Intended Slight 10 Speaker,

We utterly fail to see why the SEN
ate should make distinction between
the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House. in its proposed
amendment to the House joint resolu-
ton for the appointment Of County
Act commission. 1t is proposed in the
amendment that commission Of Ave
members be appointed by the Cover
nor (the President of the Senate to
nominate two and the House Of Repre-
sentatives to nominate two) to draft a
County Act to be presented at the reg
ular session of the Legislature" Why
this distinction? Now we see it, 1t is
because Senator Crabbe is a Republi-
can and can do no wrong and Repre-
sentative Beckley Home Ruler and
must do wrong. Isn't that so? And
then again, it looks as If the Repub-
lican members want all Republicans to
compose the proposed commission and
make another failure like the last one,
which a man with crockery optic
could not see the holes in it on a bright
moonlight night. Great fellows, aren't
they. these good and bright Republi-
cans, who are all more or less without
sin and cannot see the mote in the
beam of the eyes of others. This seems,
to our comprehension, to be a sort OF
narrow class legislation with a ven-
geance. If Crabbe can nominate, why
cannot Beckley? Let either of the pre-
siding officers nominate, and If not, let
each house do so from among their re-
oblivion FOR good and forever hold
their peace.
The Independent., 1904-04-14

There is in this community certain
class who do not relish to be told the
"unvarnished truth" They don't be.
lieve in a spade being called a spade.
And when they are given any such
truth, they then resent it, unless 1t be
given in different way from the real
truth. Such class we know of, be-
cause they are themselves too deprav.
ed and think that everybody else are
like themselves.

Good Choice Eol Delegate

Three names are being mentioned as
candidates for election as delegates to
the Republican National Convention
from the Fourth District They are A.
6. ,Ms Robertson, the popular attorney
and politician. R. W. Breckons, U. S.
District Attorney. and Billy Hoogs.
OF the three candidates, we believe
that Alex. Robertson would make the
best one to represent this Territory
among the Mainland Republicans. AS
for Hoogs, he's nonentity, and for
Breckons, he has no claim whatever
upon the good graces of the voters of
the Fourth He made of himself
failure in the drafting of the now de-
funet County Act, and for that alone,
why should the people support such an
upstart from great America. with
Alex Robertson. the interests of the
country will be perfectly safe, /. e., as
far as the Republican party here is
concerned and moreover, he will lend
it tone and be thereby much bettered
in the long run.

ATTENTIONS BEYOND REASON

Having allowed several days to blow

appear cantankerous at everything
done by the Government, because we
were alike stricken with grief at the
early demise OF a very promising
young man OF our own race, we left
our criticisms of certain uncalled for
attentioas. 10 cur view, till he had
been laid away in his narrow earthly
cell. the common level and depository
of all mankind, including every mov-
ing thing above the earth and below
the waters of the earth, as well as
those in the air. We have reference
to the attentions given on behalf OF
the Goycrnmcn. to our late lamented
fellow craftsman of the quill, VIM. H.
StIulilauakea Coney, the young Hawaii
an who always had duty before him at
all times and al all hazards. Whatever
we may attempt TO criticize. we say
to all our readers and friends in ad
vance that we are not merely doing 1t
because we want to, nor Is 1t out of
any disrespoct for him, but it is more
to show how the Government some
times overdo things thoughtlessly, pro-
badly with the best of intentions, yet
1t was uncGlled for ill-timed, out of

mage to the memory of our young
countryman, who was called hence In
advance of his allotted time and out of
his sphere of influence; secondly, the
attentions paid bis memory was be-
yond all reason of propriety; and,
thirdly, because these unusual atten.
tions smacked of a play in politics,
probably with the idea of showing to
the majority Of Hawalans how one of
them, deemed worthy of recognition,
was respected by those in authority, a
respect hardly shown during life, but
only when death overcame such son
of Hawaii.

