THE CIVIL RIGHTS LEAGUE.

We publish this morning an &C
count of a meeting of the so-called
Civil Rights League, of the forma'
ton of which an account was
lately given in this paper. 1t will
be found interesting reading. The
objects of the League are supposed
to be all known, its methods are
claimed to be those of ordinary
political party clubs, viz, discus
sion and agitation. Yet at the
meeting Saturday night, after
about fifteen minutes, there ap-
peared to be some mysterious rea-
son for going into executive ses-
sion," whatever that may mean,
and reporters = the ADVERTISER
was the only paper represented
had to retire. Another interesting
fact is the circumstance that when
Mr.. Ashford wished to read the
minutes of all previous meetings,
Mr.. Chas. Creighton and Mr.. An
tone Rosa strenuously objected
The result was that the only
minutes read were of the meeting
the occurrence of which had been
already reported in the ADVERTISER.
These circumstances are certainly
very singular, and the zeal of the
Hawaiian Civil Rights League in
covering up the tracks which it has
already made, as well as those
which it proposes to make in the
future, can hardly be accounted
for if it has no aims except those
to be described in its con-
ambiguous title.

1t is as plain as a pikestaf thai
this Civil Rights League is an anti
American organization, made up Of
rank royalists, contrived to delay
annexation and if possible tc
prevent it altogether. 1t is in.
tended to serve as the nucleus
for malcontents, and all who sym
pathize with the desire to replace
the present order by the former
anarchy. 1t is true that Mr.. Ash
ford declares the league to be in
favor of annexation. He says that
its object is merely to secure State
government. Since when, may we
ask, have Tesla, Creighton and the
rest of these gentlemen been such
good annexationists ? If Mr.. Ash
ford were himself the cordial an
nexationist he pretends to be he
would hardly head a political
movement with these persons. This
dilemma, indeed, will make no i'm
preston on Mr.. Ashford, who has
been on all sides in politics ever
since he landed in the country;
but it should serve as a warning to
those-if there be any such-who
are disposed to take this
movement in good faith. Ina
CINE any genuine American fol-
lowing the lead of Tesla, Rosa,
Creighton, the editors of the Holo-
mua, ETC., etc., in an annexation
movement, or indeed in any move
ment whatever. The idea is sim
ply absurd.
The game which these gentle
men propose to play relies on the
to furnish its pawns. 1t
appears, however, that the natives
are not greatly taken with the
charms of this league. They do
not like the ambiguity of its high |
sounding title, and it is said, pro-
pose to form a new league of their
own, under the leadership of Sam

STRAY soRIBBLINGs.

A very serious accident occurred at
Hamakuapoko recently. Near the
forks of the road in Hamakuapoko a
railroad track, over which cane cars
run to and fro from Paia, crosses the
thoroughfare. During Thursday AN,
the I'd inst, pair of horses drawing
a buggy containing Mrs. L. A. An
drews, her child and native driver.
became frightened at the rushing by
of some empty cars, and turned sud-
denly, bringing two wheels of the
carriage on to the high roadside
bank; the vehicle quickly overturned
throwing out the occupants. The
buggy Immediately rigbted, and the
horses ran as far as the plantation
store.

THE POPULAR NOVEL.

A firm of publishers, to decide con-
troversy, sent out requests for returns
from all the public libraries of America
and England, as to what is the most pop
ular fiction. Judging from the times books
are called for and taken out The returns
are now in, and list of one hundred and
fifty novels are given, and in the order Of
popularity on the basis Of percentage of
call for the works, "David Ccpperfeld"
heads the list, having ninety-six per cent.
to its credit, while "John Halifax. Gen.
tleman" is as far down in the list as about
sixty per cent. indicates its popularity.
''Les Miserables' has low figure, and
half dozen novels of which thousands
of literary students have never heard,
are ranked above, such as "Waverly,"
ssTen Thousand Year." and 1.-THE Com
ing Race"
While the returns do show that there
is a very gratifying manifestation of
good taste among library novel readers.
and prove that the public taste is not per-
yerted, yet we cannot think the test ap-
piled fair one. For such an estimate of
the popularity of works of fiction is far
from exact. For instance, such works as
GsUncle TOMS Cabin'' have popularity
not due to their literary character. "Lit-
tie Lord Fauntleroy," Robinson Cru
soe,, and 'sRoughing It." cannot be said
to be popular on purely literary grounds.
The taste that demands "Ivanhoe," ''The
Last Days of Pompeii," 'The Marble
Faunn and "Daniel Deronda" cannot be
classed level with that which gives to
"Uncle TOMS Cabin" David Copper
field, and Little Lord Fauntleroy" their
wide reading.

JURY CORRUPTION.
Says the Los Angeles Times:


