is very kind in listening 20 the people who
make application for places. hat he never holds
out hope if none can be held out If necessary
he goes through the unpleasant task of inform

more time in seeking the position wanted,
rather than give evssive, diplomatic answers.

somewhat humorous situation developed
in Alaska recently, according TO complaints
that reached the Interior Department last
week. The case was that of a United States
Commissioner who, it is alleged, has collected
illegal fees to large amount of money. He
was appointed Commissioner as a fair salary
and fees. At the town where be was stationed
he was the only Government official in that
neighborhoOd. 1t was a new town; it had by
this time about 1000 inhabitants and they
were very anxious TO enter the town site and
register the lots. The Commissioner, it is
charged, appointed himself Land Agent for
the registering of town lots. Coroner, Justice OF
the Peace, Corporation Counsel, Judge of tbs
Lower Court, Supreme Bench. and Prosecuting
Attorney. He began, it is alleged, to record
town lots, for which he charged fee OF S. for
himself and $3.50 for the Marshal. The law
places the maximum fee for this service al
$3.50. He registered. it is charged in the
neigh borhood of 1,500 town lots and this

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
IN the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms.

JUDICIAL DECIStON.
Ia Running Accounts the Balance
u the Debt

Ia Running Accounts the Balance
Is the Debt.
A unanimous opinion of the
Supreme Court, by Justice Frear,
has been rendered on the appeal
of plaintiff in the suit of l.. II.
Dee vs.. j. f. Morgan, from the
judgment of the Circuit Court,
contrary to the verdict of Jury.
Dee sold out his interest in
certain business to his part
ner, Morgan, who agreed to pay
all outstanding liabilities and
debts of the business. Macfar-
lane d. Co. owed the partnership
S217.75, and the partnership owed
Macfarlane d Co. S206.95, on
mutual accounts. Dee, claiming
the debt due the firm and main
tanning that Morgan should pay
the amount due by the
firm, tried to collect the S2l7.-
rs. Macfarlane e. Co. would only
pay him the balance of $l0.S0,
and Dee settled at that with an
exchange of receipts under pro.
test. He brought this action
against Morgan for the S2O6.95.
The Circuit Judge charged the
jury that upon a running account
with mutual debts and credits
the balance only was the
debt. The jury returned verdict
for the plaintiff, however, where
upon the Court, upon motion to
that effect by defendants counsel,
set aside the verdict and ordered
judgment non obstante veredicto,
and the question on which the
plaintiff appealed was whether
this was error. The Supreme
Court finds there was no error
and overrules the exceptions. 1t
is decided that: Judgment non
obstante veredicto may, under our
practise, be entered for the de-
PENDANT as well as for the plaintiff,
and on the evidence as we'll as
the pleadings, where the material
facts are undisputed. In mutual
accounts the balance only is
the debt due" G. A. Davis for
plaintiff; G. Brown for defendant.
