CALICO RIDGE.

fNHhfhOO NADOAHs
Another happy event that is TO
be chronicled for Calico Ridge, was
u surprise on Squire ShuItz, Satur-
day evening, Feb. s, by about So ef
his neighbors and friends, 1t being
the 18th anniversary of his birth.
The surprise, which was planned
by his estimable wife, was sue
cess in every particular. The Squire
who has been somewhat indisposed
for few days on account Of an at
tack of grippe, had received his
Saturdays mail and was In one
room pouring over the contents OF
his papers while the guests were
silently congregating in another
apartment to await the victim
whom they were seeking to sur
prise. When the room was well
nigh filed with surprisers, his wife
decoyed him in. He was complete
ly corralled with astonishment but
expressed the opinion that "some.
body was at the bottom of this"
Soon after all the guests had ar.
rived supper was. announced to
which all did ample justice. After
supper the older people spent the
time very sociably while the young
er ones INDUCED In plays until the
hours grew many when all depart
ed, wishing Mr.. Shultz the return
of many more birthdays.

Women MAY Vote,

While the supreme courts deci-
sion as to the constitutionality of
the law vestiag women with the
franchise in school elections will
he the cause ofrejoicing among the
advocates Of equal rights, it is by
no means so satisfactory as it
would have been if The members of
the bench had been unanimous in
their finding. The decision is good
in law because majority of the
judges did not sustain the negative
but in fact it shows the supreme
bench to have entertained just as
great weight of opinion against as
for the constitutionality of the law.
That they have gained their point
upon the technicality of an equal
division will lessen the qualification
of rhe laws friends
1t is Of especial interest to note
that the decision, or rather the
vote of those judges favoring the
constitutionality of the law, is
based on a former construction OF
the constitution to mean that the
only legal voters are men. 1t is
thus held, substantially, that school
officers are in no sense officials of
constitutional creation, but simply
subjects of leglslativs ena ctment.
Thus, while women are not legally
qualified electors under the con-
stitution, they may vote for can
didates which have no place in
the autonomy OF the state uader
organic law. This effectralIy di-
sposes ofthe argument that 10 give
the women the franchise in school
matters only opened the way to
making them voters in the fullest
sense. The decision Of the supreme
court Is sufficient TO show that this
can be done only by constitutional
amendment.

Justice Often Thwarted.


1t is too often the case that legal
s1uabbles thwart justice. We
have seen in our own courts tech
nicalities OF the smallest nature
throw an important case out and
dismiss no doubt guilty prisoner.
In the case now pending of the
wful murder of Mss Pearl Bryan
at Cincinnati, several questions
arise that will have tendency If
not an entirety to freeing the pris-
oners, Jackson and Walling. The
first is, "was deceased killed in
Ohio or in Kentucky?" The au-
thorities are squabbling over that.
A sheriff of Kentucky claims the
ease and prisoners because the
DO ly was found in Kentucky. The
Cincinnati authorities claim that
Miss Bryan was killed in Cincin-
natl and taken to Kentucky. The
truth will probably never be known
and justice thwarted by legal
slualble.
Anoiher.veil that will probably
never be lifted is twas Miss Bryan
killed with malice and afore-
thought or hy accident in the ad'
ministering ofa drug,and in whose
hand was the drug, her own or in
the hands of another" Here are
two vile wretches accusing each
other of murder most horrible, and
ii may never be known which one
or whether either committed the
awful crime.
Another legal squabble that will
file error after error is the identifi-
cation. Whether it is possible to
substantially identify a person law
fully by the clothes they might
have had on. The head Of Miss
Bryan is gone and may never be
found, and the face is the only sure
Identification Of the person. An
other may have had clothes like
her, but faces are never alike
Should one be convicted and hang
ed on probable Identification and
the supposed murdered turn up in
after years, the state would never
lose her stain.
This case is a deep one. There
turns up a Miss lIollingworth that
testifies that she WAS with Miss
Bryan when the latter bought
drugs, and that the latter told her
she proposed to take the drug for
abortion purposes in the presence
Of Jackson, and if it killed her,
Jackson her deceiver, would be
accused Of murder, and thus she
would get even with him to that
extent. So that in the face of all
the doubt and possibilities and i'm
probabilities, the murder OF Pearl
Bryan may never he avenged and
a warning it is to young girls who
think swiftness II smlrtness. A
single wrong step may foster the
most horrible result. There are
always those among men who seek
your ruin, and once accomplished,
ready to cast you aside to disgrace
and death, and they go out free on
slight error in law.

