WALTER G. SMITH.
The Star Directors Consider the
Matter of His Candidacy.

The matter of the candidacy of
Walter G. Smith was under discus
sion yesterday and two representa-
tives of the American League, and
two of the Annexation Club con-
ferred with the directors of the
Star on the subject. No definite
action was taken, however, but the
Star directors have made up their
minds in the matter. They feel
that the interests of the Star would
suffer if it's editor occupied posi-
ton in the Advisory Council, and
i'm this matter they feel that it is
right for them to look solely to the
interest of the stockholders in the
paper.
The directors have accordingly
written a letter to Mr.. Smith, en-
bodying their views. 1t is SUBJ
joined below:
MIR. w ALIEN VI -NSO~ -
the Hawaiian Star.
DEAR SIR:-At a meeting OF the
undersigned directors OF the Hawaiian
Star Newspaper Company, your pro-
nosed candidacy for election in case OF
q vacancy in the Advisory Council
was under consideration. Recognize
ing i'm full measure the principles
which actuated the members OF tine
American League and Annexation
fAr r6 name
as a candidate, we must revert 10
those same principles as the very
reasons for the stand we feel obliged
to take i'm the matter. We feel that
membership in the council Is IN
compatible with editing newspaper
in that the paper would be looked up
on as a uuasi-Government organ; ltS
editorials as the reflex OF the Govern
ment's attitude on matters OF polltl-
cal nature that may receive newspaper
mention. Its criticisms of public men
and measures would be open to the
same charge, and the independence,
and therefore, the utility of the news
naper would be sacrificed. The Star
has been conducted in its editorial de-
nartment i'm q manner thoroughly In
accord with the sentiments of the pro-
0ressiye elements in these Islands,
and to the entire satisfaction of the
shareholders of the company. we de-
sire to have it continue under the
same untrammelled conditions that
have obtained in the past, until repre-
sentative Government in these Islands
shall have become an established fact.
To this end, and until our purpose is
accomplished, we feel that you should
wholly devote your time and energy
to the interests of the Star, confident
that in so doing you will most strong
Iy support the cause in whlch your
services are enlisted.
Yours truly,
JOHN ENINELUTH,

A SHARK HUNTER.
The Sport of Ancient Hawaiian
Kings to be Revived

There will probably be no man
among the natives who are to in
habit the Hawaiian village at the
Exposition who will attract more
attention, individually, than Koha-
ma Maka, the far-famed diver, long
distance swimmer and shark hum
ter of the Hawaiian Islands. The
holders of the Hawaiian concession
have made arrangements to secure
his services during the entire term
of the concession, and the deep
pool which is to find place in
the center of the Hawaiian Island
village will be the theater of some
remarkable feats by the magnifi-
cent acquatic performer. 1t is said
of Kohana that he can remain I'M
der water from three to four min
utes with ease, while there is abso-
lutely nothing in the way of swim
ming that he cannot do.
He will not be able to kill any
sharks in the pool for the simple
reason that there won't be any
there, but such arrangements will
be made as to enable him to show
how it is done. This matter of
shark-hunting was a great national
sport in the times of ancient kings
of Hawaii. Then it was the GUS
tom when great feasts were held to
celebrate victories, to fling the mu-
tilated carcasses of slaughtered
foemen into the sea on purpose to
attract the great man-eaters to the
spot where the sports were to be
held. Then a chief would dive in
to the midst of them, knife in hand,
and rising beneath one of the mon
sters he would with one slashing
sweep of his weapon directed at
the sharks belly, fairly lay it open.
Kohana will ''go through the mo-
tions" of doing this in very real
istic way at the Exposition, and
will also perform any number OF
other Aquatic feats.-S. F. Chron-
icle.

THEY WERE TO RUN.
A Sailor from the Philadelphia Elk
plains His Orders.

