TUESDAY MAY a 19W
AN IMUMl MOVE
Thoidea of tending a newspaper
man to StLouii to repreient Ha
waii before tho congiRii of editors
is eminently proper and wise It ia
a drive at tho fountain head of
everything that in of Talue in the
nay of advertising The man from
Honolulu will meet faoe to faae at
St touis the men who ahapo the
opinions of the nation and fire the
impulses of the people in every
diraotion inoludlng that of where
they will spend their Wintersand
their Summers The onltstawnt of
one these meu in the cause
of Hawaii would bo north more
than a shipload of literature pro
nisouousiy distributed and all the
good that thousands of dollars ex
ponded for such expadisnts could
possibly bring
The Legislature appropriated the
sum of 0000 for the circulation of
Freziera handbook of Hawaii most
of which were to go to St Louis
The Torritory not being represent
ed at the expositor it is to be pre
turned that those handbooks have
bend pigeon holed somewhere To
get these books together and see
that every newspaper edjtor presrmt
at tho coming convention gets one
will be a most important work of
the editorial representative from
Hawaii anil if this is done and it
will undoubtedly be done now the
money expended on these hand
books msyyot be made to yield

many times over To F W Maofor
laqo belongs the orodlt of suggest
iag the Bonding of a nt nspaper rep
ressntatlvo to St Louie and la doing

HOT LOSING ANY SLEEP
The Ikdipendknt wishes to em
phatically state to the Adv rtlier
that Mr Testa is not losing an sloep
jovor us aisirancnissmiuii proposi
tion bneonsi it deems there is noth
ing in it other tban a clear case of
wind puff and bluff As to tho pro
vision of tho Organio Aot Saetion
18 it is dear to any tyro in legal
lore let alouo a school boy to toe
through it and is as pHtiu to a blind
man that he con also too through it
whether by day or by uight and
whether by sunlight or starlight or
moonlight it would bi all tho same
No amount of legal quibbling or
piddling experiments could hold
sufficient water to disfranchise
Tosta we are not now spoahing of
Meheula as he has not yet been
sentenced as he was not sentenced
to any imprisonment whatever but
only to a fine or money penalty In
order to disqualify Teste he must
first shall have been convioted of
any oriminal offense puntstable by
imprisonment whethor with or with
out hard labor for a term exceeding
one year whether with or without
fine which Judge Dole did not
impose to satisfy the appetite of
Walter Gifford Smith for something
dark andtoothsomoand that with
out roBorting to the assistance of a
dictionary we darent say anything
more for fear of again being held
and scored for mailing obscene
matter Further than thie there
ia no pressing need for seeking
pardon nor of restoration to civil
rights whioh we claim that there is
no need for any alarm over it on
Testas part as his civil rights still
remain intaet When the time
comes for registration he will be
found on hand
TOPICS OF TAB DAY
That lobster must have laid
heavy on Walter Gs atomaob for in
all verity he has been jabbering on
having found a mares nest and now
talks the disfranchisement of Testa
Go it old boy I
For good and clear reading take
the Morning Exception and Exclu
sion as its Sunday Bystander is an
exponent of piddling experiments
with regard to low fare in advertis
ing Hawaii getting tourists etc
The battle at the Yalu rivor seems
to be claimed by both sides The
Japanese claim a signal victory
while the Russians claimed to have
retired by provious arrangement It
is not recorded however that the
Ruesins hsd ptearranged to leave
one third of their artillery and a
large number of prisoners behind
If Dr Oooper can succeed in get
ting a Federal appropriation for
the maintenance of the Molokai
settlement he will have accomplish
ed a groat deal It is not Buppoeed
however that the central govern
ment will expend a large sum of
money for cuch a purpose without
some return and right thero comes
the stickler We object and will
always object to Molokai being
made the dumping ground for pa
tients from Abroad It will not only
be unsatisfactory to our own un
i
MHHiUKgMUJff
fortunates at tho settlement but will
give tho Islands a black oyii If Dr
Cooper can secure an appropriation
under torms that will leave tho set
tlement under local control and
subject only to local rule then wo
say go ahead But not otherwise
If the Hill line of steamers can bo
induced to call at Honolulu a most
important step in tho direelion of
promoting tourist travol will have
boon accomplished What is wanted
in Hawaii is lower passenger rales
To realize Buoh competing lines of
steamships are absolutely neaossary
Honolulu has for far too long boon
the victim of a steamship monopoly
and it io high lime that tho turn
should be called
If it ia the desire to eilenrin The
Independent there can be only one
way and that is to either soud Testa
to jiil or deport him out of his
country BefOro either courao can
be justly taken free speech must be
subdued and then gag him into sub
mission at tho stake of obloquy and
perdition In our opinion Walter
G will have to get out of the
try bolore we ever will ao he is only
a bird of pasjsgd as againnt our
domestication k -
Wo ore informed that it is thn He
airo of those opposing The Indepen
dent to find out who a behind us
tendering us assistance oither
morally financially or otherwise as
well us giving us physical and mater
ial aid If that is really their object
then they have a hard row to hoe
oven if thoy are driven to deBpera
tion they will have to first silence
ub in tho dust than divulge any
thing incriminating against ouyono
for we know of VDne other than our
selves Being responsible wo are
what we are and nothing else
Bergefa motley band is liable to
cutaU sorts of ice at St Louis where
it will run up against tho best bands
of the world aint it T The follow
ing from the Worlds Fair reports
shows what calibre of barids will
attend the exposition The cele
brated First Royal Marine Band of
Germany one of the finost in the
world will bo one of tho attractions
at the Worlds Fair The members
are all six footers and the band is
the crdck military band of the Ger
man Empire Ithas a repertoire of
1500 compositions
The Marine baseball players are
showing themselves to be a team
that will have to be seriously reckon
ed with In Saturdays game they
ran up against ono of the best leama
of the League hut it took that team
fourteen innings to make tho dooid
scoro We aro pleased al tho rooord
of the Marine for the reaeon that
thoy were nottWatecl right from
the start Every effort was made
by the competing clubs to keep
them out of tho League Thoy got
thero anyhow and if they win the
Bonaoufl pennanh the League will
have gotten what it richly deserved
In refusing to acoept the position
of deputy sheriff of Waimea because
lip was required to take the oath to
the Republican party Johu Wise
did something highly commendable
ond somothicg for which he will not
be forgotten The Territory is inter
ested a little farther than that in
the matter however Wise is a man
entiroly satisfactory to the Govern
ment for the position of deputy
sheriff in the district referred to or
he would not bavo boon offered tho
place But tho samo Government
plaonn tho value of a party oath
abovo that of a maus btaius nnd
capabilities Hows that for running
a government T
