A Friend Points Ont Facts Re-
Iatine TO the Case.
Mr.. EDITOR: Observer" in the
Bulletin, quotes some language of
Rev. Mr.. Blossoms written before the
queens coup d. etat, opposing annex
alton. He then denounces him as
liar because, after that event, he
changed his views and supported an
nexation.
Every one acquainted with friend
Oleson knows him for a sincere and
outspoken man. Before the revolu-
ton which the queen inaugurated,
he chung to the fashioned and
settled missionary view that the mon
archy must be supported and Hawai-
ian independence maintained. Some
of the missionary connection had al
ready come to see clearly that the
native monarchy was rotten with
corruption and hopelessly crazed
with false ideals. They had already
perceived that in the failure of the
monarchy as a rallying point, the in
harmonious elements here made an
independent republic doubtful If
not impossible expedient for securing
good and stable government. Union
with America afforded the only hope
full solution for getting such govern
ment. They believed that Hawaii
was so necessary strategically and
commercially to the United States,
that it was our ultimate destiny to
become annexed to that republic.
Perhaps Mr.. Oleson was somewhat
lacking in appreciation of the exist
ing conditions. He was certainly
honest when he said that annexation
was mot a question Of practical
politics" Like a good many other
persons, the wicked and determined
proceedings of the queen on the 14th
of January last opened friend Ole
sons eyes very wide indeed. He took
the situation right in, and from that
day went in with all his might for
annexation as the one great hope and
safety for honest and stable govern
ment III Hawaii.
All this observer" knows very
we'll His letter is written solely as
a malicious attempt to discredit Mr..
Blossoms powerful testimony abroad,
by sending in evidence that he was
against annexation a few months
ago. The foolish royalists have
themselves to thank for having lost
his support by their wild folly of
14th January The heinOusness of
their crime is illustrated by the
change it wrought in the opinions of
a man of such practical wisdom and
honest patriotism as w. B. Oleson.

A TALE FOR THE TINES.

Once upon a time man was
moving in a hay field. Presently
he got into an alteration with one
of his fellow-workmen. Reversing
the sythe he was using he swung
the blade around back Of his head
and aimed a vicious and powerful
blow at his opponent with the butt
end of the handle. His blow failed
to take effect as intended, but the
sharp blade of the sythe came
down with tremendous force on the
back of his own neck, and cut his
head clean off. A similar fate has
befallen the Bulletin in the use of
its new weapon called leash deficit"

NATIVE JURIES.

The scenes which have been en-
acted for the past several days at
the court house have again raised
the question as to whether native
juries are reliable or not. This
question has been one which has
been raised for the past dozen
years. The friends of native gov
eminent have, almost to a man,
stood in favor of the Hawaiian
jury system until the practical
working thereof has caused them to
desert its support. Since the Pro-
visional government came into
power the defects of the Hawaiian
jury system have been brought
into prominence, by failure to carry
out the provisions of the law as
required by the demands of justice.
The state has been advancing
by leaps and bounds in all
departments, except that of the
Judiciary. This has been hampered
by the results obtained by the
present jury system of Hawaii.
There is no doubt in the minds of
those who are attempting to carry
out the provisions of law, but they
are restrained by the results, which
up to date, have been reached by
the present system of trial by jury,
that is at present in vogue here.
1t is useless to assert that politics
cuts no figure in the results of the
trials by jury at the present term
of court. 1t is but just that the
bull be taken by the horns at the
present time and that the difficulty
be met at the outset.

The history of jury trials in Ha-
wall is not re-assuring. For many
years there have been complaints
from both political parties in the
field that the ends of justice could
not be attained through the agency
of native juries. 1t has been urged
during the last few months that
there was a failure of justice in
Hawaii, and these complaints have
not been confined to laymen. The
fact has been recognized in official
circles that since the revolution,
and even before, the majesty of the
law could not depend upon native
jurymen for vindication. The
question which arises today is,
Can the people of Hawaii de-
pend upon Hawaiian jury
for the fulfillment of the require
ments of Hawaiian law? The de-
mands of the jury system of Ha-
waii, according to the latest court
reports, have signally failed to meet
the ends of justice. What shall be
done?
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-08-16

There remains but one duty for
the government to perform that is
to meet the present judicial failure
as they have met the financial and
political failures in the last six
months, viz: by some radical
amendment and reform in the law
Of the land. The root Of the evil
lies at present in the jury system
of Hawaii. The present failure of
justice points directly to one of the
chief causes of the failure of the
monarchy. The question which
the Hawaiian people are a present
called upon to decide is, Shall the
old jury system be abolished or con-
tinued? The past failure of justice
is ample reason for its adjustment.
There are no present reasons for
the continuance of the system.
The public good demands that the
government should at once move
in the matter of remodeliDg the
jury system of Hawaii. The de-
tails for such a reform will be
given hereafter.

courts, and, working political preju-
dice to the last point, have inter
fered with the conviction of men
plainly culpable to the untutored
eye of the world. The fact that
the deputy encouragement has at
last seen fit to call a halt in the
present escapement of cases is sig
nificant. If it means anything, 1t
means that the government hopes
some law will be passed by which
they will be enabled to carry out.
the law as it now stands. 1t is evil
dent that the lawmakers did not
anticipate the fat failure of convic-
ton by jury now taking place.

