THE NEW BILL.
A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT
IS TO BE ESTABLISHED.
1t Is to be Conducted with Less
Cost than the Present
Volunteer System.

The Advisory Council of the
Government has been considering
for some time the advisability
Of recognizing the fire depart
ment. The matter was finally
placed in the hands of commit
tee who have drafted bill for the
lawmakers to consider. 1t pro-
vides for the appointment of a
commission of three members,
who shall be appointed by the
Minister Of the Interior. The COM
missioners are to appoint the Chief
Engineer, and otherwise have con-
troll of the department. They will
serve without pay. The Chief
Engineer will receive a salary, and
he will take up the duties of the
present fire marshal, thereby doing
away with that Office. The bill
provides for three regular COM
panies, the members of which are
to receive a monthly salary. AL
though the bill does not state the
maximum of membership, it is I'M
derstood that eight members will
be regularly employed for each
company, with additional volunteer
members if the commission deems
it necessary to appoint them.
The bill embraces all of the
present fire laws, and, in addition,
it contains clause which will
compel all owners or occupants of
buildings and private houses to
have two fire-buckets placed in
conspicuous places for use in case
of a fire. All fines collected for
violation of the fire laws will be
placed in the sick fund of the de-
partment.
The Chief Engineer will have
the appointment of all men under
him; but members charged with
neglect of duty must be tried be-
fore they can be dismissed.
The salaries of the regular men
have not been decided on as yet
but it is understood that the en-
gineers will receive about 800 a
month. They will have to be prac.
tical mechanics, and must be able
to make the necessary minor re-
pairs, and in other matters be cap
able of assuming the duties of the
survey engineer.
The drivers will receive about
$75 a month, while the extra mer
will be paid about $40 each.
The insurance men and a grea
many others are in favor of The
proposed change in the department
and several members of the Council
are of the opinion that paid or
ganization can be conducted with
less cost than the present voluntee1
system.

Great Brifain's Exhibit.

With regard to the Chicago Ex-
hibition, we learn from speech of
Sir Richard Webster, @. c., M. P,
the chairman of the Royal Commits
sion, that the space occupied by
Great Britain and the Colonies will
amount to upwards of 100000
square feet, of which upwards of
100000 square feet will be occupied
by Great Britain. This is the
largest space ever filled at any in
ternational exhibition by any for
eign country; and it is interesting
to compare it with the space occu-
pied by Great Britain and the Colo
MES in previous exhibitions
Vienna, 10000 square feet; Phila-
delphia, $4,000 square feet ; Paris,
1878, $4,000 square feet; and
Paris in 1889, $4,000 square feet.
Allotments have been made to US
in the following buildings: Agri-
culture, Foresty, Live Stock, Fish
cries, Mines and Mining Machinery,
Transportation, Manufactures and
Liberal Arts, Electricity, Fine Arts,
and the Women's Building. The
original grant of 925,000 made by
the Treasury was increased tc
100000, so that no charge should
be made to British exhibitors, and
it is hoped this will be sufficient tc
enable the Royal Commission tc
make proper arrangements for the
interests of the latter.-[ Manches

HABEAS CORPUS.

Elsewhere in our columns will be
found the hearing before Judge
Frear on the petition to release J.
G. M. Sheldon, editor of the Holo-
mua, from custody.
Being possessed of no means of
prejudging the case, we neverthe-
less are confident that any hope of
a result detracting from the legal
as well as actual authority of the
existing Government, is built upon
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-02-18

the sand-quicksand at that. If
the Legislature of the Provisional
Government is powerless for self
protection against the vile assaults
of polyglot editors, as well as
against the towards who use poor
Sheldon for their scapegoat, it had
better disband and go home, or
relegate their work to a kanaka
Legislature, who have been able
upon occasion to so defend them
selves.

To ask the Court to say that the
Government under which it exer-
cises its functions has no legisla-
tive authority, is an instance of
colossal-what shall we term it?
We will say, for sake of euphony,
of colossal imagination.
We cite the remarks quoted with
approval from an eminent jurist,
Chief Justice Shipper, in Story in
his commentaries on the Constitu-
ton. They are good enough for US !:
"The' members of the legislature
are legally and inherently possessed
of all such privileges as are neces-
sary to enable them to execute the
great trust reposed in them by the
people. Assaults on members, at
tempts to corrupt them, sending
challenges to members, and libel
lous publications rejecting on the
Senate have been treated as con-
tempt, and visited in some instances
with Imprisonment, in others with a
reprimand on submission made"

That a legislative body cannot
imprison for contempt is not de-
MED, for such power is always
inherent. The only real ques-
ton is whether the cause
of alleged contempt should be
assigned in the order of arrest.
But as the order merely required
the arrested person to show cause
why he should not be punished for
contempt, he was no worse off than
any other offender who is brought
before the Police Courts on general
charges which are fully defined at
the trial.

