Hawaii has been the benefactor

but it is to him that Hawaii to-
day owes its present prosperity
We defy the Star and the Adrsr-

who brought more money to this
country than ever done earlier or
later and who has been found
ready at all times to lose it and
even to throw larger sums after
his first expenditure.
The ingratitude exhibited by
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Bolte in pro-
posing a new association the OBJ
iect of which is a declaration Of

this morning mskes serious at
tack on tie Hawaiian jury. An
accused burglar was found not
guilty by nine jurors and the
government organ consequently
feels very mad.
We do not claim to know any

and we admit that we don't care
a snap for the whole business.
But We state openly and delib-
erstely that it is a gross outrage
for any paper to criticize any
jury and putsup its own judge
ment against that of nine "true
and good" men. The latter had
the advantage of hearing the case.
The newspaper only knows of it
from hear say.
a foreign jury, this morning
acquitted a Chinaman charged
with gambling = the man was
guilty and the evidence WIS over
wEelming. Not word is breath
ed against the haole jurors. No
charge of miscarried justice is
made. The action of the haole
jury is above reproaeh and the
natives who acquitted the alleged
native thief is condemned.
II the jury system is to be pre-
served in these islands, the news

every scribbler within their ranks
is not fit to sit as Judge, counsel

Who He Is

A visitor who seeks information
writes to us and asks what Claus
Spreckels' position is to Hawaii.
We understand that our en-
quirer leaves tomorrow in the
Australia and we are sorry that
he does so.
To tell plainly and honestly
what .Spreckels has been to Ha..
waii is not matter Of brief mo.
ments.
We wish that We had weeks be-
fore us in which to write columns
that could do justice to the sub.
ject.
The reason why the subject
has been broached can be traced
to the attempt Of Mr.. c. Bolte
and Co. to form a company which
viii act as a sugar TRUST and
endeavor 10 crush Spreckels
and the interests represented By
him.
Claus Spreokels is an old man
today and we believe that he is
not unwilling TO retire from the
financial field in which he has
been master for years. His
wonderful shrewdness and his
unparalleled determination have
been sent down from him to s
younger generation and the men
who lately shave opened cam

End that the gauntlet Of defiance

Deserved Honors.

Few diplomats in Hawaii have
ever made themselves more gen
orally respected and popular than
has the diplomatic agent OF the
Miksdo Mr.. S. Full. This gentle
man has accomplished his mis-
sion here. He was sent here By
his government when the Hawai-
ian relations to Japan were OF
q most difficult character. Through
his tact and diplomatic skill, he
has succeeded in placing the
japanese residing here on the
same basis as that enjoyed by all
foreign citizens. The japanese
in Hawaii today is no longer
IAN Asiatic" he is the peer of
every man, who breathes the air
Of the Paradise Of the Pacific.
The intended departure of Mr..
Fuiii Lhas been deeply regretted
by all parties. A petition signed
by the leading Japanese in Ha-
waii to the japanese government
will go forward praying for his
retention here.
Another petition signed by the
masses Of japanese laborers is
now being circulated for the same
purpose.
While we are egotistical enough
to wish for the retention of Mr.
Full here we recognize the fact
that man like him should be
used in a larger field than offered
in Hawaii.
That Mr.. Full has made nu-
merous friends among the for
eigners here can be seen from the
fact that numerous farewell enter
tainments are rendered to him.
Mr.. John Ena gave most elegant
luau in his honor a few days ago.
Mr.. Paul Neumann entertained
the Consul General at dinner
yesterday. Tonight a number of
members OF the Pacific Club Will
give a farewell dinner and to-
morrow night the leading Japa-
nese will say Eau revoir" to their
departing representative at din
ner at Sans Souci. If Mr.. Fujii
leaves us for good, he will do so
with the conviction that he has
earned the good viii of everybody,
the enmity of none. May Hawaii
be pleased by diplomat
equally popular and accommoda-
ting as Mr.. Fujii and may our
friend find as jolly a crowd as be
has met in Honolulu. Do they
play "Singe" in KoreaP

He Talks.

Among the arrivals on the stea-
mer China from Japan yesterday
were Mr.. and Mrs. George d.
Mumford, who have been spend
ing the past six months in see-
ing the sights and attractions of
the Mikado's kingdom. Mr.. MIMI
ford is a son of the late George
D. Munford. at one time vice
president of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. He was
married several months ago, and
with his wife went to the Orient
on a honeymoon trip. He is
now returning home to New York
to commence the practice of the
law.
Mr.. and Mrs Mumiord had the
pleasure of seeing many of the
warlike preparations made by
the japanese authorities at the
commencement of the hostilities
and also enjoyed the pleasure of
seeing the Mikado while on his
way to Hiroshima, where he went
to take charge of the military af-
fairs of the nation. They were
at Nagoya last month when the
Emperor's party arrived.
1.-The town put on gala appear
ance in honor of ths arrival of
the distinguished visitor, and the
people went almost wild with de-
light, said Mr.. Mumford. Jap
anese lanterns were displayed In
front of all the houses, arches
were erected over the streets and
grand displays OF fire. works were
given to property celebrate the
event. But the enthusiasm of
the people got the best of them.
In their great excitement they
set off the fireworks which were
intended for the night in the
daytime. q
"The Emperor remained in
Nagoya two days. occupying a
priests house within the walls of
the temple. He appeared. before
the people for about five minutes
only, and received a tremendous
ovation.
There can be no question as to
the loyalty and patriotism Of the
Japanese. According to the
Japanese papers, which. under
the strict censorship now in
vogue, print nothing that is not
official. the Japanese have con-
tributed handsomely to the war
fund. The proprietors of the
rich Ashio copper mines gaye

chants. business men. priests
and even little children gave IL
berally, many contributing more
than they could really afford. 2
Many conflicting statements
have been published concerning
the amount of treasure captured
by the japanese army at the bat
tie Of the Ping Yang. Mr. Num-
ford says that some of the Japa-
nese papers recently published
