PERSONAL LIBERTY.

] FEhSONAL LibEhl l.
1t is conceded that the fullest liberty
should be granted to man to pursue lie
and happiness, but that liberty means
life and happiness, not death and misery.
| Liberty in this sense is not license, but
| liberty to do right, not liberty 10 do
| wrong. Hence man must not think his
lawful liberty invaded because he can't
drink and get drunk if he will, and do
mischief to himself and others around
him. This mischief is not intended by
| the drinker when drinking, but it is the
effect OF the drink, and such should be
prohibited, not by keeping man away
from the drink but by keeping drink
away from the man, and prohibition is
the tool to use. One that pleads per
sonal liberty to drink and get drunk if
he chooses may be a man of strong mind
and can drink or let it alone. Such OF
course can't realize the position OF the
man that must and will drink ii liquor
is within reach. This class as well as
their families, friends and employers
would be greatly benefited by prohibit
ton. | have known drinkers come to
| these islands for the express purpose,
they said, to get away from their drink
associates, believing if they could leave
them behind they could stop drinking,
| but so far l have known only one that
accomplished it, as they found these
islands even worse drink-holes than
California. There, one had to go Tor 1t;
| here in Hamakua it is thrust under the
nose of every drinker, hut if prohibition
| had prevailed here these poor fellows
would have escaped the drink curse by
coming.
Mans appetite for strong drink when
once established is hard to control as
| well as the man himself when drunk,
so it is easier, more effectual and more
! humane, to remove the temptation than
| to remove man out OF temptation, or
punish him for the sin he commits when
drunk. Prohibition. prohibition Pre-
vention is better than cure. Prevent the
mischief and there will be nothing to
cure.
No law nor government can give lib
erty to man to do wrong. That, FORUM
ately, is beyond the the rights OF govern
ments. Their duties are to restrain the
wrong-doer and encourage the right
Give no license to man to do wrong,
! however much money he is willing TO
pay for it. The licensing the sale Of
strong drink is as much q relic OF the
dark ages as the license-indulgenee sold
by the church In former ages, and gov
ernments have no more right to sell these
sin indulgences than the church had to
sell others
Grogshops are hotbeds Of corruption,
the best of them. n. Greeley says g to
sell rum for q livelihood is bad enough,
| but for whole community to share in
the responsibility and guilt Of such a
traffic seems worse bargain than that

Duties of Governments-Prohibi
Mr.. EDITOR: The duty OF govern
ments and the laws aim, is to protect
life, liberty and the property OF the peo-
pie, SO it seems to be the first duty OF
governments to prevent the waste OF
human life in broad sense, extending
to removing the dangers menacing hU-
man life as much or more than taking
man out OF danger, and as more human
life is wasted by the use OF strong drink
than by pestilence, war or any other one
cause, strong drink should be at once re-
moved to the fullest extent OF prohibit
tory law, vigorously enforced, and thus
protect the weak-minded man who is
shortening and wasting his own life by
the use of rum, as well as protect his
neighbours life that is threatened by his
drunken crazy freaks This would seem
as much the duty of governments as to
prevent crazy persons from destroying
| themselves and others. Drunken men
are more or less senseless, hence crazy
| and dangerous, and their own families,
as well as the community, should be
protected, and prohibition would be
| short cut to safety, and show willing
ness on the part OF the government 10
do what it could to abate the evil and
protect life.
Ii savage beasts or banditti invaded
these Islands and committing depreGa-
tons on persons and property-though
not as destructive as rum, but killing
occasionally-the whole powers OF the
| Government, the rifle clubs and other
volunteers would be aroused to EXTERN
mate those dangers that threatened the
lives and property OF the people. Such
acts would be commendable. Why not
act as wisely when dealing with the
more familiar, at the same time more
destructive and dangerous beast-rum?
| When governments act wisely they do
not punish those that get injured by
mad-dogs, poisonous serpents or mid
night marauders, but 90 for the dog, the
snake or the assassin But when they
act outrageously foolish, they license
the sale of rum and punish by fine, i'm
prisonment or death, those that get bit
by the snake OF the still, according to
| the degree OF the crime committed while
under its influence, thus furnishing the
child that gets bit instead of the dog
that bites. We say, act wise, kill the
dog that bites, and abolish the rum that
ruins. Then none would get bitten by
it or iniure others while under its in

MANY FATALITIES.
Sixteen Persons Met Violent Deaths Last
 Week Near Connellsville.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa., Feb. 27.-Sixteen per sons were killed by as many dlfferent accl- dents during the past week on the ralHoaos and i'll and about the mines in this vicinity, being the greatest list of fatalities of a similar character on record in this state.

