REAL ESTATE WILL BOOM.
Marion County's Plan Will Just
Suit Abilene.

Henry Mclean, one Of the leading
lawyers Of our neighboring town Of
Marion, has prepared a bill regulating
land ownership. 1t provides that no
person shall own more land than is
necessary for homestead. OF course
provision is made as to the extent Of
Homestead" for farm purposes or
for residence in cities and villages.
The bill will provide how owner
ship shall be restricted in case man
is in possession Of more land than is
necessary for homestead. q II some
other person desires the surplus for a
homestead and II the tender OF rea-
sonable sum as purchase money Is
refused process of confscation shall
follow.
In that case the man who wants to
purchase may 60 into court, when a
a jury shall assess the value of the
land that he covets, and he shall re-
ceive a Judicial deed for the property
on paying the amount, The owner
refusing to sell shall pay the costs Of
the suit as a penalty for not giving
up his property on demand at the
price offered by the man who wanted
it.
An amendment will be offered pro.
viding that any one having real estate
to sell may have it appraised and
then anyone who refuses to buy it ~
it is offered to him shall go to jail.
1t is poor rule that will not work
both ways.

one was ready for trial the other
side was not, but the judge showed
an inclination to finish the work
without delay. In one civil case
which has been standing on the
calendar for many months and been
continued time and time again, one
attorney asked for further con-
tinuance until next term, giving as
his reasons that his principal wit.
ness, who lives at Puualuu on this
island, is nearly 100 years old and
very i'll. The attorney for the other
side suggested that under the cir
cumstances it would be wise to go
on with the case at once as it was
quite natural to expect that the sick
centenarian wouldn't he in much
better health in February next. The
judge smole smile and suggested
that deposition OF the ancient wit
ness be taken without delay and
that the case move on.

Russian War.

Captain Parker made a raid on
one OF the numerous Russian War
banks which are infesting the water
front and bagged Is Hawaiians in
cluding the banker. A number Of
gamblers escaped by jumping into
the water and hiding under the
docks.
There has been numerous com
plants from the steamship COM
panies against these open air banks
which make the laborers leave work
to gamble. There was quite com
motion in the streets when the Is pri-
soners were marched to the station
under police escort.

The Special Term.

At 10 o'clock this morning the
special term OF the First Circuit
Court was opened by Judge Perry,
assisted by Judge Stanley. All the
members OF the Bar at present in
town were present. Jack Thompson
and native charged with larceny
on board the steamer Mokolii occu-
pied the dock. The Attorney. Gen
erals Department was present and
by request of the Judge she" sent
for the Kauai murderers who shortly
after appeared in custody of Captain
Parker. On motion OF Mr.. Rosa the
sentencing Of Kapea aud Kaio was
deferred until the return of their
attorney, Mr. Robertson. If he re-
turns morrow, the men will be
sentenced on Wednesday morning.
Judge Perry announced that all
criminal cases on the calendar would
stand over owing to the absence OF
the Attorney General, and the civil
cases we're called off aud dates fixed
for their hearing.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
appeared in Court and objected to
the Executive furnishing the Judici-
ary with a stenographer, stating
that the services of Mr.. Marx we're
needed in the Foreign Office. The
judge eventually agreed to pay for
the expenses OF stenographer and
the Minister retired to wrestle with
foreign relations.
The outlook is that the special
term may he finished during this
month and number of old cases
finally be wiped off the calendar
There was OF course the usual
squabble among the attorneys. When

THE PEOPLE BE ID.

The way in which the officials Of
Mr.. Dole's funny" little republic
conduct public business is remark
able to say the least The personal
interests of the individuals who are
pressing the buttons of tho govern
ment machinery seem to over
shadow the interests Of the tax
payers in deplorable degree.
There ought to have been no reason
for the calling of the special term OF
the Circuit Court which was opened
this morning. The murderers OF
Dr. j. X. Smith should have been
tried in due time aud in the regular
course OF Judiciary routine. H.
stead special session was called OF
the Kauai Circuit Court at which a
change OF venue to the regular ses-
sion of the First Circuit was grant
ed The trial here OF the murderers
occupied the time OF Judge and
jurors to the very last day of the
term and in consequence a very
large number Of cases which Justly
should have had precedence for hear
ing we're postponed until next term
to the Inconvenience, expense and
general loss OF litigants and attor-
neys. The appropriation at the dis
position of the Judiciary Department
is practically exhausted and it was
doubted whether the Supreme Court
would grant the holding Of special
term. When it was realized how
ever that the murderers of DR..
Smith could not legally be SEN
tenced during the November term,
special term was Immediately
ordered and opened this morning by
Judge Perry. Quite lengthy cal

ing only too happy to avoid further
delay. But, 10 and behold! the gov
eminent was not ready to proceed
with the criminal cases owing to the
absence from town of the Attorney
General, his deputy and the Mar
shall who are all attending Court at
Lahaina. No one had been deputized
to act for the Attorney General and
it was necessary for Judge Perry to
postpone the criminal cases to be
tried at this term until further
notice, aud once more the supposed
criminals, their witnesses and law
yers walked away complaining loud
ly over the arbitrary aud unparallel-
led conduct of the Government.
We fail to s'e any reason why the
Attorney General aud his deputy
should both be attending the Laha-

Another writer, after an interview
with Senator Perkins, says that the
Senator is not only against aunexa-
ton, but 80 sure OF its failure that
he is arranging diiic alton of
the terms OF the Hawaiian treaty OF
reciprocity, and has assurances from
respectable number Of his con-
freres OF the Senate to agree upon a
reduction of Hawaii's benefits under
the treaty to one cent pound upon
sugar. Senator White will work
along the same lines so far as the
reciprocity treaty is concerned.

To drop The reciprocity treaty in
the mad scramble for that of annex

the foolishness of the dog which, in

reflected in the stream, Any reduc-
ton OF benefits under the treaty
will work an injury to Hawaii; but
IL We can retain an advantage of one
cent pound on our sugar for FIVE
years, the term under which reci-
procity treaties may be- operative
under the Dingley tariff, it will be
better for Hawaii than annexation.
The gentlemen who have built
houses on the shores of Lake Mer.

conditions Of the reciprocity treaty,

HAWAII AND JAPAN
Minister Hatch Says the Trouble
Has Been Smoothed Out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25,--Hawaiian
Minister Francis NJ. Hatch, who has
Just arrived in the city on his
return from Honolulu, expressed
the opinion to-day that the trouble
between Japan and Hawaii had been
smoothed out and could he sttled
now without difficulty.
The Japanese Government seems,
however, to be disposed to have the
matter settled in as amicable spirit
as possible.
He added: "It is entirely salts
factory to Hawaii, / should judge,
to have the matter OF the alleged
claim for damages stated definitely.
1t 6xes the limit OF the claim, il any
damages are to be allowed.
Before the claim might have
been So or $2,0O0,O00. This, it seems
to me, places the matter in more
tangible shape, and / think the
disposition on both sides now is to
treat the matter in friendly spirit"
The amount claimed by Japan as
damages is not exceeding 100000.

the Senate, mark our prediction, for
80 far The INDEPENDENT has been cor
rect. In case of an attempt to carry
the treaty by joint resolution the
debate must be open, and those op-
posed to the treaty will make such
a showing of the unconstitutionality
OF such action, and of the infamy of
the measure that senators of both
political parties who favor annexa,
tion and who have regard for their
regulations will drop their conten-
