judgment In the Assault Case.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
J. A. Reichart and L. J. Scott were
brought up for sentence. His Honor
Police Justice Bickerton delivered the
following judgment: make it a rule to
take into consideration plea of guilty.
In the case of Scott, his counsel states
he is responsible for the plea of not
guilty in order to test the law as to
whether Scott was an accessory. After
the dispute at the Hotel counter that
night you (the defendants) seemed to
have pursued Capt. Hayley in a system
attic manner. The hour at which you
went, as stated in evidence, to offer an
apology was most unreasonable There
was no battery, the affair being more of
the nature of threat. The language
used shows that an assault was intended.
1t is beyond any question that Scott was
urging Reichart on, and must hold that
he is an accessory, and must be held as
a principal. As for you, Scott, it was
d1sorderly conduct, and l placed you
under bonds, at the same time giving
you a severe lecture, in the hope it
would have good effect. This present
offense is surely disorderly conduct of
the worst kind Mr.. Whiting tried to
keep you respectable, and placed you in
position where you could have earned
an honest living; but you have returned
evil for good. l feel it my duty to i'm
pose penalty that will sufficiently mark
this case. There is great deal of dis
erection left to the Court Such conduct
as this by young men cannot be toler-
ated. fine you $50 each, and sentence
you to Imprisonment at hard labor for
five days.
Counsel for Reichart noted an appeal,
but it was only to give the latter time to
get some one to fill his place at the Key
stone saloon That done, the appeal
will be withdrawn, and he will go on the
reef.

The first performance of this troupe
will be given in the Hawaiian Opera
House on Thursday evening, commenc-
ing at o'clock. The box plan opens al
]. E. Wiseman's office, Merchant street,
at O'Clock this morning. A New Yea
land paper speaks of one Of their per-
formances as follows: ''The talents of the
Merry Makers entitle them to expect
bumper houses. Wash NortOn's comic
alities, negro eccentricities, instantaneous
changes of costume and character, and
amusing songs, kept the house in con
vulsions of laughter, and were continu-
ously applauded. He was ably supported
by the other members of his company
Mrs. Norton also produced quite an i'm,
preston upon the audience in her wonder
full box trick The audience separated

provided for them"

FACTS ABOUT THE ELECTION.

The writer in Saturdays Bulletin"
misses the point Of our article on the
military vote. 1t was this: the National
party could have dispensed with the
military vote (Which WAS divided) and
yet have polled large majority over the
Opposition, after throwing in the politi-
cal fotsam and jetsam of the contest to
add to the Opposition numbers. Abus-
i've language will not alter this fact,
which carries with it the unequivocal
condemnation of the Opposition party.
We are sorry to find the Bulletin" lend
ing itself to the circulation of a series OF
falsehoods regarding the election in this
city. Instead of fabricating lies regard
ing the military, it should denounce the
welI-dressed rowdies who attempted to
block the approach to the ballot boxes,
and by force prevent the lawful and or
DERBY exercise of the suffrage by military
and civilians alike. If these men did
not create riot it was owing to the for
beaxance and good temper of the voters
Uh.rs MORO hustladan assaulted ny them.
However, it will be dangerous expert
ment to repeat, whatever names may be
upon ticket, or whatever interests may
be involved.

At this church on Sunday at the 9 sc
a. m. service the Bishop of Honolulu
preached from the text "For this pur-
pose the Son of God was manifested
that He might destroy the works of the

At IL: 10 a. m. the Rev. George Wal

More Opium.

On Wednesday last Chinaman, q
leper at the settlement of Kalawao, Mo
lokai, attempted to take some opium and
liquor into the settlement. AS it is
against the law to have opium and con
trary to the rules of the settlement tC
have liquor, Mr.. Meyer, the Superin-
tendent, confscated the opium and
liquor and sent it to Marshal Soper.
By the Iwalani, which arrived Sunday
morning from Kauai, Marshal Soper re-
ceived six tins of opium from District
Justice c. S. Gay, of Niihau. The opium
was fonnd in some Chinese freight that
had been washed ashore from the wreck
of the Planter.

INADEQUATE PUNISHMENT.

