Pray, what is an emergeucya The
Stand srd Dictionary gives it as "s
sudden or unexpected occurrence or
condition calling for immediate act
ior; perp!exing and pressing CON,

ing parry is n ne o.her than the
Deputy Auditor Meyer.

When the first notice OF emoezzle-
m snt was made public last Septem
Der, the books OF the Public Works
Department, as far as known, had
been passed upon and the books OF
accounts virtuslly audited by this
now discovered to be negligent off
fetal. We hold, that. after the
auditing of tho books, the respop-
sibilty of the tllicial accountant
ceased, and thereafter they devolved
upon the auditing officer. The
former Auditor had been suspended,
which suspe sion finally bacame
removal.

TOPICS OF THE DAT.

The House this morning retaliat-
ed on the Senate by Rejecting one
OF its bills (No 71) sent down. 1t
gave it very ecant courtesy, allow.
ing it to only pass frst reading, by

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-03-20

The Deputy took personal oath
to all the charges made against the
two Wrights and Colonel Boyd, and
in the failure OF the production OF
facts in those alleged smbszz' ers and
defaulters escaped; still, there must
be some responsibility somewhere,
aud that somewhere is in theAuditing
Department Of the Government. No
amount Of whitswashing can posi-
BILE efface or hide it. The Auditors
Department attempts to be strict to
the letter ard deputy Meyers has
always posed as Variable martinez
in matters, yet he has failed in his
duty, to the public aad to his
position.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-03-20

Feeling as we do, we cannot for
moment believe that anyone could
be attending to his duty as an
auditing fficer, il he fails ia one
most important point, and that is
the counting Of the cash 80 as to
check even with the books. We
understand that that was just what
was not nor has even been done by
the auditing party. The auditing
officer merely checked the books,
but never once counted the cash to
see whether it allied. In the mat
ter of the Chlueee Fund. aud
we understand that when that fund
was transferred, it was counted and
passed upon by the Auditors Ds-
partment, bu! since that time, it
has not been counted. Yet, this
is not the point we are aiming at
but 10 the alleged defalcations In
the Public Works Department, why
was not more care taken? 1t is uG-
derstood that the Deputy Audi, or
was the cAicer who audited the
books and passed upon them, with
ell the many d screpancies, and
therefore, believing it 50 we con

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1903.
MYERS A HlS'IT.

We think the Kumalae resolution
OF want Of confidence in Deputy
Auditor Meyers was most timely,
and the course adopted by the
House to refer to special com nit
tee for investigation, so that the Of,
fetal complained OF may be given
chance to be heard in his own de-
feuse, most proper. No unfair
m cans should be taken OF any cfiicsr
in this EN- mploy o! the Government to
destroy his character and reputation,
but opportunity should be granted
him for explanation, aud, If possible,
to clear himself OF all aud any error
We b lieve ia fairplay and
just dealing., which was 5ot at all
followed by the Senate in extra Ses-
sion and, what the Senate then did,
mains today blot upon the Govern
msnt's integrity and slur and in
ainuatiou against the honesty OF
certain OF officials, since eXonerated
by jary of the country. 1t was
not only slur and an insult, but it
fristed odlum upon tn ,se cleared
parties, by and innuendo,
which we deem wrong done by
the Territory to those off .ias, who
ware unfortuna.e enough to fall
under the displea 'ure OF certain
parties for personal aggrandisement.

neglect and remissness whereby mis-
appropriation OF moneys wac made
possible through this existing gross
carslessness. This should never have
