advantage of it and in many IN
stances the law helped to cancel
illicit relations caused by unhap
by marriages. 1t would be OF
great value coming legislatures If
somebody would gather statistics
showing the proportion of divorces
to marriages in Hawail-nei and
comparative tables from the past
or enty year RS.
IF it then should be shown, as
we believe it would, that there Is
an undue increase in divorces,
public opinion should be heard
and the influence Of the church
courts and society be brought to
bear upon this most important
issue and hand-in-hand stem the
growing evil. As things now
look there can be no doubt that
many divorces are granted on
fimsy and insufficient grounds
simply because both parties tao
lilly agree and c0nnire.

The Maui Arson Case.

One of the most important
cases which has taken place for
sometime in these islands. was
tried before jury in Lahaina
last week. 1t was the case OF the
Republic VS.. II. II. Plemmer and
E. R.'Biven charged with arson.
The prosecution alleged that the
accused had set fire to the build
ings of the Waikiki Sugar Go.
1t will be remembered that the
residence of the manager Was
burned to the ground while the
building was unoccupied and that
several attempts had been made
to set fire to the plantation office.
The defendants are both we'll
known men on Maui. Mr.. Plem-
mer was until recently head luna
of Waikiki plantation and Mr.,
Biven was employed by the ka-
hului r. r. Co. Plemmer had a
preliminary hearing in the Dis
trict Court and was committed
for trial to the Circuit Court.
Blven was tried before Judge
Kalua in Lahaina and also COM
mitted. The prosecution failed
utterly to make out a case. The
trial lasted nearly four days dur
ing which the attorneys for the
defendants proved sufficient ali
bis and exposed the falseness OF
the statements of the witnesses
for the prosecution in such
clear manner that the jury after
II minutes absence rendered an
unanimous verdict of not guilty.
The acquitted gentlemen were the
recipients of numerous congratu-
lations from their many friends.
1t is understood that damage
suits against the government and
probably against the present man
ager of the plantation will be in
stituted at once. Messrs. Neu-
mann, Peterson, and Creighton
appeared for defendants.

The Divorce Mill.

We have in former issue
commented on the increase in
divorces during the last years and
the facility with which disso!u-
tions of the marital bonds can be
obtained in our Courts. Twelve
divorces were granted at Lahaina
during the last term. We regret
not 10 have any statistics handy
in regard to the number of mar
riages contracted during the last
six months on Maui, but we are
sure that the number OF divorces
IS distinctly ont of proportion to
the number Of marriages. Ii will
be we'll for our lawmakers to look
into this matter and we think that
here is q proper field for our
many reverends of all denomina-
tlons to labor in. Let them drop
the abstract questions of INNER
sion and salvation" and use the
influences ofthe Christian religion
to stop or at least abate system
which threatens to gain an I'm
wholesome influence in oar social
and moral life.
Divorces are undoubtedly an
evil necessity. The Catholic
Church does not admit the right
of divorce lbut when the divorce
law was passed in France thou

HAWAII.

1t has been surprising to many
people who have been dealings
with Chinese to notice the OBJ
stinaoy with Ehich the children of
the tiowery kingdom refuse to
believe in the reports from the
scene of war and the defeat of
the Chinese army and navy. They
insist that the japanese are be-
ing wiped out and they stamp
all papers printing true reports
as liars. The reason for this re-
markable stubborness is 10 be
found in the manner in which
Chinese newspapers report the
war" The Kobe Chro icle writes
on this subject:
The following report OF the
talking of Chiu-lien-cheng, trans
lated by the Mercury from the
Sin Pao, will be found amusing
by its very audacity of invention.
"On the 24th ult, the japanese
tried to cross the Yalu, and were
opposed by General l-ko-tang-a
and,the Commander in chief, who
had their forces encamped close
to the river. The japanese were
six times repulsed with heavy
loss. The Japanese troops were
constantly being reinforced while
the Chinese endured great fatigue
through being constantly engag-
ed from the oath to the evening
of the 25th. During this night,
the Japanese, taking advantage
of a fog, hoated out poutoon
bridge which was at once at
tackled with cannon, the Japan
csc again losing heavily. During
this skirmish, however, the Jap
anese managed to fix two bridges
lower down the river, and as the
Chinese were taken by surprise,
and the Japanese had brought up
better guns, the crossing was fin
ally effected. The loss of life
was fairly even on both sides,
but the Chinese. not feeling able
to resist longer, retreated to
Chia lien : cheng Here, thew
had but brief resting time, as
the Japanese came up at once
and began to lombard the city
and Notifications, so that another
retreat was made to Feng Hwang-
cheng. The Tientsin authorities
have been advised by Sung Ching
that be has very few guns and
ammunition. and that he is not
strong enough to protect his pre-
sent position, and therefore asks
to be allowed to retreat to No
Tien-ling. The Provincial Judge |
OF Chilli has asked for reinforce |
ments to be sent, and saws that |
if Feng Hwang : cheng be lost, |
Lien Yang and Feng Tlen would |
be In great danger. Upon this |
being wired to the throne, sc. 900 |

