he wished for a moment that he might
have been able to send to his mother
and sister some of the many pretty
things he had seen through the shop
windows as he walked homeward each
evening.
He started west at a brisk walk for
he couldn't afford to ride, and it was
crisply cold. He hadn't gone far when
he noticed a small figure trotting along
by his side. He looked at it and
caught two big brown eyes glancing up
into his own.

heaps Of packages of bills counted and
done up in little paper bands. Some
of these packages We're of One-dOllar
bills and some of fiveS and some of tens;
others of twentieS and ffties and one

the back of the desk where Thomas
Tippv was at work in the bank, for he
was a teller of some sort, or under
teller, or something which entailed a
great deal of work and very little pay,

Tommy was hard at work. 1t was
the day before Christmas, and people
had been making deposits, and drawing
money, and getting drafts, and doing
all sorts Of things which they
will insist on putting off till
the last minute. He was writ
ing in an effort to close up affairs for
the day, and his arm rested as he
wrote on a package of one-hundred-dol-
lar bills when he glanced up and saw at
the little grating through which he had
to look at the public pair of big,
greedy eyes set in a very small and very
wan face The face itself barely
reached above the windOw-ledgc, and

eyes of the face were devourlng the

to do. and the owner of the face seemed
lost in contemplation of the gorgeous
sight
Then the eyes saw that Tommy was
looking at them and shifted to meet his
own. Tommy noted that they were
singularlv beautiful eyes Of brown
with long, curving lashes. He must
have been looking into them with
very kindly gaze, for they seemed TO
read in his look a friendllness that
made their owner bold

And looking in the face of him who leaned
above her there,
And kissed her cheek, and tenderly smOothed
down her golden hair,
She said: We've been so long away from

She's lonely in the home We left so many years
ago"
No other words she said. but he kissed back
the tears that came.
And whispered: IF they loved you then, they
love you still the same;
The old home must be lonely though the fire
is blazing bright
The little one shall plead for us-they'u kiss

And so it was that, while afar DER the remem-

The Wailuku Arson Case.

As stated briefly In our last
issue. Mr.. b. FL. Plemer was COM
mitted BY the District Magistrate
Of Waikiki on charge of arson.
The trial was most peculiar one.
Only one witness appeared
against the defendant. And up
on the bare word of that witness,
the learned Judge saw fit to COM
NIT Mr. Plemer. When the
prosecution rested-after pro-
ducing its witness, the attorney
for the defense Mr.. John Richard
son moved a discharge as there
was not sufficient evidence to con-
meet the defendan. with the
arson. The Judge over-ruled the
motion and without allowing the
defense to 60 on committed
the accused in most per
emptory manner. 1t is hardly
necessary to state that the judge
is an appolntee of the present
paternal government and is
known as Baldwin No. 2.
In connection herewith it is
proper to state that the &C.
count of the case which appeared
in the Advertiser. was perfectly
false, and of course prejudicial
| to Plemer. He was not dis
charged by manager Wells as
stated. He left the plantation of
his own free will. The insinua-
ton that Plemer rushed off to
Ulupalakua, at the First alarm
is equally false. His trip to that
/ place. had been contemplated for
several weeks and had been post
poned to accommodate another
resident who desired to go with
him. 1t is not difficult to see
from what source the Advertiser
receives its false report. After
the trial manager Wells, who
evidently is of a very nervous
temperament asked to have Plem-
err placed under bonds to keep
the peace towards him as if any
body would.ta Ike the trouble to hurt
a thing like Wells. When Plem
mer is tried before an intelligent
Maui jury, there can be no doubt
Of his trial resulting, in an honor
able acquittal.

ONE RIGHT OBTAINED.

Mr.. H. n. Castle. the gallant
defender of woman's rights, must
be elated by learning that the
government at last has placed
women on an equality with the
bad, bad men. To "swear" has
heretofore been a privilege of
the sterner sex. Mr.. W. r. Cas-
tie of the Board of Education has
issued the following circular
letter that speaks for itself:

High Time.

London. July Tth. A bill has
been introduced into the House
of Lords by Lord Salisbury to
deal with the increasing evil of
pauper and criminal immigration
from the continent. The measure.
Lord Salisbury explained, was
aimed especially at criminals and
those suffering from infe ctious
disease. It provides that such
persons shall not be allowed to
land in England.
Lord Roseberry condemned the
bin on the ground that it i'm
peached England as The harborer
OF foreign assassins-
The bill was. however. read a
first time.

Judicial Vacations, Decisions etc.
FER GUARDIAN.

