WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1899.
EASTERN CAPITAL.

Through the present or rather
past stock gambling period, the peo-
pie bit off more than thew can chew
financially speaking. Many of those
who invested in assessable stocks
and paid their first assessment and
the second perhaps find themselves
to-day with more obligations on
their hands than they can meet and
face to face with depressed money
market. They bought to sell aud
they find now that they can only
sell at great sacrifice. The ques-
ton which should occupy their
thoughts is how to induce capital to
come here and take up the stocks
which are beyond the present capi-
tai of the country. We must have
eight million dollars at least within
the next twelve months. Is that
enormous sum here, and available
for investment in assessable stocks
OF new plantation2 We know it is
not and if capital from afar does not
come soon collapse in our financial
market must necessarily occur. A
prominent citizen who owns con-
siderable stocks in plantations and
who is leading authority on the
sugar industry returned few days
ago from a prolonged trip to the
East. He was interviewed there by
many great capitalists who made
many enquiries in regard to the con-
ditions here and the securities for
Investments. Our fellow citizen who
is very conservative man explained
that all the recently started planta-
tion will eventually be safe invest
ments for men willing to accept
from 5% to 10% on their money. He
told them that the labor question
will be solved by the payment Of
much higher wages than now given
and that consequently the great
dividends now paid must be reduced.
Aud he pointed out that the sugar
industry in Hawaii for years to come
would be safe and profitable bust
ness as long as no unjust discrimi-
nation is shown against us. The
Eastern capitalists told him that
very large amounts of money are
lying idle in the East looking for
safe investments. Many great capi-
tslists there are glad to receive an
annual dividend of LIZ to 2% on in
vestments in real estate and if they
only could believe that Hawaii was
something different from Samoa or
Fiji, or the PHILIPPINES, or even
Cuba and Porto Rico, they
would like to bring money
here and be we'll satisfied by invest
ing their money where they safely
could expect return of AZ
or 5% a year. The Honolulu man
smiled and said it would be useless
to explain to them the difference
between Hawaii and Samoa, etc,
and he suggested that the most
sensible way for them to learn the
true conditions here would be to
send confidential and trustworthy
agent to remain here for some time,
look into the conditions and then
report back. Let us hope the capi-
talists will adopt the good sugges-
tion.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-08-02

We have naturally no sympathy
with the celebration OF the anniver-
sary OF the consummation OF the
stealing of Hawaii, but if it is to be
done, partly at the cost of the tax
payers, let the Government and the
patriots celebrate in a dignified
manner and let the expense be Of
no account as long as the celebra-
tion is frstclass and the fireworks

ADMISSION DAY.

The Evening Bulletin in last
nights issue quotes Minister Mott
Smith in speaking OF the celebration
of August 18th as saying:
"The people down town do not
seem to be very keen about celebrat-
ing August II. They are perfectly
willing to come up and help the
Government celebrate, but they do
not care to do anything on their
own hook @a "
"We will have reception and
ball. The band will play, flags will
be hoisted, and all the Government
offices will close. That is all. II
the Fourth OF July committee has
any fireworks to set off, we will be
perfectly willing to allow them to
do this on the Executive building
grounds. The Government cannot
indulge in fireworks, as their money
is short.'

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The foreign press OF Japan is not
altogether in with the passage OF
treaties between Japan and foreign
powers recently repealed. Through
the terms of those treaties, japan
becomes at last an independent ma
tion; consular courts are abolished,
and any foreign resident or sojourn-
er in Japan will enjoy privileges
above the native sons of the Empire
OF the Rising Sun.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-08-02

The present Audit Act may be ex.
cellent, theoretically, but through
its provisions an annoying amount
OF "red tape" has been established.
Under the former laws the clerks of
the Circuit Courts were furnished
with necessary cash to pay jurors
for attendance and other expenses
in connection with holding of a
term. Under the new Act no cash
is sent to the judges, who pay every
expense connected with the holding
of Court by warrants on the Auditor
Generals Office. The paper is good
enough in Honolulu to everybody
presenting it, but in the country dis
tricts it is different, and the store
keepers and others willing to dis.
count salary drafts will not even
look at "special" warrant. The
reason is good enough because hold
ers of drafts under certain clauses
in the Appropriation Bill have had
to keep the drafts for long time
before the departments would set.
tie. We have learned of instances
of a recent term OF the Circuit Court
of Hawaii, whore the jurors were
obliged to sell their warrants to
Chinese storekeepers at a big dis
count, and by taking part OF face
value in goods. The old system was
far better.
