Tie discussion Of this subject is
generally looked upon as back num-
Der in these days. The Register re.
ceived a new book few days ago,
which, it seems, portrays in vivid
colors all tho hideous deformities Of
the law, and tho editor thinks it is
dreadful thing to have in civilized
community. It thinks the lien law is
a yoke of bondage on all farmers, and
that it compels them to go and give
tho merchant and tho landlords lien
and then forbids them to trade with
any but tho lionee, and is thus a gen.
eral curse to the community.
Well, tho rcformcrs have had four
years in which to repeal the lien law
and they have not done SO. This
should satisfy the Register that there
is some merit in the law. It can hurt
mono but those who uso it, and not
near fifty per cent. of tho farmers
use it. Besides, it is not compulsory
in but one of its provisions. It com
pcls the debtor to pay if ho gives Il
lien to secure the debt. 1t docs not
prevent him, as the Register says,
from trading where he likes, but pro-
vides him with one place where lie
con trade. Men who can possibly
get on without it never avail them
selves of its advantages or incur its
disadvantages.
Tho author, who wrote tho bool,
which tho Register commonds &c
highly, either did not understand tho
subject, or purposely took one.sidcd
view of it. Many merchants and
many tenants have no use for the lien
law whatever. So far as we have been
able to judge, it is only used by those
WOO have nothing else that they can
use.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1894.
Enforce tho Lnrv.

J. Henry Bowen and Ed. Young,
colored, two boys about 13 years old,
were convicted last week of going into
n melon patch which did not belong
to them, and sentenced to Is days in
jail.
Those who like to have melon
patches Of their own should advertise
this just sentence of the law. Boys
generally take great liberty with
melon patches in tempting tho law.
They thus put themselves at the mercy
of tho owner, or of any one else who
happens to know or find out they
made the raid.
1t is often attempted to make q
joke of the offcnsc; but to take melons
from q patch without the permission
or knowledge of the owner, is just as
much stealing os it would DO to filch
quarters and dimes from his pocket
book while he sleeps.
The expense to the county Of feed,
ing those boys in Jail is money well
spent, and no such crime should evel
be overlooked or condoncd on account
of saving money to The county. It is
the wrong way to try to save.
Allowing one known criminal to &c
unpunished, is not only encouraging
but inviting transgrcssion. Parent.
who do not take the small pains to in
struct their children about tho rights
OF property, deserve the humiliation
OF seeing them so to Jail. So let al
the boys know that it is legal, righ
and proper never TO go upon tn
lands Of another without tho permi
sion of the owner.
The town council should step dow
md view those boys and sec if
would not DO some help to their futur
to put them on the street with picl
They would thus relieve well-bohayc
people of part of their burdens.

The Journal could not reply to the
plain meaning from fair construction
of the article in THE SENTINEL on the
difficulty in getting the best men to
run for office, so it construed it into
a complaint about there being no con
scrvatives out. No idea could have
been further from the one intended
by The SENTINEL. The quiet orderly
behaviour of tho conservatives and
ants delights us Leyond expression.

DR.. Sampson Pope appeals from

in his spunk, but stop at his judgment.

So many thoughtful roformers in
Guiding DR.. Pope, endorse what TuE
SENTINEL had to say two weeks ago
about the best mon to run for Office,
that it appears unnecessary to reply
to the rambling remarks of the Jour-
nal on that subject. Not seeing its
announcement in TIE SENTINEL, its
candidacy had been overlooked. A
regular DR.. Pope primary would have
a much larger field to draw from.

