left on the editorial desk and it's
contents will be very gratifying to
all-even to those of us who felt
deep regret when the national ban
ner of Hawaii went down to make
room for the glorious Stars and
Stripes under which little Hawaii is
now nesting in security and safety.
The men of the battalion station.
ed here, and who leave for their
homes in the Mainland have en-
deared themselves to the people of
Hawaii-nei by their gentlem anly
conduct, their uniform courtesy to
the Hawaiians, and their absolute
avoidance OF the showing spirit of
conquerors in a conquered country.
To those who desire to return when
they have severed their temporary
connections with the great army of
the great republic The INDEPENDENT,
representing the People of Hawaii,
extends faithful promise that they
will be met with hearty Aloha nui.
When the "boys" leave our shores
we ask the writer of the letter to say
to all his comrades Aloha and Au
Revoir.
Hon oLULU, 81. l., Apr. Is, '99.
1t gives me great pleasure to an.
nounce on behalf Of the Battalion
of Engineers, lately stationed at
Waikiki, our thanks and apprecia-
tion for the kind treatment and hos
pitality shown our members during
our stay while in the service OF the
U. S. Government.
Ever since the day we landed the
18th day of August, 1898, the most
friendly feelings have been shown to-
wards us, invitations have been
quite numerous during our whole
stay to attend dinners, social gath
erings, etc.
And in general, we have never be.
fore witnessed such interest as the
people of these islands have taken
towards US. It has not only been
with US, but other troops passing
through here have received due con-
sideration.
Subsequent to our arrival some OF
the boys contracted climatic fevers.
Here is where the ladies worked
heroically to supply the sick with
delicacies, comfort and good ADVICE,
continued thanks is extended for
our repast, on Thanksgiving Day, all
due to the thoughtful ladies. We do
not know how to return the favors
only in this simple acknowledgment
of our appreciation. Many of us ex-
pect to return shortly however, and
make our future home amongst you,
while those who drift to other places
will always remember the Hawaiian
Island, with great Metropolis as a
country containing the wealth, the
resources, the brave men, !. the fair
ladies, the patriotism and the energy,
to surprise the civilized world.
Once more we thank you all for
your kindness and though we might
feel happy that a change is taking
place, we feel equally as sorry. May
be we might not meet again, but we
will always remember that land so
distant and secluded from the main
lands.

have entitled Wells to more considerate
treatment. The discharge of the two men
is reconcilable with no intelligent view
whatever of the affair, as the public have
been permitted to see it.
If this is the way in which the mayor
proposes to go about the work of reform
ing his police force the sooner he stayi
his hand the better for the service, for the
good name of the city, and for the mu.
tual cooperation of the men of the force,
on all three of which grounds he rests
his extraordinary decision. He has pal
tered sufficiently already with a wretched
situation. His last official act shows that
he is not man enough to rise to the re.
Guirements of a situation in his polica
force which has forfeited to that body
the public confidence and secured for it
the public contempt.

THAT DETECTIVE DECISION.

The action of the mayor in Diminishing
both Werrick and Wells from the detec
tive force by reason of the transaction at
the house of the former is as remarkable
as most things which the mayor does or
refrains from doing in connection with
the local police force
y The transaction was without doubt a
scandalous one. viewed from whatever
point of view, and merited severe punish
iment. The punishment chosen bears but
little relation, however, to the offense.
Wells is concededly a faithful officer. Nc
complaints have been made against him.
and his temporary lapse from the ways
of decency is certainly treated to PEN
atty extraordinary in its severity.
The dismissal of Detective Werrick
makes 1t plain that the charge made by
his wife against the other detective has
something quite dubious about 1t. This
view is sustained by the fact that the.
woman is said to have declared that she
was coerced into making the charge orig.
inally. If the one man merited dismissal
then the other certainly did not. If the
other had anything to do with coercing or
Inducing his wife to make the charge that
she did make, then there appears to have
been an animus somewhere which might

