NOT TOO MUCH BUT roo LITTLE.


A bill which has passed its second
reading, and is to come up for third
reading on next Tuesday, "to pro-
vide for bringing of suits by or
against the Hawaiian Government"
aims at lessening the obstruction in
the way of private persons suing the
Government, by empowering any
Justice Of the Supreme Court to al
low process to issue, if in his opin-
ion the claim set forth is a fair sub
ject for judicial investigation, in
stead of contining that power to the
Privy Council as at present.
This is a movement in advance.
But still the private citizen is at a
disadvantage as compared with the
Government, for the latter, by the
same bill, is empowered to institute
judicial proceedings against the
former without permission from
Judge, Privy Council, or anybody
else. We protest against this par
tiality. The Government gets no
more than enough, but the private
individual has too little. A Gov
ernment that is "of the people, for
the people and by the people,"
should not have freedom of access
to the bar of justice which is denied
to the people themselves. Give the
| people the same privilege as the
Government in this particular case.
1t may be argued, and probably
that is the idea, that by removing
every restriction and giving private
individuals full permission to insti-
tute legal proceedings against the
Government for the enforcement Of
any right or supposed right, with
out any reserve whatever, expense
and annoyance may be caused tC
the Government by foolish, cantan'
kerous or malicious persons who
have no just grievance. Admitted
But where is the Government? May
it not be guilty of the same offence
against the private citizen? The ar
gument applies to both sides. Let
the privileges be the same for each
so far as access to courts of justic,
is concerned.

only. But how about the Disgrace,
the discomfort, the laccl0ted feelings,
etc. ? Liberty Witches man just
and legal right is poor compensation
for these.
A legal system in which such oc-
currences are in harmony with its
provisions, is disgrace to any coun-
try, and marks it us far behind in
the march of liberty and the rights
of man. 1t is the system, as esta-
blished in and by our statutes, on
which the reflection is cast so Sc
verely, and not on the officials
charged with its execution. True,
these gentlemen may, and us mat
ter of fact do sometimes, through
over-zealousness or lack of iudg-
ment, unnecessarily increase the op-
pressiveness of an intrinsically bad
system. But on the other hand,
they also frequently do their best to
make it work as little disagreeable-
ness as possible to those who come
under its operation.
Such were the circumstances and
conditions of this country in the
early days of its civilized history,
when the system of dealing with all
offenders and supposed offenders
against law and order by compelling
them to appear in Court under q
warrant of arrest, was inaugurated,
that it was perhaps necessary.
But circumstances and conditions
have changed, while the system of q
darker and more despotic age still
remains. The time is now ripe fol
its abolition. Does the Legislature
now assembled realize this fact
We believe it will, on reflection.
What we advocate is the substi,
tuition of summons" for 'arrest'
in all cases not of purely criminal
nature, in which conviction would
be followed by imprisonment, and
in those of the class detrimental tc
peace and order, such rs drunken
ness, riotous conduct, etc. Let the
thousand and one other charges, un.
der which persons are now arrested,
be dealt with by citing the accused
to appear by summons TO answer
the accusation. If the Legislative
Assembly be not prepared during
the present session to make some
move in this direction, it will de-
serves the censure of the nation and
the stigma of being too antiquated
for the times. We most respect
fully suggest that it would be pro
bono oublico to drop some OF those
personal or semi-personal bills now
before the House, and devote the
time to measures which affect thu
general welfare.

ABOLISH the "ARREST" SYS-
TEN.

