YHE HATCH MISSION.

There is a great deal of kid business
in this discussion of the mission of
Mr.. Hatch to Washington, as well as
in the beginning and progress of the
mission. 1t is matter that will have
to be handled with gloves, or the busi-
ness is certain to be misunderstood and
there will be rebound that will hurt
the country in many ways.

Because certain of the Ellises went
into Attorney Breckons Office to ask
for legal opinion with respect to their
suit against their old grand-uncle Sum.
ner, an opinion which he didn't give,
he brought suit for a claim of $3.50 in
cur District Court and got judgment
for the full amount Isn't that clear
case of graft? But we consider it worse
than graft Mr.. Breckons should dis
gorge some of his ill.gotten fees, and
may be, perquisites.
The Independent., 1903-12-08

To refer the matter to Congress will
be to bring about two things 1t will
prevent the going into effect of the
County Act in January, and may defer
it indefinitely for the reason that Con-
gress already has its hands full with
Panama, internal and other matters
and has no time to give to small and
inconsequential incidentals of this sort.
1t would, be damaging, in the second
place, for the reason that it would Gre
ate an impression that we are not able
here to intelligently pass our laws and
to conduct our own affairs. There
would, upon the presentation of any
such request, enter the minds of Con-
gressmen the suspicion that our poll
tical machinery here was kindergar-
ten affair, and the thought would with
out doubt suggest itself that the best
thing to do would be TO take over ev-
cry part of Hawaiian government bus
mess, and manage it as is done in the
District of Columbia and the District
OF Alaska. The tendency would cer-
tainly be in the direction of depriving
us of what little independence we now
have, inasmuch as it would shatter
confidence in our ability to go it alone.

up went over and was not determined
until after the election. At this late
day, after every chance for thoroughly
threshing out the matter in the SUI
preme Court, before the law goes into
effect, has passed, and without cause,
the same crowd comes in and points
out defects in it.
The Independent., 1903-12-08

The time for the Supreme Court to
consider the County Act was last Sum-
mer, as we repeatedly pointed out and
Urged. If there were defects in it
they should have been pointed out
and established at the time the case
in regard to the Board of Public In
stitutions was before the court. In
case that the law, or any part or parts
of 1t, had been declared in conflict
with the provisions of the Organic
Act, there would have been ample time
or q special session of The Legisla-
ture for the purpose of amending the
Act, and all questions in relation to
the law would have been settled before

The object of this crowd is plain
They do not want county government
and are willing to do anything to de-
feat it. If they were in favor of county
government they could easily have had
every clause of the Act threshed out
by the Supreme court three months
ago and every part of it settled. They
won in the effort to have a considera-
tion of the case put off until after the
election, and are now working to either
defeat or postpone the operation of the
law.

1t is a bad scheme to run to Con-

local interests, and with business that
we are capable of handling ourselves.
IN our Organic Act the Government
conceded to us extraordinary powers
that is to say, more power and great
Ell privileges than are granted to other
territories. In doing so the Congress
expected this territory to stand alone
and look out for itself in every matter
not involving foreign or Federal inter-

Can't Touch Him.

Previous to recent prize fight held
at Virginia City Gov. Van SAINT tele-
phoned the mayor not TO permit 1t to
be pulled Off. The governor said he
would also instruct the sheriff Of the
county to the same effect, but was as
ssured by the mayor that 1t was not
necessary, and that he would see to 1t
that it was prevented. The governor
followed the mayors advice, and his
hands now seem to be tied. The at
9torney general on Investigating the
powers of the governor in removing
officials finds that although the gov
ernor can remove any county official
for neglect OF duty, against the mayor
of a city the governor is powerless.
Virginia IS incorporated under the
general law, and it is questionable II
there is any manner in which he can
be impeached.
The. governor could remove the
sheriff Of the county, but the sheriff
can very we'll plead ignorance Of the
fight; that he had no information of
it or instructions from the governor,
and that it was the. duty of the police
of Virginia and not himself to inter

Eighty-Fourth Anniversary.

The eighty-fourth anniversary of
Odd Fellowship was held in the
Methodist Episcopal church last Sun
day at $50 p. M. The service began
with a song by twenty girls of the
Junior league Of the M. E. church
The music for the occasion was all
furnished by the Junior Epworth
league, and they did splendidly. The
scripture lesson was read by Rev.
Bloomfield of the Baptist church, and
prayer was offered by Rev. Higgins
of the Presbyterian church. The ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. U. A.
Foster, pastor of the NJ. E. church
and chaplain of the Odd Fellow lodge
of this city. His subject was the
motto of Odd Fellowship Friend
ship, Love and Truth. = To say that
all who failed to attend this service
missed treat is mild statement.
The address was scholarly, thought
full and eloquent; in fact it was a
masterful effort on the part of Brother
Foster, who was at his best, and the
impression made and the lesson
taught by the address should have
been heard by the entire population
of the city, and will ever be remem.
bered by those who had the pleasure
of listening to them. Brother Foster
has had some faithful experiences in
the principles of Odd Fellowship and
knows how best to express them.

yesterday morning at about 2:30 in the

of which was in the drying shed, ard
