An uprising of the taxpayers in favor
of municipal government might be in
ferred from the headlines of a contem-
pOrary, but the text, as usual, does not
bear that impression out. OF the peo-
pie quoted, David Dayton is only in
favoraof a city system if there is money
enough in sight to pay for it. Capt.
c.. ]. Campbell thinks it would be
great mistake to ask the next Legisla-
ture for a charter. H. M. Dow says
the time is not yet ripe Naturally
enough Charley Creighton wants any
kind of a new deal which may down
the missionary or. as he says, destroy
centralized power" We are not in
formed of the amount of taxes paid by
Charley but he evidently doesn't care
IL they are increased an hundred per
cent, which is quite public-spirited of
him. j. M. Kaneakua opposes munich
pal rule on the ground taken by Dele
gate Wilcox and Judge Kaulukou,
namely that the poor people, owning a
small patch of property, would get the
worst of it. DR. McGrew, as might be
expected, is willing to have taxes raised
if it will only prevent "a concentra-
ton of the affairs of the Government
in the hands of the few-a state of af-
fairs that we have had for many a long
year. That is to say, DIR. McGrew does
not particularly care if he has to put
up something extra and if everybody
else has to, providing the authority of
the men he does not personally like is
leSsened. Willie Crawford, the imita-
ton Chinaman, Johnnie Wilson and
Harry Evans feel the same way. All
this can hardly be called an uprising
of the taxpayers, seeing how carefully
the representatives of millions on the
one hand and of hundreds on the other
are left out; and how much stress is
laid on the opinions of those who mere
ly want a charter for vague purposes of
revenge.

The Holiday number of the Paradise
of the Pacific is surprise. Nothing
firer in the typographical sense has
ever been brought cut in these Islands
and the literary contents are timely
and readable. There are forty-eight
pases between embossed covers and
ealth of half-tone Illustrations, the
panoramic views of the Pail and Homo
lulu harbor being especially noticeable.

Big, Burly Brltishers.

In the new British Cabinet the men,
from a physical point of view, are
splendid specimens of the race. Half
OF them are over six feet high and only
one could be called small. The latest
recruit, Mr.. Hamburg, is the tallest, but
Lord Balfour, of Burleigh, is a close
second. The Premier carries more
weight than any.

Here is real craftsmanship! The In
dependent assures Delegate Wilcox that
he need not fear for native land-hold-
ers under municipality, as land taxes
are not to be meddled with. Instead
we are to have the Single Tax, which,
as Henry George could have informed
the Independent, is tax on nothing
but land; or graduated income tax,
such, perhaps, as the Supreme Court
has pronounced unconstitutional and
which proved a failure during the Civil
War; or a special tax on sugar. which
of course, could not be levied for mu-
nicipal purposes on sugar produced
outside the city limits. Viewing these
brilliant suggestions; We do not hesi-
tate to nominate the Independent as
the official organ of the Home Rule
charter committee.

one OF the arguments for munich
panty Is that 1t would enable places
ike the Orpheum to run without a
trade license. In fact the tax-lifters
promise to lift licenses from about
everything except the saloons and to
reduce the cost of license among them.

The antf-canal lobby is playing a
deep game. One detachment of it is
trying to sidetrack the Nicaragua bill
and give the main track to the old
Panama project which, it thinks, will
be easy to switch off in turn. Another
detachment is engaged in working UP
sentiment against the amended Hay
Pauncefote treaty, the defeat of which
would leave the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
in full force and effect, thus renewing
an old obstacle to the progress of ca
nal legislation. The third detachment
is at work in Central America soaring
the little republics with the boyle of
American militarism intrenched in the
proposed canal forts and menacing the
liberties of the surrounding people. We
already hear that Central Americans
will band against the Nicaraguan
project; and we also hear that there
will be no canal legislation in this
Congress. Possibly both forecasts are
correct. 1t is no light thing even for
Congress to try and combat the power
of the railroads.

GRACE RECTORY ROBBED.
BURGLARS ENTER DR. HUNTINGTON'S
HOME AND STEAL. FAMILY SILVER
FROM THE SAFE.

Burglars entered the house Of the Rev. DR..
William r Huntington. rector Of Grace Church.
Broadway and Tenth-st.. early Yesterday
morning. and carried away quantity Of silver
ware, including spoons. forks. salt cellars and
other table silver. much of which had been in
the family many years. and was chiefly valuable
because OF the assOCie Ons. The burglars
entered the Grace House. which adjoins the
church on the north. ty the basement door. the
glass of which broken. that the lock
could be reached. and apparently went immedi-
ately to the safe in the dining room of the
rectory. where the silver was kept They must
have been familiar with the premises. as the
safe was opened with the key, which had been
hidden in the usual place wherf the silver was
put away the night before.
Evidently the burglars We're frightened away
although DR.. Huntington says that he knows or
no one having been up after he went to bed
shortly after midnight. When the maid went
downstairs in the morning to prepare the din
- .oon for brea kfast she found what left
of the silver scattered about the floor in front
of the safe and also jimmy candle and
box of matches, A hasty departure is shown
also by the fact that the silver left was much
more valuable than that taken. None of the
other rooms in the house were entered, and the
family. consisting of DR.. Huntington. his son
and sister-n-law, and four servants, were not
awakened.
Policeman Zuhr of the Mercer-st. station.
who was on duty in the neighbOrhOod of Grace
Church from midnight Wednesday until o o'clock

of the robbery until told of il at the station last
evening The watchmen az Wanamakers. the
St Denis Hotel and McCreerys store were also
ignorant Of the robbery. and all knowledge or
the crime was denied Police Headquarters
DIR. Huntington says that ne informed the
police of the Mercer-St. station early in the day
but at the station last night IL was said that no
robbery had been heard of there. There is ap-
parent reason to doubt this statement, however.
