A GOOD SHOWING.

The monthly reports of sugar exports
for places outside of Honolulu, which
have been regularly published in The
Star, are extremely interesting. The
three points, Hilo, Kahului and Mahu.
kona, to which may be added Honoipu,
make a very respectable showing for
the month of May. To export $4,000 tons
of sugar, valued at $1,226,5O2 sc is no
mean work for thirty days. 1t is at the
rate of 500 tons per day.
1t is a curious thing that Kahului ex-
ported nearly double the amount that
Hilo did. and that it was even in excess
Of the exports of both Hilo and the two
Kohala ports. OF the $1,000 tons export
ed, outside of Honolulu, over 5000 tons
are to the credit of Kahului, while
Hilo's contribution was only 1900 tons
and the two Kohala ports POO tons.
In the course of a couple of years the
output of sugar from the Island of Maui
will be enormous. The Hilo plantations
may increase somewhat, but the limit
of their prOductiveness is almost reach
ed. But it is the Puma district which
will come forward to Hilos assistance,
without the prospects from Olaa or
Puma, Hilo's place in the sugar produc-
ing category would have become Sec
ondary to both Central Maui and Oahu.

OPEN TO CRITICISM.

No person who PERFORMS a public
duty is exempt from criticism. Whether
it be the President, the Chief Justice,
the Secretaries of State, the Judges or
the Juries, everyone has a perfect right
to discuss and discuss publicly the ap-
parent errors or Inconsistencies of their
conduct. 1t has been judged correct
that no mention beyond bare facts
should be made during the progress of
a criminal trial, but once the trial Is
over there is no reason why every body
engaged in the trial should not be criti-
cized.
Criticism is what keeps a very large
number of people strictly to their line Of
duty and prevents them from becoming
partial or stepping off the track. Crlti-
cism is one of the most powerful safe
guards a community has. When peo-
pie know that their acts are going to
be criticized and their reasoning chal-
lenged, they are very apt to give extra
consideration to the matter before
them.
Jury duty is a burden laid upon the
pleasant duty, apart from the fact that
1t interferes with the regular routine of
mans business. 1t is in most cases
carried out conscientiously The man
who serves well on a jury deserves well
of his fellow men, and is a credit to his
state or territory. Credit is due to ev-
cry honest juryman, however wrong
headed he may be.
But because a man performs a piece
of work which is irksome to him, and is
conscientious in carrying out his du-
ties, there is not necessarily an aegis
thrown around him, and he is not ex-
empt from criticism. The more consci-
entious a man is, the more is he likely
to need criticism. His very conscienti-
BUSINESS makes him stumble into error.
A juryman is as liable to error as any
other mortal. If you take the speeches
of opposing counsel in a case, each
paints different picture of the pls-
oner. The one tries to prove him an
unrBitigated scoundrel, the other
paints him very much as an angel Of
light. But th@pps lpplqer lJsIlAlly. makes
allowances and sees good in both. The

The Dreyfus case seems to have
reached a very acute stage in Paris.
From the last kilograms there seems to
be no doubt but that the case will be
opened up again, though the sentence
will not be reversed without new trial.
1t is a marvellous picture of French
justice which is being presented to the
world, and most people are thankful
that they are exempt from French
courts and French methods. If the
Court of Appeals gives the order for
the return of Dreyfus, he is TO be SNUG
Sled across the Atlantic, landed at a
port which will be kept a profound Sc
cret, and Immediately be handed over
to the military authorities. After the
experience that has been had OF French
military prisons, it is quite as likely as
not that Dreyfus may never appear at
all, for they have had a way of having
convenient suicides in Jail. Under these
circumstances it is no wonder that the
Dreyfusards and the anti-Dreyfusards
are at daggers drawn, and that a row
which may end in a revolution is i'm
nRinent in Paris.

Juror picks out the strong points in each
portrait and renders his verdict upon a
consideration of both. But because he
has done so, he is by no means exempt
from criticism. Every one in a free
community is entitled to his opinion,
and he is free to express it about the
highest or the lowest. Criticism indeed
does enormous good, and the world
would be a poor one If criticism could

cREMAToRY FOR HONOLULU.


