"The GraVest Bird"

The Owl for August departs from it's
former almost exclusive use of rhyme,
making some ambitious efforts at prose
satire. Col. Brash still reserves space,
however, for his unique rhymical COM
mentaries on current events, hitting
wherever he sees a head. His crack at
our "lokul scribe " is to be taken with
due penitence, inasmuch as there is a
shadow of justification therefor in the in
advertent neglect to notice the previous
appearance 1.-THE hooter. Being put on the
defensive, however, it may be mentioned
that the person so charged never tried to
stamp the Owls gizzard out; but the
sedate fowl of the air seems, in its politi-
cal etfusions, to need taking its own adj
vice by reading the p. G. A. slower and
with more discriminating judgment.
There is, for all that, room here for
periodical well-conducted of the Owl
kind.

The COIOneIcy.

For some days past dark horse" talk
has been the order of the day; and the
scheme materialized on Friday night
last. A meeting of the officers of the
native battalion was held at Nowlein's
saloon, with closed doors, guarded by
armed men from the Kings Guard
Resolutions of secrecy were passed, but
the proceedings have gradually leaked
out, and are now an open secret. At the
first ballt for candidates, Col. Ashford
received 6 votes, Major Nowlein and
Major Hebbard /. On the second ballot
Zone more officer having entered) Now
lien received 8, Ashford and Hebbard
none. The majority then tried to spring
the unit " rule on the meeting, but the
Ashford men would not have it, saying
they would vote for him first, last and
all the time. No other names were
formally proposed or even mentioned.
1t was held out to some of the Ashford
men (to get them to change their votes)
that Major Hebbard would swing the
anti-Ashford vote in the Rifles in favor
of Nowlein, but this did not succeed in
drawing as intended. Whether the
statement is true, our Informant did not
know

Information Wanted.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will Mr. B. F. Dillipg-
ham or Mr.. G. A. Brown please tell the
public a little more about the promoters
OF the Oahu railway? Both have told
the public that Mr.. Dillingham; will
have home hackers in his enterprise.
Who are the men? Would it not be well
to give few names? 1t might give the
public confidence.
1t has been said that Mr. Dillingham;
once offered to sell the franchise to a
syndicate of foreign capitalists if he gets
it. Is the report true? These questions
are not asked in any captious spirit, but
with the hope that they will call forth in
formation of value to the public.

Hawaiian blood did not make the task a
distasteful one.

A considerable share of the fair criti-
cism which has been aimed at this Leg
islature is directed at faults which it
shares with all other organizations of a
similar sort. Our own observations were
of this class. The universally of certain
offenses, if it does not excuse, at least
goes far to extenuate them. The pre-
sent Legislature, with all it's faults, is
still body of men characterized on the
whole not merely by probity, but by in
telligence as we'll. Either is a rare
virtue in a legislator, and any assembly
which possesses both of them in any
considerable degree deserves to rank
high. We think the present Legislature
does stand in that position. In spite Of
considerable dissatisfaction undoubtedly
existing here, it possesses, we think, the
pretty general respect of the country,
and that is saying a great deal. 1t has
brought about some very important re-
forms and probably will effect a number
of others. 1t is too early to write its
epitaph, but when the time for that
service comes we see no reason why it
may not be unlike most epitaphs) at
once 1attering and truthful.

