MANDAMUS GRANTED.

The Minister of the Interior Without
Discretion to Limit the Number of
Saloon Licenses-Given Until Mon
day to License the Keystone or
Show Cause why He Should Not.
Judge Dole on Thursday rendered a
decision on the demurrer OF L. a. Thurs
ton, Minister OF the Interior, to the petit
ton for mandamus OF William r. Chiffon
and Henry Bradley, for compelling a
license to be issued to one OF them. An
alternative writ OF mandamus had been
issued, requiring the Minister to issue
the license or show cause why he should
not do so. The defendant had demurred
to the petition on the ground that the
81 900 fee had not been paid nor the re-
quislte approved bond furnished for the
license. But the petition alleged that
fee and bond were rendered, which the
Court considers sufficient. A second
ground of the demurrer was that, under
our statute, the granting of a retail spirit
license is entirely within the discretion
of the Minister of the Interior. The pc
tition alleged that the application for a
license was refused "solely on the ground
that the defendant has decided to issue
no more such licenses in Honolulu"
Upon examination OF presidents, the
Court finds that, where discretion is adj
mitted in an officer to issue similar Ii
censes, it is nowhere allowed that he
should exercise an arbitrary discretion or
one founded upon caprice. Authorities
al fal fha
tees had refused a license because the
applicant had not taken out spirit Ii
cense, and another, identical with the one
in consideration, where they had laid
down the general rule that they would
grant no more licenses in the locality.
In such cases there is really no exer-
else of discretion at all, and it is very
much as if the license had been refused
because the applicant wore blue coat
or a white hat"
The Court proceeds +" These authori-
ties, which appear to me to be based
upon sound legal principles, are clearly
opposed to the right Of the Minister OF
the Interior even admitting his discre-
ton to limit the number of retail spirit
licenses in Honolulu That is a power
which belongs to the Legislature only.
Having reached these conclusions, it
is unnecessary for me at this stage of the
proceedings to decide whether or not the
wording of the statute gives the Minister
a discretion in granting OF the license in
question, for in either case should re-
gard the allegations OF the petition as
sufficient to make prima facie case.
The demurrer is therefore over-ruled, |
and the defendant is allowed until Mon
day the 18th inst. at 10 a. M, to obey |
the alternative writ issued herein"

General G. w. Ashford for respondent.

THREE millions of boxes, is the esti-
mated orange crop of the State of Florida,
for the year 1888. So says an item
from an Eastern paper, published in
yesterdays ADVERTISER. We wonder if
these figures suggest anything in the
way Of possible enterprise to any one in
these Islands, having land suitable fer
growing this fruit, or means to engage in
its cultivation. There are certainly con-
siderable areas well suited in soil and
climate to this purpose. The average
quality of the oranges we do raise is more
than respectable, and many Of them are
excellent. Doubtless further improve
ment would follow, were the enterprise
carried on upon larger scale and more
Systematically, and intelligent care used
in the selection of the varieties to be cul-
tivated Our own knowledge of the
matter, We confess, is limited. Our
opinion, based on what we have been able
to learn, is that the great obstacle to the
enlargement of this field of production
has been, heretofore, the anxiety Of those
having capital and business capacity, to
secure not only large, but quick returns.
The man who plants an orange grove,
large or small, knows that he has got to
wait several years before he can pos
sibly get anything back. The poor man
cannot afford to wait, and he of larger
means has not been willing to. Still, if
intelligent men, having the means at
their command, can afford to labor and
wait in other countries, it seems as
though some of the same class might
afford to do the same here.

