already has done 1t will he remem-
bered that the judge would not
allow Mr.. Richardson to appear as
an attorney in the Lahaina Court,
until he had taken the oath to the
United States. Mr. Richardson de.
clined to do so, and the matter was
referred by he magistrate to his big
oracle, the G. who evidently for
warded instructions, which made
Mr.. Kahaulelo realize, that he or
his "honorable" nephew are not yet
running the country. In the mean
time two clients OF Mr.. Richardson
have been con in Jail. On their
trial both were acquitted, aud he
attorney is now preparing a few
damage suits,
The engagement of A, f. Tavares,

The residents OF the Waluku dis
trict have send an urgent petition to
the Minister OF Interior, praying
that the water works for Wailuku
and Kahului be established at once.
The last Legislature appropriated
sufficient money for the purpose
but so far nothing has been done,
Although it is week since the Pc
tition was forwarded, the Minister
has not yet seen fit 10 acknowledge
the receipt al it, and the people fear
that the petition as well as the APP
preparation and the water works,
will be pigeonholed to suit the
corporations, which want all the
available water to increase their
cane and their stocks.

RUSSIAN METHODS.

That many very peculiar transac-
tions happen in the courts of the
outlying districts are we'll known to
the high authorities as well as to the
public in general, but it is seldom
that the small Czars of the country
districts dare to show their peculiar
methods, while intelligent people
from Honolulu and high officials Of
the Government are around.

In Kohala, things are different,
and we hardly feel surprised to hear
about the peculiar actions OF Gear
Andrews in petty district court,
where the great man, having moth
ing else to do, appeared personally
to prosecute ChinamaD, and Incl
dentally gave an example to his
subordinates in making an exhibi-
tion of his peculiar methods.

At Progress Hall.

The concert at Progress Hall last
Saturday did not have the patronage
which the excellsnt program deserv-
ed. Sydney H. Morse's well-trained
rich, high tenor was heard to
great advantage in we'll selected
songs.
Miss Maud Kinney is piano vir-
tuousa Of considerable merit, and
the violin solo rendered by her
proved that the young lady has also
a perfect control that delicate in-
strument.
Mrs. G. B. Cooper, Miss Cornelia
Hyde, Miss Emily Halstead and
Mesdames Titus and Howard, assist
ed in making the entertainment
musical success. DR., Winslow's solo
Mignonette was received with great
favor.
Mr.. T. V. Twinning, who is the
impressario OF Mr.. Morse, will ar.
range another concert at popular
prices.

On Wednesday last Mr.. Atkins
presided in the District Court at
Kohala. A Chinaman named Alb
Nip, was brought before His Honor
and charged by Sheriff Andrews
with larceny in the second degree.
The man looked like an ordinary
field laborer and appeared honest
enough. The. larceny consisted OF
stealing bananas OF the marketable
value OF one (Sl,00 dollar. He plead
guilty, and before the sentence Of 20
days at hard labor was pronounced
the Sheriff made statement which
made all present, except the magis-
trate, wonder whether we are living
in Siberia or in the United States OF
America. The Sheriff, Mr.. l.. A.
Andrews, said that a police officer
had seen the defendant acting in a
peculiar manner, and when the Off
Ger approached him he gave "leg-
bail" and ran as il martial law had
been declared. In this instance the
cop did not take back seat-it be-
ing Chinaman and not a u. S. A.
officer-and the heathen was caught
with bunch of bananas which, in
response to question, he claimed
to be his own. His statement didn't
wash with the myrmidon of the law,
who saw no reason why anybody
should run away from Kohala po-
liceman, and the Pake was locked
up. He protested his innocence but
to no avail. Nobody appeared to
complain of the loss OF bananas, nor
did anybody apparently desire to
prosecute Mr.. All Nip. The Sheriff,
however, seemed bound to have his
scalp, queue and all, and explained
the methods used to have the man
confess in open court in language
somewhat to the following effect:
81 told him he bad been stealing
the bananas aud he denied it. |
then locked him up again aud
brought him out after a while when
/ told him that his lying would do
him no good, because / would put
him in prison, if he didn't confess,
Then he admitted that he had
stolen the bananas, but | couldn't
make him tell from whom he took
them and locked him up again.
Next morning sent for him again
and told him, that if he didn't tell
to whom the bananas belonged, ]

We agree with the A. U. p. that
it is high time to let the rotation"

arrogant members OF the narrow
minded family compact, who think
that they own Hawai-nei and now
want to fence her in for their special
benefit.

admitted that the bananas belonged
to Renton. told him to plead
guilty and promised to ask the
Court to give him less than four

What kind OF proceedings will
any fair minded man call those,
which we have described, and which
alasl occur daily in many of our
local courts. Here is a man-we
admit that he is "only" Chinaman
sent to jail as felon without a
single witness appearing against
him, without Mr.. Rentop, the alleged
owner OF the bananas, entering a
complaint and on the simple dictum
of Mr.. Sheriff Andrews, who admit
ted that he had forced the confes-
sion out Of the mouth of All Nip
And listening to such an admission
OF the "whits" sheriff sits "white"
magistrate, who obediently accepts
the orders from the Gear and sends
the unfortunate mau to jail for 20
days, which OF course is less than
four months.

