Grave Charges Made by Correspond
ent Of the New York Tribune.
From Newspaperaom. New York CITY.
Corruption. such as Is prevalent
throughout the Hawaiian Islands, dis
seminated from Honolulu. must result
IN violence and bioodshed Nearly ev-
cry newspaper published in the islands
is subsidized by corporation and. un-
der the protection OF the ostentatious
patronage OF the subsidizer. is able TO
levy blackmail with immunity. Some
of the least corrupt newspapers con-
fine themselves to political Iibels as
source of revenue. but others know no
limits to their appetite for dishonor-
able gain
Domestic scandals are the favorite
means of livelihood among these news
papers Many families have been
ruined financially in their efforts to
prevent the publication OF facts which
endanger their social standing and
others have been socially ruined by
exposure in the columns of papers
which they were unable to satisfy pc
cuniarily. Prominent families have
been compelled to fee from the isl
ands and take up residence in the
United States in order to avoid infa-
my at home.
AS a rule the newspapers
are conducted by men whose
practices in America have forced
them to leave. These men are
therefore well prepared to carry on
their hideous trades as soon as they
arrive in Honolulu. Indeed, they as
certain the conditions in the Hawaii
an Islands before they leave America,
1t is true that circumstances have in
a measure forced the newspapers 70
| shameful practices. No Legitimate
newspaper could flourish in the isl
ands. for the reason that the circula-
ton of the various sheets is confined
to 1000 white men and the advertising
columns must be filed for less than a
| dozen firms. Under the conditions
the newspaper must diverge from the
usual poicy. They must not gather
news for the sake of the public, but
for the sake of those interested They
| therefore announce marriages for the
purpose of preventing them. publish
obsequies in order to terrify the be-
| reaved and give accounts of social
| events in order to mortify the enter
tainers. In order to understand this
it may be necessary to know that of
twenty-four marriages of prominent
persons announced to take place dur
ing the past year nineteen were brok-
en- of owing to accounts published in
the newspapers concerning the prin-
cipals, and four shooting ARRAYS re-
suited in which editors or reporters
were shot OF six prominent persons
who died FIVE were traduced, and of
three fashionable social events that
took place in Honolulu two were de-
scribed in the papers as feasts of
Phryne.
Prosecutions for criminal libel in
the Hawaiis would be ridiculous as
well as useless. as every newspaper
has powerful protector. Steamship
companies which regularly land pas
senges on the islands in violation of
American law. sugar companies which
avoid duties and railroad companies
employing contract laborers find 1t to
their interest to inteFfere in behalf of
! journalistic malefactors.

is known, for he is an enthusiastic
sportsman. Immediately on his arrival
at his old home in Marshalltown party
of old friends accompanied him to Lost

week of shooting. Following such an
adventures Mr. Mcfarland said he
deemed 1t unkind to be requested for an
interview. but the newspaper instinct in
the man rose to the test and he permit

said:

Two years in that mother of nations Is
briefer than the tabled cycle of Cathay.
The first week thought knew some

that knew nothing. About the first

AS the city council last year spent

for the general fund, and as 1T doesn't
look we'll in print, as DIR. Harris put it,
TO have O showing made that the city
is spending that much more than orli-
larily, the present council has given its
apportionment boost to a point equiv
alent to last years expenditures. The

unless Retrencher Atkinson is able to
acale down the school estimates. which
have not been definitely fixed, taxes
promise to go sky high. There is no re-

was taken at an adjourned meeting on

We're embodied in an ordinance and
adopted under suspension of the rules.
1t Is on these apportionments ard app
propriatons that the county auditor
Eases the tax levy, and as the appor-
tionment exceeds that of last year by
Sl3,490, therefore an increase in the
levy is unavoidable unless the county
end school portions are reduced. whichis
rot probable as there is a prospect that
the school levy will exceed that of last
year. The council spent two hours on
Monday night in the consideration of the
city revenues and expenditures. The
following figures showing the appropri-
ations of last year and the expenditures
were taken as a basis the appropria-
tons last year having been based on the
expenditures of 1899:

THE FIRE. water. sewer and bond funds
are to receive the revenues from the
county tax and fromrentals. which Were
deemed sufficient. While several thou
sand dollars more We're spent In 1900 by
the streets department. of the city than
ever before and some of the council in.
sisted on uttng this apportionmsnt
Gown, it was pointed out that the streets
we're never in worse condition than at

reeded. II was also argued that this
GEAR the revenues from the saloons Will
be needed to complete the sewage dis
posal plant and therefore can not be
drawn upon to make up deficiencies in
other funds. The police appropriation
was increased slightly because it is the
present plan to add one man to the
force.
AT the meeting Mr.. Mcclure. OF the
judiciary committee. reported that the
work of going thru the city clerks
books and checking no the delinquent
water consumers for The past two
years had been completed and report
formulated, but the report had been
mislaid. He said the delinquencies
amounted to something over $1,000 In
1899 and something over $4,000 in 1900

of opening set of new books for the

comprehensive account and making
thorough collections came up, and sew

ter motion was presented by MI.
Benson to the effect that an assistant
to the city clerk be employed temporar-
lily, inasmuch as the council was Insist
Ing on a different system of bookkeep-
ing and was placing more work on the
clerk. He wanted the assistant to work
under the supervision of the clerk, the
mayor and the water committee. and
said that II the assistance was not
forthcoming the city would lose much
more in water rentals than the salary
would amount TO. Mr.. Kreutzer said
the devil himself couldn't get at the
water books. which remark caused Mr..
Kirby to ask how they expected to inn
prove them by the employment Of an
assistant, when one had been employed
during the past three years. Mr.. Was

said an assistant Is needed. Finally 1t
was agreed tc employ an assistant at s45
per month. and Mr.. Henry Gregg was
nominated for the position by Mr.. Fish

ably had some one else for the job
wanted the selection left to the water
committee. and this was done by vote
OF five to three, Messrs. Fisher. Kirby
and WATSON voting against giving the
committee the privilege OF naming the
assistant. 1t is probable new canvass
OF the city will be made for the purpose
OF determining where water services
