ticks. and she should prove
willing then the guardian ac-
cording to the decision of Frear
d Bickerton would nc; as pre-
eedent and such a marriage
be contracted.
Tie dissenting opinion of
Judge Brunson is very clever
paper. We take pleasure in
quoting his finishing words which
read as follows:
The question of policy in this
or any other given case. is one
for the Legislature and not for
the Court. Questions Of expedi-
ency are addressed to the Execu-
tive, policy to the Legislative,
and the law TO the Judicial.
Each is declared to be a separate
and independent branch of the
Government, and neither should
trench upon or exercise the
powers of the other.
There is one point in Judge
Brunson opinion in which no
modern jurist or any intelligent
layman can concern. He claims
that the demurrer interposed by
the defedant must be held to
admit all the allegations Of the
bill, including the adultery
charged. and that, it is conceded,
constitutes good and sufficient
ground for divorce.
This is a fictitious plea at one
time frequently supported by
Courts in America. 1t would
virtually mean, if supported, that
the editor of this paper, in a
recent libel suit, plead guilty,
because he entered demurrer
against the charge as preferred.
We believe that Judge Brunson
whose reputation as a learned
jurist is well-known will hardly
hold that the theory established
in his decision is sound. The
merit of a case can never be
settled or anticipated by the
proposition of a demurrer. That's
good law.
Both opinions are worth read
ing. The one backed by the
majority shows that policy
rules our Courts, the one signed
by Brunson proves, that there is
one man at least who knows and
espouses LAW.

Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1894-08-04
Il" PER GUARDIAN

The decision in the McGrew
divorce case has finally been
published, and the opinions Of
the judges are before the public.
Messrs. Bickerton and Frear
render a decision in which the
divorce per guardian is author
lied. Mr.. Brunson sitting in the
place of A. f. Judd gives a dis.
senting decision
We have in former issues made
several references to this case,
and our criticism has been very
adverse to the majority of the
court
A study of their decision con-
firms MS in the stand which we
have taken, and illustrates plain
ly the lack Of judgment, of good
law, and of justice which prompt
ed the majority of the court in
deciding as they did.
The DECISIONS are printed in the
Advertiser, and we encourage
professional and layman in read
ing through the evaporations of
the Frear-B iekerton combina-
ton and the dissenting opinion
of MIR. Brunson.
1t is not for us to critizise the
decision of the learned judges,
but the points raised by the ma
lority of them are so outrageous
ly absurd as to make them
deserving of comment.
The two gentlemtn who control
the Supreme Court of the Hawai-.
ian Islands do not substantiate
their decision by a single quota
ton from any authority. They
simply admit that while the
law in Mr., Brunson's decision
is good, the policy" of the day
demands them to take different
view.
In advocating the right of a
guardian the two learned judges
state that "the guardian is APP
pointed for the benefit of the
ward, and if it appears for the
wards benefit to have divorce,
the guardian should be allowed
to bring the proper proceedings.
since the ward himself cannot do
so. This is the business of the
guardian"
II that theory is good may we
ask the learned judges to
tell us if there are any reasons,
why non oompos nasntis should
not be able TO contract a mar
riage per guardianl Let US i'm
agine that a son of one of the
learned judges should prove him
self an idiot (which would be |
impossible. and to which sugges-
ton we say God forbid"l. and |
we were appointed his guardian
(Which God also forbid.) And
within our honest idea it would
be found for the benefit of our
ward to contract marriage. say

THE TRUE SITUATION.

The Advertiser tries to make cap
ital out a letter which appeared
in Mr.. Bush's paper and which, it
was stated, emanated from John
Cummins. According to the Ka
Leo, Mr.. Cummins wrote that the
restoration of the monarchy by
the United States was assured.
and the Advertiser has the cheek
to insinuate that the HoLoMUA bad
Joined the credulous followers of
Bush in the preposterous idea.
If the Advertiser would take the
trouble to read the HoLoMUA it
could not be in doubt that We
consider the expedition of Wide
mann, Parker & Co., as a failure
and that the only result to be
derived from their journey will
probably be direct answer that
the U. S. government cannot
overturn things here by force.
We admit that something is to
be gained by arriving at an un-
conditional answer at that time
but we certainly do not hold out
any hopes to the Bush faction as
far as restoration by Cleveland"
is concerned.
In yesterdays issue we gave
our reasons why the United States
government cannot recognize the
present regime in Hawaii.
The non recognition will in our
mind, enforce the Dole administra
tios to ablite because this country
cannot go on without treaties and
favorable consideration from our
great and good neighbour. OF
course Mr.. Dole might do the
pirate-act and hang on to his pre-
sent power at all hazards and by
his mercensry soldiers. He might
tax the people or even role them
for the purpose of filling his trea-
sury. But such tactics would not
last very long.
Our policy has not been chang
ed materially. If we had seen
some willingness on the part of
the government to act decently
towards a fair and loyal opposi-
ton We might have followed out
our first principle and tried
through political measures to
Dust the men in power. When
we found our letters of denization
and met a refusal to
become a citizen and a voter in
country in which We have become
iomesticsted and gained all thu
rights OF a citizen. then we saw that
sincerity and honesty was not

The Old Story.

