The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-09-26

Owing to the affair of the money the
Bulletin, long a conspicuous organ of
the municipal idea, changes Its views
as follows;
The Bulletin is free to confess that
the developments of the last twenty
four hours, in connection with the
guardianship of public funds have been
such as to shake its confidence in the
advisability of branching out upon any
new form of government. This may be
an extreme view of the situation, but
at all events the men who are to frame
and enact the county and municipal
government laws, have before them all
too serious proof of the extreme care
that must be taken to safeguard every
possible avenue by which a public trust
may be betrayed.
The Advertiser Is glad to see the Bull
letin coming around to a reasonable
view of this matter, put it appears to be
too late for the party to retrace its
footsteps 1t has pIeuged itself to city
and county government The only thing
to do. therefore, is to see that the bills
when they pass, are made as unattrac-
tive as possible to thieves.

NO GUILTY MAN WILL ESCAPE.

There Is no need to call upon the Ter
ritoriaI authorities to ''let the whole
truth out" They are doing it as fast
as the truth develops. Had they chosen
to cover anything up, doubtless they
would have had the cheerful acquies-
cence of the culprits; but as soon
as they found where matters stood
they took summary action. The Wrlsht
of the Public Works Department was
sent to jail ana the one of the Treas
ury, called to account, became tugi-
five from Justice. Another official has
been suspended. II there are any
Others implicated, the public may be
sure that no effort will be spared to
bring them to book.
One thing that is requisite Is change
in the laws in the direction of COM
plete system of bonding. 1t astonished
most of our people to learn that the
Treasurer of Hawaii gives no bonu.
That he ought to is the merest truism
But 1t is not customary in the United
States for the heads of Federal depart
ments to give bonds and the Treasurer
of Hawaii, having succeeded to the du-
ties of the head of the Treasury depart
ment under the republic, who had the
same immunities as the Secretary OF
the Treasury of the United States, was
left In the enjoyment of former prerog-
atives. Congress might have changed
tAis system in the terms of the Organic
Act but it did not choose to do so; and
as for a Home Rule Legislature it
could not be induced, if it had the pow
er, to pass single law, making access
to the Treasury difficult.
!. Relief must come, if at all, from Con-
gress. What is needed is for that body
to take our system of organic law and
remodel it in the interests of good ~ov-
ernment. There are plenty of places
where it needs repair; but it cannot be
done at home as political conditions
stand in the Legislature.

HENDERSON IS
OUT OF POLITICS

DUBUQUE DAD, Sept. 16.-SpeakeI
Henderson, finding that his views in
opposition to the treatment of trusts by
reducing the tariff in whole or in part
not in accord with the views of many
of his party in Iowa, today declined to
accept the nomination for Congress and
has withdrawn from the race.
| Speaker Henderson has addressed the
following letter to C. E. Albrook OF
Eldora, Ia. chairman of the notification
COMMITTEE:
My dear sir: have never answered
the kind notice communicated by you
and your associates advising me of my
nomination for the eleventh time by
reclamation as Republican candidate
for Congress from the Third Congress
sional district of Iowa. Reported con-
ditions in the public mind in my district
upon public policies induced me to take
this delay. Since my return to the dis
trict l have made a careful study as
/ to the sentiment in the district and
State, and I believe that there is no
little sentiment, and a growing one,
among Republicans that 1 do not truly
represent their views on the tariff
question.
Believing this condition to exist, and
knowing that do not agree with many
of my people that the trusts, to which
1 am and have been opposed, can be
cured for the people benefited by free
trade in whole or in part, must decline
to accept the nomination so graciously
and enthusiastically made I have de-
voted twenty of the best years of my
life to my people and for my country,
and have fought for what 1 believed
best for the farmer, the laborer and the
business interests of this district and
State. I am grateful for the devotion
that has ever been accorded me, and
to the hour of my death will hold in a
grateful heart the memory of that de-
votion. I will later on give in some de-
tail my views and convictions on our
condition and on public questions, and
state my reasons why the Republican
party and policies should continue in
the confidence of the voters of the
United States, and why the doctrines of
Democracy should find no Judgment in
the faith and teachings of the Repub-
lican party. Truly yours,
ID. B. HENDERSON,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE dis
patch announcing Speaker Henderson's
declination of the congressional nomi-
nation caused a sensation in Washing
ton. Public men acknowledge that
there is a demand in sections of the
West and Northwest for revision of
the tariff along certain lines, notably
in the cases of articles whose manufac-
ture is controlled by the trusts. Their
opinion is that General Henderson's de-
cision will make this issue more acute,
and it is suggested that the President
is comforting at this time with leading
Senators from the East and West, pre-
sumably on the very question which
has forced General Henderson out of
line with his party IN Iowa.

Senator Burton states that the Asso-

is erroneous. 1t was Senator Mason,

STORY OF THE REAL
BURNS OF GETTYSBURG
How the Aged Man Fought
and Was Wounded.

| In an official report of the battle OF
Gettysburg, General Doubleday says
My thanks are especially due to citi-
zen of Gettysburg named John Burns
| who although over seventy years of age
shouldered his musket and offered his
services to Colonel Wister, One Hun
! dred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volun-
teers.
Colonel Wister advised him to fight
In the woods, as there was more shelter
there; but he preferred to join our line
of skirmishers in the open field. When
our troops retired he fought with the
Iron Brigade
The following story of John Burns
| comes from war correspondent who
spent some time on the battlefield Of
Gettysburg.
"In the town of Gettysburg live an old
couple by the name of Burns. The old
man was In the war of 1872, and is now
nearly seventy years of age. yet the

his patriotism, nor diminished his love

his early days. When the enemy in
vaded the beautiful Cumberland Valley
and was marching on Gettysburg, old
Burns concluded that it was for every
loyal man, young or old, to be up and
doing all in his power to beat back the
foe. The old hero took down an old
State musket that he had in the house
and commenced running bullets. The
old lady saw what he was about and
wanted to know what in the world he
was going to do. 'Ah,' said Burns, I
thought some of the boys might want
the old gun, and am getting 1t ready
for them. The enemy came on. Old
Burns kept his eye on the lookout until
he saws the Stars and Stripes coming
in, carried by our brave boys. This was
more than the old man could stand. His
patriotism got the better of his age and
infirmities. Grabbing his musket, he
started out. The old lady hallooed to
him: Burns, where are you going"
Oh said Burns. I am going out to see
what is going on He Immediately went
to a Wisconsin regiment and asked
them if they would take him in. They
told him that they would and gave him
three rousing cheers. The old musket
was soon thrown aside and first-rate
rifle, with twenty-five rounds of ammu-
milton, given him.