to reinforce the beleaguered |

stating that after the retreat to

mander-in-chief ordered several

explosion of the mines lost about +

The Government oraan this

asinine features prevail In his
composition, perhaps a nosebag
would be the more appropriate
implement of suppression. We
make this suggestion purely in
the interest of our friends, the
enemy. as this latest fit of hys-
terice cannot, but seriously COM
promise the government with
foreign powers, should the citi-
zens OF any of the latter, become
victims of the frenzy which the
organ seeks to stir up III our
midst. The organs admission,
that the situation has become
'intolerable," is perhaps true, IN
so far as the weak and super
sensitive nerves of the domino
ting clique are concerned. 1t Is
doubtless equally true, as alleged
by the organ, that there Is no
quiet, no peace, no sense OF Safe

we doubt not that the whole
crowd of them are about ex-
hausted, mentally and physically
with the strain of waiting for the
shock that does not come. But.
we cannot spare them our sym
pathy, for they do not deserve it.
We can, but recommend them
either to practice furtherpatience,
(for who knows, but, that the
shock may even now be en-
youte) or to cleanse their guilty
consciences by recanting their
political errors. Then they may
be able to sleep o'nights,-a
luxury which they are now denied.

of these Islands might learn a
valuable lesson from that other
variety of rats, who know enough

But, in the meantime, we com
mend the organs effort to incite
the mob to acts of violence, to the
attention of the foreign diplomats
resident here. Even though. the
Government supporters be insane
with fright, yet such insanity can
hardly excuse the violence to
which the Government organ is
urging them on.

A Funny Dream.
EDITOR HoLoMUA:

4 friend Of ours had peculiar
dream, few nights ago which
perhaps might be prophetic, and
is sufficiently amusing repeating
to larger audience.
1t was in Little Ljlliput' a
tabled place often heard OFT and
well known to our readers. Peace
and quiet reigned again after
long term of anarchy and misrule
caused by the selfish ambitions
of mean men. The agglomeration
of hypocrites, rascals, towards
thugs and thieves, who had held
their brief piraticai revel and
spoliation of the little State, had
all been assisted to emigrate in
government ship to a distant ISL
and called Milo. There they
lived under the autocratlc eye of
an accomplished French gen
tlemau from New Caledonia whom
the State had secured for that
purpose, The leader of men"

all their wills in his favor. He

ridiculous war ON wild goats.

Hlr THE NAL on THE HEAD.
How wEs-Congressman RsnDey Rid Himself
OF IA Troubicsam- BedfeIIow.

How Es-Congressman RanDey Rid Hiinseif
OF Troublesome BedfeIIow.
Ex-Congressman A. A. Rannes of
with the. leadership of the Boston
bar, gave evidence very early in life
of the strength of purpose which has
characterized his subsequent career.
AS boy it was decreed by his stern
old father that heand an elder broth.
er should occupy the same bedroom
and share the same bed. The future
congressman disliked this arrange
ment exceedingly, for the substantial
reason that his brother possessed
constitutional tendency to kick tue
person with whom he CHANGED to be
sleeping out of bed On cold winter
nights young Ranney would awaken
shivering. to find that his restless
bedfellow had acquired in the course
of an erratic slumber all the bed
clothes and was wrapped up III them
like an Indian papoose. The boy
bore this infiiction uncomplainingly
for many weeks Never a word said
he in the family circle of the kicks he
was obliged to submit TO, or the cold
baths of freezing temperature which
reused him so often from pleasant
dreams
One night, shortly after 12 strokes
had rung from the deep toned bell in
the tower of the Town hall. the
household was awakened by loud
hammering, which seemed to pro
ceed from an upper room. Father
Ranney hurriedly donned his trousers
and taking a good, stout club for pro,
lection stole up stairs to take the
thief unawares. The hammering
grew louder as he approached the
room occupied by his sons He crept
softly To the door and listened. Ban
went the hammer again and ye,
again, and with each stroke heavy
nail seemed TO have been driven fur
ther home.
Ranney pere waited no longer, but
threw the door wide open. A strange
spectacle confronted him. His elder
son lay fast asleep and snoring ON one
side of the bed On the opposite side
the future congressman was kneeling
on the floor. busily engaged in nail
ing the bedclothing to the sideboar1
Of the couch.
What are you doing therei" roar.
ed the irate father.
Why" replied this extraordinary
boy calmly, Il was just fixing these
bedclothes so that he couldn't kick
'em off. as he has been doing for the
last six weeks"
Then there was a scene, but the boy
did not lose his temper, although he
complied with his fathers command
to remove the nails he had driven
into the bed. But it is worth noting
that shortly afterward he was given
q bed to himself. New York Herald