Upon the whole, II is perhaps
fortunate that the constitutionality
Of the law has been sustained, even
though the margin was narrow.
If the women are TO vote at all, II
is especially appropriate that 1t

The population of the district of
HiIo has been received per Kinau. The
figures as reported, without correction,
are 9O65 males and 3799 females, total
of -. 1854. In 1890, when the last census
was taken, the figures stood 1852 males
and 3O73 females, total of $685.. This
is a gain of 1929 in all and of 1908
males and 726 females. In the work
that Mr.. H. C. Austin, the District SUI
perintendent, laid out was plan for
taking the census of what may be call
ed HiIo City The Town Division in
cludes Kaumana, Piihonua and keau-
kaha. The total of this amounts to
1896 of whom 1885 are males and 1901
are females. The actual population OF
Hilo proper has never before been ar
rived at. 1t is now possible to judge
what Hilo as a city represents. 1t rep
resents 5000 people out of a popula-
ton of 100000 or three one hundred
and tenths of the whole group. 1t GER
fainly manages to make considerable
noise for the size of the place. 1t must
| always be remembered that Hilo dis
! trict and Hilo city or town are at con
! siderable variance and that the news
paper views are from the town. not the
i country.

FINANCES.

Every now and again some of the
opposition papers get off some cheap
claptrap about the finances OF this
country. They talk a lot of perfect
baIderdash, but they please themselves
nightly.
Look back at the year 1885. The d.
rect taxes yielded in that year $685.
691. 80. The customs revenue was $547,-
1904. and other internal revenue pro-
duced $500. 22423, in all $1,740,065.1
and in spite of an epidemic of cholera
and a revolution the current expenses
were kept within that income. From
this may be deduced what Minister Da-
mon will be able to do during this year,
and the next when we are likely to
have either of the unfortunate vista
tions above alluded to.
Already we see the August bills be-
ing paid in October, month before
they are usually payable. Let the pres
ent system continue and the time will
come when government bills will be
paid monthly Never at any time in its
history has the Hawaiian treasury
stood on a firmer basis than now.
The position of Hawaiian trade as
shown in 1895 was also remarkably
good. The exports in that year amout-
ed to SS,474,13S1 and the imports to
S.. 339. 7S5. "a. This certainly shows well
for a country whose total population
is exceeded by dozens of cities in the
United States and elsewhere.
OF these exports $7,975, 590.41 were
credited to sugar; So, S3S.6S to coffee
and s1O2, 1925 to bananas, while pine
apples came in with $S,783.84.
OF the imports $4.121, 92O.22 came
from the Pacific ports of the United
States and 1894, 1896 from the Allan
tic ports of the Republic, total of $4,,
516,3193S. leaving only 81, 197, 69S.1 IT
for every nation that the Hawaiian
Islands have commercial relations
with.
Taking exports and imports together
the business done in 1895 by these
Islands with all it's commercial rela
tions amounted to s14, 1859. o.
this sum $12, 908, 50S.92 was done will
the United States of America. This i:
81 per cent of the whole business o.
the Islands. Who can say that the re
lations of this country with the United
States are not intimately close?
With the financial and bushes:
showing that can be made, with con
tinued prosperity, and things do loof
prosperous, this country will one o
these days form a brilliant star in the
crown of Columbia. The star may bt
small, but it will fash like diamond

MINISTER COOPER.

