ST. Andrews Cathedral Marriage

St. Andrews Cathedral Marriage
at Noon.
In st. Andrews Cathedral at high
noon yesterday D. Howard Hitchcock,
the artist, was united in marriage with
Miss Hester Dickson, the Rev. Alex
Macintosh performing the ceremony,
using the ritual of the American Epis-
copal Church. The church was we'll
filled with the friends of the young
couple, summoned there by invitation.
The church was mass of flowers and
ferns, particularly the front part.
At the appointed hour, the bride en-
tered the church supported on the
arm of her uncle, Chief Justice Judd.
Preceding her were the groomsmen,
Messrs. John and Harry Warehouse;
the bridesmaids, Misses Cordelia Car
ter and Clara Fuller and then, the
maid-of-honor, Miss Pauahi Judd, in
order named. The groom with his best
man, Mr. Walter Dillingham;, were at
the appointed spot and, as the strains
of The voice that breathed DER Eden"
died away, the service began. Then
came the soft music of Bach's Sara
band" by Prof. Yandley on the violin
and Wray Taylor on the organ. This
continued throughout the ceremony.
AS the wedding procession proceeded
to the vestry to sign the register, the
bridal march from Lohengrin was
played
The ceremony over, the bridal party
went to the home of Dr. and Mrs Day,
where the wedding breakfast was serv-
ed.
The newly married couple have gone
to the country. They will return in
time for the Kinau on Tuesday TO go
to their future home in Olaa.
Both the young people are very well
known in Honolulu. They were born
in Hawaii nei and intend to make this
their home.
The ushers at the church were:
Messrs. George Carter. S. G. Wilder,
Gerritt P. Wilder and E r. Adams.

Big Police Drill.

Marshal Brown has decided to give
drill of both the mounted and foot
police in Punahou pasture on Satur-
day afternoon for the benefit of the
members of the Legislature. OF course,
if the transports are here the drill will
be called of. The public are cordial
ly invited to attend. Many people
have signifed their wish TO see these
drills of the police but, since they
have most always been given in the
early morning, their wish has not been
gratified. They will have chance on
Saturday The drills of the police are
certainly worth seeing.

QUARANTINE.

Perhaps the most striking survival
of past barbarism is quarantine. In
the closing years of the nineteenth
century-with our boosted sanitation
and remedial measures for the anne

alleged civilized nations should, on the
approach or menace of disease, cry

THAT VICIOUS REPORT.

| we repeat again, the statement We
made yesterday morning, that COM
mittee of the House, has made nine
principal charges, and four subor-
dinate, but equally serious charges
against the Superintendent of Public
Works; charges which if true, cover
him with public infamy, and upon in
dictment and conviction under the
criminal laws, would consign him to
prison;
That during the elaborate eX-
animation into the SuperinI end
ent's conduct, the Committee has,
at no time, furnished the Superin-
tendent either with copy of the
testimony taken against him, or a
copy of the charges which appear
in its report, nor did it intimate
to him that it would make any
charges against him.
This is in effect lynch law" 1t is
execution without trial.
The Legislature has full power to
investigate the conduct of the public
business. 1t has, moreover the legal
right, to condemn within constitutional
limits without hearing. 1t is supreme
in this respect, and can not be reached
or oYerruled by any other power ex-
cepting that of Public Opinion. This
power OF Public Opinion acts with more
or less force through the Press. When
the Legislative body attempts to con-
troll or crush, or hamper Public Opin-
ion, however harshly it may express
itself, it strikes at free speech. Just
at this point, the Supreme Court, ap-
pears, and under clear provisions of
the Constitution, takes the matter
out of the hands of the Legislature,
and protects free speech, COM
pletely and without fiinching. The
Legislature may recklessly ruin the
reputation of an official, by accusing
| him of a criminal waste of public
money in 'junketing trips" but when
it strikes at Free Speech, it strikes
against the steel pricks of the Consti-
tuition, and the Supreme Court calls a
halt.
Against reckless, unfounded charges
made by the Legislature, or By its COM
mittees, the accused has no means of
self defense whatever save only as the
Press, acting for the people, stands
before him or by him.
When the Legislature, or one of its
committees has seriously, deliberately,
and with an obvious sense of justice
condemned an official, the public will
stand by the Legislature. Even if the
official declares and offers proof of his
innocence, it may condemn him with
the assent of public opinion.
But an attempt to railroad" man
into infamy without giving him fair
play" cannot and will not be tolerated
The great source of municipal cor
ruption in the American States, is in
the Public Works Department. 1t is
the fostering sore on the body polite
1t has burdened cities and towns with
heavy debts for which there has been
no equivalent. Poor people are taxed
to pay these fraudulent debts.
This Department OF all needs the
vigilent protection of the Press and
the public. 1t is under the strongest
temptation, as most capable of cover
ing frauds, and is most liable to attach
from the men who want Doodle.

A CRITICAL MOMENT.

This paper has preached in season,
and especially out of season the very
disagreeable doctrine that the annexa-
ton movement was slow and gradual
on the part of the United States; that
its final success did not depend upon
the Insignificant condition of things
here, but entirely upon the wishes of
the American Nation in developing
their commercial interests in the Far
East, and the incidental advantage of
these Islands for strategic purposes.
This way of looking at the matter has
been thoroughly disapproved of by the
irrepressible element here, who have

A VICIOUS REPORT.

