POPUIiAHITY OF PRESIDENTS
Admiral Dewey is after the scalp
of President McKinley and Govern
or Roosevelt b uot far behind the
gallant admiral The following in
terview with David Starr Jordan
shows the estppm in which McKin
ley is held by Roosevelt
Washington April 4 A special
dispatt h fr tin ludiauapoli gireB
this remarkable iTKtrvlew had there
with David Starr Jordan
Isit Bryans or MoKinleys view
that is gaining among the people
was asked
He answered
After all this tallr do you ask
what I think Let me quote you
Governor Roosevelt on that He
said to mo last week Jordan T wish
to God we wf re out of the Philip
pines aud had them r ff our hands
and many other Republicans are
thinking the same I fool free to
quote Roosevelt because I consider
him in many repwt3 noe of the
greatest men of the Republican
party
How do you size up President
McKinley
Let me quote Governor Roose
velt again Ho said MoKinley has
about as much backbone as the toy
chocolate man that you see on the
confectioners stand He is a dread
ful disappointment
Presidents are evidently not treat
ed with velvet gloves at present
when McKinley is likened to a toy
chocolate man in the United
Stales and President Dole of Ha
waii has impressed even his former
faithful followers with tb9 impres
sion that he is politically only fib for
a Bock Beer sign
TOPICS OF THE DAY
When the Advertiser informs an
anxious community whether it is the
organ of the Republicans Democ
rats Populists or the Family Com
paot pure and simple Tue Indepen
dent will state what we are at
It is Bafe to Bay thatjPrinoe Oupid
did not furnish the material for the
sensational interview which appear
ed recently in a Sunday number of
the Call The alleged interview is
bristling with errors and devoid of
common sonse Wo dont believe
that the two young aliis havo any
intention of leaving the land of
their birth Their duty is towards
these islands to which they owe
their existence their fortune and
their rank and their motto is al
ways Noblesse Oblige
The Manila correspondent of the
Hong Kong Telegraph of March
31st received by the S S Coptic
says
It would seem that the new Taft
CnraraUsion will pxoerience great
difficulty in establishing civil gov
ernment in the island for it is re
ported from several of the chief
provinces that the natives decline to
accept office of any kind at the
hauds of the American authorities
It is said too that the natives are
destroying their houses villages and
towns and crops and fleeing to the
mountains in thousands They
seem determined that the invaders
shall rule if at all only over the
ashes of the towns and- over vast
uninhabited plains and valleys
The residents belonging to tho
Republican party will meet on Wed
nesday next for the purpose of
organizing It is rumored that the
meeting is the result of a caucus
presided over by P C Jones whose
affiliation to the Republiuau party
has frequently been demonstrated
since hn dropped the Democrats
Wo expect that within a few weeks
an effort will bo made to organizo a
Democratic party with some dis
gruntled republican at the head
If the spiel amuses the boys let
them goat it we simply warn the
Hawaiian party to stand nloof and
decliue to plodgo themselves to any
combination with which they can
have no possible business or sym
pathy The large majority of the
meu who will vote at the first terri
torial election has no reason to take
part in the national politics of the
Republic with which they are not
yet acquainted Their efforts must
simply b3 to secure a legislature
which will look after the best inter
ests of our territory which will pro
tect the oitizens of the territory
against encroachments of trusts
corporations aud adventurers and
which will at all time remember
that Hawaii shall bo for the Ha
waiians
Overheard

An Impudent Vagrant
Southerland who has recently
been under special police observa
tion and experienced a term in jail
was brought before the magistrate
this morning charged with vagrancy
Mr Southerland was apparently
very lame when ordered to stand be
fore the judge and when the charge
was read he defiantly asked what
the violation of the vagrancy laws
meant in this country The judge
remarked that he was not sitting as
a professor in law but that the de
fendant would probably find prac
tical experience in regard to the
meaning of vagrancy which would j
have a moro striking effect than any
tneones advanced on the subject
Southerland was sent to jail for 60
days and becoming insolent aud
noisy and abusing the Marshal tho
Court and everybody else was
given an extra 10 days imprison
ment for contempt of Court
