RESTRAINING ORDER ASKED BY J. B. GREER AGAINST
 J.B MILLER, EFT AL.
BREACH OF AGREEMENT.
Alleged by the Plaintiff as Cause of Action-Charges Collus-
 ion Between Defendants

This morning (lhursday) in the Jefferson Cbancery Court a com plaint was filed by J. B. Greer, agalnst s. Bluthent thai & Co.,, and J. B. Miller, in which the plaintiff cnarges coHusion between the de fendants Miller and Bluthenthal to the extent that after plaintiff noti- fled defendants of the breaking of the contract on tho part of the co defendant Bluthenthal & Co.,, they still continued tofurLishMiller plan- tation supplies notwithstanding the protests made by the plaintiff.
 The gist of the complaint seems to be that the plaintiff leased and let his plantation to Miller with the understanding that Miller was to pay plaintiff 120 bales of cotton of the weight per bale of 800 pounds. Due and payable October 15 1899, this fact is evidenced by Miller's three promisory notes.
 Miller, so the complaint alleges and charges, was not able to rua the plantation in the way of furnishing it ard plaintiff being informed of the fact aided Miller to the extent that plaintiff entered into an agree ment with Bluthenthal & Co.,, who were to furnish Miller supplies, wares. merchandise and moneys necessary for the running of said plantation, that plaintiff waived his landlords lien in order that Miller might be able to make and gather his crops. From the complaint the charge is made that plaintiff was to receive $250,O0 for the first month and $2OO,0O for each succeeding month.
 Greer, the plaintiff, found by call ing on Bluthenthal & Co.,, so the complaint alleges, that Miller, the co. defendant, was indebted to Blu thenthal & Go. in the sum of $1683 15, which is, so it 1t alleged, contrary to the agreement entered into by plaintiff and defendant.
 Bluthenthal, however, continued to furnish defendant Miller with supplies until Oct. 6, 1899, when the amount reached $2118.28. Again on the 1Jth day of October 1899 de- fendant furnished Miller with mon eys and provisions to the extert of $96 98.
 Plaintiff further charges that what was furnished Defendant Miller by bis co-defendant Bluthenthal & Co, was exorbitant, unnecessary aud unreasonable for the running of the plantation and that such were not got by Defendant Miller for the running of the Greer place but some of same Tor n private use and foc such private purposes.
 Plaintiff charges in his complaint collusion between the co-defendants Miller and Bluthenthal x Co.,, for the purpose of defeating plaintiffs claim for rent and supplies due him as aforesaid.
 Plaintiff therefore, in chancery this morning asks restraining order, temporary, be issued herein. He also asks that receiver be ap pointed by the court tu gather and market the crop aud hold the pro- ceeds thereof subject to the orders of the chancery court.

MODIFYING HOME RULE.

Connecticut sets an example of the
liquidation Of the doctrine of Home
Rule in some Of her political appoint
ments.
The warden of the States prison re-
signed recently. because his son was
sentenced to Imprisonment within 1t.
The authorities, after looking over the
lis, of applicants, selected and offered
the place to Mr.. WOlfer, the supern-
tendent of the states prison of Min
neSota an. with il offered large
salary, Mr.. Wolfer finally declined.
The place was then offered to Mr.. Gar
vim of Indiana, who held an excellent
record as assistant superintendent of
the State reformatory. lie has accept
ed the offer The people of the State,
although in favor Of the appointment
Of residents only 10 the public offices
of the State, cordially approve OF this
appointment OF nonresident to the
office of warden OF the State prison.
With this example before II, it must
be conceded that Hawaii should not be
bisoted In the endorsements OF home
rule, and the Office OF superintendent
Of the Reef" should be open to any
nonresident who has peremptory
call" to take care of us
Warden Henry OF our Reef" has
admirably conducted its affairs, and
is entitled for that reason to a per-
manent place. but. it will be remem-
bered, that he was one of those who
We're identified with our late political
troubles" and, according TO a doctrine
Inat was seriously announced here
last August, has disqualified himself
as Mr.. Dole has disqualified himself
for the same reason, for position of
trust in the new government.
There has been, We all know, fam
ishing hunger displayed for the
pork which Is said to be concealed
in the Office of governor of this Ter
ritory. But President Mckinley may,
under fatal and misguiding influences,
allot the pork" to Mr. Dole
should he do 50, 1t may be necos-
sary to provide other pork" for some
nonresident. it may then be oppor-
tune for Mr.. Henry to be displaced
from his Office on the Reef" and 2

