WEDNESDAY APRIL 19 1899
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Tho Chief Justice has registered
without taking theDoloan oath
Rose Solley has a pleasing inter
view with Col George Maofnrlanein
connection with Kaiulanis death in
the S F Call
Attention is oalled to a fall of a
large meteor the reflection of which
in our hemispheres the Bulletins
correspondent probably saw
The Engineers deserve an extra
attendance at the departure of the
Australia at noon to morrow They
have earned our esteem and we can
well afford to give them a parting
Aloha if naught else
It is a great pleasure to watch the
drilling of the Hawaiian police force
by Captain Parker Too Bhort a
time is devoted to the drill how
ever and the men are becoming too
fleshy for active service The Sa
moans may yet come around this
way and wo have no naval reserve
We aniicontent with our climate
for a friend writes English clim
ate keeps true to its characteristic
of changeableness After some
weeks of brilliant sunshine we have
gone back to snow and bitter north
winds seasonable no doubt but
rather trying after unseasonable
summer weather in winter
A short while ago the District
Magistrate was very severe in all
cases of assaults and affrays He
received the applause of tho com
munity but not the support of the
Attorney Generals Department Re
cently the excellent judge has
changed his policy and deals very
leniently with men who break the
peace by assaults
As the President has pulled out of
his sleeve the anti-assisted-labor
Joker had he not better disolose his
anti registration left bower aleo
so that voters may know what kind
of game ho is playing If he and his
Cabinet have knowledge that Mc
Kinley will forbid an election let
them say so at once before more of
the taxpayers money is wasted
The official organ of Mr Dole
is in favor of the roceut law passed
in California for -the purpose of
muzzling the press Not one re
putable journal in the United States
has undertaken to endorse the bill
which has become a law to the dis
grace of the California Legislature
and whioh will be Bent to the official
waste basket as soon as the Supreme
Court has deolarod tho unconstitu
tionally of the law manufactured and
aupported by men whose public
conduct and private characters
could not bear the criticism of news
papers
We are aiiked what will bo the ro
Bult of the Snmoan embroglioT Wo
answer that it will result in compro
mises all round whioh will leavethe
three great nations interested firmer
friends than ever in the Pacific
Probably Chambers Rose and the
present Consuls will be withdrawn
and Admiral Kautz given another
station There will be new deal in
TE
Samoa and the attempts of tho
yollow journals throughout tho
world to croato war bo frustaled
Out of courtesy to the Czar and Vic
toria there will bo no great war this
year nor probably next owing to
the Paris Exposition but in 1901 wo
think tho war dogs may bo unloashod
all over tho world and then even
littlo Hawaii maybo badly bitten
After all what aro tho Samoans
doingt They aro fighting for tho
great priuciplo for whioh Americans
have died for govornmont by tho
people aud of the people It is sad
that white men must dio in the no
ble effort of civilizing savages
But can tho savages be blamed
Tho Pilipinos aro unreasonable in
deed Tbey canuot realize that thn
Maxim guns are shooting thorn down
in the intorost of humanity simply
and for tho pure benefit of tho Fili
pinos The old saying that a good
Indian is a dead one is evidently in
scribed on the school books of Am
erican statesmen and tho noble
principles of freedom liborty etc
Btriotly applied to home and
whites only
The officers and con of H I M
S Piomoule foal greatly annoyed at
an item whioh appeared in a recent
issue of a Honolulu journal and in
which it was said that Italians from
tho Piemonte were trying to pass
counterfeit coin As a matter of
fact one sailor on board thn Pinmon
te in good faith offered a storekeep
er a coin which he had received in
Chili and believed to be an English
sovereign Tho storekeeper accept
ed tho coin aud when informed off
hand that it was no good raised a
hue and cry against tho men of the
warship To stigmatize the crew of
warship in the manner done by the
local journal is unjust unfair and
indecent and if done unintention
ally should cause an amplo apolo
gy to be exacted by the Italiau Con
sul and the commander and crew of
the Fiemonto

The Cap Fitted But was Too Tight
Ed The Independent
In yesterdays Independent you
gave me a SRvere roasting in which
you hadnt the courage to use my
name I will be charitable to you
and hope that you have received a
commensurate money remuueration
for the article or that it will help
you to stand in with tho sugar
push who have onco before at
tempted to prosecute me
Your article however is false in
its insinuations and assertions
There was no sovero roasting from
the parties mentioned and I desire
to inform you that I was graduated
from a reputable medical college
standing at the head of my class and
receiving the First Honor Medal
therefor Afterwards I obtained a
position in the Medical Service of
the United States whioh I held for
nearly five years and from which I
resigned without pressure or request
from the Government officials I
obtained this position after a Bevere
examination and not by influence
such asfills the offices in Hawaii
and quit the service with tho good
will and respect of my superiors I
am not nervous about being removed
from tho fraternity though if thoy
should do so it will be because I
have not done liko nearly all the
others lost my Americanism and
become the property of the local
sugar interest
