Twenty.Six of them Caught al

One of the largest gambling raids
in some time was made by a posse
of police Sunday morning at Will
cox's poi factory, Kalihi.
Acting upon information received
by informers, squad of seven DO
licemen, together with Detective
Kappa and assistants, went in a
bus to the place named.
Alighting quickly, they made a
run for the suspected building and,
after surrounding it, proceeded to
awaken the occupants.
Suddenly there appeared, scam
pering in all directions, several
badly-frightened Mongolians. But
they went so far and no farther.
The police had done their prelimin-
airy work well and were ready to
receive the Chinese with open arms.
Windows were of no avail, and
those who made frantic efforts at
through them had all
their trouble for nothing.
Entering the room, the police
found full outfit of all the articles
necessary for the game of fan-tan.

room, the result of the scare re-

police.
The Cinnamon were marched to

names were entered on the book it
was found there. were twenty-six of

COPYRIGHT.

There is a copyright law her
which is intended to protect thu
author of "any map, book, chart
musical composition, print, cut
engraving, photograph, painting
drawing or statue, or the author o.
any model or design intended te
be perfected and completed as g
work of the fine arts" All coun-
tries have come to an agreement
that the work of mems brains OF
the product of their mental
industry should be protected
as much as possible, for a certain
term of years. With us it is for
twenty years. There is a good deal
of brain work here, for so small a
place, and persons who have done
valuable literary work should be
careful to protect themselves. 1t
was not SO long ago that certain
publication undertook the republic
cation of Professor Alexander's
" History of the Hawaiian People"
piece meal. The whole work would
have been re-published in mangled
form by this time unless the pro-
prietors had stepped in and pointed
out that their copyright was being
infringed.
Newspaper work is the legitimate
plumber of the literary pirate, and
many papers now copyright their
articles. Copyright does not pre-
vent the use of extracts from books
and articles. 1t does prevent any.
one from taking bodily full ar
ticle and appropriating it as his
own. 1t is quite probable that the
enforcement of the right here would
be OF advantage. 1t is manifestly
unfair that the literary labor of
any man should be filched from
him without a word of comment or
objection. We believe that a case
under the copyright law will shortly
appear upon our law calendar.
This will be the second in our legal
annals.

In our notice of the Presidents
message we quoted his remarks up
on the German discrimination
against the United States Insur-
ance Companies. The Presidents
message has borne fruit from the
State of Missouri. Commissioner
Waddel has written to the manager
of Prussian National Insurance
Company" that unless the German
Government changed its policy, be
would, after February LIST, refuse
to renew the licenses of German
companies in Missouri. This shows,
that two can play at the same
game. Whether the game is worth
the candle is what each player
must decide. 1t brings the prin-
ciple of free trade and fair trade to
almost an issue. Other states of
the Union do not view the action
of Missouri with satisfaction.

"How DEEP is the sea?" and
some one replied, ooh anything to
a thousand miles or So" and then
the crowd laughed. But she might
not be wrong after all-for the
British surveying vessel Penguin
seems to have struck bottomless
hole off the coast of Japan. Five
miles has been the supposed depth
of the ocean according to the books,
but the Penguin's continuance for
deep sea measuring was sunk to a
depth of 1900 fathoms, or about six
miles, when the wire broke, SO
there is no telling how deep the
hole really is. This makes the
depth of the ocean greater than
the height of the highest noun
tain. Rather dark and dismal at
such a depth, and the absolute
stiffness must be awful.

POSTAL MATTERS.

Our postoffice is credit to tn,
country. With the growth of tn,
country it has steadily improved
In the past it has had able admin.
istrators, but none more able than
the present chief, Mr.. J. M. Dat
He has done much to improve the
inter-island postal system, and to
him are due reforms in the carry
ing Of the overland mails, which
have been a great boon to the resi-
dents on the other islands. Mr..
Dat has systematized the methods
of transportation and has improved
the personnel of the distributive
force. He keeps well up with the
details of the Postal Union, and.
indeed, on that matter is better
posted than the officials of the San
Francisco postoffice. Moreover,
the Office here is not at a stand
still, but is ever trying to improve.
The time may come when we shall
have a regular city delivery. We
have regular collection from the
local boxes, which, tried once before
under the regime of Mr.. Whitney,
has become now an assured success
and proves great convenience.
Of complaints there will always
be crop, but both here and else
where the fault frequently lies with
the sender of the letter. Two or
three instances have recently come
up when complaint has been
made as to the miscarriage of
letters. Investigation has shown
that they have been given not to
even the pursers of steamers, but
TO some irresponsible parties who
have been careless about posting
them. 1t must be said for the pur-
sers OF our island steamers and
those of the foreign steamers touch
ing here, that they are very care
ful about letters and are very oblig-
ing in taking charge of them.
But even they are not responsible
Ior losses of letters or their direct
delivery. If people lose letters

complain of those authorities. The

MASSACHUSETTS, says the Out.
look, has been going in for road
making. For some time there has
been highway commission in that
State, and in 1895 the Legislature
appropriated 100000 for roads.
From published statements we
learn that petitions to the highway
commissions already ask for seven
hundred miles of road construction,
and it is expected that eventually
upward of two thousand miles of
road will come under its control.
This is one-tenth of the whole
roads of the State. What we need
here is some such commission, and
the Legislature should find means,
by loan, of carrying out its recon-
mendations. With good roads
much Of the landed property of
this country would be quadrupled
in value and the population would
increase rapidly. There are many
questions to which the coming
Legislature will have to give very
careful attention, but few, if any,
are SO important to the welfare of
all classes of the community as
goods roads. Open up our fertile
ands and an era of great prosper
ty is bound to follow; prosperity,
100, that will be founded upon a
solid basis.

THE case of Carl Klemme came
up before the court yesterday. The
defendant pleaded guilty. The At
torney-General asked for suspension
of sentence and Mr.. Klemme, un-
der that restriction, goes forth a free
man as long as he abides by the
laws of the Republic. The Govern
ment in this case have shown the
same clear cut policy they have
throughout. They have laid down
distinctively that no man shall re-
turn to these islands, once Danish
ed, unless he does so by leave of
the Government. A government
would not be worth it's name on
paper if it did not maintain its
point. But government can be
clement and in Mr.. Klemme's case
this Government has been clement.
1t has taken into consideration the
circumstances of Mr.. Klemme's
case and has dealt with him in
manner which must be appreciated
by every man or woman who be-
ieves in fair play.
