1t is Of doubtful propriety to sell
whole editions of Hawaiian stamps to
spectators in advance of the passage
of the Territorial bill. Stamps are
supplied the Postoffice for the con-
venience of the public, not to enable
some collector to gobble them up for
the sake of cornering the market. We
trust there will be no more wholesale
deliveries until the time is just at hand
or has passed for the substitution of
American postage.

saved His Discount.

OF one of the earliest donors of Chlca-
go university's endowment, Professor
Albion W. Small, who was the guest of
honor at an alumni dinner in New
York the other night, told this story:
The man made a large subscription
payable in installments His business
instincts were strong, and after DELHI
Grating over the matter he went to the
trustees and asked if he paid the full
amount of his subscription would he
be allowed the usual discount for
cash Though they grasped at the
suggestion, the trustees replied that il
he chose to discount his subscription
he might do so. The man at once
drew his check for the amount less the
discount and took a receipt in full"

The Independent invites the natives
to avoid the Republican party because
Republicans annexed the Islands and
then proceeds to extol the leading
Democratic organizer here because he
is the father of annexation" The
spectacle of the natives following so
stanch an expansionist as DIR. McGrew
to get even with other expansionists
would be one of the most remarkable
in the history of local politics.

County government may be formed
by the Hawaiian Territorial Legisla-
ture. Municipal government must also
look to that body for it's charters. On
these accounts the need of electing the
ablest and safest men in the Islands to
legislative posts is very clear.

Congressman Payne Declares Them the
Most Efficient In the World.
New York, Dec. 6-Congressmau
Serene E. Payne. chairman of the ways
and means committee, who is spending
Christmas at his home in Auburn says:
Zone of the gratifying things to the
experienced observer of national affairs
is the growing efficiency of our consular
service. A few years ago the service
was rather inefficient and consular
post was looked upon as berth for a
politician who wanted an easy job. OF
late years all this has been changed.
"Our consuls now are probably the
most efficient in the world. Their re-
ports on conditions and manufactures
abroad are in many instances models of
comprehensive intelligence Of the sort
that is needed by our manufacturers.
One of the best testimonials to their ex-
cellence is the criticism in the leading
countries OF Europe that our consuls tell
too much about the secrets of foreign
manufacturers. This is particularly
true in Germany, where the German
press Is quite wrought up about the
cleverness of many of our consuls in
getting hold of the inside facts"

case Governor Allen of Puerto Rico rep.
resented the United States in preferring
the claim, that government was obliged
to deny its liability, or the liability Of
Cuba under present conditions The
answer to the German presentation will
be based upon the reply to Governor
Allen, recently made.
1t is known that other governments
besides Germany have claims aggregAt-
ing very large sum. all based on the
