TAKING THE OATH.

The taking, or not taking, the
oath required of those who hold
Government positions is serious
question to some of the natives and
whites. The natives, if they take
it, incur the i'll will of their asso-
ciates.
With the whites it is different.
The dominating sentiment is in
favor Of taking it; and one is, So
cially, the gamer by it. A few,
and some of them holding Govern
ment positions, refuse to take it on
conscientious" grounds. We are
bound, of course, to respect honest
motives, but human affairs, and
especially governments, must be
conducted on certain principles.
The foundation principle is that of
loyalty.
In the old times, those who re-
fused to support the Government
were, generally, put out of the way
or imprisoned or were branded as
traitors. We do better now, and
allow those, who are suffering from
the weight of an overburdened con-
science, to enjoy what martyrdom
there is in simply excluding them
from sharing in the Government
and its emoluments.
at was my conscientious duty
to stir up a slave insurrection in
Virginia." said old John Brown.
1T is my conscientious duty to hang
you for it," said the Governor of
Virginia. Both copsciences were
hard at work, but the conscience of
the majority had its own way, as it
usually does, even if it be quite
wrong.
Calico had good working con-
science when he took, under force,
the oath to the church, that the
earth was fiat, and, at the same
time, whispered to his friends, tits
round, all the same"
Many thousand Confederates,
after the civil war in the States,
refused to take the oath of al
legiance, but finally yielded. Some
now live, who have not taken it,
but they are only laughed at by
their sensible friends, who suffered
and sacrificed greatly, but took
things as they found them. If the
old martyrs, who were burned at
the stake for righteousness sake,
were to return to life, some of them
would say that the line between
conscientiousness and pig-headed-
ness was narrow and very indis-
tinct

CHEF JUSTICE JUDD.

The Chief Justice has received
the parchment from the Faculty of
Yale University, containing the de-
gree of L. L. D., recently conferred
on him.
In comforting this honor, the Fac
ulty recognizes the long, faithful
and able services rendered by the
Chief Justice in the judicial determ-
ination of many novel, complicated
and often important legal questions
in these Islands.
In the transition from one social
condition to another there is usu-
ally serious physical conflict, and
in any event always great danger
of it. The world acts on the belief
that the shortest way to convert
men is to knock them down. But
in Hawaii there is the remarkable
instance of peaceful transition
from the savage to the civilized
state, at least outwardly. This was
done by the exercise of the utmost
good faith, ability and sound sense
by those who controlled the admin
istration of laws and the judiciary.
In aiding this transition Judge Judd
has done admirable work for many

years. There were few precedents
before him, and the theory of COM
mon law for the government Of the
natives was unsettled. He and his
associates, with the assistance Of
the Bar, were called upon to graft
upon Hawaiian stock the fruit and
the buds of Anglo-Saxon jurispru-
dence. 1t was work demanding
clear insight and patience. The
fact that he was Hawaiian by birth
and was born into knowledge of
and sympathy with the natives,
greatly aided in the solution of
these complex questions. His work
and that of his associates has al
ready become a rich and interesting
mine of legal history one which
displays the evolution of political
institutions under the most peculiar
circumstances.
The natives have been, Of
course, wholly unconscious of the
value of this work. It has been
done in spite of them, although the
Chief Justice has always had the
tenderest love for the Hawaiian race.
With the wise consent of the earlier
sovereigns, and against the will of
the later and depraved ones, the
Bench stood as a solid breakwater,
against which the waves OF lgnor-
ance, misrule, and corruption only
dashed and broke. 1t remained
the one pure, unassailable institu-
ton, which arose with Kameha-
meha Ill, and stood alone when
ali other branches Of the Govern
ment went down with the corrupt
monarchy. For these reasons the
degree conferred upon the Chief
Justice was we'll deserved.
Aside from this, the comforting
of the degree is an indisputable ar
gument in favor of the high social
and political condition of the Re-
public, at a time when its char
acter is on trial before the world.
Justice is the standing polity of
civilized races, and if its admins
tration here is ever questioned, it
is quite sufficient to reply, that the
Faculty of the great Yale Univer-
sity was willing to put It's hand
and seal to document, which ap-
proves and honors the work of the
man who has presided over it's
highest court, and kept its inter
probation of law on the plane of the
foremost American States. Euro
pean nations vigilantly watch the
course of justice, in the distant and
new countries, to which their citl-
zens emigrate. In this cosmo-
politan place, holding the repre-
sentatives of all European races,
and where the political relations
have been sometimes strained, there |
has never been a case, we believe,
where the integrity and intelligence
of the Supreme Court has been
seriously questioned.
Upon the Presiding Justice of
such a court, this high degree was
most fttingly bestowed, and the
Republic shares in the honor of it.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1894.

