but let us do one thing at a time in
order to give each our best ability.
In order to expedite your work,
have had prepared Salary Bill for the
House and a Current Expense Bill for
the Senate, covering the fiscal period
Of twelve months. beginning with July
LIST. both Of which. as far as am able
to suggest, do away with all extrav-
agances and abolish those institutions
which appear to be the least essential
to the welfare Of the whole Territory.

On behalf Of the
REQUESTS OF people Of this
GOVERNOR. Territory, ask
| Of you the follow
ing:
First. That you legalize no expendi-
ture beyond the estimated revenue;
that you repeal all present appropria-
ton bills, including those special acts
passed at the last session OF the Legis-
lature.
| Second. That In order to overtake
our income and to return to cash
basis, thereby doing away with the
necessity for registering warrants, you
keep your appropriations, as far as
consistent with sound judgment, be-
low the income.
Third. That you justify the expense
of your session by special legislation
which will relieve the general reve.
nues of the costs OF litigation. and es.
,tablish policy OF requiring direct
charges for special services in partio-
ular districts. thus relieving the gen,
eral revenues OF the charges for Ho,
nolulu garbage and sewer systems.
Fourth, and lastly. That, as yol
control the purse strings Of our Terri
tory, you prove true to the trust i'm
posed upon you by setting an example
to the people and TO the Administrator
In the economy and publicity OF you
own affairs, thus proving your legisla
tive body to be worthy OF the peopl'
OF the Territory Of Hawaii.

PURPOSE OF
TAXATION.

TAXATION. weak method Of
solving this diff
fculty would be to increase the reve-
nues. But taxation Is surely IN evil
when through extraordinary or injudi-
cious expenditures 1t Is excessive, and
when It demands too large portion Of
the income or increased wealth Of q
oountry-out of which. and not out Of
accumulative capital, all taxes ought
to be paid. And are we not now at
that point beyond which We will limit
or abridge the liberty Of the individual
In his possession and use Of property
By what theory do we now tax the
l55, 900 people OF these Islands some
s. .16O. 100000 per year? After paying
our taxes do any Of us feel richer?
Or do We feel that the Government is
giving each Of us back as much in value
and no more and no less than we gave
Il? Yet 1t is on that theory alone that
taxation is justified. Unnecessary
taxes, overpaid salaries, or the main
tenance of institutions that are not es-
sential are wholly lost.

The whole ques-

LEGISLATURE. our expenditures
from the general
funds OF the Territory necessary and
equitable? Not are they desirable;
not are they suitable? 1t is only for
actual need that the power Of taxation
can be granted. 1t is believed by some
that there is no injary In excessive
taxation, inasmuch as 1t Is all returned
to the taxpayers through the expendi-
lures OF the Government which. by in
,creasing the demand for commodities
and Service, create or expand markets
maintain prices, enlarge the sphere for
Industrial employment and favor an

attention to our
present method Of accounts. II is
neither a system divided on the lines
Of different classes Of public service.
nor Is It divided In accordance with
districts. without considerable in
genuity and much inquiry, 1t is at
present almost impossible for the ordi-
nary taxpayer to find out the net cost
OF many Of our institutions, or the
total revenue and expenditure OF any
given district. We are suffering today
from q lack Of knowledge on the part
OF our people OF their own affairs.
Therefore. l recommend the appoint
ment by you Of commission OF three
experts. to serve without pay, to in
vestigate and report at the next regular
session OF the Legislature plan for
the recognizing Of our system Of ac-
counts by establishing funds for each
Island or District, SO that the resi-
dents In each may be able to see what
each District contributes to the support
of the whole, and how much has been
expended for improvements and the
maintenance Of public institutions in
each: I could perhaps best illustrate
the idea somewhat as follows:
Such a commits

pGrtment, such as Public Works, Edu-

District could be set apart. Against
the remaining revenue OF each Island
could be charged the proportion spent

THE EVOLUTION OF READY-MADE
CLOTHING.

MANY of us can remember the time
when ready made clothing, shoes,
gloves, shirts, etc, were Stunned like
social outcasts, and practically every
mans wardrobe was made to order.
That was before the advent of modern
methods.
Now all is changed. While here
and there in some lines still exist re-
minders of the old order of things, for
the most part ready-made apparel is
to fav far removed from the clothing
of former days.
We are living now in scientific
age, and no branch of industry has re-
ceived greater impetus in this direc-
ton than the making of men 5 clothes.
Alfred Benjamin & Co., of New
York, were pioneers in this evolution,

THE RICE MARKET.

