THE CABLE SCHEME.

General Hartwell in a letter to
the Star has made number Of sug.
gestions in favor of the granting Of
an exclusive franchise to the Scrym-
ser Company, for which he is attorn-
ey. Mr., Hartwell urges the govern
ment to grant the franchise asked
for, and points out that no subsidies
Of a financial character are asked
for from the Hawaiian Republic.
He believes, that the franchise
should be granted at once and the
Republic of Hawaii be saddled with
another monopoly, which will make
the close corporation, which controls
Hawaii, still closer.

Will Take O Rest.

The merry hunters will take a
rest next week when the season
closes. The past season was very
satisfactory to our sportsmen until
the rainy weather started and spoilt
the fun. The ducks yet here always
leave punctually during the first
week of May for Oregon, British
Columbia and other places in the
North West from where they go to
the Arctic This season they will
stop at the Klondike and look for
gold-bugs

TOPICS Ilp The DAY.

1t is satisfactory to all, but the
"family compact" and a political
section, TO learn that for once the
Senate has shown a little independ-
ence from the dictation OF certain
members of the Cabinet, and has
decided by resolution that the occu-
patton of Palace Square by the
Carter memorial will be ian obstruc-
tion to the public use of said
square" Minister Cooper, the De-
partmental factotum, may kick and
vince but that memorial will not re-
main, even il erected, in Palace
Square after the next Legislature
meets; let the cost OF its removal be
what it may.

How in the name of Moses, can
you have the hardihood to call
President Dole mean, when some
little time ago he gave out Of his
pocket as much as three dollars-to
starving church of the creed that
he was born and bred under. You
also intimate, that there must be
something wrong, because Minister
Damon as a representative OF Hawaii
made his trip along with Colonel
Iaukea to the London Jubilee at the
rate of $1,000 month, while Presi-
deat Dole spoiled $1,000 week with
the larger part of his expenses free,
as the guest Of the United States.
Well, it does begin to look rather
dark, and propose to pass the pot
to some one else, more capable Of solv-
ing the mystery. But, allow me to
say right here, that a man who is
mean enough TO give to charity $500
OF other peoples money aud take the
credit as coming out of his own
pocket, until forced to confess other

to founder in storm, he would be

are you going to do about it, when
contemplate lies, meanness and de-
ceit, was the nest.egg of this oligar

sition, which is always willing to

one point, upon which We only can
compliment the Dole administra-

hand at an exclusive cable scheme,
but in spite Of his influence with the

firm, and Mr.. Spalding, to his great
disgust was forced to drop his

and that Mr.. Hartwell will be forced

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-04-22

Anyone can see the main point in
the Scrymser scheme. The object
is to get a cable between the
United States and Japan, which
naturally pass through Hawaii.
II cable is built from America
to Asia, it will touch at Hawaii
whether an exclusive franchise
or special privileges are granted
from our government or not.
Why then should Hawaii be tied up
by granting an exclusive franchise
to Mr.. Hartwell's syndicate? If a
Canadian-Australian cable is to be
built, let it be landed at Hawaii by
all means. If the French want a
a cable in the Pacific, let us try to
get it here. The more cables that
touch Hawaii the better for our
commerce and progress. A policy
which even tolerates an exclusive
franchise for any com pany should
be condemned by every sensible
man.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-11-03

The Democratic party has for many
years insisted that the management
of the finances of the state of Penn
sylvania has been reckless and inde-
fensible. The late developments Incl.
dental upon the failure of the Peoples
bank, and the admission that the man.
lpulation of state funds in various 9TH
er banking institutions were of a cor
rupt character should be no news to
the people, because at various times
disclosures have been made through
the Democratic minority in the state
legislature of daring and fragrant mis-
use of the peoples money entrusted to
the state treasurers and auditors gen.
fral. In the most direct way the spe-
rific charge was made in the session
of the legislature of 1889 that a fraud
ulent misuse of the sinking fund mon
eys were being, and had been, made by
Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Quay's creatures.
These charges were formulated by
Mr.. S. M. Wherry, of Cumberland
county, who made a strenuous, but in
effective, effort to have the abuses cor
rected. Mr.. Wherry did more than that
he showed beyond question that a de-
liberate and corrupt misuse of the Sc
curities in the state sinking fund had
been made. On March %, 1889, he intro
duced a joint resolution calling atten-
ton in a conservative way to the fact
that the sinking fund was being i'm
properly manipulated. On March 25
he offered a series of resolutions re-
citing the further startling fact that
the sinking fund commissioners had
sold, in December, 1887. and January.
1883, s1Ooo,o0O of United States bonds,
which were under the law permanent
investment of the fund. This sale vio-
lated not only the constitution but the
statutes made in pursuance of the
constitutional requirements. In con-

enc or the other of the two great par
ties, 1t is essential to the safety and
welfare of the people that they should
be kept as nearly as possible in even
balance. Nothing could be more SAL
utary for the Republican party itself
than to have it's old adversary restored
to equal strength, so that each may
know that the only hope for preference
in the popular vote is in greater dill

cipline for official misconduct like de-
feat, and there is no safeguard for the