any connection with our political
troubles" be installed in his place

We recall now the elegant words OF
Blsnop Hall, uttered from the pulpit on
the su1len death OF lovely Princess
Charlotte in 1917. In whom was the
hope of the British nation. she like
our own Princess was born to Ill a
most conspicuous Office. Both in early
life were cast down from high posi-
ton, one by death alone, the other by
misfortune and death. These are the
Bishops words:
1--WE measure the heights from which
they fell, and calculate the extent Of
their loss on scale proportional to
the yaIue We have been accustomed
20 attaCn TO the immunities and en-
ioyments which ii deprives them.
Hence the misfortunes of princes who
have survived their greatness, and ter
minated a bri.nant career by captivity
and death, have been selected by poets
in every age as the bases of those iic-
tons which are invented for the pur-
pose OF producing cOmmiseratIon.'
The death of Princess Kaiulani oC-
cupies our thoughts now. She carried
while living the strangest and most
authentic romance OF the native Ha-
waiian life Her biography, and the
romance II expressed was known to
the English speaking race, in all lands,
and II has sympathized with her in
her misfortnnes, for which she was not
responsible. In the book of her life
only twentyfour Of the white pages
are inscribed with the eventful story,
and 1t is now closed and sealed to
human eyes Beyond the grave, its
sequel will be written,
The Princess received the com
mendaticn OF all. as time went on,
after the downfall OF the Monarchy.
because she gave evidence OF wise re-
signation to her misfortune. She made
no bitter quarrel with her fate, but
aESed with true womanly dignity and
We respected her for 1t, in spite OF
differences on political subjects.
She lies now in her dreamless bed
and is beyond earthly comfort, and
all that We can do is to make over
her grave wilderness OF flowers, and
keep her in pleasant memory.

FRANCE AND HER AffLlC1lON.

\, the dinner given by the Union
League Club Of New York, In honor
OF Mr. ChOate, the new Emblssador
az the BrIusA Court, Mr. Elihu Root
who presided, gave after many toasts
had been offered, and replied TO in
brilliant speeches, the final toast OF
the evening, France in her affection. %
The toast was drunk standing BY the
three hundred distinguished guests.
Within six years OF the date OF the
adOpt on OF the American Constitution,
the French inspired by the example
Of the American people, established =
Republic over one hundred years go
by. The American Constitution covers
an empire OF forty-hye States. several
Of them nearly as large as France,
and each State is in Itself well or
ganizcd republic.
Frances Republic disappeared undo"
the Nlpolennic Empire, remained help
less under Bourbon reign, became vital
again on the overthrow of the Bour-
bons. disappeared again under the
Second Empire. and once more APP
pear in name at least. as great
Power.
While the toast to France in her
anicti1n' refers 20 the sudden death
Of Presiden, Faure. it might we'll refer
to France in her political aiiliction.
Although the Republic will probably
survive in spite OF the internal trou-
bles. there will be no peace until the
vicious system of centralized govern
ment is abolished.
]. Z. {. Bodley in his admirable
book recently published, declares that
the French people have lost their po-
litcal hopafilncss, and seem to be
some disaster 1t Is almost
conceded that parliamentary govern
ment ia France Is failure as 1t Is
now conducted, and only by a slow and
process can 1t be charged

er. Unul the French Assembly shall
cease to use its powers. in its own sell
fisn interests to strengthen centraliz-
alton, there can be- little hope OF sta
Bile government.
The great American Republic owes
its creation, over a hundred years ago,
by France. That generosity is quite
forgotten by the present generation Of
Americans 1t is, therefore, only
gracious act for us 10 interpret this
toast as one well suited to express
the feelings OF thoughtful Americans
towards the nation that gave our fore
fathers food and arms in the gloomy
days of the Revolution.

