ooDIFICATIoN OF THE PENAL
LAWS

1t is the opinion of The INDEPEND-
ENT that the Bar Association has
acted with discretion in not endeav-
oring to force the Ballou compila-
ton OF the Penal laws through the
Legislature as a Code.
AS an authorized book Of refer
ence recognized as such by the
highest courts its value will be test
ed by the experience of the next
two years.
In this connection the possibility
of annexation and the probable
adoption of laws more intimately
connected with those of the United
States must ever be borne in mind.
The INDEPENDENT believes that it
would be both wise and discreet
act for the Legislature to appoint
commission to codify ii. e. to revise
the compilations of Mr.. Ballou and
others both civil and penal laws
aud the rules OF Practice, such com
mission to report to the next Legis-
lature; if President Mckinley does
not annex us on the emergency
plea" after the adjournment of Con-
gress.
Such commits sion should, in our
opinion, be constituted with the
Chief Justice as chairman, another
Justice Of the Supreme Conrt, one
of the First Circuit Judges, another
from the island circuits, one district
magistrate and six members OF the
Bar,-three selected from the senior
practitioners, especially corpora

titioners, and one student fresh

bag when he was nsbbed in the act.
AT the Police Station he made a
clear confession and gave his "pal"

they "only wanted the sugar to
make swipes with" The excuse had
no effect, and the men will have to be

On the 9TH of April there appear
ed an item in the Evening Bulletin,
in which it was asserted that Ad-
miral had said to Government
official, that he was in Honolulu for
the purpose OF annexing the islands.
The Admiral was quoted as saying:
"My chief concern is right here. l
am here to annex the Sandwich Isl
ands, and will not leave until that is
accomplished" The INDEPENDENT
has never for a moment believed,
that the Admiral ever made such a
statement, and we can sympathize
with him in his ignoring the "yel-
low" story Of the 'yellow" Bulletin.
No sane person could believe that
man in the Admiral's position,
would "spin a yarn" Of such a
dangerous nature especially to a
Government official. II the Ad-
miraPs instructions we're to IAN
mex" these islands he certain
ly would not disclose such instruc-
tions, and if he had no orders to an
mex the islands and we should like
to know who could give such orders
without the sanction OF Congress
he certainly would not give out a
statement at the present time as
that quoted by the Bulletin, which
may be misconstrued and used by
the press OF the United States, which
is not acquainted with the yellow
ness" of the official papers OF Ha.
waii. The Admiral must have been
amused when reading in the Bulle-
tin his Sensational statement" on
one page, and on another an edi-
torial condemning yellow" journal

miral will really stay with us till we
are annexed. II he does he will be

me trustee OF the property mention
ed for the purpose, among Others,
Of holding the same and paying the
net income for the support of my
sister and her two children. The
deed was drawn with the purest
motives and to protect my sister and
her children against certain steps
which she has since said she is de-
termined to take aud which | con-
slider unwise. hold the property as
trustee. l am directed to perform
certain duties which, il l do not,
the courts can compel me to do.
The deed was carefully read to my
sister, explained to her, and signed
without question. 1t was duly
acknowledged the next morning by
my brother as was found by Judge
Wilcox in dismissing the case. You
say in your report that it was ac-
knowledged in tears and in fear OF
losing the children. The record OF
the Court will show that no ques-
tion was raised of losing the chill
dren until several months after the
deed was executed and only when
my sister stated her determination
to take the steps to guard against
which the deed was drawn. 1t could
therefore not have been that she
signed the deed with the fear Of
losing her children. Her claim even
now is that because she signed the
deed she has therefore made it
possible to lose the children. But
whether the deed stands or not
does not affect the control OF the
children. The deed says nothing
about the control OF the children
and that is a matter that must
remain for the proper court. If
there was any undue influence or
coercion in the matter, which 1
deny, it was with the best motives
aud for the purpose of protecting
my sister and her children, and
that is a question which can be
determined by court OF Equity in
an action to set a side the deed.
Trusting that you will give the
same publicity to this reply that
you have to the publication that
has drawn it out.
I remain very respectfully.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

The INDEPENDENT hesitates to ac-
cept the sensational war news until
after further confirmation. The
signs of the times, it must be frank
ly admitted, are 7ery bellicose; but
with three such potent personages
as President Mckinley, Queen Vic
toria and the Pope using their most
strenuous efforts in favor of peace
there is hope until the first gun is
fred. For the past two decades
there have been many false alarms
but the army Of the destroyer has
not yet embarked on board his death

The most absurd feature in the
proposed slight wine" bill is the
clause referring to local option.
Senator Baldwin evidently considers
that clause the strong point in the
bill, while intelligent people who
know what local option will mean
in this country simply see the "nig-
ger in the fence" Who, pray, are
the respectable" people who in the
country districts are to pose as "local
option9" The Senator and the in
troducer of the bill must certainly
he aware that in every country dis
trict the plantations control all "re-
spectacle" people, and that local
option will simply mean the opinion
and will OF the plantation "bosses." I"
II the question were left to those
entitled to a vote in each election
district, a true expression OF the
will OF the public would be obtained
II the present bill goes into effect it
will result In the planters having
the say whether they (or their
agents) want licensed saloon in
their districts or not. The people
will, as usual, have nothing to say in
the matter. We hope the clause re-
lating to local option will be stricken
out or the whole bill killed.

 The war blanks of the platform was as follows:
 We renew our adherence to the Mon- roe doctrine, asserting that our national sphere of influence comprehends and em- braces the entire western hemisphere; and that beyond securing requisite coaling and naval stations in other parts of the world for the convenience of our commerce, we should seek to require no territory.
 We commend to the generosity of a grateful public the soldiers of the late war with Spain, sympathize and comiserate with all such as are now suffering untold agonies, the direct result of glaring in- competency and brutal neglect upon the part of the war department of the general government, and demand a thorough im- partial investigation of that department by democratic congress and punishment of the men who have prostituted patriot ism to partisanship and greed"

~THE PLAY~

The Woodward Warren company drew another splendid house at OBrien's last night and probably moro appreciative au- dience never witnessed more pleasing per- formanoe. The bill of fare presented last night was an elegantly served presentation of ""The Captains Mate," nautical drama full of interesting lines, striking sit nations and thrillingly sensational cli- maxes. To the local theatrical public this piece was new and made an instantaneous hit. Each part was well taken and the rendition of the entire play thoroughly sat- isfed and really highly pleased every aud- itor
 MT. Woodward as Michael Flannigan," policeman and sailor, was seen in a diver sion from his usual characters, and as usual made friends ith the audience. Miss Jennette Lewis In the title roll never looked more chic and attractive nor served an audience more satisfactorily. "The Captains Mate'' was presented with spe- cial scenery, new and decidedly more at- tractive than the usual settings
 Taken as a whole, Woodward gave the best show for the same money ever pre- sented in this or any other southern city. Matinee today, "The Other Girl," and to- night "Queena."