Probate Division The Court orders
the will of Henry j. Hart admitted to
probate, and signs orders therefor. The
matter of bond is left till further notice.
Decision filed. A. Rosa files, on behalf
of the widow, notice of appeal. Justice
Preston after reviewing evidence and
objections of contestant, in the light of
authorities, concludes: 81 am of opinion
the execution of the will has been
proved, and [ order that the same be ad-
mitted to probate, and that letters
testamentary issue to Messrs. Cartwright
and Parke on their filing joint bond in
the sum of - thousand dollars" The
petition for probate stated the personal
property to consist of household furniture
and effects, insurance policies amount
ing to 81 POO, and half interest in the
Elite Ice Cream Parlors valued at $15,-
900. The will of the deceased devises to
his widow, Haleakala Hart, all the
household furniture and effects; to her
self and her children borne by her, viz.
Lionel (sOn), Louisa and Zillah (daugh-
ters) and Henry (son), all minors-his
interest in the Elite Ice Cream Parlors;
to Edmund and Edwin Hart, $500 each.
1t directs that James Steiner be manager
of the business above-named, and that
no final disposal thereof be made before
the minor children come OF age. The
minors are to be sent to California for
education on arriving at twelve years of
age in each ones case. The will is con-
tested by the widows attorney on the
ground of incomplete execution, in that
the witnesses-C. j. Fishel and A. Gar
tenberg-did not attest in each others
and testator's presence, and that the last
named witness had an indistinct recol-
lection of the nature of the document he
signed.
Law Division. In re bankruptcy of
Wong Leong & Co., OF Honolulu. The
list OF creditors filed shows an aggregate
of $50, 1863 Is of indebtedness. The
bankrupt has no property or no debtors.
Eleven claims are proved and J. S.
Walker is elected assignee under 500
bond.
In re bankruptcy of Antonio Frank
Vierra, OF Manoa. No appearance of or
for bankrupt. One claim is proved for
$40 and appointment of assignee ordered
to stand over for the present. The
scheduled liabilities of bankrupt amount
to 81 1862 so, and assets including debts
to 81 1904.

AS a matter of fact, the practice of
having laws made by a large elective
body is almost the worst in the world,
and most clumsy continuance, as Mill in
his Representative Government clearly
shows. Political science is not really very
far advanced, and the present plan is
followed, not because it is good, but in
default of anything. The wearing delay,
the want of foresight, the lack of pro-
portion and measure in the treatment of
topics, the subordination or total sacri-
flee of important to petty matters, the
indefinite postponement of pressing re-
forms, are great evils certainly but so
universal as to be almost inherent in the
system of constitutional government.
We do not withhold rebuke and criti-
cism on that account, but when a total
estimate is made it is folly to leave com
parison with other political assemblies
out of account. Surely an editor dealing
with the American Congress on its
merits, would have to write with his
pen stepped in gall. 1t is notorious that
the legislative assembly of the greatest
republic in the world, sits month after
month and month after month, and
hardly decent measure slips through
it. Witness the nugatory attempts that
have been made session after session, to
pass law protecting the property rights
of foreign authors. A hundred other ex-
amples might be given if our America

The truth is legislative bodies are
almost as naturally objects of abuse as
editors. That the former should exist
and the latter abuse them is as much a
part of the order of nature as the rising
and setting of the heavenly bodies.
Legislatures may be said to be like some
Courts, ex-officio and always objects of
contempt. Doubtless in our capacity of
tail Gas the Owl neatly puts it, we some
times grow somewhat frantic in our
futile attempt to wag the dog. The dog
generally stubbornly refuses to wag,
which sometimes rouses our editorial
wrath, but at least we do not fall so far
from sense as to conclude that the legis-
lators are all fools and blocks because
they do not see the world through our
spectacles.

WE were rather amused by the style
in which our esteemed evening cOntem-
porary took up our criticisms upon GER
tain action of the Legislature the other
day, and spun so much more out of them
than is consistent with truth and sense
Our contemporary seems to have a good
deal of difficulty in understanding po-
sition which after all is simple enough.
He is narrowed by the suspicion that we
are not quite " in accord" If being in
accord means letting the Ministers and
Legislature do ones thinking for one,
then it is true we are not in accord. The
ADVERTISER aims to be neither in accord
nor the opposite, but to be independent;
to criticize public affairs in the light of
principles. That is all we mean by in
dependence. When anything occurs
which strikes US as Objectionable, we
criticize it as a matter of course, but we
do it in a way calculated to rouse, to in
spire, and to help. Doubtless we fall
far short of our ideal, but our ideal seems
the only true one, none the less. Such
animadVersiOns as those of our re-
spected contemporary do not seem to
have this ideal in view. They are not
properly criticism at all. That journal
merely falls foul of the whole Legislature
and abuses it en- masse, holding the leg
islators up to public obloquy as set of
idiots and blocks, making it appear that
they are not whit more sensible or in
any way superior to the Legislature of
1886, for example. Now, everyone
knows this sort of talk is nonsense, and
though it may commend the Bulletin to
the extremely disaffected, the constitu-
tional kickers, it makes no impression
on the thoughtful and the just, and, SO
far as helping on political progress is
concerned, it is great deal worse than
useless.
