A NEW JURY Law.

| among the HawallaDs 10 taSe the
oath required of all jurynen will
probably lead to the enactment by
the Councils of a 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,
a law may be passed providing
that whenever 8 vacancy shall &C.
cur in the panel through the re-
fusal of anyone to take the oath,
such vacancy may be filled from
any nationality. There is no lack
of loyal jurymen, and the proyis-
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
undertake at the present time any
legislation except such as may be
rendered necessary by unforeseen
contingencies, and therefore this
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
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 a mixed jury it
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 a great
deal more than can be reasonably |
demanded of race in this stage of |
culture. The weakness is one
from which the most advanced |
races are not free.
AS the ADVERTISER has intimated |
on a previous occasion, we believe
that the jury system has almost
its usefulness everywhere,
while in Hawaii it never had any
to outlive. Where laws
are oppressive or unjust, the jury
system ia a good thing, for juries,
as a 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 vote, when
public opinion is almost omnipo-
tent, the raison d'etre Of the jury
system can hardly be said to exist
We should have conscientious, up
right and impartial judges, to pass
upon questions of fact as well as
questions Of law.
It need not be said that these
remarks are intended to apply par
to the conditions preva-
lent in this land of mixed races,
civilizations, and hostile
In spite of the manifest
of the jury system as
it exists across the water, it is not
difficult to conceive that there are
strong reasons for its retention in
tie United States of America.

HE WAS INFATU4IED.
Frank Matthews, OF Lynchburg, Tells His
Low. Story to jus lee John.

The depths to which mans infatuation
for woman can carry him was eXempii-
fled in the Police Court yesterday, Wheh
Mr.. w. f. Matthews, former we'll
known merchant and business man oil
Lynchburg. appeared to answer TO the
charge of assaulting Mrs. Kate Mcfar-
lanc. who asked that he be put under
boud for fear he would do her bodily
harm.
Last spring Mr. Matthews went TO sioux
Fails. 8 d., to obtain divorce from
his wife, nee Miss Parish Of Charlottes-
Vile. who had lived unhappily together
in LyHchburg for some years, a.thoush
four children were born TO them.
There he met Mrs. Kate McFaria"e'
who was then on the same mission.
Both Of them secured divorces, and they
fell desperately in love with each other,
ana. according to Matthews statement
lived together for five months IN SIOUX
Falls Is man and wife.
The five months they lived in Sioux
Falls they were not apart two hours.
When he went fishing or hunting she ac-
companied him, so Sreat was their mat
uatiOn.
According TO the mans statements MIS-.
McFarlane induced her admirer TO come
to Virginia. where they would get mar
r!ed They arrived i'm Lynchburg last
summer and boarded in the country -FOUR
or five miles from Lynchburg. Larry IN
September they had a quarrel ana Mrs.
McFarlane told Matthews she would not
maSry him.
Mis- nearly set the infatuated man
wild, and he got very drunk and shot al
her. The couple then stayed apart a
short time after this escapade, and Mat
thews was sent TO a Keely institute IN
Maryland While OF the incbriate asy-
lum he wrote a number of love letters 10
her, but only received one reply.
When he left the institute he again
met Mrs. NcFarlane I'm Richmond, and
she went to see him several times at the
hotel at which he was stopping, and met
him at fixed points.
Finally the lady located in Richmond
with her mother. who is an invalid, and
boarded at No. 500 east Grace street.
Last Saturday Matthews came down
from Lynchburg. and Mrs McFarlan'
prevailed on him to remain until last
| Monday night While here their en-
| gagement was agreed upon, and Matthews
| bought her an engagement ring.
| When he called on his tiance Wednes-
day night. with his heart full of JOY and
| love and the solitaire ring in his pocket
| for his promised wife, Policeman Gibson
confronted him with warrant for his
arrest, sworn out by Mrs McFarlane.
Yesterday morning Justice John did not
think the evidence was such as would
justify him in putting Matthews under
bond, and he dismissed the case with the
admonition that if Matthews again mo-
Tested the woman he would punish him
severely.
Since he met Mrs. McFarlane Matthews
saws he has spent between $1,000 and
$1,000. and two or three days ago he adj
vertsed to sell his property in Lynchburs