We have often alluded in
strong terms to the facility with
which the "400"in Honolulu, are
induced to open their doors and
accept every blk. scoundrel and
non-descript, who arrives on this
beach.
When such animals are clothed
in the naval uniform of the United
States, he possesses. of conrse. a
passport which de j,tre carries
him into the sacred portals OF
Honolulu society (save the
mark.
Lieutenant Filette, a pro-
nounced blackguard, has now
been cashiered from the navy. We
mentioned his trial by court NATAL

with pleasure, forget his career

cepted by Rex

sometime learn a lesson, or, will
its members continue to be as
they now are, suckers and the
legitimate prey of every ad-

lowing item explains the finishing

are not the only things to which
this applies, we can make it fiji
stoves and change eggs into
dollars and make it read-Invest
your coin in Pansy Stove-and
the stove will watch itself. We
have been watching these stoves
for the past five years, and find
them the best iron stove sold in
this market for the money,
Where else than at our store can
you get stove that will do every
thing that a $50 stove will do and
get it for SIS! Echo answers,
the place isn't built We have
sold hundreds of these stoves in
Honolulu, and never had COM
plant. Two weeks ago, We sold
one to a gentleman on Hawaii,
and yesterday he ordered another
for a friend. The stove sells
itself through its fuel saving
qualities, and because, it is a
good baker. You can get other
styles of stoves if you are not
particular as to the quantity
of fuel you burn or how your
food is cooked. There's no dys-
pepsia in meals prepared on a
PANSY.
We received last week lot of
wire clothes-lines that hold
washed clothes without using
pins. 1t is sort of double wire
arrangement and the pieces are
held in between; the harder the
wind blows the tighter the pieces
are held to the line. There is
absolutely no danger of the
clothing being torn as there is
nothing sharp about the line.
While the cost is trife greater
than rope, this new style will
last so much longer that it is
economical to buy the pinless
line.
The CLAUSS is one of the
new tangled saw-edge knives that
cuts warm bread witho leaving
it heavy and iced cake without
making crumbs There are two or
three different makes of these
knives, all on the same principle
and each one pronounced the
best on earth by the manufac-
turers. We selected the Clauss,
which we believe as disinterest-
ed spectator to be better than it's
neighbors. You never had any
thing in your life that give as
much satisfaction for a dollar. II
you were buying the other sort
you would get only one.
The favorite sewing machine
in any community is the one that
does the most for the least money
and which runs the easiest. In
the "Wertheiln" you have a
machine that sews three distinct
stitches-The Lock, Chain and
Embroidery and runs easier than
any other machine, and you pay
twenty dollars less for it. Econ
omy stands boldly every side
when you buy a Wertheim. In
tucking the chain stitch is pre-
ferable, but in other kinds of
work. the lock stitch is the best.
If you buy a machine that sews
the lock, unless it is Wertheim,
it won't sew a chain stitch. |
There's no particular saving in
buying a machine with but one
stitch. the Wertheim does three
and saves you lots of trouble and !
work.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The democrats will find it necessary to put forward all their strength to elect theIr ward tickets this year. Their oppo- nents have nominated a strong ticket, but it is not by any means strong enough to win at the polls if the democrats come to the polls like men and vote as a unit for the caucus nominees. Apart from the in- terest of the whole city. the third ward itself has good reason to mske a deter mined fight to win a full representation in the council. There are several streets and thoroughfares in the ward which have not received the attention they deserved from the court of common council. This is due to the fact that there were not enough present to call attention to these matters and keep after them until some thing had been done in the premises. An active alderman. backed by full repre- sentation of councilmen. which the ward can have if the voters wish to call at the polls on election day. IS sure to accom- plish much towards bringing about a rem edy for the grievances which many of the residents have been complaining of for years without the slightest sign Of redress. For years the residents of South Fifth street have been looking for an i1gress and egress to there homes, but the only thing that has been done in the matter is to tell them to wait. They will wait, until they send a full delegation of democrats tc the court of common council who will see that this and other cases of the kind are kept constantly before the people.

THE BOSTON STRIKE.
Over Five Thousand CIothInI Makers Are
 Out and VIII Probably Win.

BosroN, Sept. 2i. - The ready made clothing industry of thi, city is complete ly paralyzed by the strike of the opera lives
 A committee from tho United Garment Workers union, acting upon instructions from the Clothing Trades District council No. 2, commenced the war by calling out every operative, prcssman and bastcr em- ployed in the 250 shops here. Fully 5, 500 clothing workers joined the strike.
 The issue of the strike is now clearly defined as being an enduavor to secure tho abolition of the Jumping and sweating 2 system and the adoption of tho week wage system and tho nine hour day.
 Although the contractors favor tho de- mands of the operatives, they claim that, us the wholesale dealers decline to grant anything, their hands are tied
 Both contractors and manufacturers aro surprised at the completeness Of the strike. It was expected by the trades council that in somo shops few operatives would re- fuse to come out. but the doubtful ones werr among the first to leave. and it Is confidently asserted that not n contractor within n circuit of five miles can obtain an operator
 A number of contractors had confer ences with tho committee of employees and afterward the contractors held a meet
 
 an ofTort should hn made to induce tho manufacturers to iucrOase their prices, and a committee was appointed to draw q bill of prices in conformity with the de- mands of the employees and to present the same today.
 The strikers held monster mass meet ing in Wells Memorial hall, and it was l the sentiment of the meeting that no one should return to work under tho old con- ! ditiuns.
 Tho Clothing Trades council drew up agreements for the signatures of individ- unl contractors who have pledged thcm- selves to accedc to the demands of the T employees. Il. Il who will also give bonds that they will abide ny tho ngrecmont The general consensus of opinion Is that | the operatives have struck just at the right time, and the manufacturers will have to increase their prices fully 10 per l cent
