dispensable. Congress is in no mood
TO have its prerogatives swept aside
at the suggestion OF three men, and
power taken from it to be placed in
the hands Of the President. The
report, in it's recommendations that
an American school. system and a
system OF courts akin to our own be
introduced, will meet with favor.
In most other respects it is plainly
imperialstic, and tends TO make
more potent the manifestation of a
spirit'contrary to honored precedent,
and one the workings of which are
accepted now with regret and under
protest. The grave fault with the
report is that it would take from
the legislative arm OF authority and
give to the executive arm. In place
Of Congressional Act, it would have
Presidential decree. As an excuse
for this it asserts that the first
course would 80 change the status
OF the island as to make it constitu-
tioDal territory rather than permit
ting it to remain colony. A search
of the Constitution, paper still re-
garded as of dignified import ance,
fails to disclose any provision for
thus exalting the Executive or for
the maintenance of dependent colo
MES. These truths, the members OF
the commission appear to have over
looked. The President Of the
United States is not lsw-giver;
the Congress is not body to be
ignored; The commission will hear
from it,"

Czar Mckinley has listened to
men who wish to make the present
peculiar conditions in Hawaii more
embarrassing to the Dole Govern.
ment than even now is the case. We
feel confident that he did not under
stand the far-reaching consequences
OF his Executive Order in which all
sales or agreements for sale of pub
lie lands, made since the 9th Of
July, 1893, the day when the reso-
luton of annexation was adopted
by Congress, are declared null and
void, and the Hawaiian Government
ordered to cancel deeds and refund
moneys received from transactions
in connection with the sale OF pub
lie lands.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-09-29

AS far as Hawaii is concerned the
President is evidently a law-giver
and his Executive Orders supersede
the laws Of these Islands. "What
are we going to do about it2" is the
question asked by many. We can
see only one way out of the mess that
is for the people who have purchased
government lands in good faith since
July, 1898, to refuse to give them
up and refuse to accept the moneys
which the local authorities have
been ordered to refund. If Mr.. Dole
and his colleagues have Any back
bone they would refuse to obey the
Executive Order and rather resign
than declare the deeds granted by
them null and void. But as long as
there are fat salaries in sight there
is no fear that any oi quariette will
do the manly act By stepping down
and out aud suggesting to Boss
Mckinley to run the whole show
himself. You wanted annexation
gentlemen, and you bava got it with
vengeance and we now sympathize
with rather than congratulate you.

The President of the United
States hereby directs that all pro-
ceedings taken or pending for the
sale or disposition of the public
lands in the Hawaiian Islands shall
be discontinued; and that il any
sales or agreements for sale OF said

the adoption of the Resolution Of
Annexation, the purchasers shall be
notified that the same are null and
void and any consideration paid to
the local authorities on account
therefor shall be refunded.
In witness whereof, | have

Nothing to say.

When asked this morning whether
he had any views to express in re-

executive order, Mr.. Dole replied,
"No. We are subordinates to the
Washington authorities. 1t would
not be right for me to say any
thing"

The INDEPENDENT cannot be accus,
ed of being friendly to the Dole re-
gime, but in this instance we think
the Government acted in good faith
aud according to the instructions
given to it through Special Agent
Sewall, acting for the Washington
Government. More than fourteen
months have passed by and our
local government has constantly
been told to go ahead according to
the laws of Hawaii, and where differ
ence OF opinion has arisen the Wash
ington Government has invariably
upheld the actions of our Executive
and the decisions of our Judiciary
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-09-29

Quite suddenly change comes
over the dream OF Mr.. Mckinley and
he remembers that by the wording
of the Newland Resolution he is the
great autocrat of Hawaii and that
he can do here exactly as he pleases,
irrespective OF existing laws, Who
caused this change of his dream we
cannot tell, OF course, but we
don't think we are a mile away
from the truth when we recog-
nize in the Executive Order the
fine Italian hand OF the Spe-
cial Agent, Mr.. Sewall. The ex-
pansion policy OF his government
has made Mr.. McKinley's ordinary
hat too small for his head In his
dealings with Porto Rico he is
adopting the attitude of an auto
cratic ruler as he now seems to be
doing in Hawaii.

THE latest advlces from below indicate that a great many members of Congress will visit Alaska during the coming sum- mer. Members of both legisla tive bodies in Washington have expressed a desire ito visit the most northern of Uncle Sam's Possessions, and in order that their visit may be productive of good, Governor Brady has ar- ranged to accompany from the sound such of the members as choose to como. For fear how ever that this arrangement would simply be case of "The blind leading the blind" it would be we'll for the citizens of Alas1e to take the matter in hand and appoint a committee to act as guide for the distinguished Sen ators and CongresSmen who come to our shore. Alaska has been cursed with as poor legis- latiOn as was ever forced on an intelligent and law abiding com munity, and the thing to do is for the various Chambers of Commerce to appoint represent tatives to confer with each other and arrange to entertain these visitors, at the same time point ing out to them our various needs. A member of Congress who knows the needs of Alaska can do more in one hour for Alaska than the most powerful lobby that Juneau and Skaguay can maintain. This is a matter that the Wrangel Chamber of Commerce should take up at once. There is prestige in talk ing the initiative,

As yet no action has been talk en looking to the spring clean ing that our streets badly need. Every good housewife will be busy in the spring house clean tug, but their duty does not ex- tend beyond their home. The male portion of our inhabitants should take care of the rest. During the warm days this week a disagreeable odor was distinct ly noticed coming from portions of Front street, and unless steps are taken at once to clean up the refuse which has been dump ed in pieces dnring the past winter, this city will be visited by an epidemic of sickness. The Chamber of Commerce should act in the matter at once. Delay is dangerous.

They are a necessity and bene- fit to Wrangel; and if the Secre- tary of War wishes to cater to the wishes of the business men of Wrangel, he will dispatch all entire regiment to this place.

IN another column we publish an interview with Mir. w. C.. Thomas of Wrangel, which is of great interest to this city. The scheme as proposed seems very feasible, and we hope it will meet with succrss. Not only that we may congratulate MT. Thomas on his success: but if the country to which he is going proves to be equal to expecta tions it will mean a big thing for Wrangel.

CONTINUED good reports are daily reaching our ears relative to rich finds along the coast of South eastern Alaska. One day it is in Ketchikan: the next Helm Bay; then it is the Copper Mountain and Prince of Wales Island. Every steamer brings some prospector who packs his pick and shovel and goes into the hills to work. This is a vast improvement on the gener- al run of arrivals of a year ago. Then men came here with the avowed intention of looking for mineral. They possibly expect ed to be able to hire a guide for a few dollars who would take them to a forest where gold grows on bushes waiting to be knocked off with a club. Failing in this they became disgusted and discouraged, and after spending a little money and eat ing up their grub, they returned to former occupations in a more civilized community To be a successful prospector a man must have nerve and endurance,
 and be willing to work and toll day in and day out without knowing such a word as fail. It is the later class of men that are coming in to replace the worthless trash that is going away. The newcomers are prospectors of which any mining community has reason to be proud They will succeed where success is possible, and if they fail there will be no neol of oth- CTS covering the ground they covered. They are not salaricl hirelings of eastern syndicates with more money than brains. They will not remain idle for months as others have done, and then say the country is a failure. They will make an honest effort and no doubt the country will be
