Professor Manley who took a dive into the PotO-
mac and plucked a few aurels of the brow Of
Darius Greene is not at all discouraged, however,
ct the failure OF the experiment The only difieul
ty Professor Maney explains was that the machine
failed TO balance. 'My confidence in the future Of
the machine" be says, is unshaken." The faith
Of Professor Maney is beautiful Most men would
have their ardOr somewhat cooled by taking a
plunge into the Potomac when they had expected to
soar over the capitol. Pulling himself out OF the
chilly waters where repose the remains Of the con-
tumacOus airship, he announces to the curious and
perhaps unsympathetic public that the only trouble
is In balancing. II it had only balanced il should
have done, Professor Manley would now perhaps be
sailing across the continent exciting the wonder
and amazement OF bis fellow citizens. AS It is he
must put up With the gbes and eers Of the irreVe-
rent whO in their untutored way have an idea that
q flying machine should fly.
Professor Manley's confidence, however is un-
saaken and just as soon as the machine can be dried
out and the little difficulty about balancing be re-
moved he is certain that the law Of graviaton will
be back number. Meanwhile Professor Langley
maintains dignifed silence. Like true scientist
he does not believe in prematurely rushing into
print. he shrinks FROM raising the hopes OF the
people too high only to have them dashed into the
waters Of the Potomac. Il s pleasing to nOte how
ever, that the confidence Of Professor Manley
remains unshaken.

NOTHING BUT TaE TRUTH.

Richard Harding Davis's account of

1893, which the Advertiser this morn
ing reproduced, is not "mangled," nor
has the popular author misrepresented
Hawaii one title, and that what he saw
through his spectacles (not "jaundiced"
as claimed) is "the truth, the whole
truth, land nothing but the truth"
His version Is subetantiated by pam
phlet published in 1897 by the propri-
etor of this paper, entitled Historical
Truths" which has never as yet been
denied nor refuted by any of the
revolutionary historians, prominent
amongst them being Prof. Alexander,
Rev. Serene e, Bishop, L. A. Thurston,
w. o. Smith, Judge Hartwell, W. r.
Castle and others Of that ilk. Copies
of that pamphlet are yet extant and

The Independent, during the last
Legislature, strongly opposed the items
of "incidentals" appearing in the vari-
Gus appropriation bills, because therein
laid the means of covering "a multi
tude Of sins" We are given to under
stand that various officials are having
paid their private hack rides for them
selves, their wives and their families,
and-instead of paying cash, orders are
given upon their clerks. The Legisla-
ture never, for one moment, intended
that such should be the case, after all
lowing these head officials liberal sal
aries. Here are cases that the Auditor
should not pass, but in the case of
Treasurer Kepoikai, Judge De Bolt held
that he must first seek the advice OF
the Attorney General before institute
ing any suit against another depart
ment of the Government, and therefore,
his requisition for attorneys retainer
and costs of filing the suit was refused
by the Auditor upon the advice of the
Attorney General. This seems funny
practice to our way of thinking, but
those hack fares and extra attorney
helps are allowed.

In the broad expanse of the Pacific.
Many were the tear-dimmed eyes from

claim: "The best fellow i ever met is
now gone never to meet or see him

tion of two or three more joints, as the
case might be. In many instances, as
they are now installed, when the sew
ors are not regularly flushed and the
foul gas finds its means of escaping,
any draft or light breeze would i'm
mediately send the same into the nos
trils of nearby residents. This is the
case along King street and other parts

that they should at once receive reme-
dial attention by Superintendent Hol-

1t is impossible to understand why
j w. Pratt, collector of taxes, allowed
$394,O00 to accumulate in his Office dur
ing the second week of November.
That is a big sum to be left lying
around outside of the treasury, par
ticularly as the treasury is almost
within stones throw of the tax
office. Mr.. Pratt is under bonds in the
sum of $4,000, and yet held in his
hands nearly 100000 of the peoples
money! We do not intimate for mo-
ment that he could have been tempted
to misuse the situation, but the prin-
ciple of the thing is wrong. He should
have deposited his receipts every morn
ing in the treasury, where they be-
longed.

The failure OF the Neill season here
was not, we think, due to an improper
appreciation of the company, but rath-
er to the fact that the visit was mop
perfume. Christmas time in Honolulu
is, as a rule, fraught with innumerable
programs, and the population is not
sufficient to stand for all that is going
on. There has been no lack of appre-
citation of Mr.. Neill and his entertain
ments, but the city has been unable
to spread it's patronage out over so wide
an area as has appeared before it in
the past few weeks.

Again we say that if Governor Carter
is honest in his purported policy of
reducing expenses he should start in
by cutting out the garbage department

The decline in the production of cot
ton, the immensely increased demand
and the unprecedented advance in
prices shtnld be of great interest to
Hawaii. In this Territory we have the
soil, the climate and can produce the
cotton demanded by the commercial
world in larger quantities per acre
and at less expense per bale than any
other country. The crop is less ex-
pensive than cane and is more certain
in its returns. 1t would be easily pos
sible to figure ahead for the succeeding
year the profits from cotton, while such
would be impossible in sugar. Cotton
just now is the most promising auxili.
airy industry that the Islands could
possibly take up.

no danger of war or of a siege. We

of any war or trouble in the Pacific

Knapp, the Ohio Murder Monster,
81 Will Enter the Plea Of
Insanity.

Hamilton, Ohio, Feb. 2S.--It is reported
about the jail to-day that Knapp, the
murderer is considering another confess
sion covering other crimes. Meanwhile
the officers are seeking all the infornla-
ton possible from him. 1t has been. de-
cided that his first trial will be here for
the murder Of his third wife, Hannah
Goddard.
Medical experts who have been with him
to-day pronounce him sane but abnormally
degenerate. Knapp seems to have no
dread of trial, but is apprehensive of
lynching or some sort of violence, and
those who watch him say that he is really
coward1y.
He has been assured time and again that
he is not to be. .lyhched He wants to
live. even though he is behind prison
bars. In the hope of saving his life his
family say he is insan and insanity viii
be his plea.
He has not said that he intended to
kill his last WIFE but he would not say
that he might not have killed her. The
fellow shows little signs of WEAKNESS and
does not rest well at night. He is an
habitual talker in his sleep, but his words
are not plain.

worked like a charm. There was no dis
