A subscriber writes to the New York
Evening Post asking for light on the Trans
Vaal and Hawaii. He brackets the two
cases. and rsists that justification of
President Dole and his friends is a iustifi-
cation of Cecil Rhodes and his friends He
characterizes all of them as freebooters,
and charges that the United States
through Minister Stevens and the landing
of American marines at Honolulu, Justly
incurred the same reProacles that England
has incurred ir the conduct of Mr. Rhodes
and DR.. jameson.
This gentleman is not seeking light, but
he needs it.
Mr.. Dole 81 those who stood with him
were citizens of Hawaii, owned property,
and were CT titled to a voice in the govern
ment. They had endeavored in many ways
to bring about an improvement in affairs
The so-called thrCre and ali of its conncc-
ITEMS were thoroughly corrupt Opium
rings ard lottery rings fiourished by the
use of mel ey, and the islands, as the re-
suit of lew and degrading rule, were on
the downward road to ruin. At last. with
courage which goes with character and
desperation, Mr.. Dole and his friends re-
solved to accomplish by revolution what
could Lot otherwise be accomplished. They
organized AID overthrow the base counter

In sora of the communities that pride
themselves upon their intelligence the cor
cner does not exist. He has there ceased
to be because he is wholly out of accord
with the conditions which exist in ccnterS
of civilization at the close of the nineteenth
century: because mis- methods are ancient;
because he is generally valueIess and often
obstructive in the work of criminal in
vestigation: becaIse he is just about as
useful as a piece of municipal machinery
as a dodo would be TO a chicken-fancier.
The uselesSnesS of the c0roner's Office has
been many times made apparent in this
city. When Health officer Woodward was
coroner he realized the truth concerning
the office, and in a report to the District
Commissioners said.
Il would suggest that the office of cor
oTer be abolished and in its stead be
created the office of medical examiner,
whose duty it shall be to Investigate, from
d medical standpoint. such cases as are
now investigated by the health officer and
the coroner. Such deaths as are found
by the medical examiner to be due to other
than natural causes should be certified al
once to the chief of police for investigation
and reported to the District attorney.
Should the District attorney find. a
result of his Investigation, that The cir
cumstances require this. he should present
the case to the grand jury at once and
they should return the Indictment upon
"nlCA the accused Is tired. Much need
less expense and delay would thus lie
avoided"
The evidence in suspicious cases should
he taken by one of the police court judges:
his opinion would be more nearly sound
than any conclusion likely to be reached by
the half dozen men who generally compose
the cOroners jury. There are several resi-
dents of this city who are professional
jurymen, and who never fail to show up
whenever there is promise of an easily
earned fee. The system is altogether
wrong. The coroner and his jury belong 20

Something Strange.


1 wonder If 1t ever occurred to any of the
numerous visitors to the Capitol to think
it strange that no statue of Gen. Grant is
to be found in any of the public parks
We all know how the scheme for his New
York monument was neglected and played
with and dawdled over for years and years
and some of our foreign guests have been
inclined to be sarcastic on the subject.
When England or France or Germany de-
eide to give any of their great men a monu-
ment the thing is done with exemplary
neatness and dispatch. whether the great
man succeeded in getting enough to eat
and decent support for his family when he
was alive or not. 1t seems to them very
queer that so great man as Grant, whom
they not only know as one of the most
eminent generals in the war between
North and South America" but with
whom they are more or less familiar on
account of his tour around the world
should not have one monument, If not half
a dozen.

felt of a government, put the Queen under
guard, ard tool. affairs into their own
hands. Il was their own act, end was done
Cnassisted The effort to connect Minister
Stevens with the movement utterly failed.
1t was shown, to the satisfaction Of all but
the adherents of the deposed Queen. who
were trying to induce the United States to
overthrow the Dole government, that the
revolution was not only the work of citi
zens of the islands, but was fully justified.
The United States had no come ction with
the islands but that of a friendly nation.
1t was guaranteeing nothing to them. 1t
violated no law. Its troops were landed
only to protect American citizens and their
property.
Cecil Rhodes and his friends were not
citizens of the TransvaaL They were there
by sufferance. They owned property. and
paid the taxes that supported the govern
ment but yet we're only alters. The Beers
had refused to admit them to a share in
the government. Their cor dtion was ex
asperating to men of progress and deserts,
and we'll calculated to provoke them to ex
tremes. But, as Englis hmen, they were
called upon to remember that the Boer
government was urder the suzerainty of
the English government. and that they, of
dress wrongs suffered in the Transvaal.
Their own government was guaranteeing
the integrity of the Boer government. and
they therefore in attacking the Beers
would be attacking the Queens guarantee.
TIL 1t is the case in the TraEsvaal-so very
different from the Hawaiian case that no.
body not anxious to see Lilirokalan and
her gang restored to corrupt power would
affect to confuse the two.
But while the Beers have triumphed, and
are enjoying sympathy in their triumph.
the case is not closed. When the appeal is
taken, as the promise is that it will be
taken. from ill-advised action to another
tribuT al, progress, and culture, and char
acter, united, will win. They always do.
and should, in the end. In the providence
of the worli, no inferior race is permitted
for long to plant itself stubbornly across
the upward path of superior men. 1gno-
rance ard Cepravity have yielded to en-
hghtenment and character in Hawaii. Cru
city ard oppression will yield to freedom
and humanity in Cuba. And In The Trans
vaal, when the issue is properly defined,
the right of educated men, who own prop
erty and pay taxes, TO share in the bene-
fits of the local government will be adj
miIted. l. is not Contestab BILE upon any just
ground.
