THE COMING ELECTION.

The election of a Noble, to fill the
vacancy caused by the demise of the
late S. G.. Wilder, will be held to-
morrow. For the district of Homo
lulu there will be three polling
places. Wards /, ,, and will vote
at the House of Engine Company
No. A Wards 4 and ) at the Bell
Tower and Wards 6, Z, s, and al
the Honolulu Rifles Armory. The
polls will open at 8 O'clock a. m.
and close at O. clock p. IN.
There are two candidates in the
field, Mr.. w. c. Wilder and MI. j.
l.. Kaulukou. The former repre-
sents the Reform party, and the
latter the Opposition. Both gentle
men are well known.
Mr.. Wilder's record in this coun-
try is that of a shrewd, straight,
and honorable business man, in con-
nection with the firm Which bears
his name, and of which the late S.
G. Wilder was the founder and
head. He now seeks for the first
time, at the request of electors. a
public position, which is a re-
sponsible position, position to
which is attached no pay but GER
tain liability to all kinds of criti
cism, a position in which no man
can ever give entire satisfaction to
all.
The gentleman, in our opinion, is
qualified for the position TO which
he aspires. A practical business
man, man of good common sense,
q man who thinks for himself and
does not depend upon others to per-
form that task for him, a man of few
words who is not likely to waste the
time of the House on trilcs, but tc
60 straight to the point without cir
cumlocution. These are qualifica
tions not always to be found in can
didates or members. Mr.. Wilde
has them all, and they recommenC
him to the consideration of th'
electors.
Some voters express unconcerl
about going to the polls, asserting
that there is only this one man il
=. the field entitled TO support, and hi
is bound to be elected, anyhow
Don't be so sure of that The way
to make Mr.. Wilder's election secure
is to go to the polls and cast youl
votes for him.

OUTSIDE VIEW OF THE SESSION.

EDITOR BULLETN:-The Adyer-
tiser of the 18th inst. regrets that
the Legislature has not taken deci7
sive action on the bill to reorganize
the judiciary, and amongst other
reasons for its disappointment, says
that there is no knowing what the
composition of the Legislature of

Now, Sir, judging the mental
calibre of this House by the acts
that have been passed, the tone of
the debates that have taken place,
the constant changes in the votes,
without any apparent reasoni for it
is not unusual TO see the majority

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Ar ILhScON EEcHloN'
Noble Smith said that when Min
lister Ashford dawned on this world
there must have been some cOnstitu-
tional arrangement, rs everything
that he opposes is on the grounds of
its unconstitutionality. He said he
hoped this bill, which is of vital i'm
portance to the country, would not
be killed, but that the committee
when they rose would refer it back
to the Special Committee for revi-
sion.
Rep. Nakaleka spoke in favor of
referring it back to the Committee
for revision.
Rep. Kauhi said we have been
discussing this matter about 4 hours.
We have been talking and fishing,
but have caught nothing but a small
crab.
Noble Townsend said we may
have caught crab, but we are fish
ing for whale. He thought this
was one of the most impqssant mat
ters that had come beforetnis House
and he was decidedly against laying
the bill on the table, but would like
to see the bill 60 back to the com,
mittee. He did not like the bill as
it was, but believed it could bt
amended.
The ayes and noes were called tc
table the bill.
Ayes 10, noes 20.
Rep. Kinney moved to refer to /
Select Committee: Composed of th
Attorney-General, Mobiles Young

The committee then rose and re
ported that the motion to refer tn
bill to Select Committee, com
posed of the AttoIney-General
Mobiles Young, Castle and Rep. Ma
kaleka, had carried. The report wa
adopted.
Minister Thurston under suspen
sion of the rules gave notice of
bill to facilitate the settlement o
homesteads.
Minister Ashford moved to recon
slider the vote on Sections AZ, 46

voting in directly the opposite way
it strikes me that the committee
which recommended the postpone
ment of the bill did the very wisest
thing possible under the circum-
stances, as they evidently realized
how hopeless task it would be to
explain the provisions of this impor-
tant measure to the House, and how
impossible to get an intelligent cN-
preston of opinion on question of
its magnitude.
Bills of the Importance of the one
under discussion, which contem-
plates a radical change in so impor-
tant q department as the Supreme
Court, can only he inteligently
handled by persons Of education
and experience, or those who are
possessed of the powers of reasoning
and reflection. two attributes that
in the composition of the present
House are conspicuously absent,
therefore think, sir, that the Editor
of the Advertiser need give himself
no further anxiety about the next
Legislature, rs l maintain that il
will be almost impossible to select
one that will be the intellectual in
ferior of that now in session.
In conclusion | would recon-
mend the worthy gentlemen now

competent to grapple with, such a'
Pound matters, and stray pigs; lie

that be amended? 1t ought t.

burning question of how muc

currency haif dollar piece OF 1855 without

clares that he has heard Of but one other
piece like it, and thinks the value Of this
piece is between 500 and $1,000. He thinks
that the omission OF the arrows from the cIo
was discovered after a mere handful of coins
had been struck OF. The die was then bro
ken and the few coins sent into circulation.
Save for the two above mentioned all have

issue was sent into Florida 10 pay for sup
