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 lisa 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 a
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
tired and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. II 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 and
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
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. & 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. It
has been hard to get a really
serviceable and stylish lamp
for a dollar and six bits until
we found them in Pittsburgh.
They are sellin 6 rapidly and
delay means 2 tallOw candle:
they cannot last long when
people get acquainted with
their good points.

A Graceful Act.

For many years Mr.. J. W. Elston, OF
Haughton, has been the postmaster OF
that thriving town, giving always
universal satisfaction, and having the
entire confidence of the citizenship.
There is little question but that ne
could have retained the position under
Democratic or Republican admiuistra-
tons as long us he desired to retain it.
which would have been during his
natural lifetime perhaps but for little
incident which occurred recently.
Learning by the mysterious grapevine
route that Mrs. Cornell, an estlm-
able widow, would accept the position,
he quietly sent in his resignation to
the proper authorities, strongly re-
commencing therein Mrs. Cornell
name for the position, and at once be
gan circulating a petition among the
citizens of Haughton, requesting INC
postoffice department to appoint her.
This was graceful, chivalrous &C
on the part of Mr.. El5t0n, which Will
no doubt, be duly appreciated by tn
many friends of the lady.