American Notes,

The press of Central America favor the
union OF the five republics.
Adolph Spreckels says no bargain has
been made with the sugar trust.
At Jacksonville thirty-one new cases
OF yellow fever and four deaths were re-
ported for the past twenty-four hours.
Judge Sawyer discharged ten Chinese
sailors of the steamer Colima on habeas
corpus writs, on the ground that during
their voyage to and from Panama they
were never out of American Territory,
being on an American vessel.
The latest staying device of the Chinese
is to swear out certificates OF their birth
in America and their removal when very
young to China. Then they go to Mexico
and try to get permanent footing in the
United States on returning with these
certificates.
William H. Holcomb succeeds Thos.
J. Potter as vice-Dresident and chief ex-
ecutive officer of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn. Surplus earnings for the first six
months were $4,415,3S5, an increase of
$290,099. The mileage is now 4,764
miles. At the meeting nothing was said
about dividend.
Acting Secretary OF the Treasury
Thompson stated that no matter how
many pretexts were raised to allow
Chinese laborers to get into the country,
his department would endeavor to carry
out the Exclusion Act to its strictest re-
quirements. He also expressed satisfac-
ton that the Tacoma Courts had sus-
tanned the department decisions The
Acting Secretary, in response to tele-
gram from the Collector of Customs at
San Francisco, modified his previous de-
cision so that vessels carrying Chinese
laborers from San Francisco to Panama
may touch at Acapulco, Mexico

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
Five Days Later than Last MaiI-Per
Barkentine Planter, San Francisco,
October 25th.
The Presidential Election.

Connecticut is conceded to the Re-
publicans, New jersey is expected to
give about its old-time Democratic ma
jority and West Virginia is avowedly
close.
A telegram of Republican color from
Washington reports the heads of depart
ments gone or going out electioneering
Only the Secretary OF War and the At
torney-General will be left in the city
next week. The President himself was
going to New York to review the Demo-
cratic procession.
With certain States safe for them, the
Democrats are fighting for New York,
Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, West
Virginia, California and Michigan. The
popular impression in Washington is that
California and Michigan are much safer
to the Republicans than West Virginia,
Connecticut, Indiana ard New York are
to Democrats, so that harder fighting is
necessary for the latter, both in the mis-
sionary field and at home The Demo
Gratis feel safer in New York and New
Jersey than in Connecticut, West Vir-
GINA or Indiana The Republicans have
but to hold their own ard concentrate on
New York
In Washington, where personal con-
siderations influence the judgment of
men in political affairs more largely
than in any other place in the United
States, it is correspondingly difficult to
obtain an unbiased view Of the situation.
There is no doubt, however, that the
general opinion under the upper crust of
personal and political prejudice is that
Harrison will be elected The inform
alton from New York State outside of
the city is that the Republicans will gain
heavily The ablest Democratic politi-
clans concede that the triangular fight in
New York City over the local Offices
gives an opportunity for trading votes
which more than offsets any increase Of
strength for the national ticket that in
tense party feeling might create. The
large increase of registration in New York
and Brooklyn confounds both parties
and neither side seems to know just
where this vote will land.

THE column or SO of print in which a
Bulletin correspondent with a Latin
pseudonym professed to give the charges
against the present Government and its
supporters, in definite and specific form,
was as destitute of substance as an ex-
ploded soap-bubble. He starts out with
an apparently frank admission Of the
fairness of the request to specify the
charges made against the Government, F"
and adds, 'I shall endeavor to state in a
condensed form what are the leading
charges at the present time" Having
made this promising beginning, he goes
straight on, and never, to the end of his
letter, gives SO much as one single fact
orfgure to justify his general conclusions.
Anyway, he ought, if only for the repu-
tatlon of the journal for which he writes,
70 have made better showing. A
Ministry, a portion Of whom are compar-
atively new in public life, can hardly
come into power as the result of reyo-
luton, and hold Office for sixteen months
under exceptionally trying circum-
stances, going in the meantime through
two legislative sessions, without afford
ing some fair ground for criticism, and
making some mistakes which could be
definitely stated in black and white. But
this class of writers seem to have an in
vincible repugnance to facts, even such
as might be made to tell in their own
favor. They seem to be incapable Of
dealing in anything but generalities of
the loosest kind. A more complete, and
even pitiable collapse, could hardly be