Tho more one reflects upon what
will be the consequence of rcopening
of the dispensarics at this time, the
more is one forced to the conclusion
that the experiment will be attended
with considerable risk of dangerous
excitement and turmoil. Before tho
decision Of the supreme court it was
hard enough to in anywise enforce
the dispensary law, but he is q fool
who does not recognize the fact that
it will be far harder to enforce the
law than ever before. There are
thousands of people in tho State who
were opposed to the dispensary law
before the decision of the supreme
court, but they would not violate it
because they beloved it to be law
They have no longer that respect for
it, and will have no hesitation in vio-
lating it and encouraging violation of
it since they believe it is no longer
law, having been declared unconstitr-
tlonal by the supreme court. How-
ever little respect one may have for
the aforesaid decision, it is law, and
cannot be set aside by the will of any
individual, no matter what place he
occupies. If decisions arc to DO made
and unmado at that rate, no ono will
ever know what is law.
Our idea is that the whole matter
will be brought before the supreme
court of the United States in such
short Lrder that trouble will be pre-
vented. If the case is fairly presented
to that body on it's merits we have
no doubt that the decision will be in
favor Of the constitutionality Of the
dispensary law. Bat it is question
whether the dispensary law can be
brought before that tribunal fairly
and squarely on its merits. We fear
that complications will arise through
the action Of the State board of con
troll in closing the dispensarics and
the governors action in reopening
them. If it took a vote of the board
of control to close the dispensaries, it
would seem that they would have to
be reopened by n vote of that same
body. This is merely side reflection
upon the phase of this important
matter. What it is worth we cannot
say.
Another reflection is that if the
governor considered the act of 1898
constitutional, despite the decision o1
the supreme court, under his oath as
governor, he should have enforced it
for he is not vested with power tc
suspend a law ut pleasure. If he
did not consider the act of 1893 con
stitutional, his suspension of the law
was n recognition of its destruction
bp the overthrow of the act of 1892
He would have no power at a later
day to change his opinion.
The governors proclamation was {
bold coup d'etat which will depenc
for success, not upon legal authority
but upon the immense popularity O
the governor with his followers. De
velopments will be rapid after the Isl
of August, and we greatly mistake il

Good, Bad and The Aer-
motor King of Them All

The scarcity of water on Oahu
and other portions OF the group has
had depressing effect upon the
people generally. The exception is
among those who saw danger ahead
and calculated the probable loss to
crops and cattle, and who knew that
it might be averted by using an
Aermotor. 1t would be difficult to
even approximate the saving these
people have made by being up to
date in the matter of ranch machin-
cry. A year or two ago we heard of
one man who saved three thousand
dollars worth of taro the first sea-
son he used his Aermotor. On plan
tations where the geared mills are
used the saving is in two directions:
labor and increased crops.
In addition to the economy there
is in this piece OF machinery there
is the matter OF convenience to peo-
pie who use it for pumping water
for household use, for by the Aer-
motor a supply of water may be
forced to any part of the house.
The Aermotor is pioneer in the
windmill line only SO far as the con-
struction of galvanized steel wheel
are concerned; the inventor had
sixty different windmills TO improve
upon and when his model was CON-
plete it was acknowledged to be the
best up to date. Since then i'm
provements have been made, so that
the Aermotor of to-day would not
be recognized as belonging to the
parent wheel of q few years ago.
Scientific men, those who are versed
in the complicated problems re-
lating to the power OF resistance OF
various metals to the wind, men
whose lives are spent in studying
out the advantages OF bolts, cogs,
etc, and their necessity to proper
action in the times of storms or
Gains are engaged by the manufac-
tuners to formulate ideas and put
them into execution. The galssn-
lied steel Aermotor is the result of
their ability to ferret out weak
points and conceive strong ones.
Other windmills are being put on
the market every few months only
to be replaced by the everlasting
Aermotor for which the Hawaiian
Hardware Co. Is sole agent.

