AFTER the revelation made OF the state
of discipline prevailing in the Oahu prison
which was afforded TO the public by the
court of investigation held at the time of
the late Governors death, now more than
month ago. it might have been supposed
that farther enquiry would have been held,
and that whatever of wrong was then
brought to light would be at once recti-
fed. and due provisions made against any
possible recurrence of the evil.
In some countries Il searching invcstl-
CATION. published report, and prompt
amendment would. as OF necessity, have
followed such an exposure as a matter Of
course. Not so in this country. here the
great administrator "IatCrjm' Is, as usual,
allowed to prevail and, also As usual, TO
perpetuate msmanagement. The jail Is
left to be worked by the former officers
minus chief These are proved by their
own testimony to be grossly incompetent.
For instance. "A guard" says The guards
do as they like about relieving one another,
we do not obey the regulations, we can 60
around outside and leave our place Of
watch This was the state of affairs un-
der the guvernorship Of a man appointed
10 the post. rice man dismissed without
cause assigned. This was when Mr.. 5. X.
Kaai occupied the Interior segment of
the Kaleidoscope.
The Civil Code enacts that The Minis
ter of Interior with the approval
of the King in Cabinet Council tis) to pro
vide rules and regulations for their tthe
prisoners) government and discipline and
THE Marshal OF the Kingdom shall
have the nomination and appointment,
with the approval of the Minister of Int
rior. of all jailors and other prison off
GERS
The enquiry referred 10, such as IT was,
was held before the deputy Marshal. the
evidence quoted was given to and accepted
by him. To his chiefs, viz: the Marshal
Of the Kingdom and the Minister of Int
rior the public look to have the disgraceful
condition of the prison, as deposcd to by
It's own officers set Alright.
1t wouldappear TO be only common sense
that they who are authorised to furnish
rules and regulations for the prison and
its inmates, should be expected TO enforce
them. After such lamentable failure
under the late Governor. why is the prison
left without any governor at all? Is N
feriw better than the best man available at
home2 If this be SO the Minister Of Int
rior ought forthwith to have sent for a
governor from abroad.
Such frequent failures in duty and dis
cipline have recently occurred in the Mar
shal's branch of Interior administration
that it ought not. any longer to subject
itself to the risk of any more damaging
disclosures.
1t is currently reported that ia'ori1 Is

Kings friends" now engaged in pacify-
ing or federating with this kingdom, Ger

out and appointed to the vacancy at once.
