inferentially, that congress ought to I'M
peach Secretary Alger. The meeting Of
congress is more than three months dis
tant, while the need of action is present
and emergent. This atrocious abuse of
the nations soldiers must be stopped at
once. The American people are in no
mood to await the assembling Of con-
gress, next December. when the execu-
tive is clothed with ample power to act
at once.
The special pleadings of Secretary AL
ger have become nauseating to the pub
lie. No plea in mitigation Is even toll
cradle in face Of the sickening facts that
meet the public eye. His voluminous
attempt at extenuation. nominally ad-
dressed to his friend Chauncey M. De-
pew, Is weak and puerile. The essence
of 1t is the claim that the magnitude of
the work devolving upon the war de-
partment made it impossible for him
to have cognizance of details.
Imagine Mr.. Depew rendering any such
excuse for Encouragement Of the great
Vanderbilt railway system Of which he
Is the executive head. A great railway,
or mercantile establishment, or any
other large business, moves as smoothly
as the trade of a peanut vender, If 1t
has a competent head. During the four
years Of the Civil war. compared with
which the late war was boys play, Ed
win M. Stanton handled the business
Of the war department without evok-
ing any such complaints as have come
up by the score within the term of Sec
rotary Alger. But there were no in
competents in the service of Stanton.
No political or personal friends of his
held in their hands the comfort, and
even life, of sick soldiers.
| 1t is on just that point that Secretary
Alger is now arraigned. Instead Of plac-
ing competent men In important posi-
lions, he filled the places with worth
less favorites. If he had selected sub
ordinates as his friend Mr.. Depew does,
for their thorough fitness and faithful
ness, we should not have heard Of Amer
lean soldiers dying of neglect, and even
StdTVdtlOus at ulduy uHleIcAt PoAHtS.
That we do not too harshly arraign
Secretary Alger we cite the testimony
Of one witness, and might add dozens of
others. The secretary Of the National
Relief commission, DR.. French, who has
just been at Montauk Point, says "the
men are actually suffering from want Of
food, and their sufferings are pitiful to
look upon" And at another point Of the
interview he says "the men have been
starved almost to DEATH" And all this
within two or three hours from New
| York!
| The emergency requires drastic meas
ures at the hands of President McKin-
ley. It is manifest that the war depart
ment is not only utterly mismanaged,
but there are strong indications that
nepotism and political favoritism have
bred corruption. Under these circum-
stances immediate action is demanded.
The exigency does not admit of delay
until the meeting of congress. The pres
ident has all the power necessary in the
premises, and the people look to him
for instant and heroic measures.

Maguire's Past Votes

Mr.. Mcguire was elected Judge Of the
superior court of this city in 1852. receiv-
ing 2l,613 votes, standing next to Judge
Coffey, while the highest vote for any OF
the Republican candidates for the bench
was 1879. We are willing to let this &c
as the effect of "a Democratic year." and
turn to the three elections in which Mr.
Mcguire has been a candidate for con.
gress. In these elections he was known and
the people had to cast their ballots on the
knowledge they had acquired by his SER
vice. Here are the figures in the Fourth
district from 1892 onward:

Our Republican contemporary The
Times, we fear, is making a mistake
in diplomacy and laying itself open to
the charge Of losing it's temper too early
in the campaign. Its reference to Judge
Mcguire as a sand-lotter and a south
Of Market-street tough is wholly un-
called-for and unjustifed. Judge Ma
CURES long and honorable career in
California is a sufficient answer to all
that sort Of talk, and the use Of un.-

the party In whose service they are en-
ployed. Fair plays jewel that the

A BRIGHT BURNER

to the good people Of Catalina island.
A few days ago the Late Prof" took
exceptions to a report from Catalina
published In The Herald. and he wrote
a somewhat brusque, not to say fiery
letter to the editor, saying:
notice what you say about me and
my friends but It is not Satisfactory. The
company and there hirelands have per-
cuted me father tonight and brought
about a disturbance Of the peace and
caused an Arrest.
The arrest was Of the scholarly pro.
fessor himself. fact which was duly
noted in our news columns. The late
prof. of Chicago Medical College
seemed to be somewhat perturbed as
to the way in which this unfortunate
affair might be reported, and he wrote
to warn The Herald against any "lyeing,
Mbillis artical' that might be sent in by
d Correspondent" He also indicated
delicately that The Herald would be held
"respondable" for strict narration OF
facts, and that "eny more Interpretations
from the aforesaid Correspondent" would
be hazardous.

rea son to believe. was unduly alarmed

HONOLULU, May A, 1898.
Hon. A. G. M. ROBERTSON,
Chairman House Committee
on Foreign Relations.
DEAR SIR: l submit for your
consideration the following objec-
tious to the Foreign Corporation
Bill:
The Bill expressly includes
"every corporation formed under
the laws of any foreign state," and
thereby includes, and was prob.
ably intended to include, corpora.
tons which have been doing bust
ness here for many years. Any
Legislative disturbance of the vest
ed rights of such corporations will
seriously affect the value of their
stock and property.
The Bill is a repetition of the
present statute as far as the provi
30 in Sect. 2. The proviso is sup.
erhuous as far as excluding from
the foreign corporation ANY of
the special powers conferred by
law upon banking corporations"
because no corporation, foreign
or domestic, can do banking
business except under a special
charter granted for that purpose
under the provisions of Chapter
XIII, Acts of 1884
The proviso that no foreign cor
poration shall be deemed to have
any powers conferred by law up
on domestic railroad corporations
is probably the principal object {
this Bill.
l represent one corporation, the
Maui Railroad q Steamship Co.,
incorporated under the laws of the
State of California and which has
taken all the steps requisite for
doing business under the law of
Hawaii. This Bill appears to be
aimed solely at the Maui Railroad
& Steamship Co.
l claim that no matter how pow
erful the corporate or personal in
terests which have been enlisted
in favor of this attack upon this
company, the attack is thoroughly
unwarranted and uncslled for, and
Is against the interests of the
public at large.
The provision in the bill requir
ing statements to be made by 9
foreign corporation such as are
made by domestic corporations il
unnecessary, since the present
law places foreign corporations
under the same disabilities" as
domestic corporations, which lat
ter are required by law to file GER
tain exhibits of their affairs. Sec
lion 144l, Compiled Laws.
As far as the bill proposes to
place foreign corporation doing
business in Hawaii under any dis
abilities which are not imposed
upon domestic corporations, or t.
give inquisltorial powers over {
foreign corporation not exercised
concerning domestic corpora
ton, the bill, l submit, would b,
unconstitutional and in violation
of treaty rights.
Yours truly,
(Sgd.) ALFRED s.. HARTwELL.