By the Miowera today Minister
Cooper goes to Canada and the United
States for a well earned holiday. Com
ing here six years ago this gentleman
soon took a prominent part in the af-
fairs of the country. In 1893 he was
one of the foremost in that group of
determined men who faced what was
likely TO be death, had the opposing
forces consolidated The public can
well remember how Mr.. Cooper stood
at the Waikiki side of the entrance to
the Government buildings and read
what may be justly called the Hawai-
ian Declaration of Independence. 1t
was boldly done, and since then Mr..
Cooper has fully carried out the prom
Use of his first public act.
In March, 1893, Mr.. Cooper became
Circuit Judge of the First Circuit which
position he ably filled till on the resig-
nation of Mr.. Hatch from the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, he being appointed
Minister to Washington, Mr.. Cooper
took charge of the Foreign Office.
While there he has shown ability and
energy, and many delicate matters
have been settled quietly, without COM
ing to public ears, through his strong
common sense and direct method of
dealing.
After the adjournment of the Legis-
lature. in accordance with the new
educational law, Mr.. Cooper was APP
pointed Minister of Education. His
energy in the direction was at once
manifest. He suggested and carried
! out various reforms and showed him.
self as able at the head of educational
| affairs as he had been when dealing
with the foreign diplomats.
Minister Cooper is still young man
being on the sunny side of forty. In
deed he is younger than any OF his
colleagues and many of the heads OF
the departments. But young men are
what a young country needs. 1t needs
energy, vim and determination. Of al
this Minister Cooper is an admirable
exemplar.
The Minister'S visit to the COntinen1
will no doubt be of considerable adj
vantage to this country. He carries
with him a mine of information and ht

THE CASTLE CASE.

An extraordinary case has taken
place in London. Mr.. and Mrs. Castle,
well known society people in San
Francisco, but no relations of our fell
low citizens, have been arraigned for
pilfering goods from some of the stores
they patronized. Their bail was placed
at $4,000. Their populations are es-
timated at over $4,000. In such a
matter one must have the utmost SYM
patty for this unfortunate people &C
cused. But the case as it stands proves
very eonclusively, as the Argonaut
saws. and has said often, that the ad-
ministration of Justice I'd the criminal
courts of the European States is far
more even handed than what prevails
in the United States: TheesArgonaut is a
strong American pape4lRnd cannot be
thought to favor European methods,
but the Argonaut is eminently fair.
The Argo1raut says 8sl
suppose, purely for Purposes of argu-
ment, that people of equal standing with
the Castles had been arrested en- "a SINH
States. Suppose a similar amount OF
pressure had been brought to bear upon
the courts, through the leading merch-
ants. the leading bankers and the leading
professional men of thS city where the
arrest took place. Suppose that the De-
partment of State had also interviewed
to shield the prisoners. Suppose that
these prisoners had been. people of large
wealth and of good social position in the
city whence they came. How long would
they have been detained in any city of
the United States by any criminal judge
in the United States? Not twenty-four
hours-not twelve hours-not one hour.
Yet these people in London-with every
pressure brought to bear to save them,
or at least to secure bail for them-were
forced to remain in jail for week, and
then were admitted to bail only because
the public prosecutor and the inspector
of detectives refused, through ympathy,
to oppose the bail. Even then the magis-
trate fixed the bail at two hundred thou
sand dollars-a sum which in the United
States would be considered large for the
president of a corporation who had stolen
all the corporate funds.
1t is said that this London magistrate
believes that people of wealth, position
and education deserve severer punish
ment than those of lesser opportunities,
and that people of wealth should be
placed under heavier bail than people
who are poor. Such views as this are
so contrary to those prevailing in the
criminal courts of the United States that
they almost startle an American. Yet
who can say that they are wrong? De-
spite the sympathy all San Franciscans
feel for their townspeople who have been

POLITICAL POT BUBBLES.

CHICAGO, oct 1O.-Nearly 100000 men
marched in the great parade in honor of
sound money and Mckinley in Chicago
today. Never had so great public dem
onstration been held here.
The parade began to move at 10 o'clock
in the morning, and the last detachment
did not reach the end of the route until
late in the afternoon. So immense was
the body of rnarchers that some divisions
did not form until 3 or o'clock in the af-
ternoon. The procession was l. miles
long, and $50 bands furnished the music
The parade was reviewed at two points