Not in search lob

one day in the spring of 1875, says the
Philadelphia Times, a understanding
young man called at the art department
OF the Daily Graphic in New York. at its
Park place offices, with package of
sketches. The drawings were left for in
Specton, and the artist, handfng his adj
dress IN Brooklyn to the assistant of the
art editor, took his departure The avail
ability II the work was manifest as soon
as the package was opened, and a comic
series from the lot was reproduced at once
Tor the front page. Their appearance
made quite futter in the cockIoft of the
art stan. for talent capable of furnishing
good comics in pen and ink in those DAYS
was a scarce and costly article. The page
was signed IS" and that was All the
staff knew about it until there was a GEN
eral showing about the work desks to
make room for Mr.. Sigsbee" But Mr..
Sigsbee did not materialize nor did the
supply of his wonderfully funny drawings
continue
1t became known that the art editor
had duly notified Mr.. Sigsbee that his
sketches were accepted and that he wouId
be given place upon the art staff at once.
Would Mr.. Sigsbee please be on hand up-
on Monday morning? But thzveditor was
unspeakably astonished. He then wrote
still more urgently to the coy. but desir-
able artist and this time he got an an
swer:
Lieutenant Commander Charles p
Sigsbee. L. S. N. sends his condiments
and begs TO say that as he is al present
in command Of a government shin he can
not accept the position so kindly offered"

TIE MIGHTY FALLEN.

John Peter ST Johns fanaticism has
come back to plague him. For years he
successfully rode prohibition as a hob
by, rode it into power, rode it over the
Republican party of Kansas, and rode
the party down into the dust of defeat,
and now it is riding him. He became
not only fanatical but used the power
he had gained in the most tyrannical
fashion. He not only forced bread and
butter and a high life from his hold
upon his hobby, but Delayed his adher-
ents in tyrannical way. He presum-
ed once too often and has fallen dead
and harmless stick. The Kansas City
Gazette in speaking of his fall says:
when a quack falls he falls hard.
The idea of John Peter st. John being
refused permission to talk in his own
little town of Olathe by the Woman's
christian Temperance Union, told to
get out, to go hire a hall, is almost be-
Yond belief. And yet what could be
expected? He signed a petition asking
that drug store whisky might be sold
.n blessed Olathe. Everybody knows
that under prohibition in Kansas drug
store whisky is the vilest decoction
known to materia medica, to chefistry
or science. There may be some me-
chanical or scientific properties about
it, but as an article to lubricate the
insides Of a man it is said to be as dis
astrous as the substance which did up
the battleship Maine. Hence when the
world wide apostle, a candidate for
president, a leader so profound as to
express the opinion that Leedy would
never get mixed up with the JOINT bust
ness, made such a break, there was
nothing to do but shut him off. But if
everybody else was to do the same
thing, and the world was to hear no
more Of st. Johns vocabulary noise,
what a rest it would be. We commend
the good people of Olathe in killing two
evils with one blow, rejecting drug
store whisky and shutting off st. John"

PARIS IN 1900.

The house knocked out the clause ap-
propriating money for an additiona
commission to Paris, but the old ar
rangement still stands. The death OF
Major Handy, late commissioner, has
caused number of applications foI
the place to be filed at Washington. Il
is expected that the appointment will
! be made by the president in a short
time. The place is a desirable one. Ii
will last at least three years, and per-
haps four, before the duties required
| Of a commissioner can be fulfilled.
! The French government has provid-
ed three methods for the display of
foreign exhibits. The choice rests with
the nation exhibiting. Articles may go
to the various buildings of the exposi-
ton according to classification. A spe-
! ciaI palace or pavilion may be erected
for the display CT a nations exhibits.
The third method is a combination of
the first two. partly one, partly the
other.
The government viii send TO Paris
next week Third Assistant Secretary
of State Cridler, as a special commits
sioner, an assistant to Mr.. Cridler and
a naval lieutenant. They are to study
the condition of affairs at the exposi-
ton grounds-what has been done and
what is to be done. This report will go
m tho ,oe,.,,, >o,,,,,,;.;o, ,r-1,o,, ~,
pointed. The president, it is expected,
will not only appoint a successor to
Major Handy. but will also name a
board Of commissioners for the gener-
al charge Of American exhibits.
Reports from Paris show that COM
plete plans Of all the buildings for the
exposition have been submitted. The
French minister OF commerce has ap-
proved of those that will be located on
the left bank of the River Seine. In
few weeks the contract for all the
buildings on both sides Of the Seine
will be disposed OF and the erection of
the buildings will begin. Most of them
will be completed in the course of the
summer of 1889.
The French government is putting
up a fine building, styled that Of the
army and navy. It is close to the edge
Of the river. The foundations alone
will cost $4,000. an expense partly due
TO the nature of the ground.
The Argentine Republic is to build
structure Cor its national display at
cost of 100000. The only American city
thus far interested in the Paris exposi-
ton is Seattle. The Klondike outfitters
believe in advertising. Seattle has re-
quested 10000 square feet of space up
on which to make an exhibition Of its
educational, commercial, physical and
geographical resources and its sur
proximity to the head
of the KlOndike trail It is understood
that Seattle has little or nothing to
show in the way of manufactures. but
the city is bound to be doomed extens-
lively at the Paris exposition.
