PLAN A CEMETERY
AT DIAMOND HEAD

| Governor Dole and Superintendent Nc
Candless yesterday, went out beyond Dia-
mond Head with Messrs. Gilman, Ballen-
tyne and Thurston of the directorate of
the RAPID Transit Company for the pur-
pose of looking up site for a new ceme-
terry. If the present plans OF the Gov
eminent are carried out, public ceme-
tory will be located there and an electric
road will be built to connect 1t with the
city. d.; 40.
For some time 1t has been planned to
build some public cemetery outside of the
present limits Of the city. and various
plans for such place have been sug-
gested, while several corporations have
also considered the feasibility of con-
strrcting cemetery with private capital.
rhe Board of Health last spring passed
| a rule whereby 1t was decided to forbid
the burying of bodies within the limits of
the city, except on special permit This
rule was to go into effect on the first of
October. But until yesterday no active
i steps had been taken by the Government
| for the construction of such a place.
| The party which went out yesterday
looked over all of the available land on
the eastern slope of Diamond Head and
one tract of about 100 acres was found
that would be an excellent location for
the new cemetery. 1t lies midway of the
slope and is covered with growth of al
geroba trees. 1t Is accessible either by
the road through Kaimuki or around the
sea side of Diamond Head.
The Rapid Transit officials were re-
quested to accompany the Government Of
ficers so that they might consider the
plan of extending their lines to the pro-
posed site for the cemetery, for the place
| is at such distance from the city that
some means of reaching it besides by road
| are necessary.
While no definite steps were taken to-
visited, the Rapid Transit people will be
asked to submit suggestions for the pro-
posed road and IL they prove satisfactory
to the Government it Is likely that 1t will
be decided to locate the cemetery there
The Rapid Transit directorate will hold
n meeting within the next few days, at
which the matter will be decided upon
and then it, will be decided at the next
meeting following of the Governors
Icouncil.

THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

The Republican delegates to the Ter
ritoriai convention deserve the APP
proval OF their fellow citizens. They
have nominated for Delegate in Con-
gress the man who can command more
votes than any other Republican in
Hawaii. Furthermore they have elect
ed q representative Central Committee,
and as strong an executive committee
as could be asked for. All their work
lis well done
The Oahu delegates at the conven-
tons held last night also nominated
strong tickets.
Probably every man In town can in
i've minutes construct a ticket which
will suit himself better than that offer
ed by any party convention, but It
must be remembered that party con-
sists Of many trades, professions, ma
tionalites and prejudices, which are
entitled to be heard. The Republican
ticket is necessarily composite but vt is
clean, honest and OF more than average
ability. The ticket was chosen after
much internal friction and all whom
the respective factions wanted are not
on it, largely because there are not
places enough to go around. The ret
result, howeverris ticket In which tho
different elements OF the party are Civ
en- fair representation by men unob-
jectionable to the other sides. 1t is
a ticket which every fair minded oiti
zen can conscientiously work and vote
for, with the knowledge that he Is not
promoting a private machine. The once
conflicting sections of the party can
and will ignore their previous differ
ences, and work heartily in support of
the nominees as a whole.
With three tickets in the field the
Republicans have no walk-over, but
they have such a good fighting chance
that the situation should and will call
out all the working talent in the party.
There is no cause for sulking and there
will be none, nor any half-hearted
work. When all the Republicans in
Honolulu move together, the momen-
tum is tremendous. The outlook for
success is better than at any time since
the campaign opened. Patience, good
nature and hard work will win.

POLITICS AND PROSPERITY.

The financial program of the indie
pendent party would, II carried out,
probably increase taxes in these ISL
ands five-fold. One of the planks OF
the platform commits the party to the
setting aside of an appropriation to
pay the Chinatown fire claims. The
amount is not stated but the claims
aggregate s2,5OO,OOO and in return for
financial aid given by the Chinese in
this campaign, the Independent leaders
have agreed, as we learn on high au-
thority, to put through, in any Legis-
lature they may control, bill of total
indemnity.
The Independent party also proposes
to pay the 1895 claims. I'VE are pledg-
ed" says the platform, ito earnest
and unceasing effort to secure for all
those persons imprisoned by the mar
tial law rule of 1895 and by sentence of
the military commission of 1895, such
financial remuneration as is their just
due" 1t is perfectly reasonable to
think, from the size of the claims al
ready filed-which do not, we believe,
include the Queen's-that another ST.
100000 would be demanded and that an
anti-haole Legislature would be per-
fectly willing to include such sum in
the tax levy.
If Hawaii would have to pay out
more money for the luxury of an indie
pendent party Legislature 1t would also
have less money to pay with. We need
outside capital. Men have been spend
ing months on the Mainland trying to
get it; but they can make no Roadway
for two reasons: One Is that capital
will not go into anything at all until 1t
is sure of McKinley's election: the other
is that 1t will not come here even in
Mckinley times If there is danger of an
eNtravagant Legislature with strength
enough to overcome the Governors
veto. Good government at Washington
would not save capital invested here
from the effects of bad government at
Honolulu. There must be absolute con-
fidence in local values to command
even the use of local capital and what
confidence can be created by Wilcox
and his throng of hungry taX>eaters
who, among themselves, talk of the
good time coming when they can cinch
the haole? r..,
The prosperity OF Hawaii rests upon
the election OF good men to the Legis-
lature, men of the kind who ask Re-
publican suffrages in this canvass. 1t
is not a mere matter of politics; II Is
a matter of cold business and should
be dealt with as such.

CUBA FOR INDEPENDENCE.

HAVANA, Sept. 19.-The results Of
the elections of delegates to the forth
coming constitutional convention are
being freely discussed by the Havana
delegates and other prominent Cubans.
The conclusion reached Is that the con-
vention will be controlled by the revo-
lutionary element.
In the main the delegates are capable
men. Most of them, 1t is said are in
favor of immediate and absolute indie
pendence, without the intervention of a
protectorate.
The defeated Republicans and Fusion
lists here have raised a cry of fraud,
and have already held mass meeting
to protest against Illegal practices,

his party extraordinary proposals. be-
ing more than willing to sacrifice their
principles and the majority of their

was Prince David. We cannot believe
that the high-minded element in the

Cuba has voted for independence and
will probably get a chance from the
next Congress to enjoy 1t. Investment
capital has been going there to some
extent owing to faith In the continu-
ance OF American occupation, but as
soon as Cuba becomes free" foreign
money will doubtless avoid the place.
There can be but one outcome OF gov
ernment by the revolutionary party and
that Is an alienation of turbulent poll
ties and actual warfare. BY the COM

Chamberlain wants to have behind the
movement for imperial federation. The
Queen Is in sympathy with the lingo

great imperialistic sentiment. Canada's

Mr.. Damon does not say he is Il Dem
ocrat and 1t is hardly probable that he
agrees with any of the principles of
that party. AS conservative banker
he must be in favor of the gold stand
ard; as one of the original members of
the Annexation cabinet he can hardly
be set down as an opponent of expan-
sion. For good reasons that we
need not state he could not denounce
trusts without blushing. We can mere
ly assume, therefore, that Mr., Damon
has loaned his name without interest
to the Democracy and has refused to
subscribe to the Kansas City platform.

The Cuban revolutionary party has
won the elections and demands inde-
pendence. These people comprise the
negroes and lower-class whites who
made the three year war on sugar plan
tations and Spanish plckets. Property
owners and other responsible people
want an American protectorate or out
right annexation but they are so few,
numerically, that they are not likely to
make much of an impression on Con-
gress. which, in view of the Philippine
imbroglio, Is indisposed to seek SINH
lar row In the West Indies.
