Tfce Bwetaei of the Governor of Hawaii aroidlBR bis plain duty in an 9tort to ratee mosey for tb necessary oxpenees of the Territory and 0Btng about as a begsar among the MMtaotW men of this city ashing for alias to carry the affairs of tie Ter ritory along Hi the humiliating night bow being presented to the people of YfeKufl. As Chief Bxecatlrc of thr Torritory. Oovemor Dole has at band . leai aa proper remedy through Vktafe to secure all aeceasary funds r the Territory without begglug for ifea. It is well to remember in this connection that the chief blame for the . present inaacial condition of the Territory reels upon the present Territorial administration. With the of the Territory there Mime a great change in the financial eoMOitione. One million dollars is income from cHetoms wss cut off. Large receipts (rum the poet office wore cut off as J1 as eome other sources of With theee changed conditions, did Governor Dole, when the Legislature mot. eall attention to thorn and recommend any changoti in the ofilcos aitf salaries? Did he suggest to the LagtBtaUtre that offices that hero and there are only ornamental under thr Territory should be abolished? Did he ftttCKeat a cut of ten per cent, o. m other amount, in salaries for twr ears so as to enable the Treasury U noeommotUte itself to the new order of things? No Indeed. He recommended appropriations for in ovcetm of those for the last two years previons to the organization of the Territory. For salaries alone for this llttie Territory ho tho legislature to appropriate the Hum of $1,250,000 per annum and in roaponse to his request the legislature appropriated that amount. Hut he made no recommendation as to how the umuey to pay this exorbitant and extravagant .vaiarj role was to be raised. Later, In the oxtra bession, Acting Governor Cooper did recommend th passage of a loan bill by tho Legis laturc, but that body having been called in extra session for n specific purpose could not comply with Mr. Cooper's recommendation. If Mr. Dole can go on begging mon ey to carry ou the government for two years, why cannot ho do the same thing for four years' If he can usurp the powers of the Legislature now, why not usurp them at, all times? Why can ho not In carrying tbls mat ter to Its logical conclusion go on borrowing money and spending It as he directs and then when the next Legislature meets merely ask that body to appropriate money to pay John Doe for money loaned to the Governor and so on adlnfinitum. In this way tit Legislature would became perfunctory body to affirm the legislative acts of the executive branch of the Territorial government- It is not a spectacle to bo proud cf hat of the Governor of this wealth' Territory going about begging money to pay the Territory's bills whon there te a proper and logal "way to secure ample funds for all Its needs. BAD GRAMMAR A DISEASE. It lq as ramUiar precept, justified Uy much careful obseivation and practical experience, that the ability to spI correctly comes by nature. It has often been noticed that the chiWroe in one family who "take after" & mother who happens to be a good speller are also good spellers, while the chitdien who. resemble the father, who may happen to be an er ratic orthographies arc. characterised by his fantastic orthography. The fact is physiologically accounted' for on the ground that the good speller of tha. English language is the per son' who is governed by the risual tnoinory. and who consequently has th&wcird pic tared in bt mind's eye. lust as it is in the dictionary pr the spelling book or the newspaper, and spells it as he thus sees it. The person, who spells incorrectly Is he who possesses the aural memory who spells, as It were by ear; and the ear is no guide to the spelling of the .English language. As the vbual memory may "be inherited so the aural memory may be Inherited, and the good or bad spelling which goes with them may truly com bs nature. And cow there arises a certain German professor, Dr. Ernest by name, who maintains that bad grammar may also be congenital. He 'traces lapses in tenses, numbers and moods to organic causes, and to actual inflammation of certain brain cells, a predisposition to which may be Inherited. He even calls the disease "grammaticitls." This appears sdentlScally to be a misnomer, since the disorder can hardly be dlagncsed as an Inflammation of the grammar; but undoubtedly it will serve well enough as a popular designation. And Dr. Liebmann holds out the notion that the disease may be cured with medicines, fortified with such accessory treatment as regular exercise, proper diet, and possibly a little occa stonal attention to the grammar. If there Is really an organic cause for bad grammar. It would seem to be related in some way to the stam mering affliction, and possibly ma; be reached through the medulla ob longata. However, we are inclined to think that for the present the schoolmaster will be the safest physician to Intrust with the charge of persons suffering from the malady and that the surgical faculty should not too soon felicitate themsehes on tho prospect of having their business increased by the call to patch up dislocated