BENEDICT's CIVIL SERVICE.
y Crushing Weight of Testimony ut
Yesterdays Investigation.

The utter incapacity of number of the
government printing office officials, THE"
Benedict included, was proven more conclu
siyely than heretofore yesterday by a
number Of employees. Any person in
authority, who failed TO know and
see that political contributions
was taken up in the office last fall 20 gid The the
clearly proven his own uniimess to occupy
any position In any government institution
outside of an involuntary one IN hospital
REPRESENTATIVE Gallinger's first witness was
Miss Mamie +. Walsh, and she swore that
when a Miss Sammons solicited u campaign
contribution, she Miss Sammonsl. stated that
knowIedge U % and consentol Benedict. Witness
said she refused to contribute, but she knew
that the great majority of the women IN the
folding room gave something, some even as
little as 10 cents. while others went as high as
half a dollar.
Miss Kate zell and Mrs, Mary A. Black gave
similar testimony; .-.
F. Davis, William Il. Barbour, Richard C.,
Lappan, Thomas ii. Greenfield, George Sar-
gent, and William Shepherd who swore that
they knew of solicitations and contributions
for the Democratic campaign fund. They had
contributed, some of them freely, and in vio
lqti9n, as they knew, Of section twelve OF the
civil selN ice law.
Mr.. Edward NJ. Adams, representing the
Winona Paper Company of Holyoke, Mass,
related some interesting facts as to contracts
with the government printing office, and also
as TO the advantages enjoyed by Buckley,
Raiguel Il Co, of Philadelphia. He said that
members of that firm were In Holyoke before
the bids for paper We're opened, and told him
that they Bulkley, Raiguel 4 Coz We're going
TO get the contract; they wanted the WinOna
Company TO supply them. Witness said his
firm would not supply them because they had
no standing in the trade. They openly
boasted in Ilolyoke that they had pull

TMe ssiIo Liquor Prosecutions.

The last contingent of the Bar who
were engaged at the Hilo Circuit, and
in the notorious liquor prosecutions
before the Police Court of that place,
returned by the Kinau on Sunday, but
Mr. Justice McCully remains another
week at Hilo, with his family. There
was exceptional interest exhibited all
through the liquor trials. The Court
room and all approaches thereto We're
crowded with spectators during the
whole of the nine days which the AiOna
case consumed in the Police Court.
Besides this most unusual amount OF
time, there were parts OF three different
days spent on the same matter in argu-
ing applications on behalf of AiOna, first
for writ of habeas corpus, and second
ly for a writ OF certiOrari--the former
before the full bench on circuit. the
latter before Mr.. Justice McCully, sitting
as Judge of the Supreme Court in
Chambers. In both cases, after long
and exhaustive arguments, Judgment
was given against the petitioner, and
the trial proceeded. Mr.. Neumann,
assisted by Mr.. Creighton, conducted the
defense in the criminal charge and the
arguments for the writs Colonel Ash
ford contra. The great fight OF the
series was made on this case; but de-
PENDANT was convicted and fined $500
and costs, and a large amount of liquor
cOnfiscated. The same was the result
in all the other cases, six in number,
the amount of fines ranging from 800
(when the party pleaded ''guilty'D to
$500, which was the figure in most
instances. Some of the parties have
paid up their fines, while others have
noted appeals to the jury.
Sheriff Hitchcock seems to realize
that he has strong combination to
fight against in the Crooked" whiskey
ring of the Island of Hawaii; but he is
certainly going about it in the right
way. He has already broken the back
of the traffic in the Hilo district-a
traffic SO firmly established that most of
those ''run in" had supplies of liquor on
hand which would exceed, in variety
and quantity, the stores of the average
licensed retail dealer. Every case was
and ably defended; but the
manner in which the prosecution "got
there" augurs hard lines for crooked
whiskey in the future, and a guaranty
that those who now profess to execute
the laws are living up to their pro-
feSSiOn

THE two political communications pub
lished in the ADVERTISER of yesterday
should receive the most care ul atten-
ton. That by Judge Hartwell is espe-
cially full of ripe and matured opinion
on the present situation. 1t deserves to
be made a campaign document, a text
from which an entire future policy may
we'll be elaborated. How any one who
pretends to nationality can read it and
then say that there was nothing well
founded in the discomfort which led to
the Revolution, except an ambition for
office, the clamor of the outs to be ms, is
something which cannot be understood
unless one reflects how complex are the
forces that mould opinion, and how small
share reason or insight have in the
process.
