ONLY S6,OOO,OOO !?

Nothing much is wanted for the De-
partment of Public Works, only $4,000,
900. This may seem to be an insig-
nificant sum to ask, in these days OF
our Americanization, and OF big steals,
by Secretary, now Superintendent,
Cooper 1t is all for the Department,
which he bosses and has personal
charge of, and is said to be for propos-
ed improvements; it looks very well on

public, being in accord with a report
made by him to the Governor, evident

To our conception, we deem the ex-
cessive recommendation made most
strange, coming as it does at this time.
when the country is in such financial
stringency that the community is la
boring heavily under the suppression
of coin. We cannot, for the time be-
ing, understand why these recommen-
dations are made, unless it be. as we
surmise them to be. for the sake of
having the opportunity of controlling
large funds. when there is nothing in
sight to begin any improvements with.
1t seems preposterous to us, hoping
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-02-12

When in days gone by if anything
approaching such a request was made,
a howl would have soon followed its
announcement from those now in pow
er, who were then the loyal oppos-
tion,' at one time headed by our pres
ent Governor But today, what do we
see? Not a stir nor a murmur, all is
serenely quiescent as stagnant pool
of water, fit only as breeding place
for Dr. Sloggett's multitudinous
friends, the mosquitoes.
With only one department of the
Government making such an eXorbi-
tant demand, the wants of the other
departments would be cast entirely In
the shade, and then where will the
country be? Bankruptcy and to the
'demnition bow-wows," for who cares
where it will lead to- This is eXtrava-
gance paramount, which in our palmi-
est days was never even dreamt of, not
until Mr.. Cooper became chief execu-
toner, who is said to be an alleged
friend to the Hawaiians, dating from
when and to where, we know not
| To us, this seems to be an attempt
TO live beyond ones means, and get
into debt This should not be and
ought not to be allowed nor permitted,
for it surely leads to downfal like
many others, individuals and corpora
tions alike. Let the Legislature be
guarded against aiding such an unwar-
ranted SLOW of extravaganza.

that the Legislature will carefully look
into the respective propositions asked
before granting them.

Years ago, when under the monarch
ical rule and all the succeeding ones,
and previous to annexation, the coun-
try had more money, but no one was
foolish enough to request as much as
has been now officially recommended.
We then had the incomes from the
Custom House and the Postoffice, and
still no one dared to request as much
for his own single department. The
figures may be only fictitious, yet
there they stand as monuments to the
in influence with his chief, but we hope
that he has not the same influence with
those who have the legal right to un-
loosen the purse-strings of our ex-
chequer, knowing not the source from
whence to meet the desired expendit
ures. Our main avenues of income
have been taken away from us, and we
are left with barely sufiiciency to run
our Territory.

This Horse Knew,

A doctor was returning home from
visiting a patient late one night in
company with a clergyman, when the
horse stopped short at one of the most
dangerous grade crossings within the
city's limits. Absorbed in lively con-
versation with his clerical friend and
seeing no gate down, he mechanically
touched the horse with the whip and
urged it by his voice to go forward.
But the spirited animal for once would
not respond and instead of obeying
stepped briskly aside and turned his
head as far as possible from the train
which just then whizzed by at the rate
of forty miles an hour.
1t was close call for the occupants
of the carriage, who sat breathless
through the moments of terrible sus
pense, but the horse maintained its
attitude of half circle until the dan
ger had passed. 1t seems the gate
keeper was asleep at his post and had
neglected his duty, but the delicate
ears of the horse had detected the
sound of the coming train.-Boston

DANGER IN SODA SIPHONS.
They May Explode and Cause Injury
to Those who May Be Near.

