sanity to bring matters to a success
full issue. 1t must De remembered
that he was United States Senator at
that time, and that his personal in
fluence at Washington was being exer-
cised constantly in our behalf. which
was potential in the end. Grant was
succeeded by Hayes, and To him Cor
don made the appeal that secured the
recognition of Hampton as the right
full and lawful Governor of South
Carolina, bringing order out of chaos,
relieving the State from military
bondage, restoring the control and
direction of public affairs to the white
people, and placing the reins govern
ment in the hands of capable and
honest officials.
1t was the matchless Gordon that
had come to the rescue of the peerless
Hampton. Weary months of waiting
and watching had passed, and Gorden
was our faithful sentinel at Washing
ton. The troops were removed and
the carpet-bag dynasty fell to rise no
more. Though generation has come
and gone sice those eyentful times, it
is not amiss in the shadow of grief
and lamentation to unfold the recol-
lections of constant. voluntary: untir-
ing service rendered by Gordon, in
order that the youth of to-day may
appreciate the fact ti,ao ulieining
gratitude is due from the people of
Carolina to their generous friend
who is now being laid to rest in his
native soil, and who after life's fitful
fever has gone to join Wade Hampton,
Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson
and the rest Of our faithful, heroic
leaders, who will welcome him on the
other shore. O, that his bravery in
peril, his loyalty to truth and his
devotion to righteousness might
descend upon the generations yet to
come, that the land he loved SO we'll
may uphold honor, exalt virtue and
cherish patriotism, the acme of his
ambition and the ideal of his noblest
thoughts.

the Executive and Legislative
branches of the government.
Reduction of Salaries.
We declare against the method
and means used recently by the Elk
ecutive of the Territory to re-adjust
its finances, and cut down its ex-
penditures.
Such retrenchment was brought
about by cutting down the salaries
of employees beyond the living
point, and by dismissing other en-
ployees to the detriment of the
public service; whereas,
Tax Incomes Of the Wealthy.
We believe and declare that the
depleted condition of the Territorial
Treasury would have been more
Justly met by taxation upon wealth (;
and in this connection we believe
and declare that an increase in the
rate of the income tax would have
been more fair and courageous and
more democratic than the method
adopted,
In connection with the retrench-
ment policy in question we particu-
larly condemn the discrimination
exercised against the non-voting
employees of the government in the
cutting of salaries.
National Legislation Neglected.
We denounce the policy of the
Republican party in the National
Congress whereby private Hawaiian
legislation was submitted in COM
mittee and received attention in adj
vance of pressing public matter,
with the result that after the pass
age of private bills the remaining
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-11-04

Hawaiian measures were absolutely
neglected and refused further con-
sideration during this session of
Congress, to the detriment and
against the interests of the entire
Territory.
To Apply American Land Laws.
We declare the policy of the Re-
publican party in this Territory
whereby large areas of land and
valuable water rights are still being
alienated from the public domain
for the sole use and benefit of cor
porations or persons already pos
sesscd of large tracts of land and
privileges, a positive menace to the
upbuilding of an untrammelcd
electorate in these Islands and
pledge our delegate to Congress to
secure local application of the spir-
it of American land laws, prefer
ence being given the landless cleo
torate in our Territory in any divis
ion of the public domain.
The Delegate Pledged.
We further pledge our delegate
to Congress to keep constant vigil
ance over matters affecting the Ter
ritory;
Untiring effort to secure liberal
appropriations for public improve
ments throughout the Territory;
The withdrawal of House Reso-
luton No. I4o72 granting arbitrary
power of removal to the Governor (;
The passage of a measure pro-
viding for the sale in fee on easy
terms of lands in Punchbowl and
elsewhere in the Territory now
principally occupied by citizen ten
ants, preference being given the ac-
tual occupants;
And to careful dissemination of
correct information among the
members of Congress and in the
Departments AT Washington rela-
tive to local affairs.
LEGAL self-eovernment.
Having full faith in the ability
OF the people OF this Territory to
govern themselves. we denounce the
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-11-04

Republican Party for its duplicity
and breach of faith with the voters
of this Territory in the miscarriage
of that party's measure for County
government, passed by the last Leg
islature, and pledge our earnest eff
fort to secure the passage and en-
actment of County law providing
for complete local self-government.
Loan Fund Expenditures.
We deplore the present distress
ed financial condition of the Terri
tory, brought about by the Repub-
lican element in part, by withhold
ing from circulation large sums of
loan fund" moneys that might
heretofore have been made available
had the departments used due dill
gence in prosecuting the several
works comprised in loan fund APP
preparations;
Warrants in Place of Cash.
And in extravagant administra-
ton, resulting in the issuance of
government warrants to employees
and supply men, a preposterous
course whereby the taxpayers are
being daily mulcted in the amount
of interest paid on unproductive
loans on the one hand and the loss
incidental to discounting warrants
on the other.
Productive Works only.
In this connection we favor the
policy of making loan appropria-
tions for productive works only and
within these restrictions advocate a
comprehensive system of public
works throughout the Territory.
To Revise Tax Laws.
We pledge cur candidates to the
Legislature to a revision of our Tax
Laws;
An adjustment of our other
sources of revenue, including the
Excise Laws, and providing for the
substitution of Toll Bill for whar +
dues, thus doing away with the
present conditions whereby the gov
ernment pays exclusively for the

