WENDESDAY APRIL 22 1903
COUNTY ACT SIGHED
Information was sent to both the
Senate and House before noon today
that the Governor had signed the
County Aot As soon as the House
had taken the usual recess the
members led by Representative Ka
nikogave three rousing cheers And
now our troubles will begin
THE ENGINEERS BILL
At Mondays evening sesBionwhile
a discussion wsb being held on the
Harris not Kupibea bill providing
for the protection of life from oleam
boilers and for the examination of
engineers as well Mr GhiUingworlll
of the Fourth District made an im
passioned speech in behalf of Ha
waiian engineers and in his remarks
showed that he believed in the em
ployment of Asiatics on sugar plan
tation engines and boilers He said
that the bill intended to work a
hardship on Hawaiians and none
believed in seeing the few remaining
Hawaiians this with muesli empha
sis pushed further to the wall
He began blazing away at the
hardships sought to be placed on
the Hawaiians but be forgot to
state how Tvhen and where they
are handicapped and by whom their
chance to earn a livelihood is to be
placed in jeopardy It was evident
from his remarks that he was speak
ing for the employers of labor and
not for those employed and for
whom he affected such concern
The bill is a white mans measure
Its promoters are looking out for
the protection of their own race as
against the others and we feol that
if it is good for the whito man it
should also be good for the native
or brown mna And wo also feel
that a native who is an engineer of a
particular engine if he is any kind
of a man with a certain amount of
knowledge or horse sense as
others may call it he should have
the same opportunity as any white
man to loaru theoretically all about
that particular pieoo of machinery
nod its workings and mayhap in
time pass a croditablo examination
How about our captain mates aud
others on our inter island steamors
and sailors They have all passed
examinations and aro certificated
men and no hardship has as yet
been imposed upon them for thoy
aro all earning thoir livelihood at
their vocation
And Mr Chillingworth would have
us believe otherwise On ruany of
our plantations Asiatics have sup
planted Hawaiians in running tho
steam plows in doing the inside
maohinory mill work in running
pumping plants and so forth Why
Because they work much cheaper
And on traction engines Asiatics are
employed on many plantations in
place of Hawaiians because they
are willing to work for one half and
even less than the pay paid Ha
waiians
But Metsrs OhillingworlhKaniho
and others who opposed and killed
the bill yesterday may not see in it
the outrage to Hawaiian as we do
Though the measure is killed tin
loss recjusidererl for this session it
is a measure that will come up in
the future and probably be adopted
in two or moro years without diffi
culty But for the present it may
be well to let it take a slight rest
and thereby assist those employers
of labor who do not care to see this
measure enacted just as yet but it
has to come and will Burely crime
TOPICS OF THE- DM
A franchise about to expire should
be renewed if applied for but not
as an exclusive one Certain limi
tations sboud be made but 35 years
renewal is too long even for one ai
re idy established Ten or fifteen
years should be sufficient
A petition addressed to the Gov
ernor is being circulated among
business men strongly urging that
tho Pauoa water bill b9 vetoed The
more tho public probes into the
mysteries of this deal the less is it
pleased with it Thin is as The
Independent anticipated The moro
the public investigates the less still
will it like the transaction
When it was announced in the
House last evening that the Senate
had passed the bill appropriating
5C00 for breakwater and wharf at
Ealaupapa Speaker Beokley re
marked with oyidences of pleaxuro
that the Third District bad gotten
the first emergency bill through It
may so turn out but this bill along
with many others has yet to run
the gauntlet of executive judgment
and an oQioial goose quill and may
have to cross the lino in the
bunoh
Vice Speaker Knudsen was tech
nically right the other day in refus
ing to allow Ifcprentativo Ealama
to change his vote after tho result
bad beeu aunouncedbeing sustained
by Rule 51 But in a case of this
partioujar kind where a member or
membor3 wish tc shift in order to
make a voto uuanimous no harm
can comn of it aud the chair is al
lowed considerable latitude Mr
Kalama was alone in voting in the
negative and hi desire to chauge
brought tho situation up to a point
where the Vice Speaker could have
gratified the desire without spring
