Brazil had a jubilation last Satur.
day over the Inauguration of new
President. Many foreign notables
were present, including officers OIL
the United States battleship Iowa
and of the British, Portuguese,
French and Argentine warships,
Brazil elects president once in four
years and the president is ineligible
to a second term. Brazil is an ire
versible republic. For time after
the revolution that disposed of the
monarchy there was some fear that
the monarchists would make trouble,
but that time is past. The govern
ment is encouraging education and
the people are making progress
along this line in the establishment
of common schools. The worst
feature of Brazilian political econo-
my is the illiteracy of the people.
With population of nearly 10000
900 only 100000 children attend
school.

The total tax levy of the state for
this year is $2,851,6 81.57. But ow-
ing to the act of the Legislature in
providing that the fiscal year of the
state shall end June 80, instead of
Sept. 80, the special charges for the
charitable and penal institutions is
for nine months instead of full year.
IF it were not for this change the
tax levy this year would be fully
100000 more than it was last year,
when it was $2,8o5,639.97. Of this
tax to be levied this year, $2o4, $685.
88 is for loans from the school fund
to towns, cities and villages, and
$128,oa5.17 is for loans to school
districts. The balance is for COM
mon schools, normal schools, state
university and state debt.
Pierce county's tax this year is
$2I,24I.o8 as against $22,478.55 last
year. St. Croix's state tax this year is
S21,o62.68; last year it was S22,-
38I.84. In some counties the state
tax is largely increased this year
in others it is much less. Barron
county pays nearly $1,000 more than
last year; Dane more than $4,000
more; Iowa $1,000 more; Waupaca
$4,000 more. Milwaukee pays $751;
600 less than last year; Eau Claire
$4,000 less; Douglas $500 less:
while Pierce does not pay as much
as last year by $I,287, and St. Crolx
pays $4Io less than last year. In II
counties the tax is less than last year
in so counties either about the same
as last year or higher. The reason
that the taxes are higher in some
than last year (above what would
be sufficient to account for the diff.
ference in the higher taxes this year
over last) is due in some cases to q
higher assessment and in others to
the fact that these counties are pay
ing back borrowed money.

Mrs. Webster, Prohibition candi-
date for school superintendent in
St. Croix county, received more
votes than any other candidate on
the Prohibition ticket. Her vote was
3I4, while some of the candidates
for county offices on the Prohibition
ticket received as few as 16I. AS
the woman vote all went to the can
didates for state superintendent OF
public instruction we can estimate
pretty accurately the number of
women who voted in St. Croix
county. Cary's vote was 2,427.
The candidate for railroad commits
sioner on the same ticket received
2,4o6. This would seem to prove
that but Fl women voted for Cary.
Mathie received 1877 votes for state
superintendent and the railroad COM
missioner on the same tlCKet received
1894, showing that only 3 women
voted for Mathie. Collins, the Pro
hibition candidate for state superin-
tendent, had 246 votes and the can
didate for railroad commissioner on
that ticket received l58, indicating
that SO women voted this ticket
Adding together the numbers vot-
ing for each of the three candidates
for state superintendent, 8, and
88-there were II2 women votes in
St. Croix county, and nearly all o.
these were in the cities and villages

To outsiders the senatorial muddle
in Delaware seems a childish affair.
Delaware has for sometime been
without representation in the United
States Senate, and the result of the
recent election does not favor an
early settlement of the foolish
squabble. Addicks has a sufficient
following to block the selection of
United States Senators unless he
shall be one of the two men elected.
We don't know Addicks except by
reputation and that reputation isn't
to his credit, but we assume that his
ambition overshadows his patriotism

such an action has been sane
toned by the Federal authorities.
Upon information gained, we find that
it is most correct without saying aught
otherwise. From inquiry, we find that
the employees of that department pc
titioned their chief for extra pay and
for a raise, but only the whites were
privately, so we have
it, and the young Hawaiians ignored.
Why is this partiality shown?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-10-14

Only one reason can be inferred,
the others are white men, the chief of
the department here being white
man also, an American and probably a
Republican, and the others are of the
despised Hawaiians, and we are given
to understand that they are capable
and efficient officers of the Federal
authorities. Another inference may
be taken; it is probably wanted to
weed out Hawaiians from that depart
ment in order to replace with white
men suitable and to the liking of the
Collector of Customs.

IN VERY BAD TASTE.

We think that it sounds in bad taste
for the Republican princely candidate
to toot his own horn in what he did
towards assisting some of the people
of his own race who suffered during
the plague epidemic and who were
made homeless by the supposed and
alleged health conflagration of Janu-
airy 20, 1900. 1t Is in bad form for him
to say it for himself and it is some
thing that Hawaiians don't like to hear
thrown up to them. He should leave
such a matter for others to voice and
air on his behalf rather than for him
self to do it for himself of his own vo-
lition and on his own part

you will be ignored. When few, who

ed as these are, what else can the ma
jority of Republican HawaiIans expect
to receive from such a crowd? They
have no use whatever for you other
than to get your votes TO support them
