RIOTERS IN JAIL.
Negroes from Harpersville Narrowly
Escape Lynchinp

Forest, Miss, Oct. 24.-The negro
rioters from IIarpersville We're landed
in Jail here at noon. Sheriff Stephen
son and his posse had a fight with a
mob OF whites who made a desperate
attempt to lynch the negro prisoners
soon after the party left Harpersville.
The sheriff and his aides formed a
circle about the negroes, and with
drawn revolvers forced their way
through the mob.
The negroes who escaped into the
swamp are being hotly pursued by a
large crowd of white men and news or
another battle is momentarily expected.
The telephone line to Harpersville has
been cut and communication with the
scene Of hostilities can only be had by
couriers.
Governor McLaurin returned TO Bran
don at noon, after making a speech to
the whites here, urging them not to
modest the negroes now in jail.

The Poll Tex Bill.

The following remarks were made
by Minister Damon in favor Of Achi's
bill to repeal the Poll Tax Law:
"In supporting the bill before us,
l would go back to a fundamental
fact of the desire above all others
to put the Government on as firm a
foundation, step by step, as it is
possible. l want to start at the
bottom of the foundation-irom the
fabric Of the Constitution. | shall
commence at taxation and the desire
to relieve, not the poor man alone,
but every man in the Republic, OF
tax that is in the nature OF griey-
GUS burden, fine on a man for his
very existence, an unjust tax. If we
show to the people OF this country
that an honest attempt is being
made to readjust the burdens Of tax
alton, we are bringing the support
OF the masses to the Government
and an institution that cannot be
overturned or set aside will result.
This will do more than all the mill
tary in existence
My first success along the line Of
taxation was the passage Of law at
the last session, removing the duty
from wines made from pure grape
juice. The importation of the
stronger liquors has been reduced.
Drunkenness had also decreased. A
purer article is being furnished at
lower rate. 1t is in that position
to meet the masses-that | came to
you to-day.
"The poll tax history in England
dates back to 1877 1t was abolish
ed In 1898. An authority on the
subject in England says that the
poll tax was always extremely un-
popular there. 1t was almost i'm
possible to collect.
Coming to the United States,
thee are fourteen States still under
thepoll tax law. Four OF these are
Notthern and ten Southern States.
Thu poll tax In some OF these has
bee q retained for political purpose.
in regard to Hawaii, the poll tax
was first instituted in 1916. At that
TIM, males over 70 years were made
to Jay 81, females, fifty cents; boys,
fiftt cents, and girls, twenty-five
cents. In 1860, mon botwoon II and

go were made to pay 81. The ques.

60 were made to pay 81. The ques-
ton will probably be asked me-:
IF you advocate taking away the
$4,000 derived each year by poll
tax, how is that amount to be made
good2 BY fresh taxationT Under
the new dispensation OF the Land
Law, more than that can be taken
out Of the earth. If you remove an
unjust tax, as l consider this poll
tax to be, you are bringing a fresh
impetus toward the consideration
of taxation. The people will ua-
turally turn toward the thought OF
how to raise the revenues OF the
country"

The Church Benefit Concert,

The committee having charge OF
the concert advertised to take place
at Kaumakapili Church Saturday
evening has been obliged to post
poned the musical event till Satur-
day, the 9th OF April, when the con-
cert will take place at the Opera
House, which Mr.. W. G. Irwin gen.
erously has placed at the disposal
of the committee.
Such large number OF tickets
we're sold that the committee re-
allied that Kaumakapili Church
was too small to accommodate the
audience, and the kindness OF Mr.
Irwin is highly appreciated.
The proceeds Of the concert will
be devoted to much needed repairs on

If the Legislature allows matters
to GO on as now is the case without
a protest for the next two years, the
blame for all evantual losses to the
Treasury through the mismanage-
ment of the Public Works will fall

Representatives rather than on the
shoulders Of the honest but incom-
petent Superintendent Of Public
Works,

THE AALA PARK.

