A Display of Wealth Not Necessary
for an American Minister.

Philadelphia Record.
The solitary apology fo- this extraordi-
nary appointment is sent ont from WASH
ington in the semi-official ana inspired
declaration that Mr.. w. w. Astors law
ish expenditure at Rome as American min
lister set a standard for our representative
at the Italian court which has embarrassed
alike his successors and those charged with
naming them.
This is nonsense. 1t is as unjust to Mr.
Aston as it is untrue. The standar for the
American minister at Rome was set, not by
Mr.. Aston, but by Mr.. George Z. Marsh,
who held the place for twenty years and
showed how little disbursement and display
are needed to command respect for the rep
resentative of a great nation when the rep
resentative himself is equal to his duties
and has something more than money
10 recommend him. AS a matter or
fact, Mr.. Aston himself on going TO Rome
modestly expressed his own consciousness
of the disadvantage in which a man of
mere money stood in succeeding Mr.. Marsh
and the position and reputation he had won.
Mr.. Aston, whose expenditure was far
from being ~extravagant, was succeeded by
Mr.. J. u. Stallo. a Cincinnati lawyer, with
out money, manners or address, expert
ence or ability. His plumbers in behavior
were laughable. His failures in diplomacy
lamentabie. He succeeded in a brief term
in destroying what he could never have ere
ated-the respect for American diplomacy
Dequedtleu Dy MT. MdrSI 10 Ills SuCCcSSOI
and which Mr.. Astor, if he had done moth
ing to increase, had also done nothing to
impair.
Governor Porter, of Indiana, and Mr.. Pot
ter of this city, have both filed the post
with credit and success. 1t is ridiculous to
say of either that they were embarrassed
by Mr.. Astor's expenditure. The remark
betrays a radical misapprehens!on Of the
conditions under which an American repre-
sentative assumes his duties and which
makes it far easier to follow a man of fab
ulous wealth whom he cannot be expected
to emulate than to succeed a man of less
conspicuous wealth.
The official apology would not justify Mr..
Van Aliens appointment, if it were true;
and ii is not true. The selection is dis
graceful. 1t is purchased, unfit and unpa-
triotic. Democratic as the Senat is,
enough has been laid bare to justify it's
m rejection.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDD, C. J.
The defendant was charged on the
9Th of last June In the District Court
of Honolulu with the offense of
keeping disorderly house In Homo
lulu within three months last past, TO
wit, house kept for the sale of in
toxicating drink without license" 1t
was agreed between the prosecution
and defense that the case should be
the case of the Provisional Govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands vs..
John Richards, heard by the District
Court two days previous.
The evidence Is substantially this ::
On the 31st Of May last three per
sons, two of them detective officers,
went into defendants house in Nuu-
Gnu Valley called the "Half Way
House." and each obtained a drink
Of whisky from demijohn contain
ing this liquor, delivered to them by
the hands of one John Richards (whO
was u boarder at the house, and
these persons paid for the same.
The defendant Very was at the
time asleep In another room of the
house. Richards was convicted in
the District Court of the Ofense of
selling spirituous liquor without a
license, but was acquitted by the
Hawaiian Jury at the last August
Term of the Circuit Court, First Cir
cult The District Magistrate found
the defendant Very guilty and SEN
fenced him to pay fine of so and
costs, whereupon he appealed to the
Supreme Court on the point of law
that the evidence was not sufficient
10 convict him of keeping house
for the sale OF intoxicating drink
without license.
The statute is Chap. XIII of the
Penal Code. 1t reads, Sec. 1. who
ever shall keep a disorderly house
shall be punished where no other
punishment is expressly provided by
statute, by fine" etc.
Sec. q The following houses are
disorderly within the meaning of the
provisions of this chapter, viz:
1. Houses kept for the purpose of
public prostitution;
2. Houses in which any indecent
pastures, or indecent, immoral

tied;
3. Houses kept f5 sale of any
~ ptQ3icating dr:1Ihout license;
4. Houses III which gambling is
permitted.
The charge specified the class of
the disorderly house in question as
being one kept for the sale of intoxi-
eating drink without license.
Upon the evidence sent up we are
of opinion that the conviction cannot
be sustained.
The only evidence is that of the
sale of Intoxicating drink on one &C.
casion. A single sale is not sufficient
to prove that the house was kept for
that purpose.
In People VS.. Castro, rs Mich, 12S,
the defendant was charged with ''un-
lawfully keeping and maintaining a
house of i'll fame, resorted to for the
purpose of prostitution and lewd-
ness" 4 single act of prostitution
was proven. The court said: "The
keeping and maintaining of house
which persons are permitted to fire.
quent for the purpose of unlawful
sexual intercourse and to prevent the
existence of such places of resort. A
single act of lewdness would not con-
stitute the offense which the statute
prohibited and Furnishes; but, if the
house is shown to be q house of i'll
fame, and it is shown that persons
resort there for the purpose of prosti-
tuition or lewdness, proof of a single
act of prostitution would be sufficient
upon this branch of the case"
In State VS.. Lees (Iowa), As n. w.
Rep, 545, it was held that a single
act of Illicit intercourse In the house
would be insufficient without other
evidence to make the place house
OF Ill fame.
See Commonwealth VS.. Stahl,
Allen, 304, and Commonwealth VS..
Lambert, u Allen, 1T.
In this last case the defendant was
indicted for keeping a common nui-
sance, to wit, tenement used by her
rs q house of i'll fame, resorted to for
prostitution and lewdness. The in
structions to the jury that n single
act of illicit intercourse within the
house by permission of its keeper
was sufficient to convict, was held
erroneous by the Supreme Court,
and the Court say I'VE do not
mean to be understood as holding
that, to prove the offense charged,
there must necessarily be direct evil
dence OF numerous acts of prostitu- |
ton or lewdness permitted by the |
keeper of the house. But the evil |
dence whether direct or circumstan- |
tial, must be sufficient to satisfy the |
jury that it was kept as place of !
resort for such purpose"
In the case before us there was no
evidence either of the reputation of
defendants house as one kept for the
sale of intoxicating liquor without
license, or of any facts or circum-
stances tending to show that it was
n house of that character, except
the single instance of sale referred
TO. This might be an exceptional,
instance, and would not show
that the house was kept" for that
purpose. 1t would require more than
one act of sale or other facts or cir
to prove that it was
house of that character.
We therefore sustain the appeal.
Defendant discharged.
