When the Senatorial Commission was
here on its investigation tour, it was
the Chairman of the Fire Claims Com
mission who arranged a hearing be-
fore it, the majority of the members
being present. Could that hearing
have been held had the Commission adj
journed sine die? Nay, nay, it never
could have been, for it could not have
come together again, after such an
adjournment had been taken, as an Of
fetal body and competent to deal with
the subject. Besides, the foregoing
fact, there have been many matters of
detail where it was necessary to con-
suit with its chairman, which work
could not have been accomplished if it
was not still in existence.

But why give those Band concerts
at the Fishmarlet? There must be
some special reason for giving them
now. We have wondered and wonder
ed, and we believe we have hit upon a
right solution, and that is the Legisla-
ture is near and another appropriation
is wanted, to run during the coming BIZ
ennial period. Have we not hit the
nail right on the head? Is it not this
the special cause for the giving OF
these concerts, discarding, pro tenn,
old Emma Square? We think so; but
say-yes! There's the rub" Eooma,

Had the Commission adjourned the
clerk could not have been called upon
to impart any information as he has
been doing all along. And not only
that, even the issuance of certificates
of awards, after judgments had been
rendered, could never have been under
taken nor accomplished, the RESPONSE
bility of which work solely rests upon
the Commission.

Although it was Sunday and the oc-
casion was one when chief of a de-
partment could do himself and his men
proud by appearing well-dressed, yet
the showing made, yesterday, at the
police inspection, by the new little"
Attorney General was, to say the least,
lamentable. Both the High Sheriff and
his deputies put their chief to shame
by comparison; in fact, not a single
go per month officer but showed bet
ter form on the official occasion.

The Commission, even now, could
stand up the Territorial officials, if it
had mind TO, but the members there
of are not built that way. They are
as eager to see this whole matter set
tied for good and for all time. We
will here impart certain information
that. had it not been for the urgent re-
quest of those in authority and of the
business community, the Commission
would have adjourned sine die long
ago, and then where would our officials

And now as to the cablegrams. Mr..
Pratt cables the Governor for certain
authority to arrange the bonds, and
he is replied to. Then the Federal Of
ficials cable the Governor, and Dole
and Carter rend replies, and so on ad

slightest reference to the Commission
as body. These acts are matter of
surprise to us and we fail to under
stand the reason why the Commission
should have been so treated.

The concerts now being given by the

have been highly appreciated by the
masses who attend there. Some of

Why IGNORED !?

We wish TO say a word with regard
TO the existence of the Fire Claims
: Commission. We stated the other day
that it was being ignored by those in
authority, since the bill appropriating
81 900 900 towards the payment OF fire
claims awards went into effect; and
not only that, but that in reference 10
100000 loan at 4 per cent interest.
Since entering our humble complaint,
other cable messages have passed to
and fro, and still the Commission stand
as an unnoticed body. And why? We
cannot for a moment understand the
reason and the causes for the slight.
1t is a well-known fact that the work
for which the Commission was created
is ended, that is, after the judgments
mad Deen MADE ana fecoIueu. Even
so, it is still in existence as an official
body, for from the beginning of its
organization in May. 1901 it kept min
utes of its proceedings, and that record
is yet incomplete, it not having wound
up its affairs. Only the other day, it
was called together to consult on some
matter of business Yet the Commits

mess, but it is ready at any time to do
active service for the people, if called

Washington, Oct. 3.-The bureau
OF labor will soon issue the results OF
an exhaustive study OF the increased
cost OF living during the last few
years, in relation to the increase of

has been striking similarity between
the advance in wages and the in
creased cost Of living and that Meth

report that commodities have ad-
vanced p per cent is shown to be