framed that the annual expendit-
ures of the Territory shall not ex-

the support of the people.
Pension the Queen.
| We pledge our candidates to the
Legislature to a renewal of the usu-
al appropriations for Liliuokalani
and our Delegate to Congress to
the introduction and support of a
measure looking to permanent APP
preparation for the same purpose.
Labor To Be Protected.
We favor all reasonable measures
looking to the amelioration of labor
conditions among the citizens z of
this Territory and to the upbuild-
ing of permanent homes within our
borders.
We favor more strict enforce
ment of the citizen labor and eight
hour laws, coupled with a minimum
wage on public works and an ex-
tension of this provision along rea-
sonable lines to embrace labor re-
quired under valuable franchises or
Other special privileges granted by
the Legislature of this Territory.
We favor also dispensing with
the employment of prisoners on
work in competition with free citfs
zens. :.
Open Fishing Rights. 49,
We condemn the prbcrastinating
policy pursued by the Territorial
Executive in relation to securing
control of the private fishing rights
in this Territory d.pledge our
candidates to the Legislature to
such course as shall most prompt
ly open these fishing rights to the
general public.
Extend School System. = )
We favor the extension, of the
public school system, SO as to en-
brace a comprehensive course Of
manual and agricultural training.
and an elementary course in civil
government, thus instilling into the
youth of this Territory the princi-
pies of industry and good citizen
ship upon which the future welfare
of this Territory so much. depends.
Republicans shirked Sworn Duty.
We charge that the Republican
majority in the last Legislature
avoided its sworn duty by abstain
ing from a reapportionment of Ter
ritorial Senators and Representa-
tivcs as required by Chapter 2, Sec
ton S., of the Organic Act.
Money for Molokai. 80"
We favor establishing under Fed
eral control and at Federal expense
appliances at the Leper Settlement
in this Territory;
The employment of scientists for
the purpose of careful inquiry into
the nature. cause and possible cure
of the disease OF leprosy;
And for the treatment of those
afflicted with that disease and there
detained.

Relying implicitly upon the
soundness and integrity of the prin-
ciples above set forth, and upon the
justice and intelligence of the mas
ses, we present this platform to the
people OF the Territory and earnest
ly invoke the active support of all in
its vindication and success, cordial
ly inviting to full and equal COM
munion, all those Of whatever poll
teal creed who recognize the JUS
tice of our cause in the doctrines
we profess, and who desire to par
ticipate in their triumph.

PROF. MIpcHELL's DEATH.
Famous Scientific Controversy Over Hefehs
 of Mountain.

Famous Scientific Controversy Over Hefehe
 of Mountain. ,s
 Mrs. r. W. Craig in the New Orleans Times
 Democrat.
 Prof Mitchell lost hls life in the sum- mer of 1858 by attempting to cross the mountain apparently for the purpose of reaching the home of Big Tom wilson a noted hunter. It is supposed that in the darkness he lost his way and fell over . precpice into Wild Cat Creek He having failed to reach Wilson's as expected, accord- ing ito previous understanding--the alarm was given, which spread rapidly through Yancey. Mcdowell and Buncombe counties, and before the next night hundreds of peo- pie from these three counties had reached the mountain and commenced the search for the missing man. It was not until ths second day that his body was discovered A decision was then and there made that he should be laid to rest on the peak of Black Mountain, which to-day bears ths name of Prof. Mitchell. and 1t is a conceded fact that it's altitude is greater than any other mountain peak in the United States east of the Mississippi river Prof Mitch- ell was one of the faculty of the North Carolina State University He was not al any time connected with the. Smithsonian Institution. located at Washington city. Some years previous to his death he had vtsited the mountains of Western North Carolina and taken the altitude of what hs found to be the highest peak of the Black Mountain range east of the Mississippi riv< CT. and published the result of his meas urement. This was the first time it was claimed that the highest peak of land least of the Mississippi) was located in Western North Carolina. After the publication of Prof. Mitchelfs claim Gen. Thomas l.. Clingman. who was at that time a naeraher of Congress and e man of profound scien- tific attachments. having graduated from the University of North Carolina (Prof. Mitchell at that time being one of his pre- ceptors) took tho measurement of some of the highest peaks and published the results of his measurements. in which he claimed that one of fhe peaks which he measured considerably higher than Mount Mitchell. and named the peak "Clingman's Dome" This created a heated papers. between himself and Prof Mitchell. Prof Mitchell again visited the mountains. for the purpose of remeasurement. and con firmed his previous claims. It was on this visit that he lost his life. ani left the question still unsettled. After his death one of his pupils. R. Don Wilson. who was quite a profound scholar. visited the moun- tain and took the altitude of these peaks, and published the result of his measure ment which confirmed and established the claims of Prof. Mitchell, which settled the controversy and Mount Mitchell ever since has been recognized as the tallest peak east of the Mississippi river. Gen Ciingman's home was in AsheviIie. N. C.. at the base and in full view of the Black Mountain range. He was Brigaider General in the Confederate army. and recently died. Big Sam Wilson is still alive and takes pleas ure fin bear hunting and mountain tripa.
