When la grippe visited this sec.

son, Mo, was one OF the victims, and
has since been troubled with the
after-effects of the disease. He is a
we'll known contractor and builder, a
business requiring much mental and
physical work. A year ago his health
began to fail and he was obliged to
discontinue work. That he lives to-
day is almost miracle. He says:

breath, palpitation of the heart

panied me severely.

and numerous remedies suggested
by my friends, but without apparent
benefit, and began to give up hope.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-03-18

The neglect to declare these bonds
forfeited and to collect the amounts
due on them is a direct insult to
every member of the Senate and the
House OF Representatives. Whether
the measure was wise or not is not a
question at all. The fact remains
that the measure became law, and
being such it should be carried out,
even if the wrath OF the sugar barons
should fall on the head of the Gov
eminent. 1t is unjust, cowardly and
even fraught with fraud and corrup-
ton to allow law of the country to
become dead letter simply to suit
a certain class of the citizens. And
remember well that the Legislature
was controlled by that class, that
the planters were the men who
spouted about their Americanism
and "white" laborers at all hazards,
and wanted Asiatic immigration
checked if not stopped by the pass
age of this very law, calling for the
introduction of white labor at the
rate of ten percent of the Asiatic
coolies imported.

IS 1T a DEAD LETTER.

The Solons representing the clique
which has been running the Govern
ment during the past six years,
enacted law which made it COM
pulsory on the importers of Asiatic
laborers to bring to the islands Eu-
ropeans or Americans to the amount
of ten percent of the number of Ash
atics imported by them.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-03-18

We do not desire to cast a straw
in the way OF the planters getting
all the Asiatic coolies or other cheap
laborers to sweat in their fields and
mills and develop the new enter
prises with stock gambling ard div
idends, but we claim that it is un-
dignifed to have law on our stat
utes, which is not enforced, and that
the Government cannot afford the
charge of servility, cowardice if not
corruption, which can justly be laid
at its door, if they do not declare
the bonds now lapsed, forfeited;
$4,000 Japanese coolies will soon be
on their way to Hawaii. Gentlemen
of the Government, the law demands
5000 "white" laborers to follow
them or the laws and the Government
of the country will be brought into
contempt.

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Dole Letter.

Ed. The INDEPENDENT
In the course of the warbling of
sc x-President Dole's" long letter to
Harper's Weekly, is the following
choice morsal: Many Hawaiians
cheerfully accepted the abrogation
Of the monarchy, having lost conf
dence in it. These, as rule, would
have preferred the continuance of
the republic of Hawaii to annexa-
ton, but with confidence in the
Judgment of the annexationists,
brsvely faced the new departure"
There you are gentlemen, read care
fully and digest, and if you don't
quickly come to the conclusion, that
Mr.. Dole has out-rapked old Ananias
in the art of lying, then the crucifi-
cation of our Savior was a myth.
In the name of common sense, if the
Hawaiians s'cheerfully accepted" the
stealing of their homes aud placed
confidence in the judgment of the"
thieves, why all this arming of so
many aliens from every quarter of
the globe, at the rate Of forty dollars
month and found? And also why
was the palace seized and turned
into government building and for
10 h 1
hundred armed men there every day
and night, and all government men
from the President down, with pis-
tolls in their pockets and bowie
knives in their boots? And again, if
the Hawaiians cheerfully accepted
the situation, why did Mr., Dole beg
of the United States government to
station an armed cruiser here and
then encourage the commander to
parade his armed forces frequently
through the streets OF Honolulu in
order to terrorize those cheerful
Hawaiians2 After the riot of 1895,
some hundred or two of Hawaiians
became discouraged, and seeing no
signs of restoration of their rights,
took the oath to the government
and worked for annexation. When
asked by anyone of their friends
why they mad done so, their answer
would Invariably be this; we see no
other way to down this accused
oligarchy, except we have annexa-
ton. Advertiser please copy and

SAVING PUBLIC MONEY.

Our city rulers are of course from time to
time confronted by situations in whichthey
have opportunity to show their devotion
to the public welfare. 1t is needless to
say that they always avail themselves OF
such occasions, especially when they are
able to do so with the desired publicity,
and to win the public acclaim which
usually attends such performances.
The purchase of coal for the use of our
public schools this year offered such an
opportunity When first confronted by
the undesirable condition of all the local
dealers uniting in Offering just the same
bids on the contract to supply the coal,
it will be remembered that these officials
who were charged with the duty of max
ing the necessary purchases met the ad-
vances of the coal people with loud up
braidings of them as being engaged in
coal combine. There was at once a gen
eral discussion precipitated by them as
to the proper course to pursue in order
to bring the coal barons to their sense.
Indeed somebody had the temerity to sug-
gest that soft coal should be used for
getting that the use of that commodity,
under our rigorous local code, was liable
to land the offenders in the lookup.
There were many other expedients sug-
gested, and 1t was made very plain in
deed that the feelings of our good serv-
ants were deeply wounded at the unbe-
coming conduct Of the local representa-
tives Of the coal barons.
The sequel is instructive New bids were
ordered. Those bids were opened yester-
day, with the result that they were found
still to be alike, with this important quail
ifcation: They represented all advance
of 25 cents on the ton on every class OF
coal on the bids which had been rejected
with such loud outcries. The coal pur-
chasing committee consists of the Hon
orable the Mayor of st. Paul; the Hon
orabie, the President of the Assembly
and the Honorable, the City Treasurer.
What did this worthy body Of city dig
nitaries do when confronted by the IN
creased exactions of the representatives
of The coal barons? They Just simply &C
cepted The bids, and kept judiciously
quiet. This, of course, they might have
done in the first instance; but they didn't.
No doubt the good Republican electors
of this city are satisfied that the Illus
tration of civic virtue and vexation which
these honorable gentlemen furnished was
cheap at the price of % cents per ton adj
ditional They are really entitled to ad-
ditional praise and communication in that
bv accepting the bids in the second in
stance they saved the taxpayers a pos
sible addition of 25 or perhaps 50 cents
more on the ton.

society, the Young Peoples Christian
Temperance Union came into being today
in Willard hall. 1t had somewhat anar-
chratic birth The delegate from Mis-
souri,. William Kreeme, of Kansas City,
advocated the use of dynamite in spread
ing the temperance doctrines by blowing
IN distileries and breweries, declaring
that violence would furnish the only
mans by which the new society could
accomplish its purpose.
The other delegates did rot agree with
the opinion OF the delegate from Mis-
souri,, and there were decided declara-
lions against the proposition.
The new society came into being full
fedged Committees on constitution and
rules were appointed formally, but in
reality they had been in existence and
lad their work completed before the con-
vention assembled.
The constitution pledges the newly
formed society to the project Of securing
100000 voters for the Prohibition party
and of collecting $1,000. 600, OF more, if
necessary, to save the Woman's Temple.
In these two respects it is diverged from

James a. NOVEL;, the resident manager
Of the American company, returned to
st. Paul yesterday, but refused to make
any statement concerning the reasons of
the company for withdrawing from Gen.
POpe'S bond.
Gov. Lind said yesterday that, pending
the formal acceptance Of the new bond
secured by Gen. Pope, he should hold the
bonding company liable, and If there was
any dispute over the matter the courts
would have to settle it. He had not seen
the new bond and had given it no con-
sideration. Gen. Pope or any other Off
cial might file as many bonds as they
saw fit, provided they were good and
valid. Any one of them might file bond
for a million dollars if he chose. 1t did
not affect the first bond in any way He
should hold that the first company was
still liable to the state on the bond Of
Gen. Pope.
The governor regards the new bond as
simply an additional surety.
