THE GERMAN WAY.

While the matter of improving
the jury system is under discus
sion, it may be well to ascertain its
working in other countries. An
American lawyer, who recently
visited Germany on business con-
nected with his profession, states
in the Washington Star that while
there he was much interested in
its jury system. at is impossi-
ble," he said, ''for a German jury
to be hung as is so often the case
with similar bodies in this country.
Under our plan one Ignorant or
perverse man can nullify the efforts
of eleven intelligent and upright
citizens if he wishes to do so. In
King Williams domain, however,
such thing is impossible. Take,
for instance, a criminal case IN a
German court. If, after consulta-
ton, the jury stands six to six for
and against the prisoner he is &C.
quilted. If seven jurymen believe
him guilty and five are equally
sure of his innocence his fate is de-
cided by the judge who has pre-
sided over the case. If, however,
eight of the jury decide that the
accused is guilty it amounts to a
conviction. 1t is a simple and fair
solution of the jury problem, and
something of the same sort is badly
needed in the United States"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-08-24
A WAY TO RELIEVE HARD TIMES.

Owing to the dizziness of bust.
ness many honest and deserving
men are out Of employment. With
a view to furnishing them work, il
might be well for the Advisory
Council to act, at the present time,
in the matter of the steam and
electric railway franchises. II
these franchises should be granted
it would create a considerable de-
mand for labor. An electric rail
way plant would involve, we are
informed, the expenditure within
two years, of about $4,000 for
labor alone. This sum would re-
, lieve the distressing cry for work.
When in running order, the sys-
tenn would require, we are told, the
services of about one hundred and
twenty men, at comparatively
high rates ofwages, and the monthly
disbursement would place consid-
cradle money in circulation.
1t is certainly not desirable that
the Advisory Council should legis-
late on subjects which can be dealt
with satisfactorily by legislature
chosen by the people. Our cir
cumstances are, however, peculiar.
and we must be governed by the
wisdom of the hour. If there
should be any popular objection
raised, or if the franchise proposed
should excite any wide differences
of opinion, the matter would then
be properly left to the directly
chosen representatives of the people.
The present Advisory Council
is especially fitted to deal with
any local matters affecting this
city. The lower house of the COM
ing Legislature may, possibly, if
the natives finally register, be
largely in the control of the native
members, who can hardly be
counted on as especially interested
in any public improvements. 1t
would be misfortune to trife
with such important matters as
the water supply and quick transit
for this city.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-08-24

Mr.. BUSH wishes the native Ha-
waiians to start a cooperative
store which shall sell goods only to
natives and to their faithful adher-
ents among the haoles. The OBJ
ject is to prevent the further de-
spelling of the Hawaiians by the
VIGOROUSLY depraved missionaries.
The object of this proposed mer-
camille venture is PROFESSIONALLY
laudable, but it is to be feared that
it will hardly pay, if conducted on
the lines indicated. Would it not
be better to sell goods for cash to
all who called, and then use the
money thus supplied by the evil
minded foreigners in restoring the
Queen? Let Mr.. Bush himself be
placed at the head of the enter
prise. He has not had any fun
since he left Samoa.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-08-24
A GOOD MAN NEEDED.

1t is important that the greatest
care be taken in the selection of a
man to fill the post of Superintend-
ent of the Insane Asylum. The po-
sition requires intelligence and re-
liability, and above all man of
humane and kindly feeling. The
power over others intrusted to
the managers Of Prisons and
Insane hsylums is immense,
and is capable of immense
abuse. Both can be harsh,
tyrannical and arbitrary, without
much danger of interference or de-
lection. One does not need to
have stepped oneself in Charles
Reade's novels to have a keen
sense of these facts.
There is no more striking evil
dence of the humanitarian spirit of
the Nineteenth Century than the
great reforms which it has achieved
in the management Of Insane Asy-
lums and Prisons. The Iunatic
used to be treated like the criminal,
and criminals were treated as
though there were no hope of their
reformation and no degrees in the
moral turpitude of their crimes.
Modern psychology has taught the
falsity ofsuch ideas, and the modern
conscience rejects them with hor-
ror. In prisons of the best sort
nowadays the interest of the pris-
oner is not totally suppressed in
the supposed interest of society.
His own welfare is constantly kept
in view. In insane asylums of the
same sort it is remembered that
the lunatic is sick and unfor-
tunate, and he is pitied and cared
for as such.
All prisons and asylums, how
ever, are not of the best sort.
There are still wrongs to be reme-
died, and abuses to be corrected.
Fortunately the local insane asy-
lum has witnessed a radical i'm
provement in the past few years.
The physician in charge is kind
hearted as well as a competent |
man, and with a thoroughly |
humane superintendent, there is
no reason why the work of i'm
should not continue.

A Lamp Exploded.

