TOPICS OF THE DAY
The cause of righteousness pre
vailed on Saturday The church and
the Joss houBe went down but The
Independent was saved and now
stands as a lone mile stone in the
burnt out district
Marshal Brown wbb the only high
official who who didnt lose his head
on Saturday His force was a credit
to the country and the boys learned
that it is not all beer and skittles to
be a police officer
It is not easy to control two thou
sand Asiatics who have good reason
to feel nasty and are coped up in
tents and in a haole church The
manner in which the men of the 6th
Artillery detailed for sentinel duty
did their work since Saturday de
serves the highest praise The dis
cipline and tact displayed by the
regulars should be a lesson to our
beloved N G H
Why is it that the streets were
filled this morning with woman and
children The Sanitary Committee
the Board of Health and the presB
have aaked our good ladies to stay
at home at present and yet they
have to drive around do a little
shopping which could be done by
telephone and just take a glance at
the ruins from the Cre If they per
sist we suggest that the town be
closed by authority
Mr Singer is a broken hearted
man His bakery cannot fill the
enormous orders for bread and yet
he reads in a paper that Judge Wil
cox is sprinkling flour on his pre
mises instead of lime Singer is
closely watching the raise in the
price of the Judges poi and will
follow suit in regard to his bread
We advice the boss baker to ubo poi
for cementing purppses until the
Judge stops usjng flour for disin
fenting purposes
A complaint has reached us that
Some uncouth whelps we regret to
say of Gorman nationality are mak
ing themselves obnoxious to sohio
ladies living on one of our main
thoroughfares We call the atten
tjon of the young men to the fact
that Judge Wilcox has very little
patience with cattle of that descrip
tion and that it will be greatly more
satisfactory to the male relatives of
the ladies to see the alleged gentle
men in jail than to seeing them
thrashed
We have frequently called atten
tion tq the unpardonable ignorance
of persons who talk about white
people in contrast to Portuguese
It is especially unfortunate that
buoIi au expression should be made
at a semi public or oflioial meeting
and cause an illfeeltng Tho ignor
ant fellow talking has of course
never been in Europe where the
Portuguese at all times are con
sidered and treated as the most
polite aristocratic and socially ex
clusive nation in the world
The fire has taught many a lesou
to the public Among them is one
which should lead all householders
to have some firo extinguishers ou
their premises Those for which O
W Macfarlaue is agent wore very
useful on Saturday and were worked
with good results during tho big
conflagration We understand that
they are not expensive and especially
with a crippled fire department
would prove very valuable
The dear little children who are
enjoying a long vacatiou should rea
lize that a few old toys will be a
blessing to the poor children who
are having a forced vacation at the
detention camps And the good
housewives may also remember that
any old children clothings will be
accepted with thanks by the gentle
men in charge of the camps Let
the kids clothes he discarded
Papa will buy new ones for the next
twins
We suggest that the guarding of
the infected district be somewhat
modified now Guards should be
employed to prevent any persons
entering the burnt lands but there
is really no reason while the block
on Nuuanu and King streets should
not be opened There hasnt been
a case in that block and the services
of the soldiers are needed elsewhere
There is no fear now of Chinese
breaking through the lines because
there are no Chinese left in the in
fected district They are now under
the tower of Kawaiahao church
The noble work of the fire depart
ment during the recent fires should
be well rewarded It is perhaps too
early to make any suggestions but
we think that a purse should be
made to give each of the boys in the
regular service we think there are
about 45 100 each The diamond
ornamented badges which as souve
nirs should be giveti to Chief Hunt
and Commissioners Brown Fisher
and Crozier we leave to the fair sex
who ui lb95 remembered the gallant
officers of the police The ladies are
all here and the hat might as well
be passed around now
We were surprised when the Coun
cil of State proposed to appropriate
5200000 for the purpose of paying
our rich wholesale house the amounts
of the noteB due them by Chinese
storekeepers The fire on Saturday
prevented the meeting of the Coun
cil at whiob the item undoubtedly
would have passed in spite of the op
position of Minister Damon and a
few Councillors who held that it was
wise to pay the poor people who
have lost all their first and secondly
consider the claims of the owners
of the merchandise The merchan
dise is burnt now and we see no
reason why any appropriation should
be made at present We all know
that it is a religious idea of Chinese
to settle their accounts before Chi
nese New Years and we have no
doubt thfjt the foreign wholesale
houses would feel very happy if
their debtors were allowed to finger
200000 from the public treasury
and through appeal to their honor
and vague promise bo induced to
nieoi their notes for their burnt
goods The nigger in the fepce is
too conspicuous and we hope our
millionaire merchants will be made
to wait for their nlaims until every
oue of the poor devils who lost their
all have received what kind of com
pensation a just Government will
allott to them
