We have heard much about "the
dangerous class" in our commune
ties; but from recent events it
would seem, that instead of the de-
based, ignorant, criminal portion
of society, the dangerous element
is now the few men who are grasp
ing after wealth without any re-
gard for it's use excepting as it
serves their insatiate greed and ex-
asperating extravagances. Capt.
talists like those engaged in the
manipulation of some railroad cor
porations and the sugar trust, are
exciting a disregard for all right of
property in their abuse and def
ance of laws designed 10 control
and regulate its power of extortion
and determination. 1t is the
smaller Legislative bodies that are
the chosen field for such capital
lists exploits. A device that seems
best calculated to head them off is
the use of the referendum, requir-
ing the Endorsement Of the whole
citizenship in order to the validity
of certain acts of the legislative
body.-Exchange.

POLITICS ON HAWAII.
Natives are Still Being Misled by
Circulars Sent from Here.

In speaking of the political stu
alton on Hawal1, W. n. strong
said, last night:
while on Hawaii 1 made in
quiries regarding the political situa-
ton, and my conclusions are that
the natives are quite ready to sup
port the Republic if they are salts
fed that their lives and property
will be protected"
In answer to the question, what
do the natives seem to fear ?" the
speaker said: "They are informed
by circulars sent from Honolulu
and signed by Nawahi, that restor-
alton is still probable; they have
no means of refuting this statement,
and therefore they are awaiting
further action by the President of
the United States.
SIT seems to me to be certain
that the natives are slowly, but
surely, accepting the situation, and
will, in due course of time, support
the Republic"

A NEW JURY LAW.

The foolish refusal of some
among the Hawaiians to take the
oath required of all jurynen will
probably lead to the enactment by
the Councils of new law on the
subject, providing for the emer-
gency. The case does not seem to
present any especial difficulties.
The problem can be disposed of in
a variety of ways. For instance,
law may be passed providing
that whenever a vacancy shall oc-
cur in the panel through the re-
fusal of anyone to take the oath,
such vacancy may be filed from
any nationality. There is no lack
of loyal jurymen, and the provis-
ion indicated will obviate all diff
Guilty. We are informed that a
bill containing this provision will
probably be introduced at the next
session of the Councils.
1t is not proposed, we believe, to
at the present time any
legislation except such as may be
rendered necessary by unforeseen
and therefore this

KILAUEA is again in a state of
enormous activity. According to

the lava has dropped go feet, and
the pit walls have fallen in. Mr..
Thurston and his party with sew

ing in the extreme, and which no
other travellers have ever had the
good fortune to see. The arrival
of the Kinau will be anticipated
with interest, as further changes of
great Importance may have taken
place since the departure of the
Hall.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-07-18

change in the jury law would not
be attempted now if circumstances
did not require it. At the same
time the law proposed may stand
on its own merits, without any plea
of necessity. If adopted, it will
represent a distinct advance on the
system of mixed juries. 1t makes
no race distinction, but will allow
natives TO be drawn on a foreign
jury as well as foreigners on a
native jury. The race jury system,
and particularly the mixed jury,
while they have hitherto seemed to
be an indispensable part Of any
system adapted to Hawaiian con-
ditions, are none the less essen
TALLY vicious. On mixed jury 1T
is not unnatural that even an
honest man should regard himself
as the representative and protector
of the interests of his own race.
Hawaiians are not to be severely
censured if they almost invariably
take this view. To expect some
thing different is to expect great
deal more than can be reasonably
of race in this stage of
culture. The weakness is one
from which the most advanced
races are not free.
AS tie ADVERTISER has intimated
on a previous occasion, we believe
that the jury system has almost
outlived it's usefulness everywhere,
while in Hawaii it never had any |
to outlive. Where laws
are oppressive or unjust, the jury |
system is a good thing, for juries,
as rule, will not enforce unjust
laws. Where judges are corrupt or
tyrannical, juries stepin and protect
the people. But our laws are not
oppressive, and our judges are just,
and we need juries, if we need
Them at all, for neither of these
reasons. In these days when the
poorest is armed with a vote, when
public opinion is almost omnipo-
ent, the rdisoIo detre of the jury
system can hardly be said to exist.
We should have conscientious, up
light and impartial judges, to pass
lpon questions of fact as well as
Iuestions of law.
It need not be said that these
emarks are intended to apply par
to the conditions preva-
ent in this land of mixed races,
pposing civilizations, and hostile
eligions. In spite of the manifest
of the jury system as
exists across the water, it is not
ificult to conceive that there are
trong reasons for it's retention in
he United States of America.

ACCORDING to private advices, re-
ceived by the Australia, there was
some prospect of a great strike
among telegraph operators. This
would be about all required to COM
plete the Reorganization of the
business of transportation and
communication. The railroad and
telegraph are the nerves and AFTER
les of the social body, without
which its life cannot go on.

WHILE the date of the election
has not yet been fixed, it will prob
ably be postponed until well on
toward the end of the term allowed
by the Constitution. This course
is inspired by a spirit of fairness
toward those native Hawaiians
who have not yet decided what to
do. 1t will give ample time for
registration, so that. persons who do
not take the pains to qualify as
voters will owe their disfranchise-
ment to nothing but themselves.