The shameful manner in which the Cronin
jury has been tampered with in Chicago is
another example of the rotten condition to
which the jury system has come in this coun-
try. When the jury system was first devised
1t was regarded as an efficient means of secur-
ing justice to both the accuser and the ac-
cused. but 1t has now come to pass-at least in
this country-that the jury system is a ready
means OF defeating the ends OF justice.
Then follows further treatment and the
conclusion that some modification of the
jury system is needed.
Has it occurred to our contemporary
that it is not the system that is blame
worthy? 1t is what it was at the outset
The craft, greed and unscrupulousness of
men have augmented, but the jury sys-
tenn remains underlaid by precisely the
same principles of human right that
formed the substructure when the barons
wrung the concession from crafty John
at Runnymede that men should be ad-
judged by jury of their peers and be
confronted with their accusers in court
of justice.
No, the jury system is not chargeable
with the viciousness and greed of cor
rupt men. By what sort of modification
of the system would our contemporary
prevent rascal from swearing his way
into the jury-box while he clutched the
bribe in his pocket that bought his YER
dict in advance? 1t might as well be
said that there is necessity for modifca-
ton of the witness system and the law of
evidence, because men perjure them
selves in the witness-box.
The Times thinks that if two-thirds
vote could determine the verdict it would
go far towards correction. Possibly, but
if bribery and rascality are on foot in a
trial it will simply require the purchase
of larger number of men. Of course,
that would cripple scandalous effort, but
1t would scarcely put an end to jury
bribing.
The best way to end what the Times de-
plores in common with all others right
thinking, is to visit swift and severe pun
ishment upon bribed jurors and upon their
bribers. Certainly, so long as men are
corruptible and are rarely punished for
the crime, jury-fxing will go on. There
is no serious, or, indeed, much of any OBJ
lection to a two-thirds vote rule, to find a
verdict. But the jury system will be no
less blamable when that is established,
than it is now, for whatever relation cor
rupt men may hold towards it.

brary selection eliminates thewhole world
OF readers who have their own libraries
as we'll as the public ones to draw upon.
Nearly all such people have the standard
novels-Scott, Thackeray. Dickens,
Eliot, Wallace, Hugo, Reade, Hawth-
orne, Irving, and so on. Their voice
ought to be heard in declaring upon the
popularity of novels. If it had been, as
suredly David Copperfeld" never would
have been put first upon the list as the
most desired, if not the most desirable
work of fiction. Nor would 1.-THE Luck
OF Roaring Camp" small as we esteem
Its merits, have been at the foot of the
column. adam Bede'' would assuredly
have outranked anything from Dickens,
and Hugo would have stood above Wal
lace.
The printed list puts Dickens first,
Hawthorne second, Mrs. Stowe third,
Wallace fourth, Eliot sixth, Bulwer sew
enth, Hugo eighth. All of Eliot's nov
els but one fall inside the first fifty of the
library returns, and Dickens is more read
than any other author, while the inimita-
BILE Samuel Warren is read scarcely at all.
Howells comes in a little below the mid
die of the list, but why he should not
have been well down toward the foot we
are at loss to understand.
We repeat, while the library test proves
that the public library novel readers of
the land are reading the best works ex-
tant, and American works especially, and
that the best there is in fiction is sought
for, as against the low and the trivial and
weak, it does not prove the true taste of
the reading people. We suggest better
test, and that is to ascertain from the
bookselling fraternity what is the percent
age of the standard regular sales of the
works OF, say, one hundred authors, the
names to be selected and given to the
booksellers throughout the land for re-
port On the record of their sales for the
last few years, or tor a year to come, a
very accurate judgment can be formed.

An Australian Bridge.

A bridge just thrown over the Lachlan
at Cowra is composite one, of iron,
steel and timber. Its cost has been e26,-
58S. This peculiar type of bridge is the
outcome of consultations between the
engineer-in-ch for roads and bridges
and the engineer for bridges, with view
to economy in future bridge construction.
The principle followed is that where por-
tions of the bridge are in tension. steel is
used, but where in compression, iron
bark timber is utilized. 1t is considered
that the maximum of strength is OBJ
tanned by this means at the minimum of

ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM.

The people of San Bernardino have ex-
perienced the arrival of the good-road
agitation. A petition, largely signed, has
just been sent by them to the Super
visors, asking for submission of the ques-
ton of bond issue for S25O,OOO for perma-
nent road purposes. The dispatches say {:
They urge that very large number of peo-
pie in the county have expended all their
means in improving and planting orchards,
and 1--WE believe that if the proceeds of the
bonds were apportiOned to each Supervisoral
district on the basis OF the assessed valuation,
and the work OF construction given TO bona fide
residents at a moderate rate of compensation,
ii would accomplish the twotold result of re-
heving the present financial stringency and
providing this county with highways which
would prove an ultimate economy TO our
selves as well as attraction 10 wealthy
home-seekers." It is added: ave believe that
the actual saving good roads will effect IN
time, animals and vehicles alone will pay the
bonds"
This is the great orange-growing county
of the State. At the State Road Conven-
ton it was officially reported that San
Bernardino has but 1877 miles Of roads;
that 1S9 miles of them are dirt roads of the
lowest known order; that there has been
spent on these roads, including bridges,
in ten years, $669,575; that there is not
now a single mile of good road in the
county; that the value of the roads which
have cost so much is less than $4,000;
that road material of the best order is ac-
cessible all along the road routes. with
greatest ease of transport and at very low
cost.
Is it any wonder that county which
has no roads, but pays out annually over
$4,000 on pretended roads, should want
to have lump sum of $3.50, 900 in hand to
build good roads at once, and at a cost Of
but S25, 900 year for interest and sinking
fund and Sl2, 900 for maintenance

THE San Francisco Examiner attempts
to rap one of it's local contemporaries
over the knuckles which quotes APPROX
ingly from the REcoRD-UNIoN regarding
right methods for publication of the
press, and after pointing out that what is
approved in one column is negatived by
a local report in another, it adds:
There may be an honest difference OF opin-
ion about the extent to which it Is permissible
TO report immoral or improper events, but
there can be none with regard TO the spirit in
" hich such things should be described, when
they are described at all. When demoraliz-
ING thing occurs il may be necessary to tell
