AN EXPLANATION NEEDED.

We know, Of course, that we are
living uuder very funny" kind Of
government, but the methods OF
the officials are rather surprising,
even to us.
Yesterday the Chinese cook or
the British steamer Amur wanted
to leave his job; and by his perma
aent presence in Honolulu swell the
number of Asiatics now infssting
the islands.
The cook claimed that he was a
Chinese Britisher, and that the cap
tain OF the Amur was indebted to
him for services rendered in the
sum Of $72.
How to bring a suit to cover the
ground was evidently a puzzle TO
the learned attorneys engaged by
the friends OF the Chinese claimant.
The cook after deep consultation
brought a suit Gin admiralty" for
the amount claimed for wages in
the District Court and the papers
we're issued by Deputy Magistrate
Peterson.
1t is not necessary to mention
that the Amur-captain aud cook
left before the papers we're served,
but we do want to know how and
when the Deputy Magistrate receiv
ed the authority to sign any papers
when the signature Of the District
Magistrate was available, aud why
he submits suits in admiralty to the
District Court.
