Mr.. Blount's Mission.

About the first thing Commissioner
Blount did after be established himself in
comfortable quarters at Honolulu vas to
order down the American flag which f1Oated
over the government building, and abolish
the protectorate, which Minister Stevens
| had established. The act Of Minister Ste
veus had been approved by the Harrison
administration, and was in harmony with
the programme that had been mapped out
! by the provisional government, Of which
Mr.. Dole is president
In abolishing the protectorate Commits
stoBer BIount doubtless followed the instruc-
tions he had received before leaving WASH
ingtou. A protectorate is not regarded by
the Cleveland administration as being
necessary. 1t looks, in fact, as If every
thing that had been done by the Harrison
administration In the Hawaiian matter
would be set aside, and that our future re-
lations with Hawaii would be established
without regard to what has been done here
tofore.
There is no doubt that the Harrison ad-
ministration acted hastily, and without full
knowledge OF the actual condition of affairs
In Hawaii. Its purpose apparently was TO
get the credit for annexing Hawaii, and It
would have succeeded, in all probability,
had the revolution in Hawaii occurred a
month or two sooner, or had the Senate
acted promptly on the annexation treaty.
Nothing is yet known as to the details Of
Commissioner Blount's mission. The dis
patch published in the MORNING NEWS
yesterday gives no indication as to what he
will do now that the proteotorate has been
abolished. The inference, however, is that
he will at once begin the work of finding
out what the sentiment in Hawaii is rela-
tive to annexation, and whether it would
be better TO restore the deposed queen to
her throne, establish a protectorate, or au-
mex the islands to this country.
That Commissioner Blount has delicate
duty to perform is apparent, but being a
man Of excellent judgment 1t is safe TO pre-
dict that he will discharge it to the sstisfac-
tion Of both this country and Hawaii.
1t has been intimated quite frequently re-
Gently that England is only waiting for a
chance to get her grasp upon Hawaii She
will have 10 wait a good while, be-
cause there are excellent reasons
for saying that this government does not in
tend that any European country shall have
control Of the Sandwich Islands.
1t may be a month or more before Com
missioner Blount is ready to make his re-
port. In the meantime the provisional gov
eminent will remain in power. 1t has the
means of preventing disturbances of a
serious character, and ii it should need as,
sistance to maintain the situation as it is an
American warship will be close at hand to
render il.

An odd controversy Is agitatiug the COL
ored portion Of Brooklyn's population. The
preachers are on one side and the secret
societies on the other, and the fight is about
funerals. The secret societies wish to hold
as many funerals as possible on Sundays, 80
that large crowds of society men, who
could not spare the time on week days, may
attend in uniform. The preachers say that
the effect OF Sunday funerals is to keep the
members away from church, with the result
that after the offertory the plates are empty.
The upshot Of the matter is that the preach
ers have refused to preach any more funeral
sermons on Sunday, and the lodge members
have declared that they will go on with
their Sunday funerals whether they have a
preacher or not

A migratory piece OF real estate is caus-
ing some warm contention among jewellers
on the shores of the classic lake Chautau-
qua, New York state. Several months ago
a storm broke Off corner of a lake shore
farm. at least an acre in area, with trees and
cattle on it. This island lodged against
farm some distance away, the owner of
which sold whatever claim he might have
in the fiotsam to man for s.. Three other
men coveted the island and secured a quit
claim from the owner of the land of which
it originally formed a part. Meanwhile
still other parties applied to the state for a
title, claiming that as soon as the land was
detached from the mainland it became an
island and q part OF the public domain. But
before these conflicting claims could be set
tied another storm swept across the lake
and bore the island away and lodged it
against the land of still another man, who
anchored it fast and proposes to hold it.
The matter will be taken into the courts
for settlement. A judgmenr of Solomon
will be necessary TO decide whose island it is

Should Presbyterian churches every
where follow the example of the Second
church at Columbia. S. c., and expel all
members whose business necessitated "a few
hours work on Sundays there would be
Thousands Of good and religious persons de-
MED tie right Of utilization with the demon
ination of their choice. In these modern and
advanced times the needs Of humanity de-
msnd more or less Sunday work. In the
Columbia case 1t appears that the church
put the telephone company, and not the
young lady who worked in the central Of
flee, on trial. The church virtually held
that the telephone exchange was not a ne
cessity on Sundays; therefore the young
lady did wrong to work in the exchange on
that day. But that was not tho question
The necessity for the exchange should not
have been considered. Wasi it necessary for
the lady to work on Sundays in order to re-
tain her position, which gave her a means
of livelihood 1t appears that it was That
being true, it would seem that the spirit of
Christianity, il not the letter of church law,
would permit her to retain her church mem
bership.

A queer idea obtains with certain menu
bers of the Florida legislature, that the
Judiciary committee should not be made up
largely of lawyers. From the very nature
of the committee it is almost essential that
In its personnel legal talent should predom-
mate. A judiciary committee composed of
farmers, mechanics and shopkeepers, none
of whom was versed in law, would soon
make itself ridiculous, if indeed, it would
not be ridiculous from the first. II is the
function of the Judiciary committee to in
vestigate and report on matters affecting
law and practice, and if a majority Of such
committee should be lacking in knowledge
of these things, the committees majority
reports would be practically vAlueleJs.

Half dozen or more of the members OF
the Boring sea court Of arbitration have
made more or less lengthy speeches. aud
people, on this side of the water at least,
were beginning to think that it was about
time for the court to adjourn. But it seems
that the arguments have been barely be-
gun. We are now informed that the speech

United States the speech that put one of
the judges to sleep-was merely preliminary
to his argument, and that when be begins

Prosecuting White oape.

The superior courts OF Houston and Car
roll counties are dealing vigorously with
the white caps Of those counties who were re-
Gently engaged in committing outrages upon
peaceable citizens The respectable citizens
are justly indignant that the good names of
their respective counties should be brought
into disrepute by acts that would be dis
grace to a community in which there was
very little pretense Of law and order They
will not be satisfied unless the guilty parties
are punished so severely that others will
have no inclination to commit similar
crimes
As far as can be judged from the reports
in the public prints there was no excuse for
the lawless acts committed in the foregoing
counties. Those who were maltreated we're
inoffensive and law abiding citizens. They
molested no one, and only asked to be let
alone that they might be free to discharge
their daily duties. They we're attacked in
the night time and outrageously abused. If
their assailants slip through the meshes Of
the law good citizens will not be slow to
condemn courts and juries. They will feel
they have no protection against the law
less element.
Loss OF confidence in courts and juries
invites lynch law. The very best citizens
will not continue to uphold and respect the
courts if criminals are permitted to escape
punishment AS much as they dislike lynch
law they will resort to it If they think it is
needed to insure safety to their lives and
property. 1t is to be hoped that every one
OF the white caps will get the Oreatest NM
ishment the law will permit, If the courts
act vigorously they will put stop to the
white cap evil In the state before it gets a
firm foothold anywhere within the states

AN incident occurred almost week
ago which has not been bruited about
much, but which Ia certainly worthy of
notice. The county treasurer, by his

all county moneys were to be held as
special deposits-thus imposing upon
the banks the necessity of being respon-
sible for the safe custody OF the county
funds without the right to use them 80
as to make pro6t-the University bank
and Citizens bank notified the treasurer
to take his funds away, and they were
distributed amongst the other banks.
