OPINION OF THE COURT BY DOLE, J.
An important issue in the con-
sideration of this case on the
merits, is the question whether the
rule in Shelley's case, is in force
here, and it was objected that the
settlement of that issue would fav-
orably or injuriously affect the title
of the Chief Justice in a piece of
real estate lately purchased by
him, and that he is therefore dis
qualified to sit at the trial of this
case, under Article 10 of the Con-
stitution. This article provides
that no person shall sit as a judge
or juror in any case in the issue of
which he may have any pecuniary
interest.
The following provision appears
in a certain will in the chain of
title of the land in question
Subject to my debts and the
legacies hereinafter granted with
which l first charge my estate, I
give and bequeath all my
property both real and personal
and mixed to my beloved daughter
Eliza Vincent Wood and her heirs,
the same to be held in trust how
ever by my executors herein pro-
vided for, during the natural life of
my said daughter, and the same to
be managed and controlled by them
for her use and benefit, they account
ing for and paying over to her the
income from the same upon her
reasonable request, and upon her
decease, in case she has not during
her life time disposed of the said
estate by will or otherwise, tits my
will that my executors distribute
the said estate and any increase
thereof among the legal heirs of
my said daughter according to the
law then existing for the distribu-
ton of estates of intestates."
The land was sold by the devisee
to A. F. Judd, her husband, and
the administrator with the will an
nexed, joining in the deed.
The will, by the sentence, sin
case she has not during her lifetime
disposed of the said estate by will
or otherwise" clearly recognizes in
the devisee the power of selling the
real estate, and may be said to
have conferred such power on her.
This feature of the will takes all
question of the title of this land
out of the rule in Shelley's case,
and we therefore find that the Chief
Justice is not pecuniarily inter
ested in the settlement of the case
at issue.

Hawaiian Hardware Co.. Id.
Monday, liar. u 1899.

The financial depression at
this time is having its effect
upon business and the firm
that sells as much during the
current month as was sold in
the same month last year is do
ing remarkably well. We
mean to do it. Our sales each
month shows an increase over
the corresponding period last
year and what may be said
OF previous months we hope to
say of March. You can't ex-
pect money to float easy with
three or four millions of dollars
locked up in four sugar plan
tatlons that are not paying
dividends-that amount of
money is a great deal in a
country of only 10000 popula-
ton but there is still some in
circulation and our stock of
goods warrant our saying that
we're going to help circu-
late it.
Never since we have been
in business have we had so
complete an assortment to
tempt the buyer. In a measure
we have been preparing for the
depression by buying largely
where we could buy well. The
stock speaks for the good--ex-
ira good judgment displayed.

WE ARE RUINED BY CHINESE CHE IA.

A letter has been received in this
Office, signed by three Chinese resi-
dents complaining of the gambling
going on with shameless openness
in Chinatown. The letter is I'M
suited to publication, but its allie
cations are important. It says
that the gambling goes on day and
night without interruption, to an
extent hitherto unknown, that it is
drawing large numbers into
squandering their earnings at
games of chance, and has assumed
such proportions as to constitute
a serious interruption to business.
The letter closes with an earnest
request to foreign residents to petit
ton the government to take some
action in the matter.
The sentiments of this communi-
cation are only those of everyone
who has given any attention to the
matter, for the facts are too notori-
Gus to permit denial or extenua
ton. Every day Maunakea street
and the neighborhood of Kauma-
kapili Church are crowded with
persons eager to learn the result
of the drawing. The police
are there, but they are of course too
far sighted to perceive what goes
on Immediately under their eyes,
and so, as usual, they see nothing.
This extraordinary blindness
may be accidental, or it may be
due to some visual weakness, or it
may be caused by some weakness
not visual. These are matters on
which we cannot pretend to speak
with knowledge, but the fact that
everybody can see the gambling
except the police, is sufficiently
evident and suggests a variety of
hypothesis not fattering to the
officers nor to their head.
Whatever the cause, the fact that
law breaking is open, continuous
and notorious is a public scandal
and disgrace. There is not the
least sign of improvement, but on
the contrary, things seem to be 60
ing from bad to worse, and they
will doubtless continue to do so.
The apathy of the public is the
real root of the evil. 1t is useless
to shift the responsibility to the
police. If the people choose to
tolerate bribery, corruption and in
efficiency in the police force, they
have only themselves to blame. In
these days of improved machinery
and popular government, it does
not require Hercules to clean the
Augean stables. A popular up
rising and a fire engine will do it
effectually.

