Daniel NJ. Burns was mentioned there was an outspoken indignation at the possibility which MT, Holbrook believed would work irreparable injury to the State and to the Republican party. He said:
 There is nothing can add to MT Burns record, for it has been thorough ly ventilated already. It seems. incredi- ble that such a man could be chosen to represent California in the upper house of Congress. Laying aside his reputa- tion he is utterly lacking in the require ments essential to be of service to the State in that body.
 But the great. thing is his awful rec ord. It has become known to all the world and how could we hope to ever regain our self-respect were we to send a willful transgressor of the laws of two countries to represent us in the Senate? It would take many, years for California to recover from the stigma; it would disrupt the Republican party in the State

 CAUSE LITIGATION
UNAUTHORIZED AGREEMENTS
 CREATE TROUBLE.
Rudolph Spreckels Accused of Ex- ceeding His Authority as Pres
 ident of a Big Company.

Suit has been filed by the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company against the Maui Railroad and Steamship Com pany and Rudolph Spreckels to declare null, void and fraudulent certain pur- ported agreements entered into between the corporations, such so=called agree ments having been made without the Knowledge of the plaintiff but with the full knowledge of the defendant. The suit involves title to valuable lands and the use of railroads near Maui, H. l., which both companies claim but which it ap- pears from the complaint rest legally with the plaintiff corporation.
 In February of the present year, it is averred in the complaint, Rudolph Spree kels was the president of the plaintiff corporation. While, So officiating, when in Honolulu, he communicated with the Maui Railroad and Steamship Company, having headquarters in this city, stating that as the president and attorney in fact of the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, he could offer, on behalf of the corporation which he represented, certain valuable lands near Maui, H. l., in ex- change for 800 shares of the capital stock of the Maui Railroad and Steamship Com pany, which he (Spreckels) would hold in trust for the company. In second com munication. written the same day, Ru- dolph Spreckels offered to lease a railroad twenty miles in length. running from Spreckelsville into the sugar lands, for certain specified compensation. Subse- quently agreements or contracts, in ac- cordance with the communications re- ferred to, were drawn up and signed by a representative of the defendant corpora tion and Rudolph Spreckels, as president and attorney in fact of the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company.
 The facts surrounding the agreements finally became known to the various stockholders of the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, and they decided to bring suit to declare the agreements null and void The 300 shares of stock ac- oepted by Rudolph Spreckels in exchange for the title of the lands referred to were never turned over to the company, it is alleged, and. furthermore, the agreement was never authorized y the company This stock received by Rudolph Spreckels in exchange for the lands has been trans ferred to a third party, it is further set forth, and has been withheld from the company for unassigned reasons. Tn the prayer of the complaint the court is asked to declare the agreements null and void and to adjudge that the agreements work as a fraud against the interests of the company and for general relief.

VTT ILLIAM DUANE, a retired \NI shoemaker, who has been run w ming printing establishment in
 the rear of his residence, 91 South Park Is lying dead a the Morgue as the result of injuries received in a row with Assemblyman- elect C. F. Kennedy of 544 Bryant street yesterday morning. The lat ter was arrested and charged with man. slaughter, but was released on his own recognizance soon after being taken to the Central station by Judge Mogan.
 The squabble which resulted in the death of the old man occurred at 10:40 in the morning, near the corner of Third and Grammar streets. There were many people in the vicinity but the affair oc- cured so suddenly that the first intima- tion any one had of the catastrophe was when they saw Duane lying on the side walk and Kennedy bending over him. Even then it was not thought that the old man was seriously injured.
 A crowd quickly gathered and in answer to questions put by Officer James OCon-

MACK's SEAT CONTESTED.
Democratic Assemblyman From the |; Sixtieth District Must Def nd
 uic pJooa

Notice has been given that the seat of Assemblyman P. H. Mack is to be con- tested Mir. Mack is a resident of Inde- pendence and was elected to represent the Sixtieth Assembly District, which comprises the counties of Mono, Inyo and Alpine. He was elected to the seat by a majority of fifteen votes over his Re publican opponent, Finlay McIver. Mack was the fusion candidate. and the contest between himself and McIver was spirit ed and occupied the attention of voters in a degree second only to the contest be- tween the gubernatorial candidates. Both men are well known and equally popular. a fact that Is made apparent by the close vote recorded. The contest brought by McIver will be one of the in- teresting features of the opening days of the Legislature, particularly so if an ef- fort is made to secure decision of the matter in time to allow the contestant, should he be successful to cast his vote for United States Senator.

