York World
Cabegram-Special Telegram. )-The British
government suddenly abandoned today its
prosecution OF Edward j. Ivory, alias Bell,
OF New York, who was on trial here charged
with being implicated in an Irish dynamite
conspiracy.
The government gives as its reason for sc
doing that the release Of Kearney and
Haines. who were arrested on the same
charge in Belgium, and of lyman, who wac
arrested in France, made 1t impossible tc
prove him guilty OF conspiracy. But Mr.
Taylor, queens counsel for the defense
gave the World tonight a long statement re-
hearsng conclusive proof from many wit
nesses, which will be published in the Free
mans Journal tomorrow, that the nformer,
Jones, had approached them to try to induce
them to join in a dynamite conspiracy or
ganZed by him. The theory OF the defense
therefore, Is that the government abandoned
the prosecution rather than face the dis
closures that their spy was merely an agent
provocateur.
The same counsel makes himself respon-
sible for the statement that the government
offered Ivory practically immediate release
IL he would plead guilty.
Ivory will return TO New York forthwith
with Mr. Mcintyre Jones Is in careful Sc
clusion, and probably will remain so.

SAYS SHERMAN is INCOMPETENT
Criticises His Selection for Chief Place
in the Mckinley Cabinet.

in the Mckinley Cabinet.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. 20.-Unted States
Senator Henry NJ. Teller arrived in Denver
this morning and spent the forenoon recelv'
ing congratulations from friends on his re-
election. Among those rendering congratu-
lations were many of his most bitter polti-
cal opponents of a few years ago. About
noon he was escorted to the state capitol
where he received a tremendous ovation
from the legislature in joint session and a
great crowd of spectators.
The vote for senator in separate session
by both houses yesterday was canvassed and
the result announced as follows: Teller, 81;
Allen, 6. Senator Teller made a speech and
was loudly applauded. In an interview this
forenoon. Mr.. Teller severely criticised the
selection of Senator Sherman for secretary
of state. saying: Sherman has absolutely
no knowledge of foreign affairs and he is the
most incompetent man President Mckinley
could have named"
In his speech to the legislature Senator
Teller said he would not try to express his
thanks in words, but by zeal in the interests
of the people. "The unanimity of your ac-
tion yesterday" he said, was not born OF
your confidence in me. but your belief in
great fundamental principle of economic
law" He reviewed the political occurrences
of the past year, explained his reasons for
leaving the republican party, and declared
that there was no hope of securing bmetal-
lism through international agreement, and
that there had been nothing in the recent
history of the republican party to indicate
that 1t would give the country the slightest
relief in the next four years.
"If the time comes" he said, when my
conscience and yours part, no matter at what
period of my term | shall give you the OPP
pcrtunity to elect a man who shall stand
with you"
This statement was greeted with prolonged
applause, and when the senator concluded
the cheering continued several minutes.