Any breach or crack of almost
any and every law on our Statute
book, or any alleged breach or crack
of almost any and every law on our
Statute books, renders the guilty
party or the alleged guilty party
liable to arrest, and incarceration
pending hearing before magis-
trate. For keeping dog said to be
ferocious, for enormously designat-
ing Chinaman as Ah Fat when his
real name is All Lean, for leaving
the door of q liquor saloon open five
seconds after the prescribed moment
for closing, and for an innumerable
number of other trifling matters,
any accused person, man or woman,
is liable to arrest. Mark you, guilt
is not prerequisite: the accusation
is enough.
Not only is any and evey person
in Honolulu or in the kingdom lid-
bic to be arrested ON such frivolous
charges, but instances occur almost
every day in the week in which ar
rests are actually so made. Sud
denly, without warning, it may be a
respectable and inoffensive man is
taken from his business, his break
fast, or his bed, by "servant of
the public" armed with staff and
star, and paraded through the
public streets, in the gaze of the
public, to the Police Station. When
there, if fortunately in possession OF
money or friends, he may make a
deposit or file q bond for his appear
ance at the same place on the fol-
lowing day, or on some other day
specified, and thus gain his liberty.
The amount required may be five
dollars, or may be any sum above
that figure. If calling Chinaman
by wrong name be the offence al
legged, nothing less than one hun
dred dollars can secure him his free
dom. If the man has neither
friends nor money, a prison cell
with clouds of mosquitoes and all
the other disagreeable concomitants,
must be his lodging for at least one
night, should his arrest have been
madein the evening. When brought
before the Police Magistrate, the
charge may, and often does, utterly
fail of substantiation, or a nolle pro
sequi may be entered, and the ac-
cused told that he may go.
Liberty is sweet, and doubly
sweet after having been prisoner,
even though the term of imprison-
ment may have been few hours

Senator Brown, in his speech of wednesday,
said that the effect of the tariff in stimulating
manufactures, was shown in the case of Besse-
mer steel. Fourteen years ago the price of steel
rails was $138 ton; a tariff of $2S has caused
large American production, and has reduced the
price to $33 ton. The tariff was now STA
ton and rails had been offered at $3l ton."
Senator Brown must know that there was no
"Bessemer steel" when steel rails were sold at
$13S ton. The Bcssemer process of making
steel is latter discovery, and that discovery
and process are what has caused the great de-
cline in the price of steel. The decline has been
just as great. between the dates mentioned IN
England as in the United States, and England
has had no protective tariff to produce the
change.
The Senator says that the price in this coun-
try now is $S1 ton, and the tariff SIT ton. The
report of the Secretary of the Treasury states
the average value OF such rails at the place of
export at $20.1s per ton, and the rate of duty
$04SS per cent. So it seemSthat England, with
out protective tariff, produces Bessemer steel
much cheaper than protected Pennsylvania, but
under such high protection that only $841 ,667
was last year derived from the tariff on this de-
scription of rails Mr.. Mills bill proposes to re
duce the duty to Eli per ton, which will still
afford protection of over so per cent. Surely
this ought to be sufficient 1t is much greater
than the protection of $28 per ton when steel
rails were worth $13S a ton.-Atanta Journal

The Democratic State Committee OF Illinois
met in Chicago the other day, and the TACT was
brought out that the Democrats have strong
hopes Of carrying that State next fall The Re
publican majority, they say, has been steadily
decreasing for years. and that in the next cleo
ton sufficient number OF Republicans will be-
come Democrats or Prohbitionists to enable the
Democrats to carry the State.
The tariff will be the main issue in the election.
Mr.. Blaine was very quick 10 answer the Presi-
dents message, and to place his party in the
position of accepting the issue made therein. He
thought it would be one on which the Republi-
cans had the best chance of winning. 1t seems,
however, that he did not understand the extent
to which the tariff reform sentiment had spread.
In Illinois the Democrats have cause to hope
that they will gain the votes of large number
of farmers who have learned that a protective
tariff imposes hardships upon them that they
are not able to bear.
1t would not be wise for Democrats to count
confidently on success in Illinois, although
Democratic victory there is possible 1t is quite
evident that the Republicans will make a vigor-
Gus fight to hold the State.
1t is encouraging, however, to see, signs of
Democratic activity in the States which are re-
garded as Republican. But the brunt of the bat
tie will be in the really doubtful States as here

The venerable author, who is still an
indefatigably active man of business not
withstanding his advanced years and the
many hardships and privations of from
tier life, brought to his work of research
the acquisitions of the scholar, the tastes
of the Archaeological and the sagacity of
the woodsman. Thus equipped our author
travelled on foot and horseback more
than twelve hundred miles in tracing
the route of DeSoto from his landing at
Tampa bay to his winter camp in Middle
Florida, where he communicated with his
fleet at St. Marks, to which it had come
from Tampa in obedience to his orders.
The authors method was to locate the
route by the Identification of the water
courses, lakes, swamps, river crossings,
depths of water, ETC., 80 particularly de-
scribed by Garcilasco de la Vega, the
historian Of the Spanish discoverer.

several hundred hogs for commissary

DR.. Westcott's book contains six maps
prepared by himselfin illustration of the
text, in which are the modern names of