Market for he week has been quiet
with fair cOnsunptive demand. Re
ciepts are light rejecting the higher
values at primary points, AS compared
with ruling rates here, which do not
attract shipments in this direction.
ASSIGNMENTS are fair. with appreciable
diminution of offerings OF the ex-
tremes. An enlarged call for the
cheaper grades for manufacturing pur-
poses. has toned up the market Oh
such. and in fancy sorts there has
been some difficulty in matching pre-
yious purchases, except at higher prl-
cas. and as market has been creaned -
former quality is hard TO Obtain.
Medium grades offer fuller margin
for selections, as we'll as attractive OPP
portunities for profit il, distribution.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

There was meeting OF the 18TH
Judicial District Conference Commit
tee at St Martinsville, last Monday,
at which time it was decided TO hold
primaries for Judge and District At
torney, on the majority basis. on the
26th of July, 1904, Tuesday. Should
it be necessary to hold second primary
by reason of failure Of candidates TO
receive a majority of votes, then the
second primary shall be held on August
9th, 1904. All the candidates for Judge
are making an active and energetic
canvass.
The campaign for District Attorney
is enlivened by the appearance OF Mr..
Justin G. Daspit, of Breaux Bridge as
candidate, makes it a triangular contest
as in the Judgeship. unless the rumor
that Mr.. Muller has withdrawn is true.
However the trend Of popular opinion
is towards the triumphant election OF
the popular attorney, present incum
bent, Hon. Edwin Broussard, Whose
candidacy we heartily advocate.

THE DYMOND MINE.

Contrary to all previous experience
and in defiance Of all geological form
ations Louisiana has a Dymond mine.
1t is located all along the miles OF
coast for which the State is celebrated
and instead of operating down in the
bowels of the earth the product is
found within the waters beneath. In
other words our almost iltimitable oy-
ster territory is sought to be controlled
and monopolished by the Dymond
family and friends, who under the law
formulated by John Dymond, Jr., in
which each of the family and asso-
ciates will receive in perpetuation 5000
acres of oyster bottoms, proving to be
a veritiable diamond mine in worth.
1t is stated by the Times Democrat
that the Dymonds will control from
70 to 100 thousand acres OF the best
oyster lands of the State thus creating
a trust that will be a veritable dia-
mond mine to the holders. Should
the proposed law go into effect, John
Dymond, ST. ". S. Dymond, John
Dymond, Jr., Dymond and Dykers,
Dymond & Roderigues, Dymond &
Hebert will receive each 5000 acres as
entries for same were made recently
and ON the same day. Thus Louisiana
can boast Of the finest cluster Of Dy-
monds in the world whose scintilla
tions will extend all over the State
and even to the canneries of Florida
and Mississippi.
1t is with pleasure we notice the
activity of the Hon. J. G. Akers, our
Representative in the State Legisla-
ture. His action in regard TO the Oys-
ter commission in sending for the
books, papers and persons with the
object of a thorough investigation is
highly commended by his constituents
Before any further legislation is had,
Mr.. Akers thinks it would be wise to
see ..swhere we are at" His request,
it is stated, caused quite stir among
those who desire to monopolize and
Z. trustify' one of the coming industries
of our State.

IBERIA 8; LAKE CHARLES ;.

The way Lake Charles was beaten
in the game at New iberia was a
shame, - say all the boys from Lake
Charles.
The game started off we'll and it
was not until the umpire made one or
two decisions that it was materially
changed, as far As Lake Charles was
concerned.
The bad decisions may have been
unintpntional and unbiased, hut they
were made, Just the same.
The tabulated score will exhibit,
partly, the manner in which the score
was won, partly by poor fielding and
base running.
Conrad pitched an excellent game,
but the support was poor, The lber-
ians got only tour hits OF Conrad,
while Lake Charles touched Fiory NJ
for nine, and both pitchers had pretty
good control.

A SAD CAL. AMITY.

Almost heart rending catastrophe oc-
CURED last Wednesday morning, in
East River near He'll Gale, New York,
in which hundreds of lives were lost
consisting principally of women and
children. The Steamer Slocum, used
for excursion purposes had on board a
Sunday School excursion Of st. Mark 5
German Lutheran Church, with a
large number of friends making total
of over 1000 souls. When near the
:. Meadows all explosion occurred in
the after part OF the vessels which set
fire to that part Of the boat at once
spreading over the entire steamer
burning women and children who pre-
cipitately threw themselves into the
river, where many were drowned.
The officers and crew of the boat did
all in their power to save the people,
but without avail When the vessel
was beached at Brothers Island the
upper deck collapsed falling upon
hundred of bodies upon the deck
beneath. The pastor and superintend-
ent of the Church and Sunday School
were picked up by boats but their
families were lost. Many were res
cued by boats and tugs. but it is estim-
ated that fully 500 were burned or
drowned. A great many bodies have
been washed ashore which are impos-
sible of Identification. 1t is stated
that the Steamer Slocum was inspected
in May last and pronounced in first
class order for excursion purposes, yet
in the hour of peril life preservers
were insufficient in numbers and
ia stoned to the ceiling overhead, be-
yond the reach Of only the tallest peo-
pie. The authorities are investigat-
