We were interested in some classif-
cations we saw in The Atlantic.
Writing of comedy, the author ex-
presses surprise at the decay OF neg
Iect of comedy. To write comedy sue
cessfully in novel or play, there must
be a rich fund of humor, and it is the
fewest number of writer's who are we'll
endowed with that winning, delightful
peare, in that as in all other greatest
qualities, was supremely endowed,
and his plays, tragedies and comedies
and histories, all TEEN with richest,
most rollicking, most brilliant hui
NOR. Says The Atlantic in the class
ics we find great comedy as sure as
great tragedy" and it, is added:
shakespeare and Cervantes stand
: alone; after a long interval come Mo-
Here, Fielding, Dickens. If we con-
slider the books which have been
proved by their popularity to be &C
sceptable to men, we find that Robin
sson Crusoe, Pickwick Papers, Huckle-
berry Finn, have called forth more
gratitude than most sad stories ave.
Miss Austen's fame is as secure as that
of any English novelist except Sir
Walter Scott, and she has written only
comedies"
In our opinion Scott next to Shakes
peare had more genuine gift of com
edy in it's highest manifestations, and
created more delightful characters
I'm which the humorous plays SO i'm
portant a part than any other writer
an all literature. Among English
writers we would place Dickens next
TO him. We hope the love of Dickens
will never die out, although there are
some latter day critics who greatly
4alisparage him as well a. Scott. Re-
Gently an English novelist named
Moore, of some p~retension, said he
could find nothing in Scott but read
able novels. That may be the cause
of his own ability to catch the eye OF
the reading world. Possibly the very
things he sees in Scott are the very
things he lacks to give him popularity
and to endow his books with power
ahat enthrals and holds.

The "narsty" Hancock scandal at
Newborn has been covered up but not
smothered. 1t does not relieve Han
cock of an unpleasant odor, for no re-
traction of the plaintiff is made. The
Newbern correspondent of the Raleigh
News and Observer telegraphs on 18th
inst:
1.-THE attorneys had entered the re-
cord with the complaint in good faith
and refused to withdraw the case from
the court, and give notice to the
plaintiff, Mrs. Abbott, that upon fur
ther written assurance Of her volun-
tary action in the matter that they
would feel compelled to withdraw as
counsel in the case. The plaintiff stat
ed that she wished the suit withdrawn
and upon this action the counsel petit
toned the court to allow them to re-
tire as counsel from the suit.
This does not help the scandal a bit

GOVERNMENT LOSES.
Decision on a Demurrer Point in
a Wharf Case.

Judge Stanley has rendered the fol-
lowing decision in the injunction suit
of the Government VS.. the Oahu Rail
way and Land Company:
In this case the defendant inter-
posed a demurrer to the plaintiff $
bill, which demurrer was by the Court
oyerruled on March %, 1898, on the
ground, inter ALA, that the bill con-
tanned certain allegations of facts
which could not be decided at that
stage. One of these allegations was
to the effect that the use to which
the plaintiff intended TO put the prem
ises in controversy was more neces-
sary public use than that for which
they were sought to be condemned by
the Company. This, the plaintiff con-
tended, was conclusion of law, but
the Court held that it was an allega-
ton OF fact requiring proof. On the
trial Of the cause the plaintiff intro
duced certain correspondence between
the parties prior to March Is, 1890,
the date of the lease between the par
ties Of the premises in question, and
thereupon rested.
THE defendant introduced evidence,
the purport of which was to deny the
superior use OF the plaintiff in the
premises, and rested. This evidence
the plaintiff refused to cross-examine,
and at the close of defendants case
consented in open court to a formal
decree being entered against him, dis
missing the bill.
The Court in its decision on the
demurrer ruled that the lease above
referred to did not in itself constitute
a waiver on the part of the defendant
OF its right subsequently to condemn
the demised premises.
In view of the plaintiffs consent
TO a formal decree against him,
have not considered the question as
to whether the correspondence intro
duced by him does or does not show
such waiver.
Upon such consent 1 hold that the
plaintiffs bill should be dismissed
with costs. Decree accordingly"

are not specially wanted, You know
the reason why.
think YOU are honest in your be-
lief that the sons" are largely re-
sponsible for the presence of the Asia
tics. But if you will look over the tax
lists, YOU Will find that these sons
do not own tenth of the property
here, and very few of them are rich.
1t was your own King Kalakaua, that
negotiated the Introduction of the Jap
aneSe into these Islands. And when
he put that adventurer Moreno into
his Cabinet in 1881, il was because
that adventurer proposed an immigra-
ton Of $4,000 Chinese. and big loan
from China. The haole with the aid
of the sons" stopped it by threats.
So you must not charge the sons"
with creating your troubles. You will
find. if you look closely, that the
haoles who have married natives. and
the part natives and the natives them
selves are employing Asiatics. The
natives especially are willing TO rent
their land to them. and live in town on
the rents received. Can the "sons"
prevent it? The natives seem to lose
money like other races and have never
hesitated TO get it from any source.
do not say that the sons" or the
better class of haoles, have discharged
their whole duty TO the natives. But
you cannot find in any part of the
world, an instance of greater, more
continuous. or generous charity than
that of the stronger 10 the weaker
race, on these Islands. during the last
sixty years. l know the majority of
the natives would today be willing to
be treated as paupers, and be sup
ported at the public expense. But it
would be a misfortune to them to
treat them so. The greatest good, in
my opinion that could be done for
them, would be encourage them to go
back upon the land, and raise their
own food. But will they do it? Ger
tainly not The President of the Re
publis has romantic attachment for
the native race. But he finds that it
is not the natives that desire land on
Hawaii, but the other races. Even in
Kona when they may easily raise their
own supplies, and cultivate coffee, and
the women might be relieved of press
ing wants. they refuse to take up land,
but flock to the city.
SO long as there is an abundance
of good land to be had by the natives,
almost for the asking, on Hawaii and
elsewhere, the Asiatics cannot crowd
the natives. The sons and daughters
too of the missionaries have been al
ways willing to aid the natives in the
right way, but they do not desire to
pauperize them.
There has been undoubtedly an err
ror in the system of education here,
an error that exists largely in other
countries, of educating the head alone,
and not the hand. in educating the
people to increase their wants." with
out educating them how to supply
these wants" VIII the natives, even
if educated in ways of supplying their
wants, show thrift and industry, and
be willing TO abandon the town and
90 upon the land? Even if there was
a factory for sewing kid gloves in this
town, how many of the native girls
would make themselves proficient in
the business2
1 have not settled the question"
but only present some considerations
regarding it.
