POLICE COURT.
Torbert GETS the benefit of the DOubt.

The only business in the Police Court
on Saturday last was the judgment in
the case of George H. Torbert, charged
with larceny of goods belonging to L. NJ.
Mather, at the Hotel. After the de-
fendant had been called to the bar, His
Honor Judge Bickerton said he had
gwen the case the most careful considera-
ton, not on account of the position held
by the defendant, but because he was
satisfied the evidence was circumstantial.
In case of this kind the evidence
needed to be positive He had analyzed
the evidence very carefully and exam
med closely all the articles connected
with the case. Sometimes cases of cir
cumstantial evidence are very strong,
but they are peculiar. Where case de-
ponds entirely on such evidence there
must be no doubt to thoroughly convince
the mind. There are cases on record of
circumstantial evidence where men
have suffered the extreme penalty of the
law, and after lapse of time it came out
that they were innocent. When such
cases exist the greatest care is required.
In this case the prosecutor gives positive
evidence as to the razor and socks being
his property. The other things he is not
sure of. The defendant, on being sworn,
positively denies the charge, and claims
the articles belonging to the prosecutor.
His Honor did not consider it a matter of
veracity between the prosecutor and de-
PENDANT. The defendant must be, if
these things were stolen, very system
attic sneak thief There had been a great
deal of street talk, but this the Court
entirely ignored. After defendant was
arrested all kinds of stories were af1oat
Persons should be very careful before
they charge any one. His Honor could
liciously, wilfully or without reason had
the defendant arrested. Arrests have
often to be made for circumstances, and
that was how this case was made. 1t is
the duty of every person when he finds
that the laws are being broken to call the
attention of the authorities to the fact. Peo-
pie often make a great mistake in allow
ing things to go. There has been deal
of thieving going on lately at the Hotel.
In other places the proprietors look to
the protection of their guests 1t is an
indisputable rule, and very old one,
that the prosecution have to establish
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt They
must do that before defendant is proved
guilty. In this Kingdom man is inno-
cent until he is found guilty. His Honor
was satisfied beyond any doubt, and his
conscience told him that no twelve men,
unbiased and unprejudiced, would find
the defendant guilty. Under the sus-
picious circumstances this defendant
must have the benefit of the doubt, and
he should discharge him.

ISLAND NOTES.
Points of Interest from Hawaii-POIit-
zeal Sentiment at HiIo.

KoHAhA, August 14th
Sit Moon, one of the Chinese Christian
missionaries of this district, died on the
10th instant, of bowel trouble, which is
quite prevalent here at present. He was
much respected by all, and the church
loses a faithful servant.
Quite number of people left on the
18th for visit to the volcano. Wilder's
new route seems to be very popular.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the reception of the Sunday school
children expected here on the 28th. A
large lanai has been built at Makapala,
and the different entertainers are put
ting their houses in shape to lodge the
visitors. We are told that at least six
hundred are expected.
The case of the Cinnamon at Kohala
plantation, who beat another Chinaman
so that death ensued, was tried on the
9th and vigorously prosecuted by Sheriff
Kaulukou, who came from Hilo to see
that justice was done. The Cinnamon
were bound over to the November term,
and will doubtless be convicted before a
jury. We hope that such cases hereafter
will not need the special attention that
this one did to ensure punishment Of
guilty parties.
We have heard that one plantation
here has procured long iron hooks in
order to be able to strip the long cane
thev are so fortunate as tO rOSSeSS while
another has procured climbers, such as
telegraph repairers use, SO that they may
climb the sticks to get at the highest
parts. We have not yet been able to
strip our cane, as none of the Cinnamon
in the district will risk their necks at
such hight even with climbers and
hooks.

More Opium.

