INCOMPETENCE Of PUBLIC works DEPARTMENT
CHARGED At MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION MEETING

in great measure for the poor condi'
ton OF the wharves.
s"In the last two years it has cost
the Territory $4,000 per year to main
tain its wfrarves, and still we have
nothing" said Wakefield. "The Hack.
field wharf was built in 1901 at cost
of $143,7 72, and since that time 1884,
has been spent in repair work. More
than $1,000 was spent recently in a
new floor which will last only ten
months at the most. In many cases
the wharves along the harbor front are
dangerous to life and limb. The floor
ing is bad and the pilng is worse. I'm
der the present system of piling, the
piles on the outside of the wharves
last about six weeks after vessel has
been rubbing against them.
Leaky, Mains Nc Repaired.
H.The waste of water on the wharves
is another great item that is costing
the government a great deal of unnec-
essary money. On the wharves, are
one hundred and twenty-five hydrants
and one hundred and twenty-four of
these are leaking. Two men are con-
stantly employed in looking after these
hydrants alone, and are, not capable
of mending them. This water dripping
down on the stringers and floors is rot
ting them away and costing the gov
eminent large sums of Money.
"In my opinion we have not had
the efficiency from the department of
public works that we should have. Thou
sands of dollars are being wasted
through that Departments. Nearly all
the plans drawn by the public works
department are fun of extras that are
of no use whatever. One of the many
instances of this nature was the draw
ing of plans for the Queen street wharf.
When the plans were drawn, the ground
levels were not taken and as conse-
quence the wharf was out of plumb. ="

BANANA JACK AND Proxies RUSH To
DEFENSE Of CHARACTER Of M'CAADLEsS

With "Too Bad jack Kalakieia, the
banana CRATER, recently eensured by
his colleagues in house of representa-.
tivcs as lacking good judgment, in the
ehpir, abe majority Of the Democratic
county committed adopted another
resolution last night, which it is be-
lieved, will excite still more ,ridieule
and laughter than any other resolution
passed by that body in the past. .
The clause in the resolution drawn
up by John Efinger which win prob,
ably cause the most merriment is that,
which, after accusing Bertram G.. Riv.
enburgh, chairman of the county com.
mittee with fling charges against the
moral character of L. l.. McCandless at
Washington, goes on to, say, @ such
charges (affecting the, moral character
of McCandless) are manifestly false
and made only. for malicious persecu-
ton of said McCandless by Republican
ministers of Honolulu, evidently for
the purpose of continuing in the guber.
material chair, w. F. Frear the present
Republican incumbent
The resolution was carried by vote
of fifteen to eight, the majority for the
most part consisting of proxies secured
from Hawaiian members of the commit
tee, by threats and promises, it is said,
during the past week.
w. Il. Miles, secretary of the commit
tee, and DR.. r.. NJ. Birch led the fight
against the adoption of the resolution.
Birch endeavored to have the commit.
tee 90 into executive nssion in order
to shut out several lieutenants of Ne
Candless who were present and attempt
ing TO instruct their henchmen on the
committee when and how to vote. But
the majority decreed an open meeting,
and Birch after declaring that the res
olution would make the committee more
of a laughing stock than it has been
in the past, if that were possible, cast
an emphatic negative and walked out
Miles made calm, commonseIse adj
dress. He called the attention of the
committee to the fact that there was nc
proof before the committee that Riven'
burgh had presented the charges, which
he said had not been made by the
Democrats opposed to McCandless
''but,' he added, significantly "there
is no evidence before this body that
the charges are not true, and in fact
do not believe these resolutions repre-
sent the private sentiments of most OF
the members of this committee, but
have been presented merely for political
effect. ! would suggest that those who

House Bill $50, which provides tax
Of FIVE cents on every ton of merchan-
disc shipped and received. over terri
torial wharves for the purpose of max.
ing those wharves self-sustaining, re-

Der of the association went on record
MS opposed to tho bill, on the ground
that it would mean the immediate ces-
sation of the Concentration tax Oh
merchandise received, which for years
has been collected for the Improvement
of sanitary conditions.
Kennedy opposes Tax.
James A. Kennedy, president of the
InterIsland Steam Navigation Com
pany, was perhaps more strongly
against the new measure than any
member present.
"The collecting of this tax would
mean great hardship to the steamship
people, said Kennedy. "When a COM
pany is already paying voluntary tax
of ten cents, l consider it would be an
imposition to try to make them collect
the tax on every ton of merchandise
they carry. AS understand the new
bill, all steamship companies would be
held responsible for every ton of mer-
chandse carried and would be forced
to collect the fve-eent tax on every
ton. .ft~Aai Mo T.'f.t a,@ts. ts'ft
"In q case where a steamship com

that was what he meant the country

Wrath Over English Treaty.
The next year the people knew what
Mr.. Jay had done. He reached New
York May 2s. 1896; and the treaty
he thought with him was laid before
the senate on the Sth of June. On
the I'd of July the country knew what
he had agreed to and the senate had
ratified. There was an instant out
burst of wrath. 1t swept from one
end of the country to the other.
The treaty yielded so much. gained
80 little, that to accept 1t seemed
veritable humiliation. The northwest
ern posts were, indeed. to be given up
at last; the boundaries between Eng
lish and American territory were to
be determined by commissioners; un-
restricted commerce with England
herself, and q free direct trade with
her East Indian possessions. were con-
ceded; but not a word was said about
the impressment Of American seamen;
American claims for damages for un-
coveted trade with the West Indian
referred to a commission. along with
American debts to Englishmen; the
coveted trade with the West Indies
islands was secured only to vessels
of seventy tons and under. and at the
cost OF renouncing the right to ex-
port sugar. molasses. coffee, cocoa. or
cotton to Europe.
Washington agreed with the senate
that ratifications OF the treaty ought
not to be exchanged without modin-
cation of the clauses respecting the
West Indian trade, and October had
come before new and better terms
could be agreed upon: but he had no
doubt that the treaty as whole ought
to be accepted. The opposition party
in congress had refused to vote money
for an efficient navy. and 80 had made
It impossible to check British aggres-
sions; they must now accept this un.
palatable treaty as better at any rate
than war.

It Is a common thing In this country

nervous systems weakened by coffee

That is because many parents do

whom drank coffee from infancy up
