The inference that race or color
figured in the antics of the House in
dealing with the salaries of depart
ment heads is far fetched and we do
not believe it to be true. There has
been, and still is, an opinion 10 and
outside of the Legislature that the
Treasurer, owing to his large and
important responsibilities, should
be better paid than officials with less
responsibility and requiring merely
knowledge OF the business OF the
particular Office to Fl. them for it.
The INDEPENDENT Goes not sbars in
this view. In fact we Lave stead.
lastly advised the House that while
. general re duction was desirable,
the salaries OF department heacs
should remain equal; and when the
salary OF the Attorney. General was
reduced 1t was our opinion that the
salary of the Treasurer should also
have been reduced to conform to it.
In regard to the Assistant Superin-
tendent OF Public Works We feel
that, despite personal references
made by member, on the Fl ,or to
strengthen and impress argument,
the Office aud not the man was the
object OF attack. 1t is an open and
broad question as to the wisdom of
keeping up thi, Office. Tbs most
that can be said OF it is that it has
been and is sort of fifth wheel;
and with the drawing away by the
counties of a large part of public
work. 1t would seem to be useless
and absurd expense.
The salary OF the Attorney Gener-

TOPICS or THE DAY.

We don't sea why Foxon Bishop
does not pay the claim oil Berger
and Co for that $1,000. If suit
was brought against us for small
amount like that we would pay in
minute, If only to avoid the an.
noyance OF court appearance. But
perhaps nv Bishop objects to the
principle involved aud does not
care to set an example not in keep
ing with these stringent times.

believe they would be then earning
fair living wage commensurate
with the kind and class OF work that
they do.
OF course, they are not the only
ones; there are others employed in
the other classes Of work, such as
on the roads,tbe water works, sewer
age, etc. Many leaks have been ex-
posed in the Public Works Depart
ment, especially in the matter OF
repairing old bridges and in the
building OF new ones on the other
Islands, where man were sent from
here from S6 to So day aud found,
and yet, it is claimed, that men
just as good, If not, better, could
have been got at one-half less, they
finding themselves. This is only
one instance, If need be, but this
one instance should be sufficient in
our argument. We think there must
be something rotten somewhere and
someone is responsible for it all.
Most OF the complaints are against
one department., that OF Public
Work., and it is safe to sulmise that
some reke-cff, have been made and
gone to line somebody's pockets,
where en- ugh has been hoa!dsd, so
',is said, in ceria banks. And the
blame for it all have been heaped
upon the Assistant Superintendent.
Now, all this should and must be
stopped, and that right now. Those
who hate kanakns like poison, as is
claimed for an official whose office
and salary has been so far cut out,
should not be tolerated with too
much power. The kanaka haters
may play friendly, but that is only
their foxey nature, for the hate is
rooted and deep seated in their in.
most heart OF hearts, for what else
can be expected from malihiais, who
have nothing at stake heye, but all
to gain.
And the same may be said OF the
Educational Depart ment, where it
employs teachers at high salaries, at
the same time furnishing them with
houses to live in. We think this q
most undue advantage over the 9th
er employees under the Government,
and we utter y fail TO understand
the reason why such has been toler-
ated for these many Year,, and it is
about time that stop was made. If
q teacher can't do what others do,
rent their homes to live in, let them
go out to hustle elsewhere for them,
selves is proper course and give
their places to our own people. 1t
is about time that we've hsd enough
OF such importations.
Under this same castigatior, we
very much decry the appropriatipg
of large items for "incidentsls." We
think that they should bs enumer-
ated with clearly itemized ds.ails.
Ia all OF these lump sums, much OF
the harm has .besn done since the
days of "the best Government Ha
waii ever saw, which was "hardly
ever" before during the mon arohical
days.

All the other lump sums ssked for

aga and Excavator Bureau, we are
given TO understand that tie en-
ployees are being paid at the rate
Of $40 month: and yet they do the
dirtiest and most unpleasant kind
OF work. We believe these men
should be paid better, and partic.
ularly, here in Honolulu, where the
living is expensive. A raise of $40 a
month would not be too much in
our estimation, working from early
morn to late at night. Ifthsse men

One of the conditions imposed
upon the police men in the outer dis.
tricts is that every one OF them must
furnish and maintain horse with
which 10 execute orders and to serve
papers. We consider this hardship
imposed upon those already poorly
paid men. But such is not ths case
with the mounted patrolmen OF this
city, although they furnish their
own horses, but their maintenance
is by the Police Department by
allowing them high salary, al
together out OF proportion to those
elsewhere. This is a condition that
should be made known to the Legis-
lature, go that the pay of police may
be intelligently apportioned.

THOSE LUMP SUNS.

In the matter OF the pay OF police
officsre, the most poorly paid body
Of men in the employ of the Govern.
ment, as already alluded to herein,
we are still OF the opinion that they
we're rightly placed by reference to
the members from the respective
Islands, for who else knows better
than they do. The giving of lump
sums should be forever discouraged, /,
but that every policeman's pay
should in place be clearly stated, so
that no further reductions be m ade
as in the case of the Hawaii police,
already aired in he House. These
lump sums give the heads too much
of the whip hand over the men as to
how their pay is to be apportiou-
ell aud regulated, as it is we'll
known fact that these underpaid
men do the heaviest and hardest
part OF the work, and in some cases
quite severe while their superiors
are taking life easy.

Town Board Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Village Trustees was held Monday
evening at the Office of Judge Penning-
ton, the full board being present except
A. j. Clark, who is absent from town.
The only business Of any Importance
transacted aside from the regular rout-
Inc of approving bills and reports, was
the resolution to the effect that all pros
titutes and body houses must be re-
moved without delay beyond the 7CO
limit as prescribed by ordinance, and
fixed the line beyond which they may
hereafter locate, viz, not west of
Diamond avenue nor south of Cedar
street This puts the Deming social
evil pretty out right and 75O feet be-
yond any place Of public assembly.
The special committee having in
charge the erection of the city hall re-
ported the work progressing satisfac-
tOrially and the building nearing COM
pletion. The question of placing cement
sidewalk all around block two, but
without action was deferred to an ad-
journed meeting to be held next Mon
day evening.

There's a lack of a woman's smile
There's lack of a baby's coo;
There's a lack Of something to eat
When we 60 home to chew.
There's a lack Of usin' the broom,
For the floor with dust is laid;
There's a lack of a woman's touch,
There's the lack Of bed that's made

Your wife does day by day,
Just let her go a visitin'
A week or two to stay.
There's the rooms to tidy,
The beds to make,

But it isn't very often
That our wife takes roam,
And we fervently thank God,
That soon she'll be comm home,
