Injustice To Sailss,

There is one thing in connection with
the Iroquois trip to the Midway Islands
that is an unvarnished outrage. On
the voyage a considerable part Of the
stores of the ship were damaged,
through no fault of the men aboard.
These stores have been charged up to
the men and the cost of them will be
taken out of their pay for the present
month-amounting, in some cases, to
nearly half of their pay. There is a
big question whether the scheme of
the Navy Department in sending out
war vessels (Which belong to the peo-
ple) here, there and anywhere pro-
miscuously. for the benefit of wealthy
corporations and without anything in
return to the Government--is proper.
But be that as it may, it is certainly
altogether wrong to tax the sailors of
any vessel for supplies injured in such
charitable missions The cable COM
pany, which had the benefit of the Iro-
quois' services, should not only have
paid for the supplies injured but might
with good grace have rewarded the
sailors of the ship for their hard and
thankless trip. There is getting to be
too much holiday business with pop
ping corks, etc. in the way the naval
officers are running the Iroquois around
here about this time, anyhow

The Bystander, in Sunday's Adyer-
tiser, wonders why Central Union
church is finding itself unable to keep
high-priced pastor while the Gath
Ollie churches of the Islands are pros
porous and are doing a vast and valu-
able work. The answer Is the simpl-
est thing in the world Central Union
church is and always has been a huge
scheme for the promotion Of business
and political graft. It's membership
has risen and fallen according 10 the
pull the church-or whatever 1t may be
caled-has been able to exercise ia
the community. The dollars IN the
collection baskets nave varied accord
ingly. Now that hard times and an
independent head of the Government
have changed things little, the pull
of Central Union has deprecated and
cheaper sermons must be the order.

that Mr.. Carter has steered the ship OF

that there may be confidence all the

HAWAIlANS AND NATURE,

The Hawaiian people were once nak'
edly exposed TO the elements, but not
60 naked as to be clotheless, nor so ex.
posed as to be houseless. They wero
clothed after the then barbarous GUS
tom, sufficiently covered not to be in
decently exposed nor to be unsheltered
from the elements They then lived as
Nature provided for them and intended
them to be, disease was hardly known
and were then in consequence large,
healthy, vigorous and strong. Since
civilization came among them their
customs have changed and they have
likewise changed. In adopting the en-
lightened civilization OF Christianity
for their own, they looked upon their
former partial nakedness, finally be-
coming ashamed Of themselves. Dis
case followed in the wake of the new
civilization and was followed by all
the other ills due 20 such civilization,
and by rapid strides, they have since
become deteriorated, with few excep.
tlons, and are very muchly decimated
through such intercourse with others
and their civilization.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-04-18

Love and Peace with open arms. These
two together became their undoing
for they then saw their own nakedness,
as the first parents of mankind did,
and were ashamed, and instead of fig
leaves, which amounted to- as much
MS what they then had, they immediate
ly began to discard their former selves
which was nearer to Nature, until to.
day they are nearly as we'll covered as
those responsible for the credit of
their present.day civilization, and yet
they are still called and considered
not sufficiently enlightened to the
white mans standard. During the few
years, not yet century, since the ad.
vent of such civilization, we are of
the opinion that the Hawaiian people
compare favorably in civilization to
many of the older peoples in such en-
lightened Christian civilization.

Employees of the Government who
are in politics and have been elected
as delegates to the Republican Terri
torial Convention, because they are Re-
publicans, are in the city In attendance
on the convention. Being engaged as
politicians, they have naturally left
their duties temporarily. Does their
pay go on just the same? Are the tax
payers paying them to play politics at
their expense? We think not. In our
opinion they have no business whatever
to NEEDLE in politics. This is matter
worth the Governors while to look in
to and remedy If need be, in the cause

There are several reasons why the
Republican convention should send at
least three native Hawaiians to Chi
cago. 1t is unnecessary for us to spec
ify or enumerate them. There are in
the Islands number of Hawaiian Re-
publicans who would be received at
Chicago with an especially glad"
hand Colonel Sam Parker is one of
them. @. B. Wilson is another. Prince
Kuhio should be sent there by all
means. That, for instance, would make
up half the delegation, and the re-
mainder could be selected from the
numerous aspirants already in the field,

order that he might buy her a piano
and other luxuries he thought would
tend to do away with her homesick-

night. He was two hours late yester.

with the news that at last the piano
could be purchased. Hurrying into
his pretty apartments he saw his wife
lying dead upon the lounge The room
was full of gas. The brides devotion

was country girl and she could not

compelled. She missed her friends

BURGLARS MAKE THEIR ES.
CAPE AFTER WREcklNo
BANKS SAFE.
NOT A CENT OF MONEY GONE
BLACKSMITH SHOP Is ROBBED
TO SUPPLY TOOLS FOR
! THE JOB.

Lakota, N. D., Oct. 16.-An attempt
was made Thursday night to blow
open the safe of the Peoples State
bank, two explosions of dynamite
awakening the citizens. Marshal
Hurlett located the explosion at the
bank and was fired at five times, but
not hit.
He rang the fire bell and the citi-
zens turned out with revolvers, shot
guns and other weapons as soon as
the cause of the alarm was learned.
The burglars succeeded in making
their escape after wrecking the banks
safe, its outer and inner doors being
blown off, but the alarm was given
before the inside steel box could be
blown, although it was so badly dam.
aged that it cannot be opened.
Five Men in the Job.
Five men are supposed to have
been concerned in the job. AS soon
AS the people we're aroused every ef-
fort was made to capture them, but
they stood off the early arrivals and
finally made their escape. Several
hundred shots were fred.
The Grace hotel, almost next door,
contained many guests, including E.
Y. Searles, the Republican nominee
for governor, and George Drake
Smith of st. Paul, who made politi-
cal address here that evening. They
turned out at the first alarm, but were
met at the hotel door by two Of the
Burglars With Guns,
who ordered everybody back inside,
and, not being armed, they were in no
situation not to obey.
A local blacksmith shop was robbed
of several tools which were used in
blowing the safe. They were found
In the bank. Although there were
many thousands of dollars in the
bank. large sums being kept on hand
at this time of the year to handle the
grain, not a cent was secured.
There is not the slightest trace of
the men. 1t is supposed the attempt
was made by professionals, as their
work indicates it. The officers of the
bank are: President, F. A. Rapders;
cashier, H. G. Merritt; assistant cash.
der, S. A. Floren. The last named
was formerly in the banking business