We seldom care to criticise the judg-
ment of a Court in the exercise of its
discretion in a case of summary juris-
diction, but we certainly do think that
the sentence pronounced upon Scott and
Reichart yesterday by Judge Bickerton
was insufficient. We are aware that a
very persistent effort was made to secure
a withdrawal or modification of the
charge in this case, and it is greatly to
Captain Hayley's credit that he persisted
in it. There has been a growing ten
dency to outrage and violence among
the class bordering close upon the crimi-
nal line in this community, and it is the
duty of the Court to check this tendency
by making few conspicuous examples.
Judge Bickerton says in his judgment,
as reported, that there was no battery,
the affair being more in the nature of a
threat" but it is in evidence before the
Court that the threats to "cut Captain
Hayley's throat" and to cut his heart
out were accompanied by the drawing
of a knife and advancing upon him, the
execution of the murderous intent being
frustrated by third party striking the
lethal weapon out of Reichart's hand and
putting his foot upon it. A fine OF $50
and five days imprisonment is not ade-
auate punishment for such an Offense,
even admitting that the young men We're
under the influence of liquor at the time.
II Captain Hayley had shot Reichart and
his companion at this juncture he would
have been justified by the law, his life
being unquestionably in imminent peril,
and does any man OF common sense pre-
tend to say that because he did not do so
in self defense the law covering personal
security is indicated by a fine OF $50
and five days imprisonment pronounced
uoon his assailants? We do not think
so, and representing as we do the final
court of appeal, that of public opinion,
we deem it our duty to say so. A more
serious ofense against the law of per
sonal safety and order it is not easy to
imagine than the one for which this
trifing penalty was imposed. The moral
influence of the sentence certainly will
not tend to personal safety and good

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

The bill which has been approved by
President Cleveland changes the line
Of Presidential succession, and makes
Secretary Bayard "heir presumptive" to
the Presidency, instead of Senator Sher-
man, the Acting-Vice President. This is
an important change, and enables the
President, in certain contingency, TO
name his own successor. If this bill
had not passed Congress and had been
approved, an accident or assassination
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1886-02-16

would have seated Republican in the
Executive chair OF the United States,
thereby multiplying the declared policy OF
the majority of American citizens who
had elected a Democratic Executive.
The law as it now stands provides that
in case of the removal, death, resignation
or inability of both the President and
the Vice President, the succession is
vested in the members of the Cabinet in
the following order: Secretary of State,
Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of
War, Attorney General, Postmaster Cen
eral, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary Of
the Interior. In case the duties of the
office devolve upon any member Of the
Cabinet he is to "act as President until
the disability of the President or Vice
President is removed or a President shall
be elected" The former law providing
for a special election is repealed. Hence,
if Secretary should be called upon to
act as President he would continue 50 to
act for the rest OF the term for which the
President was elected-unless he should
sooner die, in which case the duties OF
the office would devolve upon the next
one in the line of succession. This law
is one of expediency, and is intended to
guard against contingency which the
death of Hendricks and the election OF
Sherman to the Presidency pro tenn. OF
the Senate showed was a possible one
at any time. The shooting of Gar
field first aroused the country to its dan
ger. Congress is considering an Electoral
Count bill to guard against a repetition
of the methods by which Hayes was
counted in" The country would not
submit quietly to a repetition of them.

Bad Air.

When person has remained for an sour or more in crowded and poorly ventilated room or railroad-car, the sys- tem is already contaminated to a greater or lesser extent, by breathing air vitiated by exhalations from the lungs, bodies and clothing of the occu- pants. The immediate effect of those poisons, is to debilitate, to lower vital ity. and to impair the natural power of the system to resist disease. Hence 1t Is that persons who are attecked by in- hammatory diseases, as pneumonia or rheumatism, can generally trace the be- ginning of the disease to chill felt on coming out of crowded room into the cold or damp air, wearing perhaps, thin shoes, and insufficient clothing. If these facts were generally under- stood and acted upon, thousands of lives might be saved every year. It is . well-know fact that men who "camp out. sleeping on the ground at all sea- sons of the year, seldom have pneumo- mia, and that rheumatism with them, comes as a rule, only from unwarrant- able imprudences. There are two facts that should be learned by every person capable of approaching them, and should never be lost sight of for mo- inent.
 One is that calculations from the lungs the breath-are deadly poison, con taining the products of combustion, m the form of carbonic acid gas, and fl person were compelled to reinhale It unmixed with the oxygen of the air 1t would prove as destructive to life as the fumes of charcoal.
 This is an enemy that is always pres- ent, in force, in assemblies of people, and only constant and free infusion of fresh air prevents it from doing mis- chief that would be immediately appar- ent. The other fact is that pure air is the antidote to this poison.
 The oxygen of the air is the greatest of all purifiers. Rapid streams of water tina: pass through large cities, receiving the sewerage, become pure again through the action of the air after run ning Il few mi es. Air is the best of all "rlood purifiers" Combined with vigorous exercise to make it effective it will cure any curable case of consump- s'"n. --HalPs Journal Of Health.
