Special Cabinet Session.
AS soon as Minister Congers cable
gram had been translated. cabinet
council was called in the office of the

The consultation brought about no
pronounced change of policy, for it
was felt that already every energy

nation. and that there was absolutely
nothing more that could be done.
After all. the cabinet officials felt, and
so stated, that the message was an
evidence of friendliness and good
faith of the proforeign element of the
Chinese, and that wisdom dictated a
ize this friendship.

NATURALIZATION MATTERS.

We don't consider it fair of the
Honolulu Republican to make an
attack on Mr.. Henry Smith, the
chief clerk of the Supreme Court,
because he, perhaps through an
error, has made charges against
those who have taken out natural

ization papers, which were excessive
or perhaps illegal.

Mr.. Smith has been. and is one OF
the most valuable officials of the
territorial government 1t is true
that he may have made mistake in
the fees charged those who desired
to become citizens, but mistakes are
certainly excusable while a concern,
be it; political or financial, passes a
transition period. We don't be-
lieve that Mr.. Smith made the
charge OF fee without having con-
suited Justice Frear, and that exalt-
ed official might have been as
puzzled as Mr.. ST. it'll was
when So 80 was demanded from
would be Americans. Perhaps
neither Judge or clerk had their
coats on while discussing the mat
ter and hence the mistake.

We hope that our contemporary
some day will come nearer home
and assist in showing the faults Of
our educational system in Hawaii
as matters have been conducted
during the past few years. 1t may
be unnecessary to point out faults
since Mr.. Atkinson has taken the
reins OF the department in his hands,
but even he may not have followed
the peculiar methods OF the Board
since he severed his connections
with it, nor may he be a reader of
