SOME CITY AFFAIRS.
Two Council Committees 10 Session
Last Evening.
THE FIRE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED
SEVERAL IMPORTANT MAT
TIERS FOUR COMMITTEES
CALLED FOR THIS EVENING
BEFORE THE SESSION OF COUN-
GIL.

Council meets this evening in regu-
lar session. Before the meeting con-
venes four committees have been call
ed, namely Streets, Alleys and Grades
Cemeteries, Real Estate and Petitions
and Remonstrances. At the Streets
Alleys and Grades session the Wheel
ing Railway ordinance will probably
be heard from again.
Last evening the Committee on Fire
met, with the Mayor, Chief and City
Engineer White, and a humber of de-
partment matters were talked over.
Bills to the amount of $559.92 were or
dered paid. A new fire alarm box was
ordered for the Sixth ward. A hot
water boiler and new wall paper were
ordered for the hook and ladder house.
The question of third horse for the
ladder truck came up on the ground
that the apparatus, which responds to
all alarms, is too heavy for two horses,
but it was at once stated that third
horse could not be accommodated in
the house, and this, by easy stages, led
to the opinion that there should be a
new house and a new ladder truck.
With that the subject was dropped.
The matter of wiring the various en-
CINE houses for electric lights, prepara-
tory to making use of the terms of the
Consumers Electrical Company ordi-
nance, came up, and after a short talk
Chief Cline was instructed to see the
Company named with reference to it's
doing the work.
A request for a turnout of the de-
partment on Emancipation Day devel-
oped an unanimous sentiment in the
negative, and the Committee decid-
ed that the department had
paraded the last time, for good
and sufficient reasons. There is
always danger of fire in one end of
town while the department is away at
the other end, with an added danger of
accidents on crowded streets, and it is
very improbable that the department
will be feature of any other parade
in the life of the present Council.
The proposed new engine house on
McColloch street, around the hill, 4" was
discussed for quite a time, with no
tangible result The Committee APP
pears to be very much at sea as to loca-
ton, some favoring the neighborhood
Of fourteenth street and others the
extreme north end of McColloch, near
Baker. One verbal proposition was
Submitted rom Jonn McGannon,
through a member of the Committee,
offering to sell 80 feet front by 60 deep,
with a private alley on the side, for
$1,000, or any number of feet front by
120 deep, with a private alley, at the
rate of $40 per front foot. 1t begins to
look as though nothing would be done
in this matter this season.
The Committee on Accounts met last
night and recommended for payment
bills aggregating $219.01. The books
were found correct
The B. P. w. held a short session
yesterday for routine business.

and also for an expression OF opinion.
The following answer was returned last
night:
Will gladly sign address. A verdict
based on race prejudice, self-interest
and hear-say evidence is a blot upon
civilization and should be strongly con-
demned.

LARGE IMPROVEMENTS
To BE Made at the Wheeling Electr
Plant.

Plant.
The Wheeling Electrical Company
intends to make some extensive i'm
provements at its plant on the South

engine, a goodnight generator, and a

boiler are to be set UP and will GER
tainly increase the power of the plant

every reason to be satisfied with the
new travelling crane and switchboard
which were set up recently. A number
of workmen are now excavating for the
foundation for the big engine which
will occupy prominent site at the
works.

man wants to drag an honored
name into the mud by being found
in a disorderly house let him pay
for his folly and not be excluded by
the Marshal, who of course always
represents the embodiment of virtue
and morality in the community. If
young "bloods" will take risks in
being found on premises, where
they have no business, let them
suffer the consequences for the ben
eft OF themselves and the other
"bloods." The newspapers have the
right to shield offenders when in
the judgment OF the conductors of
papers, there are reasons why pub
licity should not be given, but the
stern hand of the law should be ad-
minstered equally to all and ro dis
elimination should be made. Rich
or poor, friendless or "protected"-
every man should be treated alike
by our police authorities snd by the
Courts.

Why does Ah Chuck chuck away his
hard earnings gained by selling car
rots and radishes, at five cont fan

he not join the Pacific Club and tell
refined "Anglo-Saxon" stories or
don uniform and study tragedy at
the Bungalow with the Anglo-Sax-
ons who often steer their way from
that scientific establishment, while
trying to prove that square and a
circle are really all the same7 Let
us join hands in educating our
heathen brethren. Let us run them
in every time they enjoy short rest
from hard work in the best manner
they know how, and let us bring
them up to the higher plane OF

their ears to listen with rapture to
Berger's bass drums Instead of en-
joying the "gongs." Let them drop

1t makes no difference where and
when discrimipa alton is made. 1t is
wrong wherever public business is
in question, and such policy covers
the authorities with ignominy and
contempt. Whether it is a pardon
granted to a vile prisoner through
family influence, or refusal to serve
subpenas because the witnesses are
friends of the ruling clique, or the
private sale of valuable stamps to a
government protege, it is all the
same to the people at large who
justly and emphstically condemn
frvoritism of any kind, and object to
a discrimination in public affairs,
which can only have disastrous
results.

A Large Bankrupt Stock.

L. B. Kerr, Queen street, is now
holding a sale of BANKRUPT stock of
the great firm of Nimmo e. Co., 16
Regent street, London, and is offer
ing such bargains as will surprise
every person who sees them. The
stock was so large that it took con-
siderable time to arrange it. A
glance upstairs where goods are
packed to the ceiling will show how
large it was, and comprises very
complete stock of drygoods. Every
body is invited to inspect it.

TO GO OR NOT TO GO.

