TIE LIBEL SILT
against Nes.rs. atkinson and Griere.

1go'"H HespS sh'HsoH anu tr'er"'
The case Of the crown, uttered against Johr
Richardson versus Robert Grieve and Alatau
T. Atkinson for libel, came up for trial before
the police court on Monday last. Mr.. A. S.
Hartwel, counsel for defendants, moved to
dismiss the case on the ground that no libel
had been committed, and that the indictmen,
was faulty in specifying the degree, which was
a matter for jury TO decide upon. Judge
Bickerton notified defendants that he would
take the matter under careful advisement, and
that he would render his decision on the com.
ing Wednesday.
Following is the judges decision, rendered
on Wednesday, May I'D . "The court has
taken this matter under careful consideration
In regard to the first ground taken by the de.
Tense, that the prosecution should not charge
the degree, that it is for the court or Jury hav.
ing jurisdiction to find the degree this court
is only sitting as a committing court, and
would have no jurisdiction to find the degree
and could only commit for libel. The words
second degree are superhuous and might be
stricken out, and on commitment, the at
torney.genera might charge libel in the in.

case, OF would warrant me in dismissing the
case on these grounds alone 1t is con.

of the article comments on them, and taking i,

that the charge might have been made fuller

on the present showing, and in the present
stage of the case, in allowing this motion to
dismiss. Therefore the motion is overruled,

Defendants, through their counsel, declined
to offer any defense, and were committed for
trial to the supreme court.
Counsel for the defendants noted an appeal
to the Intermediary court.
Russell for prosecution; Hartwell and Smith
for defendants.

THE NEW TAX Law.

An inquiry and suggestion respectfully adj
dressed to his excellency the minister Of
finance
Section 10 says CAN carts and drays shall
be subject to an annual tax Of two dollars each,
aside from value as personal property, to be
paid by the owners thereof" The clause
above, beginning with "aside," implies that
carts and drays are not only to pay a specific
tax of two dollars each, but are also to be
taxed as personal property.
But Section ~ says; "All personal property
within this kingdom, not subject to specific
taxes, shall be subject to an annual tax Of three.
quarters Of one per cent upon the cash value Of
the same" Here the plain implication is, that
personal property, subject to specific taxes,
shall not be subject to the general tax Of three.
quarters Of one per cent.
Inquiry Shall the assessor therefore stop
with the assessment Of the two-dollar specific
tax on As cart, or shall he also assess the value
of the cart, say SIS, to A, as personal
property
Suggestion; That the native assessors be in.
structed to follow the English version of Sec.
ton IS, rather than the Hawaiian, since the
latter omits the "eight" before "years,"
and has "years "na makahikin only, and
as it stands is quite incomprehensible. A.

An 1UspICIOus OPENING.

The Hart Brothers opened their new c,
| cream room on Hotel street, opposite their ole
restaurant, last Monday evening. The new es
tablshment consists of an entrance room, htteC
with soda and candy COUNTER handsomel,
decorated and hung with chromos. Back o
this entrance room is a long hallway with pr
vate rooms thanking both sides. Each room
has table at which four persons comfortabl,
may sit. Each room has natty curtain, a SCI
of chromos and dado. The opening was at
! tended by a large number of invited guests
and was source of enjoyment to the visitors
and OF pride on the part of the hosts. The
gentlemen composing the society firm of Brown
Jones, Robinson, and Smithe were among the
socially select invited to the opening Of the
Elite Ice Cream Parlors of the Messrs. Hart
last Monday night
All these gentlemen are unmarried, and
considering it not good form to invite ladies tc
an entertainment that was gratuitous, they went
together unaccompanied by any Of the oppos
ing sex.
1t is well they did, as the sequel will prove
Jones and Robinson are dapper young men o.
unpretentious muscular development. Smithe is
six-footer and Browne an athlete, tipping the
scales at two hundred and two.
The latter had recently joined "The So.
ciety for the Total Suppression of Puns," OF
which fact the Others were unaware.
-Four kinds Of delicious cream were being
served: chocolate, lemon, vanilla and rasp,
berry. OF these Brown chose the sort first
named, at which Jones incautiously suggested
its good you came early, Brown, for that
kind of cream has been known to choke "a late
conner"
There was swift but noiseless movement,
a gasp, gurgle and moan, and Jones limp
and unconscious, was considerably and ten.
derby laid under the table.
The cream was eaten in silence; Brown
carefully approprating Jones share. But as
they rose to go, Robinson, in the fullness of his
appreciation, imprudently exclaimed "Hears
are trumps."
There was S. b. n. M, a g., a. G. and a m.
and Robinson, l. and u, W. C. and I. !. IL. I. t..
Smithe, trembling in every limb, walked out
with his friend into the pure, fresh, tobacco
scented air. He wrung his friends hand over
the latter's front gate, and as Brown turned to
go up the steps, said with studied carelessness,
"Thats the first free blow I've had for free
years."
Then he turneds away and ran down the
street like startled roebuck. There was a
snort of vengeful fury, clatter of pursuing
feet, despairing smoker of inappropriate
laughter, chorus Of expostulations, sound
as OF vigorous kicks, dull thud. And
the Hotel street policeman of one bright par.
ticular beat considerably put out his cigar and
covered his eyes with his fan.

