TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The cause Of righteousness pre-
vailed on Saturday. The church and
the Joss house went down but The
INDEPENDENT was saved and now
stands as lone mile stone in the
burnt out district.

We were Surprised when the Coun-
Gil of State proposed to appropriate
100000 for the purpose of paying
our rich wholesale house the amounts
OF the notes due them by Chinese
storekeepers. The fire on Saturday
prevented the meeting of the Coun-
Gil at which the item undoubtedly
would have passed in spite of the OPP
position of Minister Damon and
few Councillors who held that it was
wise to pay the poor people who
have lost all their first and secondly
consider the claims of the owners
of the merchandise. The merchan-
disc is burnt now and we see no
reason why any appropriation should
be made at present. We all know
that it is religious idea of Chinese
to settle their accounts before Chi
nese New Years, and we have no
doubt thyt the foreign wholesale
houses would feel very happy if
their debtors were allowed to finger
100000 from the public treasury
and through appeal to their honor,
and vague promises, be induced to
meet their notes for their burnt
goods. The niger in the fence is
too conspicuous and we hope our
millionaire merchants will be made
to wait for their claims until every
one of the poor devils who lost their
all have received what kind of com
pensation a just Government will
allott to them.

Mr.. Singer is a broken hearted
man. His bakery cannot fill the
enormous orders for bread and yet
he reads in paper that Judge Will
COX is sprinkling -four on his pre-
misses instead Of lime. Singer is
closely watching the raise in the
price of the Judges poi and will
follow suit in regard to his bread.
We advice the boss baker to use poi
for cementing purposes until the
Judge stops using flour for disin-
fecting purposes.

Why is it that the streets were
filled this morning with women and
childrens The Sanitary Committee,
the Board of Health and the press
have asked our good ladies to stay
at home at present, and yet they
have to drive around, do little
shopping, which could be done by
telephone and just take glance at
the ruins from the fire. If they per-

We suggest that the guarding Of
the infected district be somewhat
modified now. Guards should be
employed to prevent any persons
entering the burnt lands but there
is really no reason while the block
on Nuuanu and King streets should
not be opened, There hasn't been
a case in that block and the services
of the soldiers are needed elsewhere.
There is no fear now of Chinese
breaking through the lines because
there are no Chinese left in the in
fected district They are now under
the tower of Kawaiahao church.

The noble work of the fire depart
ment during the recent fires should
be we'll rewarded. 1t is perhaps too
early to make any suggestions but
we think that purse should be
made to give each of the boys in the
regular service Eve think there are
about 45) 500 each. The diamond
ornamented badges which as souve-
Mrs should be given to Chief Hunt,
and Commissioners Brown, Fisher
and Crozier we leave to the fair sex
who in 1895 remembered the gallant
officers of the police. The ladies are
all here and the hat might as we'll
be passed around now.

My first instruction in writing for q
newspaper was impaired to me by Hor-
ace Greeley in my boyhood days, fifty
seven years ago this month, and it will
no doubt surprise many of your read
ers to learn that at the present time
there are about fifty.two newspaper
men where there was then only one.
l noticed G. Yoran out this way a
few days ago. Did not enquire his
business, it might have been legal or a
horse trade, but 1 surmise it was the
former.
Recently near friend of mine had
his horse hitched up, ready, as I
thought, to skip out with widow lady,
but he didn't skip, and when 1 told the
story to Bob Fishel he said there were
forty-two generations from Adam to
the christian era, and if they were all
living on this earth now, not one of
them, or anybody else would believe a
word of it. Going home from town
alone, 1 got to thinking the matter over
and concluded that Bob gave me credit
for being monumental fslsifier, and if
am to be judged by that story, Iguesa
he is right.

Is There an African in the Hemp
PileP

PileP
Farmers are interested in the price of
hemp because it enters largely into the
manufacture of binding Irvine. Here
is statement from L. j. Powell, q
Hong Kong business man who is now
in Washington: "The surprising in
activity OF the U. S. War Department
in the matter of opening the hemp
ports in the Philippines is hard to
understand. With the price OF hemp
more than 400 per cent above the
normal, and the whole supply in the
hands of few wealthy spectators
holding on for still greater advance,
1t will be hard year for the wheat
growers and shipping men. American
farmers use 5000 600 worth of binder
Irvine each harvest, and if the bill
should be swollen to two OF three times
that figure no doubt there will be some
lively kicking from them. 1t is openly
charged in the East that some of the
military authorities in the Philippines
are on the friendliest terms with the
spectators who have cornered the
market, and are representing that to
open the ports and ship out hemp
would put money in the insurgents
pockets. This is absolutely a false
statement, for all the hemp now stored
at blockaded ports is owned by Ameri-
can and English merchants. There are
no insurgents in the vicinity of many
of the closed harbors, yet the military
authorities refuse to let reputable mer
chants remove their property"

Newburgh, N. Y, Jan. S.-The Rev.
DR.. Edward McGlynn, rector of st.
Mary's church, this city, famous for
years as n co-worlser in New York with
Henry George in the "anti-poverty"
and single tax crusade, is dead. AL
though conscious of the day probably
being his last on earth, his heart was
still in his work as a priest, and his
anxiety for the interests of the parish
was shown in the questions he put to
the assistant priests concerning the
services they held during the day.
DR.. McGlynn took severe chill
Tuesday, Nov. 81. The preceding
Sunday he was in apparent good
health, and oiiiciated as usual in his
church. The crisis of this sickness
came on Thanksgiving day, when he
seemed to realize that the end was not
far off, and he requested last sacra-
ments, which were administered by his
faithful assistant, Father O'Connell.
He rallied, however, and gradual i'm
provement In his condition was daily
perceptible until within the last three
or four days. when his attendants no.
ticed a gradual wanting of vitality.
His malady was threefold, Bright's
disease, an abscess Of long standing
on the inside of his right leg, and
heart failure,

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead In this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec.
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphRtically q good
thing, and nd fatmer III this county
should fail to- take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A

Help the Cause.

There has never been political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power Of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed with the victory Of three years ago
it will seek by every means in Its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By q
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.
The Chicago Dispatch is Endorsed by
William Jennings Bryan and other
democratic leaders.
