THE Associated Press dispatches
recently received from the Coast
contain a squib to the effect that
the people of Hawaii are contem-
plating secession from the central
Government and that Minister
Cooper's visit to the island was to
investigate the strength of the
secession sentiment. The only
striking feature about this story is
the proof positive that some one
connected with the Associated Press
was mighty hard up for story.
1t reminds us of the riddle to which
the answer is: cts big lie." If
our local correspondents can find
nothing more truthful than this to
write about we would suggest that
they take to saving wood for
living,

punishment for crime. Over against
the 10000 murders the record gives
only 1872 legal hangings. Less
than two per cent. of the crimi-
nails have, so far as the record
shows, paid the legal penalty for
their dastardly work. Attention is
at once directed to the criminal
courts. Looking again to the news
papers we find throughout the
whole United States a growing ten
dency on the part of the courts to
shield the criminal. The delay in
the trials, the reluctance of jurors
to find a verdict, appeals from one
court to another and a thousand
and one items that come in to give
the prisoner a new lease of life all
have their effect, and may be re-
garded as one of the leading causes
of the unfortunate result. 1t is
serious matter to take a human life
but the courts of to-day seem to
have more serious interest in the
guilty one. The innocent victim
has gone and time does a great deal
in calming public opinion. The
timesis coming when prompt justice
will be imperative.

CRANsToUN and Mueller have
found little comfort in their appeal
to the Canadian courts for damages
on account of their forcible depor-
tation from this country. While
the non-suit does not necessarily
indicate that the case is finished SO
far as the steamship company is
concerned, it means long fight for
two or three years, should the
plaintiffs decide to pay the costs
and appeal from the decision of the
court at Vancouver. The Ha-
waiian Government, which is indi-
rectly interested in the outcome,
holds by all means the most advan-
tageous position, and as the costs
increase it is highly probable that
the injured feelings of tie exiles
will pass into oblivion.

GOVERNOR BRADLEY in his mes
sage to the legislature of Kentucky
deprecates the increase of lynching
and the cigarette habit within his
state. This is the first time these
sins against humanity have been
put in the same class but we must
admit that they are in a measure
birds of a feather. If Kentucky's
new Republican Governor can get
his legislatures to stamp out these
evils his name ought to 60 down in
history as one of the greatest re-
formers of the age.