In country where trade
winds blow great guns 'steen
months in the year something
different from an ordinary
clothes line and pins are
needed, because the washed
clothes are apt to blow off the
line and fall, ''buttered side
down" in the dust. If your
serving lady happens to be a
japanese, she will murmur, in
an undertone perhaps, some of
+ choicest epithets that are
suggestive of blue fire. In re-
tormatory work, an effort
should be made to restrict
the corps of servants, as we'll
as members of the household,
to language which could be
used in the drawing room as
we'll as at the wash tub.
One step toward accomplish
ing such a result would
be in adopting the
Pinless Clothesline. To
be obliged to 60 from one end
of line to the other with the
arms full of clothes and the
mouth gagged with clothes
pins is unpleasant to say the
least; then to have the clothes
to wash over again is much too
muchand not conducive to good
thoughts Or good language.
With a pinless line all such
troubles are avoided, rut the
clothing in the slot and the
gentle breezes do the rest, the
harder the wind blows the
less danger there is of the
pieces coming loose; if it
doesn't blow at all the clothes
hang there just the same.
Calculate the cost of rope
line and clothes pins and add
to it about what it costs to
renew clothes pins and buy
rope after it has rotted away
and you will find that in a
year you spend twice as much
as if you bought pinless line
and keep it going every day
for a decade.

The ferocious objection of the
Holomua to the oath required of
jurors seems somewhat inconsist-
ent when it is remembered that
this oath is the very same which
the Holomua has been advising the
Hawaiians, as voters, to take Why
is it fish in. one case and fowl in
another? There is no proposition
to compel Hawaiians TO be tried by
a foreign jury. tits proposed SIM
ply that disloyal jurors, of what
ever nationality, shall be replaced
by loyal jurors of any nationality.
Vixen the natives have come in
and taken the oath-and who can
doubt that they will soon follow
the advice Of so influential a jour-
nal as the Holomua-they will all
be duly qualified as jurors, and the
little complication will be over.

SESSION OF THE KNIGHTS.
Delegate Mastin of the Ohio Assembly
Not Admitted.

New Orleans, Nov. Little business
was transacted at this mornings session
of the general assembly Of the Knights of
Labor. The question of the eligibility of
Delegate Charles r. Mastin of d. A. 70.
with headquarters at Tfin. o. was de-
cided in favor of the general officers. who
had decided that the assembly had lapsed
and was entitled to no recognition by the
general assembly.
1t was learned this morning for the first
time that Grand Master Workman Sover-
eign has not presided at any session, and
the chair IS occupied by Worthy Foreman
Bishop.
The knights were in session nine or ten
hours to-day, and there is good authority
for the statement that the press commit
tee have been suppressing facts, and that
the real work of the session is not being
very fully given to the public through
the official press committee. There have
been many clashes in the meetings, but
the committee has striven to suppress in
formation respecting them.
The principal business transacted at the
afternoon session, according to the press
committee, was the consideration of the
cases of the fifteen subordinate assemblies
which have been suspended and referred
to the general assembly. This created the
necessity of prolonging the session from
clock to $3.50 clock, when an adjourn
ment was had to O'clock p. m.
Master Workman Sovereign stated that
1t had been intended to elect officers for
the ensuing year to-day, but that the cleo
ton had bene deferred to Monday, on ac-
count of hearing the cases mentioned
above. From good authority it is learned
that the afternoon session was taken up
with the hearing of the Pennsylvania
miners cases, no conclusion having been
raa cd ,, o.
journment was taken
The miners have not concluded their
statements, and five of them have been
given fifteen minutes each to present argu-
ments and facts.
The Sovereign contingent has been rein
forced by the arrival of two delegates
in response to kilograms, and these were
admitted without the formality of having
to go through the credentials commission
to test thier eligibility.

The People at Messina in a State of
Panic.
Rome, Nov. 17.-Reggio, and the whole
province of Calabria were shaken violently
by an earthquake last night. Much dam
age was done, and many persons were
killed, although nothing definite is yet
known as to the amount or number.
Troops have been called out to help the
families driven from their homes.
In San Procopicio several houses fell,
burying their occupants.
In Messina, where the shocks were al
most as violent as across the strait, the
convicts in the penitentiary were panic
stricken Two hundred mutinied, and
tried to escape by overpowering the
guards, but they were overpowered.
In Calabria trains have ceased running
on account of the landslides.
Slight shocks were felt last night in
Rome.
Earthquakes we're felt in the southern
part of Italy and Sicily throughout last
night The first shock in Messina was the
most violent. 1t lasted twelve seconds,
and was accompanied with loud rumb-
lings The inhabitants fed, shrieking
with fright from their houses, and filled
the streets with their clamor.
The hospital, although but slightly dam
aged was shaken so violently that many
patients became hysterical, and had to
be removed
The panic abated somewhat about mid
night and a few persons returned to their
homes Most of the inhabitants, how
ever, decided to pass the night in the
streets and on the squares.
After two hours the rumblings began
again and the former scenes of panic
were re-enacted. Men and women ran
aimlessly In all directions. Hundreds
dropped to their knees and prayed aloud
for deliverance.
Early this morning another shock oc-
Cured. To-day many streets are entirely
deserted. Dozens of persons have taken
refuge on ships in the harbor There have
been six shocks in all.
In Reggie many houses are cracked
and threaten to fall at any moment. The
panic-stricken inhabitants are camping
in shelters erected by the soldiers. Pa
trolls distribute food and other necessa-
ries.
1t is known that six persons were killed
and several injured in Bagnara, but de-
tails are wanting, owing to the demoral-
ization of the railway and telegraph SER
vice. Signor Tacchini chief of the Rome
observatory believes that the shocks
were confined to the Lipari Islands and
the provinces of Messina and Reggie, and
were connected with volcanic activity in
Mount Etna.
Director Ricco of the observatory of
Catania thinks that the disturbance has
ceased for the present
Premier Crispi has sent funds to the
prefect of the provinces to supply the
most urgent needs of the distressed in
habitants.