The consideration of a crematory
seems to have gone into allegiance. Not
so long ago everybody was talking and
planning, but all the talk has up to the
present, come to naught. So has the
location of the new cemetery about
which there was the greatest interest
expressed, and expeditions in search of
available sites were undertaken.
The question is just as live a one to-
day as it was month or SO back. Both
the crematory and the new cemetery
sites are needed, and they become the
more necessary as time goes on. In
point of fact their need increases in
stead of diminishing. Because the
Punchbowl site was found to be one
that met with considerable opposition,
it is no reason why the subject should
be dropped, and left to rest until site
is wanted in hurry, and then we are
forced to take what ever we can.
1t is a serious question as to what we
shall do with our dead. We have to
consider two points carefully, the
hygienic question and the subject of
jectonable on both counts. The sci
entific men showed that it would be a
menace to the health of the city. Care
full consideration showed that the ex-
pense of hearse and carriages to the top
of Punchbowl, would be considerably
greater than the expense along a rail-
way or a tram line.
hn no I'LL, l..
faced The Executive should choose one
of the sites suggested outside the town
limits. Where ever the site or sites
chosen may be, there will always be a
disagreement of opinion, and it will be
only after they are decided upon that
agreement will come. The Greek paint
er who invited every one in the market
place to put chalk mark upon any
blemish that might be seen in his pic
ture, found the painting one white sur
face in the evening. What ever site
may be chosen, there will be plenty of
chalk marks on it.
With regard to a crematory there is
now ample information upon the sub
ject in the hands of several Of our citi-
ZellS. n puDllC SUBSCRIPTION would bring
in the money required and the building
could be erected. Or the present ceme-
terry association, which now has a large
surplus fund, might initiate the work,
and call for monetary assistance. As
has been shown by letters addressed to
The Star during the time the subject
was argued before, there are many peo-
pie who take an interest in the matter
on the other Islands, and who are per
fectly ready to give pecuniary aid to-
wards the erection of columbarium.
! That majority of the community, or
at least very large section of the citi-
zens, is i'm favor of cremation is an
acknowledged fact 1t takes, however.
a good deal of effort to move people out
of groove in which they have remain
ed for years. Many and many of us
| have horror of the grave for the
bodies of our dear ones, and have no
desire for it for ourselves, and this feel
ing must in time bring about the estab-
lishment of crematory. If such an
institution did not pay at the outset it
would very soon after it became the
custom thus to dispose of the beloved
dead.

NEGRO TRAMP
 KILLED AT WARRIOR.
City Marshall Blackburn Tried to Arrest Him and He
 Resisted.

News reached the city yesterday of the killing of q desperate negro at Warrior on Monday night by R. D. Blackburn, the city marshal of that place. The negro had been beating his way on one of the freight trains of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road and had drawn pistol on the train crew when they attempted to put him off. At Warrior Conductor Shannon sent for MT. Blackburn, and a search for the negro, who was concealed in one of the box cars of the train, then began.
 According to MT. Blackburn's account, the negro finally crawled out of the rear window of one of the cars, and after run ming up the track short distance, fired two shots at c. R. Bibb, the station agent at Warrior. Mr Blackburn kept up tho chase, and once, as he was crawling be- tween two cars, the negro shot at him al- most point blank, but missed The chase continued, and little later the negro at tempted to shoot again, but his pistol snapped without firing.
 MT. Blackburn covered him with a shot gun and told him to surrender, but the ne- gro turned to run, and as he did so Mr. Blackburn fired. Lights were brought and the negro was found at the bottom of an embankment down which he had rolled, with fourteen ,buckshot in his body He lived only eight or ten minutes.
 There was no means of identifying the dead but for some reason he Is thought to be a badly wanted negro in some part of the state. He was yellow negro, about five feet seven inches tall, weighing about 15O pounds, and apparently about "A years old He wore a gray cap, with blue coat and vest, jeans pants and cloth leggins, with the name Lloyd" on the inside. His shoes were No SIS in size and were badly worn.

 . The new duties imposed upon MT.

 The office of purchasing agent was for mally filled by the county commissioners one of whom was at the office every day.
 The office of superintendent of the poor is a newly created office or provision of the board of revenue act. The duties are merely to look after applicants for charity and to report upon the merits of the case.
 The salary of the clerk of the board of revenue Is only $50 per month, which is not at all commensurate with the work of the office and for this reason MT. Me Carthy was appointed to the other offices, each of which pays a small salary.

 Leaving the cooking school the click of a score or more of typewriting machines caught the ear and Mrs. Thompson gra- ciously greeted the visitors as they entered her department and she gave them very pleasing information about the work which she has so successfully managed. This department has already furnished many of the pupils with excellent positions over the state. The eager women next en- ter the dressmaking department and gaze upon the array of handsome gowns that are displayed in such numbers. Dainty or gandies, attractive morning gowns, silk waists of every color, shirt waists in happy combination of lace and ribbon, exquisite little summer capes, costly silk gowns that would satisfy the most exactng modistes creations in such rare colors that one Is actually astonished at the beauty and tai- ent displayed before them. It is but nat ural that Miss Wade should feel great pride in the exhibit of her pupils.
 From the dressmaking into the millinery department was step from beauty into loveness. The demand upon this depart ment has been great and orders have been nlled all over the state so that only par tlal exhibit of the work could be shown Miss Hood trains the girls so that they can go from the school fully prepared to enter any establishment that desires their ser- vices.
 Perhaps none of the visitors could un- derstand the click, click in the department or telegraphy, but the interested girls at the instruments and the charming teacher presiding gave them a very pleasant enter tainment. Mrs. Hudson is so thoroughly Tn love with her work that she has made 1t very popular with the girls.