"a rose by any other name smells

at the present time harborlng certain
persons whose scent is too keen over
the average lot, and are bent on being
mischievous and troublesome. Some
Of these scent obscenity in the case of
others, but when it comes to them
selves, their sense of smell then is en-
tirely lost to themselves, unless it be

Hon. A. n. Kepoikai is now no more
the Territorial Treasurer, his success
sor having been appointed by the Gov
ernor yesterday. He now takes a Fed

his home island. We had felt that an
other native Hawaiian like himself
would be appointed. but the Governor
took up with an accidental haole Ha-

One sensible proposition advanced
by Senator Kalauokalani yesterday
was to defer consideration of the Gar
bage and Sewer Charge Bill till the
next general Legislature. 1t was his
idea to COVE the people of the city a
chance to feel their way as to how to
meet this extra expense during the in.
terim and thereby prepare themselves.
But no Republicans and Home Rulers
voted for the measure, an extra hard
ship upon Honolulu residents. What
care the country members for us here?
Nothing whatever, so it seems.
The Independent., 1904-04-14

At the rate the Republican legislators
are forcing the passage of the sewer
charge bill at this special session, they
are forcing an extra burden upon the
poor property owners of the city; but
then the poor have no business to own
any property whatever within these
precincts. It's their business, as it
will be used as another nail to their
political coffin at the next fall.

When the late Hon. R. w. Wilcox
died and was buried, the man who was
the recognized leader of the majority
of the Hawaiian people and who was
the first choice of that people, by elect.
ing him, to first represent this new
American outpost in the halls of Con
gress. he never got such honors be.
slowed over him and in his memory
No soldiers turned out. for him, al
though the band played at the cemetery
the Government making less of him
than what was his due. OF course,
Dole was Governor then, and the pres.
ent Governor was then the Secretary
of the Territory. The late Prince"
Kunuiakea got honors bestowed upon
him at his death which were never
showered upon him during life. Pecu-
liar, isn't it, the way things are done
in these days of Americanism? At the
death of the late Jas. X. Kaulia, also
another leader of the people, when ap.
piled for, the band was positively re.
fused. But in the present instance, it
was gratuitously offered. And further,
we sayeth not, these instances being
deemed sufficient.
The Independent., 1904-04-14

He was only. private of recent en-.
listment in one of our volunteer com.
panies, yet his whole company t1fHed
out strong to do him honor. We con.
slider this as being unusual in military
circles. What was the reason? And
then the Offering of the Band, which
played dirges at the house and at the
grave. This is a distinction which no
leaders of the Hawaiian people ever re-
ceived. How did he get 1t and how
was 1t given? Is it because of his be.
ing the secretary of the Republican
Executive Committee? This latter
seems to be the case, to our way of
thinking.
The Independent., 1904-04-14

But with regard to the unofficial por-
tion of the obsequies, we have nothing
to criticize the lodges of which the
young man was a member. 1t was
within their province to do all l. e.,
that each and every one of them could
do towards honorlng the memory of
their late departed brother.

An administrative measure was this
forenoon tabled by the House on close
vote OF IA to 10. 1t is the bill in ref
erence to costs of litigatlons with re-
gard to jury fees A caucus was held
shortly after recess and Republican
members may likely be whipped into
line to reconsider 1t this afternoon.
There's likelihood for such recon
sideration of the measure.

Bridesmaids Douse Groom.

A peculiar finale concluded the wedding
ceremonies of young couple who were mar
ried recently, writes Nashville lind. cor.
respondent of the Kansas City Star. Rose
Moser and John David, who live few miles
west of Nashville, are the bride and groom.
After the ceremony the young couple enter
tanned host of young people from the city
and neighboring farms.
Among them were the bridesmaids, eight
pretty but mischievous girls, who resolved to
make the night memorable one by an IN.
heard of prank. Late in the night, when the
guests had all departed, the frolicsome girls
returned to the house Of the bridal pair. They
persuaded the young man to come out in the
yard and, seizing him, tied him on rail,
carrying him several blocks away to "A creek
and dropping him into it. As be scrambled
out a desperate conflict took place. The
eight girls pounced on him and he handled
some of them quite roughly. In the seutie
his right arm was thrown out Of joint and a
finger broken.

piled by Thomas Jefferson of clippings from
the Bible, certain portions being eliminated,
and nothing included at variance with The &C

The volume has been the subject Of much

siderable opposition was manifested to its
publication By Congress. The original volume
IS deposited with the National Museum, aud is
in very poor state of preservation. 1t has

Hatred For Russia by swedes.