didates to vote for Robert N. Bulla. Dur ing the campaign this committee by res oluton instructed speakers to discuss this feature and urge that a vote for our can didates meant the support of Bulla, which was done. There has been no departure from this course or change in sentiment of the committee, and local sentiment strongly supports the action of the con- vention. BRADNER w. LEE, Chairman Republican County Committee. SANTA BARBARA, Dee. 27.-Editor Call: Our committee simply voted that, as body, it was. opposed to the election of D. M. Burns to. the Senate In view of the fact that the respectable press of the State. with hardly an exception, de- nounces him as d gambler and sporting man, as well as an all-round trickster, it seems to me there can be no question about his candidacy being a disgrace to California. My own. opinion is that if Burns is as painted by the papers .ne would be as much out of place in the United States Senate as John l.. Sullivan would be as Mayor of Boston A State that, has been represented in. the Senate . by: such men. as. Stanford, Perkins or White cannot afford to elect to that ex- alted position a sporting man and a very .disrepqtable one at that.

HAWAIIAN CONSTITUTIONS.

The first constitution of the Hawaii
an Islands was proclaimed fifty-eight
years ago last Saturday. This per
iod of time in the history Of nation
is insignificant This constitution was
the public record andN evidence of the
frary rule The forces that established
it were from without, and not from
within. 1t was not the native who did
it, but the alien with benevolent pur-
poses. To the native chiefs, as well as
to the people, it was a surprise, for it
expressed in clear and definite Ian
guage only ill-defined thought. 1t is
even doubtful whether the common ma
tive, serf as Ahe was, had any aspira-
tons for liberty, for he did not know
what it meant
The men who drew the instrument
and recommended it's adoption, and
the King and the chiefs who accepted
it, and made it law, for reasons which
they deemed sufficient, established a
legislative body consisting Of fifteen
hereditary mobiles, and only seven rep
ment utterly deprived the people of
any control in the administration of
affairs, and simply served to give them
an opportunity TO express their opin-
ions in public.
The constitution of 1852 was drafted
by DR.. c. 2. Judd, John Ii and Chief
Justice Lee. 1t retained the power in
the hands of the King and MOBILES Of his
own appointment.
The third constitution, not adopted
by the representatives of the people,
but arbitrarily promulgated by King
Kamehameha V, in 1864, modified the
property qualification, and that of read
ing and writing.
Altogether there have been three
constitutions established over this
handful Of Hawaiians within fifty-six
years, followed by, and ending in, the
creation of Republic, and annexation
to the United States. So brief has been
the national life, in the garb and cloth
ing of civilization, it will, in the dis
tant future, be remarkable in histor
ical writings for it's brevity. But even
this brief national life as civilized
state furnishes some rare material for
illustrating what the botanists would
call the crossing" of AngloSaxon in
stitutions upon the Polynesian.

THE KINDERGARTEN

Those who are conducting the kind
ergarten schools are building wiser
than they know. If FrOebel were alive
and could inspect them, he would mar
vel at their efficiency and use.
1t is not necessary to admit all of
the claims which its advocates make
for the system. 1t is enough that it is
most valuable and is solving many
problems in the education OF the races
that have hitherto remained unsolved
1t utilities that period n the child's life
for the preparation of skill in the arts
and trades, which hitherto has been
wasted, to the injury of the child, the
parents, and the community. 1t is the
grand movement of modern philan-
thropy against the evils of poverty
For poverty is the synonym of ignOr-
ance. No intelligent community should
contain paupers. Therefore, the kind
ergarten is the first barricade erected
against want and crime and intemper-
ance
One sees in these schools. established
at this late day of the worlds life, how
limited the wisdom of the world has
been. We have been shouting about
our progress, and wealth, and national
grandeur, while the statesmen and the
people failed to recognize the force of
this humble system in recognizing So
ciety, and building up communities
Even today, the people are more inter
ested in the doings of a battleship
than in the work of a system, which
marks the beginning of the end Of
human misery. AS true religion can
not flourish where there is ignorance
and poverty, the Kindergarten becomes
the Apostle of true religion, though the
child does not hear the name of God,
and learns of Him only through His
physical manifestations, and through
consciousness Of moral law.
