ABOUT HONOLULU PEOPLE,

be- remarks about Honolulu people
made in public. IN Hllo by Major
sague. representing the New York,
First Regiment. were quite ill-natured,
and not altogether true. When b" says
the regiment is not fairly treated by
the people OF Honolulu. he goes too far
In a dangerous generalization
Wherever a regiment is stationed In
garrison, there will always be friction.
more or less severe. between the civil
and military authorities. IL is useless
TO discuss II here The least friction
arises when the commanding officers
OF the post determine that there shall
be none.
When Major Sague says that the press
of Honolulu is unfriendly TO the New
York Regiment. he talks without
knowledge or sense. This paper has
constantly excluded from its columns
correct stories Of disgraceful scenes on
he street, and in the tram cars in
which men wearing the uniform OF the
New York Regiment were the actors.
The editor Of this paper saw two la
dies driven from tram car by the
loud. obscene language Of drunken
volunteer OF this regiment, while his
companions did not throttle him. We
also saw drunken member Of this
regiment spit tobacco juice on lady's
dress while in a car. II goes without
| saying. that men full OF rum are not
selected even In Orange county. y. Y
as the best models of propriety.
But we know. and every good citizen
knows, that the conduct OF the regl-
mcnt must not be measured by the
conduct OF some toughs who are un.
fortunately in IL. The press OF this
city has carefully excluded many OF the
doings of the disreputable members of
The regiment. A drop OF aniline, not
larger than a pins head. will color a
hundred gallons OF water. A few dis
reputable men may unfortunately cast
the character OF their better associ-
ates The ill-natured remarks Of this
officer force us TO unwilling speech.
But. the Advertiser and the good
citizens of this town. cannot afford to
take an unfair view OF the matter, or
resent these unfortunate remarks Life
Is TOO short for any quarrel over II.
The people of this town have coDtri-
buted vastly more. in proportion TO
their numbers, than any town of the
country in entertaining American sol
diers. They have the blessings of l5,-
900 men in Manik. They want and
hope to have the good will of the New
York Regiment, because 1t holds up the
nag. The thinking men Of the regl-
ment understand the situation. They
know. and we know. that the relations
of a transient visitor TO that Of perm
anent ncighbor are different affairs.

The very great majority OF persons

may occasionally be- mistaken, In its
prosecutions, but 1t has no interest in
conyicting the innocent The late
Judge Rollins OF n. v city conducted
criminal prosecutions IN innumerable
cases. for eight years and 10 we recsl-
lect rightly. never lost one Of them.
He never prosecuted case in which
there was reasonable doubt about con
yictiOn. The lawyers for the criminals
were always beaten. In three of the
celebrated murder cases OF the East
srn States, notably that of the killing
of DIR. Parkman by Professor Webster
OF Harvard College, the persons charg'
ed with murder would have escaped
from the gsllows u they had plead
guilty TO a lesser crime. This Is TN
opinion OF the old jurists. The law
yers "gambled" with the evidence ant
the clients neck paid the stake.
At the same time It must be sale
that lawyers are not popular and d'
not attract business. who use common
sense too freely in advising client
charged with crime. The person charg

PLEADING IN CRIMINAL CASES,

Wilbur, the defaulting treasurer of
the city of San Francisco, has bssn
convicted, and is now under a SEN
tence OF seven years service in the
State prison.
1t Is said that II he had plead guilty
to the charges against him, the SEN
tence would not have exceeded a period
Of tnree years.
This man fell into the hands Of an
incompetent lawyer A majority Of
criminals also fall into the hands Of
incompetent lawyers. Incompetence"
Is used in its larger sense, the inabil-
ity or indisposition OF the lawyer to
man naturally tries TO escape from the
penalty inflicted by law for his Of
Tense. He knows that the State must
prove him guilty, and II it cannot make
that proof, he will be acquitted, even
II In fact he Is guilty. His attorney II
bound, in the interests OF justice, and
by his professional honor, TO see that
the State proves Its charges. The at
torney may be satisfied that his client
is guilty, but he Is nevertheless bound
to see that the State proves Its case. II
Is often said that such an administra.
ton OF justice is wrong. But so long
as II Is the supreme law of the land
there must be no quarrel with It.
The disposition of the majority Of
lawyers Is TO gamble" with theli
cases, especially criminal cases. 1t II

SALISBURY'S MEANING.

Lord Salisbury's speech ut the Guild
hall spoken while his finger was on the
button that could instantly discharge
from battleships the greatest broadside
of modern warfare, was simple, homely
and singIlarly free from threats, or
brag. a few months ago. many of his
followers lost faith in him. The Press
ridiculed The Jingoes talked about
was timld and had been duped by Rus
STA and Germany. They did not see
that in his quiet negotiations, his fin
ger never left the button. and other ma
tons saw where his finger rested.
They even repeated the story told by
Foote of the conservative old English
man who suddenly met in the street
man who had frequently insulted him.
Sir" he said; you have cheated me
out OF money-you have slandered me
in public-you tried to drown me by
upsetting my boat-and, Sir. you ran
away with my wife. Now Sir, beware
how you arouse the sleeping lion" And
so they talked of Salisbury. But the
lion that did not sleep, has opened his
eyes a little.
The Premier's words regarding the
policy OF the United States need some
He says that he be-
lieves they will now become involved
in foreign complications and perhaps
wars. He does not complain of It. But
he makes the significant statement that
the new policy of expansion is likely
Britain" He does not explain the
meaning of these words. He leaves
his hearers to guess AT II. He knows
that the expansion movement has not
been taken 10 help the British. What
IL his meaning?
The expansion movement began in
the desire 10 aid humanity. But ey-
ents and results, like an erring woman,
have laid two great wild dark found
lings on the doorstep OF the Republic
Cuba and the Philippines. The nursing
and the feeding and the training OF
these enormous and unwashed found
lings, in the just hope Of making them
stalwarts In the future, involves new
duties, and obligations.
II IL quite possible that Lord Sails
bury sees in all this the breaking down
of the protective system. For II the
5000, 900 OF the Filipinos are regu-
lated and educated. their large produc-
ton will demorali2e the protective SUI
gar tariff. II on the other hand, these
millions, and the Cuban million, have
a free trade, then they are open to Brit
ish commerce. The British will delight
in permitting the United States to in
cur great labor and expense in prepar'
ing the FilipinOs to become producers
and consumers, II the trade with them
is left open to the world, just as the
trade OF China is 10 be open TO tn,
world. Lord Salisbury perhaps wishes
to say, even II he does not say Il: I'VE
have had an everlasting bother with
colonies. I'm really glad to see Brother
Jonathan take up those wild found
lings and nurse them on his bottle