Officer Mehrtens made another haul OF
opium on Saturday morning shortly be-
fore noon. He was aware that opium
had been sold for long time in GER
tain building on the mauka side of King
street, below the Police Station. At the
time stated he entered the building from
the street, went up a staircase, then
climbed over roof, letting himself
down to an upper veranda> One turn
found him face to face with the guilty
man. Two tins of opium were found,
also a number of kukui nuts with opium
in them ready for sale. These, with the
man, were taken to the Station House.
He gave his name as All Hoy, but it is
supposed not to be the right one.

How soldier Are Made.

west Point Cor. Hartford Times.I
Probably no school or college in the
country is so fair an example of demo
cratic representation as the West Point
Military academy Out of nearly 300
cadets the majority are the sons of com
paratively poor parents; but whether rich
or poor, educated or uncultured, infu-
entail or obscure, their boys get precisely
the same impartial treatment when once
thew have passed the necessary examina-
tions and don the cadet uniform His
antecedents are lost sight of. All share
the same privileges. the same hardships,
the same restrictions Pride and conceit,
intensified by the coddling of fond par
ents, are knocked out of q lad in q
twinkling. Prompt obedience is one of
the first things required Commands are
given in quick, sharp tones, which the
cadets soon grow accustomed to.

Services at st. Andrews Cathedral.
The Rev. George Wallace preached at
st. Andrews Cathedral yesterday morn
ing, taking his text from the tenth chap
ter of Acts, first and second verses " A
centurian of the band, called the Italian
band, devout man, and one that feared
Cod The reverend gentleman said
that two great men, Generals Gordon
and Grant, had passed away during the
year-one by treachery and murder, the
other surrounded by his family and kin
bred. Both are at rest, awaiting the
summons of the Great Master. With
the thoughts of those two great men in
mind, he asked his hearers to follow him
in the study of the character of the Chris
tan soldier. These two eminent men
had attained such character. In elo-
quent language the preacher spoke OF
Grant and Gordon and of war. Their
names, he said, would shine forever.
Let all contemplate such lives as theirs,
and emulate their noble example. There
could be no better character than that OF
Christian soldier, devout man and
one that feared God. In the evening the
Bishop of Honolulu discoursed from the
first chapter of Colossians, 26th verse
''The mystery which hath been hid
from ages and from generations" The
congregations throughout the day were
not large, so many people being away on
vacation.

The Attempt to Save Niagara.

Topics ofthe Times, The Century for April.
A natural phenomenon of the pro
portions of Niagara constitutes pub
lie trust. The people cannot escape
responsibility for its care and preserva-
ton, even if they would. The expert
ment of private ownership and man
agement of the lands about the Falls
has been fully tried, under circum-
stances more favorable than can ever
exist in the future, and has failed
completely. The existing state Of
things is one which no intelligent per
son can defend. The decentralization
is natural and inevitable; competition
between the owners of rival points
of viewn naturally developes a ten.
dency TO the employment of tawdry,
sensational attractions. The increas
ing ugliness everywhere; the destruc'
ton of all velnal beauty and fresh
ness; the crowdiHg of unsightly struc-
lures for manufactures of various
kinds around the very brink OF the
Falls; the incessant bounding OF
travellers, and the enormous exactlons
Of which they are the victims, all
these evils are inseparable from the
system of private ownership OF the
land. and nothing could be more idle
or fruitless than to find fault with in
dividuals because the results Of the
system are disagrceable and mischiev-
Gus.
The only practicable remedy is
ownership by the State, and suitable
permanent guardianship over these
lands, with such provision for the
safety, convenience, and comfort OF
myriads of visitors as can be supplied
only by competent directory closhed
with the authority of the State, and
action ia the interest of the general
community. This is the object of the
measures recommended by the Com
missioners appointed by the Cover
nor now President Cleveland IN the
spring OF 1883. These Commissioners
4 have selected about one hundred and
eighteen acres of land contiguous to
tha Falls, comprising Goat Island and
all other islands in the river, with a
narrow strip of land on the "Ameri-
can shore, running from
the upper suspension bridge to Port
Day, and including Prospect
Park. The various separate por-
tons constituting this tract have been
