THE outrage 30 often pcrpetrated upon
the public by the County Court, and for
which II is more responsible than We can
put in words-that Of filling important
county Offices with candidates from their
own ranks-has borne It's legitimate fruit
in the gross acknowledgement Of the County
Work house. Squire Mason. in charge Of
that institution, has been indicted by the
Grand Jury for misieasance, and he is
open TO the charge Of criminal negligence
in managing and controlling the pris-
oncn committed TO his charge, who
do not hesitate 10 leave before the expira-
ton Of tho term Of their sentences.
Judge DuBose is looking into this mat
ter, and We confidently hope will make an
example Of Mason and any others who
may be guilty with him. Tho full penalty
Of tho law should be enforced against
him. A work-housc should be managed
rs strictly as a penitentiary, and the pun
ishmcnt ordered by the court be inflicted
under prison rules. The people will sus-
tain Judge DuBosc in the rigid and fullest
enforcement Of the law against Mason.

GHnlSING A KnSRAND.

Husbands are not made to order;
they just grow. To get good one
you have to know him when you see
him. He may not look like the
man your fancy painted, yet you
will recognize in him the qualities
that go 10 make up the reliable, en-
terprising amiable man. As rule
women are not possessed of acute
business minds, and are not as OBJ
servant as they might be. One
after another they will fall into the
same open trap, just as though they
were blindfolded or were impelled
by some uncomfortable force. The
majority Of them seems to think
they must marry, and all that is
necessary is to find man that is
good-looking or rich. Thea vreage
girl first takes fancy to a pretty
man, and thinks and dreams of his
lovely hair, charming eyes, elegant
dress, divine mustache and dove
like voice. She declares that he is
too sweet for anything. This fever
passes off in time, but too often
leaves asperverted taste. A dandy
figure, swell manners and Gathering
tongue are apt to even outweigh a
good heart, Industrious habits and
moral worth. Even after marriage
visions of the early ideal rise up to
disturb the serenity and tranquility
of the domestic scene. Better such
an ideal had never been formed.

SUPREME COURT SUGGESTIONS.

Chief Justice Judd of the Su-
preme Court, in his report to the
Legislature, recommends in regard
to the Royal Commission appointed
by the Extra Session, to report upon
needed changes in the system of
the judiciary of this kingdom,
"that whatever changes are pro-
posed should receive the most de-
liberate> and careful attention and
with full knowledge of the condi-
ton of our island communities.
The Chief Justice also makes the
following suggestions, which are of
public interest:-
l. There are frequent occasions
for the exercise of the power of eX-
animation and commitment for trial
by the local Circuit Judges and the
comforting of such jurisdiction upon
them, concurrent with that possess
ed by Police and District Justices,
would greatly assist in the investi-
CATION of serious crimes.
2. The expenses of witnesses in
criminal cases is an increasing item
and is often a matter of delicacy
and difficulty in adjustment. re-
commend that fixed rate of mile
age be allowed them, sufficient to
cover actual outlay for conveyance
and food.
8. Jurors are, by force of the Act
of 1884, paid two dollars per diem
and one dollar for each verdict.
The State bears the cost of the pei
diem fee and losing parties bear
only the fee for the verdict
The law should put the whole cost

FIGURES FROM THE SUPREME
COURT REPORT.

The Chief Justices biennial re-
port to the Legislature contains fig
ures of value to the statistician,
many of which are also of interest
to any one who wishes to possess
general outline knowledge of the af
fairs of the nation. We proceed to
reproduce few of the latter class,
for the benefit of those of our read
who have not access to the report.
The total number of new cases
entered in the Supreme Court dur
ing the years 1886 and 1887 was
I'll. The entire number of persons
convicted of crimes, in all Courts
throughout the Kingdom, for two
years, is 6,G22. OF these 1883
were Chinese, 100 japanese, 723
Portuguese, 1922 Hawaiians and
1884 other nationalities, including
Americans, English, Germans, etc.
The total shows decrease from the
preceding biennial period of 932.
Taking the census of 1884 as q
basis, and emitting the japanese
and Portuguese, on account of the
census not representing even ap'
proximately their numbers, the per-
centage of criminals to population
is: Chinese 9.2S per cent, Hawai-
ian 11.95, Foreign 24.21.
There were arrested throughou
the kingdom for affrays, assaults
and assaults and batteries of al
descriptions 1886 persons, being
one less than the preceding period
The arrests for drunkenness were
2,085, as against 2,542 the preced
ing period. 1871 persons were con
victed of drunkenness, of whom 2;
were Chinese, 26 Japanese, l3C
Portuguese, 1,162 Hawaiians anc
$50 of other nationalities. In thu
Police Court of Honolulu the arrest
for drunkenness have decreased
from 1919 in 1S84-5 to ], ,406 TO
1867. The civil business has in
creased in the same Court.