MISS FRANCES WILLARD.

One Of the most noted women Of America,
Miss Frances Willard, President Of the
National Womens Christian Temperance
Union, with her secretary, Miss Anna Gordon,
is now on the Pasihc Coast, engaged In tenn
perance work. There Is possibility that
these two ladies' may visit Honolulu, and, II so,
perhaps other points in this kingdom.
Few speakers Of the present day have such
power with an audience As Miss Willard.
Everywhere, east and west, in the United
States her success has been unprecedented in
awaking enthusiasm in the temperance cause.
In cultured Boston, Music Hall and fremont
Temple have been, At different times, too
small to accommodate the eager thousands who
have thronged to hear this gifted woman. In
recent tour through the Southern States, in
every city where she spoke, Miss Williard's
audiences were only limited by the size Of the
largest halls obtainable.

SCHOOL TEdCHERS' FACTION.

EDITOR SATURDAY PREss-Sir: You adj.
mitted into the editorial columns of your last
Saturdays issue what all teachers and those
who know and sympathize with a teachers
work will consider rather ill.natured para.
graph. 1t seems to me hardly probable that
the words allude to emanated from your
own pen or from the pen of any one at all
acquainted with the work of education. can
but think they must have slipped into the
paper by one of those accidents so common to
the newspaper. At all events, as the para.
graph contains slightly erroneous statement
and an unfair comparison, perhaps you will be
good enough to allow me short space to
correct the error and to attempt to convince
the writer of his uniairness.
The error is involved in the following:
" Teachers of schools have much more time to
themselves than those of almost any other
avocation; they have but five hours work to
perform daily" 1t is not always safe to state
the minimum required to represent the work
actually accomplished. True, the actual hours
of teaching required by the Board of Educa-
ton, are five, but is not the personal prepare
ton of the teacher to be called work There
are very few subordinate teachers who can
afford to spend less than two hours daily on
this important branch of their labor, and does
the writer imagine that the principals work
ends at p. NJ. He has accounts to keep,
exercises to correct, work to plan, sick TO
visit, complaints to answer, and host of
things to do, which, all or nearly so, must be
done after that hour.
The comparison with mercantile clerks
and book-keepers generally" is unfair in at least
two ways First, everyone will allow that one
hour of good earnest work in teaching, will
take more steam out of one, to use common
ay hof txun lael. T. ILL
an hours worry, with disagreeable temper or
a stupid child, will effect one hundred times
more than an error in the trial balance
Altogether, the wear and tear of teachers
work is beyond doubt far greater than that Of
any one in a clerical capacity and, therefore,
to do good and efficient work longer intervals
of total cessation of labor are necessary for
teachers than for clerks and bookkeepers
generally.
The second thing to take in consideration is
the pay ofteachers. How would clerk or
bookkeeper like to spend his life for the
salary of a teacher1 turn out every year
boys of sixteen who begin with salaries as
great as some teachers of several years stand
ing are now getting; and what would you
think, Mr.. Editor, if you saw your sons whom
you have trained yourself and fitted for their
Office, earning higher salaries than your own,
in far inferior capacities, under the same EN-.
ployersf This is what teachers see every year
in this kingdom. Surely, some compensation
should be given for this, besides the joy and
pleasure in the success Of the pupil, S;ho
is the teachers son.
One word more, il the teacher happens to
find an hour to spare from his labors, he is
sometimes obliged to employ it in outside
work to exc out sufficient to pay his way, buy
a few books, or to enable him to get change
