He Was an Exception.

A thin, delicate looking woman sat in
San Francisco horse car one evening
recently, and next her sat native of the
Queens realm. The window behind the
Briton was open, and the cool wind blew
in on the woman, making her shiver.
At last she said, in ladylike way:
"Won't you be kind enough to close the
window behind you, as it makes me very
cold?" 1t would hardly have caused the
man any inconvenience to grant the
request, but he replied harshly Il prefer
it open; you Americans can't stand
ANYTHING; you all seem to have consump-
tion." The other passengers III the car
were astouDded at his incivility, and there
were many angry glanccs cast at the
royal subject. Finally n gentleman ros 9
on the opposite side Of the car, and, APP
preaching the Englishman, with about 220
pounds avoirdupois, leaned over him, and,
grasping the window, slammed it down
with vigor; then he remarked: Now, my
friend, if you think all Americans are
afflicted with consumption, you just raise
that window again. | am an American.
The little woman blushed, the other pas
sengers smiled. the American returned
to his seat, aud the Briton looked out OF
the window and thought

see how his crime could be regarded as
anything else than willful murder. we
have singled out these two instances as
illustrations Of the difficulty of obtaining
convictions, even where the Government
has what seem to be perfectly good cases,
because one was tried before native,
and the other a foreign jury. In the
former case, it is conceivable that some
of the jurors might have been swayed
unconsciously by race sympathy. But
it is hardly to be supposed that twelve
white men had any special prejudice in
favor of a Chinaman, as such, and there
was nothing about the personality of the
man to enlist any particular interest.

Letter From Oregon.

Mr.. EDITOR: The first vessel sailing
from this port direct to Honolulu in
many years was the American bark
Coloma, a sister ship to the Alden Besse.
The Coloma left her dock October 30th,
and crossed the Columbia river bar
lulu November 10Th. The Coloma carries
an invoice of apples for Honolulu and
China, (Hongkong). The quality of this
fruit is superior to any shipped and
opens a way probably to further ship
ments provided they reach their destin-
alton in good order. A number Of pas
sengers and some two hundred China
men are booked for China, the former of
whom will have the pleasure of a few
days stay in your delightful climate,
which all reports lead us to understand
it is. Captain Noyes and others carry
some specimens of choice Oregon fruit,
grain and vegetables, which your people
can inspect by visiting the vessel. While
Puget Sound can supply the Islands with
lumber, Oregon can send you fruits,
flour and other products OF fine quality
in exchange for your rice, sugar, and
tropical fruits.
Some months ago the Islands were
comparatively unknown in this section,
but at last the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany have dispatched to this place a
goodly supply of literature, pictures of
the volcano and the tirst-class vessels,
which attract much attention. This ad-
vertising will be productive of much good
to the Islands and in return Oregon will
be favored. Through the guide book a
vast amount of information hitherto I'M
known is disseminated.
Occasionally citizens of the Islands
visit this part of the country and all ex-
press delight with our State. In this
community are a number of former resi-
dents OF Honolulu and the islands, among
whom are Mr.. Ed. r. Adams, Mr.. G. F.
Pfuger, Miss Mcintyre and Mr.. @. @.
Fallenius. Mrs. VIM. Mcclure, who re-
turned recently from Honolulu, is quite
low and may live but short time. Rev.
Mr.. SellwoOd and wife returned greatly
improved about a month ago. Mr.. Sell
woods remarks about the Islands in the
Oregonian were interesting reading, as is
anything about your wonderful country.

The Fisheries.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is probably true that
those who claim ownership in our sea
fisheries, by inheritance or purchase,
based on ancient custom and recognized
prescription, have some kind of tech
nical title therein, which our courts
would sustain, were the matter to come
before them. At the same time cannot
quite accept the doctrine of the Bulletin,
that the foundation of private ownership
in the fisheries is identical with that of
ownership in the land. At the point
where our modern ideas and Anglo
American jurisprudence touches the
traditional Hawaiian system, there may
be no outward or formal difference. The
ownership, practically, in both the land
and the sea, and all things therein, and
the common people acquiescing in these
claims. In this sense, the titles now
held under, and derived from, one kind
Of ancient Chiefish authority may be
equally valid with those originating in
another. At the same time it must not
be forgotten, that while some of the
rights thus claimed and exercised and
aCquleSced in, were in accordance with
the recognized and established princi-
plies controlling such matters in the most
advanced and liberal nations, others were
of an entirely different character, and be-
lOnged essentially to an age of popular
ignorance and feudal barbarism. It
seems to me that there is a real and
fundamental difference between the basis
OF ownership in the land and in the sea.
This difference arises from the fact that
land can be enclosed, cultivated, con-
trOlled and increased in productiveness
and intrinsic value, while the sea can
not. Private ownership in land may be,
as some philosophers maintain, based
originally on uSurpatiOn and violence.
But there are certainly strong arguments
in favor of the recognition and continu-
ance OF such ownership, which do not
apply to any similar claims regarding
the sea. am glad to see that the Bull
letin comedies with my idea of the JUS
tice and propriety of the Government
obtaining control by purchase of such
interests in the sea fisheries as a proper
judicial inquiry shall show to be now
vested in any private individuals. The
welfare of the people is the supreme
law. presume there is no question as
to the general power of the Legislature
to take at a proper valuation private
property for public uses. In such cases,
there are customary and well understood
methods for assessing the amount OF
damages to be paid. OF course, the pri-
Vate owners cannot be allowed to fix any
extravagant and fancy price they may
choose. PRISCAToR.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1888.

