fore the Federal authorities. Mr..
BallouS brief will also be accepted.
In other words our good friend
who is receiving pay from the Dip
lomatic and Consular appropriation,
is receiving the same consideration
as the lawyer acting for private in
terests. The lawyers have submit
ted their case to the Judge, and
there the matter rests until the
"neXt steamer.
Judging from the JUNCTION with
which the Executive explains the
doingS of its special agent, it would
seem that they harbored fear that
he would be fired out of court with
out a hearing. If such thought
did cause the Executive knees to
tremble, it merely shows how little
our officials appreciate the marked
consideration with which President
Mckinley and his Cabinet treat
any and every petitioning American
citizen. Larry Godkin of the
Evening Post or Aguinaldo Atliin-
son would doubtless be granted a
personal hearing at Washington if
they asked it.
II is possible though not probable
that the President, acting under the
hypnotic spell Of the lawyers, will
rescind his order or guarantee the
titles given to public lands by the
Executive since July 7, 1903.
Though it would be gratifying to
have the majority of these titles
ratified, it is extremely doubtful
that the President or ire Attorney
General will 90 before Congress
with a "later edition. interpreta.
ton of the NewlandS Resolution.
As previously stated by the BULLE-
TIN, the Attorney Generals de-
ciSion in one respect placed the in
nocent purchasers on the same
plane as the SquatterS The Pre-
S,dent did his duty as outlined by
the Resolution of Annexation and
turned all claimants to the public
lands Of Hawaii over to Congress
(which, alone, has the authority for
management and disposition. And
il is not improbable that Congress
will place the investigation of the
Ipublic land transfers by the Hawai-
ian Government in the hands of the
Secretary of Agriculture, as fore.
