THE VACANT C0LONELCY

According to the military law
of Hawaii, an election must be
held in the National Guard for a
successor to Colonel j. II. Fisher.
Such is the prescribed course in
time of peace. In war time, or
the forces being on active service,
the commander in-chief would
make an appointment. There
must be two weeks notice of the
election in the newspapers.
The position ought to come to
Lieutenant Colonel j. W. Jones
according to the rule of promotion.
No doubt if he stand he will be
elected.
President Dole has written a
very complimentary letter to Colo
mel Fisher in accepting his resig
nation. The retiring colonel left
no alternative 20 acceptance, as the
demands of business and health
were peremptory.

Congress is practically doomed to
despair. This in ell probability
means that Congress adjourned
last Saturday without having
taken action upon any bill either
special or general relating to Ha-
wall. Thus for fully year this
territory will run along under Il
sort of double eagle government
which is satisfactory to no one but
must, under the circumstances be
acceptable to everyone.
The forthcoming year will un.
questionably be prosperous one
for the business community il it
is not pleasing to the body polite.
The question of American sover-
eighty is settled thereby eliminat-
ing a serious element of fear for
the future from the business Gen.
ters. The chief industry of the
territory continues to receive the
benefit of a free market
in the United States, while
the low tariff rates of Hawaii and
the labor laws are not tempered
with in a way to upset the usual
channels of trade and labor.
Hawaii is allowed to wait another
year before tackling any serious
problems.
theoretically, the manifest duty
OF this period of waiting is to re-
peal such laws as may be at
variance with the probable ma
tional legislation, thereby antici-
pating the change which Congress
must create. Practically, Hawaii
should take the best of what 5 go
ing and make the most of it. AS
the millennium has not arrived,
even in Hawaii, the practical
course is doubtless the one that
will be followed.
The election Of September and
the Legislative session following
will furnish food for thought and
controversy and will give an OPP
portunity for the men elected by
the registered voters under the
Republic of Hawaii to give evil
dence of the character of Ameri-
cauism that exists after the
question of sovereignty is settled.

KAOMEA'S OPIUM FIND

Guard Kaomea is the happiest
man on the Custom House force

guard at the Pacific Mail wharf at
about 3:l5 yesterday afternoon,
Jules Smith, the colored cook, re-
Gently of the Edward O'Brien,
walked ashore from the City of
Picking and tried to 60 through
the gate. Kaomea had seen the
fellow wandering about on the
wharf and steamer aud stopped
him. Upon searching the fellow,
FIVE tins Of tho finest kind of OPT
um were found inside his shirt.
He was Immediately put under ar
rest and taken up toward to the
Custom House.
On the way up, Smith complain
ed to Inspector Drake, assistant to
the Surveyor for the month of
March, that he was a tool 10 the
hands of some men on the City of
Picking. He agreed to 60 back
and identify the men, which he
did. One of the Chinese boat
swains aud the carpenter, a white
man, we're taken to the Port Sur
veyor's office. There, the carpeut
err, who had refused to give any
information, began to weaken and
soon, the whole story was out. The
head boatswain, a Chinaman, was
the principal man in the transsc-
ton. The officers went down and
arrested the fellow.
Last night, the head boatswain
put up, through H.Hackfeld q Co.,
the sum of $3.50 as a bond for the
appearance of Smith. The copdi-
ton was that the colored man
should plead guilty. This he did
in the Police Court this morning.
A fine of $50 and costs was i'm
posed.