The Executive as whole is op-
posed to the establishment of a
public park at Aala, on the lands
near King Street adjoining the Nuu-
anu stream. We understand, that
Minister Damon favors the park pro-
position but as usual is in the
minority in the Cabinet Council.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-03-31

Is it possible that the members Of
the present Legislature will neglect
the interests of the taxpayers by
appropriating money for public
works, to be expended by the pres
ent incompetent Superintendent
Why don't they get up and do some
thing to show the Executive that
the family compact business is a
played out number, and that a
thorough competent man must be
found here. If not let them import
a man and give him ministerial
salary if necessary. 1t will be found
good economy in the long run, and
the taxpayers will then have the
feeling that their money is not
thrown to the wind or into the
streams and waters OF Hawaii-nei.

1t is a matter of fact that pro-
position was made some time ago to
establish a public park on Judd
Street near Liliha Street, A beauti-
full track of land was purchased by
a real estate dealer and laid out in
lots suitable for residences and in
the center considerable plot was
reserved for public park, which
looked very pretty on the map where
even the bandstand was designated

Bridges, wharves and roads built
during his incumbency have been
swept away or damaged, and it is
safe to say, that it will cost the tax
payers over 100000 to repair the
damages on Oahu and Kauai. The
other islands have not yet been
heard from. If the weather has
been as heavy on Maui and Hawaii
as on Oahu the total amount Of
damages will probably be swelled
TO over 100000.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-03-31

1t seems to us that the financial
point Of view Of the matter could
advantageously be left with the
Minister of Finance who, knowing
the condition of the Treasury still
advocates the Aala Park. II he can
see his way to meet the ordinary de-
mands on the Treasury without de-
pending on the possible revenue
from the sale of the Aala land, it is
to be presumed that the economical
view is Of small Importance.

There is no politics" in our re-
marks. We have the highest esteem
for Mr. Rowell as an individual and
believe him to be a conscientious,
honest official, but his work proves
his utter incompetepcy for the posi-
tion which he holds, solely on the
strength of being member Of the
family compact and pet" Of
Thurston.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-03-31

1t is generally aceeeded that a
park in the district mentioned
would be OF vast benefit to the poor
people who are crowding the
buildings adjoining the proposed
park site and to the suburbs in the
Palama directions. 1t is claimed by
the Government however, that the
land under discussion is too valu
able and that the Government can
not afford to surrender property
valued at S75 1000 for park purposes.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-03-31

1t is not necessary to enter on a
discussion, as to whether the site is
suitable for park or not. Every
one must admit, that it would be
simply idiotic to establish public
park in a place far away from town
and even more difficult of access to
the poor than is Kapiolani Park or
Thomas Square, But influences
have been brought to bear which
apparently "boom" the proposed
park on the hill, at the expense OF
the Aala Park, situate in the center
of the "poor mans" town.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-03-31

The people who bought lots "up
the hill" are of course anxious to see
a public park adjoining their ac'
quired property, rather than having
it surrounded by japanese and
Chinese stores and shanties, and
they naturally favor the park
scheme Are they men of influence?
Well, S. B. Dole bought five lots, H.
e. Cooper, if we remember rightly,
took the same number; Surveyor
Dodge is also among the fortunates
and besides the big "bugs" John
Ena, Castle and others hold proper
ty, the value of which would be en-
HANGED by the establishment OF
beautiful although to the public alb
solutely useless park.

HE SHOULD RESIGN.

The enormous damages done to
public and private property during
the recent rainstorms, have opened
the eyes Of the taxpayers to the in
competency OF the Superintendent
of Public Works, Mr.. w. E. Rowell.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-03-31

When the National Reform Party
through the Finance Committee Of
the Legislature, disclosed the irregu-
larities of the Stuffed" pay rolls in
connection with the Volcano road,
no one believed that Mr.. Rowell was
to blame, except as his having fail
ed in general supervision as chief OF
the bureau His incompetenoy was
admitted, however, and his resigna-
ton demanded when the Thurston
clique went into power Mr.. Rowell
was reinstated, step which has
cost the country dearly,
