A 1MB DEFENSE
The Advertiser affects in this
mornings issue a defense of the Ex
ecutive in the water incident of laBt
week and on the side ventures a
bolster to the claim of the Mer
chants Association for the expenses
of J G Pratt to Washington on tne
recent junketing tour of that gentle
man in the interest of the fire claims
For a better understanding of the
case the comments of the morning
paper are reproduced
A great deal has been said in the
Legislature and out about the stop
page of the primps of the water sys
tem because of thn shortage of
money for payment of firemen until
a public official personally drew up
on his bank account and advanced
the cash -It might be well for the
legislators and others who are criti
cizing officials to look at the other
side
When the Legislature met the
facts were set before them thtt there
was no oah on hand to carry on the
work of the water bureau that the
appropriation was too small nud
that unless there was a deficiency
provision there would be no means
of carrying on tba pumpina Seventy
five days passed ind nothing was
donp the men were without piy and
they had to quit work to seek a
ohance to earn a living
So mi of the legislators oiled it
criminal to permit tbepunus trstop
They did t o say that the official
should pay the min y rut of their
own pockets but cne influential Re
presentative referred to the fact tl a
it seemed oaBy to seoure funds f r
other purposes such as sending Mr
Pratt to Washington to secure fire
claims funds
It might not be amiss to call at
tention to two facts When the
legislature is in session it and it
alone has authority over the oublia
credit Yet with all the fots before
members thorn is no provision made
for public utilitiec As to officials of
the govornmeLt securing money out
side treasury dues the coura3 of the
legislature in refusing to rpay the
money advanced to send Mr Pratt
to Washington a minion wbinh re
sulted in a clear beneC of 1000000
to the Territory tend tn Rive any
confidence that there would he pro
vision to rpay monif s peoured for
any other purposel The duly nf thn
official is as plain as that of the
legislators andthe faiiuie clearly is
with the latter
Members of the Legislature are
human as is most every other other
man one meets Iu addition to this
Legislators are during sessions
usually burdened with demands
from their individual districts and
have quite all the troubles of their
own that they can conveniently
5iwK3awswiOTy1w Jiai
handle It is not incumbent upop
nor expooted of Legislators to chase
around with a lantorn and teloscopo
in search of the requirements of ex
ecutive departments of a govern
ment It is incumbent however
upon exeoutive officers to make their
wants clearly known to the Legis
lature and to insist upon tho proper
proteotiou of public interests by
that authoiity When this has been
done the duty of the executive has
been fulfilled and judgment of the
caso may reasonably bo passed up
to tho people But in the intimi
dation game of Superintendent
Cooper and Andrew Brown in the
water matter there appoars nothing
to sustain an appeal Looking at it
from eveiy side one can only see the
sullied domarkations of an unholy
attempt to discredit on element of
tile Legislature eupposed to be not
in sympathy with Cooper Dole ond
Brown Had tho seriousness of this
water matter been properly shows
to the Legislature by Mr Cooper a
remedy would have been provided
immediately Mr Cooper well known
that But no he saw in the situ
ation a chance to disoredit the Le
gislatureto make a 1901 grand
sand ply and hedid it Even
after the failure of the LQgisUture
to act there was no excuse for shut
ting cir the water for th3 law dis
tinctly giveB to exeoutive heads the
authority and power to meet emer
gencies and especially those of this
important and vital kind But in
place of Mr Cooper going around
the corner and suggesting to the
treasurer that he wanted 10000 or
150p0 for the emergenoy he giveB
his personal check at some bank in
town for a measly 700 -for effect
and capping the stack of a cheap
raw rotten political impuls
TOPICS OF THE DAY
Comment upon a Court case in
progress of trial is not admissable
but we wish to remark that when
the Mrs Turk case is finished some
one will have felt the ashss of the
ancient Tantalus apple
We find that we have been main
formed in regard to theMalulani
Hospital beef contract Dr Riy
mond did not tender for the beef
contract and therefore he did not
get it and had none to assign over
to the Chinese butcher But it was
through representations msde by
him that the B tard of Trustees was
changed Of course he is visiting
here as the guest of his friend Dr
Cooper

The battleship Wisconsin is more
than welcome in this port She is
the first first clats war vesel to

Tho Hilo Tribune charges that

effect the price of sugar but it again
remtndB one of the importance cf
solidified endeavor in worthy pur
poses and of tho fact that Hilo
brain pans are not equal to the oc
casion There was a time when
sponsors of citizan labor hoped for
something in the Hilo movement
but with tho appearance of the in
numerable faotions and broils of
the Rainy City in the game it may
be counted all off
