a DANGEROUS DECISION.

Solomon, a young Hawaiian, was
arraigned in the District Court this
morning, charged with secreting an
alleged leper The trial which end
ed in the conviction of the man is
an incident of the dangerous laws,
which we'll meaning legislators have
made, but which carry with them
dangers to the safety of the people
and are fraught with possible cor
ruption and the venting of personal
spite and the seeking OF revenge.
Solomon was accused of hiding a
woman described as his wife and
named Helen, who, according to an
officer of the Board of Health, was a
"leper-suspect." Helen evidently
had no other name, but DR.. How
ards memory was sufficiently power
full to make him testify under oath
that he, in October, 1898, did ex-
anime a woman named Helen, and
that he did consider her suffering
from leprosy, and told David Ma
hoolewa, an officer of the Board Of
Health, to see that the said Helen
appeared at the next meeting of the
board of examining physicians, The
learned doctor remembered al
about Helen, except whether sh'
was a half-wbite or Hawaiian
what time in the month she was OK
amined, aud why in his opinion sb'
was leper. He admitted that h'
had no authority to declare any
body afflicted with the dread dis
ease, and stated that no record

David Nahoolewa, an officer of
the Board of Health, claimed that
the woman, Helen, had moved from
Queen street to Palama with Solo.
mon, and that he thereby had missed
her, when he called around at her
former residence. 1t did not dawn
upon the mind of the officer that
people do move from one place to
another in Honolulu, and that Pa
lama would not be considered very
good "hiding" place. A native wo-
man who claimed to be the landlady
of the unfortunate Helen said, that
she got "makau" when she saw the
girl, because there we're wrinkles
under her eyes and other signs of
leprosy. And upon such flimsy evil
dence was the woman stamped liz
our District Court as leper, and
her husband found guilty of secret
ing her from an irresponsible officer
of the Board of Health.
The law under which Solomon
was charged is plain enough. 1t
says that those who hide and secret
prisoners afflicted with leprosy,
knowingly,are guilty of a misdemea-
nor. The law was made with special
regard to preventing escaped lepers,
and people officially pronounced
lepers from finding an asylum under
the roofs of friends. The law is
wise and proper, but it was never
intended for those who allow "sus-
poets" to stay with them-it means
people considered lepers by Dr.
Howard, David Nahoolewa, or
some old woman, possibly nursing q
grudge and grievance.

1t will, however, be manifestly un-
fair to the new constituency of the
Islands, in whatever manner that
constituency may be organized,
whether on the lines of qualified
or universal suffrage, that they shall
practically be debarred from share
in the organization of the new Ter
ritorial Government and the endorse
ment of officials by the present legis-
lature which represents one-fourth
of those honestly entitled to it.

We have also President
OF our own, but how far his author
ity extends, who knows? And we
have also Special Agent of the
United States and another Special
Agent OF an important department
of the United States, but they have,
apparently, no machinery to carry
out their instructions and wishes in
order to make them effective with
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-12

1t is even possible, we do not say
even remotely probable, that much
that has been done will be undone
when sober thought succeeds to the
immature and illogical reasoning of
passion and prejudice, but in the
meantime let US face the actual con-
dition of affairs and consider among
ourselves what is right and just to
the people at large, republican and
democrat, radical and conservative,
home rule or the balance of power
party.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-12

But what can we do about it but
wait for daylight? We all know that
chaos preceded light and order, and
no country could be in much worse
chaotic condition to-day than we
are governmentally, while we have
practically an inchoate system of
dual government, one portion ad-
ministered in Hawaii and the other
at Washington, with Judges meta
phoricall y-speaking standing on
their heads and with perplexed
brains feeling with their feet to as
certain whether their jurisdiction
extends to the heavens above, the
earth beneath or the waters of the
sea that encompass them.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-12

We are aware that this is an affair
for Congress to deal with, but if our
Government and its supporters were
honest and noble men they would
advise their friends in Washington
to so frame the governmental organic
laws of the Territory OF Hawaii that
the new constituency should have
the say and not the present mort
bund legislature.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-12

We think the verdict should be
that the present Legislature should
have nothing to do with the organ
ization of the Territory, but that a
new registration of voters and a
new election should be held to at
tend to such a matters
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-12

The present legislature was elect
ed by only a proportion even of
the total registration of 1857 voters,
of which Hawaii furnished 1866;
Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, 3S4:
Oahu, 80, and Kauai and Niihau,
AL. Even at the previous election
under the present rule there were
4,436 voters registered, and during
the "happy days" of the monarchy
no less than $4,000 or $4,000 with a
much smaller population Of men
eligible to vote.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1899-01-12


Now it would be rank injustice if
5000 voters (many of whom have
most decidedly changed their views
and political utilization since they
have consummated their schemes)
should dominate $1,000 or 10000
persons eligible to vote, and still
more unjust that the present regime
which, to use the very mildest ex-
preston, has disappointed it's parti-
sans, and is decidedly unpopular,
should have the control of affairs
until the new and popular consti-
tuency is organized and has elected
its representatives in November.