The descent Of Alonzo J. Whiteman has
been reasonably rapid since the DAVIS
when he used to- Teeite Proctor Knott's
speech about 1.-THE Zenith City of the
Gnsated Seas" It is a descent, too,
which IS not easily explained. Had the
man exercised anything like the ingenuity
and skill which he has shown in saving
himself from the laws clutches In the
pursuit of his calling as a lawyer, or had
he pursued any honorable calling with
the degree Of sheer industry which he
has manifested in the conduct Of his
recent financial undertakings, he could
have realized fully the expectations
with which his friends regarded his fu-
ture in this state eight or ten years ago.
Beginning life with all the advantages
of acquired wealth, excellent educational
opportunities and success in the outset Of
his career, he ought today to be among
the leading men of the state. He would
have been, too, had he had the moral
or mental ballast to hold him to anything
like an even keel. .. ,---
Politics is a dangerous pursuit for all
but comparatively few men, and politi-
cal reverses have, sent many a clever
man as well as few good ones on the
down grade. In this case there must have
been something more than mere -disap-
pointment at political or financial results.
When man finds it possible to secure
the devoted attention of the police force
of several cities to his safe keeping, as
ex-senator Whiteman seems to have sue
ceeded in doing, judging from current re-
ports, and achieves the result before he
has fairly reached middle life it must be
said that his original stock of moral
staying power is hardly worth talking
about.
1t IS but seldom the American public
have the spectacle presented to them of
q man falling from the high estate of g.

financial standing in the course of a few
years to that of a common swindler,

ST. MICHAEL,s BAZAAR OPENS.
Much Interest Taken In the Half
Dozen Voting Contests.

There was large attendance last night
at the opening of the bazaar for the ben
eft of St. MichaeHs church at Martins
hall From the fish pond and the fortune
teller to the pretty booths with their
tempting array of articles for sale every
thing was patronized Pretty girls with
winning ways lured the visitors to their
financial ruin in the shape of chances on
everything from silk waists to dolls. And
everybody entered heartily into the spirit
of the affair. OF course, Father O'NeilI
was on hand and q acenter of attraction
If the same record is made for the sue
ceeding three nights Of the bazaar 1t will
be the most successful ever held in st.
Michael's parish.
The large hall is tastefully festooned
with bunting, and there are four
booths besides the dining room at which
real homelike meals are served at din
ner time and evenings. In connection with
the booths there are a number of con-
tests. A conductors valise, offered to the
most popular railroad man. is being con-
tested for by Anthony Vallee of the
Omaha, and J. Mcclure, of the Great
Western; a suit of clothes by Mas. ers
Frank Whitmore. Joseph Morrissey and
Donald Casey; mandolin by Irving
Morgan and John J. Gould, and there is
a contest besides for a big flaxen haired
doll.
Mrs. Philip Cowley and Mrs. Frank
Reagan are contesting for dining room
table; Mrs. Fry, Mrs. Brauldt and Mrs
Trudeau for a large Bible; Thomas Hank
ms and James Dewitt for suit of boys
clothes; Martin Coonen and Thomas Nor
gan for a shotgun; Miss Mary Moriarty.
Miss Rose Carnitch and Miss Sarah Ryan
for a painting; Miss Daisy Munyon and

place Friday and Saturday evenings.

EAGLE STREET SITE
A Lend Roar Being Made Against 1t
by the People.


To the Editor Of the Globe:
I noticed that Mr.. Fairchild. in your
issue ofe-today, defending the proposed
Eagle street site for our public market,
lays great stress upon the fact that the
retail grocers favor that site.
His faculty Of analysis is evidently
lacking in this connection or he would
appreciate the fact that the reason the
retail grocers are so favorable to that
location is because they know that the
market won't be patronized If 1t is To-
Gated there, hence they will have a sine
cure so far as the sale Of greenstuffs is
concerned
It is gratifying in the extreme to find
the two Democrats in the council at least
on the sile of the people
Here is an instance in which the refer
erdum might be used to good advantage.
Let the people speak for themselves,
through themselves, instead of through
representatives, some Of whose actions,
in this and other matters, are not above
suspicion.
We have been buncoed into turning
the old market building into formidable
competitor of some of our most enter
prising and public spirited merchants,
and it is the general opinion that after
the cost of lighting and heating has been
betrayed the city will be fortunate If it
comes OUT even, at the rate the lighting
privilege is being abused by some of the
tenants Every citizen, as we'll as every
produce farmer for nearly twenty miles
around st. Paul are interested in the To-
cality of the market and if 1t Is to be
sidetracked to some place where a search
warrant is required to find 1t, without
those most interested being granted
hearing, 1t Is about time the people took
the matter into their own hands and
have a legal investigation into the valid
ity of the whole market house transact
ton.
1t is worse than robbing Peter to pay
Paul If we are to lose the market site
for private ends, and foist a market To-
cation on the public that 1t does not de-
sire into the bargain. -VOX Populi.

