$50 far the threatened invasion OF
indignant citizens at tho Public
Works Department because of the
notice OF the annual sewer charges
has not materializsd. Probably
some OF the alleged kickers took
time to read over the conditions
under " hich they were allowed to
connect with the public saver. Ons
section Of the contract which each
property owner signed, reads as
followa: sand l further agree to
pay such rates annually for the use
of the sewer as may be fixed"
Does the intelligent and brilliant
statesman, who runs the Public
Works Department, mean to say,
that, il the people decline to pay
the sewerage rates, the connections
with the main sewer will be cut off,
If he, from his easy chair, can do 20,
we will respectfully ask, why the
sewer was ever laid at a great ex-
pense to the Territory. We thought
it was sanitary measure, but
never bslieYed for moment that i t
was financial enterprise OF the
government. We advise every
property owner to refuge to pay
sewer rates, aud wa defy the Super
intendent of Public Works to cut
of connections with the main sewer
and jsopardize the sanitary coadi-
tions OF the city. The connections
were paid for by taxpayers, the
sewer was built with the taxpayers
money, end a government, which il

1t is always a pleasure to recog-
nize the good work of good citi-
zen. AT the Catholic Fair on
Saturday, Colonel Will E. Fisher,
the brilliant estate man offered his
services free, gratis etc. az an
auctioneer for the benefit OF the
noble object, for which athe Fair
was held. His offer was accepted
with gratitude, and say, didn't he
make things hum and get 'stesn
dollars out of our pockets. Colonel
Fisher told story aud then the
fellow laughing paid ten dollars for
o four bits cushion. Colonel Fisher
laughed and the lady TO the left
paid four dollars for toy she could
have got down town for one dollar.
The colonel looked serious, spoke
about hard timee, taxes and the
war in most pathetic manner and
got two dollars for two bits doll.
Joking apart, we ara glad that we
have among us bright brilliant
and truly good citizen, like Will E.
Fisher, to whom no second appeal
is ever needed when the call is "for

The irrigation proposition OF Col.
Samuel Parker should be heartily
endorsed by every man in the Terri
tory. We do not refer to the island
of Hawaii, but to the whole group,
because the development OF agricul-
tural enterprises means money in
circulation and prosperity all round
We opposed the granting OF license
for the exclusive use of the Kohsla
mountain waters to the Jones syndi.
cate, because we took it to be fake
scheme, none of the promoters
having bean to put into the enter
prise. The people at largo supports
theParker proposition which is genu
inc business and not bluff. That
Mr., Parker and his able assistant
Mr.. McCrossen will succeed in OBJ
tanning the necessary concessions.
for their great irrigation plan is the
wish of all who have the welfare OF
Hawaii.nei at heart. Mr.. Dole,
easily persuaded, of weak miEd and
regardless of any honorable feeling
threw Mr.. Parker down, and would
have granted his own combination
a license, which would have been
disastrous to the interests of the
Parkers. The message came from
Washington, frustrating his dirty
game, just in time to call him down
With the message came McCrossen,
and he is no spring chicken here

be maintained in glorious infamy as long
as its victims vote for 1t. century
ago. the American tariff system was a
bagatelle. There was then no vast cap
gressional committee and claim govern

was IAN infant industry" The older and
the more powerful the protected infants
have become. the more power they have
been able to command over the govern
ment at Washington, until the. Dingley
tariff of the present administration caps
the climax of the worlds history in the
direction of a high protective tariff for
the trust Colossus.
The success of the American manufac-
turer, miner, sugar refiner and oil pro-
Queer in gaining entrance to foreign

wares in every European, Asiatic and
Australian market, shows that the Amer

American butter. American cottons
should be able to command foreign trade
as we'll as American breadstuffs. AmerI-

American wheat. The protective pretext
is too thin a covering to cover the vast
limbs and trunk of the trust octopus,
and is too serious luxury to maintain
when American commerce and honest
and self-supporting American industry
are jeopardized by the retaliatory acts
which these trust tariffs are bringing
upon US.
