VERY SUSPICIOUS.

The departure of Mr.. w. j. Coon
last evening indicates strongly that
there is something very "rotten in
Honolulu"
The man was arrested on charge
of having opium in possession.
About 1000 tins were found on his
premises. He was found guilty in
the District Court and sentenced to
imprisonment for three months and
to pay fine of $3.50.
An appeal was noted, and the
man released on a $1,000 bail bond.
Last night he coolly went on board
the steamer Gaelic under the eyes
Of the officials on duty there, and
left Honolulu for other chimes.
Not an effort was made to stop
him or to communicate with the
police or his bondsmen. The Col
lector-General aud his deputy state,
that no passports were issued to
Coon. That being the case, the
blame for his departure falls on the
Police Department altogether.
The Marshal may hold, that man
out on bail, has the right to go
wherever he pleases, as long as his
bond stays good. He may be right
in his contention. But no man has
right to leave this port without
passport and it is the duty OF the
Marshal to see that every man sail
ing from this port has complied
with the law relating to passports.
1t is to be regretted that such a
violation Of our laws has occurred
through the negligence of the Police
Department. The taxpayers, who
have had faith in the police officials
are getting very suspicious, and
they think it would have been
to the advantage of the reputation
of certain prominent firms here, if
the Marshal had done his duty, held
Coon here, and let him stand trial
even if he had squsaled on the "big
bugs" The present procedure is
simply disgraceful and should not
be tolerated for a moment by the
heads of the Government.
The officials OF the Custom House
who cleverly broke the "ring" and
caught Coon, feel justly discourage
ed 10y the action or rather non action
Of the Police Department. If any
man held for crime and admitted
to bail can leave the jurisdiction Of
the Court at his sweet will, the rich
men will have full swing and be able
to commit any bailable offense and
then clear out from the country.
We repeat however, that no per-
son under the law can leave the isl
ands without passport. and that
the captain of the Gaelic, as we'll as
the Police Department are liable to
fine and should besides be mulcted
in the sum which the bondsmen OF
Coon will loose.
There is something very "fshy''
in this whole transaction.

The culture of olive trees has not
gained much Roadway in Hawaii
heretofore. In the yard of the
Faxon Bishop residence in Nuuanu
valley is an olive tree, which was
planted some 30 years ago by the
late Mr.. Bolles. Every year few
fruits have been gathered and only
small interest has been taken in the
tree by the owner. This year the
tree is laden down with fruit and is
being admired by everybody. The
INDEPENDENT would be pleased to
learn how to cure the olives. We
would be very pleased to hear from
a Los Angeles or Southern Califor-
MIA man on the subject for the bene-
fit of the public.

To EDMUND NoRRIE, ESQ, Editor Of
The INDEPENDENT, Honolulu,
Sir:--I have to protest against
your remarks in yesterdays issue,
concerning the absence OF Repre-
sentative of the Republic at the
dedication OF the monument over
the grave of my regretted prede-
cessor.
The ceremony was exclusively rel-
gious and private. Prayers were said,
flowers arranged, and a photograph
OF the tomb taken to be sent to the
widow. There was nothing official
about all that, and 1 request you, as
per law, to insert my formal protest
against your remarks which are
entirely groundless, in fact, and
don't hesitate to say, vicious and
wrong in spirit.
Yours truly,
l.. VossIoN.

Some American newspapers are
indulging in criticism of the action
OF the German naval commander at
Manila. 1t would seem, after the
action OF Stevens and Wiltze in this
city in 1893, that the less Americans
say OF German methods the better
for consistency; but, then, Uncle
Sam has his war paint on and
"might makes right" until the war
paint is washed off. We shall see.
