OUR COURTS IN DISGRACE
Subject of DIR. Case's Theme Last Even
ing at the Howard Methodist
Church.


DR.. W. W. Case preached at the Howard
street Methodist Church last evening on
the subject "Our Courts in Disgrace" In
his sermon he made pointed illusions to
the pugilistic encounter recently enacted
In Judge CampbelPs courtroom and the
| gun-drawing scene in the Ashley trial on
| Thursday last. In the course of his re-
marks DR.. Case said:
"Our church teaches us not to speak evil
| of magistrates or ministers. 1t is a very
good piece OF advice. We ought to rever-
ence things which are worthy of reverence.
Ministers of justice and ministers OF the
gospel ought to be above reproach. They
should be persons possessed of such
characters as shall merit the confidence
and respect of the people among whom
they minister.
at is folly to expect justice from the
unprincipled. The Germans have a pro-
verb that Justice has a waxen nose )
Whether in this City it be wax or putty
in some persons it is decidedly twisted, to
say the least. Our judiciary is supposed
to stand for the very highest ideal of
honor. Ministers of Justice as well as
ministers of the gospel are expected to be
the conservators of the public peace and
morals. OF all men Judge ought to have
the elements OF true manhood, and possess
those qualities which command the re-
spect OF honest and intelligent people
1.-The disgraceful scene in Judge Slack's
court a few days ago does an untold
amount of injury to. public morals, though
SO far as we can see he is not at all re-
sponsible for it and proposes to bring the
offenders to account. But who is to ar
raign the pugilistic Judge and fine him
for contempt?
'The folly of carrying firearms was
shown in the unfortunate scene in Judge
Slack's court. Enter not into tempta-
tlon.' A deadly weapon in the pockets

where. 1t is a temptation in the moment

GERMANY'S NAVY.

Emperor William, speaking recently
of Admiral Won HOLMAN, secretary of
the navy, is reported to have said:
The question of bringing the Ger
man navy to the point of being really
formidable, not only for defense, but
for aggression, is one of life or death
of the nation, inasmuch as it involves
the standing of Germany as much as
the fatherland will help me to bring
this about, as the German navy is at
present wholly inadequate for its mis-
sion in the future"
This is an appeal which the patriot
ism of Germany can scarcely resist.
Certainly no other electorate of a ma
ton could Withstand such a represen-
tation from ruler of the same rela-
tive position. The Emperor has the
handicap of seemingly when he is not
asking for more army it is for greater
navy. His land force policy all but
met Il Waterloo. Now he has better
and stronger argument. Germany
commence is going ahead by leaps
and bounds and cruisers armored and
armed must be the companions or
guardians of merchantmen. The leg
islative system over there is that when
a measure from the throne is voted
down the Emperor may dissolve the
Reichstag and go to the voters for en-.
dorsement. He threatens to do this
if his IDEAS on navy fail of support.
One marked feature of the discussion
has been the savage frankness of sew
eral leading critics of the navy. They
it under feet much as Wolseley has
had his filings at the British navy.
However, with Germany there have
been sturdy defenders of both the rul-
er and the navy. Much of the time to
the landsman or layman, squadrons-
groups of floating fortresses-app
rather luxurious and ornamental.
However, there can be no dissent from
Capt.Mahan's view that no country can
expand or become really reachful and
great without an ample navy. The
German Emperor is a determined man,
and, as in this instance, he has the
merit on his side of the contention, he
should prevail with his opinions with
out a protracted or disturbing strug-
gle.

as the Egyptian treasury rs unable to
provide for that purpose.
The keenest, best balanced and most
observant travellers returned from
Egypt in speaking of any feature of
that very interesting land invariably
drop into mention of or comment up
on Lord Cromer. He is marvellous
figure indeed-a masterful man. The
truth is that Cromer, for the British,
governs Egypt And he rules it in Il
cool, calculating, mercilcss and drastic
manner. 1t is scarcely too much TO
assert that in the history of the land
of the Nile he will occupy "a niche close
to the Paroahs, Napoleon and the
naval heroes. He wills to keep himself
rather in the background, but once
his atmosphere is reached, his power
and genius are appreciated to the full
est extent. Cromer is a man well adj
vanced in years, but the balmy cline
has made slight inroad upon his stock
of mental and physical vigor. He is
hard worker and with so quick a
grasp that nothing escapes him. How
he loves to use the iron hand, and
with what beautiful and certain effec-
tiveness does he apply that assured
weapon of success-well directed
force. Cromer is gospel at home--so
! he is law at his work. The French he
| plays with and jumbles and turns
aside as he likes. And what children
/ in his hands are the Khedives and
Pashas and patriarchs and prophets
and chiefs. When one of these chaps
offends, even by the slightest token
/ he is forced to account on his knees
to Cromer. Every wall catches whisp'
ers and carries them to Cromer. In
his person Great Britain is in Egypt
to stay and to acquire. She has al

IN GOOD FAITH.

The Annexation host of Hawaii finds
itself in excellent trim after four years
of existence, including exciting strug-
giles, discouraging happenings, gravest
threats and uphill fighting all the
way. There is good faith in a cause
that is able to make this showing.
There is good faith in the breasts of
the men committed to and supporting
the grand political idea conceived here
many years ago and in the first month
of 1893 launched as "A possible, .prac-
ticable plan. The cohesion indicates
the utmost earnestness, the fullest
confidence and the tenacty and deter
mination that are brought to worthy
contests only. Never for "A single mo-
ment since the Provisional Govern
ment was set up as stepping stone,
has the needle, subject to the best
thought and best intent here, point
ed other than exactly true. There has
been no faltering even in the very
darkest days of intrigue and the peril
of the trying hours when great and
Irresistible force was all but used. For
many, many months-indeed to but a
comparatively short period since
there were floating inuendoes that a
powerful cabal lived and hourished
that was not true to the proclaimed
principle of annexation. That charge
has now been dissipated, lived down.
shelved with other falsity and SANDER
From the initiative there has not been
lost to the cause of the salvation of
the land the adherence of an individ-
ual who at any time had the confidence
of the faithful band. No other polit-
zeal movement, of even more trying
character can parallel this record.
The cherished ideas become more firm
ly imbedded and the support more
and more staunch and settled These
facts and others portending a final
grand success for the cause of Annex
alton disarm and puzzle and confuse
the opposition. The latest cry they
have raised and the only one they have
raised lately is for commission IN
come to Hawaii from Washington to
"investigate" This is matter which
the Republic and the party behind il
is entirely willing to leave, with other
affairs, in the hands of Congress.
