Disavows Connection

Judge Stanley has addressed the
following letter to the ?. @. Adver-
tiser: N'f1
DEAR SIR:-In your issue of this
date (August 10) Inotice that you
publish some correspondence alleg.
ed to have passed between Messrs.
Harris and Ward purporting to re-
present the Second Congregation of
st. Andrews Cathedral and st. OLE
ment's Chapel, and the Bishop of
Honolulu. Without attempting to
discuss at this time the merits or
demerits of the proposed basis OF
settlement as outlined 10, that cor
respondence, I wish explicitly to
disavow any connection Herewith
on the part OF the Second Congre-
cation OF st. Andrews Cathedral. /
may say that Mr.. l.. Del. Ward is
neither an officer nora member Of
the Second Congregation, and, while
it is true that Mr.. Harris and other
members OF our congregation are
members OF a corporation newly
formed, known as "The Church De-
fence and Extension Association Of
Hawaii" that fact does not autho-
rize them to represent this CORES
pondenoe as emanating from our
congregation. The correspondence
has never been submitted to me, a
churchwarden of the congregation,
nor to my knowledge to anybody
representing or authorized to repre-
sent the congregation. Ny first
knowledge Of any such correspon-
dence was obtained from your issue
OF this date.
| remain, respectfully yours,
w. L. STANLEY.

The INDEPENDENT never did take
much stock in the sincerity of Mr..

grateful acknowledgements for your
kindly advance notices OF the COM
ing OF the Tivoli Opera Co., deem
it my duty to enclose copy of letter
which reached me Aug. 10th, in or
der that you and the Honolulu pub
lie may understand that the COM
pany, through its manager Geo. E.
Lask, has broken faith and repudi-
ated his contract with me without
any cause or reason. And / now
offer my humble apologies to the
public and you for having made
statements which l am unable to
carry out. Individually I have made
every arrangement here and have
gone to much expense, believing l
was dealing with an honorable busi-
ness man but find that / have been

How many Of the persons who OBJ
tanned homesteads, say in Puukapu,
on Hawaii, have fulfilled their obli-
cations, and how many Of them will
have the audacity to ask for fee
simple title few months from now
claiming that they have observed
the conditions obligatory on them
when the lands were granted to
themi Have they fenced the lands,
improved them, built on them, or
even taken up their residence on the
acres granted to them7 We think
that the ranch owners in the neigh
borhood would have been perfectly
justified il they had secured the
homesteads and like the present
holders used them for pasture lands
without single apology for i'm
provements or an attempt to con-
form with the law and the rules.
We protest against the granting of
a single deed to any homestead in
regard to which the prescribed con-
ditions have not been observed by
the men who now apply for owner
ship. A careful investigation should
be made--not at Puukapu only-but
in every place where Mr.. Dole's
homestead Act has been experiment
ed with. Let the land agents report
in each instance to their chief, and
let that great man decline to grant
single title in fee of homestead
lands to men who have not filled
thsir part of the contract between
them and the Hawaiian Government.

In theory, his homestead policy
may appear sound and wise, but how
is his policy carried out? Favorit-
ism and partiality are transparent
in nearly every deal, while the main
point in his policy is rarely enforced,
that is the making of the public
lands granted homesteads in the
true sense OF the word.