oomeume, perhaps, you
have had occasion to make a
few remarks over a dull
knife-if you indulge in the
conventional spring chicken
you have certainly noticed that
unless the knife is particularly
sharp the spring in the chick
en- is more perceptible. If you
send your cutlery to the shop
to be ground the result is not
always satisfactory, neither is
the cost. To obviate such
annoyances, and expense, a
bright young man in California
invented a machine which must
be of great convenience to
every house-keeper. Its a
neutrality-suspicious. made of
composition and adapted for
use in kitchens. Besides being
used for grinding knives, scis-
sors may be sharpened on it
SO that they will be quite as
good as new. Every lady uses
scissors and they all know what
it is to pick up a dull pair.
These grinders are new here
and it is possible that ours is
the only place in town where
you can get them.
Have you provided yourself
with small safe yet or do you
prefer waiting until some one
relieves you of your coin or
your plate? Wise people pre-
fer having a safe SO they can
put their valuables where burg
lars cannot burgle or the
cottony cushion scale corrupt.
Honolulu is particularly free
from bold bad men but, re-
member that times are hard
and poverty begets crime. A
big appetite and no means of
satisfying it ignores the little
matter of conscience You'd
better get a safe. We have
the only ones in town suitable
for a dwelling and it's better
to be sure than sorry.
With March comes visions
of a long and warm period,
tall grass and insufficient
water. If you have a lawn and
care anything about having ii
look well you'll want a good
hose. Its a question whether
there's as much hose used in
any city of the same size as
in Honolulu. There have
been more or less complaints
too, about the quality of hose
sold here. Whether it is be-
cause the climate has a bad
effect or the hose was orr
ginally bad is hard to say but
the defect was there just the
same. This cannot be said,
however, of the "Gold Seal
Brand" recently imported by
us. 1t is of pure rubber, made
very strong and it is said will
stand trife more rough
usage than the average hose
gets. The price is not much
more than the ordinary hose
and the life a good deaI
longer.
You've not forgotten what
we said last year about lawn
mowers If. you have beer

SPENDING THE GOVERNMENT MONEYS.

The Treasury balance for De-
cember, 1891, was $467,512.45. For
January it was $487, O67.S3, and on
March 1st it amounted to s415,-
417.51.
These heavy balances have been
characteristic of the present admin
istration, and they are unneces-
sary. In the meantime, while the
Government chest is full and
locked. the work of public improve
ment lags. Why? Because the
money cannot be got out of the
chest. The Volcano road in the
meanwhile is crawling towards
completion at something the rate
of speed at which Tristram Shandy
wrote his autobiography. This
dawdling with the public works
might be excusable if it served any
good end. AS it is, every hour of
it means financial loss, as the
money neither draws interest nor
benefits the country by the crea-
ton of public works. If the Vol
cano road is to be built at all, ii
ought to be pushed forward as rap
idly as possible. The same is true
of every other public improvement
for which there remains an unex-
pended balance available. AS it
stands, an unnecessarily large num-
Der of the appropriations will ex-
pire by Limitation, purely as con-
sequence of ministerial inactivity.
It may perhaps be imagined that
the Ministers neglect the public
works because they think the coun-
try needs to economic. Such a
course on their part would be an
abuse of responsibility as it would
involve the exercise Of a discretion
with which the law does not vest
them. Their duty is simply to
carry out the will of the Legisla-
ture as far as the state of the
Treasury will allow. When the
Legislature is guilty of the folly of
appropriating a million more than
the revenue, the Ministers then
have the power to favor one inn
provement and neglect another,
since a choice has to be made. But
they are still bound as much as
before to expend the public money
on the objects or some of the OBJ
jects, designated by the Legisla-
ture. They have no right to sit
down on the money bags and say,
it is time to economic.
Doubtless there never has been a
time when a wise economy was
more needed in Hawaiian affairs
than now, and one of the first
duties of the Legislature assem-
bling in May will be to study the
whole scheme of our administra-
ton with view to checking waste.
These considerations, however, are
not pertinent to the present ques-
ton. There are public improve
ments now in progress, works of
the greatest Importance to the COM
mercial welfare of the nation, which
are far on the road to completion,
and which ought to be completed
with as little delay as possible.
Only two valid reasons can be al
legged as ground for letting them
stand still, either the exhaustion of
the appropriation or the exhaus-
ton of the Treasury. When neither
of these causes are in play, the
public interest demands that
every unfinished work should be
pushed with energy to completion,
and the country will assuredly call
to account the Minister or the Cab
