accomplishing Of the wish Of the
Legislature.
Union Street runs diagonally
across the big block bounded by
Fort, Beretanis, Alakea and Hotel
Streets, and nowadays the system OF
diagonal streets has been adopted
in most OF the biggest cities Of the
world.
A new street by combination of
Garden and Adams lanes would
have no traffic, compared to that OF
widened Union Street, The new
street would point away from the
business center of the city, and the
cost Of making the change would
simply be enormous.
We will not here discuss the un-
constitutionality Of closing public
highway, which has been established
for nearly seven decades, but we can
Justly assert, that the owners OF the
frontages on the street would be
awarded damages, which it would be
difficult for the Treasury and the
taxpayers to meet.
Let the government, as soon as
possible, carry out the provisions
made for the widening of Union
Street, and a most useful and neces.
ssry thoroughfare will BIO created.
The motives of the people advo-
eating the closing OF Union Street,
need looking into. 1t seems to us
that there is very large sized.

DEATH OF W. Y. EoRNER.
The Aged Senator Goes to His last
Rest.

The Aged Senator Goes to His last
Rest.
w. Y. Horner, a well-known sugar
and coffee planter, has expired at
at his residence at Lahaina, Maui,
after along and painful illness.
The deceased was born in New
Jersey about sixty years ago and
migrated to California in lS49,
where he joined his brother, j. M.
Horner, who was engaged in agricul-
tural and mining business.
About twenty years ago the
Horner family chartered schooner
and steered for Hawaii, where they
have prospered and become useful
citizens.
The deceased sold out his interests
in the Pioneer Mill Company on
Maui, few years ago, but continued
his residence at Lahaina, He repre-
sented Maui during several Legisla
lures, and at the time Of death, he
was a member of the Senate, unable
through his sickness, however, to
take his seat during the present
session.
The late Senator who always COM
manded the respect OF the commu
nifty through his honest and sincere
character leaves widow, three sons
and two daughters to mourn theil
loss,
The Legislature was not in session
to-day out OF respect to tn,
deceased.

UNION STREET.

A proposition is being advocated
by certain parties to have an act
passed, providing for the closing of
Union Street in this city, and making
Garden, and Adams lanes into 'one
thoroughfare between Hotel and
Beritania Streets.
The idea is simply absurd, and the
scheme is credited to property
owners on Fort Street, who natural.
ly would prefer the construction Of
useless, virtually "blind" street, to
the preservation of Union Street,
which is the main thoroughfare be-
tween the densely populated Punch
bowl District by Emma Street to the
center Of the city.
Union Street is ono OF the Oldest
streets in Honolulu, In 1884, it was
laid out as street, and in those
DAYS it was considered very good
street. We fully admit, that it is
dangerous" ETC., in its present con-
ditiop, as claimed by those interest
cd in closing it, but we all know that
the Legislature of 1896 has made the
necessary provisions for widening
the street, and that only lack OF
available funds has prevented the

Dole's Fruitless Visit.

Notwithstanding the visit of Presi-

We would suggest to the Bulletin
that if "the foreign money power,
the sugar planting power, continue
with increasing degree to make its
own selfish ends supreme, by swamp
ing the islands with Asiatics," it is
not impossible that in such an event,
which we do not anticipate with
honest ministers at the head of the
Republic, bolt would fall from the
high heaven Of the peoples will

as ballots, and in no countries more
so than in the United States of Am

Their stock WAS matnrel and their in- debtedness cancelled and receipts given.

tance impressed me.
 I believe that the position to con- pei the Light & Water Co. to give fire protection without pay is one that the city cannot sustain i'll the courts, which is abGndanfly proven in our experiences in the past. During tx- Mayor Gohlsmith's administration in 1895 the question was taken into the courts, the city council employ ing Austin &, Taylor as special attor- neys t0 represent the city's interest during the vacancy in the office of city attorney. caused by resignation of Mr. A. B. Grace. believe this suit was fought us earnestly and as ably and all the eity's interest as well car ed for as we can hope to have them now. Remember we have the same laws, same judges to administer them as we have now. What was done?
 On June r, 1895, Judge Caldwell in passing on this question, ordered the water company to turn on the water, but at the same time ordered the council to deposit with the receiver $663 95 per month or full contract price. Later in the same suit Judge Williams ordered the water conpa- ny to keep up fin pressure BUT he also ordered the city to deposit with the Merchants &5 Planters Bank war rants to cover full amount of the water company's bill and an addi- tiOnal sum to make warrants equiv alent to currency, making the water bills cost the city over $700 per month. After this experience I be- lieve that ex-Mayor Goldsmith will say that the present basis of settle ment ($563 95 per month) for our water bills, when contract calls for $663 95 in currency, will beat any thing we have gotten from the courts in the past. We can also add to our experience account for above suit
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-03-31

S1000for attorneys fees and other eX- penses attending this suit. Now, when the proposed fight is brought on and water turned off, will not the best insurance companies witharaw from our town2 and our already high insurance bc raised, costing us more in day than our water bills for a year.
 for one do not believe the present management of the Light < Water Go. are our enemies. They are gen. tlemen who have large property in- rerest among us and must be inter- ested in the upbnilding of our city, and I believe they can do much more toward improving our water condi- ton when receiving some eompensa- tion than when involved in law suit. Now. don't lose sight Of the act that in my position on this qaes- tion I have been associated with fige other aldermen.
 Now. want to say in conclusion that I would favor paying the Light & Water Co. on the present basis of settlement, keep our insurance inter- ests intact. go into the courts, get a forfeiture of contract, if it can be ob- tained, wipe out our controversies and make a new contract, pr get a new water company, if we have to, under a contract that will bring peace and safety to our community.
 I shall accept graeiously the yer dict of the people at the polls next Tuesday, only hoping that whatever it may be it will be for the best inter est of our city.
 Respectfully yours,
 FRED Fox.

ination of Ferdinand Havis, colored, as postmaster at Pine Bluff, Ark.
 News of Havis rejection was re- ceived in this city late yesterday af ternoor when Attorney J. M. Tay Tor received a telegram from Sena- tor Berry announcing Hayis' defeat, and an hour later Editor Artbur Murray received a telegram from Mr. Ed |. Givens, clerk of the Sen ate. to the same effect.
 The news was rapidly spread and received with general rejoicing.
 Says today's Arkansas Gazette:
 Chairman Henry M Cooper, of the Republican State Central com mittee, expressed no surprise at the above news. He stated that from what he had heard h the past week he was prepared for this announce ment
 sHavis had no one at Washington to represent him and refute the charges brought against him, said Chairman Cooper. When I Ivisited Washington several weeks ago Sem ator Jones told me he thought the nomination would be confirmed. I understand that Senator Berry took al active part against conforming the nomination. Yes, Col. s. ". Fordyce was 3 central figure in the opposition to Havis, and at Pine Bluff the opposition was headed by Arthur Murray ard John Taylor" <"
 It has been learned that q great many charges were preferred against Havis. One charge was that he was It one time under indictment at Pine Bluff for playing poker.
 When the Republican State cen tral committee passed upon the Pine Bluff postofice plum, Havis receiY- ed the recommendation unanimous llv. his three white rivals being left out in tfe cold. HaYis had the en- dorsement Of a number of promi- nent white citizens of Pine Bluff and this was given by the committee as the reason for his recommendation to the president The anti-Havis folks enlisted tbe aid of Col. s. w, Focdyce and his influence was brought to bear at Washington.
