We presume that the Circuit
Judges have the right to try the
cases on the calendar OF tho terms
over which they preside with closed
doors, although we must admit that
we do not find any warrant for such
action in tho laws or constitution OF
tho Republic. Judge Carter has
agreed to hear the Dimond divorce.
cases privately and the press and
the public have been excluded.
After tho publicity heretofore given
to the cause in California and in
Hawaii the policy of the attorneys
is to say the least remarkable. The
public has right to draw the con-
clusion that the former publicity
given to the main actors in the
drama was uncalled for and that the
domestic linen to be washed before
Judge Garter is very, very dirty.
But why are not the cases Of the
poor Hawaiians treated with the
same consideration as evidently are
those OF the wealthy "whites,"