ing the tautneflj of the hides on the
Rules
A LErrEIl TO HAWAII 8W3
From tho Bishop of Honolulu to
Thoso Under His Spiritual Ouargo
To the Members of the Hawaiian
Congregation St Andrews
Cathedral
My Dear Friends
1 am very sorry that an engage
ment whioh on consultation with
Mr Fitz I did not consider it wise
to give up prevents my being with
you this evening However Mr Fitz
considered that it would do just as
well for me to meet the Committee
after it was elected in faot he
thought perhaps it would be better
in many ways
I want to assure you of my deep
interest in the maintenance of the
Hawaiian service To this end I have
tried to relieve Mr Fitz of school
work bo that he give can more
time to pastoral visiting and other
parochial work I intend to perfect
plans so that all of bis time shall bo
given to you
I belinva that if earnest work Is
done that tho Hawaiian Congregn
tion will grow in numbers and in
fluence But this can only bo
brought about by the real interest
of the people The matter of the
voy first importance is that overy
Hawaiian who is a Churchman
shall ateud the services It is
most discouraging to a olergyman
to find a mere handful at service
It was Bhown on Christmas and
Eister Day that if people would
oo mo to Church we should have
good congregations There is no
good reason that those who belong
to us do not come It is of tho ut
most importance to Hawaiians that
thoy maintain a hold on religion
I believe that the order dignity and
beauty of a well rendered service of
the Church is especially adapted to
tho Hawaiian nature which loves
beauty and a proper outward sym
bolism of inward truths and feel
ings I believe if our Hawaiian
people will unite in an earnest effort
we can build up a large and influen
tial congregation I am anxious
and eager to do any thing I oan to
prornota tbjfl
I believe also that in np belter
way can a knowledge and use of
good Hawaiian ba preserved than
in the constant use of tho Church
service
Everywhere I have been I have
told Hawaiians this and they have
been interested At Hilo we haye
a good oupleus of earnest Hawaiians
and already the Rev Sidney Morgan
has I balioyesorne yested Hawaiian
boys in his choir -
But Honolulu is the heart and
aenttr of tho lelinds Wo must
show Btrangth ana earnestness at
the center before we can expect
much outside
I novo had iu tnjnd as a beginning
a guild called paihaps the Hawaiian
Guild in Eogliab I would have a
very simple rule something like
this
I A B Rromisa that I will at
tend the Hawaiian servjee at St
Andrews Cathedral on each Lords
Day unless I have a reasonable ex
cuse I will endeavor to encourage
other Hawaiians to do the same
This perhaps with a smple prayer
to be offered daily would suffice
I think perhaps it was best for
you to meet and talk over matters
freely without rre aud then at any
time you appoint I will let every r
thing go and meat yoq pr your potn
mittos to oonsider nnUarj
The Hawaiian Qongrogaljon
should under this arrangement have
a Treasurer la addition to tho
offerings thero should be an effort
made to obtain subscriptions pay
able quarterly or perhaps batter
monthly There are nnrtain exnon
BbB to be met aud iu eddition you
should add to the salary which Mr
Fitz how gets a definite Bum Tho
committee when it is elected will
atteud to this In addition I think
it advisable at onoo to organise tho
ladies of tho congregation jtHn
some society or gu Id that thoy may
engage in definite work
Although Mr Fitz and I have
talked mny times about the Ha
waiian Congregation wo both felt
bat before I endeavored to push
matters I had better make a careful
study of tho wholo matter I be
lieve now that I understand tho
needs and see what should be done
if you will cooperate with tn I be
lieve excellent work oan bo done
but I fuel very strongly that the
very first thing is to gat our pen
plo to bo regular at service If wo
cant got that we can dt but little
The Church occupies a position
whioh should attract Hawaiians
The two preceding Bishops have
been trusted friends of the Ha
waiians I hope by my conduot to
gain your respect and affection I
believe that I understand your feel
ings and my heart has an intente
desire to b of help to you all I
believe if you are loyal aud truu to
the Church and will work with
me we can gain a Urge number of
those who have drifted away from
religion because of past difficulties
We have an opportunity I believe
I hope and pray that wo may take
advantage of it in holding Hawaii
ans from drifting info irreligion
Commending you to God and tho
upbuilding by His Graca
Faithfully and affectionately
yours