Mr.. President Dole
Is in big hole
And he don't know what to do;
Whether to stay home
Or again to roam
To Washington's halls anew.
For if he goes,
There's nobody knows
What'll happen while he's away;
Sewall and his hosts
Aud Bulletin roasts
Advise him he'd better stay.
II to go he must,
There's none he can trust,
To look we'll after his fences;
And sad to relate
That Council OF State
Is no longer good for expenses.
To go or not to go,
Poor Dole, he don't know,
To decide he'd give crown jewe
He hates to resign,
But it's his best design,
And all on account of Sewall.

jailor in charge then to pay the ex-
penses of special guards, If the pri-
soners would be allowed to sit on
the verandahs outside the cells,
smoke, sing and talk until 8 o'clock
in the evening. The jailor answered
that his instructions we're per-
emptory, and .thatl lAttorney- General
Smith allowed no liberties whatever
to be granted to the So called poll
tical prisoners, and consequently
they we're thrown into the cells at
the hour, when they, in their homes,
were going to dinner, and deprived
OF sufficient light to read or write.
Mr.. Henry is man of broad views,
it is pity that he was not running
the Jail in 1895. He might have
saved the taxpayers heavy bill for
damages, that is, if W. o. Smith had
allowed him to use his own judg-
ment, as he does now in the interest
of proper discipline and decent
management Of the big Prison of
Hawaii nei.
When looking over the police
records we feel proud to notice that
the Anglo -Saxons in this advanced
post of modern aggressive civiliza-
ton very rarely indulge in gam
bling. We daily see Chinese and
Japanese by the dozens brought be-
fore the magistrates and punished
for playing 5 cents dominoes or
"bucking the tiger" in a fan tan
game. 1t is glorious record for the
Anglo, Saxons and triumph for the
racial problems and thrones ad-
vanced daily by Mr., Dole's organ
Shake, Nevin, old boy (not dice, OF
course). Again the superiority ol
the muchly- mentioned Anglo-Saxons
has come to the fore. Why do these
Chinese coolies and Japanese adven

TOPICS OF The DAY.

HASN'T Sewall's bellowing organ
a nominee for Senator? 1t is always
clamoring for party rule. The In
DEPENDENT has already nominated
John Phillips, aud better man
cannot be found, whatever may be
his national politics. Will he run?
If he does he can beat any other
nominee.
A correspondent tells us that the
other night, in building belonging
to the Government, deliberate in
suit was offered to the flag OF Spain
by an officer of the N. G. f., and in
presence of officers OF the Hawaiian
volunteers and of he u. S. A. If
our informant states the facts cor
rectly, we can only say that such
an action was decidedly un-Ameri
can, ungentlemanly and cowardly.
We don't know the name of the
man who did the act. and we do not
care to know it. No American gen.
tleman kicks man when down, and
the same rule apples to nations.
We may sneer at the Spanish navy,
and army, and Government, but no
man has u right to insult flag,
which for centuries ruled the world,
and behind which there is history
Of grandeur and conquest not yet
equalled by our own country. We
hope that the man who committed
the .fau1 pas was "exhilarated," and
not an American. Our correspond
ems says that he was severely "sat
on" for his gross breach of decency.
1t is very gratifying to notice the
manner in which Jailor William
Henry is conducting the Oahu Pri-
son. While upholding the necessary
discipline among the men given into
his hands for punishment or res
traint from liberty, he realizes that
the object of modern Jail is rather
to reform than to harden and make
desperate those, who have violated
the laws OF the land. Men confined
in Oahu Prison on writ OF commit,
ment and able to appreciate privi
lege are allowed to remain in the
prison library until p. m. The
jailor evidently recognizes the fact
that because man is committed foi
trial, he is not yet criminal and {
subject for punishment. The ole
rule OF treating man awaiting tria
before jury as if he were convic
should have been exploded long ago
Yet the men, who in 1895 were no
even committed or tried were locked
up at 6 p. M, the same hour as th'
murderers and burglars, and sodom
lists were, and kept under lock ant
key until 6 o'clock ia the morning

They are so simple that II
child can work them, and yet
they make the clearest, finest,
and purest coffee in the world,
preserving the beautiful aroma
and bouquet, and keeping the
liquor perfectly free from
grounds.
We refer to the
Telescope Coffee Pots.
These are made on the prin-
ciple of the famous French
catetieres. Inside of the coffee
pots is an adjustable cylinder
which can be raised or lower
ed and maintained in position
at will. Having affixed your
straining cloth and raised the
cylinder to the point you re-
quire, insert the gronnd coffee
into it and pour on your boil
ing water. Let it rest for five
minutes or so and the result
will be a perfect cup of
coffee, delightfully."- fresh, frag-
rant and stimulating and rich
in color.
These TELESCOPIC
COFFEE POTS we keep in
several sizes ranging from a
pint to two quarts, and the
price is extremely reasonable.
AS we have not an extremely
large stock on hand we wish
our patrons to examine them
as soon as possible.

The Marshal has of course the
right to call witnesses in any case
prosecuted by him, and it is within
his province to select those he
wishes to give evidence. But it is
very significant, that none OF the
sacred circle-found in conditions
equally compromising with those of
the witnesses summoned, should
have been subpenaed or invited to
explain why they were "there," or
whether their presence made the
premises, in the eyes of the law, a
disorderly house.

A raid was made in Honolulu on a
disorderly house few days ago.
Sixteen persons were found on the
premises, some belonging to the

others being beyond the pole of that
large armament. The owners OF
the place were arrested, and con-
venient postponement granted dur
ing which everybody knew that an

tween the defendants and the 16
who might be called as witnesses.

and gentlemen were not asked to
give testimony, the Marshal being
too considerate to do such thing,

case was called in the court this

DANGEROUS DISCRIMINATION

The causes which make the ignor-
ant classes of men socialists and
anarchists, and fill intelligent men
with contempt for those who are
clothed with brief authority, are
nearly always due to the discrimina
ton shown against the poor and
humble and the nepotism which
makes any offender against the law