Another Impressive seizure BY Mrs.
Thirds in Thsosophieal Hall

Thirds IN Thsosophieal Hall
Promptly on tine sud rIssi SIMPLY
as before Mrs. THINKS op-n-d her
address by r-ading selection from
Wordsworth ordinations Of I'm
mortality which indicated the
poets belief ~ the return to iif.- 81
the soul ~ then stated that re-
incarnation was no Hew doctrine tI
a new sect. Thes.sophy has ts-echo.-d
one al lie olds-t s;steR4-sts Ui
spiritual ruih-,hs immortality OF
the soul The Sanskrit, the oldest
liieTaiur., spoke Of II; the ancient
Egyptians. the Chaldesns, the Per
-isB,. The iDdigeues OF Peru and
Ne1ico believed il. The Druids
taught II in England up TO the in
iroduciioD of Roman civilization.
Il was Bot ,iil after the 6 century
that - Incarnation was hHaliy ex-
purgaird from the doctrine of the
church, which by this srt lost til
key 10 truth. By SMILES Of life in
winter and spring, Mrs Thirds show
I'd her concept of the eternity OF
life. The living thinking being IS
born again snd again many, many
times This was illustrated from
Sir Edwin Arnold's translation Of
the Bhsgavadghita, by the casting
of OF old clothes on going to sleep
aud the putting on of new ones on
awakening. We are not born again
with the same bodies 1t is the mind
alone which re-incarnstes. The
thinking man, the essential which
comes from God, is immortal The
physical personality is not.
Ksrma is the companion doctrine
TO re-iDcarnation. II means action,
which in the Oriental idea includes
reaction. 1t is the law OF cause
and efect-the law of ethical causa-
ton. As the Bible says, whatever
a man sows that shall be reap"
Every thought is an act on the
mental plane Every feeling is an
act on the moral plane. As we go
on living, feeling, thinking, Karma
adjusts and preserves the balance in
nature. There is no chance Ia ma
ture. Every good produces good,
every sin brings its inevitable evil
consequence. That is Karma. So
for all the 100000 of years that
Theosophy teaches man has been
on the earth, each incarnation OF
the soul has gone on growing good
with good acts and being punished
for its previous evil ones. To prove
that you re-incarnat is impossi-
BILE. knowledge only comes from
personal realization. We can only
offer evidences. One OF the strong
est personal testimonies to Mrs.
Thirds was the testimony OF child
hood to its remembrance of previous
existence. This is because the child's
body is more sensitive to the higher
and inner vibrations. Mrs. Thirds
had met some adults who were sensi-
tive and remembered previous eIis-
tence. After an appeal couched in
well-chosen phraseology to the eff
fects OF the doctrines of ,e-incarna-
ton and Karma, Mrs. Thirds closed
amidst rounds of hearty applause.

ASTRONOMERS EXCITED.
They Think the People of Mars Want
to Have q Talk With Them

LONDON, Aug. 5-There is some
thing going on in Mars just now
which greatly e1eites astronomers.
So far as laymen may penetrate
these mysteries, il seems that some
shining specks, quite unlike anything
ever seen before, have been discover
ed and that the circumstances are
exceptionally favorable to the hypo-
thesis that Martians are trying to
signal us. The only other conceiv-
sble theories are that these specks
are the effects OF an aurora or OF
forest fires on gigantic scale, but
scientists appear actually to regard
these as less probable than the FIRST
explanation. The mere suggestion
OF such thing sends a thrill OF
fascinated expectancy through the
whole academic system of Europe,
and men of weight are already re
viving the old scheme and PROFOUND
ing new ones, by which an effort at
sending back an answering signal
through space may be made.
OUR OWN wIGaINS's OPINION.
Prof. Ezekiel Virgins, the Ottawa
weather prophet, concurs in the
opinion expressed in some quarters
that the bright projection in Mars,
seen by NJ. Javalle at the Nice OBJ
servatory on July q is a signsl from
the MartiSns TO the people OF the
earth. He said: There is the best
scientific evidence to prove that man
is a native Of Mars aud lived there
millions Of years before be was trans
planted to the earth, leaving the
greater part Of the human family
behind. The MArtiaus regard us as
their lost brethren and have been
especially hopeful since they saw the
electric lights in our cities. We will
be able 10 converse with them by
signals before another century
passes
at is much easier for the Martisns
to see our signals than for us TO see
theirs, for the earth appears TO them
to wax and wene like the moon, so
that they can easily see lights on
our dark hemisphere, while their
planet always has its lights side to-
wards US. Montreal lTftRess.
