To The Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser !:
SIR The sensible editorials which have lately ap-
peared in your columns in regard 10 needed reforms
to be brought before the coming legislature, prompts
me to hope that you will lend q small space in your
paper to the consideration Of a matter Of importance
in the administration of justice.
l allude to the matter Of hearing the testimony Of
the parties to a suit or of prisoners on their trial
for criminal ofenses. The experiment has been made
in several of the United States, notably in CalifOr-
mia. and with the most beneficial result.
In many cases, facts are known only to the accus-
ed which may be Of vital Importance in the decision
Of the case, and such facts can only be eliminated
by his testimony.
OF course such evidence must be weighed by the
jury, taking into consideration the amount Of inter-
est the accused may have and his character for truth
and veracity, and only giving the credence due it I;
but, for all that, if the accused knows facts which
are necessary for the showing Of the truth, the jury
ought to have them.
1 do not want to be understood, that q prisoner
should be compelled to testify but merely to be al
owed to do 30, for otherwise he might be obliged TO
criminate himself, or at least prejudice himself In
the minds Of the jury, and that would be contrary
to all rules of justice.
1t is to be hoped that the legislature will consider
this subject as Of enough importance to act upon,
and will pass an act allowing such testimony.
Yours Truly, JUS.

To the Editor Of Tie Pacific Commercial advertiser:
SIR: Hearing horrid shrieks Of blasphemy and
terror such as would put one in mind of hell, / rush
ed out the house to see what was the matterl Look
ing into the yard near by, I saw two natives
(both as drunk as they could stand) in deadly con-
fict. One having succeeded in getting the other
down and was trying to choke or stife him. Not
being able to do this, he reached out his hand and
grasped a stone nearly as large as q mans head,
and with both hands was aiming q blow which would
have broke the head Of his Frustrated victim. This
was fortunately averted by a friendly lOOker-on who,
at his own peril snatched the weapon from his hands
and saved q murder.
Now Mr.. Editor, in the name Of humanity / ask,
is it not time that the good people Of every class rise
III the majesty Of right and demand who it is that
is responsible for this state Of things? We all know
that natives generally, as well as many others, are
unable to resist the temptation Of drink, and these
need the protection and guardianship Of government,
and it is their duty to give it.
If g ship should arrive here with an infectious
disease on board, she would very probably be quar-
antined. But where is the quarantine for rum1

Nh EDIroR.-During the present political excite
ment in which economy is one Of the outcries, il
seems a little contradictory in the Gasene-though
not strange-that it should advocate pensions TO old
servants of the Government, as was done in its issue
Of March 10. The finances Of the country can i'll
afford salaries to its numerous officials, nor are just
the right men readily found to fill the right places.
Perhaps the editor deemed this an excellent way
Of getting rid Of a public servant to make room for
the appointment of himself, or Of some one who
could be influenced to allow him the freedom Of the
MAIL BAGS.

THE CAUSE.-THE City Fathers of New York
have recently passed a law, which was approved
by the Mayor, that provides that s. a Magistrate
NAV have killed or removed from the city limits any
dog whose barking or bowling may annoy any sick
person or citizens generally, the testimony to the
fact of annoyance having been received by such
magistrate" This is a sensible law; and were wes
number of the Hawaiian legislature, we should
advocate the passage of a similar law here, where
the annoyance from ours at nighttime is often fear
full.

MARCH WEATHER.-It has rained on East Maui
almost every day this month. So far the measure
foots up 5 inches in the Makawao district. Although
the first part of the winter was exceptionally dry,
yet if March keeps up its reputation for storms the
district will be well watered. On the 18th inst, the
rainfall in twenty minutes, was at the rate of eighty
six millions, ~sixty-six thousand one hundred and
fifty barrels per hour on an area five miles long.
and two miles wide. Querey: How much rain fell!

THE WEATHER certainly deserves an item. During
q residence of many years in Honolulu we cannot
remember another just such "spell'' of ~southerly
winds and frequent rains as has been experienced
with brief interruptions since the year came in.
Since Wednesday the wind has been fresh from about
due south, and as to rain-the quantity of water
that has fallen is something huge. Talking with an
old resident about the anomalous weather, he as
cribed it oil to the transit of Venus, which occurred
some fifteen months since

words, (which while necessary for the industrial

male laborers. and we are expecting q few hundred
more, which while necessary for the industrial in

omitted in the published list Of names is subscribed
to the address laid before His Majesty.
