We think the Legislature should
consult with any man who calls him

find ont whether he has any intention
to call an extra session which we
will call Revenue session. If he
says mo then let the Legislature

Collector Sims Explains.

kapaa, May %, 1901.
Editor of the Independent:
In the publication of the Hawaiian
Gazette of the 24th instant, there ap-
peared an article that reflected on
the actions of the Chinese Registra-
ton Bureau of Kauai, wherein they
were charged with eXtorting o fee Cf
$500 to register a Chinese resident
OF these islands.
wish to state that my deputies
and myself have been residents of
these islands for good many years
and ] do not care to have any per-
son think that the erratic publication
Of the malihini newspapermen OF The
Hawaiian Gazette, that such work has
been carried on in this manner.
If these people were more familiar
with the islands, perhaps they would
know what they were talking about.
l would thank the Gazette Co., TO
consult with the Collector of Internal
Revenue, Mr. Roy II. Chamberlain,
and probably they will be better in
formed.
do not hesitate to say that every
Chinaman has been given the op-
POI tunity to register on this island
and will state that the Bureau has
the good will of all the Chinese res
idents. Respectfully,
j. M. Sims,
Deputy Col. Int Revenue in charga

The proposition of Judge Humph-
reys' paper to reduce the appropr!a-
| ton for the police department is
simply idiotic. We have in this Ter
ritory very different population from
that of the States and Territories To
which reference is made in The Re
publican. Our population is called
peaceful and is described as living
most idyllic life where no policemal
need show his star blow his whistle
or use his club but confine hiinsclf
simply to sleep at street corners or
in the shades of bread fruit trees a.
far as the other islands are concern
cd Conditions existed here some
years ago where strong police force
was not needed That was before
the sharper, the carpet-bagger the
professional rogue, the pick-pockets
the unruly negroes and the semi-civil-
lied Porto Ricans arrived. Now tho

islature for liberal expenditure for
the preservation Df our homes, pro
perty and persons. If INC Legislature
should chose TO reduce the arproNra-
tion asked for by the government for
the police force, we feel sure that
trouble will fall on the shoulders Cf
those foolish members who open the
doors to the criminal and the t.amp
and virtually say come into our Ter
ritory you need not be afraid hero,
We have crippled the police for to

GREAT MEN MET.

8, 1t will, of course, never leak out
what transpired in the executive ses-
sion of the Legislature, at which
Representative Beckley reported in
detail his interview with President
Mckinney in san Francisco. The
INDEPENDENT with its usual enter
prise (for so cents per month) had
provided for a dickey bird to be
present at the interview, and for a
carrier pigeon, which arrived this
morning with the report.
The bird" has evidently gone in
to the dramatic business, and de-
scribes the meeting in.th following
peculiar manner:

and surrounded by secretaries and
pronpters. Before him delegation
from Kalamazoo with a petition for
the removal of the pound master,
and near the sideboard a number of
members of the bar, asking for the
removal OF all Judges who don't
toady to the learned gentlemen or
drink higl-balls. The Presndent
looks weary, and uses small pieces
of matches to prevent his eyelids
from closing. He learned the trick

cided 10 quit the retail dry goods bQsi.

thing at cost as promised TO do, and
sold piles Of goods, bat On account Of
beginning the sale 60 late I was IN
able 70 close out ny entire stock before
the season was oyer and as a conse-
quence had 10 continue through the
spring and summer.
an still determined 10 quit the re-
tail business and off9r my entire stock
Of dry goods, clothing, shoes, hats,
and gents furnishing goods at cost for
cash.
I have begun this sale this season IN
tine 70 close out, and this I am going
70 do. I hope to sell everything be-
fore Jan. 1st, az want to engage in
other business at that time.
have never fooled my friends or
the public, and an not doing so now,
and while did not quit business last
season it was not my fault, but I did
give the trade goods at cost as prom
ised, az my customers will attest. Ny
stock consists mostly of new goods
bought this season, as thought it
easier to sell the stock with new goods
than without.
You can get just anything you want