They May Explode and Cause Injury
to Those who May he Near.
Do you know that the siphon bottle
ordinarily used for vichy. soda water
and other effervescent drinks is usually
charged with Il pressure OF from 120 20
100 pounds to the square inch? The
danger likely to result from an explo.
sion of one Of these little household ar
ticles is by no means inconsiderable,
and yet the average person handles a
siphon as though it were the most
harmless thing in the world.
There are two or three things to re-
member in handling siphons: Never
keep your siphons near the range, for
the unusual heat is more likely than
anything else to cause an explosion.
Don't subject the bottle to any sudden
change of temperature whatever For
instance, if you keep your siphons in
the ice boX-and that is the best and
safest place for them-don't grasp the
glass part of the bottle with your warm
hand, for the sudden change of temper,
allure is apt to cause an explosion. The
best way to carry q siphon at all times
is by the metal top at the head of the
bottle. 1t is needless to say the great
est care should be taken not to drop Il
siphon, for an explosion is the inev-
liable result. When empty, the siphon
is, of course, quite harmless.
That these bottles are considered =
great source of dangeEis evidenced by
the fact that the courts inevitably hold
the bottlers strictly liable for all dam
ages resulting from the explosion Of
one of them if even the slightest defect
hfthe manufacture of the bottle can
be shown.-Washing Times.

CAN'T LAND TROOPS.
United States Tightens Strings on
Colombia,

SOlOTlpid.
Washington, Nov 10-Embarking OF
Colombian troops from Buena Ventura
or any other Colombian port, for the
isthmus will not be permitted by the
Washington government, and Ameri-
can warships will be oroered to any
port upon receipt of an intimation that
Colombian troops will attempt to sail
for the isthmus. The Washington gov
eminent holds that this policy is in
the interest of the general good.
Reports were current last night to
the effect that an effort was being
made whereby negotiations for Pan
anna canal treaty might yet be re-
sumed with Colombia, Notwithstanding
the detection of the department OF
Panama and the establishment
of an independent government there.
These had as their basis the res
toration by the United States Of
the status quo on the isthmus as af-
fairs existed ten days ago, following
which Colombia would Immediately
take up the question of canal treaty
with a view to a speedy ratification OF
such a convention.
1t was said that unofficial represen-
tations of this tenor had come from
an outside nation, which is vitality in
terested in the question, and that an
official of the state department had
been approached on the subject.

PickwfclSs In Livery.

The dignity of some fat coachmen
in New York is very impressive. Their
development Is outlined distinctly by
their coats. They have swelled steadily
and persjsttelfly yea. -l,ttag year, and
every" now and then the coatS Si.tSe.
peen let out and the buttons moved to
increasing inches Of
girth. A coachman's figure has great
deal to do with 10 success. The at
tempts of fat men to lock lean some
times verge on the humorous. They
hold their heads high to escape the
imputation Of obesity and puff out their
chests heroically. But with all their
hauteur, pomposity and pretentious
bearing they look only like very fat
men in tight clothes, reminiscent Of
Pickwick in livery.-New York Press.

ALMOST MoBBED BRIDE.
Women Raised Hob at GoeIet.Rox'
burqhe Wedding.


New York, Nov. 1.-THE marriage
of Miss May Goelet, only daughter of
Mrs. Ogden Goelet and one of the rich
est of American heiresses, to Henry
John Innes-Ker, eighth duke OF Rox-
burghe, was solemnized Tuesday at
st. Thomas church in this city, Bishop
William Croswell Doane Of Albany
assisted by the Rev. Ernest M. Stires
Of ST. Thomas church, performing the
ceremony.
Before the service began several
hundred women gained entrance to the
church and seated themselves in the
galleries, from which they were forcl-
bly, dislodged by squad of police
few minutes before the arrival CT the
bride.
When the carriage reached the can
Spy leading from the curb to the
church the crowd of women banked up
twenty-five feet deep on either side,
rushed frantically forward, carrying
the solid lines of policemen with them,
and for a moment choked the entrance.
A group of half dozen women
stopped down and lifted the canvas
of the canopy leading to the street
and crawled under it. Several Of them
managed to keep their heads under
the canvas until the bride had passed
up A patrolman caught one very well
dressed woman by one Of her ankles
and dragged her along the walk, she
still clinging to the canvas, until she
was forced to loose her hold. She was
lifted up smiling and satisfied. She
had seen the bride.
