A contributor writes us as follows:

has an inward hate for them and is
bent upon revenge for the untimoly
killing Of his brother for meddling
where he had no business to and for
nosing where he was not wanted" We
cannot help but agree with the fore
going expression, which will set at
nought all his outward expression of
love, affection respect and esteem for
the Hawaiian on his triumphal tour of
the big Island He cannot too soon
forget the early death of his brother,
and it is but natural that revenge
should lurk deeply somewhere in his
once Polynesian, but now American,
heart. good Christian may, but a
politician after power-never; and
now that he has power, it is within his
province TO so wreak it upon those re-
sponsible for such an act. but the
greater responsibility should lay upon
those who precipitated the catastro-
phe. or course, Mr.. Carter never for
once had a Polynesian heart although
born Polynesian," but reared as an
American and now touring as such,
l. e., real and live one with no use
whatever for the Polynesian, because
they are mostly Home Rulers, and
not Republicans.

votes of those honestly opposed to his
administration. From one of his re-

that Mr.. Carter has abandoned his
policy of economy stating that condi-

has never studied these conditions,
his whole previous attention having
been given to the Territory's finances

ECONOMY TALK ALL BOSH.

In accord with the retrenchment
policy advocated by The Independent
on Saturday, Treasurer Kepoikai has
felt compelled TO Issue word of
warning to all heads of departments
that economy must be exercised all
along the line, both as to pay-rolls and
current expenses. The Treasurer, in
the proper exercise of his duty as de-
fined by law, is endeavoring to safe
guard the interests of the community
the taxpayers, and to prevent a
financial congestion. In doing this he
will have, and should have, the hearty
support of every resident of Hawaii
possibly excepting the heads of other
departments who become absolutely
unmindful of the fact that they are
the servants of the people just as
soon as they secure the fat emolu
ments of office and the accompanying
power of becoming spendthrifts with
out cost to themselves.

United States Commissioners Report
Shows Decrease in Pupils.
The report OF the commissioner OF
education for the fiscal year ending
, June 80, 1904, made public al Wash
ington Sunday by the secretary OF
the entericr, shows 1G,009,S6l pupils
or 20 per cent Of the entire popuia-
ton OF the country attended the public
schools during the year.
AS compared with the previous Elk
years, this percentage shows a slight
decrease in the number of pupils as
compared with the total population.
The tota! cost of the public school
system is given at $251, ,457,G25. This
is an increase CT S16,0o0,000 over the
previous year. 1t amounts to s. 15 per
capita OF total population and S22.75
per capita per pupil. .s
Since 1870 the proportion of male
teachers has decreased from 80 PEI
cent of the entire number to 26 per
cent of the entire number the past
year. The average compensation FOR
male teachers last year was $49-3S,
and $40.51 for females. This is
slight increase over the previous year.
The enrolment in the private
: schools for the year is given as l.
! 013,S76. By the addition Of pupils in
elementary schools, academies, insti.
tutions for higher education, evening
schools, business schools, private
schools, private kindergartens, Indian
schools, state schools and schools for
orphans, the grand total Of 18,1S7,918
pupils is reported. The report essi-
mates that the average schooling CIV.
en- to each pupil in 1870 was 67,2s:
days, and 1908, 1881 days.
The report shows that last year
1,57S,632 colored children were enroll
ed in the common schools fos; that
race in the former sixteen slave states
and the District of Columbia. The en-
rollment in 1877, the first year sta
tistics were taken of the colored
schools, was 571,506. Since 1876 it is
estimated that s230,0o0,0o0 has besa
expended in the education of the col.
ored children in the former slave
states, and nearly 100000, 600 for the
same purpose for the while children
of the same section.
Ninety.six reform schools are re.
corded, with 81, ,46s inmates, 21,G03 Ct

The speakers all paid proper tribute
to the lamented dead. Judge Watts
granted the motion and ordered the
adjournment Of the court. expressing
his appreciation Of the character AMI

Bishop Clinton was negro, ard ha l

was a slave in his early life and lived
at peace with his white neighbors all
his life.
The action of the court in Lancaster
was notable tribute to the dead bish-
op. The lawyer on whose motion the
court adjourned. and the lawyers wto
seconded the motion and the judge
who granted the motion, are all ma
tive South Carolinians and thorough

adjourning in any northern state in
respect to the memory of negro

have always thought that we under
