one TRUE BILL
ON CITY DEAL
The Grand Jury Has Begun Turn
ing Out Municipal In
dictments.
First Formal Accusation Believed
to Be Based on Hose
Deal.
Judge Ponds Charge Expected to
Settle Differences Among
Grand Jurors.

One indictment has been returned
as a result of the grand jury's investi-
cation OF city council affairs.
Until an arrest is made, it will not
be announced officially who the de-
PENDANT Is and what offense is
charged.
Alderman Fred M. Powers reap
pearance as a grand jury witness yes
terday is significant. Last summer
Alderman Powers publicly charged
that improper influences were operat-
ing in the competition over fire hose
contracts.
These charges were received by the
council in way that put. Powers on
his mettle. Nothing came Of them at
that time.
The principal cause Of talk at the
time of the contract letting was the
attitude of certain aldermen toward
the Live Oak hose represented by
Henry r. Brown, who is now in the
east.
If an indictment has been based on
any deal in connection with this trans
the true bill is for, an alderman. No
arrest was made to-day.
A case Of this kind would enable the
state to introduce both Alderman Pow
| ers and Former Alderman Sutherland
as witnesses, thus providing the state
with some COrrODOratlVe testimony.
Grand Jury Factions.
This question of corroborative evil
dence has been something of stickler
| to grand jurors. Former Alderman
Sutherland having told the inside de-
| tails of many crooked deals put thru
the last council and other witnesses
seeming, from Judge Ponds state
ment, to- have "stood pat some of
the grand jurors have been opposed to
proceeding. The courts charge of yes
terday may tend to clarity the situa-
ton in this regard, but a petition for
a new foreman has been under consid-
Grafton by one wing of the grand jury.
This condition does not disturb Fore
man c. A. Quist, apparently, for he
has the approval of the court in his
course and full authority for going
4 ahead. It was reported to-day that
the charge of Judge Pond was shaped
In part at least at a conference OF

RESURRECYED.

Senate Bill 20, which was uncere-
moniously rejected by the House
last Saturday, was resurrected last
afternoon, on motion to reconsider
the vote taken, made by Repre-
sentative Long, and that without
the assistance of Representative Ku-
malae, who was absent and excused
therefore on account of sickness.
Tlis is the measure to repeal the
stamp duty on stocks of corpora.
tions, which is being held that il 80
repealed, would place many Of our
local sugar corporation stocks on
Mainland markets aud cause the
bringing OF money into the country.
We are given to understand that
bscause of the present stamp duty
law, Mainland buyers do not care
very much to invest 10 Hawaiian
sugar securities, the stamps upon
them being considered an imposition
and q hardship. And we further
understand the reconsideration was
brought about at the request OF
those directly interested in this line
of business, and that the Senate do
something in return for the Lopg-
McCandless bill rejected previously
in the upper body, which was the
first measure rejected aud the first
discourteous movement begun this
session, and the House only retail
ated in like rejsctiou. This latter
understanding was such, 80 'tis said,
as to revive and resurrect House Bill
81, similar to Senate Bill %, the
consideration OF both of which were
poned for thirty-6ve days, on motion
OF Senator Cecil Brown, wherein the
minority in any corporation will be
given a charcs to have a voice in it's
affairs. Now, let's sss But its
strange proceedings, yet su III is one
of the legislative and political ways

CITIZENS BY CBQICB.

Al the Irish banquet on st Pat
rick's Day, the 17th instant, Judge
Estee, in response TO the toast for
the President OF the United States,
said, among his many remarks. that
Irismen made good American citi-
zens, and that the best citizens were
those who have become 80 by choice.
Taking that to be really 30, that is,
those who have become such ''by
CHOICE" holding the learned judge
down to his own words, then what
kind OF citizens will the Hawaiians
be, who have not become American
citizens by choice, but rather they
have become, such unwillingly by
absorption, subjection, subjugation,
suppression, force and oppression.
therefore, IN such case, We cannot
nor can be expected to become good
American citizens, because we can
not be 30 soon aud 30 easily satisfied
as others are who may readily apply
themselves to become such soy
CHOICE" and not unwillingly by
force of circumstances as we have
been and are 80 to this day. On
such an authority as the judge is, We
are not good enough American citi-
zens nor can we ever be 80 to him
and to his way of thinking.

preventative Harris said that he

said that he could appeal to the

said that he would rather ask an

Labor unionl,m in 0reenvlIIe.

