The Late Elections.

The election means more a vote
OF lack of confidence in both parties
than anything else. 1t is a clear
admonition to the Republicans that
they have weakened their hold upon
public approval. In such power as
has been restored to the Democrats,
it has placed them under bonds for
good behavior They are in more
delicate position in what they have
gained than the Republicans are in
what they have lost. The Demo-
Gratis are in imminent danger of so
misusing their victory in the national
house, assuming them to have gained
one, that it will turn to worse than
ashes in their grasp; it may be the
means OF injuring them irreparably
with the country. We said before
the election that it would be unfort-
unate for them to win this victory,
and we based the opinion on the
belief that the Democratic party
was not yet in a position to make a
good use OF it. 1t is a tentative
trial of the Democrats. There is
! the appearance of substantially

A w oman Killed.

The body Of Japanese woman
was found in canefeld at Waianae
yesterday. The woman had evil
IDENTIFY been killed by violent blow
on her head The authorities in
Honolulu were notified of the Incl
dent about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
just in time for Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth to catch the train for
the scene of the murder Particulars
Of the outrage we're telephoned to
headquarters during the evening,
and at IL p. NJ, Mr.. Chillingworth
had finished his investigation, and
placed the husband Of the murder
ed woman under arrest, and had
locked up two men, whose evidence
will be wanted.
There had been considerable ill,
feeling between the woman and her
husband, and the evidence against
him is very strong.
The morning paper follows its re.
Gently adapted style Of journalism
by indicating that the news OF the
murder reached the authorities at
10 o'clock in the morning, and there
by insinuatng that the evening
papers were "scooped" by the morn
ing paper. The Advertiser should
stick 10 its coon-cat business. As a
newspaper it is now miserable
backnumber, and the means adopted
by it recently, in throwing discredit
on the evening papers, are as con-
temptible as they are futile.

about it, yet there is nothing sub
stantial in it further than as an
indication of improved popular
feeling toward them. If they justify
this by judicious action, something
better for them may come out OF it,,
but it looks more to us as If it has
been won prematurely for Demo
cratic party advantage, and is more
likely to prove a Republican bless
ing in disguise than to bear enduring

FRIDAY, DEC. 16, 1898.
THE O. j. AND CHINESE.

IHE INDEPENDENT cannot plead
guilty to having ever expressed
much aloha or shown much rever.
ence for the Chief Justice of the
Hawaiian Islands. That is no rea-
son, however, why when he does
manly act we should not raise our
hats to him in recognition Of the
fact. We venture to think that he
has, in the Chinese Habeas Corpus
cases, rendered decision which will
not only "hold water" but entitle
him to recognition as sound lawyer
by his peers in the United States
and Great Britain. The case was
difficult one, and expediency and
thoughtless political ambition might
in the hands of weaker man have
urged decision more in accordance
with demagogic views and Injurious
to the good credit and good faith Of
Hawaii and the United States. The
decision OF the Chief Justice was
dictated in the spirit of fair play
and equity and he may review his
action with the satisfaction that he
merely did his duty. We know now
that Chinese immigration to these
islands is absol lutely prohibited since
the passage of the Newland's Reso-
luton, and those Chinese who will
be admitted on permits granted by
the Hawaiian Government prior to
its passage will not increase our
number. We know that the Chief
Justice will have to bear the brunt
of the indignation OF the thought
less and be stigmatized as being
pro. Chinese and in favor of the
planters and be politically doomed
il we are to be ruled by demaeogues,
but so long as he does right he will
be supported by his opponents on
the conservative side. AS an illus
tration of one class OF sentiment, we
are constrained to publish the fol.
. lowing which was handed to us by a
professional man at the beginning
Of the week, but which for obvious
reasons was not used during the dis
cussion OF the case. 1t is amusing
and not seriously dangerous:
"Now, Mr. Chief Justice Judd,
you are fairly face to face with an
issue. An issue that cannot be
lodged. An issue that 60,000000 OF
Americans have passed upon by
their representatives and with bated
breath your decision upon the ques-
ton OF contract labor is awaited by
the longsuffering "haoles" of these
islands, and it will be heralded to
the millions, who without the
ermine, and the dignity and pano-
poly that hedges about a Judge
have already placed their stamp OF
Judgment on the very issue now be-
fore you. know that you are in a
hot corner. That on one side the
syren OF Expectancy sings her lay
while the more practical, prosaic
spirit OF Policy sits at the portal
beckoning with his iron rod the way
thou shouldst go. There is no mid
die ground now. No brothers o.
the ermine to consult. Thou stand
est alone; thou and the Issue
Which shall it be3 The expediency
that seeks the planters hand or the
Policy that marks the dawn of pro
gress in this hotbed OF slavery anc