THE CHECK REIN"

Mr.. Allan Herbert calls ,he attention
of this paper to the cruelty praCticed
by many OF the educated and intelli-
gent people OF this city, in the abuse
OF the checking rein upon horses. This
abuse Is rapidly increasing. Any one
who will notice the teams, especially
the double ones. in our streets. sees
an objectionable amount OF cruelty in
iiicted upon these noble animals.
Every one who desires to ascertain
whether this practice Is or Is not
cruel, may cause his or her head to
be strapped rp, as the horses heads
are frequently strapped up. The pain
and discomfort from it will quickly
convert any one who has any doubt
on the subject The result OF taking
the head out OF its natural position is
pain, just as it is painful 10 place the
arm or leg, for any length of time in
an unnatural position.
In those parts OF the Mainland
name, or have been compelled by the
lovers of animals, to be humane in
conduct, the abuse of the checking rein
has been stopped. The humane mis-
sionarles in many communities TO the
animal kingdom have made as strenu-
Gus a fight against cruel treatment, as
another class OF missionaries have
made AGAINST the worship OF idols in
distant parts Their arduous work
has been among obstinate good people
who take no time 10 think about the
matter.

JUSTICE TO THE CHINESE.

The Chinese immigration cases may
DO restated as follows. Previous to
annexation the Hawaiian government
had granted permission to Chinese
residents of these Islands who were
formerly immigrants, TO return to
them, after visiting China.
The act of annexation provided that
there shall he no further immigra-
ton OF CHINESE into the Hawaiian Isl
ands. except upon such conditions as
are now or hereafter may be allowed
by the laws OF the United States"
Subsequent to annexation certain
Chinese residents whohad received per-
mission from the Hawaiian government
TO return 10 these Islands after visit
ing China, We're forcib!y prevented
from landing, on their return, by the
Treasury immigration commissioner ~
this port, acting, as We are informed,
nnder the advice of Special Agent Sc
wall.
There We're two ways OF constituting
this provision Of the act OF anneXa-
tiOn. One Of these ways was, that
the Chinese residents with return per
mits, were not immigrants in the
sense contemplated by the statute
This construction was one in harmony
with the existing Federal laws on the
subject, and, moreover it avoided do
ing gross injustice TO innocent parties.
The other way involved the govern
ment of these Islands in brea@n OF
the contract with the Chinese, to
whom had been granted return per
mits, and IL also involved u breach
Of international law in the detention
an alien power.
The Immigrant Commissioner, acting
upon the advice OF the Special Agent,
promptly chose the narrow and I'M
just construction of the law, and de-
prived the'S Chinese with return per-
mits of the liberty.
On appeal 70 the Courts, the Chief
Justice held IN T the Courts had juris-
diction 10 review the acts of the In
observation-disclosures, and, in the case
befor" him, decided that the provis-
ion OF the annexation act, so far as It
excluded the Chinese with permits
was retroactive and void.
Upon a review of the subject by the
full Court, in another and similar case,
II was decided that the Courts created
under the Hawaiian Constitution and
laws. were without Jurisdiction in mat

MORE HARBOR ROOM NEEDED.

The pressure for ship room in
crea.es rapidly. The want OF 1t J..
already some burden on commerce and
the burden should not exist.
Even with the most economical Use
OF the harbor, there will be want OF
room, within few years il our port
becomes one OF call
1t Is suggested that a deep canal be
constructed from the water adjoining
the railway wharf to Halihi hay, so
that large ships cOulI find wharf room
there. The reply % this problem is
that - ship canal connecting the two
harbOrs Will be nearly three miles in
length. and that it would be cheaper.
II this use of Kalihl bay Is needed, to
cut u deep passage from the ocean to
that bay. The amount OF money need
ed to construct ship canal as pro
posed would be, it is said far more
than sufficient TO dredge out six slips
in the present harDor which will ac-
commodate at least twelve large
steamers, while there still will be room
in the harbor for forty more steamers
of the average size.
Unless some action is taken in the
matter, the course of events will be,
in All probability, the deepening of the
Pearl harbor channel by the Federal
government. after which the great re-
sources of harbor front there will be
used, and commerce will be transfer
