THE SHELDON CASE.

Tn another column will be found
the full text of Judge Frear's first
written decision. 1t is in the Shell
don case, and its very marked abil-
ity will more than justify the high
expectations formed of Judge Frear
by those who have had the oppor-
tunity of observing his career.
1t is not our intention to COM
ment upon the decision, as it will
be passed upon by the Supreme
Court. Some viii accept its reason
ing Us sound, while others will of
course reject it. That the decision
is in any case strong one will be
denied by very few.
The general public needs perhaps
some information as to the nature
of the writ of habeas corpus. The
purpose of this process is simply to
inquire into the legality of an arrest,
bat not to enter into the question
of the guilt or innocence of the per-
son arrested. If that were possible,
every crime could be tried under a
writ of habeas corpus, and police
justices and juries would have moth
ing to do. An application for this
writ having been granted, upon a
hearing the Court will simply in
quire whether the warrant is suffi-
cient in form, whether it was issued
by person or persons duly author
lied, and, finally, whether the law
under which it purports to be issued
is valid or not.
In this instance it was argued on
behalf of the petitioner that she
warrant under which Mr.. Sheldon
was arrested was invalid ~ be-
cause the Councils had no power to
authorize such an arrest, (2) be-
cause they did not in point of fact
authorize their chairman to issue
it, and 81 because the warrant
does not specify the ground of ar
rest. All these contentious were
overruled by the Court, on
grounds which need not be recapi-
tulated here, as they are very fully
and clearly set forth in the deci-
sion itself, to which our readers are
referred.
The effect of this decision. ii
upheld by the Supreme Court, will
not of course be to conclude anv.
thing against Mr.. Sheldon. but
simply to remand him for trial
before the Executive and Advisory
Councils. An appeal having been

THOSE OPIUM CASES.
OUGHT THE MEN TO HAVE BEEN
DISCHARGED
A Forgotten Section of the Compiled
Laws Observation-Disclosures Hart
wells Opinion

A number Of opium cases were
dismissed lately, as reported in the
ADVERTISER, on the ground that
the law under which they were
held had been repealed. Atten-
ton has now been drawn to the
fact that Section % of the Civil
Code provides that such repeats
should not affect pending prosecu-
tons.
As this section was not referred
to in Court, the whole matter wears
the air of a good joke on the legal
lights concerned, and the joke is
not lessened by the fact that Gen
eral Hartwell, who was counsel for
the men discharged, when a JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. had occa-
sion, it is said, to make a decision
in this very section of the Code.
An ADVERTISER reporter yesterday
tackled the Judge on this matter,
but he would not admit that the
Court was not all right.
The Judge said: II think that
no mistake has been made by dis
missing the opium cases. The 23d
section of the Compiled Laws
which provides that no prosecu-
tions pending at the time of the
repeal of any law for any offense
committed under the law so re-
pealed, shall in any case be affect
ed by such repeal does not go far
enough to allow such prosecutions
to proceed either under the repeal
ed law or under the repeating law.
II have made a similar point
under the Lottery Act, approved
on the 14th day of January, viz,
that it does away with all convic-
tions for dealing in lotteries under
the former act.
This question will shortly be
argued before Judge Whiting by
myself together with other counsel
for defendants on similar changes.
eve claim this a matter Of pro-
cedure which cannot continue un-
der a repealed act unless the re-
pealing act itself expressly pro-
vides for the continuance for the
prosecutions. And we will show
that this is the view of courts in
other portions of the United
States"

The "Nation" as a Croaker.