COPYRIGHT OF SPEECHES.

In English law courts they have been
wrestling for some time past with q
question Of copyright law which natural
~ arrests the attention of all 'lit'ry fell
lers' and of others who are not especially
lit'ry, at least in their pursuits.
The facts of the case are about Theses,
Lord Roseberry delivered a speech on a
certain occasion. We don't know partic-
ularly what It's subject was or whether
1t was a good speech, a bad or an indif-
ferent one. The chances are, however,
that 1t was in the last mentioned class
The London Times reported that speech
Of his lordship, among others, and pro-
ceeded very cunningly to copyright the
same, or, with more legal exactness, its
report Of the same. Then some auda-
cious person comes along and proceeds
to print, publish and circulate the speech
oe his lordship in which the Times claim
ed property. He was hauled into court
and the court Of first resort held that
the Times was all right, and that it had
what the average irreverent and slangy
American would call a cinch on the
speech in question, and such other
speeches Of the ex-premier as it thought
proper to report and copyright
This was not altogether satisfactory
to the unimportant fraction Of the world
outside the Times office, and an appeal
to higher court was taken. That court
has now passed on the former judgment
and has reversed it, that august judicial
official, the master Of the rolls, declar-
ing, among other things, that he would
not stand for any scheme which might
turn the copyright. which was created
for the benefit Of authors, into an act
for the benefit Of reporters" The master
Of the rolls, indeed, throughout the en-
tire hearing of the appeal showed that
he was sadly down on the reporters,
thinking, no doubt Of the inordinate ap-
petite for rolls which the average re-
porter could develop in certain emergen-
cies. Anyway, his mastership felt called
upon to Indignantly deny, in answer to
some argument of the counsel for the
Times, that no reporter whatever had
been the author of his decisions.
The very grave question involved will
now HE itself to that great judicial body,
the house of lords, for final settlement.
Considering the attitude which that au-
gust body is generally regarded as bearing
toward. all questions involving the prog
ress Of the rest of the world, it can be re-
lied on to give the subject all the deep
considers ton and thought which it ap-
pears to merit. We regret, however, to
record our conviction that whatever the
rights or privileges of the unhappy re-
porter may be in the premises, he will re-
ceive but scant and still more scant con-
sideration the higher UP in the judicial
world this question ascends.

HIS TEETH KILLED HIM.
Theodore Heath, Who Swallowed
His False Teeth, Died Yesterday.

Theodore Heath, who underwent an
operation at st. Joseph's hospital last
Sunday for the removal of two false
teeth that he had swallowed, died at
o'clock yesterday morning. Death was
directly due to peritonitis induced by a
laceration of the intestines caused by
sharp corner of the plate to which the
false teeth were attached Mr. Heath
lived at South Park. A week before the
operation was performed he swallowed
the false teeth during a laughing fit at
the table. Later he was seized with
pains in the stomach. and upon the adj
vice Of his physician was removed to
the hospital AS an only eXpedient to
save Mr.. Heath's life, Drs. Cobb Donald
and Highly performed an operation Sun
day afternoon, making an incision in the
abdomen and removing the teeth The in
jury to the intestines was observed at
this time, but it was hoped Mr.. Heath
would benefit by the operation and re-
cover. He did not rally, however, and
passed away yesterday morning. De
ceased was thirty years of age. He was
married and is survived by his wife.