numbers and tenses, and prescribe for aggravated outbreaks of "between you and I's" and "he THOSE RESOLUTIONS OF HOME RULE REPUBLICANS. There was no dodging or hedging by the Heme Rule Republicans at the mass mesting at the drill shed last nlghL The resolutions adopted, which are printed in full elsewhere, speak for themselves. They give notice to those advancing money to tho Territory upon the personal solicitation of the Governor, that they are doing so at their own risk. The Home Rule Republicans hold that there is a legal and just way for the Governor to secure ail necessary funds for thf maintenance of the Territory's credit nnd for the prosecution of necessary public works and so long as this lega method Is not used they declare that they will oppose the repayment Ir the next Legislature of money obtain ed by the Governor in what they con sider illegal methods. That the resolutions concerning Secretary Cooper will do more to hurt the present Territorial administrate n than anything else, there is no gainsaying. The exclusion of the Asiatic from the mainland has been very thoroughly discussed nnd one of tht concessions that had to be made In order to secure the passage of the Newlnnds resolution was that providing for the extension of the ex elusion act to Hawaii. Secretary Cooper. in advocating letting down the bars foi the admission of more Chinese to Hawaii has done the Territory Incalculable harm. The resolutions adopted last night will call attention anew to Mr. Cooper's position on the labor question andwil' arouse all the labor elements of as nothing else has aroused them in recent years over the sub ject of Asiatic immigration. The resolutions referring to Mr. Coopei bring out facts and figures concern Ing the present labor situation In Hawai which it would have been far better for the sugar Interests had they never been made public. TRYING TO LEVY A DOUBLE TAX. The desperate straits to which the Territorial administration Is pushed, by its extravagance, to try to raise mono-, is well illustrated by the notices sent out yesterday from the office of the Superintendent of Public Works, notifying people whose houses are counected with the sewers that their sewer rates for the year ending December 31st. 1902. are due nnc" payable on the first day of Januarv. 1902. and that failure to pay the samej within fifteen days after they become due wfll cause the connections to be cut off. In othr words people must pay sewer rates for one year in ad vance or their sewer connection wlil bo peremtorily cut off. What authority there is for attempt ing to collect sewer rates from the people The Republican has not been able to ascertain. Certainly there I? nothing in' any laws on the statute books providing for such a hold ur nor did the act of the executive ell providing for the construction of the sewers make any provisions for the payment ot extra sewer rates by the people. The sewers were built' out of public money collected by gen era! taxation. They are maintained in the same way. .The Legislature at Its recent session appropriated money frm the general Ur levy of the Territory for the extension ot the sewer system In Kewa'o and for the salary roll for the care of the sewers. It appropriated money for the salaries of the sewer and plumbing inspector and his assistant and yet it is proposed to make the people who have had their bouses ctanected with the THE HONOLULU REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1901. sewers pay a double tax through' the! aroJtxarjr collection of a sewer rate. It would be just as logical and jast aa legal to attempt to collect a street rate from every Individual for the nee of the streets, Sewers are recog: niied everywhere as just as necessary as public streeie and like streets they are maintained and cared for out of the general tas levy. Of coarse there are certain rules and. governing the makim" of connections with the sewers. In the interest of the "ublic health, but It is always held In every city that the use of the sewers should be free to all jast as are the streets and schools. The Territory Is hard pressed for funds but it is well not to attempt such illegal ways of holding people up for money as to try to collect double taxation for the use of the sewers. In making the recommendation he did concerning the letting down of the bars for the Chinese in Hawaii. Secretary Cooper seems to have done the sugar interests of the Territory more harm than can be counteracted in many years. Air. cooper seems to have striven to fill that pation de scribed by ex-Speaker Reed, who, in speaking of a member of Congress one time, said the gentleman never opened his mouth without extracting from the sum total of human knowledge. REPORTS ABOUT PANAMA. Uthmus Said to Be in the Hands of the Insurgents. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. The Herald prints the following: T7 . J. . . ,. I rroiu a suurce 01 iniormauon on tile sltuation In Colombia which has thus j far furnished no news not subsequent ly verified by wire, has been received the copy of a cablegram saying that the city of Panama has fallen and is in the complete control of the Liberal party.