AN OLD MANS PROPERTY.
A Quarrel Over It's Disposition .Leesds to
 Two Murders.

CLEVELAND, Feb 27.-Lewis Chesrown, ST., 76 years of age, is a resident of Mohican- vile. He is estimated to have been worth about S9O,0O0. Of late years he has been per fectly helpless, and has resided with son. All of his property was deeded to his children upon the condition that they would keep him the remainder of his life For a number of years they have been quarreling over the di- vision. Recently Lewis Chesrown, Jr, was appointed guardian of his father. Another son lives in the house, and on last Wednesday both were decoyed from home, and, in their absence, the other sons called and carried away their aged father. The abductors were arrested on charges of assault and battery, and were bound over to court in the sum of $500 each.
 Lewis Chesrown, Jr., obtained writ of habeas corpus which was given to Constable W. H. Kelly to serve. He went to the house of John Chesrown Saturday, where the old man was confined. Five of the Chesrown boys were in the house, and they refused to open the doors Kelly got posse and forced an entrance. As he crossed the threshold he was shot by Elias Chesrown, and so badly wounded that he died Saturday night. Kelly's deputy, Jacob Halbert, next fell dead, with bullet ill his brain. Elias then jumped on horse and rode to the Ashland jail, where he gave himself up. Wesley Chesrown and his son Maurice are also under arrest

PREPARING HIS VETO.

Governor Green Will Confine His Ohjeo-
 tions to Constitutional Points.
 TRENTON, Feb. 27.-It is assumed that Gov ernor Green is preparing a veto of the com bination local option and high license bill that was put through the houses of the legis- lature last week. It is said that he has called in Attorney General Stockton to advise him as to the legal aspects of the bill, and ex-Gov- ernor Abbett is reported as having become interested in the coming state paper. The general idea is that the governor will avoid committing himself on the general policy pro- posed by the act, and will confine his objec- tions to constitutional points. He will doubt less attack the classification of the municipalities for the various grades of license as placing the act in antagonism to the provision of the constitution requiring gen. eral laws.
 The bill fixes $1OO as the minimum license fee in towns of less than 5000 inhabitants, $50 in towns of between 1000 and 10000 in- habitants, and S250 in all other towns and cities in the state. This classification will be denounced empirical and unreasonable, and so unconstitutional. The local option feature of the act will probably be also as- sailed on we'll known constitutional grounds.
 The veto message is due in the house Wed nesday afternoon.

A TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT.
Two Chinese Monks Burned to Death h
 a Crematory.

Crematory.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. N.-The Chimes mail which arrived yesterday brings the de- tails of remarkable tragedy in Buddhist monastery at Roundridge, near Canton. A number of monks and nuns appeared to take the vows of the order recently, and among the applicants were two unusually beautiful young women Two of the monks, after the others had gone from the temple, made a desperate assault on the young women. Their screams brought the others to the rescue. The abbot decided to turn the monks over to the civil magistrate, but later he decided to send themeback to the monastery for trial and punishment.
 Each offender received twenty flashes on the bare back in the presence of all the oth- CTS. This punishment so enraged the culprits that when released they armed themselves with knives and attacked the abbott This tune it was determined to make an example of them. It was resolved to burn the offend CTS to death in the crematory of the monas- tery, that the purifying influences of the fire might first cleanse their hearts Then it was hoped that even in their behalf the saving power of Buddha might be exerted On Jan 11 the sentence was carried out The two priests were carried bound into the crematory, and in the presence of the breth- ren and large crowd of spectators from the village they were burned to death

The Hatfields Still in Custody.

LOUISVILLE, Feb 27.-The nine Hatfelds, of West Virginia, held by the jailer of Pike county, Ky., for the murder of the McCoys, of that county, were produced in the Federal court here Saturday. Argument began at once and continued till night, with a short recess. As before, Governor Wilson was rep resented by MT. Eustace Gibson, and Cover nor Buckner by Attorney General Hardin and ex-Governor Knott. The petition of Cover nor Wilson was that the Hatfelds be released frc.n custody on the ground that they had been kidnapped. A decision will probably be rendered next week, and the petition, it is be- ieved, will be refused. An effort is being made to settle the matter between the gover- nOrS out of court,