There's another story about
another Irishman who bought
apples at two for three cents
and sold them for a cent apiece,
deriving his profit from the
fact that he sold a great guam
tity every day. We're not
dealing in apples but in good
solid hardware and a few
other lines that contain arti-
cles fer the home of the rich
man Or the poor one. We say
poor, because there are not a
half dozen men in the country
who will admit that they have
sufficient of this worlds goods
to last them over Sunday. In
catering, then, to the poor we
hit them all.
Our store is replete with
everything needed to make
life comfortable for the plain
everyday business man or he
who does the bossing on
a plantation. A poor cook
stove will make a woman do
a skirt dance quicker than
anything else, and bad cook
ing will give man dyspepsia
in short order. There are lots
of ladies in Hawaii nei whose
countenances bear perennial
smiles brought about by hav-
ing a Pansy stove in the
kitchen; occasionallyyou meet
one whose face is decidedly
bent from constantly turning
up her nose at a poor stove.
Nothing will bring wrinkles
to the face like a no-account
cook stove-a Pansy is a
dermatologist.
Other things than cooking
bother the plantation man;
eating is the least of his
troubles. His thoughts rest |
mainly on sugar, and the
means of getting the greatest |
number of tons to the acre of |
cane. He realizes that a
source of profit is in labor
saving machinery and nipple
ments for cuItivating the soil. |
He must devise means of pro-
curing for his land sufficient |
water for proper irrigation,
realizing that lack of water
means lack of saccharine mat
ter in his sugar and conse-
quently less profit to the
stockholders in whose inter-
ests he works. The Hendry
Breaker is one of the articles
for plantation use that has
helped out more managers
than you have any idea of. In
cases where rough ground is to
be broken and where a saving
in horse flesh is a matter for
consideration, the Hendry
Breaker has been used
with marked advantage over
other plows. AS a mat
ter of fact it does work
with four horses that could
not be accomplished with less
than eight in using any other
pillow.
In the matter of water for
irrigation, we doubt if even a
steam engine would be as
satisfactory as our steel Aer-
motor has proven. In cases
where water has to be forced
to any considerable height, the
Aermotor does it without hay
ing to be fed with coal as is the
case with an engine. It re-
quires no watching, no firing
up, nothing but a little oil ,
occasionally and like interest
it never sleeps. We have these
windmotors in three sizes: ,
eight, twelve and sixteen feet.
They will revolve in lighter :
wind and do more work than a
wooden wheel with diameter
four feet greater, and unlike a
wooden wheel, the larger the
Aermotor, the less wind it takes
to run it. You do not have
to go great a distance from
Kapiolani Park to see this
demonstration. The pumps

Trouble in the Coal Trade.

Strenuous efforts are being made to
| check the trouble in the coal trade. A
meeting was held on Friday in Phila.
delphia which was attended by President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania; President
Wilbur, of the Lehigh Valley; President
Maxwell, of the Jersey Central, and
President Harris, of the Reading. Its
object was to adopt measures by which
coal prices could be strengthened, and
was one of series that has been held
recently.
Today ten corporations practically
control the market. They are the Read
ing, Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western, Della
ware and Hudson, the Erie, jersey
Central, New York, Susquehanna and
Western, New York, Ontario and
Western Railroad Companies, and Coke
Bros. & Co. The bone of contention is
the quantities the various interests are
allowed to mine. When the old allot.
ments were decided upon and put into
force, no provision was made for new
interests, and since then, the New York,
Susqnehanna and Western, the New
York, Ontario and Western and Coke
Bros. & Co. became important factors in
the market, their aggregate tonnage
exceeding 100000 tons annually.
Several months ago committee was
appointed to recommend new allotments.
This committee, it is claimed, was con-
trolled by Coke Bros. & Co., and it re-
ported percentages for some companies
and made allowances for the output of
the new ones. The report was prompt
ly tabled, and from that time on, it is
alleged, Coke Bros. & Co. ceased to work
in harmony with the trade, claiming the
various agreements entered into between
the leading interests were regularly
broken.
The meetings of the railroad presi.
dents have been held to adjust the
trouble if possible. With what success
the efforts will meet cannot be stated
but coal men look for important develop.
ments in the near future. Tomorrow
the sales agents will hold their regular
monthly meeting in New York, and it is
thought that some definite plan of action
will then be proposed, the secret meet
ings OF the week simply being prepara-
tory to final adjustment Of the trouble

only Twenty-Eight Democrats.

in Lycoming, one in Miillin, one in Mon

A Bit of Unwritten History.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The coal trade generally does not take
much stock in the rumors to the effect
that Coke Bros. & Co. are contemplating
a sale of their interests to the Jersey
Central. A bit of unwritten history that
has bearing on this point is the fact
that at the time of the Mcleod coal
combination negotiations for the sale of
the Coke Bros interests were carried
on for some time and fell through. 1t
was then proposed to divide the proper
ty, Reading, Lehigh Valley and Jersey
Central each taking one-third on the
basis of Sl2,0O0,0 for the whole. 1t
failed, it is said, owing to the objection
of President Maxwell, of the Jersey
Central, who thought the price too high.
1t is understood that Coke Bros. & Co.
ask more for the property now than
they did two years ago.