THE CONTEMPT CASE.

The argument of counsel for
John Sheldon, made yesterday be-
fore Judge Freer, cannot be regard
ed as illustrating any undue re-
straint upon liberty of speech, as
far as that distinguished counsel is
concerned. In fact, he appears to
have left nothing unsaid which
could conveniently be expressed
within the limits of time which he
gave himself to show his own sense
of the existence of no government
at all at the present time, and his
personal belief that the present
Government is a combination Of
anarchy and despotism.
Now all this, in substance, has
emanated from the same honorable
gentleman before, in articles which
he contributed to the Liberal. The
public knows we'll that he thinks
that the present Government is not
suited to his notion. But the pub
lie also knows that the present Gov
eminent, Notwithstanding the slurs
and sneers of just such men
as this well known gentleman,
are upholding, at no little personal
inconvenience, the cause of law and
order, and are honestly and impair
TALLY carrying on their solemn
trust. That the members of our
present Government are gentlemen
of probity and high character is a
fact which requires no proof, and
which is not to be met by silly and
puerile invective.
The wonder really is that the
Provisional Government has silent
ly stood the newspaper venom and
libellous and false expressions OF
contempt which the newspaper
whose editor is now hauled up has
showered upon it.

Special Correspondence of the Sentinel
RALEIGH, Jan. 26.-The most excl
ting question now engaging the at
tention of the State law-ma
kers is that of the cases of
Leach and Henderson in the Senate,
and Long and Wright in the House.
Leach and Long are both in their re-
spective seats. Leach swon by a vote
of u to % and Long by vote of 73 to
43. In the latter case strong argu-
ments were made for Long by Messrs.
Watson, Gilmer, of Haywood, Ray,
Kitchen and Others, aud for Wright
by MesserS. Fuller, of Durham, Low
ell and Long of ,Alamance. The case
OF Stack and Newsome, of Stokes and
Surry Senatorial district is still before
thecommittee. The general impression
Is that Stack will without a doubt re-
tain his seat. The bill in the Senate
on the 18th to reduce the legal rate of
interest per cent. was brought up on
its second reading and passed with the
following amendment that this law
shall not go into effect until after the
National Congress has repealed the
ten per cent. tax on State banks of is
sue. 1t is thought the entire bill will
be killed on its final reading as it is
believed by many of the leading Sena-
tors to be detrimental to the interests
of all business to meddle with the in
terest question. Many stated that
the reduction was calculated to drive
money from such progressive towns as
Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Ashe-
vile and will place all busineS in an
unsettled condition. Senators Jones,
Day, Campbell and others were against
the bill and Senator AycOck and 9th
erS favored the reduction. The speech
es Of Senators Jones and Campbell
were highly creditable and have re-
ce:ved many compliments from the
more progressive citizens. In
on its second reading by vote of p
to 20 making female dogs taxable prop
erty. 1t elected considerable discussion
A bill is pending in the House allow
ing tax of 81, on each male and s.
on each female dog. 1t is thought it
will meet with greater approval and
will likely pass. In the heated dis
cusSion of this question Senators Nc
Dowell, Day, Patton, Sheriff. and
Cranor favored the tax, the former
growing eloquent and poetical. Sen
atOrs Little, Owen, AycOck and 9th
erS opposed it.
Senator Jones from your city has
made two speeches this week that
have certainly shown him to be gen.
tleman of great ability, and of sound
and logical reason and oratory. lie
stands among the best on the floor in
every capacity. w. j. Wharton, of

At twentyf0ur he became editor of
the Kennebcu Journal; soon after as
sociate editor of the Portland Adver-
tiser. In journalism mnnt into poll
tics, and there he found congenial
work and congenial friends.
He found the path to the House of
Representative through the Maine
legislature. He served seven terms
there and was six years Speaker.
He rose another step and entered
that proSaic body too dull for his in
tensely active disposition.
The great dream of his life was the
Presidency of the United States and
he was four times candidate for
that great honor in the National Re-
publican conventions. Failing almost
every time, however, had to accept in
ferior honors in the highest places in
the cabinets of the successful cdndl-
d tes.
Perhaps no man ever deserved the
Presidency from his party more than
Blaine. At Cincinnati in 1876 he
lacked only twenty eight votes of a
nomination.
In 1880 he again reached for the
| plum. but James A Garfield Snatched
it from his grasp.
In his dauntleSs courage and energy,
he again tries for the honor in 1884
receiving the nomination. The
great statesman led the fight in per-
son. He was the Plumed Knight, and
| was ever in the thickest of the fray
| but the

was intended by Providence to give
new life to the party of the people
and Grover Cleveland defeated the
gallant PlEmed Knight. He made a
grand fight, but he could not over
come the EateS.

had raised to po~er, gave their chief
the nomination.