Labor unionism is growing in this
city of Greenville. AS the city ex-
pands in territory, and grows more
important as trade and manufactur-
ing center. it is only to be expected
that the different trades band them
selves into unions for their own pro-
lection and keep up with the march
of progress.
Trade unions are a benefit not only
to the laborer, but to the whole COM
munity. The laboring element Is
generally found on the side of pro-
gress and reform and when vital. ques-
tions come before a community these
unions organized into one body in
what is known as a Union Trades
Council, they hold the balance Of
power, and become al important fac
tor in deciding questions of great mo-
ment in national and local affairs.
While unionism sets a scale Of wages
perhaps higher than il paid nonunion
laboiers, the work done by the union
laborer is generally better executed
and therefore more satisfactory to the
employer. Unionism protects the
employer as we'll as the employ ee.
These are but few benefits derived
from unionism, ana NO one can reas-
onsbly dispute the assertion,that any
step taken toward unionism is not an
advance step in the progress of. any
community.
At present Greenville has plumb
ers. bricklayers, harness makers,
printers and bar tenders unions. The
bar tenders union has been Organized
but a short while but is in flourish
ing condition. AS the city progresses
more unions in the. different branches
of trades will appear, a Union Trades
Council will be organized, which will
take an active part in the develop
ment Of the city.

He is a strong advocate of the nation
al control of the Mississippi river
levee system.
Senator Depew advises that he is
in hearty sympathy with the objects
and aims of the convention.
United States Senator NJ. S. Quay,
of Pennsylvania, writes Mr.. Luce: i
am in entire sympathy with the pro-
iect, and will be glad to do whatever
can in its behalf. "
These are samples of more than
five hundred letters from leading men
throughout the country, now in pos
session of Mr.. Luce.
The governors of at least fifteen
States will attend while the presi-
dents and chairmen. as we'll as other
members of all the Levee Boards, Riv-
er Improvement Associations. and
many of the Boards of Trades. Cham
hers of Commerce, and similar bodies
in the Mississippi valley have advised
the executive committee Of their in
r@ntion to come.
The object Of the executive COM
mittee has been to secure the atten-
dance of the heads of all these bodies,
as we'll as the heads of all the big
railroad systems in the Mississi ppi
valley, and in shis marked success has
been attained.
Thus the convention will be pIobab-
ly the most representative body ever
held in the Mississippi valley, if not
in the entire country.
The object of the Interstate Mis-
sissippi River improvement and Levee
Association in calling this conven-
tion was to bring prominently before
the congress of the United States and
the people of the country the vast
good which would result were the
oysrnment to assume control of and
complete the Mississippi river levee
system, for thereby would be reclaimed
and brought @into cultivation more
han 10000, 900 acres of the richest
land ON the American continent. No
land reclamation plan on such an inn
mense scale has ever before been at
tempted-the English reclaimed only

the Nile; the Dutch dikes reclaimed
only a,sO0, 900 acres, while the Zuyder
Zee dixie will reclaim less than 500, :
900 acres. That the 20, 900, 900, acres Of
now annually overiowed lands along
the lower Mississippi valley can, with
comparative ease be reclaimed by the
government is fully apparent from
the reports Of every engineering in
vestigation ever made. Government
levees do not break, and in order to
reclaim all this vast area, now large
ly impenetrables swamps, it would
only be necessary for the government
to bring up to it's standard of con-
struction all State and private levees
and to complete the line. The larger
portion Of the work has alread., been
done.
At the convention next Tuesday
the matter Of government control and
appropriations will be discussed