NEw YORK, June l9.--New York Is hot
bed Of anti Russian sentiment, as the hundreds
of thousands Of American born sympalhlzers
with Japan IN the st,pggle in the Far East are
augmented by the many thousands Of Swedes
and Firms and other foreign elements whose
enmity toward Russia is Inherent. The scores
of newspapers papers published IN foreign
languages give more attention 10 the war ueEs
in proportion to their space than any Of the
English dailies and the rabid anti Russian
editorials, as well as the news Of the conflict,
are read with the keeuesi avidIty by the rep
resenfatives Of nations ana peoples that have
suffered at the hands OF the Gar.
The intensity OF the anti Russian feeling was
strikingly shown in Carnegie Hall this after
noon, nj the concert Of the Swedish University
Singers, who are touring this country 10 raise
funds for the establishment OF chair OF
Swedish literature IN a Western university.
The hall was crowded To the doors when the
demonstration took place. The singers had
Just begun the chorus Of an old Finnish battle
hymn that hurled defiance into the teeth Of
the Russian foe, when resounding cheer that

Bridal Pair Have Remarkable Elk.
perience on Way to Train.

Roland Weber Van Horn, of $500 North
Broad street, and his bride, who was Helen
Wilson, of 1919 Paramount avenue, both of
Philadelphia, Pa, had remarkable expert
ence after their wedding June 20 at the hands
of friends possessed of peculiar idea OF
humor.
The marriage took place in the Church of
the Nativity. Then the party went to a din
ner at the BRIDES home. At the end of the
dinner the young pair started to enter car
riage, intending to go to the Reading Terminal.
Scarcely had they left the house, however,
when they were seized and put into farmers
wagon. Both struggled, but the athletic mem
bers of the Wahnetah Canoe Club, of Del
anco, n. j., OF which Van Horn is member,
were too much for them.
With horns footing and the wagons sides
bearing placards reading: Wilson Wedding
That's AL" Here's Where Trouble
Begins" The bride and her husband were
forced to ride through the principal streets.
Crowds followed. The bride protested, so
did the bridegroom, but their words had no
effect. A horse and two mules drew the
wagon and there were placards on their sides
supposed to be appropriately inscribed.
Finally the Terminal was reached. There,
amid the blowing of whistles, the ringing OF
cowbels and showers of rice, the young peo-
pie were allowed to alight and seek train.

Russian Poor Face A Battle For
Bread.

WARSAW, June 20.-0ne of the first conse-
ouences of the Russian-J japanese war was the
serious Gripping of the trade of Siberia with
European Russia, the Caucasus and Poland.
The unskiled labOring element of Russia was
the 6rst 10 feel these consequences. Work
men gradually are being thrown out OF enl.
ployment, and are left with their families to
subsist as best they may. Harvesting may at
ford to a small percentage of the unemployed
opportunity of earning little, though the re-
lief can only be temporary, aud in view Of the
wretched wages paid in the agricultural dis
tricts this must be materially insignificant
Even the State railways have been compelled
to discharge squads Of leaders owing 10 the
shrinkage in ordinary goods traffic. In the
last four months the shrinkage has been close
on to ii per cent, and Is increasing.
An idea Of the extent TO which traffic be
tween Russian inland railway centres aud BUS.
sian ports for export has decreased in eonse
quence of the war may be CLEANED from the
fact that close on to 200, 600 tons less has been
rallied over the Russian railway system this
year than in May last year, practically % per
cent. The aggregate quantity OF goods rallied
from various parts of the Empire to the ives
tern land frontiers of Russia is less for the past
May than for May Of last year by close to 40
per cent. On the railway lines Of European
Russia and Poland alone. 1t is computed that
6, 600 men have been discharged during The
last four months. The number of laborers
aud artisans throughout the Empire who have
been thrown into idleness in the same period
is estimated at from 100000 to 4eo, coo. the
bulk Of whom entertain bat little hope Of ind.
ing remuneraiive employment until the end
Of the war.
This army of the unemployed IS steadily
increasing at rate Of at least 5000 Day.
Without employment and without prospect Of
obtaining il for months, these laborers are
hopelessly stranded.
There are no poor Law guardians in Russia.
One out of work must. as a rule, starve or beg,
Begging is not allowed Consequently, such
unfortunales are not infrequengiy driven 70
Join the barefoot brigade and to master the
art of living by their wits snd the defines Of
their fingers.
The police forces at the larger centres are
being strengthened TO deal with the situation,
but i is perfectly clear that the situation can
not materially improve so long as the number
of unemployed increases at the present ratio.

President HadIey, of Yale, in his bacalau-

President Harris, of Amherst College, in

people were "the degenerates of the cities.