Dr. Restropo, who is the head of the junta here, said: "All foreign interests will be protected. The isthmus will be kept open md tho Panama railroad guarded from guerrilla attack, if necessary. Everywhere its government Is established the rights of foreigners will" bo secure." RAISES RELIGIOUS QUESTION. May be Rock to Break Franco-Rus sian Alliance. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. The recent violent conflict in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, at Jerusalem, between Franciscans and Greek orthodox monks, says the Berlin correspondent of tho London Times and the New York Times, is regarded by several German newspapers as an event of some significance. The Vossischo Zeitung ironically asserts that France, as "protector of the Roman Catholics in the Orient," must now demand compensation from Emperor Nicholas as protector of the Greek church, for the Injuries sustained bv the Franciscans. The correspondent adds that in i tain continental quarters it is regard- j ed as possible that- Syria may be the rock upon which the Franco-Russian alliance will one day be split. RUSSIA'S GREAT RAILWAY. Last Rail of the Manchurian Line Has Been Laid. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Additional advices received by the London Times and the New York Times from SL Petersburg announce that the last rail of the Northern Manchurian railway was laid on Monday, the anniversary of the coronation of Emperor Nicholas.

The construction of the railroad around the lake will not be finished for some years. The line connecting Port Arthur with the Northern Manchurian rail- j way Is now open.

Through Proceedings in the Fed eral Court Street Railway Case Goes Over Till Friday. A temporary writ of injunction! against James H. Boyd. Superintend ent of Public Works 3nd Cotton Bros., to stop the-construction of the new Territorial wharf now1 being built east of the railroad wharf, was Issued yesterday morning by United States Judge Estee. The motion will come up for hearing at 2 o'clock this afternoon and the rights of the petitioners determined. In its complaint the railroad claims that the Secretary of War has already laid down the boundaries of the Harbor of Honolulu and that certain portions have been set apart for the purposes of navigation within the limits of which no obstruction can lawfully be placed- It is alleged that the complainant corporation is the owner of land fronting upon said line of navigation, and that the parties sought to be enjoined were without right or warrant driving spiles in the navigable waters of the harbor and constructing a whan beyond the harbor lines established by the Secretary of War. Special damage is alleged by reason of the cutting off of complainants land from the navigable waters. The complaint .. .i, n n jv 1 , sworn to by Marie P. Robinson, urer of the O. R. c U company. Hatch & Silliman appear as attorneys for the complainant. The injunction suit of the Hawaiian Tramways Company against the Rapid Transit Company was set over until Friday morning. A lengthy affidavit is on file, being that of Manager W. II. Pain of the Tramways Company. A history of the Tramways Company from its beginning is given, together with a careful account of Mr. Pain's connection with it. The case was postponed until Friday to allow proof to be exhibited of Manager Pain's authority from the Hawaiian Tramways Company. This authority was warmly disputed by the attorneys for the Rapid Transit Company. Pain's attorneys, J. T. De Bolt and J. L Dunne, endeavored to show that Pain is the duly authorized representative of the London corporation in Hawaii, and the lengthy affidavit is to this effect. Treasurer 'Wright and Chief Clerk Wright of the Public Works De-1 partment were called upon to produce documents showing the company's compliance with the Hawaiian statutes requiring that foreign corporations shall appoint a resident representative in Hawaii, on whom legal processes may be served. 'A copy of the articles of the association as filed years ago was produced by Treasurer Wright. There was no memoranda to show when it was filed. The attorneys for the Rapid Transit Company assert that the Tramways Company has failed to comply with the law in several respects as regards the filing of papers in Hawaii. J. H. Taylor & Company, blacksmiths, yesterday filed application for papers of bankruptcy. Their liabilities are placed at ?15G5.64 and their assets at ?S24.70. The jnatter of C. T.

MARIE, Nov. 1. It ib not generally known, but it Is a fact, that tliis city is the scene of one of the largest fisheries In the United States. The Soo Is the headquarters of probably the largest branch of a lare fish supply house, there being 175 men on the pay roll. It is not the only one of the producing stations, but it is the center for the receipt ot fish from I.ake Superior and their distribution in cold storage to the various headquarters of the company in the large cities. The branch here "receives all the catch from the eastern end of the lake, having fisheries at White FIs,h Point and at Grand 3Jarals, on the south shore, and tho company's operations extend for a distance of 200 miles up the north shore, covering eight stations in Canada. The local branch employs seven tugs and a big fleet of smaller craft, while two coastwise passenger steamers are used in the transportation ot fish to the Soo pond. Gill nets are j used to catch fish, and are tended by j the tugs and sailing boats. Each tug j has charge of six "gangs' of the gill j nets, each gang consisting ot eight miles ot nets, and it requires five days , time, working with steam Mte, tor one tug to make Its rounds." Thefish caught in the vicinity are whitefish. lake trout, blue fins, sturgeon and yellow and grass pike. The yearly catch is 3.000.000 nounds. and in addition the company buys a considerable amount from small fishermen along the lake and river.
