Made Fools of Them.

Louis Coleman, driver in the EN-
ploy OF the Tramwsys Company,
was arrested yesterday and charged
in The Court this morning with vio-
lation of the law relating to cruelty
to animals
The man was arrested at the nsti-
cation Of Consul General Haywood,
who told Miss Wilder that very
serious case of cruelty had been OBJ
served by him and his wife.
Captain Parker had the driver
arrested upon hearing the story told
by the Haywoods to Officer Miss
Wilder.
The case was called in Court this
morning when, to the disappoipt-
ment OF Miss Wilder and the Office RS,
aud the Magistrate, the Haywoods
declined to appear in court, the
Consul g General shielding himself
under some alleged rules OF the U.
S. State Department.
Judge Wilcox dismissed the
charge against the driver OF the
mules, and ordered the clerk to en-
ter on the docket, that "This arrest
was made at the instance of the
American Consul General, who now
declines to testify against defend
ant, there being no other witness
known to the prosecution"
The man was discharged and the
police have been instructed to make
no arrests on behalf OF the Ameri-
can Consul. General, without bis per-
sonal appearance at the Station
House to substantiate his charges.

The temporary suspension OF the
telephone service is very serious
affair to the whole community.
There are rumors anost creating an
impression that the precautions
which saved the Honolulu Electric
Station from fire whom wire was
struck by lightning, we're not OBJ
served at the Telephone Office We
hope that the investigation now
being held will sift the matter to
the bottom and fud out whether
the blame for the occurrence is to
be credited to the elements which
wa cannot regulate, or to the en-
ployees OF the monopoly, over which
the people has even less control.

WHO IS TIP

A very prominent Hawaiian lady
was reported being very i'll a few
weeks ago. When she was in a very
low condition, Professional
M.ddler whose rotund form is we'll
known in and out OF court made his
appearance at the residence of the
sick lady, armed with pen, ink and
cake. A lady attending the sick
alii told the visitor that no one was
allowed in the sick room. The Pro-
fessional Meddler insisted in getting
in, saying that came to advise the
alii how to dispose OF her property
and incidentally present to her a
homemade cake. The high position
OF the Meddler scared the lady-in-
waiting, aud she reported to the
nnrs--in chief, that the Meddler was
there with pen and ink and impu-
dence and cake. She returned with
a message that he could not possible
be admitted. "Ah," said the Pro-
{. nal M-ddler, "let her know
thal sill come to her whenever
am wanted and she wants to have
my advice in regard to making a
will. Goodbye. l take the cake"
And so he did.

Too Strong to Test.

Dole's statement that "some" Of
the Hawaiians favor annexation and
"some" oppose it, shows the opposi.
tion is so strong that the self-elected
officers dare not submit their annex
alton job to the people of Hawaii
1t has so far been approved only
by the Sugar trust agents who run
the Hawaiian despotism.-Kansas

Legislative Officials.

Geo. Manson, the able special
writer of the Evening Bulletin, is
the most prominent candidate for
the position Of clerk to the Senate
and James Keola for similar posi-
tion in the Assembly. Geo. Camp
ton, resident Of twenty years and
a staunch annexationist, hopes to be
sergeant-at-arms OF the Senate and
j. D. Tucker will probably attend to
the discipline OF the Lower House.

The bureau under the Interior
Department, which should have the
special attention Of the Legislature,
is the Bureau of Agriculture, now
conducted by Mr.. Marsden who has
sent in his resignation, to take effect
on April 1st. What the country
wants is an Agricultural Office
which can be called truly practical
aud which can furnish strangers
with facts built on experience not
derived through theories obtained
from the books in a library. The
country needs a practical COM
missioner Of agriculture, man who
can say "plant this now, pick the
fruits, prune, avoid planting on such
soil, etc, etc" A contemporary
suggested few days ago the name
OF Mr.. d. G.. Camarinos for the posi-
tion, We can heartily endorse the
proposition. We have no idea,
whether Mr. Csmarinos would ac-
cept such position, but we know
him as an expert in fruit growing
and agricultural pursuits in Cali
fornia, a man who was selected
representative at the Trans. Missis
sipi Congress to specially further
the interests of the California fruit
growers. What we want in the
Agricultural Bureau is man with
practical experience. Blacksmiths,
carpenters and sailors are good
enough in their own branches. An
agriculturist should preside in the
Bureau Of Agriculture.

A Queer Government.

Que of the principal matters to be
attended to by the Legislature will
be the revision of the Stamp Law.
This matter has received the atten-

last year OF the fact that owing to
the Finance Office being only a
sales department for the issue of
stamps, instead OF a stamping bureau
a nu nber of labor contracts and
