Franks OF Maui Judge.

One of Judge Kalua's latest freaks
at the recent term of his Court ad.
journed last week, was the imprison-
ment> of jurymen for contempt, in
being late. He took no excuses, and
In the height of his aggravation, he
sent the juror to prison instead, where
he might cogitate and brood over his
grievous and contemptuous conduct in
being later than the Court itself. And
had 1t not been. for someone who open.
ed the law right under the Judges nos
trils, he might still be lingering in Jail
today, for-who knows? The juror
was Immediately sent for, after being
over an hour in CELL and was told to
go hence and sin no more, but must
return the next day to do duty on be-
half of his country. And he went
forth smiling and happy. AS there is
no law to warrant the Judge in this
behavior towards juror we think the
Judge exceeded his authority and he
should at once be made to know his
duty in such case. Instead of fine,
he gave the juror Imprisonment, an
uncalled for infection OF an unknown
punishment A rumor is being heard
that the Juror may yet file damage
suit against the Judge for unjust i'm
prisonment, for he was indeed impris
oned for an hour or more, and then
he'll be made to pay for his cranlSiness
and quick temper.

Hawaiian Against fhemsslpS

In the last Territorial grand jury
who signed the report against the
use of the dual languages in our Leg
islature, five were Hawaiians who were
/ gotten over to sign their death knell.
These were John A. Baker, the Ha.
waiian-Chinese linguist; Archie s
Robertson, Douglas Kaona, defeated
Home Rule candidate for Representa-
tive at the last general campaign,
Henry Hiki and Solomon Nihoa; in all,
THEE full-blooded natives and two part
Hawaiians. Only one of the lot speaks
English better than he does Hawaiian,
and tn other four are not welh-up in
their knowledge of the language of the
interloper but these took upon them
selves the task of downing their moth

fellows are Hawaiians should mark

Incentive TO Travel.

We wish to butt in again and say
that If the merchants and people of Ho-
nolulu wish to encourage tourist travel
as far as the Islands by reducing
steamship fares, the power is fully
in their hands. The merchants could
charter one or two or even three swift
passenger and freight steamers to ply
regularly between here and San Fran
CISCO something like the Alameda is
now doing. Having complete control
of their own freight at both ends, the
profits from the steamers would be as
sured in advance. The passenger sched-
ule could then be set as low as de-
sired-$25 If need be--and the voyages
to the Islands accumulated by all the
frills of excursion journeys. 1t is
childish to imagine that the undertake
ing would be too great to handle. Local
business men contend with larger
problems every year and as this enter
prise is one in which there is all to
gain and nothing to lose (save by mere
Academy it would seem that there
should be little hesitancy in tackling
it. In place of the community being
at, the mercy of the steamship COM
panies, which are crushing out tourist
travel by keeping fares up, it has the
situation completely in its own hands.

Governor regrets that his plan of re-

are entirely different from what he sup
posed upon taking Office in November

TaE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

With the ring of earnestness and sim
cerity Governor Carter summons the
Legislature into special session for
the laudablc and necessary purpose of
adjusting tie finances of the Terri
tory. It is unfortunate that this
should be necessary but it is better
to remedy our roubles at once than to
allow them to grow worse through de-
lay. z t4f
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-04-06

There is no suggestion, however.
from mr. Carter that his plan Of re-
trenchment is the only feasible one
or that it must be carried out as a
whole. On the contrary, he invites
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-04-06

and the total of expenditures reduced
to figure in the neighborhood or be-
low the total of estimated receipts
The Governor finds cause for crit
icizing the present method Of accounts,
he finding that the same is not divided
O mines Of the different classes of the
public service nor in accordance with
the division by districts He suggests
that scheme of tabulating the expeDd-
lures for different public institutions
be devised, and that an equitable divi-
sion of receipts be made between the
districts, after plan somewhat taxi
ing the place of the provision relating
thereto in the County Act.
In long table the Governor shows
that the estimated receipts for the fiscal
period ending with July / next will be
50, 1852, 372.43 and, on his plan the dis
bursements S2,O57,1 In the run of
present expenses, however, as planned
by the Legislature in regular session,
there would be deficit of $65S,000 and
his scheme, If carried out, would show
saving of s1O5, 2O2.4S, to be applied
on this amount
In summarizing the Governor urges
that no expenditure beyond the reve-
nues be legalized and that all appro-
priation bills of the last session be re-
pealed. Appropriations must be kept
below the income A more equitable
distribution of appropriations is recon-
mended, and it is urged that the gem
eral revenues he relieved of the charges
for Honolulu garbage and sewer sys-
tens. Economy and publicity of af-
fairs is recommended. The Governor
submits the draft OF revenue acts for
consideration, and also states that he
will have another message on the sub
ject of expenditures.
Prisoners are now being used to clear
Kapiolani Park and Waikiki natives
employed in carting away earth. This
is a makeshift for hte orientals for
merly employed. Is it because the Leg
islature is called into special session
and is only means to blind the leg
islators? We are on to this game Of

Charley Williams from Honokaa fell
outside of his caste in the House this
forenoon. Johnny Wise was too wise
for him, being like snake in winning
out against both his opponents. Both
are Hawaii boys. There was no need
of importing one to oppose another
anyway.
There is hardly doubt but that the
Governor is right in his contention
that the salaries of Government ply
sicians should be cut out altogether in
many cases and shaved in probably all.

stipends from the public treasury are