The "NatiOn as a CrOaker.
Nh. EDITOR While admitting the
justice of your criticism this morn
ing on an obnoxious article in the
New York Nation of the 9th instant,
I think that there is something to be
said in explanation OF it's attitude.
Everything depends on the point of
view, and the Nation looks at the
Hawaiian question through pair of
Mugwump glasses.
The writer of that article had been
Justly scandalized at the way in
which territories like Nevada, Idaho,
Montana, Arizona, etc, VIGOROUSLY
unfit to become sovereign States,
have been and are forced into state
hood with indecent haste, for purely
partisan ends, such as to carry a
presidential election or free silver
bill.
In other words, he uses us as a
whipping post. in order to get in
few cuts at American politicians.
Hence he predicts that if the Hawai-
ian Islands become territory, the
agitation for its admission as State
will begin at once; and in view of
the utter disregard of higher con
siderations shown by the admission
of the last batch of territories, he
thinks it will probably succeed very
soon.
He then proceeds to draw a pic
ture, none too dark, of the probable
character Of the future State govern
ment, based upon such population
as now exists here, and run by
"bosses" as a rotten borough. Ac-
cordingly, he advocates a protector
ate, but neglects to define what he
means by that term. Certainly the
experience of the United States in
Samoa is not very favorable to that
solution of the problem.
Besides, his argument proves too
much. If it is impossible to retard
the evolution of a territory into a
state, it will be no less difficult to
prevent the change of protectorate
into territory.
Anyone who reflects on the situa-
ton must see that a protectorate is
necessarily a temporary make shift.
The power that supports must also
control, and take the responsibility
of governing. Ii Uncle Sam were un-
willing to shoulder it, he should turn
over the job to Japan CT some other
power.
At the same time, the dangers
pointed out by the Nation are real.
The carpet bagger is already in the
land. The air is full of political
microbes, and our soil is highly
adapted to their cultivation. The
fupgous growths of the spoils system
will flourish here in spite of all that
honest men can do.
Congress will be besieged year
after year with netitions from office
seekers at both ends of the line, al
in the sacred but much abused name
of the people. Eternal vigilance j.
the price of liberty"

THE Executive and Advisory
Councils have deferred considera-
ton of the Registration Act until
after the arrival of the Monowai.
The Act is SO closely dependent in
its provisions upon the immigration
policy of the Government that it is
wiser to defer action upon it until
the nature of our future status is
definitely known.

Various reasons are given, but proba-
bly, the most likely is that Of the few
women living who were eligible the
Princess Nay, whom he has known all
his life, suited him best. There are not
more than half a dozen women in the
world from among whom he could Sc
lect q wife, and if he broke over the
traces and made an undesirable alliance
the marriage would be void without the
consent Of his grandmother, the queen.
The prince is in his twenty-eighth year
AMI Is a favori.e with the British people,
vko have nicknamed him Jolly Prince
George" lie has always been model
you man, SO far as appearances go at
lea and has been careful to make no
Friendships that might embarrass him in
the future.
His childhood was spent at Sandring-
ham, and 1t 10 he and his brother en-
tered the navy as cadets. Two years
later 10 began Il three years cruise
around tie world on the Bacchante. He
is still connected with the navy and de-
votes considerable time to his duties in
connection herewith.
In appearance the prince resembles his
father, and there is also strong resem-
blance between him and his future wife.
They are second cousins, once removed"
as the English put it, so the likeness Is
not strange. The princess is the daugh-
ter of the Duchess of Teck, who was
Princess Mary of Cambridge, a favorite
cousin Of the queen.
Her majesty was present when the
duchess was married in 1866 and threw
u satin slipper after the bride. Apart
mcnt5 in Kensington palace were as
signed the ducaI couple, and their four
children, Of whom Princess May is the
eldest and the only daughter, were all
born there.
With intervals devoted to travel
abroad, the Princess May spent the first
IS years of her life at Kensington,
gloomy old pile resembling a hospital.
Then the family removed to the historic
White Lodge at Richmond, where they
still reside Here the princess was the
constant companion of her brothers Ill
their studies and sports, and it is no
doubt largely due TO this fact that she IS
such q clever horsewoman and knows
how to handle an car. She is clever in
other respects also, speaking three Ian
guages huently and playing well on the
piano.
She dresses handsomely, her toilets at
the queens drawing rooms being always
q subject of favorable comment in the
press. The Princess of Wales is credit
ed with having designed the bridal dress
for her future daughter-in-law, and Eng
