Last night Governor Carter enter

failed to invite Treasurer Kepoikai,
who did not belong to his "ofllcial fa-

ness, brutishness and ungentlemanly
conduct very much lacking that refine
ment which goes to make one gentle
man. 1t clearly showed that he still
harbored an i'll feeling against the only
Hawaiian who had the courage to with
stand his peevish onslaught to get him
to resign an office to which he had been
called, thereby sacrificing his own
(private and personaD interests for the
public veal, for doing which he has
been abused and vilified by those who
pretend to befriend him.

The Fire Claims Act was passed by
the Home Rule Legislature of 1901, and
on April 30, the Commissioners under
that Act were appointed and confirm
ed by the Senate during the last hours
of the night ending that session. The
Commissioners received pay at the rate
of $40 per diem each, etc, and that was
not considered as grating in compari-
son to the graftings enacted during
those few months of the scare and up
on the consequences of the January
Goth conflagration and other plague
fires instituted by the Board of Health
they were to adjudicate awards which
they did without much assistance from
the Government that caused such un-
told heavy results.

But that looting of the Treasury sur.
plus in 1900 was not grating. oh, no;
it was plain robbery. Why. so? Be-
cause whites mere mainly the grating
beneficiaries, and Hawaiians, hardly
any at all. Many lived high at public
expense during those days. Now in
the instance OF the last Legislature,
when Hawaiians were mainly the bene-
ficiaries, with q white sprinkling Of
friends, it is then called graft for do
ing legitimate work and for services
rendered" The two instances are diff
ferent; in the first one, mostly white
people were concerned, and in the lat
ter case, mostly Hawaiians. Our pur-
lists saw no graft in the first instance,
but sees one in the last.

1t is just similar to what we said
the other day. The Federal grand jury

TAE PLAGUE GRAFT.

The first plague scare was made
known on December 70, 1899; and If
we mistake not, the quarantine of the "
North and West portion of the city, d
within the bounds of Nuuanu Avenue, u
Kukui and River streets and the Wa u
terfront, was raised on the oath, the
day before Christmas. The second and
long quarantine was placed at mid
night of the 9th following, which con-
tinued till finally raised on April 30,
1900. And for over four months, the
amount of grating done amounted to
something like $SOO,OOO, and added to =
this the total of the awards made by y
the Fire Claims Commission about ST.
100000, making total of $2,S0O,000, -
more or less, which cost this country
for those few months of scare in which
time the Government lost it's head
particularly the Board of Health and
the medical men who were in its pay.
OF the then known surplus in the c
Treasury, when Minister Damon left t
Office, amounting to about $1,250,OOO, a
over 100000 was recklessly sQuander o
ed among white grafters. Very few 81

ary venom.

Kalo daro) when not properly cook
ed is unpalatable and uneatable, be-
cause of the sting it gives to ones
tongue. All varieties of this nutritl-
GUS vegetable food is alike in that
connection. But there is one variety,
known as "ape" (a-pe-not ape), the
large leafed kind used as an ornamen-
tai plant in many of our city gardens,
which no amount of cooking can modi-
fly its stinging (maneo) qualities. This
difference is noted by Hawaiians and
applied by them to those who are in
bad blood among themselves, similar in
contrast to one eating something pala-
table and the other something unpal-
atable, like one eating turkey and the
other eating crow Hawaiians would
say of one with nasty temperament
as eating the ape (ai ka ape), while
the other ate the taro (ai / Ike kalo).
We are making this explanation for
the sake of comparison only in the
attitude .of two public men, Kepoikai
and Carter. Kepoikai is living on taro
while the other is feeding himself on
ape, being SYNONYMOUS to eating turkey

But we venture to state that Kepoi-
kai is not losing any sleep over it. He
is living on taro and Carter on ape.
The brisk handshaking on inaugural
day is all farce. We now see that
there was no sincerity in such an epi-
sode, which we at the time thought was
the forerunner of patching up of all
differences and of burying the hatchet.
Carter's uncouth and ungentlemanly
conduct is uncalled for, showing where
in he lacks the breeding that go to
make a great man of him. Hawaiians
can show him how to be courteous, but
being impolitic, he fails to make
friends with those whom he intends
to cover to his cranky behavior.

VIII Not Ston Work.

The historical committee OF the
Confederate Veterans Association an
nounce that the decision of the su.
preme court annulling the bill max
ing an appropriation for its use will
not put stop TO the work. In the
war department at Washington there
are four thousand rosters and frag-
ments of rosters of Arkansas Confed
crate military organizations. and un-
til these are copied, or at least in
spected, the work must come to a
complete stop for the reason that the
historical committee would without
doubt duplicate its work. The com
mittee intends to collect the frag.
mentary records now existing in this
state by letters to and interviews
with the owners of them. Their time
and money will be limited and they
do not care TO collect at a great ex.
pense of energy and money a number
of records, only to find that they are
already on file in the archives of the
war department. The desire of the
historical committee now is to have
the governor designate officially some
one to inspect and, if necessary copy
these records, so that the work can
proceed AS soon as the records are
inspected the work Of collecting those
which are missing will be taken up.

viii Borrow Money.

Among the most important meas
ures passed by the last legislature af-
fected by the recent decision of the
supreme court is the deaf mute appro-
priation bill the branch normal ap-
preparation bill and the ST.
Francis lCyee bond bill, auth
orizing the issuance of 100000
in bonds, There is no possibility of
the deaf-mute institute being closed
because the appropriation fell under
the decision Of the supreme court.
The method which will be pursued
will be to borrow money from time
to time, as it is necessary for the
conduct Of the institution and the
payment Of all bills incurred by it.