ALUMINIUM ART GOODS.
A Magnificent Display Made In

AS an ADVERTISER representative
was vending his way along Fort
street yesterday afternoon in search
of news items, his attention was at
tracted to a magnificent display of
aluminium goods in one of the
windows of the jewelry estab-
lishment of Mr.. III. f. Wich-
man. The collection embraces
many useful and ornamental arti-
cles, which are offered at astonish-
ingly low figures. These goods are
manufactured in Germany and this
lot is the first ever shown in Homo
lulu. Aluminium is now being
used extensively in various forms
of manufacture, and is in a great
measure superceding the use of
silver, silver-plate and celluloid,
having advantages over any of
these in the matter of weight, dur
ability and artistic finish. Readers
of the ADVERTISER will be amply
repaid by paying a visit to Mr..
Wichman's establishment and
making an examination of these
aluminium goods.

The average citizen of Hawaii
will at once reply: Reform the
jury system. But, how? There is
but one answer. By the abolish
ment of the present jury system, as
far as race distinctions are con-
cerned. There is no doubt that
those who have watched the work
ing of the jury system for the past
ten years have seen the inherent
defects which have permeated the
system, outside of race prejudices.
These have not been the least of
the political troubles to interfere
with the course of justice.

STOLE THE MEDAL
Professor Holloway Forced to Ex-

Was Stolen.
NO cLEw TO THE SLEEK THIEF YET

Returned Very Soon.

Holloway will Perhaps Buy Another
Medal if the Stolen One Is Not
Returned Very Soon.
About a hundred people-parents and
friends of the pupils-assembled last
night in the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms for the
closing exercises of Holloway's business
school, in which the presentation Of
medals formed an interesting feature.
There were some fifty students in the
school, and as thirty eight Of these were
contestants for one or both of the medals
in question, the spirit of laudible ambi-
ton had grown into an exciting rivalry,
and the contest being a close one, the
decision Of the judges was looked for
ward to with an interest beyond that
usually noticeable on like occasions.
Professor G. w. Toms, Colonies G.. A.
Jordan and Z. c.. Piper were elected as
judges, and after examining the work of
each, awarded the medal for best pen
manship to Mr.. James E Lee, and the
one for greatest improvement to Mr..
Willie Suit.
And it was at this %juncture that a
funny thing happened-something for
which both the teacher and audience
were unprepared and which fell like a
dynamite bomb in the midst of the as
scmbled company.
AS is his general custom, Professor
Holloway had purchased the medals of
G.. r. Postley, which were handsome and
beautiful, and day before yesterday,
thinking to stimulate the class to put
forth their best efforts, turned one of
them over to the pupils for inspection.
When they were ready to disperse, lie
asked its return, when, to his surprise,
each in his turn denied having it or
know anything about it.
Thinking it a bit of pleasantly, he hu
morcd the joke and let it pass. The
The mex day he REPEATED his requst with
the same result. Anyhow. and briefly,
the medal was never returned, and one
of them was not awarded last night. If
it is returned it will be awarded soon
otherwise some time will be required.

De Musset's Childhood.

Nervous ~irritability and a desire to
distinguish himself were plainly visible
in Alfred de Musset at the age of 8 years.
Once he got a pair of new red shoes, and
he went into raptures about them. He
was so impatient to show himself in his
new shoes that he could scarcely wait to
be dressed. While his mother was dress
ing his hair he was trembling with i'm
patience, and at last he exclaimed in an
angry tone, Make haste, mamma, or
else my new shoes will get old"
The p~recocious boy was pampered and
spoiled and allowed to become a despot

Old Custom Handed Down.

How many a tell the origin of the
habit of closing the eyes in prayer? Far
back in the past the sun was the univer,
sal object of worship. AS it rose above
the horizon the devotee thanked it for
its return to bless the world. AS it set
in the west he implored its early return.
His face was always toward the sun in
prayer, and his eyes were closed to pre-
vent blindness. The habit has passed
down from father to son for thousands
of years. Though the object of worship
has been changed. the custom survives.

In these busy days Of push and prog

times it is not safe for nervous teams 10

About 8 o'clock this morning there
came near being a bad wreck with fatal
consequences.
A long empty hay wagon was lumber
ing up Church street from the direction
of the market house, with a number of
vehicles following in its train, when
there was a sudden crash-the horses
plunged and reared, and for several min
utes there was pandemonium in that
quarter.
Ladies who were driving buggies fell
back and the driver of the hay wagon
was soO at the bride attempting to quiet
his refractory team.

turned, and several persons who hap
pened to be crossing the street came near
being run over. A force of men were en-
gagged all forenoon in repairing the dam
age to the fountain, and other incon.
venience resulted from the accident.
Fortunately the fire engine did not
come along at that moment. But the
circumstance emphasized the fact that
our streets are too narrow for a busy
city, such as Durham is getting to be,
and the further fact that ladies cannot be
too careful when driving wild horses
along crowded thoroughfares.
