THE LEGISLATURES AND Re-
TRENCHMENT.

The principal task of the Legis-
lature which meets in a few weeks
will be to make both ends meet.
The revenues of the country have
been materially curtailed since it
became Territory, and it will be
necessary to make many retrench-
ments in the running expenses Of
the Territory il there is to be a
cent left for improvements, public
works, etc.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1901-02-01

Every unnecessary appropriation
must be stricken out and the great
machinery used in running the Off

1t will be necessary to place the
territorial government on the plan
OF a large corporation or business

army of officials whose work should
be and can be done with one half
OF the number now employed.

The expenses Of the Board OF
Health are excessive as are those of
the Survey Department and other
bureaus. The Board of Health used
to get along with secretary and an
Office boy, while now the paid staff
is legion. No appropriation should
be granted to the Survey Depart
ment until a committee has care
fully examined the work of the de-
partment during the past 80 years.
If the Territory hasn't been sur
veyed during that period, let US
give up the business as a bad job
and leave surveying to be done by
private surveyors when the work is
needed.

Ii some of our great sugar barons
can spare some money they could
make themselves the truest bene-
factors of this city by establishing a
public bath. We are living here in
a hot country, surrounded by the
ocean, and yet we haven't suitable
place where people can go daily to
enjoy dip in the fresh salt water
The expense would not be very
great. A site could be obtained near
the city and water pumped in from
the ocean. With the wealth OF
Honolulu and the facilities which
nature offers, thsre is no excuse why
we should not boast OF first class
modern bath. The city government
would undoubtedly be willing to
subsidies such an institution at least
until it could be placed on a paying
basis.A public bath with swimming
tanks, Roman, Turkish and hot
water baths is what Honolulu needs
and our millioDaires might remem-

KING WASHINGTON.

The historical romance, "King Washington" will be presented at Polfs Friday and Saturday, with q A Saturday matinee. There are many Interesting historical incidents in the piece and specially attractive is the refusal of George Washington to be made king at the desire of his off, cers and soldiers. One of the most in- feresfing historical localities in the inn mediate vicinity of Newburgh. N. Y, is the Danskamanes (dance-chamber) where Indians, for centuries, 1t Is sup posed, conducted their weird sacred dances. In 1TS2 this custom was al- lowed to be resumed for once. and it became an occasion that was used by Tories living near Newburgh to enlist the assistance of Indians in a scheme to kidnap Washington, then at New burgh. The scenes attending this dance, which occurred at night around a camp fire, furnish a striking and re- allstic feature of the colonial drama, ssKfng Washington" The company Is large one, including such we'll known players as Maude Granger, Eleanor Carey. Gertrude Perry, Charles Kent and others. The sale of seats opens tomorrow.

Discnses in Lead Pencils.

The doctors are constantly adding to the terrors of life by discovering sources of disease in common things and general practices. Lead pencils are the latest subject for .condemna- tion, or rather the method of using lead pencils in schools. There have been outbreaks of skin and other ail- ments in number of schools lately which have puzzled the doctors, and the school medical inspectors, after considerable inquiry, now assert that the school pencils are to blame. The practice, it appears, is that pencils are provided for the whole school, and are collected at the end of each day and redistributed next morning. In this way a single pencil makes a tour of the class, and is sucked in turn by most of the children. The moral of the discovery is ''One child, one pencil"

Bicycling in Cola Weather.

When riding in cold weather the fingers of cycler are frequently all most benumbed, by the cold. Warm mittens or thick gloves lessen the suffering slightly, but the effect is un- gainly, to say the least of it. If, how ever, pair of moderately thick gloves be treated with vaseline, the cold does not penetrate, neither does the hand become deadened by the cold The way to do this is to first turn the glove inside out. After warming it slightly by the fire, a little pure vaseline should be well rubbed in with the finger un- til the skin has taken up as much as possible. A little warmth will cause the grease to sink in completely, and after that it is ready for wear. The color is naturally darkened, but the hands will not be stained or greased in the slightest, provided these direc- tions have been carried out. Quite as important is the fact that the blood will be induced to circulate freely, and chilly fingers will become thing of the past.-Golden Days.
