enforcement Of minor municipal penalties
for infraction Of ordinances, and claims for
sums OF less than $3.50 brought by or
against minor tradesmen. The Judge being
a resident of the district in which his SER
vices were rendered, had constituents OF
his either as litigants or witnesses, some
times both, and, in man. instances, no
doubt, was embarrassed in deciding cases
and motions on their merits simply.
The amended Constitution Of 1904 made
no change involving the Judges OF the
minor civil courts Of New York, but the
trainers of the charter, in section 1870,
devised a method which has now gone into
effect Of doing away with the former
difficulties by prescribing "a rotation for
Judges" whereby the duties of these Dis
trict Court Magistrates will be performed
in other districts than their own. In this
city at present all the Civil Judges,
under the rules established by the newly
constituted Board of Judges of the Mu-
nicipal Courts, are holding sessions else
where than in their respective districts,
and this is to be the permanent rule.
Whether In practical operation 1t will
work better than the system which 1t
supersedes Is n question which will be de-
termined very soon; but In the meanwhile
1t Is interesting to note as one Of the results
established by the new charter that there
are no longer any local courts in New York,
the Judges of which serve only In certain
districts. All the Judges Of minor courts,
civil or criminal, exercise what may be
called general Jurisdiction throughout the
county.

VENEZUELA'S FIREBRAND.
Revolt Kiadled by Hernandez Does Not Burn
BriakIy.

BriskIy.
Further news reached here yesterday Of the re-
cent attempts by Gen. Manuel Hernandez, one Of
the candidates for President Mt the last election
in Venezuela, to stir up a revolt in that country.
After his defeat by Gen. Ignacio Andrade, Her.
nandez accused the latter of obtaining the
Presidency illegally. He appealed to the Su-
preme Court of Venezuela, but that tribunal
decided that Andrade was entitled to the office.
Hernandez thereupon set out to stir up a revolt
against President Crespo, the retiring Presi-
dent. in order to prevent the seating of Andrade.
He is reported TO have travelled all over venez.
uela In his effort to gain followers. but so far
the revolt appears TO be of small proportions.
Hernandez was a carpenter by trade. but be-
came O General In the revolution which made
Crespo President. Crespo appointed him to a
number of offices: Differences soon arose be.
tween them. and Hernandez was forced to leave
Caracas in 1894. He came to New York and
published several fiery pamphlets against
granted amnesty to all political exiles on the
occasion Of tho birthday OF the emsncipator,
Monagas. Hernandez returned to Venezuela.

More Monsters.

Careless of the thunders Of the Hon.
RICHARD CROKER, the Hon. POTATO Pm
GREE, and the other foes of trusts, repre-.
sentatives of fifteen out of the twenty
American manufactures of steel wire, rod,
and nails met in this town last week, and
proceeded to organize the American Steel
and Wire Company, with a capital not to
exceed $4,000, 600.
Judge GARY of the Consolidated Steel and
Wire Company, one of these offending
m~onopolists, had the impudence to say that
he had mo doubt that prices will go down
within a short time after the corporation
is in working order, and at the same time
there will be a reasonable profit
The trust that puts prices down is the
worst, most diabolical, and intolerably
octopodic of all trusts. For the trust that
puts prices down tends to make the people
believe hat trusts are not the root of all
evil and the sum of all villainies. Trusts
of laborers and farmers to put up prices are
all right, but trusts to put down prices are
all wrong and the wrongest of all. For
particulars, consult any of the bold har.
pooners now churnfng the seas of anti.
monopoly.
A reasonable profit, says Judge GARY.
No profit made by a corporation is to be
esteemed as reasonable. Profits must not
on any account go to stockholders, but to
"the producing classes"
There is something chilling, an Alpine
enormity Of assurance, in the spectacle of
the representatives of a number of corpora
tions meeting at a plutocratic hotel and
forming a trust. There must be a moral
apoplexy among the Bryanites in the
Legislature since this monster was born.

MANY FLAG RAISINGS.

The present flag raising will be
final There have been a good many
flags raised over Hawaii. Over
hundred years ago Vancouver raised
the British flag. Later the Russians
raised their flag at Honolulu and at
Waimea, Kauai. Then the British
held occupation under Lord George
paulet. Then we had the two months
now we have the final and irrevocable
amalgamation with the United States,
and may Old Glory float proudly over
this advance post of Western civillza-
ton for many a century to come.
Looking at the past one can but
realize how slight has been the ten
ure of monarchy upon these Islands.
1t was only in the forties that they
emerged from barbarism, from the
condition of such groups as many of
the South Sea islands are today. Only
few years after they had been rec
ognized as belonging to the family of
nations their own sovereign was try
ing to make a deal for annexation to
| the United States, and from that time
on there has ever been annexation in
| the air-as it were. The true, recog-
nized Hawaiian monarchy, lasted just
! fifty years.
From today we enter upon an en-
tirely new regime. The past with its
successes and its mistakes. is a sealed
book, to be put upon the shelf and
consulted as an historical curiosity

FINS.


Today is the last issue of The Star
under the Hawaiian Republic. To-
morrow it will be issued as one of the
papers of the United States of Ameri-
ca, and will be entitled to a place
among American journals. One nat
urally becomes reminiscent at such a
moment as this. The great issue for
which The Star was established has
been fought and won. The Star has
faithfully stood as the exponent of its
party during the whole period of its
existence. 1t has always believed in
the value of annexation. and it has
preached annexation week in and
week out for years.
1t will take all people little time
to settle down into new conditions.
There will naturally be changes, but
the changes will be gradual, and we
will accommodate ourselves to them
as the years go on. The very conserv-
alive amongst us will not like the
changes, but the progressive will. The
strong conservative never wishes for
any change. Were he to have ruled
the world, we should still be living
in caves, for no doubt the conserva-
tive cave man objected to the progress
sive cave man who took to building a
hut, but the law of the world is
change. Times change and we change
with them.
past will bother us no longer. We
shall no longer be hanging on to in
dependence by our eyelids, wondering
what power would snap us up eventu-
ally. We retain our independence
but we have the strong arm of the
United States to help us keep that in
dependence. Instead of being single
stick easily broken, we now form q
portion of a big bundle, which it is
impossible to break.
1t is all nonsense talking about los
ing independence through annexation

Union, is Independent and inter-de

age our internal affairs to suit our

In every public function the re-
porters of the press are accorded
proper accommodations where they
can hear and see to the best advant-
age. Since they are,the eyes and ears
of the public this is their proper due.
The reporters are more important at
a public function that. any one pres
ent, as a fact, because they are The
historians of the event, and upon
them depends the proper statement
of what takes place. At the White
House in Washington a special room
is set aside for the press. At the in

coronation of the Gar, at the Queens
jubilee, every facility was allowed to

The beet sugar export of Germany
for the year 1897 was probably the