The Special Committee of the House
on Road Contracts and Public Works,
has made a report to the House in
which they charge the Superintendent
of Public Works with % negligence,
(2) wrongfully Withholding moneys
due for labor done, 80 bad construc-
ton of roads, favoritism in distri-
button or awards, incompetence in pre-
liminary surveys, Illegal seizure of
private property, "a Withholding
money from applications to legitimate
objects, % private banking with pub
lie moneys, (6) wronging contractors,
% prejudice and favortism, 50
presenting an unsatisfactory and I'M
reliable report, 60 ignorance of the
class OF work done by sub-contractors.
This report is signed by A. B.
Loebenstein, J. D. Paris, w. F. Pogue,
and L. L. McCandless.
Representative Isenberg refused to
sign it because, he stated, the Superin-
tendent had not had a fair hearing,
as we will show. 1t is a fact beyond
dispute that the Committee has been,
for some days, taking testimony, and
on one occasion, recently, called the
Superintendent before it and examined
him briefly.
At no time during this elaborate
examination, did the Committee
furnish the Superintendent with a
copy of the testimony against him,
or with d copy OF any charges
against him, nor, did it even init
mate TO him that it would make
any charges against him.
We do not discuss the merits OF
these charges. The Superintendent is
not now on trial before the public
/ but the Committee is on trial fol
deliberately convicting a man, without
giving him a hearing. The Commit
tee has acted as prosecutor, judge, and
jury, and made its judgment without
charge, information or hearing. 1t has
made an effort to ruin a mans charac-
ter, without permitting self defense.
What the true Anglo-Saxon, and
every righteous man insists on is fair
play and not foul play, that a man
shall not be convicted, as the Super
intendent has been in this report
without definite charges and an open
hearing. The President of the Re
public is entitled to it. So is the small
boy who steals a banana. Fair play

NEUTRALITY LAW

4 misleading anu CAlLAC4s AANO- ~
statement was recently made by one Of
our contemporaries regarding certain
application Of the laws Of neutrality.
The statement is this: The British
Government had proclaimed neutral
ity. and the escape OF the Alabama was
q violation OF the rule laid down by
the Government, and these Islands
have laid down no such rule"
This statement is a fat contradiction
of the authorities on International law
Wheaton. Hall, Lawrence and of the
statements contained in the published
case itself.
Great Britain proclaimed her neu-
trality and observed it as it was under
stood by her rulers. But as Lawrence,
one of the authorities says, the most
important maratime power in the
world was guilty of breach OF Inter
national Law without knowing it, and
while being informed by all her own
authorities that her conduct was per-
fectly correct"
While she had not violated her own
rules Of neutrality, as declared by her
own rulers. she had violated that In
ternational law which is not made by
one nation, but is the result of a very
general and often vague understand
ing by all nations.
The treaty of Washington which
provided for the Geneva award in the
Alabama" case, especially declared
that the issues should be tried by the
principles of International Law, and
not by any rules of neutrality which
Great Britain had recognized in her
own practice. The arbitrators held, in
deciding the case, that the British pre-
cedents and practice did not go far
enough, and were insufficient, and,
thereupon, they laid down stricter, and
more stringent rules Of neutrality than
had ever before existed. even more
stringent than the United States were
in favor Of
At a tine when our position is an
interesting, though not a dangerous
one, it IS just as well that we find out
what the law really is.
a State, according TO the well re-
cognized authorities, is under obliga-
tons Of neutrality, even if neutrality
is not proclaimed. Germany has not
proclaimed her neutrality, but she is
bound TO obey International Laws 1e-
garding neurals, so far as they bind
any nation, and so far as they are gen
orally accepted. These authorities say,
and in previous issues we have quoted
them, that International Law does not
yet cover certain articles, such as coal
OF food. France, in the Chinese war
declared rice to be conuaband. but
this is not considered good law. The
United States in her treaties has
agreed to consider certain articles con
traband, but Great Britain refuses to
follow her in all cases.
But all nations are agreed, and this
is International Law, that no country
can remain neutral, and allow itself
to become "a base OF operations" for
either belligerent. Should Hawaii ever
be called upon to meet the charge of
a violation OF neutrality, and besides
that, of breaking her treaty with
Spain, an event which is entirely I'M
likely to happen, she will be charged
as Great Britain was charged, in the
Alabama case, not with violating any
rules Of her own, but of disregarding
International Law.

Immediate annexation may now turn
on the simple question of peace or
war. The permanent occupation of
the Philippines, or the continuance of
the war Will probably secure immediate
annexation. There seems TO be no
way OF escaping from this conclusion.
Evidently Speaker Reed appreciates it
however much he may dislike it.
The danger of the postponement of
annexation lies in sudden peace,
which may occur at any moment.
Powerful influences are at work in
Europe TO compel the Spaniards to
abandon Cuba at once They may do
so, however improbable it appears to
us.
If within a few days, Cuba should be
abandoned, in all probability Manila
would be abandoned by the United
States, Admiral Dewey does not hold
an acre of land in the Philippines. He
simply holds the harbor and nothing
more. Should he be recalled, and the
Spaniards remain in possession, it will
not aid annexation, and may delay it,
though not permanently.
The restoration of peace within a
few days will, therefore be a matter
of great Importance to us, affecting
only the question of immediate an

We believe, be the first instance in
modern times of a nation deliberately
jumping on a treaty which provides
for arbitration. If a serious issue is
ever raised about it, it viii present a
novel question. If our unexecuted
agreement with the United States for
annexation has terminated our treaty
with Spain, it relieves us from the
charge OF being a nation, and the first
nation, TO violate a treaty which pro-
vided for arbitration. We hope of
course that the charge cannot be sus-
tanned. But we may as well look the
fact in the face, especially as we desire
the Americans to know that we have
not hesitated to sacrifice our honor"

1t is natural enough that Loebenstein

and failed TO prove it, is naturally the
man to father them. The father of