An amusing story of what might
have happened had the American
troops landed according to the
wishes of our Great and Good
Friend has just come out.
A few days ago, some one
asked a sailor from the Phila-
delphia whether the crew OF that
ship had made any preparations to
land if called upon by Minister
Willis to do so. He replied that
they had, and went on to say, In
perfect good faith, that the way
they understood the matter was
that if they were called upon to
shoot at the Government forces,
they were first to fire over their
heads, then the Hawaiian troops
were to do the same, and then the
United States troops were to run.
He seemed perfectly sure that this
was the programme that would be
carried out.

Poor MafabeleS.

The Matabeles will pay dearly for
it if they have destroyed the small
force of forty men under Captain
Wilson. For every man cut off the
English will exact hundred or more
and the spirit in which they will go
into battle will be something like
that of our Seventh Cavalry when
they came in contact with the Sioux
who massacred Clusters little force.

Military DespOti m.

We are fast approaching the condition
Of the countries of the Old World in
some respects. The generals OF the army
are calling for an immediate doubling Of
our standing army; not to repel foreign
enemies, but to Coerce American labor
inRmen into accepting whatever condi-
tions or expressions may be imposed
upon them. General Hsrwood, who
commands the department Of the East,
says:
u strongly recommend an increase Of
the army TO at least double the size of
our present force. It will, in my judg-
msnt, be like an adequate police, the
best possible method OF preserving the
peace until many vexstious questions
which are now troubling our country
are put at rest by a solution sstisfsc-
tory to the people Of the nation"
Thus this military minion of the money
power would not only saddle increased
taxation upon as, but establish the ele.
ments Of military despotism in our
midst. Any star ding army is q de-
morslizing element in society, and as
dangerous to q nation in time OF peace
as it is to an enemy in time Of war.
Lst US remove the cause of the present
conditions, and the conditions them
selves will disappear. 1t would be an
everlasting shame to ell Americans to
increase our standing army.-PsnnSyl-

cess ut all through which to peacefully
and orderly improve civilization.
Our previous analysis has but one OBJ
ject, that Of letting the people trace
effects to causes. That alone can teach
them bow to permanently suppress the
evils with which all nations have forever
been afflicted. A single, solitary word
smbodies all those evils. That word is
monopoly. Our judiciary is nothing but
heincRrnstion Of intellectual monopoly,
a few minds declaring the truth about
this or that law. That must necessarily
prove fatal to all real freedom. That
negatives the manhood Of the millions
who are forced to live under the laws in
question. We can make another set,
but what is the usef Our judiciary may
see fit to read them in the way we meyer
meant they should read. We are moth
ing, then, but pack of serfs.
We emphsticslly assert that the judi
Ciary in governmental functions must be
swept out Of existence by the sovereign
people, through the ballot, IL we want to
ever be nation Of free men, with capsc-
ity to read our own laws, and hence with
the spirit Of self, government.
We shall be glad to recsde from our
position if our analysis can be- proved
incorrect, and our conclusions incompst-
ible with much better civilization than
any 30 fsr.-Joss Gros, in Locomotive

