STOCK GAMBLING.

One OF the newspapers OF our city
states that n. Waterhouse & Co.
having purchased ranch on Maui
expect to consolidate the new pur-
chase with the Ulupalakua ranch
property, incorporate and place the
shares OF the company on the
market. The promotion of this new
company might be taken as an evil
dence of prosperity; but does it
represent any real addition to the
wealth and resources OF these ISL
ands1 We believe that little re-
faction will suffice to show that our
question is one worth considering.
The firm undertaking the hotstion
Of the company is known to our
community as the one which essay
ed to promote the Multi scheme
and failed; since which failure it
has carried on stock brokerage
business. OF course the shares OF
the proposed com pany will add one
more to the list OF the Stock Ex-
change offerings and thus prove
advantageous to stock brokers.
This goes without saying A share
in one OF our numerous sugar or
other incorporated enterprises has
no value except that which is de-
rived from its capacity to earn
dividends by carrying on business
in sugar making, transportation,
cattle raising aud 40 on. Trans
ferring one share or thousand
from one speculator to another adds
nothing to the value of the proper.
ty it represents; but the transfer
does put ducats into the pockets OF
stock brokers. The transactions on
our stock board may represent
twenty per cent for Investment,
while the other eighty per cent
represents gambling pure and sim
pie. No person, we hope, will have
the hardihood to contend that our
islands can possibly become rich
from gambling; unless it may be the
persons who signed the petition to
the legislature for Lottery Act in
1892.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

In our editorial upon Thanks
giving" we stated that the Puerto
Rican, owing to the military occu-
patton OF his island, had little to be
thankful for. The following, taken
from the Chicago Journal, gives
particulars which strongly support
our statement:
"The Diario de Porto Rico tells a
melancholy tale Of the political con:
dition OF the natives OF that island.
Without knowing whether all OF
the Diario's state ments are facts, it
may be said that there 10 ne reason
for doubling them. They read like
facts, at least. Porto Rico, it
says, enjoys less of civil liberty
now than it had under Spanish rule.
Formerly PortoRicans elected three
senators and sixteen representatives
to the congress OF Spain, now they
have one delegate in Washington
without vote.
Formerly they had . council OF
secretaries, whose resolutions were
always sanctioned by the governor,
now they have an executive council,
chiefly composed of persons who
were not born in the island, and en-
JOY no standing whatever in it, and
who will naturally interest them.
selves more for the country appoint
ing them than for the region meet
ing their salaries.
Spite Of the heavy taxes exacted
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-12-04

by Spain the island always had a
surplus revenue, now it faces a de-
fcit OF million dollars, due largely,
no doubt, to the effects OF the hur-
ricane. Yet Congress voted more
than two millions to the island when
the tariff bill was pending. 1--WE
have been granted nothing OF what
we were promised" seys the Diario
which. making all allowance for ex-
aggeration, is uncomfortably close
to the facts. The grievances OF u g
Porto Ricaus are set forth as rea.
son why they ab'tained from joining
in the celebration OF the anniversary
of the union with the United
States"

Jury will ever take cognizance OF
the case. The rescuipg ,business
sounds very nice but it is impracti-
cable and senseless in the manner
that the good" people heretofore
hfve adopted Let prostitution be
regulated by law, as it is in the
most advanced countries OF the
world, and then there is at least a
chance to protect the young and
unprotected girls. To hope for
financial support from Legislature
until practical methods are present
ed is absurd. The Legislature will
not fiud treasury rich enough to
spare money for maudlin seuti-
ment.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

Our Judiciary is really funny at
times, The Circuit Judge OF the
First Circuit fred out Chester A.
Doyle as Japanese interpreter in the
Courts OF the First Circuit. This
morning Doyle left for Lahaina to
act az Japanese interpreter at the
term OF the Second Circuit, at the
request OF the Chief Justice. The
harmony in the judicial sphere is
not visible to the nak"d eye Of tho
looker.on.

Considerable mitigation has been
felt by the congregations OF st.
Andrews Cathedral at the sermon
delivered by the Rev. Hamilton Lee
on Thanksgiving Dsy to the joined
congregations. We are glad that
Mr.. Lees sermon has been publish
ed in full by the Advertiser. From
beginning to end it shows that the
reverend gentleman, who Mr.. Mack
intosh picked up somewhere, does
not understand the feelings in these
islands, and especially is ignorant OF
the sentiments OF tho congregations
OF the Cathedral. II he had sub
mitted his sermon to the Bishop it
would not have been delivered. To

ed with the uncalled-for insult to
tho Hawaiians as the Hswaiians
and "aliens," as the Advertiser csll
non-Americans, were. We are not
used to political speeches in the
English Church, aud we trust that
no further endeavor will Je made
in mixing up religion With politics,
We believe that Rev. II. Lee has
a barrel full OF sermons and that. by
mistake he fished out an old Fourth
OF July oration instead OF Thanks
giving sermon, and discovered his
mistake when it was too late to
remedy it. Fourth OF July orations
are all right before a patriotic,
spread-eagle American" audience,
but it is out Of place when delivered
from the pulpit OF St. Andrews 8
Cathedral in Hawaii.

A meeting of the Board of Health

the old sanitary code, established
twenty years ago was repealed, and
a new one adopted. The new code is
much more complete than its prede-

81 sections. and provides for a com

to which the inhabitants of the
