Professor Wavland.

Professor Wayland, Of the Yale Law School,
who visited these Islands few months ago. ex-
pressed himself, when here, as very much pleased
with the procedure of our courts. He attended
our courts several times and was present at an
important trial, that of Bridges for homicide The
notes he made on that occasion he embodied in a
lecture which was delivered before the National
Prison Association, Detroit on October 18th, of
this present year The testimony 10 the excellence
of our Supreme Court is very strong, coming as il
does from man Of such professional experience
The professor speaks of the speedy manner of
selecting the jury, of the excellent behaviour of
counsel towards one another and towards wit
nesses and under his third head speaks of the
moral aspect of the case. He asks his hearers to
regard the moral atmosphere Of the trial. One
of the actual drdmafis pefsohR was dissolute
woman. She had been the mistress of the deceased
before she became the wife of the prisoner and
her illicit relations with the deceased survived her
the last-mentioned complication was within the
knowledge if not with the clearly implied consent
of her husband. At all events, below the surface
the case was saturated with unholy passion and
unbridled lust Zolo would have reveled in the
repulsive details of story which, without help
from his eIuberantly filthy imagination would
have satisfied the salacious appetite of a Partisan
public. And to think that single incautious in
quiry single defiant challenge, a single coarse
joke, might have let loose upon the courtroom and
the community this flood of unspeakable vieness.
But so dexterously was the case conducted in
in the interests of decency and good morals Wig
ianty watched was every possible loop-hole of es-
cape, that no hint of all this reached the audience
single incident will illustrate my meaning A
letter from the deceased to the wife of the prisoner
and discoTered in her trunk, having been offered
In evidence by the defense rs containing matter
material and pertinent to the issue, was first, by
agreement, submitted to the presiding judge for
his decision, which was to be final, as TO whether
1t ought to go before the jury The Court having
come to the conclusion that, the whole, it ought
not be excluded, directed the sheriff TO clear the
room OF all who were not present in official
professional capacity. The letter was then read
to the Jury.
To this, on behalf of the newspaper press of these
Islands, can be added that substance of the letter
i'll ques ton in the hands of certainly edit
in this city Just as the evidence of the late trial
of the jailor of Oahu Prison was. but that no use
was made of it TO satisfy prurient taste. Pro-
fessor Wayland's lecture sill be of great benefit
to the Islands and it is pleasing to that it has
been widely copied in the States.

TIE prevalence OF sneak thieves and the
mpunity that they seem to enjoy does not
argue well for the efficiency Of the police
The fact is that there is no money in catch
ing thieves. while there Is a good steady
income TO be made out OF capturing opium.
Police are but men and they naturally
prefer turning an honest penny to captur-
ing rascals Tor mere honor and glory The
fact is the rewards for capturing opium are
too large and fill the minds Of all those
who have to deal with its seizure.
Unless there was considerable money in
II, there would hardly be so much enthu-
siasm IN fishing" the harbor at night as
there is now The force Of police that are
employed on this duty might be devoting
themselves TO the more prosaic and less
lucrative one OF looking after thieves and
suspicious characters in general
The police force Is small enough. so
small that the outskirts of the town are
entirely unprotected; such a thing as a
policeman on Nuuanu Avenue, above
School street being almost unknown in
the history Of that locality Now, if the
same force which is employed in fishing
was employed in protecting. il would be
very much better for the public.
The factisthatopium should be searched
Tor by special officers, appointed for that
purpose their pay coming out of the seiz
ures made. There is, or was, little while
ago, enough opium IN the Custom House
TO have paid twenty-five special guards
twenty dollars month each for two years
Opium capturing should be selfsupport
ing and should not occupy the time of the
guardians OF the night.

EDIroR GAZErTE:-A native, Moses Mahelona
by name, has been Deputy Sheriff down here for
the last four years He is a very well educated
man, having been educated at the ROYAL School
and at the Bahainaluna College and has subse-
quently studied law under Mr. Preston and also
under Messrs.SDole and Castle. At the present
time there Is some idea that he would be likely to
support an independent candidate. On THURSDAY
his resignation was asked for by telephone. On
going up to town he went to Marshal Soper and
also to the Attorney General and asked an explain
alton, but they both professed ignorance Of the
cause.
= The new Sheriff elect is a man named Hui has
no education comparable 10 his predecessor His
knowledge of the law is very rudimentary and was
acquired from the native judge. HIS only merit
seems to be that be viii support the Government
candidate who Will most probably be his former

This gives no estimate for the rental of lands

less than the number OF suckers planted, and the

Tn method OF obtaining tax receipts
which, il is stated, is being used 10y a tax
collector on Maui, Is one which calls for
strong protest 10y all tax payers and voters
on the lslands In addition 10 the infor-
mation given by our correspondent we
learn from gentlemen, who came from
Maui ON Saturday, that il is currently re
ported among the natives that, where the
tax collector comes upon an ignorant man,
he nets as follows: Suppose the mans
taxes amount 90 IS the officer tells him
they amount TO Sll. and offers TO throw
off three dollars II the tax paper IS left
with him
The iniquity Is a glarng one and should
be shown up in the columns Of the native
press. The tax collector has no business
20 hold tax receipts But with the example
that the average official has before him.
and the teaching he has received from the
present Government, il is not surprising
30 find that corrupt methods should be
eagerly grasped 10y him.
The country Is now governed by mi
nority, really, and by the wording OF the
naturalization law, it is impossible for men
who are adverse 10 the present state of
things. 30 naturalize. With minority
that can be bought at the small rate these
tax papers have fetched. the future looks
black indeed