the old Greeks, their ancestors were the
gods Of Olympus. Some feeling Of the
kind has always prevailed even on this
side Of the Atlantic, and hes beed fsta
to us.
Suppose that we try TO be frank with
ourselves, and boldly trace our present
evils to what we may call our five Capi
tai national sins, They are as follows:
Taxation in the most unjust forms
possible.
Monetary systems vile in the extreme,
Banking methods adapted to gam
bling hells.
Glass legislation of the most criminal
kind.
land monopoly, land robbery, carried
to the most gigantic degree imsgin-
able.
By the last sin alone we have, in q
solitary century, given to 100000 fsmi
lies the pstrimony that Cd meant for
l billion Of people and their unborn gen.
erstiong.
We are willing to saddle our own gen.
GRAFTON with the responsibility OF having
considerably intensified our above five
capital sins. Yet, we challenge any body
to disprovs that their essence has not
always been among US, or that they have
not constituted the germs out OF which
we have developed all our national dis
eases. And how can we suppress any OF
our present evils unless we see the
causes to which they are due, far back,
directly or indirectly sanctioned by the
very laws forever at the root Of our
social structure?
Look now at the naked fact that be-
hind that set of laws OF our own, to
which we must necessarily owe our own
national troubles, we have msgnif
cent judiciary, virtually clothed with
omnIpotsnt power. Is it wise to have q
lot Of fac judges who can play the pope
without living In the Vsricsn, that
palace in the eternal city, that Rome,
the capitol OF ItslyP VINO can give us
q plain answer to that plain question:
Can you tell us what becomes Of popu-
lar government and real freedom when
Ave or six men, ten or ftty, are allowed
to read our own laws the way they lkeP
Is not that an emphatic assertion that
the people cannot DO trusted to do their
own thinking, and cannot cancel any
law they may find unsatisfactory, to be
replaced by another onsP Or is human
language incapable Of formulating plain
thoughts, appealing to the plain sense
OF the average manP II 80, why have
any public or private schools where men
may learn how to reason correctly on
the fundamentals Of human existence,
in the lie they have to live? Is not
language divine gift to men, for them
to understand each other in all that may
be conducive to their welfare and man
hood on the face Of the esrthP
Don't you see that we really rslegste
most men, and even God himself into
the limbo OF fools, when We give to a
few judges the power to-ssy: the laws
you made don't read the way you want
them to read; or they don't mean what
you wanted them to mean. Why should
any number Of judges know what We
mean by this or that law; by this or that
The advocate., 1894-11-07

how that improves the sikustion. The
situation means that the people have not
even brains enough to elect men that
can be trusted to do what tho people
may need or what the people may wish
them to do. The situation means that
majority Of five or six men, in bench Of
judges, shall say what q msjority Of fifty
or q hundred or more in legislative
bodies meant or should mean in the laws
they passed for the real or apparent
purpose Of fulfilling their engagements
toward the men who elected them to
make their own laws. That kills all re.
sponsibility on the part Of the men we
elect. That converts popular freedom
into clean farce, and our representa-.
tives into puppets.
Whether truth and men come from q
conscious power called God, or from un-
conscious nature, in either case they
must be intimately interlinked, men and
the truth by which they are to live or
perish, eDj y or suffer. II so, language
must be able to express truth in forms
easily apprehended by most men, and
the latter should then be able to formu-
late laws that could have but one plain,
simple meaning. A judiciary for the
purpose Of interpreting laws or c0nstitu-
tiops is nothing but an emphatic repudi-
alton Of logical creator, or that Of
humanity with plain common sense,
That judiciary Of ours virtually asserts
that mon were never born to be free,
never born to understand truth, outside
Of q few judges, in favor Of whom we
sbdicsts all discriminating powers be
tween truth and error, between right
and wrong in the life Of our own nation.
That millions OF supposed free men
should need to place few judges, moth
log but lawyers after all, on the very top
Of states and nation, for q number Of
years or Tor life, with fat salaries, COM
pared with the mean earnings Of most
honest workers; to be clothed with
fsnoiful infallibility about human laws,
when the few men in question are just
as fsllible as every one of US, even il
they have been in college, and perhaps
more fsllible on that account! Is not
that just ss childish and idiotic, just az
illogical and unnatural as possibleS
We can only sec q reasonable sxplsns-
tion for the existence OF q judiciary in
governmental functions. It is that
eternal fear that the wise men of Rll
periods have had lest they are swept of
the face Of the earth by the excesses of
the ignorant. The latter, with the bal
lot in their hands, may become ex-
tremely dangerous, they may even force
wrong laws through the delegated Iegls-
latlve bodies they can influence. Hence
the peed Of q few men, back Of those |
legislative bodies to whom we, the wise
fellows, may resort, when necessary, to
have such and such laws declared un-
constitutional, or to have them read so
and 30; just what We, the wise chaps,
consider it best for the preservation of
Of these laws Of monopoly without which
everybody would eventually possess as
much wealth and knowledge as every
one OF US; when none Of US could lord it
over the rest! And how dreadful that
