A Question OF =. consaaruiuity..

Ms EDToR There Is an unmistak-
able feeling Of Indignation IN this COM
munisy, 81 the action Of the Minister Of
Finance, in appointing Honolulu resi-
dent as member Of the Board Of Appeals
Tor the districts OF Hilo and Kau.
One can not do otherwise than con-
gratulSte the Minister Of Finance for his
Discerning faculty OF the fitness Of things,
as instzneed in this appointment, for if
familiarity with the land and growing
crop values in the Hilo and Kan districts
Is to form one Of the requirements, the
selection Of man who knows nothing
about them, who Is not even resident
Of this island, but who IS the near rela-
tive 10 the principal stakeholder in s
firm which owns four Of the largest plan
tstiOns in the Hllo district, also nearly
One-haf Of the whole district OF kau. all
this demonstrates 70 the voters OF 1890
the remarkable sagGcIty Of the Minister
OF Finance But there Is really nothing
funny IN this business IT all, and the
Honolulu taxpayer NAV wrap the sllken
draperIes OF MS couch around him. to
dream Of that delightful future when
some distinguished citizen IRON Puma
shall SIT IN Judgment on his property
valuation, whatever the plantation at
turney editor OF the "HiIo Blatherskite''
may say TO the contrary.
Again, the HilO and Kan taxpayer viii
naturally ask, Why It Is, that II the Cir
cult Judge OF the third Judicial Circuit.

Was declared unable TO sit Is such by
reason OF eonSan -uInity with the asses
SOC or Hawaii, the same objection did
not affect the eligibility OF Mr. Carter's
appointment No one viii question the
LAttsr's honest intentions or fairminded-
ness; bat L certainly looks queer that
the Minister should not alone have ig-
uOred relationship IN an appointment
that ought never To have been made,
but he must needs hasten TO tap the
treasury 10 an extent tenfold TO what it
would have been had resident from the
districts assessed been appointed.
Some who have thus lar supported the
Cabinet n It's measures and policy, unite
TO Condemn this last act Of selecting 4
nonresident, who may or may not De
qualified, Is an unwise discrimination
and not content with giving Us this slap

yesterday, and his case taken under ad-
visement. In the course of his testi-
mony he swore that he bad not stolen
the mower, but had received it from an
other man who had stolen it, and ha had
agreed to sell it FIR him. The receiving
of stolen goods is a felony, whereas
petty larceny is only misdemeanor, so
the youths attempt to get out of the
scrape may land him in the penitentiary
instead OF the County Jail.
E. A. Weed, the editor Of an East Los
Angeles weekly paper, who is awaiting
trial in Justice Sawyer's court for en-
bezzlement, was brought before Justice
Lockwood, yesterday, on new COM
plant for the same offense. The
charge is brought by S. B. Griffin,
OF the East Side who complains
that, on the 18th of December,
Weed "did purloin the sum of $435 in
lawful money!" which was entrusted to
his care by the Loan and Building Asso-
citation. Weed claims that this is exactly
the same charge as the other.
