Appeal to the Government.

sionary on the Navajo Indian reserva-
ton, conferred with the commissioner

COOPER WANTS CAMPBELL.

During the discussion on the sal
airy OF the Supervising Engineer day
before yesterday in the House OF
Representatives, which we deem to
be the same as that of the Assistant
Superintendent, previously struck
out Of the Six Months Salary Bill,
and from the answers given by Sup
erintendent Cooper 10 the grilling
he received from members, it was
plain to anyone with suffiient fore
sight and insight into the trend
events are leading US to, that Mars.
ton Campbell was toi be ethe man OF
the hour to help Poobah expend the
money to be derived from the Loan
Act. The attempt OF some OF the
members to probe him, so as to get
him to give direct answer that he
wanted Campbep, was, unnecessary,
and we think that whsh he refused
70 answer direct question on that
point, he was perfectly within his
right, because it was leading ques-
lion, and others had right to make
and arrive at conclusions opposite
to what he intended to convey, and
in not conveying what what was de-
sired, he submerged the resl desire
aimed at.

Inspectors besides, who are virtually
assistants TO the present chief OF the
bureau OF today. The Office now
appears to be a mere sinecure from
what it used to be formerly, and it
seems to be only to provide hand
some living for one who spends
nearly all his time at headquarters,
and who has highly paid assistants;
these latter we think might as we'll
be safely dispensed with, as in our
opinion, they are unnecessary and too
cumbersome, and are impositions
upon the taxpayers.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-07-10

In our opinion, il Mr. Campbell is
the man we think him to be, he
should by all means resign, as he is
not in odor with the peoples re-
presentatives, and knowing it only
too we'll, he should, 10 all decency,
Immediately tender his resignation.
But If Mr. Cooper should retain him
in Office, it would then clearly be a
case of disregarding the wishes Of
the masses as expressed by resolu.
tion in the House. For the rest, we
leave to the future and to posterity,

Our dickey bird (not the Senator

brought us another information that
Mr. Cooper stated openly yesterday
at semi-public hostelry that II Mr.
Campbell rendered his resignation,
he would accept it, but he would
not ask for his resignation as re.
quested by resolution OF the House.
Then, if such is the case, Mr. Camp
bell is the man of Mr. Cooper's

The above appear, on their face,
as mere questions, but they indicate
an impulse il not an established in-
tention. In other words, the Adver-
tiser would suggest that the native
Hawaiian is incapable OF mental
development beyond certain limit
ed scope, and that thereafter knowl.
edge finds false field in which to
operate. 1t mign just as we'll have
said: "The natives were born to be
hewers of wood and drawers of
water. They have no intellect, no
ambition, no hero worship, no goal;
aud they are incapable of possessing
these noble qualities OF our
crowd.'"

and no other need apply. We have
it upon the best OF insids inform
alton, brought to us by our dickey
bird, that as soon as Mr. Cooper had
rendered his resignation, he imme-
diately suggested, and even nomi-
mated Mr. Campbell to be appointed
in his stead. And it is also known
that he insisted on IL and that the

the Ssnate give way to the House
on the matter OF the salary of the
Japanese Interpreter which it had
attempted to arrive at an agreement
in an increased pay, aud that the
