THE BURGLAR.
Failing to Give an Eight Hundred
Dollar Bond He Goes to the
County Jail

John ". Ssndridge, the man who burg
larized the residence of Joseph Scott, near
HOustonia, and was arrested In this city
Friday night, was arraigned before Justice
Rife Yesterday. He waived examination
and his honor placed his bond at $500 In
default OF which he was sent to the count v
Jail. His case will come up for trial In the
criminal court, which conyenes the first
Monday in April.
When Jsdge Rife asked him il he
could give bond he replied that he could
not unless Mr.. Scott, the gentleman whose
house he had robbed. would go on it. Mr..
Scott, however was not willing to risk bis
money on a man, who had robbed him.
Sandridge claims that he was drunk al
the time he entered the hOase, and did not
know what he was doing. He says he has
five children TO support, but the reporter
learned that he had done nothing for them
for over two years. His wife has been
dead for abont four years
Houstonia has been systematically bur-
glarizsd for some time past, the store Of
Fred. Wilson and bar-room Of Mr.. Rude
having been entered, and doubtless much
of this has been the work of Sandridge. A
young man OF that place WAS drinking one

Sandridge was Alss there. A gentleman
called at the stable with buggy to take
the young man home, and when he was
awakened he put his hands into his pocket
and found that he had been robbed of his
pocketbook, containing about one hundred
dollars, bat he said nothing about it. Sand
ridge, sesingiths move, asked him if he had
lost anything, aud when he replied that he
had, Sandrisge began TO look around ia the
straw. but of course found nothing.
Taken all in all, Sandridge is hard
man, and now that he has been caught,
should be severely dealt with.
The articles taken from the house were
recovered, with the exception of the bacon,
which had been ratified OF at the Globe sa-
loon. Mr.. Scott left yesterday evening for
his home, FIVE miles from Hoastonia.

When King kalakaua took Mr.. Glib
son from the political gutter and made
him head of his cabinet he announced
to intimate friends that he should give
Mr. Gibson at least a two-years lease
Of office. Mr.. Gibson had made Ger
tain promises which the king believed.
The kings former policy of dismissing
cabinets without warning, and changing
his advisers more often than he did the
cut Of his coats, had been severely
criticised So the king said (in effect
:" | will please myself in giving Mr. Glib
sons policy fair trial and will please
my critics by keeping my cabinet in
Office during the biennial period" BY
the word cabinet the king undoubtedly
meant Mr. Gibson, for he is the only
one of the original cabinet now in office
With one exception he is me cabinet, at
present Not because of his brains,
but because of his "policy." Undoubt-
edIy the kings plan was unwise. The
result has been any thing but happy.
But the king has fulfilled the spirit of
the promise. 1t is for the legislature to
prove, for the satisfaction Of both king
and country, that the charges against
Mr. Gibson are so sustained by evidence
that his continuation in office will be
worse than a mistake" The kings

So much Tor the mereia elementary

This higher education, with the excep-

of Education, do yet recognize its right
Of supervision, and work in fullest har-
mony with the educational policy Of the

in, aud are molding the Hawaiian home

their labors are most self-sacriiicing and
do not inure in the least to their per
sonal benefit Such schools as Hawai-
ahao and Makawao Seminaries for girls,
and Hilo Boarding School for boys, are
doing more for the permanent welfare
OF the native race than mere dollars and
cents can measure. There are other
schools whose liberal support by the
government has come to be matter ol

II either precedent or necessity made
the speech from the throne the actual
work OF the king there would be gravcr
reason to consider it seriously and
weigh carefully its provisions. But it
is 50 well recognized that constitutional
kings seldom write their own speeches,
and it is so well understood that Mr.
Gibson was the responsible author Of
the speech delivered last Saturday, that
critics have an undoubted right to at
tack the measure on its dement's and
fastcn the responsibility where it be
longs. With this understanding, then,
ii becomes a comparatively very easy
matter to show the worthlessness Of the
speech as an indication Of the kings
real sentiments and opinions. He has
clearly been following his expressed
rule Of conduct to permit, my, com.
pei the cabinet (Gibson) to stand OF fall
by its own acts. Hence, the speech
from the throne is really Mr. Gibson's
speech, and must be considered accord

PRESIDENT RHoDEx.

The Advertiser, prior to the election
of the officers OF the legislature, took
occasion in two OF its issues to rehearse
the merits Of Mr.. T.. A. Pierce and to
give no undisguised hint as to the pro-
priety Of re-electing that gentleman TO
the secretaryship OF the house. What
may have moved that journal to so
tender and special solicitude for the
successful candidacy of Secretary
Pierce, We do not pretend to say. But,
il Mr.. Pierce could be recommended
for his former efficiency in his clerical
duties, and efficiency alone was the
Recommendation we fail to see why the
principle should not have had more
general application, and why
secretary who has served only one term
Of the legislature should be represented
as so pre-eminently deserving, while
the president of the assembly, occupy
ing far more important position, and
who has served not only one term, but
many, who is and has been long known
in the community not only for his high
moral worth bu, as presiding officer
Of acknowledged ability and one noted
ly impartial in his rulings, should he
deemed unworthy Of even a passing
compliment. The strenuous efforts
made by the Administration party to de-
feat the election Of Hon. Godfrey
Rhodes has suspicious look, when
none can challenge either his ability or
integrity Of purpose. A disposition TO
cover up the tangled state Of affairs.
seems to be the only reasonable ex-
pIanalion Of the objection, on the part
OF the Administration party, 10 Mr..
Rhodes as president Of the assembly
as with the president lies the appoint
ment OF standing committees and Mr..
Rhodes is known for his love OF fair
ness and proper investigation in such
matters. More especially does this Oh
lection to Mr. Rhodes carry with il an
ugly look. as he is not, strictly speak
ing, Of the Independent. party, and has
always been known as gentleman Of
conservative tendencies. Had the OPP
position anything OF favorilism to seek.
or any onc-sided measure to engineer
through the house, Mr. Rhodes would
never have been its nominee.

made more effective by reducing rather
than by increasing their numbers This
Is not intended to disparage any move
