ton OF a jury TO try native
cases here looks as though it
might be growing serious to
the fellows whose names grace
the calendar. AS the consti-
tuition does not provide that
natives shall be tried by Ha-
waiians, though it is custom,
and citizens of that rationale
ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed by the present Advisory
Council.
In some parts of the United
States, New York for instance,
to be eligible to jury duty, a
man must be a citizen of the
United States, a resident of
the district in which he is
called and be the owner either
in his or his wife's name. of
two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real or personal
property" Citizens are Great
ed by law and natives do not
become citizens until the
statutes make them such. In
this instance the taking of the
oath to support the present
government is all that is
necessary. This seems to de-
eide the question whether
change in the form of govern
ment nullifies the citizenship
of the people" To become a
citizen now, one must be
politically born again and the
result Of last Mondays mid
wifery was that all but three
of the panel died "a bornin."
The only relief for this state
OF affairs seems to be in
amending the constitution;
men do not become criminals
until they are convicted Of the
charges on which they are
tried and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. If they are
not tried within a certain
time they have a good strong
kick which must be recog-
nized by the court. We
cannot see where the taking
Of the required oath to support
the government is a guarantee
that the verdict rendered will
be according to the law aud
the evidence, the result the
court and attornies should
strive to obtain. The Judi
ciary being considered above
politics it must not be sup
posed that the court would be
a party to increasing the num-
Der of supporters of the
government by any such pecu-
liar methods.
If you can get an article
that will DO all and more than
another will at the same price,
it seems reasonable to decide |
that the more versatile is the |
one to be used. The I'D. & d."
polisher is one of them. 1t |
does everything that Sapolio |
does and more too, it polishes |
silverWare without the Sigh
est injury to the metal. |
Everyone who uses Sapolio
knows that the instructions |
are not to use it on silverware.
I'D. 6 d." is purely a vegetable
preparation containing no
acids and may be used on the
finest polished woodwork
without injury. We are the
only people who sell this arti-
Gle and we know it is good.
Our stand Lamps, good |
quality, at low prices, are
what have been wanted in
Honolulu for a year past. 1t
has been hard to get a really
serviceable and stylish lamp
for q dollar and six bits until
we found them in Pittsburgh.
They are sellin G rapidly and
delay means a taIlow candle;
they cannot last long when
people get acquainted with
their good points.
We have a few oil burning
Radiators that will be in de-
mand at the beach when the
weather changes and in the
mountains even now. They
are built just like an ordinary
heating stove except that they