Presence of mind on the part OF
the barkeeper, and prompt assist
ance rendered by several outsiders,
prevented what might have been a
serious fire last night. The lamps
had been lit in the room over the
Pacific Saloon and strong gust of
wind caused one of the lamps to
explode. The blaze was seen from
the opposite side of Nuuanu street
and an alarm was turned in. In
the meantime the barkeeper and
others rushed upstairs and smoth-
cred the flames with a billiard
table cover. The damage done
will not exceed $50.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR While reading my
paper of a recent date, l happened
on racy letter from your Kohala
correspondent, in which he informs
the public myself included), that
''Mr. H. Kempster will shortly as
sumo the duties of head luna on
Halawa plantation"
The above statement is not true
and take this opportunity of re-
futing it. The manager of the
above plantation does not court Sc
crecy in connection with plantation
matters. However, when the Ko-
hala correspondent has anything to
say about our doings, we shall ex-
pect him to state facts, and not
absurd or hearsay rumors.
In order to be guide to our am
bilious correspondent whoever he
may be, let me suggest to him that
he keep the following lines before
him when he rushes into print:
If wisdom's ways you wisely seek,
Two things observe with care:
OF whom you speak, to whom you
speak,
And how, and when, and where.
I. S. w.
Kohala, Hawaii, Aug. 20, '94.

A FALSE PROPHET.

Lord Macaulay's famous pre-
diction regarding the future of the
United States shows that it is as
difficult to forecast the fate of ma
tons as of individuals. He thought
that the Constitution was call sail
and no anchor" and that the
social war, the conflict between
rich and poor, would be a conse-
quence of the form of government
itself. Either military oligarchy
or spoliation of the rich by the
poor would be the inevitable result.
1t will be generally admitted
nowadays that these opinions and
phrophecies show an almost extra
ordinary faulty. The evils pre-
dicted have not come about.
Wealth is protected by the same
sort of laws in the United States as
it is elsewhere. There is no sign of
the growth of any oligarchy. The
Constitution, instead of being all
sail, is all anchor. No one outside
of Russia would criticize it for
being too radical, but many
thoughtful persons either praise or
regret its conservatism. The Eng
fish Constitution, on the other
hand, with its restless and omnipo-
tent House of Commons, is travel
ling fast to very radical goal.
What a want of foresight, more
over, does Lord Macaulay display
as to the political development in
his own country. Although it is
only thirty-five years since his
death, England has already reached
that phase of popular government
in which he saw certain ruin.
The great Wing historian had no
comprehension, apparently, of the
true meaning of democracy-no
vision of its inevitableness. In
this be was simply the exponent of
the pseudo liberalism of his party,
a party which took its tone from
squires and landholders,
and which loathed the Radical.

A TELEGRAM from Washington,
bearing date of August 9th, states
that President Cleveland has recog-
nized the Hawaiian Republic.
There does not seem to be any rea-
son to doubt the substantial cor
rectness of this intelligence. The
war between China and Japan con-
tinues, but no general engagement
seems to have been fought, either
by land or sea.

Kenneth Bazemore had the good
fortune to receive a small bottle OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy when three mem
bers of his family were sick with
dysentery. This one small bottle
cured them all and he had some left
which he gave to Geo. w. Baker, a
prominent merchant of the place,
Lewiston. n. G., and it cured him of
the same complaint. When troubled
with dysentery, diarrhoea, collie or
cholera morbus, give this remedy a
trial and you will be more than
pleased with the result. The praise
that naturally follows its introduc-
ton and use has made it very popular.

THE WORK BEGINS.

1t is gratifying to find that the
Government intends to begin al
once to push bodybuilding on the
island of Hawaii. The gang Of
prisoners will be strengthened by
additions from Oahu, and will there
be divided into two gangs, one OF
which will begin work on the road
from Papaikou to Hakalau, while
the other will break ground on the
long-promised Puma road, begin
ming from the point of its junction
with the Volcano road. The work
of repairing the Peter Lee road,
which runs from the volcano to
Punaluu, will also be entered upon
Immediately, and a mile which
has never been finished will be
completed. In Kona, the long
proposed carriage road from Kailua
to the upper road will be begun.
All of this work will be upon roads
which are part of the system of
highways to be constructed all
around the island.
The Government is to be con-
graduated upon the energy with
which it is taking up this work.
The policy of doing something in
the several districts at once, in
stead of first in one and then in
another, we believe to be a
sound one. The case would
doubtless be otherwise if no part of
contemplated road could be
made useful until the whole were
completed. As a matter of fact
every new half mile of good road
will be keenly appreciated in Kona
and in the Hilo district.
As much money will be devoted
to these undertakings as can be
spared from the loan fund. The
Ministers rightly feel that the
pumping plant for the Honolulu
Water Works takes precedence in
point of Importance of any other
public work. Had it not been for |
the faithful little pump at Makiki |
which has been at work day and |
night, this years water famine
would have been. an extremely |
serious affair. In fact the town
would have been on its back, gasp
ing for thirst. The first care of
the administration will therefore
be to provide money enough for
he proposed pumping plant, after
which the roads will get the rest.
The building of these roads is a
irst step in that broad way of pro-
yress which Hawaii is entering,
ind which will lead to a pros
,erity resting on better founda-
ions than the old.