The members of our frightfully
over-worked and under-paid, Gas
well as under-appreciated)
Supreme Court, are on what they
are pleased to call their several
vacations. The latter word is
supposed to be used as a means
of Distinguishing between their
presence in, and their absence
from Honolulu.
We congratulate the country
upon the recurrence of this
vacation" and wish it might
extend throughout the twelve
months of each year. We might
then reasonably hope they would
not often bring their gigantic
intellects in unison to bear upon
the exposition of the alleged law.
as affecting our fellow citizens.
The advantage OF their Honors
taking an extended rest from So
called judicial labors, will be ap-
parent to sll who have read their
recent decisions.
But one Of those decisions sug-
gests the idea that their Honors
might continue their little junkets
indefinitely, especially as their
salaries are running on
at the rate of FIVE to six
tn ousands per year during
their absence. If any judicial
functions are required of them in
the meantime. why not act, hear
and decide eases per Guardian ?
Or. if this suggestion sounds q
little crude, why not stay at
home attend to their duties, and
take their holidays and do their
junketing per Guardian p 1t
may be thought that legal decis-
ions rendered per Guardian
might be a little Off color. and
not up to the usual standard of
conspicuous and flaming ability
which has ever distinguished our
Supreme Court. But a perusal
Of some Of the later decisions

A REMARKABLE PETITION.

Several Kohals correspondents
comment severely on petition
which has been circulated by Mr..
E. p. Low, in which he prays the
government TO reduce the rent of
certain land known as Puuwaawaa
of which the petitioner holds the
lease. The petition which has
received several signatures was
presented TO the councils
last week, and referred to the
Judiciary Committee of which
Mr.. Cecil Brown was the chair
man. The lands in question was
the subject of some booming
articles in the Star at the time of
the sale of the lease. We tried
then to cool the remarkable
ardor of the Star by stating what
the land really is. The auction
came off and the lease was bought
by Mr.. Cecil Brown acting for
Messrs. Low and Hind for an
annual rental of S1210. Mr..
Paul Jarret of Waimea bid as
high as $1,000. A lease sold in
such a manner should not be
subject to reduction in rent. If
the owner of the lease cannot
fulfill the conditions accepted by
him at the time of sale, he should
be made to drop it and give his
opponent show. Why should
the government grant reduction
when it had another offer at
nearly the figure paid by Mr..
Low7 Among the conditions
were that the forest on the land
shall be preserved, and the lease
holder shall e1pend $4,000 in
three years on improvements. We
have yet to learn if these condi
tions are being complied with.
If the petition is granted it will
be another example of nepotism
and iavoritism, in which this al
legged virtuous government indul-
ges towards political friends
and some-kind -of-relations.

A Great Feat.

John Hullett, one Of the sailors
of 81. NJ. S. Curacao performed a
feat Of endurance near the Vaisi-
gano bridge last Wednesday
which is deserving of mention.
He had backed himself to, within
an hour and ten minutes, COM

mile. walk the same distance, 60

placed one yard apart. row one

Much interest was manifested in
the event, and a lot of betting
amongst the ships crew resulted.
Hullett was successful in accom-
plishing the task and was loudly
cheered upon its completion.

Virtually DISTINGUISHED.

A correspondent icquIres how
he can become qualified to vote
for representatives. Under the
new constitution. be can't qualify
at all. To vote, it is necessary
to be a citizen, a denizen, or,
holder Of a special certificate. As
our correspondent has not served
the p G he cannot get a certif-
cate. As he does not belong to
the inner circle OF the family
compact. be will not get letters
of denization, and the only
chance for him is to become a
citizen, and that he cannot do.
He was not natural;zed previous
to January, 1898, and the natural
ization law is fixed so beautifully
that no d - alien can become
a citizen Of Hawaii According
10 Article Is Of the so-called con-
stitution naturalization of
aliens shall be exclusively within
the jurisdiction of the Justices Of
the Supreme Court. The pro-
cedure shall be such a may be
provided by law. As no law
has been passed, there is no pro-
cedure. Section ) of the same
article says, that "he shall be
a citizen or subject Of a country
having express treaty stipulations
with the Republic of Hawaii
concerning naturalization No
country has any treaty yet with
the Republic of Hawaii" as
the said republic hasn't been
recognized and no express stipula-
tions concerning naturalization.
For these reasons alone our friend
will see how impossible it is for
him to become citizen, and as
his political sympathies are
against the government, he would
under all circumstances be barred
by Section 6, which says, that he
shall be of good moral character.
AS it has been amply proven that
in the eyes of the Supreme Court
the moral character is awfully
bad of all and everybody oppos-
ed to the government it will be
seen how fruitless it will
be for anybody to. present
himself before the triumvirate
which holds the civil rights of
all citizens in their hands.

EDITOR HoLoMUA:
Living out side the capital, the
residents of Hamakua deserve the
above title, in illustration of
which society at Paauilo dubbed
themselves Literary" and had
the audacity to attompt pro-
duction of the Merchant of

The members, seated, simply
read it, and, oh shade of Demos
themes, what an exhibition it was.
With one exception. none of the
members could read half as we'll
as a school boy of ten years of
age. Your morning contemporary
then has a glowing report from
its correspondent, enough to make
Honolulu people smile. and of
course admits no criticism in its
