The memorial OF the Planters
published this morning, accords
with the views OF the fourteen men,
bers of the Bar who adopted the
resolutions published elsewhere, and
discloses a plan of territorial close
corporation regime which will be
more unsatisfactory to the people
at large than even a government
dictated absolutely by the authori-
ties OF the Mainland, Either give
us the self-goverpment or deprive us
of it altogether. We are tired Of
rings and the control of the Oil
garchs.

yHE BARS DECISION.

The Present System of the Judiciary
to be Retained il Congress Will
Permit.
The adjourned meeting of men,
bers of the Bar was held this morn
ing, the Attorney-General presiding.
Messrs. Neumann, Hatch and Ballou
presented the following report
which after a long and thorough
discussion vas unanimously adopted
and the committee subsequently,
presented them to the Commission
ers in session:
Honolulu, 81. l., Sept 10, 1898.
To the Honorable Members Of the Ha-
1Oaiian Commission.
GENTLEMEN:-Acknowledging the
honor of the invitation extended by
the Commission to the Hawaiian
Bar to express their views on the
subject of the judicial system Of
Hawaii, we beg to submit;
That it is the sense Of the Hawai-
ian Bar that the judicial system Of
Hawai- shuuld be continued as mar
ly as possible as it exists at present
without any unnecessary change,
and we recommend;
First.-That the Supreme Court
of Hawaii shall continue to be a
court of last resort, excepting only
as to such matters as may be within
the jurisdiction of Federal Court.
Sscond.-That Federal Court be
established in Hawaii with the same
jurisdiction as that exercised by
Federal Courts in the several States.
Third.-That the present system
OF purely appellate Supreme Court
and Circnlt Courts for each Island,
and District Courts for each District
be preserved.
Fourth,-That the judges of all
courts OF record in the Territory
other than the Federal Judge be
appointed by the Governor of Ha.
waii, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate Of Hawaii, to
hold Office according to the present
tenures, and to receive such COM
pensation from the revenues of the
Territory as may be appropriated by
the Territorial Legislature.
The Attorney General having re-
ported the death of Hon. Antoine
Rosa, committee consisting OF the
Attorney-General, Enoch Johnson
and Hon. Cecil Brown was appoint
ed to draft memorial resolutions for
presentation to the Supreme Court
at the opening day of next session.
The Attorney General having sug-
gested the desirability of organizing
Bar Association, Mr.. S. M. Ballou
was appointed a committee to as
certain the plan of organization
adopted by the American Bar Asso-
citation, and to report at a special
meeting to be called for the purpose
of discussing the matter.

If, as the more sanguiue OF us are
entitled to hope from the invitation
OF the Commissioners to the Bar,
we are to have some liberal form OF
territorial government then a
system of quasi-home rule in our
judiciary will be most gratifying at
least to our vanity which most mo
destly considers ourselves to be the
most favored salt of the earth, espe.
cially if we happen to belong to the
missionary blue laws and family
compact clique.

We see, however, danger to the
