THE TREASURY REPORT.

The annual report of the Treasury
OF the Hawaiian Government has
been issued by the Auditor General,
and a comparative statement of the
proceedings OF 1897 is attached. The
report is not very intelligent and
the ordinary student of figures will
feel puzzled alter wading through
the comparative statement, and the
taxpayers will know absolutely
nothing about the financial status
OF the country.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-25

If a common sense business man
was allowed to audit the report of
the Auditor General very different
report would probably be arrived at,
and the true financial status of Mr..
Dole's government exposed.

Tt is difficult to contemplate the
life OF Burns, in his youthful genius,
without strong feeling of Affection
ate admiration and respect. His
manly integrity of character (Which,
as peasant, he guarded with jeal-
Gus dignity, and his warm and true
heart, elevate him almost as much
as the native force and beauty of
his poetry. Toiling like galley
slave to support his parents and yet
grasping at every opportunity to
acquire sound knowledge OF men
and books, familiar with and loving
as true patriot the history of his
native land, he ever strove to do
something "for auld Scotia's sake"
Well may his countrymen remember
him with unfaltering love and indy
ing gratitude, and almost feel jeal-
GUS of the world for sharing him
with them.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-25


of Finance were never brilliant or
conspicuous by accuracy, but the
Auditor. Generals report is simply
unintelligible, and does not furnish
the slightest information of true
facts to the public. If these COM
parative statements are to be of the
slightest value every item should be
explained, We read that in 1897,
the Department of Foreign Affairs
expended about S57 900, and in 1898,
about $4,000. No explanation of
this wonderful raise is offered, and
the taxpayers cannot understand
why the expenses OF defunct de-
partment should have increased by
more than a hundred percent. We
presume that the damages paid to
the Japanese immigrants expelled
from here and to other claimants
are embodied in the item of 1898,
but we don't see why those expendi-
lures, due to blunders of Mr.. Dole's
Government, should be charged to
the Foreign Office.
The report shows that business
in real estate, etc., has advanced
during the past year. In 1898, reve-
nue. stamps were sold to the amount
of $4,000 against SAT, 900 in the pre-
vious year. Increases in revenue are
also noticed from the Custom
Bureau, the Postal Department, the
Tax Offices, Land Revenue and Con-
veyance Bureau. The Government
realizations, which are put at $4,000
in 1898 against $4,000 in 1897, is
another mysterious source of reve-
nue.. What have our virtuous gov
ernment been ''realizing" on since
annexation was a fait acconeplis? Is
it the result of the sale of stamps, or
curios, or decorations, or crown
jewels and other properties which,
we believe, it was agreed to hand
over to the United States as part of
the assets OF this stolen country?
While there should be an increase
of more than 100000 in the ex-
penditures of the Board of Educa-
tion is also matter to be explained.
Minister of Education Cooper, who
draws salary as defunct Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, and devotes his
his time in inspecting jails in the
Maui villages. may arise and explain.
OF course we will be told about the
building of schoolhouses, the expen-
ses of which properly should come
under the Interior Department The
Board of Education no longer "own''
anything except the unfortunate
teachers, shipped" to work under
the direction of the assembled intel,
ligence of the Board representing
the education" OF Hawaii-nei.
We were led to believe that the
Government is paying its obliga
tions monthly, but we notice thai
warrants outstanding on "Dec. 31st
1897" amount to over $4,000. The
next loan indebtedness has increas
ed, and we now admit an indebted
ness of about $4,000O00. At the
same time we are told that ther'
are $4,000 lying in the Treasury a
"current cash balance" Out of tha
amount expenses will have to b.
paid until the next taxes come il
and besides paying $4,000 "unpai(
claims, 1897" the warrants out
standing" we presume that thu
sewerage, the roads. parks, stables
ETC., now proposed to be constructed
by the Government, will havs to b.
paid out OF that amount.

Telescope Coffee Pots.

These are made on the prin-
ciple of the famous French
cdfetieres. 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 ground 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 TELESCOPE
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.

issued his first volume from an
obscure press of Kilmarnock. 1t
was but a small edition of 600 copies
but its influence was Immediately
felt, and, as a distinguished critic
says, is still operating on the whole