The recurrence of murders on the
island of Hawaii is becoming unpleas-
antly monotonous. The sparseness of
the population over large districts, the
rOughness of country and the poor means
of communication in many places, the
small numbers and scattered locations of
the police, and possibly, in some in
stances, the ineficiency of a portion of
them, all conspire to render the commits
sion of crime easy, and prompt pursuit
of the criminal comparatively difficult.
Some of these difficulties are, for the
present, insurmountable. Others, we
think, could be provided against by
greater degree of care and fOrethOught,
and an expenditure of money not out
of proportion to the value of the results
to be gained. But it is not of these
things that we desire to speak at this
time. We fear that, in addition to the
inherent difficulties of preventing crime
and experimenting criminals, tho ma
chinery for convicting and Furnishing
those who are actually caught, some
times fails so signally as to be of itself an
encouragement to crime, rather than
terror to evil-doers. Against the judges
of our higher courts no complaints in
this direction will fairly lie, and the
prosecuting officers, as a rule, perform
their duties with intelligence and fd-
city. 1t is regrettable fact, however,
that juries, not infrequently, fail to
realize, or adequately meet, their share
of the responsibility. 1t is not alone in
the case of crimes for which the law
prescribes capital punishment that these
failures of justice occur. At the last
term of the Supreme Court, a case of
illicit liquor selling at VIGOROUSLY dis
reputable resort, which had been APP
pealed from the Police Court, resulted in
disagreement of the jury, although the
amount and directness of the evidence
was such as to apparently preclude the
possibility of any verdict except that of
guilty. In the case of capital crimes,
juries naturally, and very properly,
refuse to convict without the clear
est evidence, and the absence of
any alternative theory which could
afford any reasonable doubt of guilt.
But gentlemen who enter the jury box
under solemn and public obligation to
find a verdict according to the law and
evidence, seem sometimes to disregard
both, in blind determination not to
find the prisoner guilty of a crime for
which the punishment is death. The
result of the trial of the Chinaman for
killing a woman near the Chinese
Theatre, not many months ago, was
great surprise and disappointment to
many people. Had the jury chosen to
consider the evidence as insufficient, and
so acquitted the prisoner. they would |
have acted within their legal discretion,
however much that discretion might |
have seemed to other people to have |
been strained. But admitting, as the !
jury did by their verdict, that the prisoner
lad killed the woman, we are unable to |

THE TRUST SUIT.
What is Alleged Against the Combina-
ton.

ton.
The complaint prosecuted by Attorney
General Johnson against the American
Sugar Refinery Company, alleges as fol-
lows:
That on March l, 1888, the defendant,
disregarding the purpose for which it was
incorporated, surrendered the manage
ment of it's concerns and the control Of
its business to body of men known as
the Sugar Refneries Company, and to
that end did deliver to the Sugar Rein
cries Company it's entire capital stock
namely, 10000 shares of the value OF
500 each, aggregating 81 100000, and
took in lieu thereof certificates issued by
the Sugar Refneries Company of the
face value of 81 100000.
Said Sugar Refneries Company is an
association of individuals residing out OF
and not residents of the State of Califor
MIA, formed and operated for the purpose
of limiting the supply, and thus advanc-
ing the price OF sugar, and Is not a cor
pOratiOn, but is an unlawful combination
aud monopoly acting in all restraint of
trade.
The defendant since about March l,
1888, has not carried on the business for
which it was incorporated, but, on the
contrary, has become amalgamated with
the Sugar Refneries Company, and has
ceased to maintain its identity and to ex
ercise the function for which it was in
corpOrated. 1t is, therefore, asked that
the charter of the defendant company be
vacated and it's franchise forfeited.
